I was scared of being shot and also scared of being put in jail. I know both seem funny but I was genuinely terrified of them both.
What were you scared of when you were a child?

I've always been a scaredy cat, even now.
If I stay up watching tv and an advert for a horror film comes on, I have to phone my husband on his mobile too get out of bed and walk me up the stairs. He shouted Blair witch at me once when we walked past a wood and I cried lol

You sound like me!
A few months ago we had finished watching a horror film and as I walking up the stairs BF turned the lights off in the corridor, so that the house was in darkness...I pretty certain the neighbours 5 doors down could here me shrieking!!! Xx

No, neither did I!
I think I heard it mentioned on TV and, being a child, my imagination did the rest.

I was scared of Ursula from the little mermaid!!
Now I'm scared of daddy long legs (eeuuuurrrghhhhh they make my blood run cold) and dark rooms, freaks me out thinking there might be someone in there! Watched Mama which didn't scare me but I have a built in wardrobe like the one in the film and it just gives me the creeps... I'm really quite pathetic :o

I remember being scared to death in the night of an awful scary noise in the garden and shouting for my dad.It stopped and he said I was probably dreaming it happened again a while later and we discovered it was Hedgehogs mating.Foxes also make a horrible scary noise.
Lol, I also run too the bed when I've turned the lights off incase there's something on the floor and never ever let my legs or feet hang over the bed because as a child I was scared there was something under the bed and kept a coathanger on my bed post too hit whatever was hiding if it came out lol that's still stuck with me but I don't have a coathanger anymore

Being without my blankie. We were visiting family in Florida when I was about 4. On our way home to Ohio, my Grandma realized we had forgot my blankie, we turned around to get it. We had been on the road for 4 hours, my Grandpa was not happy!

Goosebumps books and the programme on nickelodeon! Are you afraid of the dark comment reminded me! I couldn't stop reading them even though i had nightmares! We had a tree in the back corner of our garden & i had a terrible nightmare there was a man dressed in black with a white face standing under it looking into my bedroom, i avoided that corner for years lol!!

Also my sisters friend decided to tell me & my friend a bunch of ghost stories about things under beds etc, pretty crap but we were scared for months! I used to wrap my duvet around me like a sleeping bag & pray i fell asleep asap!!
Omg I was soooo scared of tales of the unexpected music. It used to be on on Sunday nights (I don't know why I was up that late) and I used to sit down the other end of the front room with my back to the telly and cotton wool in my ears whilst I did my colouring book! I still don't like it now and my kids got it up on you tube and couldn't see what the fuss was about!. I was also petrified of Planet of the Apes, particularly the baddy in black. We couldn't even have that on in my house coz I would have nightmares for months (the doctor prescribed me phenergan!!). Also hated hammer house of horror music which I could hear upstairs in bed on a Friday night. Oh and Sapphire and Steele used to terrify me too. God I was a right scaredy cat! Thing is I'm still funny about theme music now and my son when he was young used to be terrified of the catchphrase duh duh noise and family fortunes too!!

I was scared of my father.
He was a bitter, miserable, nasty example of a man.
My sister and I were adopted as babies (not related), and it was a daily chant that we should be grateful because if it hadn't been for him we'd be in a children's home.
He told me again and again that I was stupid and ugly.
Here I am at almost 50 and his words haunt me every single day of my life, and they still have the power to reduce me to tears and shaking.
The fears induced by real events and people are, for me, far more terrifying than any Hollywood director could dream up.
The way we speak to our children becomes their inner voice...

I seem to have something in my eye...
Thank you, to everyone on here who finds what I waffle on about interesting and/or useful.
When I'm sobbing in my kitchen my lovely humsbums gets cross with me for my lack of self belief and points out all the hearts and rep points I have from here.
"How can you possibly believe that you're stupid? There are people on SG who thank you every day for your help!"
And that, my friends, is the power of the long dead dad.

The Pink Panther! I would hear the music when I was in bed and imagine the pink panther creeping up the stairs in time to the music. I would get out of bed and balance on the skirting board along the hall until I reached my brother's bedroom where I would jump into his bed. It still gives me the creeps now.
