    Silly Childhood Fears

    So I was reading through this thread in ZD and I have to say it gave me a few laughs...
    ...as well as some creepiness.
    So I thought I'd bring it over here. We all have silly childhood fears. Some may be typical and some may be not, but many times it is easy to think about those fears now and laugh (even though they used to scare us to death before). Pretty self explanatory, I want you to tell me your silly childhood fears.
    Me, well that I can remember... Many of you might remember the then popular TV show Goosebumps. I, for one, do. I remember this one story that really creeped me out. It was a two episodes part and it was called "Cry of the Cat, Part 1" and "Part 2". For some reason it used to freak me out. There are quite a few episodes/books that made me be scared but I read through their synopsis now and I laugh. The bug eating man... *shivers*

    Another thing that made me scared was a dream I once had, for some reason. It was me and my two childhood friends trapped in a house. Suddenly the mom of one of them would come and turn into the stereotypical witch with the wart and begin turning us to stone. I was always the last one alive and I woke up sweaty and shaking D8
    Another dream that scared me was one where I was climbing a giant mountain with my family, and I was the last one on the line. When I say climbing I mean like when you try to climb a wall, and when you looked down there was no ground, only clouds. Suddenly I slipped, the line holding us together snapped, and I went down, down, down, down... The horrible feeling went on until I disappeared into the clouds and woke up. When I woke up I felt how I "fell" on the bed, as though I had been floating or something. The difference with this dream, however, is that it truly traumatized my young mind and I now have Acrophobia. I can't even lean over a second-floor handrail at a mall and look down without feeling queasy. Even when other people look down I feel like that because I think the wall is going to break and they're going to fall.

    So anyways, those are some of my silly childhood fears, what are yours?

    Mascots. Doesn't matter what it is. If it's in a suit and I can't see it's face I am TERRIFIED. I still am, actually. I never sit on the aisle when I go to hockey games for fear of the large orange cat sitting next to me on the stairs... don't know why :P
    So I'm back, or at least I will be eventually. Trying to reintegrate myself.

      When I was little I remember having a lot of fears of the Zelda enemies in Ocarina of Time, especially the Shadow Temple and Bottom of the Well enemies, now they only really scare me if they sneak up on me, which they won't, because this is the game I've played a million times.

      But I never liked being held upside-down when I was little, and I think that helped give me.. not a fear of acrophobia like J, but a fear of falling. I can sit in a tree all day but my fear is falling.

        Ammy, my mom has the same fear as you. She has absolutely no problem being up high, as long as she knows there's no chance she'll fall.

        I had two fears growing up. One was thunder. I don't know why, but I was absolutely terriffied of thunder. It might be because while I was growing up, I lived in a desert, so rain was rare. Now, I live in a more humid area, so I hear thunder a lot. It's actually soothing now. lol
        My other fear was cockroaches. Those giant black bugs freaked me out every time I saw one. Until I managed to trap one and flush it down the toilet, alive.

          3: heights
          4: dark (still don't like it being pitch black or dead silent p)

          6: dead hands (the bottom of the well and shadow temple miniboss)
          7: when the door slammed down just before the deku tree boss battle
          8: redead's scream (the redead's themselves didn't freak me out at all)
          9: that one episode of courage the cowardly dog where you have that freaky guy going "return the slab" if you don't remember him here is a picture for you viewing pleasure.

                You guys are going to think this was really ridiculous of me but...

                I remember when I was a little kid, maybe about 4 years old, I woke up and it was still dark outside, and so my room was dark as well. I started to panic because everything around me was really blurry and dark. But it wasn't the dark I was afraid of.
                So I ran to my mom who was in the kitchen getting breakfast ready and I said through tears (and I quote), "Mama, my eyes are getting blurry. I can't see in my room."
                And she looked at me for a while, then said, "No they're not. It's just dark. Go turn on the lights."
                Even after she said that, for a long time I was afraid that I was going blind.

                Yeah, I...
                Yeah D:

                    Okay, I know I'm just barely out of being a 'kid' and barely into being a 'teenager' but I still consider myself out of 'childhood'. Anyway....

                    I might sound like a typical child here, but I was afraid of darkness and nightmares. I'm still a little paranoid of darkness, but I got over nightmares. I don't really have any stories I want to share here about my fears here, so sorry anyone who wanted to hear those. Also, late in my childhood, I became afraid of falling, and I still have that fear. Don't really know why, though. I guess I've near found a way to get over it.

                      Well Z, you could, of course, take a fall.

                      But to add to my childhood fears: screamers. Loud, scary faces that scream at you on the interwebs. I never follow any sort of bit.ly link, whenever there's a break in a youtube video I get freaked out, and I'm always scared to pretty much click a link. Yeah... Paranoia.
                      So I'm back, or at least I will be eventually. Trying to reintegrate myself.

                        Two things.
                        First, I wouldn't expect less of you, Silver. According to Borgonology, 3 out of every 5 children that had intimate contact with house gnomes when they were babies develop a fear of going blind between the ages of 3 and 35. It's all good!
                        Second, I had completely forgotten about that BC. When I was little once my older sister showed me a video with a screamer in it. I'm not sure but I think I remember I cried... I understand yo' pain man.

                          That's okay Elliot, I personally have a liking to blind people. (not an attraction, I just think they're bad***)

                          Mostly because of:
                          Anthony, a blind ESE Boy I helped in Seventh Grade
                          Iggy, the blind character in Maximum Ride, who used his own kind of echolocation and SPOILER ALERT

                          and Terezi, the blind character in Homestuck who found a way around it with smelling/tasting colors

                            Childhood fears , my mother 'nough said.
                            Besides that I have always been afraid of falling dreams, I used to have them constantly and always woke up really scared and sweaty. I also once had a dream where I was bit by a snake and I woke up to a pain and it ended up being me pinching myself in my sleep xD. Also when I was 10 there was an episode on this animal planet show, I can't remember it for the life of me. It was basically A horror show and there was one about a vampire, for the next month I could not go to sleep without some sort of light on. I know it sounds silly but I still have one more left in me. There was this show, again on Animal Planet, called the haunted. It said true stories at the beginning and it was about demons. Since I am a Christian I believe in demons and that show freaked me the **** out.
                            Morally of the story, Animal Planet hated me as a child.

                              My friend and I had dreams we were bit by snakes too.
                              COINCIDENCE? Gog I hope not.
                              I don't remember what she said her snake looked like, but I was in my backyard, and there was a privacy fence (and at that tim we just had a chain link fence), and this yellow snake with green spots on it's back came over the fence.
                              I mean like, YELLOW and.. grass green circles, perfect circles, on it's back. I was standing on my back porch, and I couldn't have been more than four or five. I remember we still had sliding glass doors too. The snake bit me on my the back of my hand/wrist area, and it left a red mark, but it didn't hurt at all.
                              Then Gramma came outside for like, two seconds, said "Oh, for the love of," and walked back inside. The snake and I exchanged confused looks and then I woke up.

                              I don't have any fear of snakes though, but I'm pretty weary around venomous snakes.
