 The previous thread was locked because of some offensive comments from only one user, and not from the topic itself.
I rather liked it, and I believe it didn't deserve to die, so I'd like to restart it in the hope that it won't go off topic like last time. I hope the moderators agree! If not, I apologize in advance, and well just lock this one too I guess...  Cheers.

Anyway, back to the task at hand with a creepy story :

I was taking a bath in the evening when nobody was home. As I relaxed in the hot bubbly water, I thought I heard footsteps. I paused and listened. Then suddenly the light was switched off. I stayed there, paralyzed by fear. I actually thought I was living my last moments before being dismembered by a psychopath. (I didn't help that I had watched two CSI episodes in a row right before). I stood perfectly still for a very long while, waiting for the door to creak open and for a knife to glint in the darkness. Everything was perfectly silent. Finally, I emerged from the bath and tiptoed outside. There was no one in the apartment, and the light switch hadn't malfunctioned. 

Turns out it was just my brother who came home early, switched off the lights, and left, not knowing I was there. I felt a bit stupid after this, but it reminded me that death can come when you least expect it, so enjoy life etc. etc.

Nothing quite that dramatic to be honest, my dog creeps me out sometimes when she gets agro at something that I can't see in the house or when walking her in the dark, I remember one time I visited my girlfriends dads grave and I took the dog with me, she started barking at thin air and the hair on her back was standing up, she was really agro with something and pulling on her leash like a loon.



It could just be because she's bat **** crazy though tbh lol.

You have to go into more detail than that.

I remember when I was 10 some guy offered to sell me drugs and that was pretty creepy. I remember I was afraid I was going to get shot if I said no so I just walked the other way and said nothing.

That is bad, but at least he wasn't offering you a puppy or sweets.

When I was a kid probably 7 or 8 I fell down an open manhole. I was in the sewer for a couple of minutes screaming my lungs out til someone found me. To this day sewers, or dark, wet places unnerve me. Maybe also the reason why I hate the word moist.

Interesting... I've visited bunkers, underground tunnels, and even catacombs (if you ever go to Paris check them out! they've got tour guides) and it's really the humidity that gets to you, instead of the darkness or lack of space. Probably an innate fear of contamination?

1. you get your foot stuck while crawling in the crack

2. You hear a flushing noise

3. You see a light at the end of the tunnel (Cool!)

4. It's lava (Not cool!)

5. Big claustrophobia moment

For me, certain textures give me the creeps. A good example is velvet, one way is soft the other is rough. Ugh. Can't stand that. The thought makes the hair on neck stand up.

Haha - I thought I was the only one who hated certain textures.  My most loathed texture is cotton balls.  Ugh, the weird crunchy thing they do... makes me shudder.

My most creepy thing:
I grew up near an airport, and when I was 8 or 9, I saw a small plane crash in which 15 people died (there were 5 survivors).  I think of it sometimes when I drive by the place where I was at the time.  I guess it really bothered me as a kid that I was near this site where so many people's lives suddenly got cut short.  Maybe I hadn't really thought about the brevity of life before then... I still find it very morbid and creepy.

Oddly enough, I don't feel uneasy about flying.  I have never been put in a situation where I'd need to fly on a plane as small as the one that crashed, so maybe that would be different.  I know flying is statistically very safe... but on a small plane, I might be a bit nervous.

That is so funny!  Me too.  Last time I stopped at Marshalls (a clothing discount store, if you don't have them), I was flipping through the racks of shirts, and I came across one made of some horrible textured fabric and I recoiled and said "ugggh gross!" out loud.  My husband thought I was absolutely crazy.  And then he proceeded to pester me about the offensive garment, asking if I was sure I didn't want to try it on.  Ha... ha... ha. <_<

Kind of maybe a fear of being in a alone in a dark unknown environment and the suffocation, and humidity. It's a combination of those things. I have freaked out a bit when I'm taking a shower and the light goes out.

That's probably it, the body senses water and since it is a confined space, you instinctively feel drowning is a possibility.

As for the cotton balls and velvet, maybe it reminds us of a natural predator? 
But let's not overthink things.

I only remember it very vaguely, but falling some curved stairs down when I was a kid was kinda terrifying. I was pretty lucky I didn't snap my neck or anything else fatal happening.

Also, getting chased by two thugs for reasons I won't delve into here.

The good thing about getting chased though is that you always want to get away more than they want to catch you........... unless it's the police because they just see you as a running promotion and payslip.

P.S. I have never run away from the police or needed to. :innocent:

Didn't happen to me but my brother says that when he was little, he shared a room with my cousin and in the middle of the night, they both saw a dismembered torso just looking at them through the roof. Just staring, with cold, dead eyes.

A torso with eyes?

While walking home from my ex gf's house (this was two years ago) three guys and some girl pulled over in there car next to me, one of the guys shouted ''I think thats him!'' (who? I dunno) One of them pulled out a knife and told me to ''get in the boot of the car'' or he would ''cut me up'' Thankfully a police officer came around the corner and they all went off when they seen him. I dont want to think about what could have happend if I listened to them, or put up a fight.

I don't know why, but moments of deja vu are some of the creepiest for me.



Also, having dreams where I suddenly jolt awake are annoyingly strange.
