"The Killakee Cat.
The Hellfire Club.
Stepping on a comb and incurring the wrath of a banshee.
And the 1000s of superstitions me Ma drilled into me as a kid "
I take it the cat is from the bottom of the hill underneath The Hell Fire Club |

I accidentally jumped feet first on a 3 pin plug in bare feet when I was younger and for years after I had fear of stepping on one again when walking in the dark   |

The jammie & the orkie!
They were huge orchard fields up a steep hill opposite my house. The Jammy so called as it used to be a jam factory. The orkie was the orchard. Guard dogs & men roamed around there constantly!! |

"I wonder is the wooden spoon an Irish thing or did it reach other countries "
The wooden spoon was the worst!
One time Mama TK got so mad at her Little Manbeast that she broke the spoon over his well sculpted bottom! 
"So sorry Mama...." |

"The Sacred Heart picture at the top of the stairs with the stupid red bulb underneath. It literally frightened the bejesus out of me.
we still have one in the living room at home "
Trauma...and long lasting. Does yours stare at you when you walk past. Because the one in The Ma's house did. I swear the Sacred Heart learned from the Aul Dear the 50 yard stare |

"That little bollox from Salem’s lot who floated outside the window ,still fucking haunts me ,Danny flick was his name "
Still one of the scariest films I ever saw.
Didn't help that I watched it on a stormy night in the wilds of Scotland in a room with big windows and no curtains. The shadows outside were |

"That little bollox from Salem’s lot who floated outside the window ,still fucking haunts me ,Danny flick was his name "
That's a good shout, that whole movie freaked me out as a kid.
The above scene, the bit with the guy in the rocking chair (Look at me teacher!), and the bit where the Master wakes up. I remember it was on over 2 nights on BBC1 in the mid 80s. The only reason I watched it was because the guy from Starsky and Hutch was in it |

"The canon.
And not because "priest" but he used to come to our national school and we were fucking terrified. I blame the teachers, they talked him up as if he was coming to judge our souls."
You just reminded me of confessions in the storeroom |

Blood - anytime myself or my siblings had a wound I was the first who fainted
The fear gone one evening when mich taller guy took my younger sister new diary and started to read her secrets, etc
No time to think bing bang and he was down
The priest seen that and told our parents
They asked us to tell the truth. We did. The priest smiled and came to the house in other estate to talk with that older boy's parents
That was the way boys in the primary school learnt how to respect girls

Salem's Lot scared the hell out of me and, at a younger age, the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I never took sweets from a stranger but I've read every Stephen King book since we and love them |

"Bombs, bullets and people wearing masks"
I could imagine as my mother went through the same thing, fair play... anyway mine was the dag at the top of my street every time I went out the door it went for me.

and Nuclear war.
I was afraid of The Dark. and, for a while, toilets - cos I heard there were rats in drains and was afraid they would swim up and bite my bum.
