Weirdest fear you had as a kid

[imnot]

Snakes, thats not wierd on its own, but I was so scraed of them that I couldnt even look at some toy snakes I had from a little toy animal collection, and had to get my mum to clean them up for me when me an my brothers where done ;_;

Im over thta now, I actually think snakes are kind of cute.

The big window at the bottom of my stairs. It was one of those distorted ones and it had like a 1980's flower pattern on it that you couldn't see out of properly. When you came downstairs and turned on the light in the middle of the night it would look like someone was standing outside. So instead I would race down to the bathroom in complete darkness, trying my hardest not to look out that window and I would always feel someone watching me from outside. It was creepy!

Oh and Germs! For a year of my child I had such a fear of catching a disease that I had like 6 different soaps and hand sanitizers on the sink and I would wash my hands ALL THE TIME. If I was eating a sannich or something I wouldn't eat the corner I had been holding it was fucked up. I grew out of that now, I am a big dirty man these days

Also when I broke my arm I got this irrational fear I would break it again so I kept extra protective of it. Now I have a huge phobia of broken bones, I guess a phobia is the wrong word it's more like an adversion. I get all sweaty and wanna puke if someones talking about one, hell even if I imagine breaking a bone I get all freaky about it :S.

I was terrified for months that, at night, walking past a large window, I'd see the zombie from scary movie 3(yes, I'm serious) would be in the reflection in stead of me, and that it would kill me.

 

[GrizzlyLives]

Don't bully me but i was terrified of (Omg) The Wind, not the actual wind its self but the sheer power of it and the way when i was sat in a car it felt as if the car would turn on to its roof and the way it made trees look as if they where about to tear up from the ground itself.

Mine? Cooties.
Blame Cow and Chicken

God my parents love that story.

Also, mirrors. They still kind of creep me out now >>;

 

[Spaceodin]

When I was a kid, I thought that a pair of boxers my Aunt got me was possessed by the Devil. I honestly have no idea why.

 

[HDi]

When I was a kid, I would always have to make sure that the opening in the quilt cover was at the foot of the bed.

I worried that if it was near my head, then something unspeakable would come out and get me by the throat.

 

[Whateveralot]

I wasn't allowed to touch the floor of my bedroom because there was a crocodile under my bed that would only come out at night when it's dark.

In the morning, I had to open the door from my bed and jump through it and shut the door behind me, or else it would eat me.

That bed-crocodile made my life so much more difficult :/

 

[Melon_Commander]

I was scared of snipers. I had to run past windows in case I got shot.

 

[War Penguin]

Believe it or not, I was always afraid of looking directly up. I'm still not 100% sure why but I guess it was because I was worried something would fall and crush me. Whether it was looking up tall ceilings or buildings or just the big open sky, I was always afraid to look up. Hell, I still get dizzy and nervous whenever I look up. It's like reverse vertigo.

 

[BishopofAges]

King Ramses from Courage the Cowardly Dog, creeped the living crap out of me and if I had ever watched the episode after nightfall I would mistake tree branches scraping my window as Ramses.

I wasn't allowed to touch the floor of my bedroom because there was a crocodile under my bed that would only come out at night when it's dark.

I had a crocodile that hid in the kitchen after dark...might be the same one?

 

[SnakeoilSage]

I used to be afraid that every time I flushed the toilet, it would overflow and somehow drown me or pull me in.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I'm guessing you mean a fear I don't have anymore so... am... Due to my cousin, for a few months I was convinced that there were toilet monsters.
That's pretty weird.

 

[Sarah Frazier]

As a kid, I was very wary of pictures with faces on them because some crazy part of me was afraid they were actually watching somehow. I don't know how it started, but even as an adult I sometimes get a tingle on the back of my neck.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Um, I was scared of those big flies~ bluebottles are they called? They sounded like wasps. I was terrified of bees and wasps but now it's just wasps.
Scared of trees for a while. Wine gums. Ladybirds at one point. Always been terrified of spiders. Oh, the red light when the telly was on standby. And the noise my cassette player made when it finished playing a tape, that loud clicking noise.

 

[Alexander Cunningham]

Watching the end credits of a movie by myself. I just got this sunking feeling in my gut and the inexplicable urge to cry when ever I saw the end credits pop up. And it had nothing to do with whether I liked the film or not. I never knew why it happened. And it was was full-blown fear. Of end credits. wtf?

OH NO! its the executive producer! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

My fear was beaches, still have it. and a friend of mine was afraid of trees.

 

[idarkphoenixi]

Redead from Ocarina of Time.

It took me a year to beat the Shadow Temple...

Damn, I was terrified of them too.

People will think I'm trying to make a joke here but...teletubbies.
