at home

I used to believe that the Secret 7 and Famous 5 really did exist (as well as the characters from Brambley Hedge) and lived in the bottom of my garden. I don't know quite how I thought they survived down there but we did have a shed and I was sure that they had their meetings in it.

ok i was the youngest of four enough said right their. well i looked up to my older sisters n brother. they used to scare me all the time with the lil white dog they would always say oh michelle dont put ur feet down or the lil white dog will eat u. this went on from when i was 3 to the time i was 7. nice brother and sister huh

I used to believe that I left an invisible string trailing behind me everywhere I walked, and I didn't like for it to get tangled. Whenever I walked around a chair or table, I'd be careful to walk around it the opposite direction before leaving the room so that my string wouldn't get wrapped around it and trip me later!

My mother and I have dark hair. When my sister was a toddler she had blonde hair. At this same time, my father was starting to go grey so he had salt-and-pepper hair.

My hairbrush and my mother's hairbrush had standard plastic bristles, which were black in colour. My sister had a baby hairbrush with pale bristles, and my father had a boar bristle hairbrush with some dark and some light bristles.

As a result, I thought that everyone had to have a hairbrush with bristles the same colour as their hair.

after watching Poltergist i used to believe, and still somewhat do, that the relfection in the mirror isn't just a reflection but another person in another demantion.

when I was 7, I used to believe that if you opened your eyes at night, you would see a little man peek out from under your bed. then he'd grab you and pull you under. I still sleep with my eyes closed facing the wall.

I used to believe that a warewolf lived under my bed and in the toilet under the stairs. I had to run as fast as i could up the stairs and jump on to my bed, while watching out for the warewolfs claws. I wouldn't go to the toilet at night incase the warewolf came out from under the bed.

I used to think that there were aliens living in the bathroom fan that would look down into the room. I think I heard a weird clicking sound one day that sparked this belief.

when i was younger my mum used to tell me that i shouldnt drink the water from the taps in the bathrooms because it was 'spiders water'. She explained that a little group of spiders had a factory in the sink and that they processed the water so if i drank any of it i would get ill. i used to be terrified of brushing my teeth with the water! :-(

I was about 5-6 years old when I spent the night at an older friend's house. She told me that there were fingernails under the bed that would come out and get me if any body part (like your foot or hand) were hanging over the side of the bed.

This fact was confirmed the following morning while we were making the bed...her cat - hiding under the bed - scratched my foot. I about jumped out of my skin. For years I had to sleep squarely in the middle of the bed.

I used to believe that everyone had invisible strings tied to them. If you didn't leave a room through the same door you entered it, your string would wrap around the house and get tangled. Eventually, you'd get so tangled up that you couldn't go anywhere.

When I was little I always went to my grandma's house while my mom was at work. My grandma has this 'candy drawer' in her kitchen and she would always have candy in there. Sometimes I would sneak into the kitchen and grab a couple Hershey Kisses and put them in the garbage can so the garbage man could have some candy too! I also poured pop into there...incase he was also thirsty.

When I was 2 or 3, and still in a crib, I saw little pink&purple(my fav.colors then) dots all around me, and I thought they were little things protecting me. I finally realized at age 11 that it was just of the lighting in my room.

I used to babysit two little girls, ages 4 and 5. One night they were brushing their teeth, and after spitting toothpaste in the sink the younger one looked up at me and said, "Is that bird poop?"

when i was young my parents had this wall full of mirror tiles in their bedroom and me and my sister used to wonder what was behind there and after alot of thinking we decided there were cupcakes and chocolate that our parents were hiding from us and then a mirror tile fell off a couple years later and there was just a wall so we were like darn.

I was a very messy child. Whenever my parents would tell me to clean my room (which was extremely often), like so many other kids I would just shove everything under the bed. Well, eventually I'd want something back that I'd stuck under there. For some reason, whenever I went looking for that particular object, I could never find it, no matter what. So I soon developed the belief that there was a hole under my bed controlled by leprechuans, who kept stealing my stuff and throwing it down this hole in a desperate attempt to make me cry. Needless to say, it worked.
