When I was about five, my best friend told me that a vampire lived in the end cubicle of the girl's toilets at school. The other cubicles had a ghost and a goblin that were decidedly scarier.
She said the vampire would eat us if we went in wearing a watch. So every time one of us needed to go in there, we gave our watch to the other girl.
One time she was not in class - I really had to go, so I ran as fast as I could, skidded on the mopped floor and knocked myself out on the wall next to the cubicle.
