I was definitely afraid of many things due to my over-active imagination as a kid. I think what I'm about to say takes the cake though. When I was younger, I was deathly afraid of flushing the toilet. Every time, I would take care of business, clean myself up, get the door open, stretch my hand as far as it would go to reach the toilet handle, flush and run like hell! Oh, and the reason I went through this maddening ritual on a daily basis was because I was afraid of the witch that would rise out of the toilet to kill me.
