When I was younger my older brother told me that weasels lived under my bed and if I ever let go of my pillow They would get me. So for about a year I carried around a pillow everywhere I went. Silly huh?

when i was lil about 6 or 7 i used to believe that the "walk in " closet was a "walking closet"And it had a timer and it knew when u'd return to get something out of it.In the mean time it would walk around and go out and party waith other "walking closets" I was pretty dang foolish and i am now 35 and waonder if i was right.

My computer and everything fun is in the basement. It's usually dark down there and when I was a kid, when I turned off the lights to go back upstairs, I used to run up the stairs really fast (sometimes tripping) because I honest-to-goodness thought that the shadows or what ever was going to either kill me, or drag me back down the stairs into the darkness.

I used to believe there was a little man, inside the fridge that would turn off the light when you'd close the door.

I used to believed that if I didnt sing loud enough in the shower, a monster would come and get me. I believed that until my friend came over and made fun of me cause I sang in the shower.

When i was little my dad told me that there were sharks in the drain of the tub, so i was always terrified to pull the plug before i got out of the tub, i really thought sharks would come up and eat me like on jaws.

I believed that a werewolf lived in my mothers wardrobe and if sprayed with water from the spray bottle I was given (courtsey of my mother) that he wouldnt get me. She tells me that when she would still be awake and watching TV she could hear me spraying the bottle into the air!

I was five I moved into a house down the street from a girl who I became friends with very quickly. At the time I was OBSESSED with a cartoon called Lady Lovely Locks. My freind told me that Lady Lovely Locks lived in her basement and I believed her and I would go to her house to try and meet her almost everyday. That is how my freind coaxed me into being her freind in the first place!

I used to always think a werewolf came out of my bed at midnight if I wasn't asleep, unless I didn't move at all; then he wouldn't notice me. I pissed in my pants many times because of this, when I had to go to the bathroom very late at night but was scared of the werewolf.

I used to believe that every time I washed my hands that I had got rid of another load of dirt down the plughole and that eventually I would rid the world of it. This meant that eventually washing would become unnecessary

I used to believe…

you know when you run a tap and look into the plughole well I used to believe that little silver ring in the was a fish eye as i thought that fish could swim up the drainpipe!

i used to (and still do!) think that when i looked in the mirror, i would see me and some ghost, but when i look behind me, the ghost won't be there. I thought that the ghost would just come closer and closer until i die

when i was young,if ever I woke up at night,i did not dare to move as I thought that there were monsters around my bed waiting to jump on me at the slightest noise I make.so i used to wait for a farway vehicle to pass by to attract their attentions so that i could move a bit in my bed!

I used to believe that if any part of my body hung out of my bed that a shark would bite it! To this day (now 29 years old) I still have the covers over my head and can't bare to have any part of my body hanging over the bed, just incase!

I was always afraid that my 'mirror me' might forget to do his job properly and wouldn't move when I did, or move the wrong way then correct himself. I always tried to catch him out even though if it happened I would be so freaked out!

At home, the fancy blue dishes we ate off of on special occasions were referred to as "Mama's good china." Obviously, the fancy dishes were hers, and no one elses'. One year, we were having Christmas dinner at my grandmother's house. Eager to help, I went into the kitchen to ask if I could be allowed to set the table with "Nana's good Japan."

When I was a child, I believed that if I left the doors of my wardrobe open at night, an elephant would come out of it and terrorize me. If I realised I'd forgotten to shut the doors, I'd get out of bed and close them - no matter how comfortable I was. I still do this.

After I saw Nightmare in Elm Street I used to think Freddy Krueger was hiding in our shower. Every time I went to the bathroom I had to check behind the shower curtain first.
