I had a "lady" lamp, she was like a doll with a real fancy dress that had a very "disaproving" look, and it was alot worse when the lamp was turned on because the whole doll lit up and it was like it was possesed or something, I told my mom I hated it and could I please have another one, but of course it didn't bother her and she always would turn it on low when I went to bed and it would be staring at me....I would turn it around so I didn't have to see it's face looking at me while I was trying to go to sleep....ughOriginally Posted by Hydroaxe
When you were a child, were there any things you were afraid of that might make you laugh thinking about it now?I remember some painted, wood carved masks (African style or something) that some friends of my parents had in their basement. When we'd go over there I'd be all excited (at the ripe age of 3 or 4) to drive around the authentic looking pedal car downstairs, but these scary masks bothered me if I was alone in the basement, so I'd go back upstairs soon after anyone left the basement, but without telling them why.
I have a cousin who had a cute toy barn from Fisher Price when he was 4 or 5. When you opened the barn door you would hear a strange moo sound from inside the barn. It wasn't a recording, or battery operated so it sounded weird. He used to be scared of that sound.

Going up in my Grandmother's attic. My grandma lived in a old 2-story house built in 1912 and the attic had a full size door to go into it. I remember opening that door and looking in but not having the guts to go up there.
My own bedroom carpet. When I was about 5-6, I had a blue bedroom carpet that looked for all the world like water. Ok, so I watched too many nature documentaries - always have done - but I used to have visions of crocodiles that lived in my carpet (yes, in a bedroom carpet in Scotland, how stupid), and I'd literally leap the 7 feet or so from bedroom door to bed just so the crocs wouldn't get me!
Don't anyone laugh! Oh yes... and I always hated the corridor from our musicroom door to the bathroom. there was always something creepy about it - my brother never liked it much either - actually, come to think of it, neither did the dog or cat. there was something odd about it. If we had to get up in the middle of the night, you would hear us running from one end to the other (until dad put in a second lightswitch at the other end - then we could put the light on form either end and turn it off at the other when we got there)

Oh dear, what kind of thread have I stepped into!?
I was always and STILL am freaked out by CLOWNS or anything that resembles a clown like object!

She verbally abused me and physically abused me all my childhood and made me feel worthless and no good. She still does it now. The verbal abuse was the worst.
At my public school we had 2 staircases made of marble that led from the first floor lobby to the 3rd floor. While they were not spiral staircases they were curved. Going down those stairs scared me to death. They loomed so large and foreboding to a five year old body. We had to go down those stairs as a group at the end of the day to leave the school. A couple of times I lagged at the back of the line, and went down the regular stairwell. I finally got up the gumption to tell my mom, she spoke to my kindergarten teacher, Miss Hill and she switched to the regular staircase, for my benefit.
To this day, I'm still nervous about going down long/steep staircases. When I was little, my mom used to help me with my fear (subway steps) by making me count them. I think that the counting, turned into my OCD with numbers, I still count when I'm nervous about something.

I was always scared of the usual things: bugs, snakes, ect. Oh and of being alone. I still have nightmares about that. (I'll be walking along with a huge group of people or in some public and busy place and the next second, there will be no one there. Everyone will be gone and everything will be empty.) Scares the crap out of me. I'm sure theres some sort of psychological reason for it, but eh.
