I used to be, well, till kind of am, terrified of revolving fans! I always thought they were robots and they were out to kill me at night. I would duck under my blanket whenever the front {its big "eye"} you look at me! It was very creepy.

I used to believe that the only way you could obtain a pool table was by winning it on The Price is Right. Therefore, I told all of my friends my parents were on the show since we owned a pool table.

At our house when I was growing up, the carpet at the top of the stairs was not quite fastened down, and you could lift up the corner of it. Whenever my younger sister would climb to the top of the stairs, she'd lift up the corner of the carpet and exclaim "Nope, the bacon's not done!", and then go on about her business.

She has no idea why she did this.

My cousin's got me to believe anything. They told me that under the carpet live everyone in the world. Sort of like a twin. Even cartoon characters. One day I put my ear up to the ground and I still swear to this day I heard Kermet the frogs voice.

I used to believe that all old houses had secret rooms. So, when we moved into an old house I was overjoyed and spent days searching for that secret room. I mean, the house was small and there was obviously no room for a secret room, but I just knew there had to be one. I still live in that house, I never found a secret room, but I still really wish there was one.

When I couldn't sleep, I would have to walk around the coffee table an even number (not odd) of times, then I could go back to bed and go to sleep.

I used to have a major fear of fire and would ask my parents every night whether there would be a fire that night. I thought it was something that was planned and they would know about it so we could get out on time.

We moved house when I was about 9 and the night before we moved my gran was taking the lightshades down. As she put the lightbulbs back in my dad said don't touch the lightswitch your gran will go up in a blue light if you do.

I had visions of lighting up blue and crackling just the way they do in cartoons. I was itching to flick the switch to see this phenomenon

Sandy

I used to believe that when the Dryer Buzzer went off (When your clothes are done drying) It was hungry. My brother often told me this, and had stuck me in there about 3 times. NEVER TURNED IT ON!! Therefore, because of him, I hate my Dryer!

Sour Panda

I used to believe that the decorative flamingos in my garden were real.

William

I remember that when i was three or 4 my parents told me we were going to move. I pictured us driving away with our house tied to the top of the car. To my surprise, the house stayed where it was when we left.

whenever i set the table i used to think that the knife and the spoon were dating since they were placed together and that the fork was jealous of them and was plotting to steal the spoon from the knife one day

I used to think that "wall-to-wall" carpeting meant that the entire room had carpet on it, including all the walls.

My mom collected these tiny little glass figurines when I was a kid, and she said if I touched them they would shock me because of static electricity. I believed that until I picked one up at the age of 22.

I used to believe the living room furniture would party after we all went to sleep.

When I was little my sister told me that if i stuck my fingers in any hole in the wall that the "wall rats" would bite my fingers and she demonstrated and "fainted" when she got "bit".

When I was little, my older brothers told me that if I looked at the microwave while it was running, it would burn my eyes. I didn't watch my food while it was in the microwave until I was 10.

Amanda

I used to believe that there were people hiding behind the walls in the space created by the studs. If they heard a certain password, they would come out of the wall and cause mayhem.
