I used to believe that at night, a man came through a trap door under my bed and waited for me to fall asleep so he could reach up and grab me. I always put my teddy bear in bed next to me and if I would wake up the next morning with the teddy bear on the floor (which it always was because I would roll over and it would fall off) then I would know that the man tried to grab me but got the teddy bear instead.
