What were you afraid of as a child?
« on: January 14, 2011, 10:26:46 am »
Wheter it was something from tv or something you seen in person like a character or something as simple as the dark. Everyone had something they feared as a child.
I was downright terrified of Freddy Krueger.I use to have nightmares that he was coming to my grandmother's house to get me.TO make it so bad my mom bought a sweater just like that looked just like the one that he wore. I know she did it to freak me out. One day when it was dark in the house she was standing in the doorway wearing it. At first that's all i noticed and I was screaming my a#* off. Lol how embarrassing looking back now!

I am not sure why but I lived in El Paso out on the edge of town near the desert and my fear was that there was going to be a Volcano behind the house and that the lava was going to flow down the ditch on the other side of the street from where we lived.  And that it was going to somehow change course and burn up the house.

i was definitely afraid of the dark and had to have
my nightlight on when going to bed. my bed was also
right next to the window and i always wanted to pull
the curtains back to look outside, but was SO afraid
that someone would be staring back at me  :confused1:
to this day, windows at night still freak me out a little.

bugs! i've always been afraid of bugs, even the tiny
ones. i guess it didn't help that my little brother would
catch lightning bugs and dump the jar over my head
when i least expected it. oh, siblings...

I had 2 closets in my bedroom.  One had a door and one was just an opening that led back into a big, dark closet that scared me to death at night.  It was a pretty neat play area during the day :)  It had cubby holes on each side before you got back to the closet area & I could climb up in them and play for hours so I have good & bad memories of that closet.

I always thought there was something under the bed and hated to have my feet uncovered.  I still keep them under the cover to this day!

Birds or bats.  We didn't have bats when I was little though.  To this day, I am still afraid of anything that resembles a bird and flies.  I can't even be in a house when someone lets a canary, etc. out of a cage.  Bats in the house terrify me.  My last house would get a bat once in a while.  I finally learned to deal with one myself, but it wasn't easy.

 :wave: I guess I was afraid of the dark and in conjunction to that what was living under my bed in the dark. I remember just like it was yesterday running down the hall towards my room and just when I get to the door way I would jump as hard as I could for the middle of my bed. I would *bleep* the covers back and tuck myself really tight with my covers. I"D have the covers pulled up around my head where I would have to peek out and I would lay real still.My mother would get mad at me cause I would pitch a fit if my covers weren't tucked in real tight when she would help me make up my bed. I insisted that it had to be that way so the monsters couldn't get into my bed with me at night. Later on; my fears changed to the bathroom. I was afraid that the toilet would suck me down if I got too close.HA! HA! Imagine that!!!! :wave:
