monsters

I had an extremely vivid imagination as a child and sometimes my friends caught the brunt of it. When i was about 5, i told the boy across the road that there was a grass monster who hid in our lawn, and you had to run him over with the [toy] lawnmower or else he would grab your ankles and drag you into the grass. And then you'd become a hedge :P He totally believed me, and was apparently really freaked out by it because his mum ended up coming over and asking me if i knew anything about it. Of course i feigned innocence.

When I was in elementary school, the gymnasium had a big vent-like thing over the basketball hoops. The gym teacher told us that a kissy monster lived up there and would blow kisses at us.

When i was young i used to think that there were monsters in the cupboard and i had to shut them up at night. Even today i have to shut the cupboard at night

I could never have my feet on the floor when the Dr.Who music came on because I thought the monsters from the programme could trace me

When I was four I became scared of robots and thought they wanted to freeze me. It's not true though, they really only want to rule the world instead.
