Game: Riddle Me This
For this game, post a riddle with both an English and Spanish translation. Please do not post an overly difficult riddle, or a riddle relying on word play (most of these are nearly impossible to translate). If desired, post a picture that goes along with the riddle. In order to post your own riddle, you have to first answer the previous one.
If a riddle is too difficult to solve, whoever posted it needs to give some sort of hint. This is not a contest to stump people. However, make your riddles challenging enough to require some thought.
Let the game begin!
First Riddle - It cannot be heard, smelled, or felt. It can be seen, but not like other objects. It stays in the shadows, and comes out at night. It lives in caves, basements, and cupboards. Every horror movie ever made prominently displays this thing. What is this thing?
No se puede oír, olerse o sentirse. Se puede ver, pero no como otros objetos. Se queda en las sombras y sale por la noche. Vive en cuevas, sótanos y armarios. Cada película de miedo alguna vez hecha muy a la vista muestra esta cosa. ¿Cuál es esta cosa?
Corrections to my Spanish are appreciated
