at home

I used to believe that if too much water went into the overflow hole in the bathtub, it would fill inside the walls of the bathroom and flood the house.

Like many kids, I was so scared of taking a bath after seeing the movie JAWS. I believed that Jaws could come up through the faucet or that he was waiting for me.

My mother used to tell us that if children drank coffee they would not be able to sleep and would jump all night, so I believed just that - lying in bed and my body jumping up and down, if I drank coffee.

I also used to beleive that the kitchen appliances could go wrong and start punching your face like in Donald Duck comics, and so I was really scared, and still am, of those things (fridges, stoves, dish washers, etc.)

I use to believe that if you looked yourself in the eyes while looking in a mirror and said Candyman (The name of a killer in a movie I think) 3 times, his face would appear over yours and he'd reach out and drag you into mirror world.

I used to believe that the whole world was an illusion and things only exixted if I could see them. I thought that mirrors were a sort of window outside my world and I would sneak up on them and try to see outside before my reflection came up.

when i was a kid i musta been like 4 or 5. my parents grounded me and it was the first time ever. i told my friends thru the screen door i'd never seem them again cause i was grounded. i thought my parents were gonna bury me in the back yard up to my head for a week.

My Grandmother would tell us that if we looked into a mirror at night we would see the devils face. Until today I have a kreepy feeling when passing a mirror in darkness

I used to believe that there was a little man under my bed behind a big control bord(like the wizard of oz) and he contorled long arms that would grab me and drag me under...i still jump into my bed when its dark.

after watching the michael jackson video "THRILLER", i was afraid of taking a shower because i was sure that the "dead" would break through the tile and GET ME!!!

well...you know the furry stuff that you find in the pot of fake indoor plants. i used to call it sheepy hair and my parents convinced me that it was poisenous. I am still afraid of it to this day and i am 18 years old

I used to believe…

ahhhhh theres a spy camera in my shower head

When I was younger I asked my dad what the red cord in our garage was (you pull it and then you have to open it by hand instead of with the opener). He didn't want me to ever pull it, so he convinced me that if I ever did pull it, the house would explode.

I used to believe that dust bunnies was something that would jump out and attack you if the house wasn't kept clean.
Now because of that I am a compulsive house keeper.

Every time I would put my mouth directly on the faucet to get a drink of water, my Grandmother would warn me I was going to swallow a fish someday! I would dream for years a fish got stuck in my throat.

The inside of my bedroom closet was covered with wallpaper that had rows of tiny geometric designs. I was convinced these markings were Egyptian hieroglyphics and when I deciphered them I would become rich and famous.

I would always hide under the covers when I was little becasue I thought coyotes, bears and wolves would jump in my window and eat me, but if I hid under the covers I would be safe.

Then as I grew a bit older, I thought a family of cobras lived under my bed. I even drew a picture of them in first grade. We had to draw a picture of ourselves in bed thinking, and I had to add the snakes since I was so sure they were there. I was scared to get into bed at night because I thought that while I was crawling into bed and one foot was still on the floor, the snakes would bite me.

The last monster I thought existed was a fat little witch who floated above my head. If I didn't cover my head with the covers within 2 seconds of when I turned out the lights, she would send down her pet spider and another snake, and they woudl crawl in bed with me and eat me. i'm still terrified of spiders.
