When I was a little kid, we had a BIG walk in closet at the end of our hallway, right next to our bathroom. I was 100% convinced that a monster lived in that closet, and that every time you flushed the toilet, you woke him up and the sound of the water banging in the pipes after you flushed was really him trying to break out of the closet. The few times i was brave enough to actually flush the toilet, I would run into my room as fast as I could and hide under the blankets until the banging stopped.
