i used to believe that there were gnomes (yes gnomes) in any room at my house when the lights were off. So when I went by a room with the lights off, i would run like the wind. I was also horrified of the dark. Beware of the GNOMES!!

When I was little and my dad would start a fire, he told me he had to take the logs with him everywhere he went and blow on them until they had enough oxygen to explode into a fire. I believed him for the longest time.

When I was a child I used to believe that the handle of my parent's bedroom was alive during the night. I could see every night the same show: 2 little metal people were talking about us.

Due to cartoons I used to believe that pretty much all kids had treehouses in their backyards, and I felt left out that our family didn't have one. Guess I never noticed that treehouses in real life aren't anywhere near as common as they are in cartoons!

I used to think that Webster (the feather duster-like tool that you use to get rid of cobwebs) was alive and mean. This was because the packaging had an angry looking face on it. I was always afraid of it.

As a child, my parents put "tot finder" stickers on our bedroom windows so firemen would be able to quickly locate us in case of an emergency. When I was about 2 I remember looking at the sticker and being afraid of it. I decided that making a clucking noise with my tongue would keep the evil at bay.

My mother would tell me when I was young, that if I didn't take my galoshes off at the door and wore them inside the house I would go blind.

As children, my brother and I used to love playing hide-and-seek with my dad. But he always had the best hiding spot. He would go to the furnace room and call our names into the furnace. We would be upstairs on the floor looking into the vents believing that somehow he had squeezed himself into the air vents.

When I was around six years old or so, I used to believe that if you looked into the reflection of your bed's headboard, that two women would come out of it and rape you... I most likely got this thought from my dreams.
