I used to think that if I didn't look down the bowl as i was sitting down on the toilet, a hand would grab my behind and pull me in.

At night i thought that there could be a skeleton sitting on the loo. I would stand well back as i gingerly opened the loo door and would cautiously approach the toilet, only turning round at the last minute and sitting down with my eyes screwed up. I would then have to go into the bathroom to wash my hands, avoiding the bath as there could be a skeleton lying in there too. I still hate going to the loo at night at my parents house!

when i was about 5 i had this scary dream about a devil popping up from the toilet and pulling me into his dungeon. i didn't use the toilet for days, and would go to the bathroom in the tub or outside...i was so scared of the devil! my mum soon noticed, and told me it couldn't happen.

After watching 'Jaws' when I was about 4, me and my sister used to think that Jaws would come and bite our bums off while we were on the loo.

my uncle had a velvet painting of a devil sitting on the toilet in his bathroom, and my cousins used to tell me if i stared at it too long it would come to life,i remember keeping my head down everytime i used that bathroom.

i used to believe that everytime i sat on the toilet little gremlins were kidding in the water pipe on the toilet and everytime i sat down they were going to grab my butt and pull me down the drain

At night, after going to the toilet, a the Devil's disembodied hand would emerge out of the u-bend, using the deafening flush to hide the sound of it's scampering as it chased me up to my room. The hard part came when running up the stairs, since it could leap through the gap in the banister and grab my ankle, rendering me powerless to scream out and/or fight it off. I would only be safe once under the covers of my bed.

I was made to believe that the pinching loo seat in the very old holiday cottage in Wales that I stayed in with my family at a very tender age, had a life of it's own and was called 'Pinchbottom'. My Dad named him thus and by the end of the two weeks I was unable to go to the loo on my own!!

i used to go for a pee at night and when i flushed the chain i used to RUN LIKE HELL because there would be a hand reaching up the bowl to drag me in and drown me! dont know where this came from but it lasted till after i was married!!!

I used to be convinced that a pike would swim up the toilet and get me. I had to be shown the full workings of the toilet before i would sit down on it. Now I realise how stupid this was.... it's the rats coming up that scares me now.

I used to think that the gremlins would pull me into the potty and drown me and i always get up quickly after using the toilet at 14 years old

I watched a special on tv about the most indestructable animals on the planet, and according
to it, rats could go through sewer pipes and pop out your toilet. I got very nervous about going to the tiolet, so I never actually sat on it, I just stood above it, until my mum told me we had a septic tank.

After watching a TV program about a snake being stuck down a toilet, I became vary wary of sitting on the toilet.
