I totally understand the hiding under blankets, (or in closet in my case), when scared. I am convinced the mass murders who are lurking in my bushes would never think to check pile of blankets (which would obviously be shivering), under the bed or in a closet when they are on a rage filled murdering spree. I think of such routes when I scare myself in the dark or a noise (usually animal) makes me convinced someone is lurking around.
