That's what I said!!

When I was that age I was afraid of the witch from "Sigmund and the Sea Monster" so I can totally relate! I think you nailed it with the alligator spray.

I used to have an invisible bottle of "monster spray" and I would walk around and "spray" it in all the corners, in the closet, under the bed and behind the door, in my sons' room when I put them to bed (making psssst pssst spraying noises and mining the spraying process). It worked great, and every now and then I would catch one of them "spraying" something when they woke up.

It's good to have a way to fight back against the ghoulies and ghosties and long leggety beasties when uou are a small person!

maybe watch some Steve Irwin series or better yet, his Daughter Bindi Irwin has her own program and that may help her to see that crocodiles/aligators can be killed and they are not really big monsters.

My Son has a stuffed fluffy crocodile that I have kept, it is cute and could be theraputic. He is 16 now and doesn't need it, it you have a p o box number, I could post it to you.
