make-believe: aliens

When I was little, I thought my sister and parents were really aliens in disguise and they had a zipper in the back of them to change into their real selves at night. For this reason I used to sneak up on my sister and yell "I CAUGHT YOU" only to find her in her human skin.

I used to believe…

ha ha... i used to think that if i don't go to sleep before 12 o'clock, Alians would come and take me away. I always think that Alians are in a space ship that could become invisable and they were outside searching for kids that arn't asleep. The belief was gone when i was 7, it was horrobul!

When I was about five or so my dad had a friend who had a daughter who was sixteen. The daughter told me that if the wind was blowing, it meant there were aliens on the roof, and the wind was their spaceships' fans, and they were blowing to keep the machinery cool, like a computer fan. She said if I went outside when the wind was blowing the aliens would abduct me. I was terrified of this for years; my parents had to literally drag me out of the house if they wanted to go somewhere when it was windy.
Then one day I got up my courage and went to look for the aliens. The wind was blowing really hard, but when I looked up on the roof there were none. Then it hit me that I had been had.

I used to believe that the two television antennae on the mountain near my home were really the antennae of a giant Martian hiding behind the mountain. Why was no one else concerned?

I used to think aliens were going to come into my house and abduct me so I tied a rope around my ankle and attached it to the bed so they couldn't drag me out of the house in the middle of the night when I was asleep. I called it my "alien catcher."

When I was a kid my brothers used to play the War of the Worlds musical album. I can remember throughout the record the martians would scream "ulah" or something. I would be hiding under my blankets terrified that the martians were gonna land in the field behind our house and come and get me with the martian death ray. To this day it still gives me chill when I hear the beginning of the recording!

When i was 6 i would look out of the window every night (even today i still look out the window, it's soothing to me). One i saw all these lights in the sky, one every 2 mins. I was so convinced that these were alien aircrafts and so i scream, DAD WERE BEING INVADED BY ALIENS! QUICK DAD DO SOMETHING! My dad played along with it and didn't even think to explain to me what they really were. He told me if i went to go to sleep they wouldn't attack. I believed him and so i did. For years i believed that these lights in the sky were aliens out looking for me (for some odd reason) and so whenever i saw them i'd run to bed, i even had nightmares about this. It wasn't until i was 10 that i realised that they were airplanes coming into land at the nearby city airport. LOL

After watching MIB and seeing some little white thing in a man's, who was really an alien, ear, I saw a white hair in my dads ear and wondered if he was an alien.

When I was little I believed that my mom was controlled by aliens... But! only when she was sleeping, because when she woke up she made noises like in some alien language "benistein, mihme, duddaho, balkebla, dunstenan" really odd vocabulary. She says more than that, but those are the main words she says. The reason I remember is because she still mumbles when she wakes up...

At school when we were five our teacher got us to write letters to this alien and he always replied!! It was only years after that I realised that it must've been the teacher replying

i used to have a blow up alien it was about 4-ft like it was huge. one nite i got up to go to the bathroom and half asleep came bac to bed wen all of a sudden the alien stoodd up straight from the other side of my bed i cried my eyes out in terror then my mum jumped up laughin frm then on at nite i wld place the alien out side of my room at nite wen one day i finally burst because i was so scared of him

I used to believe…

from i was no age my mum and dad and also my sister told me that i was an alien and that they found me at the side of the road one day and felt sorry for me i didnt eblieve them at the start but when i was about 8 they were all keeping me goin at thedinner table i ran off crying because i belived i was an alien and needed some reasurence that i wasnt how culable was i hehe

When I was around 4 or 5 I used to watch a lot of Unsolved Mysteries and Rescue 911. As a consequence, before I went to bed every night I used to say this little prayer: "Dear God, please down let my cats die, please don't let the house burn down, and please don't let aliens abduct me."

When i was younger(6 i think) i was very paranoid about my mortality and i had watched x-files and the film 'Fire in the Sky' too many times. My bed was beneath a skylight and on a full moon i used to sleep down beside my bed on the floor. because i thought that the light beam might be the aliens, coming to beam me through my skilight.

I used to believe that fireworks were aliens in a galactic war, blowing eachother up. I never could understand for the life of me, why we would watch such carnage with awe?

I am 7 years old. I thought that a big moldy alien would come during the full moon and I thought if you weren't good at the piano the aliens would come and eat your head. So I stayed awake and whenever I heard a sound I would hide under my pillows. Now I know UFO are gone. Man I was weird!
