When I was about 5 years old I walked into my parents room and the wall that their headboard was on there were two little windows above them.

Not regular windows these were like 2 ft by 3 ft long and the bottom of the window started at about I would say 8 ft but anyway I walked into their bedroom

I was talking with my dad and all the sudden he could see it on my face cuz I turned pure White I think and I stopped talking my dad could just see that look in my eyes he goes what's wrong what is wrong and there was a white Sasquatch or whatever they're called they walked up and looked into the window and just was staring at me eye contact all I did is I could just point this I mean I couldn't say anything he was up and out of that bed before I pointed and he was out the front door and when he came back he said I didn't see anybody what did you see and I told him and he kind of like looked at me

And my mom said something like you've been watching too much TV or something and my dad said no he saw it he saw something he goes I saw the look in his eyes the fear on his face

And then he said that window is 8 ft it's very bottom no man could walk up and looking at window and I said it wasn't a man he said no I believe you. I swear that's what

The next day we went over and talked to my grandfather and he's Cheyenne and he said that was my spirit guide so I was good after that

I was pretty bold. I mean, there were things that scared me, like some horror movies, but I didn't have any phobias.

Although, when I was really young, some kids pretended to put a bug down my pants and I freaked out. I ran home screaming in terror and my mom had to undress me and assure me there there were no bugs on me.
And another time again, when I was really young, I was playing with a friend in a vacant lot and looked down to see ants on my shoe. There was a hole in the toe of my shoe and I thought they were climbing inside. That freaked me out.

So, maybe I had a fear of crawly bugs getting inside my clothes when I was little.

The only other thing was, there were a couple of times when big kids chased me and I imagined that they would beat me up or torture me in some way.

Bees. I used to fear bees because... they stung and they flew around. My parents told me I cried when I was just a toddler because the bees. I think it was they were everywhere and they would sting me and ohhhh shhhhhhit!

Nowadays, I see bees are necessary. And really just wanna do it's job and left alone. If they have to sting, they will.

molonski2 · Answer

Think as a really young kid , I was a bit fearful of the night , fear is actually a reasonable mechanism for the body , and is an important life saver actually , the " No Fear " T-shirt brand , this is not healthy to promote , particularly with young males.

Not , too much scares me these days , heavy traffic , driving too fast ( that's every driver here ) , Criminals with nothing to loose , fast food ( when I see people think this is a part of life ) , and the acceptance of Obesity , these are all frightening things in todays world.

When I was 5, my brother thought it would be hilarious to vacuum up my favourite blankey infront of me. My mother had to pull it out of the vacuum and it was ripped to shreds. Traumatised me and made me terrified of vacuum cleaners for years! I don’t think I got over that fear until I was 13. I can laugh about it these days, but at the time it was horrible.

horatiohornblower · Answer

That I’d be abducted by aliens. “Unsolved Mysteries” and “Fire in the Sky” made me paranoid of that.

I was also afraid the Boogeyman would get me. If I went out at night. Didn’t help that my Dad would point to trees at night suddenly and call out, “Look! Did you see him? The Boogeyman was in that tree!”

nolabels · Answer

The basement steps.

There were no kickboards on the basement steps in my childhood home. My siblings and I used to fear that the boogeyman lived under them and would reach through the steps to get us as we climbed to the top. My older brother used to run to the top and turn off the lights before us younger kids got all the way up the stairs. When the lights went out, the fear level magnified exponentially.

Yep.

If i go around anything, I might get transported into a different world. My parents will be different, my siblings and everybody else.

e. g. if i go around a tree, my whole world could switch and i'd end up with totally different people. xD

Pretty terrified of the dark after seeing this weird werewolf movie from forever ago. Had to force myself to camp out in our backyard one night to face my fear and get over it. Not much sleep that night but I survived and haven’t been scared since.

AaronKrieger · Answer

The dark. I no longer get paranoid/nervous or think something is there when I am in a dark room. Sure, if I just watched a horror movie/show, then sure, but it won't last long.
