I was always afraid to look at a window in our house at night, because I was sure I'd see a pale, bald evil-looking face staring back in. Since there was a window in our shower, I had to cover it up with a hand towel if I had to shower at night.

I used to believe that a white gorilla from an episode of Star Trek lived in my closet. I had gorillas issues.

When I was a kid I was always afraid that if i stood to close to the drain I would be sucked down with the water...I think my older sister told me that. She was so evil then!

I used to believe that there was someone (human or ghost like thing) hiding in my bathtub, so every time i'd go to the bathroom, i'd have to open up the shower curtain and make sure there was no one there

There was this pillow with patches in the shape of a dog in my house. I used to believe I made this pillow the day I came back from the hospital (the day after my birth.)????

When I was a kid I use to believe that when I went to bed, and if I were to dangle my hands or feet over the edge... A monster with a chainsaw would come up and saw off the parts that were dangling over... Needless to say, I always slept in the fetal position...

When i was little i would be afraid to go to bed because i was always afraid of chickens in there. I guess i was dreaming about them or something because i would always kick to get rid of them

I used to believe that I had to get out of the bathtub really quickly once the drain had been let out. I thought I'd be sucked down if I didn't hurry.

I used to think that Webster (the feather duster-like tool that you use to get rid of cobwebs) was alive and mean. This was because the packaging had an angry looking face on it. I was always afraid of it.

I used to believe that if i didnt tuck in my feet at night that someting was going to eat them.

When I was a child my room had brown carpet and the hallway had green carpet. I used to believe there were aligators under my bed since the brown carpet was like a swamp and the green was like land. I would get ready for bed in the bathroom then jump to my bed without touching the floor for fear of the aligators getting me.

Not exactly UNDER my bed, but..

After watching an episode of Oprah about fire hazards, I was unbelievably afraid that my house would catch fire while I slept. I was never scared of fire during the day but it always felt so hot when I fell asleep, like the flames were coming...

I realized 2 years later that my bed was right next to the radiator.

Thanks Oprah. >:/

I was feeling sleepy one night and it was my first real night in a proper bed. I was just dozing off when I heard a roar from under my bed. I made my Dad come in and look for the Lion that was under there but he never found it!
To this day, I still jump into bed so that nothing can grab my ankles and I always tuck my feet into the end of the duvet so nothing can tickle me in the night.

I used to think that there was a guy working behind the shower and whenever I turned the heat on I would say "Hurry up!" if I thought the guy was taking too long to turn the hot water on.

I used to believe (probably from reading to many Famous Five books by Enid Blyton) that every house had a secret tunnel somewhere, you just had to find it. I used to go around tapping walls and things to find them. My suspicions were confirmed when I went on a school trip in primary school to a very very old house, where there were many secrets cupboards tunnels and passages. This made me look even harder when I got home, even though my mom and dad tried to convince me otherwise.

I also managed to convince my sister that when she was asleep at night a tunnel used to open between our house and next door, and the tunnel started above her bed, and I told her stories of how I used to go through the tunnel at night and play games with my neighbours.

We also used to think that it would be really kool if all houses were connected by underground passages that no-one knew about except our friends, so we could visit each other in the night without our parents knowing!

I heard from my friend that if you look in the mirror at night and then go to sleep you would have a nightmare. So every night when i brushed my teeth i never looked up in the mirror so i brushed my teeth with my eyes closed.

I used to think that if you watched a horror movie, the monster or bad guy of the movie would be allowed to leave the movie and go in your room at night. Then they would watch you from the closet or under the bed and wait til you were alone to attack. I used to get sooo scared. Especially after watchin that movie When a Stranger Calls. I thought that the man would come and get me in the middle of the night. Honestly, i still do sometimes!
