Around age 5 or so, I used to be deathly afraid to walk to the bathroom at night, for fear of monsters. I lived in a large house, and most of my family, including my parents slept upstairs - while I had a bedroom on the 1st floor.
I thought that monsters came out at night, and would be prowling around the house, just waiting for some unsuspecting victim...
I would put on a scary monster mask and dark cape, left-over props from Halloween - thinking that if I looked like a monster too, they wouldn't attack me. I would just be another monster using the bathroom!
I remember being scared to death, peeing, hoping that my disguise was working... lol
