I used to belive that when I was sleeping at night little turtle-heads (yes, just the heads) would bite off my toes. But that's only because my father told me so every night.

when i was 7(ish) i used to believe that a hedghog man lived under my bed bed an if my feet and or hands were poking out of my cover he would drag me under the bed and take to me this underworld place that was filled with lakes! i had to jump on to my bed for years... i think it had something to do with a progrmmme about gruesome fairy tales

When I was in preschool, I took ballet. Around Christmas time, my teacher decided to give us a special treat and tell us a story. It was about if you were a naughty little girl that if you fell asleep with your feet over the end of the bed, the rats would eat your feet off. I went home, fearing going to sleep, and stayed awake crying. I have many times been told that this was not true, but still, I CANNOT have my feet over the end of my bed. Thanks for the mental scarring, lady.

I used to believe that there was a toe monster that lived under my bed and would eat my toes if i hung them over the side of the bed. Thanks to my uncle that would tell me scary stories. and to this day, i still dont hang my feet off the side of the bed, just out of habit.

I also had the "cover-your-neck-with-the-blanket-to-ward-off-monsters" belief, but as an added twist I also had to keep my arms under the pillow at all times so they wouldn't be chewed by the wolves and crocodiles that prowled my room at night.

I used to believe that if I didnt cover at least my neck vampires would come and suck my blood out. At the same time if I didnt cover my arms I believed witches would cut them off at exactly midnight and use them for their stews. And if I surpassed them by covering my arms I believed I had to cover my feet so Aliens wouldnt cut them off and take them as shoes..

Strange One

when I was little in my room I had a blue carpet and when I had scarey dreames I would want to go to my mom & dad but I was afraid that their was sharks floating around my bed so I was afraid to go to my mom & dad

Courtney

I used to believe that there were 6 fat witches living uinder my bed. i was so afraid at night that i would jump from my door to my bed in fear that if i walked to close to the bed at night the witches would pull me under the bed and savagely attack me.

Whenever I went to sleep (I had long hair) I was always afraid to have my hair hang at the back or side of the bed and that It would get cut off. So I never let my hair hang anywhere..I was soo scared.

Aurora

I used to believe that if I laid on my back in my bed that the monster hiding underneath it couldn't grab me if I was watching. So I never slept on my side.

When I was about seven, I believed that a ghost would come and steal me in the night. I spent a couples of years only being able to sleep if I was gripping the edge of the mattress.

When I was five I was terrified that there was a big letter Z under by bed. I had a dream that I looked under my bed, and there was a big, plushy-looking letter Z there, and when I saw it it went, "Zzzzzzzz". Thereafter for a time I was afraid to look under my bed, in case the Z was there and it buzzed at me again.

Catherine

I used to think that a clown lived under my bed and tried to eat me while i was asleep

When I was 6 or 7 I thougt that sharks and alligators lived under my bed. I was so convinced that if I lifted my bedskirt I would be drowned and eaten alive by these creatures. One day my mom was cleaning and I saw her lifting the bedskirt. I closed my eyes and started screaming, in preperation for the meal I was about to become.

when i was little i thought there were snakes circling around my bed at night and they would eat me if i got out of bed. i also thought that they would eat my feet if they were hanging off of the bed.

Erica

When I was little I used to believe that crocodiles lived underneath my bed. I used to have re-occuring dreams of being pulled out of my bed and not being able to get up off the floor and so just lay waiting for the crocodiles to get me! I always used to jump onto my bed from about a metre away just in case!

Natasha

After only seeing Jaws for a brief moment, I was convinced that my bed was an island with the ocean surrounding, and that Jaws was under my bed and would grab me if I put my feet near the edge

Sey

I used to believe there were snakes under my bed. That is why I couldn't let my arms hang down by the side, because snakes would bite me. I also thought there were witches flying around the ceiling, so I had to pull the covers up over my head, sleeping on the side, so I could have my face exposed to breathe.

Barbara

I used to believe there were black panthers that lived under my bed. Since it was dark under my bed, they must have been black, the better to blend in. I thought they would swipe at my feet with their claws as I got into bed. When I would return from the potty in the middle of the night I would run all the way down the hall and leap into bed so they couldn't get me.
