When I was about 6, I was convinced that all the teachers in my school lived in a very large, one room basement under the school, and that somewhere there was a big elevator they took to get to their basement after school when all the kids left. I then had my heart set on finding hte elevator and finally convinced myself it was in the janitors closet, and for at least 3 or 4 years would run past the door for fear that a mad teacher was going to jump out and grab me and no one would ever see me again.
