make-believe

I used to believe…

When I was younger I had many imaginary friends but the one i remember most is Billy, who had a potato like body that was red and said "I love you", a round purple head with three long sea-green hairs that curled at the end. He was my best friend for suuuch a long time! I used to talk and play games with him, which confused my dad, who was also named billy

My little brother couldn't sleep for awhile, and I asked him why and he said he was afraid of the "tutors coming out of the little holes in the wall"

My sister had a tutor for math that year...

when i was younger we had a caravan that was near a massive forest called fairy glen. my nanna would take me and my uncle, saying if i had been a good girl the fairies would have left some trolls for me, hidden in various places. i used to find these trolls in the wierdest places around the forest, and believed in the fairies. it wasnt until i went to the same place with my little brother and my nanna asked me to go ahead and hide some trolls for him to find i realised it had always been my slighty older uncle hiding them for me!! thanks nanna!!! i believed!!!!

When i was a kid in school the teachers told us that fairies lived in the trees on the field that would hide smarties on your birthday for you to find, and if you knock very gently on their doors (the knots in trees that are smooth) they might come out. weren't we fooled!!!... still enjoyed the smarties 'the fairies' left for us!!

When I was younger I was linda scared of aliens after hearing my mum tell me about war of the worlds and i used to be scared then I got worried that they would hear my thoughts and be angry.

When I was younger and it got to Christmas time my parents used to tell me that sants was watching me to know if I had been a good girl or a bad girl.
I used to think Santa and his elve's lived in our plug sockets on the walls and were spying on me through the holes in the sockets!
Otherwise how else could he be watching me?!

I used to believe…

When I was about six, the bathroom door at our house had a pattern in the wood that looked like a face, and I thought that it was real and I used to talk to it. I was so upset when we moved house and my parents wouldn't bring the bathroom door with us - I was worried that it wouldn't be able to make friends with the new people moving in.

When I was home alone my protection from monsters and ghosts was to stay on my couch or bed with no part of me touching the floor or walls...and my bed had to be in a position where I could see all of my room...it seems to have worked ;)

I used to believe that if you closed a door on a dark room, then all of these monsters in the room would come out of their hiding places and start partying. I even remember one time when I was closing the door to my parents room, and I said something like, "I hope the monster's have fun." I was one screwed up kid.

I used to believe that there were two ghosts who would come and check each kid's room at night. If they couldn't hear breathing they would move on. If they did, they would come in and dump a whole gallon of ice cold water on you and you would freeze. So whenever I heard the wind blowing outside, I would hold my breath. Once I passed out.

I used to beleive that a "cathedral" was a type of monster.

My mother would sometimes sing me a lullaby called "Green Cathedral" . . . I would lay awake for hours, afraid, because of it.

When I was about 7 we moved to a new house. The neighbors didn't hesitate to tell me about the previous owner's wife who committed suicide in the house. For years I was terrified to go into the basement. Sometimes the kitchen faucet would turn on by itself, and other times we would hear "footsteps" in the attic. The kitchen problem turned out to be a faulty washer, and the attic problem was caused by squirrels in the eves. For years I believed in ghosts.

I used to be absolutly convinced that a vampire lived in my bathtub because it was like a coffin without a lid. I could not go to the bathroom until someone went and checked it first.

When I was a kid, my friend Jessie convinced me that if you looked into a mirror in the dark, Bloody Mary would appear. Of course, I believed her, and to this day I am terrified to look in a mirror in the dark.

As a kid, I lived on the 2nd level of my home, and when I would go down the stairs, the front door was at the bottom. The front door had a huge window on it, and I was terrified I would see Bloody Mary in the glass. I would hold a pillow in front of my face when going down the stairs just so I couldn't see the glass. I am a wuss.

I remember when I was a kid I thought that monsters were real and they were always under my bed. Well later in my life I went camping and everyone did that bloody mary thing. Well I did it and I was scared to death to go to bed for a whole year and more but I've gotten over it (thank goodnes!), but still sometimes when I go to bed I check my mirror.
