i used to think something would grab me from under the bed so i would get a running start and fly onto the bed grab the blanket and then hide my head but then i would think well if i just stick my head under the bed really quick and scream in a monster voice really loud that i would scare it before it could get me cause i was kind of curious what it was under my bed and what it looked like
At one point in time, I believed that on the other side of a mirror was another world. I used to have nightmares about someone from the other side sneaking through, and I also used to believe that if I moved fast enough, that my reflection wouldn't be able to follow me and I could slip through. As I got older, I realized that I would have to travel faster than light to accomplish that.
When I was about 5 or 6, I was always afraid of having too much balloons in the house or the car. I thought that if there was too much balloons, the car or house would float into space and carry us with it.
when i was young, i believed that a crocodile lived under my bed because i had a bad dream about it and thought it was real. I though it would try to bite me if i went near the edge of my bed! So when i had to go to sleep, i was really careful not to let my feet go near the bottom of my bed and jumped from a distance instead!
I had a dark red carpet in my room, and for some reason only after I'd gotten into bed, it would become shark infested. They would have eaten me, but for my cunning plan of placing books on the floor so I didn't have to stand in the water. My mum thought it was funny so never corrected me, just giving me more books by my bed so I didn't have to jump as far and possibly land in the water. Mean people
as a little, I used to think that a monster lives under my bed so every time I was sleeping in my bed I would cover every part of my body with blanket so that the monster couldn't touch it.

I used to think that "wall-to-wall" carpeting meant that the entire room had carpet on it, including all the walls.
When I was little, I thought that there were monsters or something like that under my bed. The only way that I wouldn't be afraid to move was if I made up something that I do that would make the monster not come out. Like if I,ve ever blinked before I'd be safe!
I used to believe…
for a very very long time, i thought that the monsters under my bed liked to eat toes cuz i asked my mom what monsters ate, and she said toast. i thought she said toes. so i always had a stuffed animal at my feet to protect me at night. i made deals with the monsters that if they didn't eat me, my stuffed animals wouldn't eat them, so me and my under-the-bed monsters have been friends ever since!!
I used to believe that the spaghetti packages in the kitchen cuboard used to multiply every month or so. i never figured that my mom buys groceries and puts the spaghetti in the cupboard.

when i was 6 i used to believe there was an alien under my bed and if i didnt get a running start and jump like 4 feet on to my bed he would reach his hand out from under the matress,grab my leg and pull me under.
When I was young I used to think that everytime I went to the bathroom at night there was a little girl sitting in the bathtub. So every time I used the bathroom at night I would pull back the shower curtains to make sure no-one was there. I am now 19 and I still do that at night. (Pretty Pathetic Huh?)
I used to believe in closet monsters. Before I slept at night, the closet door and my room door HAD to be shut closed. Im now 21 and I dont believe in closet monsters anymore, but my closet door and room door still HAS to be closed for me to be able to have a goodnight sleep.

I used to believe that "elbow grease" was a tough kind of grease that you smeared on your elbow to get tough stains out.
when i was 4 or 5 there was this spinning cabnet in our kitchen...and i used to think fraggles lived in the part of the cabnet i couldnt see. so when nobody was around i would talk to them hoping they would talk to me because fraggle rock was my favorite show.
When I was 5, I used to believe that monsters would eat me if I ever opened my closet, now whenever I go past my closet I look at the lock on it to see if my closet is locked, and then if it is, I run away quick! It still haunts me today, if I think of my closet!

When I noticed that the plugs on electrical appliances are often marked “Fused”, I thought that meant that they had blown a fuse.
When I was nine I watched part of a movie on TV where some poltergeist reached up through a puddle of oil on a garage floor and pulled the little girl of the movie through to him. After that, I was convinced that he was real and could do the same thing in the bathtub, because our drain was slow and there was always a small pool of water at the bottom. I got so scared that I eventually started standing on washclothes in the shower, believing they would act as a barrier and protect me from the poltergeist.
