Stupid things that frightened you as a kid

[me003]

when i wouldn't go to sleep my parents would say if I didn't the boogeyman would come get me, and some nights when I guess not trying to sleep when a plane would go overhead theyd say it was the boogeyman coming and it would scare me and i run to bed although i don't remember it so clearly anymore.

me and my friend would play on this old casio keyboard and it had these settings to play like ambient backround noises, like one was gunshots and horses galloping but one was like aliens and one was like a really eerie forrest and so we would hit the button and it would turn on the alien or forrest sounds and we would run away from the keyboard scared and either ask someone to turn it off for us or bare through the horrible noises for about 30 seconds.

When I was about eight, I saw this little documentary about poison and I was scared of everything that I touched. With the mindset that EVERYTHING I TOUCH IS POISONOUS.  I was such a germophobic, washing my hands everytime.

When I look back at it, I just laugh.

When I was little, I was deathly afraid that if I put my hand/foot on the floor next to my bed during the night somebody would get me and eat me.

THIS! Sometimes it's still in the back of my mind.

BUT my parents used to watch those police shows about missing kids and like whatever. They watched these when I was trying to sleep and I was always afraid to walk without an adult for the longest time cause I didn't want to get kid napped.
