Weird Things You Believed as a Child

[kea]

i used to think zombies were under my bed so i’d sleep right in the middle of my bed

oh ya and in hawaii there’s an old tale of ppl called the “night marchers” and they walk around with big torches and my dad told me if i’m our past dark the night marchers would come and take me away... thanks dad

I used to believe in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. Then I turned 13 and I was told the truth of their fake existence.

the way i was told the truth ab santa, tooth fairy, and the easter bunny was i went into my moms room and said “mom. my friends told me the tooth fairy isn’t real, are they telling the truth?”
my mom sighed and said yes
and then i started crying and said “was santa and the easter bunny a lie too?!?”
and she said ya..
and then i sat there and cried.

i was nine.
tromotizing experience.

It's weird to think that like almost everyone grew up thinking those stories were real, and here's me, making my friends cry when I was eight by telling them that's not true. I never believed those like lol (The santa thing because I thought he was weird and I saw my parents wrapping presents at 3am when I was five looool)

I always believed that if I got too close to the window at night and stop hiding from being under my blanket that aliens would come and abduct me.

I used to believe jaws lived under my bed after watching the movie, so every night I wouldn't dare hang my foot over the bed in fear that jaws would come up and bite it off.

I also used to believe that if I told too many lies my nose would fall off, due to a nightmare I had where I lost my nose under my bed.

my mom told me that if I spilled grape juice on anything the stain would never come out. 10/10 parent lifehack to make kids not spill stuff!

I still managed to spill some though :,)

I learned santa wasnt real when i was like 7 and cause i had terrible eyesight i would see someone going downstairs with presents while wearing a santa hat but i couldnt distinguish their identity so i wore my glasses all night and noticed it was just my dad pretending to be santa taking advantage of my terrible vision

If I stayed asleep, the presents would come in for Christmas.
Apparently we all sneaked upstairs to see that there was presents already set after your parents immediately went to sleep. Let's be honest here.

Yo kids who've just read those last posts, the people are just telling the stories of the year that Santa took a break. Ya, he always leaves a year for the parents to do job. he's real, don't worry let's hope some children believe this ^

When Five Nights at Freddy's first came out, I remember watching it late at night.

That was a bad idea. For a few nights, I could barely sleep and was constantly looking over my shoulder, thinking Foxy would sidestep into the hallway and kill me. o.o

When I was even younger than that, before I really "understood" (and let's be honest - who really understands it? No human can) the concept of the soul being separated from the human body upon death, I used to think that, when people died, their body would just start floating up (breaking through ceilings and/or caskets) until they were out of sight and floated all the way up to Heaven.

It was dumb, I know. xD

I couldn’t sleep with the closet remotely open because I thought a psycho murderer hid there.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Fnaf gave me nightmares

Fnaf gave me nightmares

Same. It might have been after FNAF 4 that I actually had nightmares about them being at my house in the middle of the night. I had to run outside and they cornered me by the edge of a little cliff we have into a gulley (I live out in the country) and I then I woke up, lol.

That I would have been the pope.... I would be a great one tho

I had nightmares from the first game. I was over all the nightmare stuff by fnaf 4, but fnaf 1, 2, and 3 scared me cause I always imagined them doing the jumpscares from the doorway to my room or from under or next to my bed.

I used to believe that my grandparents were scary monsters. I can’t remember the details of exactly what I thought they were or why i thought this... but I didn’t have my first conversation with them until I was 10.

that when you lie, your tongue turns black

 

[KinqOfTheClouds]

You know when you pull a silly face?

Yeah, my dad told me if I do that and the wind changes direction my face would melt... WHAT THE HELL, DAD. WHAT. THE. HELL.

Oh yea, I believed that until I was 10. And erm, I'm 13.

Edit: Oh. The reason I "figured out" it was a lie wasn't because I realised "That's not possible". Oh no, it was because I tried it and nothing happened.
