The Onion Man

So my friends talk about this very real person quite a lot. I thought one of them had made it up but it's in Urban Dictionary, so unless someone I know added it perhaps some of you may know of the Onion Man too.

The person that you think you keep seeing after a hard alcohol session ( usually two days or more ). This is a section of paranoia you suffer as a result of drinking.
Lying in bed after a 2-3 day alcohol session sweating hard, onion man is standing over your bed supervising and wont go away.
He appears in your dreams and can be seen through the corner of your eye on occasions forcing one to constantly look over ones shoulder.

Do you have similar names for this terrifying character? Or perhaps in your culture he is mythologised differently. Please discuss!

wait thats my wife.

in america we call him D. Tremens

In Finland the term used for this is "night of the lizards", and there are loads of stories of people seeing giant lizards after a drinking binge. So apparently the hallucinations caused by delirium tremens can be affected by cultural stereotypes, which I guess is not particularly suprising.

'the horrors'
