I was really scared of flushing the toilet at night because once I did it some dark creatures walked down the stairs to me, I can't remember what they did but they did walk to me. Don't know if this was a dream or a 'shadow man' experience (look @ the other topic) but I don't think dreams are this easy to remember. The creatures walked off and I couldn't sleep for a week. When I started screaming, the creatures came again.

I remember one thing: I could always get myself out of dreams by simply opening my eyes, it worked for me really often. But once I tried that when the creatures came, I thought it worked again but then THE CREATURES WALKED DOWN THE STAIRS AGAIN. You can't imagine how afraid I was.

Damn why did I have to find this forum? Now I'll sh** my pants and won't sleep for nights again.

When I was a child I was scared of the neighborhood most, I guess..When they're shooting each other down the street and freebasing in the hall; the bogeyman and the thing under the bed are just no big deal..

ghosts....... up to now i'm still afraid of them...........

I was and still am TERRIFIED by praying mantis'.

And marionettes.......

Time to get over your fear, Ancient Myste... This is a praying mantis Marionette! I was afraid of.. believe it or not, Muppet Monsters. Not Elmo, Cookie Monster, or Grover from Seasame Street, the Muppet show monsters. Some of them where huge, and it didn't help that they ate one another. And then, some of the smaller ones usually pop up out of no where.
I was also afriad of Yeti, not Bigfoot, Yeti, cause a girl was scalpted by it. I always thought if I ever met a Yeti, Godzilla or Bigfoot would save me.
The third thing is, another muppet, his name was Crazy Harry. I have a file of him I will post later. He had a wicked grin, buldging eyes, large nose, beard, black hair, and was obsesed with TNT and other things that go boom. When ever some other Muppet or Person said anything that might have to do with explosions, he'd pop up, I still fear he will pop up and make me blow up.

Well,to be truthful I used to be afraid of my Grandma.When I first saw her I was afraid because I had no fond memories of her when I was really young.Now i do and I love her.Also when I was young I had a dream that my parents and uncle had died.I felt scared of being alone and having a person being close to you suddenly gone is a really great loss.So I guess my fear was being alone and losing something or someone close.

I used to have this huge picture of a lion on my wall when I was a kid. During the day I thought it was really cool, but at night it scared the hell outa me. I thought he was gonna jump out of the picture and eat me!

i was scared of ET (the film). i was the only 1 2 c him as the over grown ball sack he was.

I'm a chicken. There's a lot I'm afraid of, like...
-The dark. When I enter a dark room to get somthing I run like hell, grab the object, and run back out.
-ET the Extra Terrestrial. He's always creeped me out.
-Big sharks
-Spiders
-I'm afraid that when I sleep some murderer will kill me or aliens will abduct me, but I feel that covering myself with bedsheets will protect me somehow.
-Under my bed. I saw a little part of Pet Semetary where the possessed kid cuts the old guy's ankles with a butter knife, so I'm terrified of that happening to me.
-Cockroaches. Just... eurgh...
-Having the closet even slightly open
-That band Slipknot. Those masks terrify me out of my wits. Also, their "music" just sounds like a bunch of yelling and screaming to me. Actually, most heavy metal bands scare me.
-And there are some movies that scare the heck out of me, like The Exorcist, almost anything from Stephen King, Se7en, and Poltergiest. The only one I have a remote desire to see is Se7en. I want to scare myself.
Hey, I'm only 12, kay?

Knowing I am still a kid,a lot of stuff scare me,Chucky,(rugrats and movie)Hmmm The evvvvvvvvvvvvvvvviiiiiiiiiiiil monkey in my closet and Ghosts and Murderers and Aliens and Alias(the show)LOL and a whole lot more stuff I aint gonna list

I am also afraid of Meir Kinder...

When I was ten, the guy who went around in the big mouse suit at Chuckie Cheese...*squirm*

Lol, they've launched the missles...
Klingons Aren't Scary, anyway!

when i was little i was scared of the dark, major time! still kinda gives me the creeps!!!! :hmm:

Serioiusly though. I was scared of something. It was this jesus thing my grandma has. It's a big statue and he has a book that says "if you love me imitate me." I had so many nightmares about him coming to life and killing me. I swear one time i was awake and his eyes moved and his hands squeezed the book. AH!

i was afraid to death of the movie "IT". stupid clowns....

They all float!

A couple o' things did it for me a movie called "The Thing" with Kurt Russell........... put me off me sunday dinner for months oh and the dark.

When I was a kid looking in a mirror in the dark scared the hell out of me I always expected a face to look out at me not mine

Being in a really dark places by myself scared me, mirrors scared me, and porceilen dolls and clowns scared me too.
Windows left open during the night when it was so dark that all you could see out of them was black were scary too. I could always imagine something terrible staring at me from just past the light.

My two biggest childhood fears: Michael Jackson's Thriller video, and Ozzie Osbourne

I have a long list of things, most of them already mentioned on this thread.

One of the scariest things for me was leaving the curtains pulled back from *any* window at night. I kept imagining something watching me or popping up and disappearing just as I looked toward the window. As a habit I always pulled the curtains shut and made sure the house was locked down before my parents went to bed.

For me it was always things that I couldn't see like everything behind me or behind a door.

oh and Barbara Streisand (seriously).

Oh, and clowns.

Can't sleep... Clown'll eat me... Can't sleep... Clown'll eat me...

when I was a kid I couldn't sleep with the closet door open and needed some kind of light somewhere... spiders were my biggest fear.
The closet thing was because I believed the mosters from the muppets lived in there and were going to "get" me.

Whatever "get" me means. I have no clue what I thought they'd do with me... put me on their show I guess... and that doesn't seem so scary now...

It's creepy right?



