When my little sister and I were about 4-6 years old, we would be scared to death to sleep with stuffed animals. We thought so because we had an irrational fear that the ceiling took our toys and socks at night, because when we would wake up in the morning, they were nowhere to be found. (The toys went on the floor and our socks really just came off while we were sleeping). Once, I even "saw" the ceiling take one of my favorite Barbies.
