What was your most irrational fear as a child?

[TPA85]

Tornadoes. Not an irrational fear in itself, but how I perceived and coped was irrational.
Every time the slightest bit of wind would come through I was sure the whole house was about to be blown away. Then I would go sit in a ball in one specific corner of the living room where I couldn't see directly out any windows.
I was a mess.

My parents wouldn't let me watch it so I sneaked into the room where my cousins were watching one day. I had (and still have) an absurd amount of stuffed animals, dolls, and toys. I laid awake every night for weeks convinced I was in a room full of murderers. You are not alone.

bees, hornets, yellowjackets.

although i've never been stung (and to my knowledge do not have an allergy), i was was convinced i was going to be stung to death by a swarm.

actually had a recurring nightmare about the blue angels/thunderbirds performing a stunt which turned them from planes into a swarm of bees.

I had a fear, that if any arms or legs dangled off the side of the bed, something sinister from underneath would reach up and grab it. While that obviously is not true, I'm still funny about letting limbs dangle off the side of the bed.

To the tornado comment above--each time there was a tornado watch (which I often confused with a warning), I would go to my room and collect my baby dolls, My Kirsten American Girl doll and all of her stuff, and bring them to the basement (barbies were already in the basement) so they would not get blown away. Drove my mother NUTS!
