'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?

Oh, and staring out of a window into darkness. I always think a face is going to pop up mm's from mine.

And, it's not just pillar boxes...empty, abandoned red phone boxes, too. Some are not quite what they seem...if you walk past one, on a deserted road, they want you to go inside...they're lonely, so very lonely and empty now - and they want you to stay inside them...forever...

Coming to this very late in the thread but I can't look for anything that's trapped behind a piece of furniture or under the bed. Massive panic attack - I think its a severe form of claustrophobia.

Lalalalalal not listening to LaQueen

That's true, Ginny. I get food poisoning/stomach bugs A LOT (4 times so far this year; I have a filthy one year old in nursery) and I have never ever held onto the rim of the toilet. Even if I'm too ill to hold my head up, I find the strength to support myself without touching the toilet bowl. And I have an obsessively clean toilet bowl too.

I can't stand storm drains either, but I've read It so it is not strange at all!

What remains of the green stalk at the top of a tomato when you cut it in half.....

Even typing this my hands are tingling at the thought. I have to cut it out, even cherry tomatoes, or I cannot bring myself to eat them. Thought I was alone in my weirdness until a friend told me about a website called Tomatoes are Evil !! Who knew ?

Fabric rubbing against teeth. Good grief, it's making me feel ill just typing it.

Apparently my DP used to like chewing on a dry sponge when he was a child. Sickening

Those bar piercings that people get at the bottom of the neck, top of the back. They FREAK me out. And dreadlocks - especially on Caucasian people. urgh.......

long nails and false eyelashes make me cringe.

Someone I used to work with used to get false toe nails put on

Fantastic Mr Fox or an other Fox that is dressed as a human Foxy Bingo is scary. Recently read story to ds that was ok but the cover is terrifying he has binoculars in his paws wtf

Alice in Wonderland freaks me out it is a horrible story. Hated the book when I was young and clips of Tim Burtons version make me feel queasy.

Yes I also hate the idea of very deep water and the odd creatures down there - the bit in Titanic when they go down to the wreck in that little pod thing.... Bleurgh

Two more which I think are unique to me (please correct me though I'd love not to be a total weirdo):

1. Being touched between my breasts / in the centre of my chest (makes me imagine being stabbed there).

and
2) looking at very intricate things with sticky out bits - like circuit boards - I imagine the pin buts going into my eyes!!!! Yuck, yuck yuck!!!

Nope, on your own there. Definitely weird

Yes yes to not being able to open curtains at night for fear of seeing a face at the window - when I had DS I got so freaked out by the curtain less windows in the maternity ward I was actually allowed to pull the screans round 1 1/2 sides of my bed so that I could sleep!

Oh and the feel of non-varnished wood, especially when wet. I can't even hold a pencil without getting goose pimples so all my pencils are mechanical ones. Was so happy when I found mechanical colour pencils!

the bits that grow out of old potatoes make me feel ill!

the king in the burger king ad from a few years ago who just kept appearing!

here he is... shudder!

Someone mentioned upthread about pylons. Yes yes! Don't like walking or driving past them. There was an advert years ago with a load of pylons marching across a field if I remember correctly and that scared the bejesus out of me.
Level crossings... Always scared that there is a train coming and the lights have got it wrong.

I find frog's creepy, always worry it's going to get tangled in my hair...
Dolls especially ones that talk, dd had one years ago that started talking during the night as the batteries where needing changed I hope but I got exh to put it in the bin as I was creeper out by it...
I agree with the mirror thing and I can't sleep with my feet out the covers.

I can't wear or touch velvet, velour or corduroy. I also can't sit or walk near anyone else who wears because I can hear it rubbing together and making the disgusting noise it makes....shudder....when I first met my Dh, he had a pair of cords and it was a them or me situation. He choose me! A colleague I don't know well gave a a bag of hand me downs for a my son last week and when I was looking through them I touched a velour babygro! It was awful, I had to wash my hands to get rid of the 'feeling'.

Also I can't sleep if wardrobe doors are open because that's where the monsters live.

People especially men using their middle finger to point something out instead of using their index finger. Freaks me out...

Bananas. The smell, the taste, the sound. Even just seeing them in the supermarket gives me the creeps.

Swings. I feel like I am going to be sick if I look at anyone on a swing (my poor kids are used to me averting my eyes, thank god they can swing themselves these days).

Anything hanging/swinging actually. Had to leave a museum with a Foucault's Pendulum thing as I thought I would faint.

Slugs. I am getting to the point of a phobia of them now even though I know they are harmless.

Skin on sauces - bleurgh...

YY to the smell of food inside a fridge thing, I agree!

Louvre doors, always think someone is behind them watching! The feel of cotton wool, uhh! Also a light green colour in a room walls always makes me feel a bit sick.Also faces at a window!

There are some nice chairs in that swimming pool
