We all have those random things we just can’t stomach because, for some reason, they give us the creeps. Sometimes is obvious stuff like graveyards at old churches or abandoned buildings, but other times it’s more like a borderline phobia – I cannot, under any circumstances, view a beehive, for instance.
If you’re wondering where your weird “it just wigs me out” things fall on this scale, keep reading – although these 18 people might just give you something else to be creeped out about in the future.
18. You’ve gotta see the bottom.
Open water/ being in water and not being able to see the bottom, even if it’s only like a foot more down, can’t do it.
17. We’re all a little afraid of the dark.
Dark water, and the dark, vast void of space. Anything could be lurking in the dark.
16. They’re basically aliens.
House centipedes.
They hunt other bugs, so they have to be frighteningly fast apparently.
Yikes.
15. What lurks in the night.
Looking out a window at nighttime, when the lights are on inside and you can’t see who might be looking in.
14. Anything that wants to live in me.
Botflies. I hate parasites.
13. This would creep anyone out.
I remember this one time I had a bipolar girlfriend. Long story short we had an argument, I came back to my house. While I was on the phone with her mom I saw her from the window coming to my house with that slow, cold and dangerous psycho mode walk.
Normally it takes me 10 minutes to get from where she was crossing to my house. A minute into it I walk to my front door and as I look into the peak hole, I see her staring straight into it and into my soul.
My phone dropped from my hand. Out of all the trauma I have been through with this ex, this is that one little thing that will always haunt me.
12. Life is not fair.
Home invasions. My grandpa was beaten to death during a home invasion/robbery.
I lived with people who refused to lock their doors when they left their home because they believed karma protected their home when they damn well knew what happened to my grandpa.
11. Only crazy people like caves.
Tight caves.
Things I’m already familiar with, that have been recommended enough: Nutty Putty, Ted the Caver, Amigara Fault, and the Descent.
10. When your own body turns.
Rabies is super scary. And cancer because it’s your own body betraying you and it’s so common and it almost seems inevitable.
Anything that involves your own body attacking itself is just so creepy, like it’s just so scary that there’s so much we don’t have control of.
9. Nightmare fuel.
LIS – Locked In Syndrome. Stuff is 100% nightmare fuel.
Basically your brain is pretty much intact but your brainstem is a disaster, meaning everything but your eyes are paralyzed. And you’re fully aware…
There have been cases were doctors assumed the patient was in a coma and completely unaware of there surroundings, then 15 years later they used new technology to monitor brain waves, thats when they realized the patient had been 100% aware the entire time, they were just trapped inside themselves unable to communicate.
8. This movie terrified me.
The whole concept of the movie The Strangers (and the movie itself). The thought of being basically hunted and killed… and the only reason being “you were home.” Worst nightmare.
There are real killers like this. I was watching some ID channel show where they showed interrogation footage and this one guy went on and on about how everything he did was “preventable”, because he only broke into to rape and kill women who had their doors/windows unlocked. As if he couldn’t have prevented it all himself by not doing it.
7. Why are kids like this?
Going into my kitchen at night after my kid told me about the “tall girl with no face who likes to be in the kitchen”.
6. Lock your doors, people.
I think it was the serial Killer Richard Chase who said he’d go around neighborhoods just seeing whose doors were unlocked.
He said if the door was locked that meant you weren’t welcome. Ever since reading that, I haven’t stopped thinking about the subtext of his comment, and I keep my doors locked all the time.
5. Too many crime shows.
The thought of someone looking in my window. Just standing there, face uncovered, looking in as though they were casually watching a show.
4. I never want to find out for myself.
Sleep paralysis!
Frequent sleep paralysis can be a symptom of narcolepsy. Like, lots of people get sleep paralysis on a rare occasion, but getting it frequently can genuinely be a symptom of your R.E.M. sleep cycle being completely out of whack, which in its most disordered form is narcolepsy.
I recently got diagnosed with narcolepsy and I’ve had frequent sleep paralysis for years, and I never connected the dots that the sleep paralysis could be a symptom of a sleep disorder.
3. I have several concerns.
Yes. When I see those housebuilding shows and they do huge glass walls, no curtains, I can’t fathom how people feel comfortable living there.
Key things when building a home with large glass sections that make you comfortable with them.
Have a large property, this way people wont generally be too close.
Get your windows to have a slight mirrored tint. Unless they have their faces placed right against the glass they can’t really see through.
If your windows are polarized it helps fight random photography from strangers.
Be aware of the lighting in your home and what people ARE able to see when the area is lit up.
2. It can happen so fast.
That tiny (but existent) possibility of ending like a homeless person. I mean, things can just go astray…
There are 60,000 renters in their 50s currently whose pension will not cover their rent when they retire.
Therefore, they will retire into homelessness.
1. I’m sorry, what.
I work in IT at a hospital
The thing that freaks me out is the dummy they train on. Full adult sized. It bleeds, it sweats and it cries… Which I can handle. But it’s damn eyes freak me out
I feel like some of these are super valid fears, though, right?
