I was deathly afraid vampires were going to sneak into my house at night and give me the S U C C. So I used to sleep with a pillow around my neck, as if ol' Count Drac couldn't just yank the pillow away. I also fully believed vampires couldn't come inside unless invited in but that logic didn't get in the way of me still believing they were going to break in somehow.
I used to watch Ghost Hunters with my mom before bed as a kid, so I always had a fear I'd hear voices at night or see a face looking at me in a window or something. I was also afraid of being in our unfinished basement. So yeah, I can relate lol
