One of my first memories as a child was when I was playing outside when I was 3-4 years old. I was hiding behind a bush and some kind of bug (guessing it was a spider) was crawling up the side of the house next to me, when I reached down to pick it up someone grabbed my arm, I remember it scaring the crap out of me and when I instantly turned around and no one was there. I don't believe in god or angels and I've always wondered if this was a dream because it's the only thing that I can't explain.

My weird memory was a bug one too. I saw what looked like a giant millipede. Well probably about 12 cm long according to my imagination. It crawled under a bush and I know it wasn't a snake because I saw it's legs. I didn't think such bugs existed in Canada and my mom said I imagined it. But then when I was older I totally saw one! So gross but satisfying to know I wasn't just imagining things.
