I have a younger brother (3 years separate us)... The best hiding spot in the house was on top of the refrigerator... I was probably 5-6 he was 2-3... My mother would set me on top of the fridge and I would watch my brother run around the house looking every where for me yelling "bahboo where are you!"

to this day i still have no idea what bahboo meant but it was his name for me...

In a foot-wide gap between my bunkbed and the bedroom wall, although I used it to hide from the shame of acknowledging mistakes I made to my parents, and for copious crying after it caught up with me.

We'd drive to a park in the next county. Mom would say, "Let's play hide and seek." They never found me. Never could figure out why she suggested it. She got bored quickly and would get in the car an leave.:\

This small clearing deep in the woods that had an old pile of rebar and concrete junk laying around that actually somehow made a fine picnic table and seats for 2
It sat on a cliff edge and had great views

Lawlz; Stealth story of mom getting drugs in exchange for sex is crazy funny.

I don't know if this classifies as a hiding spot, but we built an 8'x8' underground fort in the woods. It was pretty cool, it had 2x4 framing with plywood walls and my best friend's dad actually ran power from their house to it so in the winter we could heat it with an electric heater and listen to music.

I visited it a few years back, and it had rotted out and was just a hole in the ground now :(

We had a humongus oak next to our house. I constructed a rudmentary "lounge" about 2/3 of the way up and used to sit up there and read for hours when I was a kid.

Sinkhole out in the woods. My friends and I threw a huge wooden ladder inside and still needed a rope to reach it. Yeah, we were fearless. :)

My grandparents had an old farm about a five minute walk away, and I used to hang out in the barn. It was very dark and kind of creepy, old farm equipment and hay all over.

On the roof. The house was a big rambling old farmhouse with sections built at different times, with great nooks and corners for hanging out in. I would read for hours or play cards etc. I had 4 older brothers who mostly didn't want a pesky little sister hanging out with them, and a younger sister who - um - I needed to get away from sometimes because she was a pesky little sister who just wanted to hang out with me all the time.

On the dinging room chairs when they were tucked under the table. There was a table cloth that dropped down so you couldn't see me unless your lifted the cloth. Was never found there playing hide and seek with my siblings.
