What Thing Absolutely Terrified You As A Child?

No need to hide under the covers.

Every little kid has something that scares the bejesus out of them.

Sometimes their fears are rational, and sometimes they're a little more out there.

Think back on your own childhood. Chances are, there was something that stalked your nightmares and made your skin crawl.

Maybe the thought of ghosts made you run and hide...

Or perhaps clowns brought tears to your eyes...

Or maybe your fear was irrational, like how the flush of a toilet sounded like a monster was coming to get you.

Share your childhood fear in the comments below and your bête noire just might end up in a future BuzzFeed post!
