make-believe

I used to believe…

Every since I saw Interview with the vampire in like 2nd or 3rd grade, I've had a fascination, fetish, attraction to vampires, my mom just blew it off as an over active imagination, even though she's the one that showed me the movie. Well to this day I still have the same feelings if not stronger, and anytime I'm outside I stare at the sky and watch dark areas very carefully hoping one is watching me or wanting to take me away with him.

When I was in first grade. I had a dream that my sunday school teacher and the pastor from my church had my grandmother tied down to her bed, and that the pastor was a vampire and my sunday school teacher was his helper using tape and a marker to mark where he'd bite her at. The next day was Sunday and my granmother woke me up I checked her neck for bite marks or the tape, she laughed and blamed it on the goosebump movies. I was scared to go to sunday school the whole time I was in that class.

When I was little on my dad's farm I would get real scared when I heard a tractor coming. I thought that the tractors were all monsters that my dad and his hired hands were somehow controlling and that the Combine was their mother. When I heard them coming I would hide behind a tree and slowly scoot around the trunk so that as the tractor or combine passed me by, I would be on the opposite side of the tree as them. I also thought that I invented this little "tree-turn" technique.

When I was little, I had an imaginary friend named Jordan. me and Jordan went everywhere together, but one day he ran out into the street and was hit by a car. He just lay in the street bleeding and calling for help. I ran and got my mom, and begged her to take Jordan to the hospital. But alas, she didn't listen to me. I ran back outside and dragged him from out of the street, and he died in my arms. I was grief-stricken for at least a week.

I saw the Skeleton Key in theatres, and now I absolutely cannot look into mirrors at night, or by myself in a bathroom. Me and my siblings used to do light shows in an unlit bathroom with flashlights and colored cling wrap for fun, and now I can't do it anymore, for fear of "Bloody Mary". You're supposed to grow out of these fears, but I guess I grew into them.

I believed that our boiler room was a passage way between our world and the moster world. and at night the monsters would start marching from their world to our world, cause I could hear the boiler making noises..and I thought this was the sound of them marching. so every few hours, I'd get up and turn the bathroom light on, and that would scare them and they'd go running all the way back to monster world and have to start the long march again. So if I did that a few times throughout the night it'd mean they never got the chance to march all the way to our world....I finally stoped believing this when I was 9.

I thought imaginary friends were real. I thought that imaginary was just another word for insvisible, and that every kid had their own personal imaginary friend that no one else would see. So I was very upset that I didn't have one. So upset that I pretended to have one...she was like a imaginary imaginary friend..

Like many children I used to think there was a monster that lived in the cupboard under the stairs! then when we moved house there was no longer a cupboard! so the monster in that house lived in my bed! every night before I got into bed, I checked underneath the covers for the monster, a spider monster!!

i used to believe that vampires would come into my room at night and bite my neck. i had to sleep on my side with my hand covering my neck to stop them..... im 24 now and still sleep the same way.

When i was little i used to watch my dad play resident evil (a video game) everyday, i used to just sit there staring at it. untill i saw this one part with this HUGE snake that you had to kill and i got really scared of it. that night when i fell asleep at the middle of the night i guess i would get delusional and i would see a bunch of those snakes slithering around the bedroom all over the bed and i would scream to the top of my lungs. after that it happend for about 2 more nights but then i stopped.

I once told my little brother that when our house had been built one of the men working on it had fallen into the cement and drowned in it, and that his body was still under our house. I then proceeded with that this man haunted our house and looked out the window and pretended i saw him walking up the driveway. When I got older I would think on that and get scared when I was downstairs in the den by myself....just in case it was real.

a few months ago i went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. at that point i was a bit freaked. but when i closed the door i had had enough. but my bro thought it would be just "hillarios" if he LOCKED the door. and he said "�ll only let you out if you call her....you know...." then he whispered bloody mary. i knew he was scared too. so i whiped up the courage and started to say bloody mary. the third time i said it. i nearly died when i saw a collasal face in the mirror then i felt something in my arm it felt like needles. thats when my bro came in.*thank god the light was on in the hall* i looked at the mirror she was gone. i passed out. ever since alot of people around me have been dieing or been geting extreamly sick. but ill never forget the face on my brother when he came in and saw me on the floor. since then i never go in the bathroom with the lights off.

when iwas about 4 years old my dad read a book to me about a slug-type monster who eats off your toes if you hang your feet over the side of your bed.. well i completely beleived it until i was like 6 or 7.

i used to believe that if i study for a test and used the same pencil for studing that i used for the test, that the pencil would remember the answers and help me do good on the test.

I used to believe…

After seeing the film 'hocus pocus' when I was little, I was terrified of the fact a witch might try and suck the breath/life out of me when I was trying to get to sleep so whenever I felt scared I always held my breath so they couldn't

I used to believe…

After seeing this scary vampire film when I was little, I always covered my neck when I felt scared just in case a vampire would come behind me and bite me. It became a habit and now whenever I'm ever scared I automatically cover it
