What monsters lived in your house when you were young?

[Mysterian]

I had some kind of monsters under my bed. Not sure what type as I always protected myself fully at night: Under sheets, nothing exposed.

There was also a spider monster who lived down the toilet and round a few bends. The flush was his signal there was a possible victim in the bathroom so I had to flush and get out by the time the flushing had stopped. Oh, did I mention he rode a motorbike?

None but Larry Grayson was my invisible friend.

Lots of ghosts and a monster who would bite my feet if they stuck out over the edge of the bed.

My parents.

I didn't need imaginary ones. The real ones were enough.

Grotbags lived in my mum's wardrobe.

Skeletons. Skeletons everywhere in every shadow, clinking about trying to get me.
My parents loved watching archiological TV programs and thus, lots of half dug up skeletons. I was terrified of them.
Also actual demons.

My ds1 was terrified of unspecific monsters. I persuaded him that all monsters are in fact made of jelly and that all he needed to do was take a spoon to bed and they'd not bother him as monsters are scared of spoons.
It actually worked. He reminded me about that recently. I'd also told him that I don't like monsters and if I found one I'd tell it off and throw it out the window.

I had an American aunty who used to go on about the "dust bunnies" under her bed... of course I took that literally... mine were vampire bunnies made of dust that sometimes had chainsaws.

I spent ages trying to work out how you could kill something made of dust. Big brother, practical as ever came in with the hoover one night and got rid of them.

We had dinosaurs who lived down the plughole; Quentin and Marmaduke (and another, but I can't remember it's name)

And the baddies from home alone were in our toilet.

And wolves. Especially the wolf from the Disney version of Peter and the wolf.

That's really adorable! Totally going to use that if I ever need to (I look after little ones).
