I was afraid of the dark.
I still sleep with a nightlight, but it actually all started with a stephen king movie.
One day, I was probably about 5, I came in from my little league baseball game and turned on the tv. There was this movie on, I didn't really know what it was, but there was a family trapped in a room by a bunch of rats. It scared the bejeezus out of me and I was convinced they would get me as well. I later found out the movie was The Night Shift...I think?
Anyway, from that day on I had nightlight, and I slept with the blankets over my head.
