My best friend and I used to believe that there was a little green man who lived inside the toilet and would eat your poop! My fear of him was so great that I would sit backwards on the toilet so I could watch and make sure he wasn't there. I stopped that when I was maybe 10. I still retain a fear of the loud flushing sound a toilet makes- I make sure flushing is the last thing I do before I leave the bathroom... though I don't generally admit it.
