i used to believe jaws lived under my bed.
Once when I was really young I had a shower with my cousin. Well, the pipe had sort of broken that leads from the shower box to the head, and the head sort of started to 'wiggle' around and from then on I was scared of showers. I was cured of this fear a few years ago.
We have a table in the living room and my mom used to like to keep the legs on pieces of tape that were on the floor. I thought that if I moved the table off the tape, monkeys could jump out of all the drawers and eat me.

I used to believe that every time anyone washed their hands or turned the water on in the bathroom sink, the water was pouring into the small drawer that was under the sink. I had no idea that what was REALLY in that drawer was spare toilet paper! I was afraid that one day, the drawer wouldn't be able to hold all the water and the door would bust off and the water would burst out and my house would flood.

I used to believe that the outlets in the wall were really like "doggie doors" to ants because I figured those were the only things small enough to fit in there. I imagined this huge ant kingdom crawling around my house in the walls, I wanted to go there so badly so I put my finger in the outlet and quickly realized they carried electricity and not ants...ouch!
Until the age of 4, I would commonly ask my parents to put the "hands" on the vcr player to pause it. How are you suppposed to know the difference between "pause" and "paws" at that age?!
I used to belive that E.T. lived under my bed. (You know, from the movie.) For as long as I had that bed, I couldn't sleep on the side that I saw him on.
When I was about 6 I used to beilieve that when I went to bed if I had any part of my body (apart from my head) out of the duvet, they would be taken off during the night! Lost a lot of sleep over that!
When I was little I used to believe that crocodiles lived underneath my bed. I used to have re-occuring dreams of being pulled out of my bed and not being able to get up off the floor and so just lay waiting for the crocodiles to get me! I always used to jump onto my bed from about a metre away just in case!
I use to believe that my basement was filled with water halfway up the stairs with elephants waiting to catch me if I dared open the basement door(which my mother told us not to).
For some reason I thought the agitator of a washing machine was properly called "a donkey". I developed my own theory to explain this. I thought that in the days before electricity, people would run their washers by having a donkey run 'round the machine in circles and generate power. Then, the agitator in a modern machine was named in honor of the faithful clothes washing donkeys of old.
