Current Events > What were you scared of as a kid

(+) Yeah! (+)

I thought the ducts clanging was Freddy Krueger climbing up to get me.
That I would start flopping back and forth, like in The Exorcist.
Demonic arms would tear through my bed and grab me.

When I was 6ish we lived in a house that had a set of railroad tracks 1/4 mile away across a field. I was always scared at night that someone vagabond would hop off the train and peek into my windows.

Honestly, I can't believe you never caught me.

I wouldn't play the NES in the dark because it would startle the hell out of me when the games froze or glitched up suddenly.

Same shit that scares me now. Deep, dark water and tight spaces. Cave diving is my literal worst nightmare.

I was afraid of hockey masks because of Friday the 13th

Dying, and that's still my #1 fear.

We lived in an odd basement apartment when I was really young. The "closet" at the top of a small ramp in my parent room also had the toilet in it. The bathtub and sink were in another adjacent room from theirs. Anyway my parents hung their scuba dry suits in the closet area. Every time I had to use the toilet I got scared of them. It led to unmentionable habits happening...

Same apartment, now 2-3 years later I had a poster in my room for measuring my height. It had a woodland design and leprechaun on it. I once had a nightmare the leprechaun leaped out of the picture and chased me around the apartment trying to kill me. I wound up donating the poster to my elementary school to get rid of it.

and after we moved to a rental home I later had a short fear of sleeping in the dark so I sometimes had the lights on all night or wound up sleeping in my parent's room on the floor.

This was all within the ages of 3-9.

Chucky from Child's Play, i apparently thought i was ok with watching Child's Play 3 when i was 4 years old. I'm still unnerved by him to a point.

Thunderstorms and severe weather, I'm actually a certified storm spotter now and i chase them from time to time.
