One morning when I was little I stayed in bed until my mom came to see if I was allright because there was a pile of clothes on my chair and I thought it was a person and was afraid to move.
I was also terrified of the bubbles in my bubble bath. I knew that you could die from putting your head in a plastic bag, and all the little bubbles looked like clear bags.

Tamyu said:No, I`m fairly certain it was a movie!
I can just vaguely remember seeing a woman showering, when the water turns to blood. I`m pretty certain she turns it off, then back on, and it`s water again which washes the blood down the drain.
I don`t think the movie scared me all that much, but that image stuck with me so strongly that even NOW I sometimes get the urge to check!
It *is* possible that it came from a book though - my mother had a vast library of horror novels, and I was reading through them before I was even in school! That`s probably a big reason I`m a Fortean now, come to think about it.

Is it just me , or were adults really sadistic back then ?
problem is know, altho im a Terry Pratchett fan i cant read Hat Full of Sky which features Jenny Greenteeth, it still freaks me out. did it's job tho!
(best of Media)I used to believe that if my mom used a household cleaner other than Mr. Clean, that Mr. Clean would come and kill us all.

PUPILS DIE IN GHOST PANIC
Seven children were killed in a stampede on a primary school stairs sparked by a pupil's shout of "ghost !"
Thirty-seven others were hurt , five of them seriously , as the pupils left their school by a darkened stairwell .
The cause of the tragedy in Tongjiang , southwest China , was still being investigated last night.
But locals claim the kids had panicked when one of them claimed to have seen a ghost.
The frightened childern started running , causing a deadly crush on the stairwell .
I still remember a scene from S&S where there's a guy with his head in his hands, who then looks up and at the camera. His face, from forehead to chin, is just mincemeat, no features at all. Shat me up for years.GhostWriter1 said:I can remember being petrified by the tv show Sapphire & Steel, God knows why :shock: :lol: :lol:
