under my bed

I used to believe that when you sleep at night, monsters came out from under your bed when you fart. Thats what they eat when they are hungry. yes i am a computer geek that lives w. mi mommy :)

I used to think there was a tarantula underneath my bed at night, and if I stood next to my bed for too long, it would grab me underneath the bed and eat me. When I was going to bed, I always used to jump straight onto my bed.

I used to believe that if I got out of bed when it was dark big evil snake would bite me.

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.

I used to believe I had to get my head under my bed covers quickly, or the 'wizard' will have caught me!

When I was little I used to think there were monsters under my bed. I stopped believing it quickly though but once night when I was 8 I watched Nightmare On Elm Street with my brothers and they said that Freddie was going to come from underneathe my bed and kill me. I told then that he was make believe and stormed off. Later that night I guess one of them snuck underneath my bed. He started to grunt, and then shake the bed a little bit, and then really rocked the bed and then he pulled the blankets and me underneathe the bed....I peed all over the place. I had to sleep in the bed with my parents for 3 monthes. I get scared just thinking about that night.

I used to believe that late at night a man with a chainsaw would come in through the windows and kill me.

I used to believe that if you slept without socks and for some reason uncovered your feet in the middle of the night, some weird creature would come and suck the blood out of my thumb :p

I thought the boggie man only came when you were bad.
When I was ill, I was always frightened of him. It is only now as a grown up, I realise it was my mums way of keepingme in bed. Very sad.

I belived for the longest time that under my bed there were aligators and crocidiles and so i would jump from across the room onto my bed so they woudlent eat my feet

I used to believe in "skin monsters" that when i was in my bed i had to be compleatly covered by my blankets so the skin monsters couldn't get me. if my feet poked out or my hands showed, they would get me for sure. But because I never could keep my head under the covers my head was exempt from the rule. Although I never really imagined what would happen if they got me, still to this day when I turn out the light I need to run and dive into the bed and get under the covers as quickly as possible or I'm sure they are going to crawl out from under the bed and get me. All except for my head of course.

When I was young I thought a giant slug lived under my bed and that it if any of my toys fell on the floor it would suck them up.

All thru my childhood I believed that there was a hippopotamus under my bed. I couldn't dangle my legs over the edge of the bed, because she would grab them and haul me under. By the time I was about 7, I imagined she had a baby boy, and if I listened real careful in the early morning, I could hear her explaining to the little one how to grab the legs of children and drag them under the bed (to eat, presumably. :^)

The mother hippo has long since gone but the son grew up as I did. I'm nearly 30, and I still keep a wall/row of boxes on my side of the bed so he can't see if I'm dangling my legs over the edge. I hope he never has children :^)

When i was little i used to think that there where two men under my bed with a laptop at night. They were tring to get me! so when i got up to go to the bathroom in the night i would have to leap from like 3 feet away from my bed and i would yell to them "HAHA you didnt get me!".......i feel so stupid

I was feeling sleepy one night and it was my first real night in a proper bed. I was just dozing off when I heard a roar from under my bed. I made my Dad come in and look for the Lion that was under there but he never found it!
To this day, I still jump into bed so that nothing can grab my ankles and I always tuck my feet into the end of the duvet so nothing can tickle me in the night.

i used to think there was monsters under my bed and ones that came in my room. i though the ones under my bed would grab my ankle and pull me under so i never stepped off my bed i jumped 2 feet away so they couldnt get me. for the other monsters i thought " i cant see you, you cant see me"... it was like a rule kinda thing i thought. i would hide under the hot cover sweating until i fell asleep thinkin they couldnt see me.

when i was little i used to believe the boogie man would come up from under my bed and eat me

~*JaZz~*

Like most children, I believed that there was a monster under the bed. However, my monster was a bit more specific: he was called the "Toe Monster," because my daddy had told me that if if stuck my toes under the edge of the bed, the monster would eat them off. Pretty boring I guess, as far as monsters go.

Maeghan Jade

i used to believe that there were monsters under my bed that once i had gone to bed and i was lying there they would jump out and eat sleeping children so i always used to pretend that i was dead and lie really still so they wouldnt take me away!What made it even worse was that whenever I opened my eyes to see if i could see the monsters, i could see my dressing gown hangning up and i would think that they were actually there!

Even now i sometimes scare myself with the idea!
