something about the uniform pattern of polka-dots always weirded me out. and i used to think that butterflies had teeth, i swear on bit me once. so i used to be deathly afraid of butterflies. im not kidding.
i had the same fear, only it wasnt swampthing it was bigfoot, i had a few reacurring nightmares after watching harry and the hendersons.
Heart beats. Amplified heart beats just frightened the shit out of me for no reason. Don't know why. And the dark. I'm still a little afraid of the dark, but not as much.
I was always scared of the shower. Not of the shower itself, but of what was behind the shower curtain. Our toilet was right up next to it, and I couldn't use the bathroom if the shower curtain was closed. I still sometimes catch myself opening the curtain before I sit down (just out of habit of course).
I guess I had an assortment of fears when I was a kid, but nothing abnormal. I was afraid of creepy, dark doors, for one. Old buildings and antiques creeped me out, for sure. I always would think about the possibility that people from old times had died in old rooms in old buildings, or on the furniture in old buildings...and that there would be some kind of evil or malign residue in them. But at the same time, these things always fascinated me. I also was afraid of creepy old statues. Our family had this yellow, green and brown "dragon" statue on the mantel in the den. It had fangs and stuff, and was a Chinese kind of design. (It turns out that a friend of mine identified that it's actually a stylized pekinese dog, not really a dragon.) I had at least one intense nightmare about it, in which it was possessed by some satanic spirit. I tried to destroy it by burning it, but the only thing I had to use was the barbecue. I ended up grilling the statue. -Jeffrey
