When i was a little girl,my brother had a black,plastic turtle that i was scared of.He did`nt like me to play with it,so he said that if i lost it on the floor,he would grow up,get alive and eat me.I belived that for a long time....

My parents have two ventriloquist dolls, Charlie Mc Carthy and Howdy Doody, which they keep in their guest bedroom. One of my favorite shows used to be the "Twilight Zone". Now whenever I visit my parents house for the weekend, I have to take those dolls out of the guest room before I will sleep in there. I keep thinking that the dolls will start talking on their own or something weird like that. My son won't sleep in there with them either.

When I was little I had a few video's I used to love and one day my brother was so sick of them he broke one and left one on the radiator so the tape went all brown and crusy. When i found out I was really upset, and even more so when my brother told me that it was the boogie monster that did it, as his way of marking me so he could come back later and get me!

I went downstairs one night, when my dad was asleep on the couch, and there was a furry stuffed animal, peach colored, next to his hand. I believed that he turned into a werewolf at night.

Thanks to my dads devil lock i used to believe that the boogi man was green was covered completely in tatoos and had a devils lock. He killed you by whipping his devils lock at your neck and chokes you to death

As one of the most common fears between children is the dark, I used to believe that while i was sleepin these sort of shadow monsters would come out of every dark corner and shadowy area to come into my dream and steal my good thoughts. So I used to lay staring into the darkness refusing to go to sleep. I also remember that at one point i started sleeping with the lamp on so it would brighten the room up but the corners were still dark so i used to go and steal my mum and dads torches and put them in evry corner! This way i new i was safe And fell fast asleep!

I used ot blieve that dracula would come and get me wen i turnt the landing light off. So i used to run to the stairs feelin scared yet as if someones watching me and i used to jump down the last couple of stairs and run to my mum acting as if nothing had happened!

The world was full of unexplained perils. There was a blue cow that lived behind the glass shower door. Dad said so. Cedric and Jessica were the invisible ghosts who opened and closed the back door on a windy day. They were good ghosts, but mischievous. The worst, however, were the nightmares. I remember waking up screaming (and my parents remember it too) after dreaming about the Bull-dort, a horrible giant warthog with killer tusks. He rapaged throught the dark forests of my mind.

When I was younger I used to believe that if you hid under the sheets you were same from the monsters, they couldn't get you!

This one isn't about me, it's about my brother. When he was about 8 or 9 his mom told him that if he didn't sleep with his hands and feet under the covers (he had a bad habit of throwing off the covers) they would be eaten by the boogy man.

I used to think that there were these wierd black imp things living in our house. I used to think they were evil and did bad things. When someone did something bad i thought that an imp had possesed them and made them do it. Then when I turned 9 and started playing UT 2003, I pretented that i would shoot them with guns and that was the only way to kill them. I also thought that the can of whoop-ass was a huge bomb and would kill all the imps. From then on I searched endlessly for the can of whoop-ass. Then I got my hands on a can of beans without a wrapper. I opened the can and ate it all. Then i pretented I had Godly powers and could kill the imps by poking them.

THis is a story my mate Tracy told me: When she was little and wouldn't eat up or tidy her room, her older brother would tell her that the GIBLETS would come after her if she didnt do as told. It took many years before she realised that GIBLETS were the insides of Poultry.She thought they were huge monsters!! Bless

When I was little I hated scary movies and never would watch because I saw part of pet semitery and it made me believe for the longest time that there was dead people under my house and was gonna come to life and get me while i was sleeping

I used to believe that when I slept alone in my bed, bicho-papão (boogeyman) would pull my foot.

I used to think if you didn't use a blanket when you went to sleep monsters would get you.
