monsters

My whole childhood, all the way up until I was probably about eight or nine, every night when I would be lying in my bed trying to fall asleep, if I was laying on my side and the side of my face on my pillow, like if my ear was facedown on the pillow, and I could hear my heart beating...well, I didn't know that it was my heart beating, I thought it was the sound of this army of monsters marching to come and take me and my family away and hurt us and the only way to prevent them from coming was to not lay on my ear like that, so basically, it would be prevented if I couldn't hear them marching.

I used to believe that the monsters of the world couldn't get you if the lights were on. I had a very different idea of monsters back then. I always imagined them as creatures. Little did i know that monsters really do exist, they are just really horrible people!

I used to be too scared to go paddling in the sea because i thought the loch ness monster and its babies (yes, babies!) would come and eat me.
which was silly because its in scotand and i was in miami.

if you are the loch ness monster or it's babies and are reading this, PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!

I used to beleive that there were monsters in my closet like most kids but if i had my light on in the closet they could not see but if the light was off they could see. When they couldn't see it was like they were paralyzed so they could not get me.

When I was a kid, I used to believe there was a monster under my bed and he was going to eat my foot when I slept.

When I was younger, I used to think that if there was any light during the night, a monster would spy me

After watching the horror movie Humanoids From the Deep when I was 6, I thought they would come out of the nearby lake and come kill me. I was relieved when I remembered how long it took to drive to the lake and I figured it would take them a long time to walk to my house.

When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I spent a lot of time with my neighboors. One night when they had a babysitter, he told me that I had to hurry home, because my parents were kidnapped by monsters, and only I could save them. Of course I ran home, and I was terrified to go into the livingroom where my parents were sitting! It took me a long time to be with my neighboors again when the babysitter was there too!

My parents said that If i did not go to bed on time, the boogie man would come after me

I thought that there were monsters (Particularly Freddy Kruegar) hiding under any object that I would sit on just waiting to grab me. I stay still for hours fearing that if I moved they would kill me. When I couldn't stand sitting still any longer I would jump as fast and as far as I could off the couch or bed and run to where ever I could to feel safe.

When my brother was 8 years old, he saw a horror movie, with a man with red eyes that stole the mind of others and leaved their brains smooth.
From that moment, for the next 3-4 years, he couldn't sleep or stay at night with the light off.

I used to believe that Dracula would come and bite me in the night unless I had my duvet wrapped tightly round my neck all night - it made for some warm summers!

The lake at the end of my street had a water monster in it. My very old, very credible neighbor told me so.

My best friend in first grade told me all about the dragons in China, and i believed him up until the summer before middle school. I am so ashamed.

When I was little, I believed that monsters came out when the lights are off and dissapeared when the light turned on. For about a year, I always opened the door a crack, then use a stick to turn on the light before going in!

"someone"

there was this little gnome that lived in my house and he came out at night. he evn had a little door next to the front door. one time i came out of my room at night cuz i have insomnia an still do an i saw a shadow from the kitchen which looked like my cats but i saw my cats were in the living room with me and my room was next to the kitchen so i was afraid and couldnt go back to my room all night. 7 hours of waiting in fear sux so much, but i got patience!

at my groandmother's houre there was always this wicker chest type thing that sat in the living room. you could see into it, but not very well, so whatever was in there just looked like shadows. for the longest time i beleived that a devil type creature lived in there, until i was about 8 and my curiosity got the better of me and a opened it.
