I always have a cup of water on my bedside table. I usually leave it there for days before changing the cup. well when I was youger, I would wonder why the water would disappear and concluded that a witch would come during the day and drink my water. I Did NOT want to believe she would come when I was in bed, so her comming at night was out of the question. Although I was still scared of the idea. Now I know theres no witch drinking my water, its just either evaporated or I drank it and forgot.
What scares me now are mirrors. I cannot look at a mirror at night, and I'm 19! although I have to say I still am a kid at heart ( I amuse myself by talking to animals)

when i was like 6, i used to think that if i coughed or made any noise, a witch would get me from under my bed.

If you don't smash egg shells witches use them as boats.

When I was about 5 I used to believe that there were witches in my window at night. When I would lay in my bed I would put my hand over my forehead which would block my view of the window in my room. One night my mom asked my why I always slept like that and I told her it was because the witches were in my window.

When I was five, I used to believe that on some nights a wicked witch would come upto my house and peck on my window outside my bedroom with her index finger, but never enter the house fortunately. I got that idea from some picture story books that were read to me, where a child that was in bed on a windy night thought that a wicked witch was tapping on his window, but as it turned out, it was just the branches of a tree hitting the window. I did not understand the second part of that story and I still believed that there were witches around even though my my tried to explain it. Fortunately, I got over the fear of witches within two years.

When I was in junior high school (about 9 years ago) I believed that I could do magic. I thought that I could create my own sort of "witchcraft" using all kinds of weird things and mixing them together and putting together foolish rituals. I even believed that because of me the boy I liked broke up with his girlfriend because of my "spell". How foolish.

Not Jesus II's Mamma

When I was eleven I watched the movie Kiki's Delivery Service and I became convinced that I could learn how to fly a broom. I didn't want my mom to see me trying and ridicule me so when she wasn't looking I would go look for the broom and attempt to fly on it. It never worked and I even tried looking on the Internet for instructions on how to fly a broom (and failed). After a while it became harder to find the broom and attempt to fly on it without my mom or dad seeing so I gave up. A tiny part of me probably still carries that belief but I just don't have the time to try it anymore.

there was a creepy old polish woman who used to live two houses down from me when i was little.
me and my next door neighbour believed she was a witch and you had to hold your breath as you walked past because if you breathed the same air as she had then you would die.

when i was little my mom told me every time we went to my uncle jerry's house that if me and my cousin lauren would go in the back room that mini-haha [a witch that would pull your hair and pull your toes when you sleep] would come and get us. my cousin was 8 and i was 4 and to this day i still wish my mom would have never told me thaT

Mini-Haha

I used to think that I would get my Hogwarts letter in the July after I turned eleven. I would have dreams about me flying broomsticks to Hogwarts and whenever I got there the door would be locked or I'd wake up or something. I always thought i'd meet Emma Watson and we'd be best friends. I cried on August first and I hadn't gotten my letter.

My parents always told us that the witches came out when the sky turned pink in the evening. This was their way of making sure we made it home before dark. (I tell my kids the same thing!)

Hallie

My friend Annie and i were playing in my room nad we wanted to scare my bro so we were al under the covers and we told him there was a witch at the end of the bed. Annie swore she saw it and I was more scared than my brother. To this day, I can't sleep with anything hanging over the egde, my fear gets worse for a week after a i watch a scary movie."IT" , "The Ring", and "Phsyco" still really get to me!

i used to believe that when you cut your nails at night during a full moon...a witch will come out...and get you and the next day when you wake up your nails are thick and long.

Witch

When my cousin and I were in second grade, she told me that we were witches, and for about a year we believed that we were really long-lost sisters from another planet.

When I was little, my grandma told me that 1:00 am was witches hour. If I wasn't asleep, the witches and ghosts would come out and 'get' me. I had a nightmare that night. I was locked in the bathroom and witches were pounding on the door (it didn't have a lock) trying to get in.

Riley

At a sleepover me, my sister and my two friends played 'white witch' in the dark while my mom was in the kitchen. We closed our eyes and said white witch three time and then she (the white witch) would appear on one of our faces.

After we said it three times my friends and my sister started screaming that she was on my face so I took off, crawling on the carpet and jumped into the kitchen... scaring my mother half to death. They, and my mom believed they saw the 'white witch'

Scary Isha

When i was younger i used to do things really weird! I used to say something and then it would come true! Because of this i believe i was magical or that i was a witch! If people used to say thing like it isnt true i used to say i would put a spell on them! Then soon in about a couple of days they were ill or something bad happened to them! Some little kid went and told the teacher on me and she spoke to me after school! She said if i didnt stop telling people i was a witch she would place a spell on me and it wouldnt be a nice one! I NEVER said anything about being a witch again!!!!!!!

Popsickles

When I was very young, I believed that witches lived in my mattress and that they would poke me all over my body. (I believed this so much, I could actually feel them poking me.)
