What's the one thing that you fear so much when you were a child?

Anything bloody, gory and scary. I did watch a couple of episodes, but that one particular episode that stuck in my mind is about "Bloody Mary". It wasn't done very tastefully, in a sense that Bloody Mary's face isn't supposed to be pale like Sadako from "The Ring". It should actually be full of welts or scars. The part about chanting "Bloody Mary" in front of the mirror 13 times on a full moon part is correct though.

Hello jcj_111776, I know how that feels for when I was a small child I am scared of the dark. Ghost, zombies, anything that's in a horror movie I was scared of then. I have trouble going to our room to sleep at night because I was scared. I'd have to sleep with somebody for I am afraid to be left alone and the lights must be left on . If I watched a horror movie then I could not sleep the whole night and would wait for the sun to rise, lying there whole time under the bed covers. That's how scared I was when I was a young kid. I'm glad I overcame it when I grew up. Now I am used to the dark, horror movies, etc.. and won't scare of easily. :-)

my greatest fear as a child was looking into the mirror and seeing a gost standing beside me.i saw such a concept in so many movies that it stayed with me wheever i saw it ..i still fear it sometimes.

Yeah, "Thriller" was a pretty scary video, now that I think about it. I vaguely remember there might have been parts of it that I wouldn't watch. When I was small, I was always afraid of the dark. The lightswitch for our basement stairs was low enough that you had to be on the top step to reach it (especially if you were a kid), and I hated having to reach down into the darkness to turn on the lights. I was never sure what would be lurking in the basement, waiting for me! (Of course, there was never anything there.)

Hello jcj. As a child, what I was most scared of was ghosts because I used to listen to older people talk about them. Each time I heard a ghost story, I didn't dare to move on alone in the dark. And I sat in the middle of them while they were telling scary stories. If the story was over, I did not dare to go upstairs. Then I always managed to walk in the middle if there were three people. If there were two, it was side to side walk. Thinking of this timidness as a child, it makes me laugh a lot. Take care, friend.

Hmmm I'm not scared of anything none other than "witch the moomoo monster" lol that was made up by my aunt she said if I didn't sleep it will take me :O.. that's it :P Im not scared of zombies,ghosts,etc when I was a child, Actually I want to see them :P seriously...

My greatest fear as a child was thunder storms! I was scared stiff of them, both the lightning and the thunder itself, I used to run into my mums room with a blanket, pillow and my bear and lie on the floor beside her! Dad used to tell me to get back to bed! But sometimes I got away with it and he didn't hear me come in! I hated it and I used to make my dad promise me it wouldn't thunder if I had to go to bed early! The things you believe as a child! Thankfully I grew out of it, however even now it still makes me jump! It's called brontophobia apparently I found out years ago.

Hi jcj, until now I still don’t understand what is the reason I am so scared of policeman during my childhood. Or might be they looked rather stern in their dark blue uniform and the pistol as well on their waist. During those days I was about eight. My elder brother and I used to walk to school together every morning. On the way to school or back to home sometimes we might come across a couple of policemen. Very often I would try to hide myself behind my brother if they passed by. I would cry frighteningly and hold the hand of my brother tightly behind him if the policemen approached us and tried to chat a word or two with my brother. Of course my parents would console me and told me that policeman was not bad hat and he would take care of kids. I was not afraid of policeman anymore after some time then. Take care and posting.

I was afraid and i'm afraid now too of zombies...:( damn zombie movie ...

when i was young ,some older guys told the ghost tale,when they talked about the ghost ,they always screamed to us ,which scared me a lot. when i was in college i often listened ghost tales on radio,still be scared but excited.

right now i m not able to recall my nightmares when i was child but i remember when i was child i had a big fear of celling fan dropping on me ..! :( Actually at my house we had huge old celling fans which used to give crampy sound every time they were switched on ..

when i was a child i was really afraid of the boogeyman. my big sisters and brother made fun of me about it that i always run to my mom and dad's bedroom to sleep with them! (O_O) lol!
