'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?

Wrists, mostly mine. Belly buttons, hugely grossed out at pregnancy just because of the sticky out belly button. Feathers freak me out, no idea why.

Zippy, someone else who hates wrists! I'm not alone.

Also disused wells/mine shafts/etc, just waiting for an unsuspecting person to walk over the top, whence the covering layer of earth will give way and the person (me) will plunge into the well/hole/mine, to be trapped and die.

Cotton wool.

YY to the people chewing on clothes thing.

Extra toes.
When I see open toed shoes, I always have to count that the wearer has the right number of toes. I do it in magazines too.

Summer is hell for me.

Google the film poster for Shaggy Dog ... or better still, don't

God, those eyes!!!!!!!!

Sea snakes. Ugh. The very thought. Imagine swimming and one bobbing along beside you.

Chin heads. That thing where someone has an face drawn onto their chin and then they lie on their back and talk and devilery occurs.

YY to toe post flipflops.

I really hate when you're talking to someone and you notice a facial hair that they've missed.

Looking over to the auto next to you and seeing the person staring right back. Happened to me today, no rational reason for it but feel as though I am being stalked ( I really think the person might be one of the undead)

Wooden chip forks.
Bits of food in the washing-up water (I have to rinse everything clean before it goes in the bowl).
Mould on food.

White cars
Spiral staircases

Mrsfrumble & BadRoly - locks are AWFUL, and I hate dams too. It's almost as if the weight of the water is crushing while the sudden deep horrible emptiness on the the other side is vertiginous. Bad bad bad.

Watching people shave. I can't, even in a film. Even in a film I've seen before where I know nothing bad happens. This time, it might.

And whoever said about the terror of lifting the toilet seat. Oh my god, are you me? I've never mentioned that to anyone before and try to forget the terror!

Google the film poster for Shaggy Dog ... or better still, don't.

Oh god, why?! Why does it have human eyes?

Well if we're talking dog eyes, I get really creeped out by dogs with pale fur and dark stains around their eyes and mouths. My aunty has a bichon frisee (sp?) with those dirty stains, it takes a lot of self control for me to not throw it across the room and run away screaming.

Oh god, why?! Why does it have human eyes?

Well, I did warn you!!

I first saw that poster in a London tube station - only of course there were several, and every other station had them too. It's really not easy negotiating crowded tube stations with your eyes half shut ...

Cellars

Not in use tube stations. You know, when the tube goes slowly through a station that's closed and you can see the deserted platform.

Talking of eyes....upside down eyes.

You know that thing you did as children (and your DC probably do too) when you position yourself upside down next to the other person and cover your mouth and nose. The eyes look so freaky.

Yes to lots of these...

Mirrors in the bathroom at night - reminds me of Candyman
Wood, especially wet or in the mouth, eeeee! Or cardboard boxes that are being collapsed, that scrape sound.
Anyone going near my belly button. I'm another that hates the word belly too, in fact there are loads of words which I find intensely irritating for no reason!
I agree that doors must be open, otherwise you dont know what's hiding in there. Cupboards/wardrobes however must be closed.

That advert of the woman putting mascara on with blood dripping down from the corner of her eye.
Anything between my toes, I cannot wear fliflops, the thought makes me feel sick. My idea of torture is those toe separator things for putting nail varnish on, aaargh!

Forgot to mention space/gravity too as a few others have mentioned. If I think about it too much it freaks me out a bit. I cant cope with the thought that there might be an infinite number of universes etc. Too mind boggling. Plus gravity...what if it suddenly just...stops?!

Sorry EmmaJan but I am PMSL at "Plus gravity...what if it suddenly just...stops?!"

It's honestly not a thought that has ever crossed my mind!!

(I do get you on the mind-blowing freakishness of infinity/the universe etc)

I know it's ridiculous! But I think about what would happen if earth just stopped spinning etc. I imagine us all suddenly falling off and crowds of people/animals just whooshing through the air towards space. Aaaah, really freaks me out!

I am really freaked out, so many of these things resonate. One thing missing from this list is optical illusions. Stomch churning.

The tough curly white umbilical cord bit that is attached to the yolk when you crack at egg. Always have to pull if off the yolk, grimacing as I do!

Crack an egg that should say above!

Oh I really dislike Chertsey also Sinister, it feels like a road going nowhere with houses on it. Also those mini roundabouts. I just can't imagine having to live there as it feels impermanent.
