Werner, 
You must also include "Teddy Bears" in your lexicon of childhood protective devices.  I know that my Teddy was responsible for my safety after the lights were down and suspect that he fought off more monsters than he let on.  Probably trying to spare me the gory details!

Hi Paul,
I must assume you don not have grandchildren; a security blanket is a baby
blanket that most kids use to fall asleep with and for which a replacement is
not acceptable no matter how shabby and threadbare the blanket has become--
and a goblin is ghost, also hobgoblin. Security blankets also have been known
to ward off leprechauns, monsters, witches, dragons, bad guys, and other
assorted imaginary beings kids come up with primarily to delay going
tobed/sleep.
Sorry guys (don't flame me) but I could not resist this one.
Werner
