around the house

We used to have a creepy painting in our basement of a lady in black leaning on a railing. I Never wanted to go by the painting because her eyes would follow me and she would get me. We have now moved away from that house and the painting is still there.

In my house is a crawl space. Its a little panel on the wall by the floor. You unscrew it and go down under the house. We store old junk down there and I've never been down there, only my parents have. In the back is a huge black panther statue. I used to think I wasn't allowed down there because the Panther would eat me.

When I was about 3, I had a fear of ceiling fans. I guess I thought they might fall down and slice me up or something.

When I was about 4, I was frightened of a pillow case with weird looking flowers on it, the flowers looked like little aliens...

I was special.....

I used to believe(6) that a nail in my bedroom wall,that had been painted but still had a piece of string hanging on it, would kill me if I ever touched it. We eventually moved house, but, would you believe there was another nail on the wall looking just as creepy. I never touched either.

I have never got over the childhood habit of giving personalities and emotions to inanimate objects...I feel really sorry for cars on scrap heaps, bald Christmas trees that nobody wants, etc...just typing this made me want to cry!!

When I was a kid, I used to think that "wall to wall carpeting" meant that a room had carpet everywhere - on the floor, the walls, and the ceiling.

I always wanted to see a room with wall to wall shag carpeting.

I used to think that if you had a garage sale that meant you were selling the garage!

We lived in a victorian house with a 3rd floor attic with a catwalk around the outside of the house. My mother didn't want me on the roof so she told me if I fell off the roof I would turn into guacamole dip. How twisted is that? Pretty twisted since I believed that all my childhood.

When I was about twelve, my family moved into a new house that had a bit of a dirty slough running through the backyard. My younger brother (10 or so at the time) was fascinated by the slough. That is, he was, until I told him that the slough was the source of our drinking water. He believed me for two years.

When my great grandmother was alive, she lived in an old home with one of those wells with the bucket on a rope. My mother used to tell us that a man named Baggy Eyes and Bloody Bones lived in the well, and if we got too close he would get us. It kept my cousins and me from getting too close and falling in. To this day, I have a terrible fear of those wells.
