When I was little the hissing noise the toilet made when you flush it scared me. In all the movies I watched the ghosts made hissing noises when they came up behind you, so me, being so little, thought that a ghost came out of the toilet when you flushed and ran as fast as I could from the bathroom after I flushed, turning off the light so the ghost couldn't see.
