When my brothers and I were little, we shared a room. We also believed that a vampire lived under MY bed, which was the lowest bunk bed. We didn't want to go to sleep, so my mom said "Don't come in the bathroom, because I am making Monster Spray, and it is a secret recipe, so don't come in." She mad e some spray out of water and other stuff, I dunno what.And it was brownish. But hey, at least we thought it worked.

when I was little, I watched a scary vampire movie, and for awhile, i would never turn my head to the side so that a vampire doesn't come and bite my neck. Also, once when my dad came to tuck me in, i was about 6, I asked him if he turned into a vampire at night and suck my blood. I don't know where that came from!

When I was five, my much older brother was babysitting me and we watched a scary vampire movie together. After that night, and for a decade more, I slept with the covers right up to my chin, tightly guarding my neck from vampires that would come and suck my blood when I fell asleep. I went to bed that way, and somehow I woke up in exactly the same stiff position every morning.

When I was very small, I was terrifed of vampires coming and attacking me when I was asleep, and the only way to stop them, was to pull the covers up to my eyes, and repeat, 'Go Away, Vampires' in my head, over and over again, until I fell asleep. Obviously, this would result in a forcefiled being put around mine and my family's beds, meaning the vampire would burn his hands if he tried to lift up the covers to bite my neck. Basic science. :)

I still to this day(11 years old) think that once I turn out a ight, an invisible vampire or ghost appears and follows me around the house. We have a large staircase and I go to bed latest so I have to turn out the lights. I turn out the light and pund up the stairs, often resulting in loss of breath. And my parents room is under the stairs partly so I get many complaints about that.

For me to know, not for you to find out

When I was younger, I watched some movie about vampires (possibly "Once Bitten"), they said something like "Drinking the blood of a virgin will keep you young" or something like that. So, for a while, I thought that the word "virgin" had something to do with vampires!

Certain Gypsies believe that watermelons will turn into vampires if they are kept for too long.

However, they aren't afraid of these vampires, as they don't have any teeth.

ever since i was little i've been deathly scared of the dark, so i used to think if i had my blanket over my body at all times it was some type of sheild from vampires and witches

When I was younger, I always hid under my blankets the whole night because I beleaved in Vampires...And I also slept on the other side of the bed farthest to the wall because I beleaved monsters where down there because it was so cold..

I used to believe that if I went to sleep without my neck covered, vampires would suck my blood in the night.

My brother and I shared a room when we were kids, and both of us were afraid of vampires (specifically, Dracula). We decided that if we slept not only under the blankets, but with a teddy bear (or other stuffed animal) across our necks, Dracula could not bite us.

After telling a vampire story, my uncle explained to me that they bite you on the neck, illistrating by placing 2 fingers on the left side of his neck. I knew vampires were make-believe, but just in case, I always slept on my left side; & just in case they might go for the right side of the neck, I always pulled the sheet up over my neck. I was in my early 30s before I could sleep without something covering my neck; I still sleep on my left side!

When I was 7 I saw a vampire movie, which led to my wearing a winter scarf tied around my throat every night so I wouldn't get bitten in my sleep. I waited until my parents shut off my light and I was alone, and tied that sucker on! It's a wonder I never strangled myself!

I used to believe in vampires, and was afraid that they were going to suck my blood while I was sleeping. I figured out a way to keep this from happening! I pulled the blanket up and made sure it covered up my neck a lot. I still to this day sleep with the covers up on my neck and I'm almost 30! :)

Up until I was around 10 i used to have nightmares about vampires i used to believe that if i hid my entire body and head under the blankets they wouldnt be able to see me so i would be safe
