Back when I was five or six, my best friend and I were hanging out on the playground. Her older sister was showing off her new yo-yo, and we were immensly jealous. So, we created our own imaginary friends. We each had a chipmunk, and it could turn into a yo-yo!

We had hours of fun playing with them. Then we started creating more and more. Eventually, some other kids asked us what we were doing.

I told them we had 'Invisible Animals'. They wanted some too. So I handed them an egg (invisible, of course), and said that if they held it close to their heart, it would hatch into their own animal!

God, I was a strange child. O.O

After seeing The Borrowers when I was little, I used to believe all of these little people used to take things from you, then give them back. But I also used to think there were The Stealers witch used to take things without giving them back. So when I lost something, (I always did) and it turned up, I used to say, "Thank you Borrowers!" But when something didn't turn up, I would say, "Its not my fault, The Stealers took it!"

I used to have a friend. His name was "Ramesh Rabbit". He had two rabbit children and a rabbit wife with the same names as us and somehow, did everything we did. The strange part was, that he in no way resembled a rabbit and, with one simple turn, became my father, Ramesh. He was my friend till I was 7 years old and realised that he bore a remarkable resemblance to my own father...

My parents realized that I was a messed-up kid when my imaginary friend died.

I actually couldn't stand her at all. But I still cried when she died.

When i was about 8 or 9, i told my sister who was about 5 or 6, that there was a girl who lived in England, but she would visit our nieghbors and come over to our house, so i would tell my sister that i had to go to the bathroom, but i would really change clothes and my hair and come out and talk with a British accent and pretend i was "Amanda" the girl from England! My sister believed it until i told her when she was about 11!

When I was around six and my sister was 8, we both had imaginary friends (as I recall, they were friends.) My sister's was named Charlotte, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and mine was named Lucy, with brown hair and blue eyes. I remember I would go into the bathroom, and there was mirrors across from it, and I would wonder why she wasn't with me in my reflection...I eventually convinced myself that she was staying inside the bedroom for my privacy. I don't remember what happened to Charlotte, but I eventually got tired of Lucy, and on her birthday (March 16) I decided that she was going to her Grandma's house. I kept waiting for her to come back, but she never did- my sister would ask me periodically, "When is Lucy coming back?" and I would say, "She wants to stay a little longer."

When I was about... six I had an abusive imaginary friend. At first I created him because I was lonely, and almost nobody ever wanted to play with me. Somehow, maybe just because I was so convinced no one would ever like me, I came up with Rebock (yes like the shoe). He was thirteen and now reminds me of what an older brother is like. He told me these amazingly scary stories and I had nightmares every night. He made me punch myself (I was able to control myself enough to make it soft.. :) ) and he even pushed me into a pool once! I literally almost drowned....

It took me a while, but I finally got around to getting rid of rebock. I took my boy neighbor/new friend's toy gun and I shot him. 28 times! Then as I looked upon his 'dying body' he aske "why?" (and I literally remember hearing this) and I just laughed...

no I did not grow into a disturbed psycho... or anyway, that's what my parents tell me for comfort...

I actully have many imaginary friends, but my favorite is deffently Lilly. I know she isn't real, but I still love her. She is about 5 inches tall. Lilly has a HUGE head that looks just like mine, and has a stick body. She lives in my head. She acts very weird sometimes, but that is why I love Lilly!

When i was little, i was always thought i had 2 b cute and shy for people to like me, but no-one ever talked to me. So i drew a potatoe man under the kitchen table. he was my best friend. It took me forever to realise he wasnt real, though i have a clear memory of him sitting on my bed with me playing barbies and going for a walk. Then one day he never came back.

annonomous or however u spell it

when i was about 5, i didn't have many friends.
so i made one up. his name was sonic. (saw a videogame with his name + picture) he looks exactly like what he does now (ex. Sonic advunture battle 2) so i had him for a couple of years until 4th grade. last christmas (2005) igot Sonic Heroes and he came back only when i played the game on my gamecube. now that the disk broke thanks to a certian sister, my only memory of him is the instruction manuel :;(

When i was about 6, i used to want a dog. My parents didn't approve, so i decided i'd prove them wrong and buy an imaginary Westie. I walked around all day with my fists clenched, holding his lead. When i needed to use my hands, i'd tie the imaginary lead to a tree or chair! I was walking back from school wheni realised i'd forgotten about my doggy and had left him tied to a chair at school. I was well upset and wanted to go back and fetch him.. :(

When I was 4, I had two imaginary friends. One was named Neenee, who was a blue person and the other was Doodee, who was a bumble bee.

I used to believe that my favorite animal characters from the books about the Moomins were my invisible friends and used to keep a space for them all in my bed. I slept squeeezed on the wall in order to make them feel comfortable.

When I was like eight I had an imaginary friend named Emily Lee. She was blonde and she loved to swim. One day, I brought her to the pool and she jumped off the top to the high dive. Before she hit the water, she vanished into thin air. So for like three years after that I heard her voice when I went underwater.
