Absurb things that terrified us when we were younger.

I had lots of things that scared me, in my school we had this little shed at the top of the playground, thinking back it was just like a normal garden shed, but we all used to look though the keyhole as we were convinced there was a witch inside there, and if she didnt like us there was a rumour that she would blow into our eyes and turn us blind, so you would get dared to look through it, but then you would be afraid to go to sleep that night incase you couldnt see anything in the morning. I also saw a bit about aliens on tv, I wasnt meant to be watching it but just came down to get a drink and saw a few minutes, I dont know whether it was a film or a show but they had this man strapped down and was spraying something in his eyes, then put this huge needle into his eye, from that moment on I was convinced that the aliens would come and get me in the night, I actually used to sleep with a knife from our kitchen drawer under my pillow, and then in the morning had to hide it so that my mother wouldnt find it. I used to wake up with little cuts on my hands from where my hands had gone under the pillow while I was sleeping. I also at one point though that there was a ghost in the attic, and that it was coming through the ceiling and into my bedroom. So yeah guess you could say that I was scared of some things when I was younger lol! Ive only just recently told my parents about keeping a knife in my room, thankfully they thought it was funny and not strange that their daughter used to sleep with a knife under her pillow lol!

I had a Wendy House in my bedroom and at night, I was convinced there was some kind of monster in there. I was also scared of the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz, the Child Catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the Cybermen in Doctor Who!

I was born in 1990, so maybe some of you have not heard of Peter Rabbit. But in this movie there was a farmer called Mr. McGregor who chased down the rabbits and tried to kill them. He was the scariest villain I knew. Laying in my bed I was terrified and had nightmares about him on a nightly basis. As I fell asleep I thought I heard his footsteps trudging around. Now I realize that those noises of footsteps was actually my own heartbeat. As I got more fearful and nervous, McGregor only ran faster (my heart beating more rapidly). I don't know how I got over it but for years I forced my parents to sit in the hallway outside my room until I fell asleep.

When I was in kindergarten, I had to pass by this sidewalk that was a few inches taller than normal. Back then I would have to be assisted, or I had to sit on the sidewalk and help myself up/down just to get through. I always felt that if I didn't, I would land on the pavement and get myself killed. Now I pass by that same place, I laugh and remember those moments. Now I can just jump right through without hurting myself. Also, there was this hype on trolls back in the day (which is what, ten years ago?). They said if you put one near your window before you go to sleep, they will come alive and something bad happens. It always scared me, and I remember my siblings using that to have fun. Of course dolls are dolls, but they still scare me sometimes.

Clowns. I was sh!t scared of clowns as a child. I don't know where the phobia came from but every time I saw a clown I'd scream bloddy murder. I couldn't even watch "Bozo". Actually, I'm still afraid of clowns...

i think the one thing that terrified me when i was younger was the shadows of the trees, especially after noon where the shadows look like terrifying monsters on streets.. it's really funny to recall that.

I can't think of anything at the moment but i remembered that my cousin was frightened by Goofy before. 2 years ago, when she was only 5 years old, we visited Disney Land in Hong Kong and we stayed in the Disney Hotel. During one of the evenings, Goofy was walking around shaking hands with little kids. My cousin was initially excited, but when he turned to her, she immediately cried and ran off. In years to come, I'm sure that she will think that it's absurd to be scared of Goofy.

I do recall when I was a kid,I had a closet with a hole through it.I used to think there was someone in my closet peeking out at me through the hole in it.I was scared of the closet.I was also scared of this ugly hideous "Cher" doll that my aunt bought me.She had the creepiest look on her face,so I whipped it into the closet and leaned a chair up against the door,so "Cher" couldn't get out.It's so funny when I think of it now.LOL

There are a lot of things that scared me when I was a kid. My older brother used to scare me with monsters inside the closet or under the bed. I always left the lights on whenever I'm about to sleep cuz I was too scared to turn them off. There also was that candle thing where you have to hold the candle at 12 midnight and say something in front of the mirror. If you did it right then you'll see something in the mirror. That's about all of it, I guess. If I remember anything else I'll go back here and post.
