I was afraid of big brown spiny cave crickets when I was little, 'cause one jumped on me once and after that I thought they all wanted to jump on me and sting me with their spiny legs. (Actually, I'm still scared of that...)
I used to be scared to go in the bathroom when the shower curtain was closed when I was little because I thought skeletons or inferi/zombies/reanimated dead people (I didn't really know what to call them, I just thought "dead people") would hide back there and jump out to get me when I went to the bathroom.
I was also scared of monsters under the bed, but once I was in bed and under the covers they couldn't get me, so if I had to get out of bed at night I'd jump way far out from the bed and then jump back in when I got back 'cause they won't actually come out from under the bed, they just grab your ankles from underneath when you go to get back in.
I think I was scared of the dark, too, but that was less specific fear.
Oh! And I used to believe that all of my stuffed animals and dolls would come to life at night, so I was afraid that if I didn't give them all equal attention, they'd come to life and get me, so I'd hug all my stuffed animals before I went to bed. (Yeah, I was a weird little kid...)

That's all I can think of right now! ^_^
