When i was like 8 i thought that the drain for the showers had like a hand that would come out of it when water went down it. I thought that there was a man in the drain that when the water went down it it would wet him and hed get mad and pull me in and beat me up, so i never went close enough to the drain so that he could pull me in.(ended when i was 10)
