You know when you wake up from a sudden jerk, that causes your body to jump? Well I used to believe that those were monsters under my bed, that used to poke me. Only to keep me up all night, so I don't sleep.

My older Brother told me when i was 5 or 6 that if I stayed in the bathroom too long dracula would come up the drain to eat me.
When I was 3 I used to believe that when two mirrors face each other causing that effect where it looks like a neverending sequence of mirrors, that it would be possible to fall into the mirror and be trapped in there, so every time I saw that in the bathroom when the mirror on the door and the bathroom mirror faced each other, I would run.
I'm not sure if this is the right category, but when I was really little my dad would tell me that fraggles (they're Jim Henson muppets, if you don't know) lived in our basement behind the furnace. I don't think I ever went to search for them, but I did believe him.

When I was a child I used to believe that I could talk to my reflection and my reflection could talk to me......
When I was about 5, i thought that there were monsters ON TOP of my bed. I was so scared that when my parents went to sleep, I crawled under my bed so the monsters couldn't get me.
when i was little, about 4 or 5 i used to think that my light bulb was an alien. i dont really kno why. i guess it did kinda look like one. i was always terrified to go to sleep face up because i was afraid to wake up looking at it. one day i told my sister and she hasnt let me forget it till this day!
When I was 5 we moved house and I had a huge bedroom. Though it was so big tonnes of the space were never used. One night I must have been playing with some tennis balls or something because there were about 10 of these creatures on my floor!
Without the light they looked hell scary. I stopped sleeping on my bottom bunkbed... 8-D
When I was younger I thought that there was an evil old, groty creature lived under my bed although only at night and sometimes it was Chuckie. I though he would reach his had up from under the bed and try to kill me. So I always had my bed in the corner so at least he couldn't get me from those two sides. Then I would line up all my stuffed animals on the remaining sides to keep him out.
when i was little i used 2 believe that there was a monster under my bed and that if i didnt feed it every morning and every night it would creep up on me when i was sleeping and kill me. i called it the "food monster". my mom went crazy trying 2 figure out where all the cereal and left-over meat loaf went. 1 day i was talking 2 my sister and i told her i was worried that it was going to kill me because i had forgotten 2 give it breakfast 1 day. she could not stop laughing and she hasnt let me forget it 2 this day. every time i annoy her she says "remember the food monster?"
I had a water bed and I used to be scared that, if I poked a hole in it, my room would fill up with water and I could drown. I was really scared and was always careful with sharp objects around it.
When I was little my best friend and I used to think that fairies lived in my laundry closet and that we each owned half of them. We used climb on the washer and dryer and play with the fairies for hours and have HUGE fights over who owned Tinkerbell.
My sister used to believe that if you stood in front of the microwave while it was on, you could be zapped to another planet. Thus, when she felt like running away she would pack her bags and stand in front of the running microwave. If you tried to talk to her she would say "I can't hear you I am on another planet."
I used to believe there were cars on the floor trying to get me and i told this to my bro so everytime we were sittng on the floor i would say "quick jump on the bed the cars are coming!" that was when i was probly bout 8 yrs old.where i got that from i dont know...
I used to believe that the boarder on my room's walls, which were a lot of baby doll paintings, watched every move I made. So, being terrified, I used to get dressed in the dark and would sneak around my room hoping to hide every move I made.
I used to believe that almost everything bounced. One day I was caught with several bits of egg shell and egg yoke on the floor - I had been bouncing the eggs. Then another day, I tried to bounce one of my mum's china plant pots. I wasn't too popular that day.
We had one of those automatic ice-makers in our freezer when I was growing up. I used to believe that the noise it made was a man named Stanley who made the ice. I made the mistake of telling that to my grandmother, who put a little plastic man and woman in the freezer, so that when I looked to see if Stanley really existed, I found not only did he exist but had a wife!
Stanley's wife never got a name, though. She was always just referred to as "his wife". It took me a long time to accept that Stanley didn't really make my ice.
okay, up until I was like 7, I used to believe that the shower head was looking at me, so I never look a shower and I would never go into the bath!
