When I was 5 or six I never turned the light on in the bathroom at night as I thought ghosts would be able to see me. I also didn't flush the toilet, as this would have been silly, you know as they'd hear it and know where I was. I'm not really sure why I thought ghosts lived in my bathroom

I used to believe... that vampires would not get people with last names that began with G, only those whoses names began with an X, Y, or Z. Also, that if they couldn't see my neck, they wouldn't get me

When I was in primary school the whole school had to sit in the main hall on the ground and listen to boring assembleys. So I used to sit cross legged and have thrilling imaginary conversations with my shoes. They were shiny and the light reflected off them making face like shapes. I would make the faces move their mouths and talk by wiglling my toes. I actually believed that they were real people who had come in the form of light reflections to entertain me.

When I was five I got my own room after having to share with my younger sisters since they were born. Although I liked it at first, after a few weeks I became more and more afraid of of the vampire that lived on top of the cupboard and never wanted to go to sleep in case I wouldn't wake up the next morning. After a few months a neighbour gave us one of those sets of bunk beds that has cupboards and drawers where the bottom bunk should be, when her kid had outgrown it, but I was too scared to sleep in it because that would mean that the vampire would have to sleep in my bed because if I was sleeping on top of the wardrobe.

when I was like 7 me and my sister had just started argueing a whole whole lot Well it was christmas time and my mom and dad can't not give us presents from santa. So my mom wrote a real long letter in real pretty swirly lettering say that santa was disappointed and that if we weren't better the following year he wouldn't give us any presents. My sister and I fell for and this kept us believing for about one more year...

When I was young, I thought the ninth line of the song 'Santa Clause is Coming to Town' was "He'll seize you when you're sleeping" instead of "He sees you when you're sleeping" and I was thinking that Santa Clause would seize me when I'm sleeping, put me inside the bag and take me to the North Pole.

my uncle used to tell me when i was little and stayed at my grandma's that if i didn't wash my hands before i went to bed, little germ monsters would come and eat me alive, and all that would be left of me in the morning would be a pile of bones. i was so terrified of this that i wouldn't be able to sleep and have nightmares about little germs coming and devouring me in my sleep! i believe this until i was like 10!

When my sister was little she had an imagery friend called Roger n she used to sit in her room for hours talking to him n playing schools n stuff like that. My mum always thought she was wierd n kept trying to tell her he wasnt real but she wouldnt have any of it n continued to play with him. Eventually he left, he moved to America i think, n my mum was really happy that shed grown out of it. When my sister was 6 she came home from school n told everyone that Roger had started school and was coming for tea, my mum was horrified n kept saying he wasnt real. But it turned out Roger was actually the name of a boy who had just moved to my sisters school and he did come round for tea.

I used to believe that the steam rising off my food was ghosts. one evening my mother put a fresh bowl os pasta down in front of me. i was starving so i grabbed my fork and went to eat a mouthful and suddenly saw it!GHOSTS! i screamed and threw my pasta to the floor, smashing the bowl, and ran crying and screaming to my room.

I used to have these imagary friends. They were busisness people. So I guess that they were really imaginary buisness people. They used to ware suits. One guys name was bob and one girls name was sally or susan i forgot. The others didn't have names.

DO you know how you look into a light, or into the sun, you see colors when you look away? Well, When I was little I got up early one time (i usually stayed in bed untill someone else got up before me).I sat on the couch and didn't turn the tv on. Why? I was freaking out. I had looked into the sun, or a light previosly, and I saw these colored monsters coming towards me. I was so scared, that I never got out of bed first again.

I believed in Santa Claus until i was 11, i think, when i hid rat poison that I found in the garage inside my cookies, and the next morning, when I woke up, My dog was "sleeping" and never woke up

When I was at the ripe age of 3, i was always horribly terrified of going into my living room. Why, you ask? My cousin somehow got me to believe there was a monster living in our grand piano and it was very hungry. She said to keep it in the piano, I had to keep it full by feeding it french fries.

Every day until we moved, I'd pop a little fry in the hole under the keys to keep the horrible monster tame.

Needless to say, my mother was not the happiest person in the world when we had to move the piano into the truck.
