When I was little my mom told me that if you look into a microwave when it was on, you would grow a third eye in the middle of your head. I tried to tell myself she was joking, but to this day I still don't look for too long into the microwave. The sad part is that I'm 22.

When i was about 4 i used to believe that when my sister pulled out her bed from under mine(we have a ppull out bed that makes more space)that she put alligators under my bed and then she scare me and say don't look under that bed or the alligators will get your nose. I'd cry and to this day on she still tries to scare me by scratching, hooing, and banging on the wall i open the door and she runs.
when i was young my mum always used to tell me 'close the door in case a draught gets in' only i thought she said 'close the door in case a giraffe gets in', and i always used to run and close it because i was so scared of the giraffe. I also genuinely beleived the 3 bears of goldilocks story lived in my garden, and that when my dad took my nose he really had it.
my great grandma, when she visited us, would tell me a story each night when i was little. she told me that there was a unicorn in my closet waiting for me to find it. i used to search my closet everyday for the unicorn, but i never found it. but i still believed it was there. it wasnt till i moved that i realised there wasnt a unicorn in my closet.

I used to believe that you had to get out of the bath before the plug was taken out. Otherwise you'd go down the drain, too. And that horrible suction noise was, in fact, the monster at the other end whowas going to eat you
When i was 6, I thought everyone took a bath with a bathing suit on, and I was the only weird one who bathed naked. I remember fighting with my mom before a bath, trying to convince her that I should be wearing my bathing suit. Needless to say, she let me wear my favorite lime green bikini that one time.
I used to believe that if i stared at my reflection in the mirror for long enough that the "boy" in it would jump out and throw me into a mirror world, i would then have to wait untill he was bored before i could get out!!
When I was only 4 and my brother 7, my brother told me that the boogie man, an evil clown, goosebumps monsters, indiana jones, and michael jackson lived under my bed. I was so scared that I slept on my couch instead of the bed until I was in 2nd grade!
i used to believe that there were mini aliens with machine guns that lived in the basement (i know, wieerd!!) but were invisible until you turned your back. i used to run like hell up the basement stairs!
Myself, my brother and all of our friends were under the impression that a monster dubbed "Mothman" for his giant-mothlike appearance and ability to fly - lived in our basement.

I used to believe that if my feet weren't covered by the blanket at night that a monster would come and eat my feet off and I would die.
When I was about 7, My family and I went on a family holiday to Florida. On an outing to Universal Studies there was like an i-max thing (3d glasses etc) which was some M.Jackson video where he threw doves and they came out the screen... Whilst queing you had to pass the "bates motel" from psycho, and we were all shown a clip from the film.. the shower stabbing scene. Needless to say i was terrified, and for the next 3/4 years everytime i went into the bathroom i had to pull back the shower curtain to check nothing was there!I lived in abject fear when sat on that toilet just staring at the curtain praying it wouldnt move...
...im ok now!
when i was little, i believed there were invisible monsters under my bed. the only way they would not eat me if i was covered with a blanket. to this day i still sleep completely covered up.
When we were kids, my mother would tell us that if we lefts our galoshes on in the house we would go blind. Now I realise that she probably wanted to be sure we wouldn't track up the house.
When I was little I used to believe that when I went to bed someone would come and watch me so I used to wrap my head and face up in my blanket because I figured if I cant see them, they cant see me :S
I used to believe that one day when I would be taking a shower that my bathroom would, when I wasnt looking, detatch itself from my house and fly away with me in it still. I had to leave the door open while I showered and check every 5 minutes or so to make sure it was still attached to the house
when i was like three i didn't believe there was monster under my bed...I just complained to my Mom about "The Yucky Guy in my room" she used to pick up the phone and act like she was calling the "Yucky Guy"'s mom to tell on him, then I was ok!
