Hey Pandas, What Were Some Of Your Childhood Fears? (Closed)

I was scared to close my eyes in the shower- I thought a demon/murderer would kill me if I closed my eyes even for a second.

I was scared of the couch, I thought it would suck me into the cushions and spit me out like a wad of gum.

The green floating pants in a Dr. Seuss book. Freaked me right out.

Grasshoppers. My gran told me that grasshoppers could kick me and for some reason that just terrified me. I still have a grasshopper phobia to this day and I'm nearly 32.

I was deathly terrified of lilies, due to Season 5 of Lucifer

warning sirens and the guy on the radio if there is a storm warning and watch i liked the storms and not the alarmes that came along with them

When I was like 6, I thought there were 3 witches in my bathroom. I thought if I didn't turn on the lights, they would 'get' me. After i grew out of it. I had this fear that people were always watching me. Pretty dumb.

I am terrified of sloth from the goonies.

I used to be afraid that I was really in a coma and my whole life was a dream and that one day I would wake up and have a whole different life with no memories. I have no idea where I got that from or why I was afraid of it.

Im afraid of the dark,im scared of clowns,and spiders.

Unreasonable fear of sharks like the waterbed was a problem

Well, I am a child. But For a reason I can't explain, I haven't really been afraid of monsters or ghosts like other kids. I was more afraid of being kidnapped, murdered, held hostage, being imprisoned, etc. you know, normal kid stuff

Midgets. Especially Oompa Loompas. I don't know what it was, my mom even had a midget friend that was really nice, why was i so scared of them???? My earliest memory is literally me screaming and crying behind our living room couch because the Oompa Loompas came out to sing the Augustus Gloop song.

At 9 years old I went to bed and the movement of my bed against the wall disturbed a spider's egg pouch and I woke up covered in baby spiders. Been terrified of them ever since. There are a couple other things thst scared me. There was a mirror on the wall outside my room and sometimes I would see stuff move in it that wasn't there. I had my first experience with sleep paralysis at 10 y/o and it terrified me for a long time. I still remember vividly being paralyzed in bed, looking at my dad and trying to scream as black whisps were pinning me down and passing through my lungs. I recently (am 30 now) had another sleep paralysis experience and it was even worse than I can remember. I was holding my wife's hand and I told her that if I felt weird I would squeeze her hand, and I did when I started feeling immobilized, and something that looked like my wife, but with no eyes and a wide black mouth jumped on my chest and laughed at me. I don't really sleep anymore.

One of my childhood fears was freaking batman. he creepy. like the way he talks. and the fact that he comes out at night. so I'm just thinking, how much does this guy drink coffee? he's supposed to fight crime and somehow stay up during the day to run an entire company

Ok so when i was really little i was scared of a lot of things, i dont remember exactly what, then for like a year i had a really bad fear of dolls, and now i have Spectrophobia, aka the fear of seing something in a mirror that doesnt exist, like a ghost, demon, etc. I WILL NOT GO IN THE SAME ROOM AS A MIRROR IF ITS DARK. YOU BETTER BELIEVE I REACH MY HAND AROUND THE CORNER TO TURN ON THE LIGHT BEFORE I GO IN THE BATHROOM AT NIGHT.

Honestly, I could list a few things.
The dark, and when I was like, 4-present, I would stare into the darkest corner of the room when I'm sleeping and then 'see' creepy, red, glowing eyes... and I also didn't like eggplant. And... sharks. Monsters. Satan. Blood. Death. (Yeah, before I saw a post on Bored Panda I was afraid of death.)

I am also scared of the woods because that is where the slenderman live.

I was terrified that the budding pine cones would suck me up 😬

Vampires! Might have something to do with my dad thinking that Salem’s Lot was a good bedtime story for a 6 year old!!
