'Normal' things that you find really creepy

[Sweetasstevia]

When I look out of my window at the flat opposite I can see straight through their living room to a window which lets light in from their garden. When it's sunset I find this image really unsettling and eery.

I also get really creeped out by those pin and string pictures that were popular in the 70's:

What odd things spook you?

Yes to the wooden lolly stick, sets my teeth on edge..

I also can't stand people reading things over my shoulder, like an article online, my phone etc gives me the rage and makes me uncomfortable.

Plus anyone reading my magazines or papers before me, it makes me want to cry, all that newness rubbed away by grubby fingers.

And lastly, anyone touching my face such as: trying to get a stray eyelash off my cheek etc, I freak out, people visibly cringe now if they go to touch my face as they suddenly remember how I will react.

Does anybody else really want to google the pic of the swimming pool with the line of chairs? There's a pull.

Oh and I can't walk over 3 drains that are attached. Sets me off in an anxious mood all day if I don't skip the 3rd drain.

I need help.

I've just found the abandoned swimming pool filled with chairs.
I was expecting them to be all in a row, waiting for people to sit on them that never would.
But they were all piled up!

Think you're right CY I find dated hotel rooms incredibly sad, because they are trapped and static. They make me feel very claustrophobic. And all that dark furniture and heavy swagged curtains remind me of funeral parlours...

Sorry can do most of these ( but not that horrid lotus thing).

Can't bear an erect penis. Thought I might grow out of this one but nope,still looks a bit erm, wrong.Especially when a bloke walks around. Think it looks like it might possibly fall off and it worries me.

Long empty corridors, even in daytime
Open water- looking down into it
Things submerged like wrecks
Any body of water at night
Those museum mannequins as PP said
China faced dolls
Venice - the creepiest place ever- old stuff, masks, damp. Probably got china dolls involved somewhere there..

Oh, and here's a bizarre one...

Pillar boxes...yep, just normal, average red pillar boxes. Ever noticed how black the opening is? No light ever shines in...

Who is to say next time you walk past one, on a deserted lane...it won't exert its supernatural power and suck you inside...trapped forever, screaming in the blackness...

A while ago I suddenly found windows creepy, like blank, staring eyes.
Just the one day, I'm over it now!

Clowns
The skin on rice pudding/custard
Cereal that's expanded and expanded (like cheerios) when left in the bowl
The holes in crumpets
Anything to do with eyeballs being touched

I absolutely detest polystyrene cups, like those you get from mobile burger vans. Drinking from them makes my teeth itch. So does the hand dryer in my work loos - the noise must be on a certain vibration and when I use it my teeth go all funny.

Fucks sake LaQueen you shiter-upperer. You've just created a new weeping angel in my brain.

Thought of another.

An adult man who is naked from the waste down. So wearing a t shirt or top of some description, but no bottoms. Not seen a woman in this situ but sure it looks just as creepy and kind of....back to front.

Crumbs on the worktop/spilled liquids. Creeps me right out. Any cold canned foodstuff eaten from the can

No1 creepsville is opening a fridge and getting a whiff of all the contents. It makes me heave.

Crucifixes on the wall in people's homes. Especially very plain, dark wood ones. Really gives me the creeps, I blame Carrie.

You wouldn't be trapped forever LaQueen, just until the postie arrives next Wednesday.

Pictures done in cross-stitch embroidery.
Especially if they have lame messages, such as Bless This Home, or are overly religious, or are pictures of children wearing old fashioned clothes and bonnets.
They make me think of the people out of The Others and other Dead musty Things.

frazzled the reason they're just slightly less than average human height, is so that when you've been supernaturally sucked inside, you can just about peer out through the opening with desperate, terrified eyes...but no one will ever be able to see you in there, because no light ever shines into a pillar box opening...

It's only the evil, supernatural ones which trap you darlek the postie never, ever comes to those ones...

Those appalling contact lenses which make eyes look like something else's

A colleague once turned to me wearing "cats eye" ones - vivid green with that funny slit thing cats have. That was about eight years ago, I had to leave the office and I've still not quite got over it

In films, when somebody is being sick, the toilet seat is up, their head is halfway down the toilet and they always show them with their bare hands clutching the rim of the toilet seat. - which for all they know has all manner of disgusting things clinging to it - which then go on the hands.

Bare hands?

I don't care how sick I am, there's no way my hands are touching the short & curly, wee-infested rim of somebody else's toilet.

hides thread due to LaQueen and her evil post boxes...

I'm so not going to sleep tonight!

Walking past a storm drain, when it's raining.

Balloon anybody?

That lovely gurgly noise the water makes as flows down the gutter, then into the drain....
on your way to post a letter.

Really not keen on plug holes, drains and anything pipey round the back of loo's. I also worry in crampt public loos that I'll flush and it will flood and spill over the rim
