at home: in my closet

280 beliefs

i had a red dress from some old lady, and it was velvet it was on the door of the closet, and it hung there. i don't know what happened, but i thought one day that it was a witch dress. you know how when you touch that fabric, and move your hand upwards on it, it feels prickly, but when you move ity the opposite way, its smooth?yeah, i thought the prickly part was evil, and if there was a spot that was on the prickly side on the dress while wearing it, i'd have evil around me. so i smoothed it out every single time i wore it... took me FOREVER.

when i was little (from as far back as i can remember actually) i couldnt sleep if my closet was open. not even a crack. it had to be all the way closed. I would make sure it was firmly closed. This persisted into my mid twenties. Now i am able to sleep if its open a crack. but i still dont like sleeping if its open any significant way so theres a darker black area visible in it in the dark. AND of course.. to close it, you have to turn the light on first. Approaching an open closet in the dark is just..not a comfortable thing to do. I tend to think i am not scared of the closet these days.. but hm.. i guess some small residue of that fear does remain. damn hollywood. its those movies. the boogyman and "they"

— no such thing.

When I was little I couldn't sleep if I saw any light in my room (even layed a towel on the floor at the bottom of the door). I thought that if I couldn't see the monsters, they couldn't see me.

When i was little i never believed in monsters in the closet, there was a man that lived in my closet named Tex. Tex was an ex-ax murderer that would protect me. He would wake me up at night if something was wrong, when my mom told me that Tex didn't live in my closet I would say "if you don't believe in him then you can't see him."

my closet used to be full of so many things when i was younger. So because of this i never really saw the wall at the back of my closet. I would believe that if i ever made it to that wall, i would find a door that could transport me where ever i wanted. Sadly, that was disproved when one rainy day i made it to the wall..

Several years ago, my older sis and I decided to make up a story to tell to our younger sister. Our little sis had recently gotten chicken pox and what is now a round scar on the left of her forehead was a chicken pock that was healing at the time; oozing and such. So we told our gullible little sis that her brains were leaking out out of the hole, and that she would have to get a new brain. When she questioned us, we went on to tell her that the same thing had happened to Maw Maw (Dad's mom), and that if we went into the hall closet in her house, we'd find an old brain that had once belonged to Maw Maw... our sis had been almost inclined to believe us before that, but she was too smart to believe that Maw Maw was hoarding an old brain in her closet!

I use to think Uncle Fester hid in my parents closet. Everytime I'd walk in I'd check if he was waiting for me. If he wasn't there I'd think he was on a coffee break with my mom.

My grandmother had a rubber ducky in her linen closet. I believed that at night, that rubber ducky grew very large and wobbled in the closet, and if I opened the door it would jump out and replace my head--I would still be me, but I would have a giant rubber ducky for a head.

I believed that I had a closet Monster, and I'd get terrified to go to bed. My paranoia was calmed by the closet light being left on, but after a while, I became afraid that this monster wasn't afraid of the dark, and the light only helped it find me better.
My Mom bought me a giant stuffed unicorn and she told me that when I fell asleep, the unicorn came to life to protect the little girl who owns him from the closet monster.
After this, I was able to sleep peacefully, having dreams of a mighty unicorn fighting off the evil closet monster!
