  • Werewolves and Vampires. Which is odd, considering my best imaginary friend was a Werewolf.
  • feel free to laugh your heads off , but it was the shampoo monster, i had a nightmare once when i was 6 and it was about a gaint shampoo monster. lol i know its funny as hell.
  • The monster that was under my bed. I would always take a flying leap from the doorway onto the bed so it wouldn't grab my legs.
  • yep, the monster under the bed. I used to climb onto the dressing table to turn off the light and then have to climb back in the dark! I did not and still do not get up during the night.
  • Clowns. Always clowns. Edited- please read profile
  • The thing that lived under the bed or in the closet because it was going to grab me and take me away. Curtisy of my brother. And my cousin's doll. She made me sleep on that side because ahe was afraid of it too.
  • A dinosaur. That's why I still sleep with the light on
  • Well, if the 'thing under the bed' didn't get me to stay in bed, the 'monster in the closet' was sure to get me anyway. I used to make syre my closet door was closed every night. My mom would tuck me in and then check the closet door for me. The under the bed thing was probably like the crawling hand in the old movies. I was never the same after that movie! lol!!!
  • whatever it was that was under my bed, i can remember standing at the door about to turn the light off then running like mad and diving onto the bed and straight under the covers!
  • This is going to sound crazy, but... Jesus - all glowing and gory and cut up and showing off his Sacred Heart. I had nightmares about the crucifixes and statues that were kept around my school, our Church and around my grandparents' house. The terror wasn't neccessarily of Christ himself, but that those statues were doing evil things and producing some sort of force that would get me in the dark. They were always so vivid and gory and always huge and located in shadowy places. Why couldn't they have pictures of Jesus where he wasn't all bleeding and tortured or pulling open his chest? Of course, we were taught that he was a good guy, but those pictures and objects and all that blood and gore just stuck in my mind... I don't know why they terrified me, they just did. I couldn't find a good example of a Catholic crucifix - it seems they're veering away from gore nowdays, but here's a couple of pictures of the Sacred Heart; and I know, they don't look scary or sinister now.
  • I always thought that monsters were outside after sunset. When I was a pre-schooler, I was too afraid to look out of the window at night.
  • lol it's a little weird but when I was about 4 I was terrified George Bush Sr was hiding in my closet waiting to grab me!
  • I used to have this recurring nightmare from the time I was 5 till around 8 or so that a man in an orange robe was standing at the foot of my bed, he'd turn to look at me and get this evil grin then raise his arm above his head, with a knife in his hand as if he was going to stab me, his eyes glowed a green color and he would start laughing and just before he made contact with the knife and me I'd wake up. Only did that once crying though, got spanked for waking my dad up for something as stupid as a bad dream.
  • The Invisible Man......now that I think of it..what was to fear?? he was invisible!?!
  • The boogey man. My babysitters hated babysitting for any child and so they made my nights miserable by telling me this. Made me scared of the dark for many years until a Great Aunt came along and showed me that I had nothing to be afraid of and explained to me what it was.
  • I was afraid that if I let my arm or foot slide off the side of the bed something would grab it. Hmmm, still kinda creeps me out.
  • My mother, father, step dad, and brother.
  • The lady in the Aunt Jemimah commercial. I thought she was hiding under my bed.
  • Satan (after watching the Exorcist)
  • being burned up, I watched to many Westerns as a kid also the monsters that would grab me from under the bed, what they would do, who knows, but there you have it... my fears.....:)
  • Two places... My grandmother's upstairs at night. My grandfather had remodelled the house, and redone the attic into basically a 3-room (no doors) suite. Stairs were steep, there were sloping closets and attic space full of clothes and junk, nooks and crannies, etc. When we stayed at the house, we kids had to go to bed up there. (If Mom and Dad were there, they came up later.) Windows, a relatively busy state road beside, and streetlights made the shadows move around a lot. It was SPOOKY for me. And, for some reason or other - We had split-level house. I had the downstairs bedroom (alone in the basement for some time). Dad put closers on the door to the steps to the front door and then up to the upstairs. For some reason, I always had to get to the top of the stairs before that door closed, or SOMETHING would "get me". LOL (Oh, yeah... In that same downstairs, was a 1/2 bath. Across from the laundry dad had installed a large shower for me to use. AFTER I saw The Exorcist, and for some time, whenever I took a shower there, I watched over the shower curtain down the short hall. Not for family... Wasn't worried about that... But for... SOMETHING. ;-) )
  • i used to pick my nose and wipe them on the side of my bed so one day i looked over and thought there was a gremlin in my room lol.

  • I don't know what it was, but it was imperative that my closet doors be closed every night.
  • I don't know but it lived in the hallway. As a child I would have to turn on the hall light and run to my room.
