I just got myself well and truly in the s**t with my mates missus by telling his kids this: You know how you always find gloves, trainers, and other items of clothing by the side of the road? Well, they're all that's left of people who've been zapped by martian tripods that have been trying to invade during the night, when ya go to sleep. Birds flew off rooves a mile away at the scream these kids gave me. Oooops. Looks like I'll be in the pub on my own for a bit...

I would have gone looking for 'em. ;D I always thought that velociraptors were cute. (Then again, this was the child form of the person whos mind created cute martians. ) Probably would have gone out to find those martians, too. ;D

Yeah, well after each episode of the BBC's adaptation of "Day of the Triffids" I used to go and make knocking sounds on my brother's bedroom door after he'd gone to bed... Evil! ;D (people who remember this series will know what I'm talking about ) KR

I used to believe that something lived under my bed or in my cupboard. However then one day I worked out that nothing could fit in there! Oh, that day I was so relieved.
But even now I still jump at seeing unexpected shadows dart across my room. Then I calm down and go to sleep. End of unexciting story Number 1.

I saw the BBC kid's TV series 'The Tripods' at around age four. I was terrified of them and would run out the room when they popped up over the horizon on screen. Unfortunately, this clashed with a National Electricity Grid advert on TV that showed pylons uprooting themselves and marching around the UK.
Net result? I become convinced that pylons ARE tripods and I scream whenever my mum takes me near one. This was a problem for her as one of her best friends lives next to a pylon.
A lot of sore times of my mum there, dragging me past pylons, me screaming in terror.
I grew out of it though.
When I got to uni.

P.S: Embarrassingly, apart from the uni-joke, all that is true. Good job I didn't read TWOTW until I was eight, eh, kids?

Hence why you're called 'Nervous Pete'? Actually, its not a bad thing to be scared of pylons...if you weren't you might have been tempted to climb all over them KR

Being tempted to climb on them could lead to an obsession with them - every child in the world would soon love pylons... and if everyone was obsessed with pylons, we'd have a planetful of Poyks'!

Well this seems *very* silly now that I'm (a lot) older, but I remember being terrified of something I saw in a B&W Sinbad movie when I was very young. This evil magician had the ability to extend his arms out like snakes, and when Sinbad was sleeping the magician sent his arm along the hallway, creeping into Sinbad's room...
I started sleeping in the exact center of my bed, on the theory that if snakes climbed up the bedposts, they couldn't reach me as easily if I were away from the edge. What's really strange is that I've never been afraid of snakes; I used to play with wild snakes all the time when I was a kid.
Maybe this is a bit off topic, since no one else told me a tale to scare me, it was just a movie. But it seemed appropriate to share, given the subject.
