A childhood belief about under my bed

I used to think there was a set of disembodied skeletal hands under my bed, lying in wait to grab me by the ankles. I had to take a run down the hall and fling myself into bed from the doorway in order to avoid them.

The monster under the bed stayed with me until my teens, but I'd steel myself to walk in front of my bed.

The monster finally left when my bedroom was moved into the basement. I think I'll be seeing it again when I have kids.
