monsters

if I drew a scary picture of a monster I used to have to cover it up with something heavy, like a book, in case it came alive and wanted to get me

As a child I was afraid of the deep end of the pool. I was a great swimmer. I always swam fine in a lake that was pretty deep, but I was convinced that sharks and piranna lived in the deep end of a pool. For some reason they mysteriosly dissipered when my parents swam with me.

I belived all through my childhood (up to 15) years that monsters could only eat me if I was awake,they hid under my bed and anytime they thought I moved they would come up to see if I was awake. This led to many wet beds as I woke up when I had to pee, but I was to scared that if I moved the monsters would come.

I used to believe that unless I sang a song about the saints, monsters would get me when I went up the stairs to my room, or my parents' room. Oddly, once I was actually upsatirs, it was fine. It was just on the stairs that they could get me. The song went like this: "I love the saints! I love peter, paul, luke..." enter as many names as it took for me get upstairs! The louder I sang, the safer I was. I wonder what my parents thought!

I live on a farm and I thought that if I went outside of my fence, trees would chase me down, and Once, my cousins told me that if I went outside of my fence at night, an old man with no legs would come out and eat me. I pictured a man lifting up the top of the silo and peeking out for little kids. Later on I thought about how he moved without any legs, and if he had a wheelchair, how could he get out of the top of the silo? Then I got daring and decided I could go outside of the fence at night, because even if that man was real, he couldn't run after me that fast without legs, or wheel fast on gravel. So i went out of the fence, and I swore I heard a loud clang, and I assumed it was the silo banging shut fast cuz he was coming, so I ran into the woods. Then I remembered...Evil Trees wanna kill me! so i just ran inside the fence, in the house, and turned all the lights on. I was home alone, to make matter worse. I backed myself into a corner so nothing could pop out behind me and I could see if something was coming. I sat there for about an hour, and I thought it was alright to get up, but as I did so, someone jiggled the door handle, and I thought it the the no legged man because it would have taken him a while to get to the door, so I sat in my corner and hoped he'd go away, but someone banged on the window, and I wet myself in the corner. I locked the doors, so my parents couldn't get in. They were laughing so hard that they didn't ground me for tinkling on their new carpet.

when i was little i told my little sister that if she turned the light of that the monsters from the dark would get her. so she would not turn out the light but my mum did and she was really scared.so scared that i came to believe my own lie so i would never turn the light out.

I used to believe if I held my breath, the scary monsters (in closets, under beds, in the basement) couldn't get me. This proved troublesome everytime I was called to dinner. i would leave my room, turn off the lights, and run like hell down the hall and the stairs, skidding into the kitchen gasping for air, I find I still hold my breath coming up from the cellar.

My Mom has a porcelin doll and she is one of the larger type. I thought and still do that the doll was plotting to kill me. I had trouble going into my parents room from the day she got the doll and still now. I always check to make sure their door is closed so she can't get out. One too many Chuckie movies I guess.

I used to believe that shadows were people trying to take over the world, and as the day went on they got bigger and bigger ( for all you idiots out there that means the sun was setting)I thought shadows were trying to raise an army.

I used to beleive that bigfoot lived across the street from me.

I used to believe that there were mosters who lived in the vents and if I stepped on the floor in the dark they would be able to get me. This belief was the result of a recurring nightmare I had when I was little and even though I know it's silly now I still have to have the lamp beside my ben on until I'm safely off the floor.

When I was younger, I used to tell my little sister(8 years younger than me)that the boogy-man was going to get her if she didn't do what I told her to do, it worked for as long as I can remember.

when i was younger my grandpa used to tell me that there was a monster named pig face and that he would sneak around at night and eat bad little kids or kiss them and turn them to dust.he also said that pig face smelled bad so every time we would smell something bad i would think it was pig face. i beleived that till i was about 11 but i was still a little frightened at night to go out in the dark.

My dad used to tell me that if I didn't eat all my dinner, then a monster would chase me around the house. I believed him for years.
