I used to believe, like any other child, that there were monsters under my bed, except I believed that they were just misunderstood and I could make friends with them if I tried. So I would persistently stay awake at night and try to hear the monsters coming so I could say hello.

i used to think that if my eyes were still open when the light was turned off to go to sleep, i would be able to see monsters. i always tried to fall asleep facing a wall, just in case, and i still do to this day!
i used to believe that nazis lived in my walls. my sister would always talk to me through them. i was horrified that she would wake them up and they would kill us in our sleep
Once, after I had been reading a book about aircraft from the second world war, I convinced myself that the reason that my bedroom ceiling dipped a bit in the middle was that there was a second world war bomb between it and the floor above. I told my parents but they didn't believe me.
You know how if you look at a lightbulb, and then look away and blink a bit, you see a kind of after-image of the filament. If I did this I used to think that I was seeing "bugs".
Once I did this when I was staying with my aunt. When I saw the "bugs", I went and told my aunt that there were bugs everywhere. She went to look but didn't see any bugs, and she wondered what I was on about...
When I was a child we had the weight from the pendulum of a grandfather clock in an upstairs cupboard, and my two elder sisters told me it was a bomb and to be very careful with it.
I told all my friends and they all came to look at the 'bomb' but did not believe it. I called my sisters to verify my story, at which time they decided to tell the truth. Public humiliation!
When I was a child I was convinced that there were very large and angry monsters under my bed but they could only come out if the lights were off and they could only get me if my feet were touching the ground. I was fine all day until it came time for bed, where I would have to turn off the lights and walk across the room to the bed. I was sure the monsters would get me during this brief time of darkness, so I devised all sorts of ways to get from the light switch to the bed without touching the floor. I normally just jumped to the bed but when my bed was moved farther away I would place an object in the middle, climb on that and then jump to the bed (it was usually a small step ladder). Sometimes I would climb on my dresser and nightstand to avoid touching the floor. To this day I still don't like crossing a dark room so I turn on a light next to the bed, turn off the main lights and then get into bed and shut off the light within reach.

I first grew up in a house with a small patio. In the corner was a small trapdoor that went under the patio. I was terrified - I thought it was a bottomless pit. I never did get to see what was down there before we moved.

When I was little, I was scared of drain holes in the bath-tub. I thought I would get sucked down them and die.
I use to always believe that my reflection wasn't my own.I believed that any pictures of me, weren't really me either. I thought the whole world was keeping me from really seeing myself.So I got mad when ever someone said you have such nice red hair and green eyes, cause I seriously thought that that wasn't what I looked like.It took quite sometime for my family to get me to believe!lol!

i used to believe that in the hole in bath lives monster who suckes out water out of it. I was afraid that this creature can suck out also me or catch my foot.
When I was 3 or 4 years old my family decided to move to a new house. As we were checking out someone else's house we were thinking of buying, I got really nervous. They obviously still had all their belongings in there, and I thought that all that stuff would become ours if we bought the house. When we got to their kids room, my parents said "This is going to be your room, Mark". I was scared because it was a girl's room and I thought I would have to have all that girlie stuff and wear girl's clothes.
when i was younger, if i woke up in the night i would always run to my parents room..along the way was the heater/air conditioner and if it was running as i went by i thought there was an old man that lived inside and was screaming so i would run by as fast and quietly as i could so he wouldn't be able to kill me

When I was younger I thought that I would get sucked down the bathtub drain and one night I was having a bath at my grandma's house and my uncle, not know about my fear, unplugged the bathtub drain. I was screaming and screaming...lol
