I used to believe that everyone had invisible strings tied to them. If you didn't leave a room through the same door you entered it, your string would wrap around the house and get tangled. Eventually, you'd get so tangled up that you couldn't go anywhere.

When we got our first TV with a remote, I thought that the remote was a replacement for the buttons on the TV itself just incase they broke.

When I was little I always went to my grandma's house while my mom was at work. My grandma has this 'candy drawer' in her kitchen and she would always have candy in there. Sometimes I would sneak into the kitchen and grab a couple Hershey Kisses and put them in the garbage can so the garbage man could have some candy too! I also poured pop into there...incase he was also thirsty.

When I was 2 or 3, and still in a crib, I saw little pink&purple(my fav.colors then) dots all around me, and I thought they were little things protecting me. I finally realized at age 11 that it was just of the lighting in my room.

When I was about four, my mom figured that it was safe to take out those plastic things that cover electrical outlets. One day, I had my Little Mermaid tent set up and wanted to play with my Barbies in between the tent and the wall. Sadly, though, there was an outlet on that wall. I was freaking out and thought I would get electricuted. I thought being electricuted meant that lightning would come out of the outlet and shock you. So, I wanted to plug up the hole and could only gind metal bread twist ties. Let's just say I learned that metal and electricity are not a good match.

My mom had one of those infamous Home Interior's pictures of a mailbox in a field with a brown bird sitting on it. For some reason, it always looked like a arched headed monster that creeped me out until my teen years when she took it down.

when i was young, i had a foam rubber pillow (my preference, everybody else in the family had feathers). the pillow had internal voids and ribs (sort of like egg packaging), and i thought that this was the body of a huge, dead spider. for some unknown reason, this did not terrify me!

My dad went to Japan before I was born. He brought alot back with him including plates and alot of wall art. Well when i was younger i would look at the wall art and be VERY afraid. I can't explain it, it might have been the pale woman holding umbrellas. I used to believe that I couldn't leave my room after the hall lights had been turned off or else these woman would jump out of their pictures, chase me down, and eat me.
I still remeber a few times sleeping under the couch in the living room because I hadn't gone to my room before the hall lights were turned off.
I once asked Santa if he could take the woman away. My parents were obviously confused. I still can't stand to look at them.

me and my friend both believed this when we were growing up together. we believed that a big rock that was in our backyard actually was a big gold nugget with rock over it. we spent a long time chipping the rock trying to get to the gold. my father just let us figuring it gave us somthing to do.

When I was around 4 or 5, I liked to peel the paint off of the walls. My mom told me that paint had lead in it, and I could get lead poisoning if I kept at it. I believed her until I was 14. I was afraid to touch the walls!

I used to think that when people moved, they switched houses and their belongings. I got scared when we had to move because I thought someone else would get all of my stuff.

Remember the Mr. Clean commercial where the woman mops the floor and then the Mr. Clean guy appears? I thought he was actually living in my kitchen floor, and I was always very careful when I walked around and if I was wearing a skirt I wrapped it around tightly so he couldn't look up it. I was scared to death of him but I always pressured my mom to buy the stuff so I could see if it was real.

I remember that when i was three or 4 my parents told me we were going to move. I pictured us driving away with our house tied to the top of the car. To my surprise, the house stayed where it was when we left.

When I was little, i thought that there was a little man in the attic that turned a crank above your room to make the fan spin. I thought that when you flipped the switch, he knew how fast to turn it, so I turned my fan off alot to give him a rest!

I used to think when i was going up the stairs that someone was following me so i used to speed up the stairs

I used to believe that there was someone hiding in our house. I didn't know where or who, but I always pictured the person as my friend Alexa. I was freaked out to be the first to go to bed at night, because I thought the person would be sneaking around in the dark.

My sister and I once played this trick on my brother. We weighed him on our scale, which was in our upstairs bathroom. Then we told him to go breath the air in the pantry downstairs. While he was down there, we turned this knob on the scale, which made it look like whoever stepped on it, weighed more. So my brother came up and weighed about 20 lbs. more. Then we got him to believe that if he breathed the air in the downstairs bathroom, then he would lose 20 lbs. and simply put the scale back to its normal setting. This went through several rounds before we told him.
