I used to believe that those "smelly markers" were made from flavoured juice, and sucked on quite a few of the tips only to realize that they didn't taste anything like they smelled!
Mojo!

I used to be certain that if my parents would go up and look in our crawl space, they would find a playhouse for me up there. I imagined it as a sort of flat yellow plastic bundle, but when my parents set it up in our front yard it would be quite big, with multiple rooms, and even a refrigerator, and I would be able to live there.
I also used to stare at my mother's sewing machine, thinking if I just knew which levers to push, gumballs would come out. But I knew she would yell at me if I touched it, so I never tried.

When I was little, my dad informed me that our garage had black widow spiders in it, and I thought that when I turned off the garage light and went back into the house, millions of spiders would come pouring out to get me.
I had a lot of issues as a kid, the best I think, was that a magical genie lived in the wall above my bed and would try to kidnap me while I slept. To stop him I would pile all my stuffed animals on top of the covers and sleep under them so he would get them, not me. But then I couldn't sleep 'cause it was too hot under there.

when i was little we had a very unreliable vacum cleaner. My mum would say that the vacum had sucked a kumara so of course i thought our vacum was full of kumaras

When I was a child I used to believe that stand up pianos actually told jokes as well as playing music.

From the time my poor abused brain could absorb knowledge, my mother told me that Pine Sol (mopping kitchen floor) would eat the skin off my feet if I walked on it. Yeah... I believed that till I was 18. Made sense, though, for something that smells like that.

My sister told me that White-Out (the Liquid Paper brand) was for when you ran out of paper and needed more. You just poured some White-Out on the table and you had a new sheet of paper.

I used to believe that tiny monsters lived inside electric wall outlets.
I believed this because I once stuck my finger in an outlet and one of the monsters bit me.

I remember seeing a film of lobsters underwater on Sesame Street. The claws and legs really freaked me out. Somehow I decided that it was a picture of what lived behind our walls in our house (especially near light switches), so I was scared to touch the walls.

As a child I was convinced that the furnace only came on when someone walked past a certain point in the house (namely the entrance to my bedroom hallway). When I heard it come on at night I was sure that it was ghosts or someone else in the house.

As a child, i used to believe that all inanimate objects were either male or female, for exapmle, forks were female, and spoons and knives were male. I also had different "degrees" of male and female, even before I knew about people being gay. Numbers, for instance: one was kind of ambiguous, two was male, three was male, four was female, five was male, six was female, seven was male, eight was female, nine was female but very masculine!!!! Must be the OCD in me!!!

When I was 4 to 6 years old I used to believe that chickens lived in the attic, and the Boogeyman lived in the basement

When I was little I used to believe that when you moved out of your house, you switched houses with the family that moved into your old house. And that homeless people were people no one switched houses with.
Kat
I used to sit in front of the window unit air conditioner to get cool & I used to believe that a little mouse lived inside & he wore a plaid vest & a little round hat. I was convinced I would see him if I stared long enough.

When I was a kid, my Mom told me that spring was right around the corner, so I went outside and looked... right around the corner of our garage
I used to think there was a secret passage in the house that led to another floor where my parents kept all thier secrets from the past.
When I was 2 I just HAD to have my pacifier all the time, my babysitter was trying to get me to stop using it all the time and so she took it when I wasn't looking and when I noticed it was gone she told me that the "angels" took it and god would be mad if I used it becasue I was a "big girl" so I sat up on my bed the rest of the day telling the "angels" in my room that I didn't like them and they were mean.

When I was a young boy, I used to believe that the Stove wanted to eat me.

In electric blankets you can feel places where there are connetions in the wires (I don't really know what purpose they serve). Anyway, I was convinced these were penises and that I was sleeping with three of them every night. I never found it that disturbing, just odd that they'd put penises in electric blankets.
