at home

I once (like 7-11) believed that there were two monsters under my bed, they were scary but dumb. My bed had a good crawling space underneath it so ANYTHING could fit under there. Anyways, those two monsters only went under my bed at night, so every bedtime I ran and *~JUMP~*ed onto my bed so as the monsters wouldn't grab my ankles.

Also, I made up arguments between the two monsters so they would be too distracted to see me. Silly me. Those days are over now!

When I was young, I had the classic "Monster in the Closet" scare. I had it for a while, until after one night, my Mom came in, checked inside my closet, and came out with a handfull of cookies. She told me it was the Cookie Monster! After that, I would always act scared just to see if I would get any more cookies.

When I was 3 or so, I used to be afraid of the dust motes that you can see in the moonlight. I don't remember much of this, but I'd apparently wake my mom with bloodcurdling screams of "THE SPECK OF DUST IS GINNA GET ME!!!" and my mom would have to "beat up" the specks before I could go to sleep.

Thanks to a mix of the series V and an Star Wars action figure (that I still have!), I used to believe that each night an alien with tentacles hanging from his mouth would appear next to my bed. I would lie on my stomach and bend my knees so my feet were up, which would create a bulge in my sheets that was actually supposed to be an alien spy that was reporting on what I'd been up to. The tentacle-mouth alien would talk further with the spy, not knowing the spy was really me.

When I was young I always kept carefull watch when I went to bed, because "the monsters" could get to you if you weren't looking. If I wanted to sleep on my side I had to build a baricade of stuffed animals to protect my back.

at some point (i don't know when) i heard about asbestos in old office buildings. at some other point, i saw flocked christmas trees... my obvious conclusion was that flocked christmas trees were covered in asbestos. i avoided them and thought people who were willing to so sacrifice their health just to have a fluffy tree quite dumb. eventually i realized that this couldn't be true, but i still don't like them and avoid them.

When I was about 5, I saw a Chunkie movie. My mom loved china dolls, so my room had a collection of them. I wouldn't go to sleep because I was scared my dolls would come alive and try to kill me. The funny thing is, that I though the monster under my bed was jack, from the night before christmas and that he fought the dolls when I was asleep to protect me....

My favorite show when I was little was 'REN n STIMPY' Well... they had this show where an OX would come out of the toilet for like Christmas time or something like that. I used to think it was sooo weird and I was also afraid of the little OX thing. So whenever I would go to the bathroom and right when I was done I would wash my hands and flush the toilet and run out cause I was scared the OX was gunna get me!! :(

When I was little my friend and I thought that my bedroom closet was a time machine. We would go in there and spin around and come out and be all dizzy. We would then walk around my house and look for things from the past. We would say my cat was a saber tooth tiger.

In the back of my closet, there was a piece of wood that looked like a door-although it didn't open!I thought that there was a secret tunnel behind it that led to another world! Earlier on in my childhood, I thought that there were monsters behind there just plotting against me and they would one night come out and eat me!

Growing up in Southern Louisiana my siblings, cousins, and I always heard stories about different types of animals that would come get you if you wouldn't go to sleep (mostly at my grandpas). well i have a cousin who is 6 months younger than me and we would always wake up the other one if we had to go to the bathrrom or somethin so that the "betiis" (pronounced bay-ties) wouldn't come get us!

When I was little i used to run and jump on my bed because i thought aliens lived under it. If i had to go to the bathroom during the night i would stand up on my bed and jump as far out as i could. Needless to say when signs came out i freaked.hahaha

I used to believe that if I closed my eyes when I was in the shower that when I opened them again the shower water would be blood.

I used to believe that there was another person who looked exactly like me on the other side of the mirror, and I'd always try to catch her off guard and see if she was doing something different than me...

I used to believe that a little gnome on a bike heated the water in our house. The hotter I turned the faucet, the harder he had to peddle. When I was in a good mood, I would take a cold shower to give the little guy a break, but when I was pissed, I would literally burn myself just to make him work his butt off.

I thought there were 2 guys who lived under my stairs, and they'd grab your legs and pull you in the staircase if you stepped on the 3rd step. For some reason it was a tall guy and a short guy with no hair in a lab coat.
