Name something that seemed overwhelmingly scary to you as a kid that turned out not to be relevant to your adulthood.

Unplugging the telly at night was mine....if ya didn't unplug the telly going to bed you'd all die in your sleep

Antrim Town

Neighbours Alsatian always barking at us kids playing out in the square, gave me a fear of dogs as a child, now as an adult I realise it was barking so much because it was always outside chained up in the back garden, just wanted some attention.

Bees. Was always terrified of them. Lived in Cyprus for alot of years, had a hornet's nest in an air vent, and would regularly get them in the house, as long I left them alone, they left me alone.

Wasps on the other hand...bast**ds.

Afraid of ghosts but realised we have more to fear from the living than the dead.

There were always very relevant fears growing up where I did but the scariest thing is that none of them frightened me because it was the norm and that was all I knew.

Yes, we were very sheltered from it all down here, oblivious to what it was like up North.

If you didn't run up the stairs after turning the downstairs lights out at night, some kind of ghost/monster/burglar would get you

We were poor growing up and didn't have a indoor bathroom. So as small kids so it was so fucking scary at night to use the outdoor toilet. You'd nearly pee yourself in terror! We did have one fancy porcelain chamberpot but that was for visitors only!

Some of Edmund Rice's Christian Brothers used to really terrify me, but now I realise they were victims too; brow-beaten inadequates often with deeply repressed sexual needs cajoled by their families into becoming warped, sick sadistic, perverted bastards who should never have been allowed near children.

One female drama teacher and her mother. I got a clatter round the face for asking a question before going on stage. Seeing her years on i wanted to say something but thought it's best not to. The both of them scared me as a child.

Confined spaces. After being trapped in a lift when I was young the fear even stopped me from going inside the great pyramid at giza when I was 12. Doing army assault courses really sorted out that fear in my 20s x

"The Exorcist had a lasting negative affect on me "

I agree wholeheartedly. It is by a long chalk, the most terrifying movie ever made. Truly shocking. I did not sleep for days after first seeing it in 1975.
