I thought that when water was heated it turned into tea. People boiled the kettle, poured it into a teapot and the magic was done.

I used to believe Cookie Monster was underneath my bed. When I got a little older I thought one of the monsters from the Little Monsters movie (with Howie Mandel) was under there and would kidnap my brother.

When I was little I used to have to sleep facing my closet doors because I thought vampires lived in there and they would only come out to get me if I wasn't facing them.

I used to believe that there was a witch underneath my bed and if any of my bodyparts hung over the sides the witch would grab and eat me. :o

i used to believe that if a paper towel went down the sink drain, the fire alarm would go off. i hated the fire alarm.

After watching the movies Volcano and Dante's Peak when I was WAY too young, I was afraid to take a shower or bath for a week because I used to believe lava would come out of the taps.

when i was really small i would lap up the water from the shower while bathing... and so my mum told me that any water that came from a tap and wasn't boiled was "germ-water" and would kill me eventually... i grew up believing this until i was, like, seven...! even when i'd play house i'd kill off my 'husband' by saying.. "oh he died by drinking germ-water"... thanks, mum.

When i was a kid I had an old computer in the closet(I'm 13 now), and when I turned it off, the monitor would make weard crackaly sound. I aways thought this was an hour glass, and when it ran out(stop making sounds), and a was in the room, something would come out and kill me. I had a large room, and the computer and door were at opisit corners of the room. this went on for about a year untill we got a new computer. I think this is why I'm great at running

You know when you turn on the hot tap & the water comes out cold first, so you do a little 'come here' motion with your hand in the water to see when it is hot enough without risking burning yourself? Well it turns out my daughter (aged about 5) understandably assumed that this hand action is how you 'turn the water hot'. She explained this to me kindly and patiently when one day I ran the hot tap & complained that all the hot water had run out. I have never corrected her.

I used to believe that there was a totally diffrent world under my bed. I also used to believe that my stuff animals (I'm a boy who collected stuff animals but I not ashamed to admit it) could talk to me and I could talk to them and they where a look out crew that protected me.

When I was 7, I read this little story from some book of scary stories. In the story, a cat goes under a kids bed and unlocks a portal to the underground monster world and the monsters could grab the kid. When my dog went under my bed, I always thought that she unlocked the portal and the monsters were going to get me.

After I saw Titanic, I had a fear of water since all the dead people were in it. When I got home that night to take a shower, I was afraid that the actualy Titanic would come bursting through the pipes, and all the dead people with it! And when I went to the bathroom I was afraid that a dead person would come through the toilet to try to get me while I was doing my business

When I was little (and for far too long into my childhood) I believed that my house was a giant's doll house, and my friends and family were being moved around by the giant girl who owned us. We only went to bed because the giant girl's mommy told her to stop playing. Every time we went someplace new, I was really excited because that meant that the giant girl's family got richer and bought her add-ons for her doll house!

I used to have a fear that if I got out of bed at night and didnt set my feet down far enough from the bed something would grab my ankles and pull me under the bed.So before bed I would take a run and go and jump about 4 feet from my bed and I would always land safely in the middle of my mattress.And I used to be afraid when I was sitting on the toilet that a hand would grab my butt and pull me in.I was a weird kid....
