    Woken up by 'Death'...

    A grandmother who woke to find an intruder dressed as the Grim Reaper standing in her bedroom ripped off his mask and discovered the man was her neighbour.

    Widow Sharron Mayers, 54, was fast asleep when she was woken by mystery man dressed as the Grim Reaper in a white mask and long black cape.

    Grandmother Mrs Mayers tried to sink her teeth into the 6ft 4in intruder - but had taken out her dentures before bed.

    A court heard she then bravely pulled the man’s mask off to reveal her neighbour Philip Evans, 35.

    Mrs Mayers said: 'His arm was inches from my face so I thought: "I’ll bite him".
    'But unfortunately I’d taken my false teeth out at bedtime.'

    Police arrived at Mrs Mayers’ home in Beaumaris, North Wales, to find he had smashed through her front door to give her the fright of her life.

    Mrs Mayers suffered minor injuries to her neck and arms and needed counselling and medication.

    Father-of-four Evans claimed admitted causing actual bodily harm to Mrs Mayers - but blamed it on a drunken prank.

    She told the court: 'It has cost me £1,000 to move house because I no longer felt safe in my own home. I still can’t sleep a year after it happened.'

    Trainee plumber Evans, of Beaumaris, was given a 45-week prison sentence at Caernarfon Crown Court.

    He was ordered to pay Mrs Mayers £750 compensation and made the subject of a five-year restraining order.

    Judge Peter Heywood told Evans: 'This was a prank which went horribly wrong.'

    The court ordered Evans’ Grim Reaper outfit to be destroyed.

    After the cae Mrs Mayers, who lives alone, said: 'I was asleep when I heard heavy footsteps coming up my stairs.

    'The bedroom door opened and in the dim light I could see the Grim Reaper standing there.

    'I thought my time had come.'

    I am sorry for the trauma this lady had, but looking from aside this situation is hilarious.

    She woke up, saw Death and decided to bite him, but her teeth were gone in the glass...

    "...traumatised..."?

    It's hardly like she was frightened to death...

    Or...

    When confronted by the Grim Reaper, challenge him to a game of "battleship" or maybe Twister.

    These guys did.

    Not going there Dok. I fully expect to eventually lose that battle but the grim reaper will have my size 12 boot up his ass for the rest of eternity.
