I used to believe that aliens would come and get me in the night. I would lay awake terrified. To make matters worse, I was convinced that thinking about it sent a mind signal to them and they'd know exactly where I was. I never could avoid this train of thought, but they still haven't come to get me. (of course, there were some injuries I could never explain)
