My Stepmother led me to believe, at the young age of 6, that if I did not finish my dinner the "Sleastacks" from "Land of The Lost" would come get me. Talk about nightmares.... :)

When I was like 4 or 5 I wasnt social and I like to talk to my imaginary friends (out loud). My sister hated it and decided to tell me one day if I kept talkin to myself that I would catch this disease called "Aintlifegrand" (she said it so fast it sounded like a real diagnosis). She said that your legs would be your arms and your arms would be your legs and your eyes would fall out. then everyday you would knock on peoples door and say "AInt LIfe grand?" I was so scared and i never talked to my "friends" again.

When I was like 6 or 7 at school me and a bunch of my friends were suppose to go in the bathroom one by one and do "Bloody Mary" and see if you could "see" her. Well i was scared and didnt wanna see her so i didnt do anything. All the other kids came back and said that when they flushed the toliet (like they were supppose to) saw her in the mirror. So from then on for a long time i thought if you flushed the toliet and looked in the mirror you would "see her" so i would flush the toliet and run out the bathroom

When I was younger, about 3 or so, I watched a scary vampire movie with my father. It was Thanksgiving so in the kitchen my mom was preparing a turkey and when I was done I figured I'd check up on her. I pulled a chair up to the sink looked at the turkey and said, "Is he dead yet?" My mom answered with a simple, "Yes honey, he's dead." Well since I had just gotten done watching the movie I was a bit worried and told mamma "He's gonna get up and get us now." Whenever mom feels like embarrassing me she tells the story about how I thought the turky was a vampire.

When i was about 3, i had a dream in which some monsters came up ourr garden path and tried to eat me. For 5 years i believed that it hadn't been a dream, it had actually happened, and i wouldn't go into the garden alone.

When my brother was lttle he was always scared to look out a window at night because he thought that the emperor from star wars was waiting outside the window to shock him. Weird.

When I was 6 years old a fellow student told me that Gremlins were haunting me and the only way to get them to stop was to go to Jupiter and complete a deadly maze. Somehow I figured myself that if i was near my stuffed cat "Tiger" I would be safe. This went on for about 6 months but gradually i became less and less scared.

when i was about 4 i lived in this house with hollow stairs. after my dad tucked me in to bed i would hear this loud stomping (my dad goin down the stairs) and thought it was a t-rex comin up the stairs and if i didnt go to sleep it would kill me. duh..

I used to belive in Father Christmas. Even than I have some thoughts that he don't exist I couldn't believe. Why? The answear is simple. I just couldn't imagine whence my parents had money for all those wonderful presents.
However, even now I think that Father Christmas exist.. in our dreams :)

when i was around 7 i found out that my mom would go get my presents from my grandmothers house on christmas eve when i asked her about it she said that santa wanted to save time and just give them to my grandma early cause santa knew we were always good. well i was outraged at this and then i shouted "grandma is cheeting on grandpa and she is having an affair with santa!!" i cried for a long while and i didnt talk to my grandma when we went over to her house on christmas morning but then she gave me my present from her and things were fine. but for the longest time i thought my grandma was doing santa clause!

When i was a little girl, i buried myself in the sand-box, and also had my friends bury me. My parents told me that the Sand Monsters were going to pull me under the sand one day when i was buried, and i beleived them. i was so scared. for almost a month after that, i wouldnt even go near the sand. then my older sister told me the truth, i was furious!

When I was five, we had a housefire. We lost everything. Wen the firemen were fighting the fire, my mom, baby sister and I were in the chief's car. My mom says that I said I knew how the fire started. "A dragon flew over and breathed down the chimney." Hey, I was five!

I used to believe…

Obviously when I was little I believed in Santa Claus.... but this was reinforced by our living near an Air Force Base. On Christmas eve, my dad waited until a plane flew over our house without landing lights on yet, and then called us over to point out Rudolph's blinking red nose (the anti-collision red light on the belly of the plane). Real proof!

When I was little I had an imaginary friend named Junglerye, but the thing was he would only be with me when we went to Disneyland; especially on the Jungle Ride.

When I was little I used to be scared about putting lost teeth under my pillow. The idea of the tooth fairy coming into my room and going under my pillow really frightened me.

I used to believe that if you went past a mirror in the dark, a bloody woman would be there staring at you and if you made eye contact with her, she would jump out and drag you into the mirror world. I would always refuse to look at a mirror if I went past one in the dark. I think I got this from "bloody mary" stories that kids told me when I was little.
