Candle Cove is obviously some tv show about static, it's just plain stupid. Slenderman is practically the symbolic representation of ghosts and the unknown (my opinion) Below is what Slenderman looks like.hydroblitz said:jesus, I know what your talking about. ive sworn off horror movies and creepypasta for good.Gorrister said:That's the thing man. It's mad. I know it's made up and everything, but I'm a proper weak sod when it comes to stuff that requires your mind to fill in the blanks. The unknown. The "catching-something-in-the-corner-of-your-eye-through-the-window" stuff makes my heart stop.ucciolord1 said:This sounds really serious. My advice would be to talk to a counselor, and avoid pills.
That shit must be scary....
i couldnt sleep the night I SAW THE TRAILER FOR PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.
btw, to quell my curiosity and avoid MY sleepless nights, could you explain this "candle cove" and "slenderman"?
I suffered a bit from depression about this when I turned ten, not kill myself depression (That would destroy the point) but cry myself to sleep depression.Ataxia said:Gorrister said:That's the thing man.

Exactly like the 'A fear of death' thread. Two reasons why people fear death. Because it's built in on a primal level and it's the unknown. I'm afraid of the dark but I'm also a bit claustrophobic if I'm in the dark in a huge say plains type area it's not all that scary but if I'm in my room in the dark I feel really scared because I have no area to move about it that or I can't really ...um I can't really explain it...
God damn screamers *mumble* mumble*Z of the Na said:What on Earth is this "Candle Cove" you speak of?
I've never heard of it.
I suppose just do something that takes your mind off of the story, it works for me whenever I get caught by screamers on Youtube.
.....damn those freak me out.
I've been having a lot of weird symptoms for the past few years, and those were the (mis)diagnoses I've been given. Currently, they're explaining them by a seizure disorder that doesn't have any physical spasms or changes in consciousness.Eukaryote said:Wait, that bit confused me. Are you saying you have had ALL of that happen to you?!Erana said:I used to have these bouts of completely random and irrational fear-
turns out it was a symptom of a seizure disorder.
At least, that's what the doctors are telling me now.
According to them, I've also had a brain tumor, not had a brain tumor and instead have polycystic ovaries (WTF? Even I could tell I didn't) had a brain tumor agian, and then be none of those and, in fact, be narcoleptic.
Is that what's supposed to be scary?Loop Stricken said:Gods, Smiledog was just... rubbish.

Just because I find it apt; some calming music to help you sleep:
[Ignore the name, it's got nothing to do with the content. Seriously. Would I lie to you?]
I'm going avoid myself the terror and not read that, thanks for the link though.Loop Stricken said:Candle Cove? You asked for it, you got it [http://www.creepypasta.com/candle-cove/]!
Also, I find that bloody Avatar avatar far more distressing than anything mentioned previously.
Of course not, I said it was a piece of soothing music, did I not?Erana said:Is that what's supposed to be scary?
It just goes round and round and round and round and doesn't stop! Make it stop!Z of the Na said:On the Avatar bit, I thank you for noticing!
You know if you think about it, if this "slenderman" or whatever comes after you, take some solace in that you'll be sleeping and if it kills/eats/rapes or whatever it does, you might not feel it. Other than that, man up if you know it can't hurt you and it isn't real there is no reason to fear it.Gorrister said:Right so lately I'e been having a lot of trouble trying to sleep. A couple days ago I read a creepypasta called Candle Cove (if you haven't read it and are easily scared, do NOTlook it up) and, as scared as I was, I stupidly Youtube'd it and watched the video. (again, not advised). And again, in another rousing act of stupidity, I looked up Slenderman and what not. Creepypasta and everything.
And now, I am petrified of my own Goddamn shadow.
I've always been a bit of a fraidy cat. When I was 11, I watched the film adaptation of IT and I was so scared I couldn't sleep for weeks. A couple years before that, I snuck downstairs to watch Nightmare on Elm Street and I woke up with nightmares for months afterwards. But now, a somewhat cynical 19 year old lad is petrified of a story he knows is made up. Thing is, it's started to affect my health. I stay up till all hours awake in bed, jolting at every flipping thing that goes bump in the night. I can't be at my house on my own, even during the day.
Can The Escpaist offer anything that might help ease my touble? I know it sounds so stupid, but I could really do with som advise. I know it's ridiculous, believe me, I keep telling myself the very same thing.
And to all you other fraidy cats out there, have you ever been like this before? Did you find a way to deal with it? And if so, helpa brother out?
EDIT: Crap! Wrong area of discussion, coulda Mod move it for me?
Well I watched Marble Hornets in the middle of the night.Gorrister said:And to all you other fraidy cats out there, have you ever been like this before?
--What she said. You could also just keep monitoring this thread since it's stormed up so many responses. If it were me, I'd do both.Erana said:I used to have these bouts of completely random and irrational fear-

I dealt with it by having someone keep me company. I know that's kinda an obvious answer, but there really is nothing else that could give you as much peace of mind. Someone who won't judge you, in particular.
I actually did that a few times...Ian Caronia said:If you want a real suggestion (aside from the hundred piling up), go to Youtube and look up a "Let's Play" videogame commentary. Then, put the headphones in your ears and listen to a random person ramble on nonsensically about the game they're playing. It gives a sense that you're with someone, and if it's a good game/funny commenter then it's twice as helpful.
Suggest: Vash12349 and HellFireComms (HellFireComms usually has 2 people doing commentary at the same time, so more the merrier I guess).
Vash12349: Infamous commentary, Metal Gear Solid (1,2,3,4) commentary
HellFireComs: Sonic 06, Kingdom Hearts 1
Sweet dreams, buddy!
Kirby64 [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Kirby64/] was the least fear-conjuring, though its only above-average in actual Let's Play quality.
