My sister was haunted by the belief that a fox would take her and eat her. She always looked under her bed before she jumped all the way from the door and right into the bed (several meters! LOL!) Then, safe in bed, she bent over to check again under the bed.
Her cousin told her that foxes even could climb walls, so she had to stop sleeping with her window open.
