@Nic1202 In my generation, clowns were seen as friendly figures. Ever since Stephen King's IT, I've seen them as creepy fecks.

I hated it when the door of my room was closed when I was supposed to sleep and I hated darkness during the night.... so my room door always had to be ajar and a small lamp always had to be switched on in the hallway. ;)

@RobinPhoenix I could literally see like a cat in the dark as a kid. My mum, who could not, insisted on night lites.

@RobinPhoenix I lost it a few years ago around the time I got bifocals. As a child, the pupils of my eyes were enormous, like a cats'. With the aging process, they became normal sized.

I was scared of Santa Claus and the hell.

My grandaunt always told me that Santa Claus will come and slap me, put me in his big sac and take me away from my home and I always was released when the day passed and he didn´t take me away.

Furthermore I was scared a lot of the hell because my grandaunt told me stories about stories, what it is for a terrible place and that potentially I will be there one day. 😕
