When I was 5, I believed I had to pretend I was asleep as soon as I got in bed because a monster (bigfoot like) would come around to check. If he saw you awake through the window, he'd attack you. I could even hear the footsteps on the leaves outside of the bedroom. I later discovered this was the sound of my heartbeat in my ear against the pillow.
