Once when I was about seven, a babysitter had a friend over who brought the video "Planet of the Apes". Of one or another reason I was allowed to watch it, which made me think there were apes under my bed, apes under the stairs (so they could grab my feet), and apes in closets and behind doors. I`m over the bed-thing now, but I still run the stairs. I`m born in 75.
A childhood belief about under my bed
others believed things like this

- When I was a child I believed that if I fell off the earth I would end up on the Plante of The Apes.— IslandGirlie
- I used to believe I could fly when I was about four, until I fell down the stairs.— Sarah
- I used to think you could die if you jumped half way down the stairs. Anon
- I used to believe that if I went down the stairs slowly a red eyed skeleton would come and run after me.— Melly2bee
