Monsters in your room......

How many of you were afraid that there was a monster in your closet or under your bed? Would you make sure the closet door was closed or keep hands and feet on the bed at all times? Do you still do this?

    I didn't have a closet when I was a kid, but I knew all along it was you hiding under my bed. Why do you think I always left cookies and milk down there?

    I AM the monster in the closet. Probably eating the pie I hid there.

    I made it up to 11 years old without thinking twice about monsters until my mom said one night "let me close your closet door so you wont see the short man that I saw as a child when I was sleeping." It was then when the prospect of things going bump in the night followed my dreams into nightmares.

    My mom told me that spiders will crawl in my ears and lay eggs in my brain.

    It wasn't until the night I watched the Exorcist when I was 8 or 9 (yah... thanks dad! @sshole), that stuff in my room started creeping me out. It also explains my fascination with pea soup!

    Once upon a time I had pajamas that were rather high in static and would always spark. My dad told me they were bees trying to escape, so I always freaked out when I saw those sparks. There's a reason I sleep naked now.

    I knew that if I got up to go to the loo, I just HAD to get back to my room before the light went completely out in the bathroom

    I still run

    I felt safest UNDER my bed growing up. There WAS a monster in my room. He used to stand beside my bed. One night I woke up and he was there, petting my hair, whispering my name. I've never felt anything so cold in my life (I can remember the touch of his hand so vividly). ): Freaked me out big time. But things got worse when he started calling me in for supper when I'd be playing in the yard (there were no males in the family but a male voice would call my name until I would come into the house every night around supper time). Before that point I could pretend I was just having weird dreams but when you're wide awake and start hearing the 'night voice' calling you into the house? That's when **** gets weird.

    After I moved out of that house I found out the family who lived there before were brutally murdered. Apparently it was occupied by a man, woman and child (a little girl my age). I formulated the theory that his spirit haunts the house and he took a liking to me because I reminded him of his daughter (he always called MY name, not hers. And weirdly enough he called my PROPER name, not the name everyone called me - nobody used my proper name. Ever. Except him).

    This is the stuff movies are made from but I lived it and it's probably why I'm so messed up. :P

    Edited to Add: I wasn't allowed to watch scary movies as a kid. I wasn't even allowed to watch Disney cartoons! I grew up on Coronation Street and Hockey. :P

    Gremlins!! I was terrified of Gremlins and would leap from my bedroom door to my bed b/c I just knew they were under my bed. LOL

    No wonder we all have issues...look at the fine parenting example our parents displayed!
    My mom let me watch the exorcist too...I saw that disgusting face for years in my bedroom!

    We lived across the street from the cemetery. When I was 4 my mom said it was time to give up my security blanket right before going to bed one night. I cried and cried. She brought it outside and crossed the street and put it on the fence. Said I cd have it back but I'd have to go get it...*****

    I did as a child...and still do as an adult. Curses to all the scary movies I saw when I was younger. They have scarred me for life. Grrr!!

    they weren't in the closet or under the bed...lord knows where they were, all I know was I had to have a duvet over me at all times, I couldn't stick my leg out until it was light outside, and to this day I can not sleep without some sort of cover or duvet (it also needs to be thick enough), no matter how hot or sweaty it gets !! phahaa

    I was always afraid there was a monster under my bed and in my closet as a kid. I stopped being afraid of the closet when I realized there was too much crap in there for a monster to also fit. ...I still won't stand next to my bed in the dark, in case something wants to pull me under.

    I wasn't afraid of monsters under my bed or even in my room. What scared me was a closed shower curtain in the bathroom. People, DO NOT let your children watch "The Shining"!

    I never worried about monsters in the closet until someone in my house thought it would be funny to put a Furbie in there and let it scare the &^%& out of me. I still think those things are creepy, and now they are back in stores! I REALLY hope neither of my children asks for one.

    I used to feel that way about this house, when I first lived here. When my husband was away working in the evenings, i was afraid! But, as a Christian, I don't have to put up with that, so I eventually learned to pray over our house and property. Now I don't even think about that.

    My room was by the stairs so I thought Count Orlok from Nofestrau was going to get me.

    When I was a child one of the bedrooms I had was in the up stairs attic. ( finished to be a bedroom ) My closet backed up to the rest of the attic. I had to keep my door shut or the bats would get out. Strangely I have no fear of bats as an adult.

    Are you kidding... I'm almost 50 and I refuse to go to bed if the closet door is open. Feet off the edge of the bed... I don't like it but it doesn't bother me like the closet door does.

    I read a horror books so I can let myself get freaked out easily. One of my favorite places to walk my short furries is a huge local cemetary. We tend to run across the lawn - the graves - chasing squirrels and being "jungle puppies". Sometimes I start freaking myself out thinking about a hand coming out of a grave, snatching one the dogs or grabbing my ankle.

    Last night I dreamed about zombies because i watched The Wallking Dead right before bed, lol.

    All furbies should be drowned in the arctic or killed with fire. Only the elements can destroy those little demons.

    *raises hand* I don't do it as much but I do have moments when I'm alone at night (which, thankfully is not often) and I start imagining what could be lurking in the dark corners of what ever room I'm in. I even imagined a zombie version of my daughter crawling out of her room...just this morning. Dang scary movies and books!
