when I was 4, I used to believe every night when I went to bed, that robbers, kidnappers, and murderers were waiting under my bed for me. So I believed that if I yelled and talked to them, "I know you're under there! Go away!" and all sorts of gibberish, that they'd believe they were found out and would have to leave.
