After watching just one part of a movie when I was about five where these cheap, scary troll thing-looking dolls come out of a vent in a bathroom, I would always open the door before I flushed when I went to the bathroom. Quicker when getting away.....

I hate blondes

I watched Alfred Hitchcock episodes the old black and white ones when I was young about 6 or 7. I watched one where he talked about water torture where a person was strapped in a chair and water was let drip on his head until a hole ws eroded in the persons head. I used to think that standing under a running shower would erode my body and I would check for dents after every shower

i only indulged in sitting on our bathroom floor once to play with my bathing toys because my mom warned me to keep my eyes open for earthworms. she said they tend to crawl out of the spaces between the tiles and enter one's body through his/her holes (you know). i feared bathroom floors since then. now that i'm grown up, i dropped the fear, but i still keep off any tile, even on walls.

That, if I took a shower and closed my eyes that someone might kill me or eat me. I still sorta believe, that might happen.

The fan in our bathroom when I was younger was really loud. The switch was right by the one for the light and my mum taught me not to press the fan. I think she was just trying to teach me how to turn on the light but for a few years later, I believed that the fan switch woke up a monster and that was the noise.

Scared of switches :)

when i was younger i used to think that when you flushed the toilet, if you wern't downstairs or in bed or doing whatever you were doing before using it before the sound of the flushing stopped, the sound would drag you back to the toilet in slow motion and you'd get sucked into the sewers with everyone else that hadn't been fast enough.

i used to believe that the water in the sink was filterd out from the water in the toilet bowl...i would never get a drink of water after flushing!

still affraid of the boogy man

I used to believ ythat when you didn't wash your hands a toilet monster would come out of the toilet and put you in the toilet where the poop belongs

when I was younger(about 3or 4), my mom read me the Chronicles of Narnia.
I used to think that if I didn't get out of the bathtub quick enough one of those evil centaur thingies
would pop out of the drain pipe

when i was little i used to think that you would have to get out of the bath when your fingers went wrinkly or your entire body would go wrinkly to.

I thought that if I put my hand on the drain while the bathtub was draining my fingers would get stuck in there. I assumed that to get me loose, firemen would have to come to my house and chop off my hand. I'm not quite sure why I thought firemmen.

I used to think that if you stayed in the bathtub while the water was draining that you would get sucked down.
So my mum would rip the plug out and I would scream and leap out of the bath and she'd just be laughing.

I use to believe that perana could swim up the drain of the bath tub and eat you! Or at least that is what my sister told me when I was six, right after we watched the movie "Perana". I didn't take a bath for a year(I was stuck taking showers with a plate over the drain)!

sweet potata

i use to belive taht "It" the scary clown would get me when i took a shower so i would alwyas leave the door cracked just incase. n in public bathrooms, they have those drains in the floors, well i won't walk on them bc im afraid this evil thing well take me under(thanks "Are you afraid of the Dark?")

Heather

I can't remember what age it started at but when I was much younger I believed that in my bathtub there lived an octopus. It terrified me, so I hated taking baths!

When I was little, I used to believe that burglars and classmate were outside my bathroom window staring at me when I took a shower or went to the bathroom and i always got scared so I tried to cover up myself as much as possible!

When i was little i used to believe iif you pooped in a port-a-potty (portable restroom) a zombie mummy would come up and try to eat you!!! i still don't like port-a potties, i don't like'em at all...

I used to think that when the water went down the drain it filled a tank and eventually the tank would be full and the bath would fill with dirty water and overflow.

I panicked one day when they must have changed the plumbing or something, becuase no longer was the drain empty, from then on there was always a water level (like the toilet) and i thought "its finally happened, the bath is full"

Anon

when i was younger my mum used to tell me that i shouldnt drink the water from the taps in the bathrooms because it was 'spiders water'. She explained that a little group of spiders had a factory in the sink and that they processed the water so if i drank any of it i would get ill. i used to be terrified of brushing my teeth with the water! :-(

Anon

I used to think that there were aliens living in the bathroom fan that would look down into the room. I think I heard a weird clicking sound one day that sparked this belief.

Don't know what i was thinking
