at home

when i was younger my mum used to bath me i belived that if she took the plug out before i got out i would get sucked down the plug hole just like a tv show i watched !

When I was little I used to belive that there where monsters under my bed. And that if you had five fingers then they would eat you but, if you didnt then they whould leave you alone. lol

Once when my sister and I were putting the washing up away she asked me if I had breathed inside a glass I was holding. I thought she meant that I was supposed to and from then on breathed on everything before I put it away. Funny thing is no-one ever questioned me on it. I must have generally been a bit odd...

when i was three, i thought that my nanas bedroom light that hung from the ceiling, had a mouse lving inside it, because i heard it squeaking one day. my beliefe was shattered one day when the light bulb blew and i thought the mouse died. turns out that there was something wrong with the wiring and it made squeaky noises when the light was moved (t was one of those really dangly one)

My mother had an awful way to get us to put our clothes away: "The fire inspector will be coming by today. If clothes are laying around, he'll note it as a hazard to vacate the house. And our house insurance will go up."

I always check the shower if I go to the bathroom during the night because you KNOW those two little girls from the Shining are going to pop out and go "Come play with me Katey...." I saw that movie when I was twelve and I thought, oh, that would be cool, I'd play with them, up until the part when I saw them all dead! I freaked out. I am now 14.

I had a bed that was built into the wall and you had to use a ladder to get up to it. There was a whole play area under the bed, and I used to believe that when I turned the lights off to go to sleep, alligators would crawl around under it, waiting to bite off my toes if I hung them over the edge. I'm 21 now, and still get that feeling when I hang my feet over the side of the bed!

Whenever I go to the bathroom in somebody else's house, and they have a shower with the curtain drawn, I always check behind it to make sure nobodys behind there! This is weird because I've never gone to to the bathroom and had someone be behing there.

I used to believe the posters on my walls were watching me and when i was sleep they would go and talk about me.

I also thought there was cameras in my poster

I had this 1 poster of Aaliyah and when she died i thought she could come into my room and watch me

When I was little my parents told me that whenever you open the refrigerator door, a little man inside would run so fast you can't see him to turn on the light, and then run back to his house behind the fridge. For a while I was too afraid to open the door.

I used to, and kind of still do, that if I were to look at a dark window for too long, there was no way that a face wouldn't appear. I was so sure that if I kept on looking at that window that someones face would pop up... I still avoid dark windows.

For some reason, I used to believe that if you put a potato in the dishwasher, it would grow a palm tree. I decided to try it, and was very disappointed when all that came out was a wet, soapy potato.

When i was little, there was a tiny hold in the wall of my bedroom near the light switch. I used to believe that little people lived in there. God knows why. and i always wanted one day for them to come out and meet me. wierd huh?

i used to belive that there was a monster under my and when i got the courage to look it was just my dogs.

After watching the Poltergueist 3 I started to believe that you could go on the other side of the mirror but that was the bad side. So when I saw my reflection in the mirror I would yell at it and I waited for it's face to turn bad like in the movie! I am still waiting for my reflection to turn evil!

For as long as I can remember I've thought that there are people watching from behind fitting room / public bathroom mirrors. Someone told me this ridiculous trick to see if it's a "real mirror" or not... and even though I know it's preposterous, I still do the mirror check every time I'm in a room with a mirror. I'm 26!