I forgot vampires. I was so scared that one would come and turn me into one myself.
Nowadays I'm very fascinated by them... Weird actually

(ps do any have information 'bout vampires?)

when i was little i used to have these reacurring dreams about a huge elephant

running down my hallway and ramming into the door while i tried to hold it back.
i used to hyperventilate and everything!

i also had another reacurring dream in black and white about me
sitting at a spinning wheel and another one of me shouting nooooooo in slow motion and the funny thing was it was all in black and white!!

they where both really frightening.

also i am scared of the dark i always have been and i think i always will! i am scared of death as well even though i have nearly overcome that barrier.

i am also scared of almost all animals i see!! although i have a rabbit, 2 hamsters, a dog and a cat although i have had them for years!!

and the wizard of oz monkeys scared the bejesus out of me!!
i still believe there is a species of monkeys out there not yet discovered that can fly!!


God Bless

I was most afraid of my mom dying when I was little. She is a much older mom. She is 40 yrs older than me. So, when I was little, I was afraid she would die and leave me alone. I had no grandparents or my dad. She was it. She is still alive and kicking. Like most fears, it was completely unfounded. My other big fear as a child, was the "dead" people I saw often. I have been able to see spirits most of my life. But when I was a child, it scared the crap out of me. Mainly because no one else but me could see them. So, if they decided to hurt me, no one could see what was happening. I learned over time what it was and was no longer scared. Other than that, no fears. Except afraid of what kind of crazy crap I'm gonna get myself involved in next. Bizarre and crazy seem to follow me

Aliens! Oh my gosh, I just knew there was going to be a deadly alien invasion. I couldn't stand riding in a car after dark because I would just wait and watch for a UFO.

Clowns----- still give me the creeps. IA friend gave me the book "It." I couldn't read it and I couln't stand it being in my house. I threw it away.

And, I saw this movie, don't remember much about it except there was a scene where this little dog went into a bedroom and the blanket rose up of the bed and wrapped itself around the dog and killed it----

My parents!

anythin and everythin......still am

only come on here in the day time

I used to gave a reoccuring dream about zombies and ghosts coming to get me.

They would be walking really slowly from the back of the garden and right through the back wall of the house and up the stairs to where I was standing.

I could see them coming and I knew if I could turn the landing light on they would disapear as they were affraid of the light - but I was stuck and couldn't move and they would slowly climb up the stairs getting nearer and nearer - if they touched me I would be come one of them Just as the first zombie reached out the grab me I woke up - everytime I woke up at this point - I have never been so scared.

So basically I am afraid of the dark

Creepy...I haven't had too many dreams about zombies, but one of them was extremely freaky.
My whole family is in one house while the zombies are attacking. They run up the stairs and while I'm running up the stairs, it collapses and I can't get away from the zombies.

When I was a child I was scared stiff of the witch-like shadow on my bedroom wall at night time. Also there was a shadow of a hippo on my bedroom door. Frightened the hell out of me.

those toilets that you dont have 2 flush...... open sewer. ummm they have those huge tanks... i thought zombies lived down there. god what r they called................

good idea for a topic uhh i think killer bees invading our house and/or bees

i was amazingly scared of chucky. From the age of about 4-7 i would have a nightmare where he would kill me, and i dont if this is because i had a sick mind but every night it would be a new way of killing me. I hated it because i could feel the pain and i would remember it, and everytime i tried to scream for my parents he would steal my voice or i just couldnt scream.....ughhh i hate chucky.

- The mime on Sesame Street (I think because he never spoke)
- This life size doll with creepy eyes that I had when I was little
- Dying, particularly having my heart stop. I'd have dreams where my heart was gone and I knew I'd die, and I'd wake up and have a panic attack over it


Oh, and this also reminds me of one time when my family was riding home in the car from someplace late at night. I glanced to the side and swore I saw a little red devil (you know, like on tv show where they have the devil on one side and an angel on the other?). I was soo scared.

Aliens

Well I used to be terrified of the dark when I was little,but as I grew it went away.I also had a fear of my ankles being grabbed from under the bed. Oh yeah ,hey Distortedpandy...Is that you in your avatar and signature?? You can jump on my bed anytime if your scared of ankle grabbers

nothing scares me but my friend told me that on halloween i man looking like the letherface was at this window and i scared the sh** out of him at halloween sweet!

The witch from Disney's Snow White,I remember going to the cinema with my granny when I was about 6,maybe 7 and I actually pissed myself with fear.
The same thing happened when she took me to see that Star Trek movie when they put little bugs in Chekov and Mr Suloos helmets and one wriggled into his ear,man that was scary.I think my Granny was a sadistic woman.

When I was a child the thing that scared me most was a t.v. show that gave me nightmares for the longest time! It was a cheesy local show that ran scary B movies and then made comments about it, a la Elvira. Every time I saw the commercials I flipped out! The thing that gave me nightmares was a laughing floating skull at the beginning of each show! I can laugh about it now but it was some SCARY stuff to an 8 yr. old!

Spiders

Jack ass....... I ain't like that!?! Am I? Oh well, I am affraid of alot of things, mainly Richard Simmons, but anyways.

anything being under my bed and grabbing my hair.
the movie the exorcist
and this voodoo doll that was in a movie called trilogy of terror that came to life and chased this woman around with a big butcher knife. i saw that when i was about 4 or 5 and i was scared of that little doll up until i found the movie and saw it as a teen!

I can't ever really remember being scared as a child but as I got older and began to understand fear I began to be scared of lots of things.

I used to be afraid of sliding doors. Whenever I went shopping with my parents I used to run through as fast as I could in case they closed on me and crushed me.

I still dont like them.....you cant tell what their thinking.

that clown Pennywise
