Ok this is when I was around 7 I believed that if I wasn't on my bed when I was in my room and it was dark someone would jump out and capture me. Like I had this lamp on a nightstand next to my bed and my light switch was by the door. Well every night I would walk into my room turn the light switch on and the lamp then turn the light switch back off jump into bed turn the lamp off then go to sleep. Except I wasn't afraid of the dark because I would spend hours in the attic which had no electricity at all on some nights.
