Am I the only person slightly scared of Mothman?! He still gives me the creeps, but I think that's a throwback to the days when I was a kid and I used to get all those "earths great mysteries and ghosts" type books from the library. I swear that at five and six you're not quite old enough to cope with such Fortean weirdness!
I remember even Jef the talking Mongoose (or Jef the strange girl doing crap ventriloquism for her bored parents on a remote island!) scared me. I also remember a kids book featuring a lurid picture of a hairy, grinning vampire coming out from under somebody's bed. (I think it was called the Usbourne Book of Vampres and Werewolves if anyone remembers it?).
Now if anything's gonna scare a kid...
