monsters

When we were kids, we believed in a "BogeyMan", who hid in dark spaces (Like under the bed, at bedtime, leding to some fantastic acrobatics to get safely into bed, after turning out the room light switch)

Well, nowadays, I believe the "Hannibal Lector" stories to be about a "BogeyMan" for the Late Teens.
This character essentially says: "If you don't get out there, take the world's challenges on, & _MAKE_ something of yourself, then you're a passive "LOSER", due to be exploited by someone who's going to cheat you out of MORE than just your money ..."
"There is no room for self-pity at my table, Clarice ..."

I used to believe that well one time I rented a seseme street movie and it had a segment where ernie and bert went to tis pyramid and saw a mummy that looked like them and ernies was alive well i had fixed in my little head that *pyramid ernie* lived in the attic off my room and when i slept he watched me from behind my bed and if i stepped on the pink fuzzy stuff on the floor of the attic it would be this endless hole type thing and pyramid ernie would grab my foot and pull my foot down there

•When I was a Little girl my mom told me not play in the Street at night because she said I was going to see the elf and then when it was dark I would go quickly to the because I was to the house because I was afraid that I would appear.
•When I was a child, my mother said to watch a lot of television, because she thought that if I watched a lot of television I would go blind, so when I watched a lot of television and my eyes felt tired, I was scared because I thought I would go blind.

when i was little i used to believe zombies existed and that when you dead you turned into a zombies , you turned green and you ate brains . At night as i was falling asleep , i dreamed that zombies were coming to my house to eat me and my family and when i woke up , i cried and had chills all over me . One night when i woke up crying , my parents told to me that the zombies didn't exist .
