Weird title, huh? Well, this video shows a couple of skeletons - the remains of two people who had rocks stuffed in their mouths when they were buried. I guess back in 700 AD this was done to prevent people's souls from coming back to reanimate their bodies as undead.
Freaky.
So. Confession time for me.
When I was a kid I went through a phase where I HAD to sleep with the lights on. No dinky little night light would do. I had to have the bedroom lights on. Why? To keep the vampires away of course. Duh. Served my disobediant little self right though. I wasn't allowed to watch TV while my parents were gone and I did anyways. I came across a show about a vampire who (obvs) murdered a lot of women. He was pretty scary stuff. Hence, my fear.
I also had a bizarre but real fear of the flushing toilet in the middle of the night. So I didn't flush it. Gross, I know.
For most of my growing up years I refused to say my prayers kneeling beside my bed (as my parents had taught me) because I didn't want whatever was living under my bed to grab me. Prayers were only said once I was safely under the covers.
Oh, and when I was older I was afraid of mummies. Thanks to my study of ancient Egypt. Nice, huh?
Confession time for you! What irrational fears do you have? Or did have?
Come on. I want to hear about it. :D

(if only my 9 year old imagination had conjured up something this cute! i would have been a lot less stressed. source.)
