at home

I used to believe that there was a square of quicksand on the floor at the end of my bed. So every morning, I would go to the end of my bed and then jump off making sure to get over it safely.

i used to believe (and still do) that if you dont stay under the covers in the dark "the night things" can get you, not a single part of you can be out of the covers. i wouldnt (and wont) go anywhere dark or in shadows when its dark at night. i hear the night things and i see them. if you've ever seen Fear of the Dark then you know what im talking about but im really scared of it.

i use to belive dat if u put ur white socks and red socks in one cabinet they would turn pink!!!

when i was a kid my friend emma told me about mirror world, it was a place where you jumped through you mirror you would travel and come to the most amazing land. gullable me i believed her! and one night when she was at mine she told me this day was the mirror opening day so i ran up to the mirror and tried to dive through it! i ended up feeling stupid for beleiving such a thing and with a bumpy head

I used to believe there was monster (he looked rather like a Yowie) living in the plumbing who would suck out all the water when you pulled the plug, that's why there were all those slurping noises. My sister told me if you sat in the bath while it was draining, he would eat you too!!

when i was little my dad would hold the end of my blanket, then wave it in the air before letting it settle down on top of me. i honestly believed until i was about 8 that if i held on, i would go waving in the air too.

My mom has a light switch in her bedroom that doesn't work. When I was a child, I believed that it you accidentaly flick the switch, and don't get it back to normal in 10 seconds, that our whole hose would blast into outerspace and have aliens fight over it. I knew I shouldn't have watched Star Wars...

I used to think that there was an octopus living underneath my bathtub and if I touched the drain, it would come up and drag me down with it.

i use to belive that there was a crazy clown under neath my bed. so every night before going to bed i made soure the hall light was on and my night light was on. i would allso make shoure i had my trusty teadybear. now i relize how stupit and crazy i was.

When I was little my older sister read me this story about an old lady that lived under the third step of the basement stairway and when you walked on the third step she would grab your foot to freak you out. So for about two years I would always skip the thrid step as I went down and up the stairs.

For some reason, I used to think that there was always a murderer in the tub behind the shower curtain, waiting to kill me as I peed at night. Even now, I still leave the shower curtain pulled back.

Once before I fell asleep, I dropped one of my dolls. I didn't realize it had fallen off and I thought my mattress had sucked it in. I was so scared to drop any of my dolls ever again. At times, I was sure the mattress would swallow me too if I got in when the lights were out.

I have a serious case of arachnophobia, so whenever I took a shower, I was always afraid that giant spiders would crawl up out of the drain and eat me alive. Even now, I still stare at the drain and stand as far away from it as I possibly can.

i used to believe that there were monsters under my bed that once i had gone to bed and i was lying there they would jump out and eat sleeping children so i always used to pretend that i was dead and lie really still so they wouldnt take me away!What made it even worse was that whenever I opened my eyes to see if i could see the monsters, i could see my dressing gown hangning up and i would think that they were actually there!

Even now i sometimes scare myself with the idea!

I was play in my room on the shaggy carpeting and I got up to turn on or off a light and received a mild static electric shock from the light switch. From that point on I was convinced that little men lived inside the light switches and would come out and poke you with a pin (I suppose I thought the shock felt a bit like a pin prick). I didn't touch the lights for quite awhile, prefering to live in the dark than risk being pricked again!

i used to think if i sang into the drain/hole thing at the top of the bath, people would hear me out of the pipes sticking outside on the wall of our house and listen to me
