an encounter with giant spiders

i was about 15 years old and was staying at my brothers house in high brooms, tunbridge wells. we had been to a gig where he was playing so we were late going to bed. i was aware that the house was haunted by an old man that everyone called george or fred, can't exactly remember. i was actually staying in the room where he was most often seen by others.

i lay down to go to sleep and suddenly felt paralysed. a peculiar sound started to fill my ears although i can't exactly remember what it sounded like. the sound felt like a non-existent pressure if that makes sense??? there were cracks in the walls and they started to widen. an enormous, dark, hairy spider leg shot out of the crack in the wall and planted itself over the other side of my bed and over but above me. then another from the other side, then another and another until i was almost trapped in my bed. suddenly i was able to move and shot off my bed and out of the room and ran downstairs to where my brothers step-son was sleeping. he looked alarmed because of my alarm i suppose. i remember thinking he must think i'm completely mad because of the way i was babbling and the content of my babble.... it became obvious to me that he and my brother and my brothers wife thought i had gone a little mad and had maybe been influenced by the fact that i knew the house and that room, in particular, was haunted. maybe they were right but i am sure i can tell the difference between a dream and another type of event.
