When my great grandpa died I saw him in his casket and I thought that he was going to wake up and be a vampire.

My brother once told me a story about vampires and how they would sneak into your room at night and bite you on your neck. Ever since then, I always made sure I had the sheets were pulled up to my chin so the vampire couldn't see my neck to bite it.

When I was about 7 years old, it was late at night and my mom told me about vampires. She told me that if I wasn't in bed and asleep by 12 midnight that they would come and bite my neck and take me away.

I don't believe about the coming at midnight anymore, as I'm older now and have stayed up past midnight. But I'm still scared of them.

I used to think that I had to keep thecovers up under my chin or a vampire would come and suck my blood. I still sleep with my covers by my neck.

i used to believe, in 3rd grade, that one of the priests at my catholic grade school was a vampire.
his two front canine teeth were very pointy and when he was lecturing i was afraid he would try to kill us so i would plan my escape into the coatroom.

I used to believe... that vampires would not get people with last names that began with G, only those whoses names began with an X, Y, or Z. Also, that if they couldn't see my neck, they wouldn't get me

When I was five I got my own room after having to share with my younger sisters since they were born. Although I liked it at first, after a few weeks I became more and more afraid of of the vampire that lived on top of the cupboard and never wanted to go to sleep in case I wouldn't wake up the next morning. After a few months a neighbour gave us one of those sets of bunk beds that has cupboards and drawers where the bottom bunk should be, when her kid had outgrown it, but I was too scared to sleep in it because that would mean that the vampire would have to sleep in my bed because if I was sleeping on top of the wardrobe.

confused and afraid

When I was in First Grade,I had buckteeth and my friends thought I was a 'Vampire'.I felt so hated until they told me I was a "Vampire" XD

I am very proud of myself for having a very strong scary belief and actually reasoning myself out of it when I was about 7. My older sister and I used to stay up and watch scary movies (our parent s didn't know) and she liked ones about vampires. Well, there was a cemetary really close to our house so every time we did this I would lie awake for hours just terrified that the vampires would get up from the cemetary and come and get me. I used to make my sister get in bed with me and sleep on the outside so the vampires would get her first and maybe I would have time to run away. This was a real fear. Then suddenly it hit me one night, "How would the vampires KNOW I had watched a scary movie that night? They couldn't see in our house." So there was no reason to be more scared that night than any other night, and actually I never thought about the cemetary unless I had watched a scary movie. So I just figured the vampires were not going to come and it was safe and I could go to sleep and be ok. This logic actually worked for me. I mean, how would they know?

When I was little I believed that vampires lived under the carpet on the stairs, and that you had to be careful when you walked up and down the stairs because if you stepped on the wrong spot, your leg would slide into their mouths and they'd eat you.

I used to believe that as soon as my mum turned off the lights for me to go to sleep that the vampires could come. Only, I thought that the vampires couldn't kill you if they couldn't see your neck. To this day I sleep with the sheets right up under my chin. Now it's habit, before, I was protecting myself.

I too use to sleep with my blankets up around my neck so as vampires couldnt come and bit emy neck whilst i slept. This continued till i was 12years old when i went to see bram stoker's dracula at the cinema... ever since then my fears disapeared and i now wish one would come and bite me!!

I used to be scared that a vampire would bite my neck in the night so I put all these cushions and blankets over my neck to protect myself from the vampires.

Stay back, I have a blanket!

when i was about in primary school i bit my tongue and i swalloed blood. i told it to myfriend and she said tome "great now you r gonna turn to a vampire. who am i supposed to play with?" .i actually believed her and i spent the next night watching my teeth with a mirror, locked in my room so if i actually turned into a vampire i wouldn't bite my family...

When I was little I believed that after the curtains had been closed when I went to bed, that I should NEVER look out of them until the morning because on the other side there would be a vampire hovering at the window trying to get in. I had to make sure they had been closed really tight so there was no space at all. It was all very scary.

i used to thought that vampires would really come out to bite people at night. and would always sleep with my blanket around my neck, hoping to protect it from them.

delphine

I used to believe that if you slept with the covers covering your neck, vampires couldn't bite you.

When I was 7 my cousins told me that vampires lived in Albany, which is the capital state of NY. Since we live in NYC I thought they would one day come and get me, so I slept with a shirt tied around my neck for years.I grew out of this fear around the age of 12. Thanks Guys!
