When I was smaller, I forced my mother to come up to the bathroom with me whenever I needed to go. This was because I was convinced there was a witch living down the toilet.

Also, when I flushed, I felt I had to run from the room very fast or else the water-men would rise out of the toilet and get me.

when i was about 7, i used to be terrified of sitting on the toilet because i thought the teenage mutant hero turtles would climb up from their home in the sewers and see my bum!

when i was little(about 5), i was petrified of the toilet. i was scared when i flushed it would grow teeth and eat me up. i would hold it all day to not have to go in the big scary toilet at my kindergarden. it got so bad that i peed myself once bcuz i couldnt help it. in my memory the teacher was pissed, but my mom says shes was fine....

Thanks to some movie, Ghoulies, I think it was. I believed that if you didn't get out of the bathroom before the toilet finished flushing that you would get sucked in. Or a monster would grab your rear if you didn't get off the toilet before it was done flushing.

my moms old fish died and she tried to flush it down the toilet but it was too big and its head was sticking out
i went to go to use the bathroom (i guess i had only been using hte toilet for a few months) and i saw that and for years i thought there were big snake things in the toilets and they would come and bit your butt when you were going to the bathroom
so untill i was about 7or 8 i would sit as far as possible to the edge of the toilet so that they couldnt bite my butt

I had the wierdest fear of flushing toilets in public bathrooms. There was no reason really.. but the noise scared me so I would flush and then try to run out by the sink where it was "safe" before the flushing noise gt really loud.

I used to think that there was a monster in the toilet and in ate your poo and drank your pee. The toilet paper was a napkin for the monster.

when i was 4 i used to think that when you flushed the toilet a monster would pop out, so i would leave the door open and when it flushed i would run away so the monster wouldn't get me!

When I was little I thought that if I flushed the toilet Jaws would come out of it and bite me!

Jennifer

I used ti believe there were little tiny bron monsters waiting in the toilet for me to poop so they could eat it. And the mommy monster had to hold back the baby monster from my butt while it was half way out (which made me feek much better) :)

When i was little I used to have my sister go to the toilet with me because i thought that a volcano or a snake might pop out of the toilet.

I used to believe that people lived inside the pit of outhouses and that at night they would drag kids inside. I refused to poo on camping trips unless they had flush toilets until I was 9. Thanks to my brother for that fear!

i think that when u go 2 the bathroom someone or something would come and kill me so when i flush the toilet i run out and wash my hands in our kitchen even when sitting there i think that something is going 2 come out of the toilet and grab me i am now 13 and still afraid of it by the way i have watched candyman a little to much

ashley

after i saw the movie "it" (when i was 8) i was always scared a clown was gonna come up and attack you while u were on the toilet, but i also thought if u took a poop, he wouldnt attack so everytime i used the bathroom i hoped i'd have to poop so the evil clown wouldn't try to eat my butt

I used to think that at skool, when someone flushed the toilet, if you took a drink from the drinking fountain than you were drinking their wastes.

I like the yellow water

When I was little I used to think that when you were going to the washroom little fuzzy ball type things with mouths, that lived in the sewers, would come and either bite my butt or drag me into the pipes and possibly torture me. Oh an with outhouses I always belived that there was a man sitting on a swing in the hole, which sometimes I am still scared of expecially after that scene in Schindler's(SP) list where thekids are hiding and jump into the outhouse.

What I remember is that...when I was little, my sister told me scary stories of things set in a bathroom. There was one story about this huge evil mouth coming out of the toilet. SO when I had to potty, I pottied as fast as I can. Then I ran out of the bathroom.

Jonathan Yun

In elementary school I thought there was some terrible monster in the toilet that came was released when you flushed so I would race out the door as soon as I was done so the monster wouldn't get me.

The Idiot

I always thoght that when you flush the water in the tiolet u had to drink again. So i never flushed.
I was only 6!!!

Lilly

I used to believe that flushing the toilet in the middle of the night would alert any nearby lurking monsters of my location. But, if I couldn't hear it then they couldn't hear it, so I would plug my ears and flush with my elbow.
