My friend believed for years that cheeseplants ate people. There was one at our school which she would run past every day, terrified. She is still bitter about this.
When the Northridge earthquake happened in '94 in California, afterwards when I was in my parents bed for the rest of the morning (cause I was really scared of the aftershocks and was tramatized lol), the aftershocks would happen and my mom would cough cause she had a cold at the time. Whenever my mom would cough after the aftershocks would happened, I was afraid that if she coughed again that would set off the aftershocks again.

My uncle convinced me that the morning fog looming over in the smokey mountains was caused by thousands of beavers making steaming cups of coffee.
