I used to believe…
that if i made sure none of me was sticking over the edge of my bed-not even a milimetre of skin-the monsters wouldnt know i was there
I used to think Colgate's "Total" toothpaste would be different colours all in the one tube. An older ad for it showed them squeezing it out of the tube, and it was different colours each time. A few months later I stayed over at someone's house and they had the toothpaste. Much to my disappointment, it came out white, and only white, just like the boring toothpaste I had at home.
After watching a skit about a drain monster on the old Nickelodeon show 'You Can't Do That On TV' I was scared to death to take a shower. I still took them but i made sure that i was as far away from the drain as possible so the 'drain monster' couldn't attack me. This belief haunted me until the age of 10! I was absolutely horrified!
When I was 5 I used to believe that when I flushed the toilet the 'Flushie Monster' would get me so I never used to flush the loo if I could get away with it. My Mum used to tell me off so much that I had to flush, so I would make sure the toilet door was open so that I could run out before the @Flushie Monster' could get me. Even now I cannot go into the toilet nless the light is switched on and Im 33.
I used to be terrified that a Dalek would get me once i got out of bed. So I used to make my twin brother turn out the light with the pull switch, even though it hung by me in the top bunkbed, he had to get out of the bottom bed to do it. I also made him come with me to the toilet every time. He never complained once! I love you Adrian!!
after watching 'the little mermaid' i was so terrified of ursula the 'baddie sea witch'that i believed she lived underneath my bed to bite my toes if i got out of bed at night!(i think my father had some involvement in this!)
Our next door neighbour told us if you looked in a mirror after midnight you would see the devil!
i used 2 believe that if i stayed in the bath long enogh i would get sucked down the plughole
I used to believe that at night there is a monster cutting around the edges of my bed with a chainsaw. So I always made shure my legs or arms don't stick out otherwise they would be cut of.
I used to think that there was a wearwolf in my wardrobe that whatched me when Iwas sleeping and in the morning he would follow me around like a ghost.

My sister believed that if her feet stuck out from under the duvet an earwig would grasp onto a toe and the fire brigade would have to be called to remove it.
How about that fish that blinked at you from the plug-hole when you were cleaning your teeth,and it would somehow jump out and bite you if you weren't careful!
I used to believe there was a man who lived under my bed, and when I got out of bed to turn the light off, I had to jump from as far as I cound back onto the bed incase he grabbed my legs before I got to the bed.
When I was a nipper, I used to believe that there was a
Drain Draggon who lived in my Bath. When the water went down
the overflow and made that gurggle noise, I used to think that it
was the drain monster drinking my bath water.
I used to believe that if i didn't check behind the shower curtain everytime i used the bathroom someone malevolent would be behind it and would get me at a very vulnerable moment...each time i'd stand at the threshold of the bathroom and psyche myself up to run in a grab the curtain to check...i still do it sometimes in stranger's bathrooms...
When I was really little I would sometimes sleep in my parents room because of my asthma. During the night, I could swear I heard a man singing and playing the guitar in the closet! My parents were both sleeping, and I so scared I just prentended to be asleep so he wouldn't know I heard him. For awhile I believed a man was secretly living in the closet.
when I was younger(about 3or 4), my mom read me the Chronicles of Narnia.
I used to think that if I didn't get out of the bathtub quick enough one of those evil centaur thingies
would pop out of the drain pipe
