Closet Monsters.

I don't know how I missed this thread...but I absolutely totally feel the same way! No open closet doors for me AND the door to the room MUST be open. (I have a super hard time in hotels. The last time I was in a hotel I resolved that by not sleeping but about 30 minutes. lol) I'm glad to know I'm in good company, Rainy. I, too, begin to see things if ever the closet door is left open, and I won't even be staring.

I wish I could blame my fears on Freddie. Then I could "just get over it". I have felt this way...not letting my legs or arms hang off the bed...as long as I can remember.

I really think that is a good idea. Even though I highly doubt I'd be able to leave the door open, I'd feel much better.

 

Oh jeez, I just remembered I made a thread about this...
Lynn, I'm glad I'm not alone.
You know what is even worse than closets???? Underneath beds!!!! I'm being serious. Even just having my feet hang off the bed and imagining something grabbing them scares the crap out of me. It shakes me up.

 

I haven't really thought about it. I never had a big closet until I moved to our new house. I always make sure the doors are closed just because it looks neater than clothes on hangers and shoes on the floor. We still have one or two boxes in the corner of the closet that we haven't bothered to unpack since the move.

 

closet monsters are some of my best friends. even when i've lived in places that didn't have closets.

 

well, I'm fairly certain closets are portals..
and I'm thinking both good and bad energies can travel through them..

or maybe the good is in the closet and the bad is under beds??

 

well there aren't good or bad. there are people and there are animals (which people are too, only a more special kind of).

monster is just a word people made up, like boogie man, to scare each other.

energies aren't good or bad, they're just energies.

the only good and bad, is when someone chooses not to care how something affects anything else, then bad can happen, whether anyone intends it to or not.

 

that does make sense

I'm still not sure why I'm so freaked out by the underneath of beds. I don't think I was ever really instilled with the fear of "monsters" as a child.

As an adult now, I don't like a raised bed. I just like the mattress to be on the floor..

 

I respectfully disagree...

I felt fear of the things I both saw and sensed well before I was ever told to/conditioned by society. In fact, when I would express such in my home, I was poo-pooed and told I was being silly, ridiculous, etc etc. We were not allowed to watch on TV what little bit of stuff was scary back in the day when I was a child, so it cannot be said I "got that from TV."

My "craziness" preceeded being told (by TV or society) there was anything but humans or animals or that I should be scared if I encountered whatever. My very limited social environment was the home and church and neither place encouraged the way I thought...in fact, my way of thinking was greatly discouraged. I also had good experiences with my little friend no one else could see and an occasional angel or friendly spirit. I guess I'm relating this as an example that in spite of what all of those around me would have me think, my own, original thoughts somehow managed to persevere. It pleases me to see that my way of thinking is not just mine alone...there are others that feel the same way.

I think there are good (positive) and bad (negative) energies.

I think animals as well as humans have souls.

I also think there is good and evil, right along with there being spirits and angels...but that is just my opinion...just like you have your's.

 

so you have monsters coming out of the closet?

 

lol...no I banished them! Plus I keep any closet door closed and literally never sleep without a light on somewhere. I can't/don't sleep in total darkness.

(fyi - they hate a light.)

 

watch out for the boogie men tonight whooooooooooo:2thumbsup:

I wish there was such things

 

My daughter started to have a fear of closets being open when she was really young, probably around 3.

She is 19 now and still can not stand to have her closet door left open. No logic or reason ever changed what she felt.

So her doors are closed and she sleeps. Works.

 

That cute

 

when I was younger, I never really thought a lot about things like that, but when I was 35 or maybe 36, I got an android phone and I opened an app called ghost radar classic.
After that, I really regret fooling with that. I had some kind of being which I have no clue what it was, but it tormented me for at least 6 months. I am not making this up. to this day I will sleep without a lamp on. this thing knocked me down a few times, it spoke through the phone and it new everybody's name in the house. someone would wake up at night to use the bathroom and it would say who it was and what they were doing. From the details it gave, I know it was something. It scared the crap out of me. I deleted the app off of the phone and it would still speak through it. I smashed that phone and got another one. I was pushed, knocked over, it would say things right by my ear that I couldn't really understand, but it would be 74 or 75 degrees and all of a sudden it was so cold frost would come out of your breath. It really scared the shit out of me, and now I pray a whole lot more, ask St, Micheal to stay around and protect my family. sometimes I feel something sitting on my bed while I am in it. I will never fool with anything like that again, when something is there and u don't now what it is or how to protect yourself, you feel helpless. it is a very scary situation. I would not lie to you, if you are thinking about fooling with something like that, DON"T! I really hope you all isten to me, I am just trying to be helpful. you all have a good one.

 

I used to be like that when I was a kid. Shit, I'm STILL like that.
I used to imagine Freddy Kruger lived under the bed at night when I was little- 5 or 6 years old... I no longer imagine what is under the bed but I do not leave an arm or leg or what not hanging over the bed. Big no no.
I also used to...when I was little think a witch lived in my closet.

 

In highschool I went to a party at the house from the 2nd movie where they did the pool scene. You're post made me think what if your parents would've bought that house and moved in when you were little. lol

 

hopefully they wouldn't have told me about it. if I would have found out...we would have been moving. I can almost guarantee it. lol.
