Monsters in your room......

Cait_Sidhe

When I was a little kid my brother told me there was a troll living in my heating vent (like in Cat's Eye) that would come out and eat my hamster when I was asleep. So I would sleep with my hamster's cage next to my pillow. My mom wasn't too happy with the chewed up and shredded pillowcases.

I was always afraid of El Cuco coming out of the closet or under my bed to eat me. I use to get a running start and jump onto my bed so I would not have to stand next to the bed. I still check sometimes one can never to careful with these things. They will strike when you least expect them to. Just ask my cousin one almost dragged him away...

I was always scared of dolls or pics coming to life to get me. But I had it coming bc I used to hid under my daybed or behind my door and scare my nephews to the point that one of them was scared of the dark. I know i know bad kid but trust me Im getting it in return.

Hehe, I still can't stand my closet being wide open. Or even just a little. It's that mystery of darkness.
Although, I enjoy the darkness, just not where something could attack me. Hehe.

I still get myself freaked out. Many a nights I have had to sleep with the light on. Many a nights I've had to triple check windows and doors are closed/locked! Many a nights I have stayed awake for fear of crazed murderer roaming around looking for the perfect house to break into! Sometimes while on the treadmill or in the shower, I'll think I heard something or someone coming upstairs to get me!

I think I blame Dad. He made us watch alot of history stuff about slavery and the civil rights movement. Yeah, it was great to know history, but, I really got no sleep around the time I was 7ish. I'd Always have nightmares about the triple Ks coming out to get me, hang me, lynch lil ole me! They didn't care if you were a kid, so it just freaked me out to no end!

I was never the one to believe in the fake monsters...only the real ones. Watching and reading very morbid things probably hasn't helped me out that much, lol!

My daughter asks about monsters in the house. I tell her that the cats eat them. I say "Why do you think they are so fat?" She accepts that and no longer has a fear.

I was convinced there was a skeleton rock band in my closet and that I I fell asleep with the door open and my arms were out from under the covers, they would come out and chop my arms off and use them as sticks for their drum solos.

SERIOUSLY. Still don't sleep with my arms on top of the covers....

Wondering wtf my parents used to tell me when I was little!

I saw Jaws when I was about 5 or 6 not sure what my folks were thinking really. After that when I went to bed and the lights were turned off, somehow the bedroom carpet magically turned to shark infested water. And don't get me started about the trauma of having to go to the toilet.

A few years later I saw Alien..... I was no longer scared of sharks at bed time.... There were bigger problems

When I was 6 or so, I tried so hard to convince my sister the troll from Cat's Eye was real, and I scared myself and her. We slept in the same room for a while after that, made my dad so mad "We have a house with 4 bedrooms for a reason!" After a while I decided she also had a boogeyman in that old wardrobe in her room... but that wasn't because I was trying to scare her that time, I'm just weird. Also some kids at school told me about Bloody Mary, then I was scared after, since you know all kids have to try that stupid stuff, decided after I attempted that she was going to get me. I kept a cat in my room,I have to sleep with blankets on, no matter what, I don't like the closet door open at all, and I lock the bedroom door. I startle but I don't really scare from watching horror movies, or reading scary stories anymore. But I did love scary stories as a child, I had all those "Scary Stories for Sleepovers" though I never had a sleepover, it was just for my entertainment.
We watched a lot of scary movies, but till I tried to scare her I didn't have a problem lol.

Why do we all believe that a tightly pulled duvet or blanket will stop an axe or a chainsaw?

:happy:

One night Lisa was awoken by a constant dripping sound. She got up and went to the kitchen to turn off the tap properly. As she was getting back into the bed she stuck her hand under the bed, and the dog licked it.

The dripping sound continued, so she went to the bathroom and made sure the tap was turned off there, too. She went back to her bedroom and stuck her hand under the bed, and the dog licked it again.

But the dripping continued, so she went outside and turned off all the faucets out there. She came back to bed, stuck her hand under it, and the dog licked it again.

The dripping continued, drip, drip, drip. This time she listened and located the source of the dripping — it was coming from her closet. She opened the closet door, and there was her dog hanging upside down with its neck cut, and written on the window on the inside of the cupboard was, "Humans can lick, too!!!"

Last time I found Monster in my room I drank it.
