I live in a double story house and our stairs aren't solid, so you can look through the gaps down at the floor below..When I was little I was terrified of a monster sticking its hand out between the stairs and grabbing me. So I used to run up the stairs and never look back...I still do it
A childhood belief about monsters
others believed things like this
- I would turn the lights off and then leg it up the stairs thinking a monster would be chasing me.Anon
- 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
- I used to believe that it was the law to hold the railing when you're walking down/up stairs— Brit
- I used to believe I could fly.
All I had todo was step of a flight of stairs and I'd be walking in the air...— Dolly
