That one thing that freaks you out for no reason

[sanquin]

That horror movie, Mirrors. That one scene where the woman in the bath gets murdered by the mirror demon. That scene gave me the chills for several days afterwards. And I still cringe at the thought of it.

Also, for some reason bumblebees freak me out. They're totally harmless to me, but...just...nope, just nope. I get nervous whenever I see one near me, while I know there's no reason for it. xD

That corner of my bedroom in the dark.

For gods sake i'm a grown man there is nothing there but maybe i should look. But, what if there is? nah there definitely isn't its obviously just my brain being an immature fuck. I should look, okay i'll look just to prove my brains being irrational.

slowly peers out of covers

Fucking knew it, im a grown man why am i still concerned with the dark!!

but what if it was hiding, it is dark, maybe i should look again.......

Why don't you have a night light? I am not concerned about the corner of the room, but I cannot see in the dark at all, so I have a night light so when I get up to get a drink in the middle of the night I don't kill myself. I could not function without them.


However, when I was a kid, I had these formal dresses in my closet that freaked me out in the dark because of the weird shadows they made from the moonlight hitting them. I couldn't shut the closet door as it was heavy and on rails and I was too small to open it. One day it freaked me out so bad I thought something was in there and grabbed a baseball bat and beat the crap out of them and my closet in the dark waking up the whole house. HAHA

For some reason when it's night time, sometimes I think I see something out of the corner of my eye and get paranoid, only for it to be a bit of light reflecting off the base of a lamp.

Glowing eyes. Especially when they're all you can see in otherwise pitch-blackness.

Spoiler: Even Bambi is creepy.

Even when it's just the eyes themselves that are in darkness.

[Story]

I have a weird fear of old or dirty stuffed animals. Which is really, really odd because I used to collect new stuffed animals as a kid. I don't know why I feel this way, but I did for as long as I could remember.

Deep water.

If I can't see the bottom than I don't really want anything to do with it.

It's totally irrational of course. I suppress it when going for a swim, but there's always this niggling feeling that there could be anything down there.

As for stuff in movies, etc... well, I remember child me getting freaked the fuck out by one scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It was the bit where the villain gets run over by a steam roller, then his flattened body gets up and starts walking around.

This but with a slight revision, deep water doesn't bother me its when you have artificial canals, reservoirs and pools etc and the water looks dark or almost black. I think its a combination of some primal fear and the knowledge that you often don't know how deep it is or whats under there, artificial structures, intakes and other nasty things to get trapped in or sucked into.

The fact that they can be hard or even impossible to climb out of doesn't help.

Not that long ago I managed to freak myself out because I decided to hang my jacket and bag from the bookshelf at base of my bed rather than dumping it on the floor like I usually do. As it turn out when you have just woken up in the middle of the night and it's dark the shadow created from that looks an awful lot like a person. Fortunately my reaction to that is a moment of panicked silence (and throwing shit but I wasn't holding anything) not screaming and waking up the whole house and I figured out what it was when the rest of my brain woke up. It doesn't help that my lamp hasn't worked for ages now and I'm too cheap to get a new one so to turn on lights I have to get up and go to the other-side of the room (which is potentially deadly with all the stuff on my floor at the moment). Arrgh adults should not be jumping at shadows.

Mold.

I can't stand it, I can't look at it, I can't even be in the same room as something moldy. As soon as I walk into a room, I can tell by smell if there's anything moldy in there and immediately get on the Nopetrain to Fuckthatville.

It's not really for no reason, but I always cringe when there's violence against people's eyes in movies or on TV. I just imagine...How awful it'd be to lose your eyesight. How much it must hurt. And I shudder every time.

 

[Timeless Lavender]

I really hate balloons, anything that have a lot of holes/items that is closely compact in a surface and insects (expect butterfly).

I know, the balloon part would make me look really odd.

This. Oh god this.

 

[Neurotic Void Melody]

Gravity disappearing. Or being helplessly suspended with nothing to hold onto. In fact, if i miss a single day's medication, the first side effect is always the nightmares. They cover most of my deepest fears and other inexplicable horrors, but they are garunteed to have some point where gravity is switched upside down, and i am left to desperately claw at the ground or anything to avoid falling forever into the sky. It is a horrible feeling of dread and despair.
That film 'gravity' had some difficult scenes for me.

Also ice cream vans that play the teddy bear's picnic for their jingle.
Double points if the jingle is played slightly slower than it should be. In the words of the dung beetle pimp king; fuck that shit.

Lastly, ants. Not one or two of them,
but when they are numerous. I hate swarms. Too many units to keep track of and you never know if they are all accounted for.
