So many comics use the “closet monster” or “monster under the bed” trope as a common feature of childhood. But I don’t recall ever believing in something like that … Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, sure, but no monsters. Nor have any of the kids I’ve been closely associated with … so I’m curious, is it just a comics thing, or have any of you believed in such things when you were little?
After reading John Keel’s “Strange Creatures from Time and Space” I did have bad thoughts about “monstrous faces” peering into houses that have been reported. No never happened. I sleep with the blinds up at night now.

A well known comedian would say that one must be completely covered as monsters can’t touch covers. They will just walk around the bed.

As a child I once thought a disembodied hand was on my bed. I was so scared I could not move or make a sound… so yes!
