I was an anxious kid too. I lay awake at night a lot. I also believed all kinds of odd stuff, that my school was haunted (by the ghost of Anne Frank). Yeah I was obsessed with Anne Frank, we read her in 4th grade or so, that was probably why! I would try to point out "ghosts" to other people, and got into a group of girls who did a lot of seances and stuff. I got into lots of time outs for it but in my mind it was absolutely 100% real that this dead Flemish girl lived in our suburban town.
