Did you fear witches growing up?

I have never been afraid of witches, but I was (and I am) kind of afraid of ghosts and sleep paralysis.

No only ghosts and demon possession and animated dolls.

my nanny used to tell me stories of witches and wolves waiting by my windowsill, ready to seize me were i to sneak out of bed for any reason.

she was a poor psychologist, as the stories only served to intrigue me into developing comfort with dark subjects, and all that is possible at night. Poe and King then came along, adding deeply satisfying entertainment and poetry to otherwise fearful things.

I'm trying to figure out why the hell it has the theme music from the American comedy Soap on it.

I didn't find it funny, just annoying. Maybe I'm missing something.

Just got back off holiday so late reply, but it was more of a vent goers joke I think. Rather than any inherent humour in the video itself.

There was always whispered stories of brujos doing strange evil things out in the empty desert on the outskirts of my Texas border town that scared me. After I had moved away, I learned that there is a lot of peyote related activity due to it growing naturally in my old stomping grounds.

The Wizard of Oz taught me all about equal opportunity witching.
"Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?"

It also taught me to pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Not witches. I think I maybe even liked them. I was scared of rabies and wolves the most.

Witches no, but my various paranormal experiences as a child sure spooked me. I also had an irrational fear of bigfoot, that got worse whenever I visited my family in Montana. :p

The Bunyip

It was the Bunyip, a strange large threatening creature of the never ending Australian Bush, lurking just out of the firelight, ready to devour naughty children.

Witches? No. I always wanted to be one, until I discovered that actual witchcraft was really quite ordinary. Then it lost its appeal completely. I feared poltergeists.

Witches did not scare me. I think I've always felt I could overpower a witch.


Little demons lurking in the shadows... waiting to slice open my achilles tendon D:




But I'm with you on the paradigm shift. People are new-agey. I find suspicion of higher institutional conspiracy particularly irksome.

Yes, i was terrified of witches. I would sleep with my head under the covers so the witches couldn't get me while i was sleeping.

Was never afraid of witches, per se, but my god did this movie scare this shit out of me when I was a kid.


Even the book itself was pretty horrifying. I guess the moral of the story is that I'm down with witches, but Roald Dahl? Not so much.

It didn't occur to me to be afraid of witches when I was little. When I was a little older I was taught they could be real and exercise power, but not over Christians. I don't necessarily believe Christians are immune anymore, but I don't think undeserved curses 'come to rest' as the Proverbs say and I try to make it a point to 'harm no one.' I generally like Wiccans and relate to them better than my coreligionists. So, whatever that all means.

Of things that go bump in the night, I was afraid to show favoritism to particular stuffed animals -- I did not want any of them to feel the need to avenge the slight should they come to life.

I didn't think of clowns just out of nowhere, but they have scared me since I was little. When I was four my mom took me to the circus and one got me in the eye with a squirt gun. Then, when I was ten or eleven, my friend's mom took a bunch of us to see Poltergeist and that just made it a hundred times worse.
