under my bed

When I was eight I believed that everything you see in tv programmes were real-so when I was flicking through channels and saw a girl grabbing her bedroom door as she was being sucked under the bed I blocked the space under my bed so the "boogie man " wouldn't get me!!

My little sister used to believe that transformer land was in our bedroom cupboard and that if you went in there at night you wouldn't be able to get back out again. She also believed there was a hippo under her bed. I can't imagine where she got that idea from...

When I was a child my room had brown carpet and the hallway had green carpet. I used to believe there were aligators under my bed since the brown carpet was like a swamp and the green was like land. I would get ready for bed in the bathroom then jump to my bed without touching the floor for fear of the aligators getting me.

When i was little i would be afraid to go to bed because i was always afraid of chickens in there. I guess i was dreaming about them or something because i would always kick to get rid of them

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!

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...

When I was younger I used to think that if I sat on the edge of the bed for too long, something would grab my legs, drag me under the bed and take me into another world, actually I still think that, not sure why, as I Know that it's just not possible, must be all the fear in me from when I was younger, I'm almost 30 by the way!!!

Other kids beleived there were monsters under their bed, I beleived there was a pyscho killer. I'd take running jumps to my bed and jumped to the door out of bed. I'd always leave my door open in case the killer decided to come out so I could make a quick escape. I'd never hang any body partout of my bed so the killer wouldn't stick his knife through it. I wonder what happened to that killer...

Maddie

i used to think that if i didn't sleep with all of my body under the covers that a robber or something would chop them off if they were hanging out...scary!!!

steph

when i was younger i used to believe that if i was scared while lseeping i could hide under my blanket and the monsters couldnt see me...but eventually i would get really hot and forget what i was scared of in the first place

When I was about 6 I used to beilieve that when I went to bed if I had any part of my body (apart from my head) out of the duvet, they would be taken off during the night! Lost a lot of sleep over that!

When I was a child I used to belief that there was a monster under my bed. And till my 14. bitrhday I used to belief that when I didn't get asleep very fast, there would come a very bad guy in a black robe and strangle me and my family. And I remember after reading "Dracula" I heard for about a month strange voices outside the window - just like those of the vampires (that's what I believed)

a big child for ever

When I was four, I dreamt that a little man who wore a three-piece suit and carried a briefcase used to live under my bed. In my dream he cut off one of my fingers when I hung my hand down and I went running crying to my mother in the morning, but she explained that my finger was still there. After that, I always did the "run and jump" into bed. The wierd thing is, we lived on an army base in Germany and had no TV. I always wonder how I even had that picture in my mind. Past-life remembrance perhaps?

When I was small, I heard about the death of Lincoln and afterwards John Wilkes Booth was under my bed. I believed that he was hired by the government to get my blood because I was somehow special.
There was a red spot on my blanket that I thought was blood (it was actually the lips of a giant face, superimposed on the comforter), and if he touched that he could then pull me from the bed and get what he needed. I even thought that there were cameras watching my every move!
Eventually, when I was nine, we came to an agreement where he wouldn't get me if I was sleeping or if the lights were on, and I left the lights on for days until he gave up and went away.

Even as a very small child, I was very bright and I loved reading. Unfortunately, I never really reined in what I read so in a few days I would read the Dictionary, part of the Bible, some random sci-fi I found, and of course, the ever-present Goosebumps books. I was fine with the fairly tame ones- but the dummies, killer masks and such were too much for me. I created a posse of my favorite characters to protect my bed, and to this day, at the age of 11, I still need my little gang of helpful hobbits, gentlemen thieves, aliens and brave young soldiers and pirates to keep me from having bad dreams. Ah, youth.

Mary, age 11

After watching Little Monsters, that movie with Fred Savage, I was completely frightened of things that lived under the floor under my bed. I was so scared at night that I would run from the beginning of my bedroom door and jump half way across the floor to my bed. Once I would get in my bed I would cocoon myself in my blanket so that none of my body parts were able hang over the bed for the monsters to get!

when i was 4 i believed that the kids from Zoom would somehow sneak under my bed in the night to suprise me. every morning i woke up and checked under there before i left the room.

When i was around 5 years old, i had a very imaginitive mind. because of it i wouldn't step on the tiles in my room. mostly because i saw little people and monsters in them and was afraid that would get me my feet for stepping on them. So for a few weeks i jumped from my bed to the outside of my door cause i was afraid of the tiles!! LOL

thalia - the imaginative girl

When I was a little girl, my parents always had my bed in the corner of the room. When I would go to sleep, sometimes I would be worried about "boogie-men" of sorts. I would be afraid to put my back to the door, incase they came in through there, they could sneek up on me that way. But I didn't want to lay faceing the door either, because they could come up in between my bed and the wall behind me. So I would pile all my stuffed animals around me and one "pillow bug" with legs on my head, with it's legs placed over my face so that I could still see out. I got over it sooner or later.
