make-believe: monsters

when i was about 6 i used to get really scared when i was for example i was taking my T-Shirt off. For the split second that the T-shirt was over my eyes and i couldnt see i used to think i'd get grabbed by by those bicycle legged things from "Return to OZ".

When I was younger, my grandmother use to tell me that I needed to come in before it got dark. Otherwise, the boogeyman would get me. There was a field behind her house and I use to imagine dark shadows racing toward me when it started to get dark to take me away and never be seen again.

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

I used to believe…

ever since my cousin scared on halloween when i was little,i thought monsters and killers like jason or micheal was out there but when i was real little it was the grim reaper.

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.

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

when i was little and the the light bulb in my room burned out and my mom couldnt get me a new one, i was always soooooo scared that there was a monster or a ghost in my room so i always RAN to my bed before the monsters would get me.and one night i had thought that someone opened my closet door while i was sleeping so i was terrified!
