under my bed

does anyone remember the crash test dummies that had commercials that told you to wear your seatbelts? i always feared those dummies, i thought they were under my bed or would come get me!

oh no!

I used to think that this scary guy lived under my bed and he was mad because someone had stolen his toe. I thought he would come out from under the bed and kill me if i wasnt asleep!

When I was in fourth grade, I use to imagine that if I let my hand hang down over the bed, some cute 13 year old bad boy would come out, and I would then naturally reform him into a good boy. We would fall in love and get married. I was just a little bit romantic

I used to believe that the monsters under my bed could only see shapes, not actual things. So at night I would pile a bunch of stuffed animals at one end of the bed, and they lie out as flat as possible on the other end, hoping the monsters would eat my toys and not me!

Cotton-Eating Monsters

I used to believe that there were scorpions under my bed,and if i moved around too much they would come up the side of my bed and attack me.

When I was little, and my mattress would start to squeak, and i thought that there were little tiny people that worked inside of my bed with hammers and that they were fixing my bed and that was what was making all of the noise. I once went downstairs late at night and i told my mom and dad that the people inside their bed must be working pretty hard to fix it because it was making alot of noise!

My step-sister told me, recently after mom and I moved in with my step-family, that there were eyeballs under the bed and if I didn't jump out of bed, they would bite my toes off... I'm not entirely sure how eyeballs would bite...

I used to watch a lot of Winnie the Pooh with my little sister, and in one episode, Christopher shoves all his stuff under his bed and it gets sucked down into a place where toys that were left under the bed ruled. Of course, my little sister was afraid that her toys would become evil and always insists on cleaning up underneath her bed and mine to save them. Ahhh...gotta love children.

I once (like 7-11) believed that there were two monsters under my bed, they were scary but dumb. My bed had a good crawling space underneath it so ANYTHING could fit under there. Anyways, those two monsters only went under my bed at night, so every bedtime I ran and *~JUMP~*ed onto my bed so as the monsters wouldn't grab my ankles.

Also, I made up arguments between the two monsters so they would be too distracted to see me. Silly me. Those days are over now!

i used to believe that there was a big slimy monster under and on the top bunk of my bed and that if i got out of the covers it would grip me and eat me .

Thanks to a mix of the series V and an Star Wars action figure (that I still have!), I used to believe that each night an alien with tentacles hanging from his mouth would appear next to my bed. I would lie on my stomach and bend my knees so my feet were up, which would create a bulge in my sheets that was actually supposed to be an alien spy that was reporting on what I'd been up to. The tentacle-mouth alien would talk further with the spy, not knowing the spy was really me.

When I was young I always kept carefull watch when I went to bed, because "the monsters" could get to you if you weren't looking. If I wanted to sleep on my side I had to build a baricade of stuffed animals to protect my back.

wide awake

When I was about 5, I saw a Chunkie movie. My mom loved china dolls, so my room had a collection of them. I wouldn't go to sleep because I was scared my dolls would come alive and try to kill me. The funny thing is, that I though the monster under my bed was jack, from the night before christmas and that he fought the dolls when I was asleep to protect me....

Growing up in Southern Louisiana my siblings, cousins, and I always heard stories about different types of animals that would come get you if you wouldn't go to sleep (mostly at my grandpas). well i have a cousin who is 6 months younger than me and we would always wake up the other one if we had to go to the bathrrom or somethin so that the "betiis" (pronounced bay-ties) wouldn't come get us!

scared silly

When I was little i used to run and jump on my bed because i thought aliens lived under it. If i had to go to the bathroom during the night i would stand up on my bed and jump as far out as i could. Needless to say when signs came out i freaked.hahaha

Brynn

You know when you wake up from a sudden jerk, that causes your body to jump? Well I used to believe that those were monsters under my bed, that used to poke me. Only to keep me up all night, so I don't sleep.

Becky

When I was about 5, i thought that there were monsters ON TOP of my bed. I was so scared that when my parents went to sleep, I crawled under my bed so the monsters couldn't get me.

When I was 5 we moved house and I had a huge bedroom. Though it was so big tonnes of the space were never used. One night I must have been playing with some tennis balls or something because there were about 10 of these creatures on my floor!

Without the light they looked hell scary. I stopped sleeping on my bottom bunkbed... 8-D

When I was younger I thought that there was an evil old, groty creature lived under my bed although only at night and sometimes it was Chuckie. I though he would reach his had up from under the bed and try to kill me. So I always had my bed in the corner so at least he couldn't get me from those two sides. Then I would line up all my stuffed animals on the remaining sides to keep him out.

when i was little i used 2 believe that there was a monster under my bed and that if i didnt feed it every morning and every night it would creep up on me when i was sleeping and kill me. i called it the "food monster". my mom went crazy trying 2 figure out where all the cereal and left-over meat loaf went. 1 day i was talking 2 my sister and i told her i was worried that it was going to kill me because i had forgotten 2 give it breakfast 1 day. she could not stop laughing and she hasnt let me forget it 2 this day. every time i annoy her she says "remember the food monster?"
