When i was little i refused to sleep with my bedroom window open even in the hottest summer nights. The reason being even on my second storey bedroom i used to beleive if i left my window open Wolves would fly in and play on my bed while i was sleeping in it. I think it must have stemmed from a dream but it had me terrified for years

night a skelleton would pop out and wave at me— bex - I thought if I left the door open too long, a dog would come from the cupboard in the washroom and eat me
Anon - I used to beleive in stores that were open 24/7 , that the people that worked there worked 24/7 nonstop.Anon
- I used to think if I left the toilet seat open my cat would get flushed down the toilet.— G
