What Were Your Greatest Fears As A Child? by lonipeter(m): 1:37pm On Jan 27, 2013
Hi peeps, as a child, we worry about some things, sometimes irrationally, mine was bed wetting, I do ask myself 'when will I (or 'will I ever...) stop bed wetting?' and I always fear being in an enclosure (a phobia). What are yours?

It reminds me of those days..
Mine was my SHADOW. I used to call it ojuju then and my parents made maximum use of that sh*t when they told me it is always monitoring me and that it always report my movement when I'm asleep at night... That thing always made me behave

I grew up in the north and I had freinds that lost their parents to religious crisis. My greatest fear was loosing mine.

Mine was the dark. ...which was made worse by my overactive imagination.

It's me who saw two cats with shiny eyes behind the water heater in the bathroom.

I was the one who saw someone wearing all white disappearing into a wall.

Shape of what looks like a bird perched on the ceiling fan nko? Na me see am.

The worst was when I swore I saw the face of a recently deceased family friend appearing on the walls.

And when I saw those things I'd get so hysterical....hyperventilating, almost to the point of passing out. Oy!

It got to the point where as soon as Nepa took light at night (which thankfully they didn't do too often...Yeah that's how we rolled in the North cheesy ) my parents or siblings would start shouting "Sisi do not move, sit right there! Just sit and don't move an inch...." so I'd close my eyes, hold my breath and wait until the gen came on.

Twas a terrifying experience. . .very funny looking back now. cheesy

Darkness was my fear and I always had hallucinations. Worst years of my life. I think I outgrew it when I was 13 or so.

Sleeping at night. Just like Sisi_Kill, I had this crazy mind that made imaginations look real. At night, I was always thinking about weird things unimaginable but me? I imagined them.


That shi..t crayy!!

The dark, always imagined that the guy from evil encounter was coming for me. The theme song of Things fall apart, very very creepy song. I still can't listen to that song without looking behind me.
