I remember that!
Wow, talk about ancient memories! That invisible thing haunted me for weeks after that episode. I guess I was easily scared.
There was one other TV show that creeped me out so bad I couldn't sleep for weeks, I can't remember the name but it was like twilight zone, short vignettes. The episode that ruined me was about an invisible devil of some sort that came out of an old hoover vacuum cleaner.
My best friend's mom had one of those, I remember finding myself alone in a room with the thing, I freaked out and ran home. I never did confess my sheer terror upon seeing the thing.
Funny how a few seconds of TV in my youth shaped my life so dramatically. I made sure my children didn't indiscriminately watch TV just to prevent such a thing. It worked, when you ask them what they remember of TV when they were little and they'll conjure the likes of The Princess Bride.
