When my husband was little, he used to think lions lived under his bed. (his mom read him the book,"daniel in the lions den"(biblical story)and he would always make a runing dash flying almost, to get in to bed being sure not touch the floor! landing in his bed safe at night.still to this day, he won't hang any part of his body over the edge of the bed, or let his feet going a tad under the bed while standing.

I used to believe when I was 4-5 that etheopians lived under my bed and if i just kept feeding then they would not come out and eat my legs when I got up in the middle of the night. This believe came to an abrupt stop when my mother came to clean under my bed and saw all of the left over rotten food......

I used to think there was a big white eye living in the corner of my bedroom that would watch me all night & if I looked at it, it would wake up & look right at me. I had the 'I can' see you, you can't see me' rule applying...hide under the covers (even though I could barely breath) & try to fall asleep.

When i was young, i used to believ all the wrinkles in the bed sheet were snakes and if i stuck my foot out at night i would get bitten and die and i thought the big wrinkles were monsters.
i always slept curled up in a ball untill my mom told me there wasnt anything there.

Once before I fell asleep, I dropped one of my dolls. I didn't realize it had fallen off and I thought my mattress had sucked it in. I was so scared to drop any of my dolls ever again. At times, I was sure the mattress would swallow me too if I got in when the lights were out.

When I was 7 I used to check my closet and under the bed to see if any robbers were hiding in there before I went to sleep.

ur mom

my daddy told me when i was real little that there were aligaters under my bed and that they would bite my feet if i got up at night so i never did for a long time and when it was time to potty train me i got spanked because i always wet the bed :(

I used to think that spiders would come out of the shower!

After I was in bed for the night I could not get up and touch the floor or monsters would get me. mom or dad had to come in and turn on the light if i had to get something.

When I was 8, I was convinced the Daleks were going to come out from under my bed and get me!

When I was little, I usted to believe that there were monsters under my bed and T jumped on my bed but I fall back somewhere else.

When I was 4/6 I used to always just leave my stuffed animals around my bed, and at night when I tried to go to sleep I would try really hard to not look beside or under my bed. If I did look under my bed (remember I always left my stuffed animals there) I would imagine that their eyes were glowing red and I would keep expecting them to jump at me, I was the kind of kid that believed in lots of stuff

When I would go to bed, I'd lie down quickly and shut my eyes. I did that because I thought the monsters would only get you i4f you were awake and there would be two tiny ones watching you, waiting to call the bigger ones if they saw you were awake.

I also used to believe that when I heard sounds under my bed, something was under it and was going to grab me through the matress with its long fingers and hands.

another belief kindly handed to me by my older sister was that animals (don't ask why animals) watched people through uncurtained windows at night. i used to be so scared of the skylight outside my room! but i did get my own back - i would wake my sister up when i needed the toilet cos i was too scared to go by myself!

rosie

i used to believe there was this man underneath my bed with this sword just waiting to get out from underneath at night and cut my head off in my sleep. so always i would put this doll with her head on the pillow and go sleep at the end of the bed myself. but i would get so warm and so tired fighting my sleep at the end i would get my own head on the pillow instead of the doll thinking let him cut of my head....i am too tired .i rather be dead then just feeling like this.i was always amazed waking up in the morning my head still being on.

I used to believe there was a crocodile under my crib, waiting to eat me. I can still remember standing up in my crib, crying for my dad to come save me from the crocodile. This must have been one of my earliest memories, as I can't have been more than one and a half or two years old.

Laura

I used to think that as long as you were covered up at night, no monsters could eat you. I was sure that if I left even one foot uncovered, it'd be taken right off. There were nights in July & August when I'd be roasting, but I still covered up!

Missy

Whn I was little I would sleep without any cover on me..so I would often get sick.One day I saw that my mom had a little cut at her leg.When I asked her what happened she said that "The Old Lady" cut her.So I found out that if you sleep with your feet not covered, an old lady will come and cut your fingers with a razor.Today,I can't sleep without something to cover my toes.

When my sister and I were little, we called every area that was dark and scary "Crocodile Creek" after seeing Peter Pan, especially the area between our beds. I have to have my feet and hands on the mattress to this day, or at least have them wrapped in a sheet to protect them from the crocodile and/or Captain Hook.

Terry

When I was about 6 years old, I got the idea that something resided under my bed. I never knew exactly what I thought it was, some kinda monster/ghost/zombie thing . . .
Anyway, I used to sleep with my hands under the pillow and I got it in my head that by doing so, I was exposing my hands to whatever it was under my bed. I trained myself to sleep with my hands by my side.
