just wanted to know some of the silly things that scared you as a child.
I was always terrified the water tower behind my aunt and uncle's house would suddenly fall and wash their house away..just their house no others. I pictured a hundred foot tall wall of water rushing thru the house.
This word also has a underground meaning once you break it down. Let’s take “Bonn” for example and it actually turns into the word “Bone”. We all know gays use this word to describe the action of when they are fecal fisting their Cuban cabana boy at their sex bath house parties. Now let’s look at Roo, “Roo” is short for “Kangaroo”.So put the full true message together and you get“Bone a Kangaroo

When I was about 5, my parents took me to see my grandma in the nursing home. My mom says there is a little girl (a resident) I can go see down the hall. I'm all excited because the nursing home is quite boring to a 5 year old. It was Easter. We round the corner and get to her room. There is this little girl sitting up on the bed, in a pitch black room, one spotlight shining down on her from above. She had on a hat with ruffles around the face. I don't know what she had, but she had a normal sized body and a gigantic, flat, saucer-shaped head. Scared the crapola out of me. Forever to this day, Raggedy Ann dolls scare me just the same.
(Of course, I grew up and know she can't help it -- I was 5!)
--"Poltergeist" --snakes coming up out of the toilet and biting your rear when you were peeing --the old woman my sister told me haunted the attic of our house --corn spiders
I used to be scared of closing my eyes in the shower. I don't know if it was a result of watching Psycho or not but I still try to avoid it as much as possible while taking a shower.
things hiding in my closet. once when i was 8, my mom hid in my closet and jumped out to scare me just as i was going to bed. scared the living crap out of me. to this day, if my husband isn't home when i get home at night, i'll go around and check all the random closets and hidden spaces just to be safe. (most of the time i do this with a kitchen knife, i'm always like "what the heck would i do if i actually found someone/thing?!"...answer: probably nothing.)

My baby sister (she's 8 now) was terrified of cows. She had cow nightmares where they would come out from behind the couch in our living room (she refused to sit on that couch in her waking hours) and go up to her room, and they always had red eyes. I know this sounds crazy, but I mean she was just a little toddler, barely able to talk, so I think she was too young to make it up. Plus, when she would see cows (particularly the Chick-fil-a cows, for some reason) there was a look of genuine terror on her face. She's grown out of it now in the past few years, but I was always so fascinated by her bizarre dreams that carried over into such a real fear.
Clowns (never quite got over that one) Jets (Not sure why, but when I was little every time I looked up and saw a jet flying through the sky I would freak out!) Animal from The Muppets (I loved The Muppet Show but I wouldn't watch it alone and I also used to have this Muppets record and every time I listened to it and it got to the part with Animal yelling and playing the drums I would start screaming and run out of the room! lol)
As for something that scares me now, but didn't as a kid, would definitely be clowns. I read a lot on John Wayne Gacy in college. The fact that he dressed like a clown and then painted those horrible clown pictures in prison makes my hair stand on end. The painting below has actually appeared in one of the scariest nightmares that I've ever had, which was only about two years ago.

I have been trying to come up with something since I saw this thread and I can't remember being all that afraid of anything.
However, I do know a song that fits.
Don't turn out the Lights tonight I need a can of Raid Ants will crawl inside my ears And nibble on my brain There's something by the window And it wants to get inside And it's waiting for the dark So it can eat me up alive You never listen when I call I end up sleeping in the hall Cause you're to busy with Important things You smile and say that You believe but You're not listening to me And now they're coming to get me Why don't you believe It's not all inside my head Something wants to eat me And it lives underneath my bed I gotta keep the lights on Or I'll never get to sleep Cause there's something In this bedroom And it's giving me the creeps I try to tell you that I'm scared You act like you don't even care You just pat me on the head And walk away You're gabbing downstairs On the phone You leave me in the dark alone And now I'm gonna stay Up all night Don't turn out the lights

Ahh good old Pennywise. That clown scares the shit out of me too. I can imagine him staring up at me from the storm drain right before he rips my leg off.
And, snakes in the toilet? Have you been watching Porky's? That kind of freaked me out when I was a kid too.

my best friend from around preschool to middle school lived in the same neighborhood as me, on the next street over. you could see my house from his and vice versa but there was a house in between the two, and next to the house was three LARGE evergreen trees on a slope. because of the hill it was on you could, and we always did, hide under the branches of the trees and not be seen by anyone. so whenever i had to go back home from his house after dark i would just sprint as fast i could as soon through that area to avoid anything jumping out of the trees at me. no idea what i thought would get me, but for quacks sake it could have been anything!
I dunno if you guys remember the movie Little Monsters with Fred Savage and Howie Mandel...but I used to jump into my bed so my legs wouldn't be too close to the underneath of it. I didn't want any hands reaching out and grabbing my ankles. And also I still don't like looking into a mirror in an almost completely dark room...Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary!!
There was a show on when I was a kid called Sammy Terry.. It showed B rated horror movies...Kinda of like Elvira.. Sammy scared the crap out of me. When I was in high school I went and seen him live and even though it was obviously an old man in makeup he still gave me heebie jeebies.
Trains. My grandpa's house was just a block from an old set of train tracks. It actually sat between two sets of tracks in the Depression era, my great-grandma was a friend to hobos. When I would stay the night over there as a kid, I was always sure the train would come crashing through the bedroom window one night. My fears were not completely irrational, it turned out. When I was a teenager, a train derailed and knocked a house right next to my grandpa's property clean off it's foundation. Compound that with a train safety video we were shown in grade school that had terrifying images of a kid with his foot stuck in the track with a train approaching.
I still get creeped out when I walk across tracks or get stopped close to them when the arms come down.
When I was six, my family moved into a beautiful house from the mid-late 1800's. Sometime during the first week there, my dad said "the lady who sold me the house told me there are ghosts living here". That seriously freaked me out for the next two years whenever I went down into the basement or heard the floorboards creak late at night.
