Due to the movie Poltergeist and how the clown doll grabs the brother and pulls him into the other dimension under the bed, I spent years leaping from my doorway to my bed. I'm 27 and still do this sometimes.
This also led to my long-standing (still-standing) fear of clowns. It's the unnatural smile, I think. To this day I can't stand 'em.
A childhood belief about under my bed

- My dad used to say that if you ate standing up, then all the food would go to your big toe.Anon
- I used to think it was possible for girls to pee standing up. I even tried.Anon
