the best of monsters
I used to think there were monsters living inside the walls. This belief was validated when I stuck a key in an electrical outlet.

I lived in Ireland when I was young and my older cousins used to visit from England. One of them told me that the lion statues on the gates to Buckingham Palace came to life during a full moon and ran around England eating people. Imagine my reaction when a few months later my Mum told me we were moving to England - I was so scared and begged her not to send me to my death!
When I was little, I always had to have a nightlight on in my room. My parents thought I was just afraid of the dark, but I always had to correct them. It wasn't the DARK I was scared of, it was the SHAPES that moved in the dark, so I had to sleep with the nightlight on so the shapes would go away when they got near the light.
It wasn't until I was older that I realized with the light OFF, there weren't any shapes at all. I still can't sleep with any light on.
When i was very little i used to believe a monster lived under the floor boards. I would feed the moster left over dinner through the gaps in the floor boards so its a wonder we didn't get rats.
Until i was six i believed there were these furry red things called oogly googlies that hid in forests and fields. i drew pictures of them and showed my dad, who told be about them. Then as my dad was drving, he jolked and said he saw one. Trying to be cool, i said: "Hey! I saw it too! wasn't it cute?"
I believed (mostly in dreams) that strange
looking clouds would descend at night and turn into dragons.
I used to believe in a big monster that came in my bed. I was very afraid.
I used to believe that on halloween day my friends really transformed in to monsters and in the night they went in my bed to eat me !!!
I used to believe that in the forest behind our house there were werewolves. One time me and my best friend went out to the woods (to convince me there were no werewolves), we got 1/4 into the woods, heard a noise to our left, saw a shadow where the noise was! we ran home.
I told my parents what happened. They said it probably was a werewolf. I never went back into the woods. Before we moved,they told me they made up that werewolf stuff just to keep me from the woods because there was something in those woods. Scary Part: they told me that what we saw and heard was probably a murderer hiding in the woods because they saw a man just outside of the woods wanted for murdering.

I used to believe the masks people wore on carnival days were their actual faces. I didn't like this.
At the mall in my hometown, there were occasionally doors along blank walls and someone told me that monsters lived behind them, and that if you stayed in the mall until after dark, the monsters would come out and accuse you of shoplifting so they could have an excuse to eat you.

One day I answered the phone and the person on it told me he was the boogie man. It was my dad. I believed him, freaked out, and had a phone phobia for years.
I thought that you could never lay on the opposite side of your bed (feet where head go and head where feet go) because I believe that there was a Alligator that wore a purple jacket and carried a brief case walked down my driveway, and then came into my room and bit my head off. Sad, I know
till i turned 12 i thought that an evil scarecrow followed me around every where i went but when i tried to find him he would just hide behind and under things. i also believed that he couldnt be in any type of light, so i had many different types of night lights till i got over this.
After seeing the movie, "Little Shop of Horrors" I named every plant in the house "Audry Two." I believed that plants really DID like blood, so every time I got a cut, I would let the blood drip onto our dying Basil plant. Eventually the plant died.
( I also wouldn't go to the dentist for a while...)
When i was about five i had a really scary dream i thought this charactor from a video game came turned into an aligator and was swimming in my backyard that turned into a lake he ate my flesh off the bone and my shoe. Then i woke up i checked to see if my shoe was still there then i slept with my shoes in my room for about 3 months
When I was little, I used to believe (along with all the other kids on my street) that the Boogey Man was a monster made out of green, slimy, disgusting boogers. He didn't live in our closets, but underground. If you were outside, you'd have to be careful and watch for a large lump under the dirt tunneling after you. If he got close enough, he'd reach his hand up through the earth, grab you, and drag you under. We always thought we saw him coming for us, and we'd all freak out and run home as fast as we could, screaming at the top of our lungs.
I used to be utterly freaked out by the dark. I would stand at my room door, flick off the switch and run as quick as my little legs could take me to the living room where mummy and daddy were watching television. I knew I could not turn back, or trip, or be slow as the skeletons chasing me would catch up and eat me.
My sister convinced me that a monster was trying to claw it's way out of the little attic door in my bedroom. I would lay there at night with the covers pulled over my head hoping that it wouldn't see me.
