'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?

Noticed someone above me said pylons so wonder if that's quite common. Also ship's hulls rising, especially above me. Those big gas containers that go up and down.

I have all his books but he is creepy on tv. He is from my home town yet I find him too loose in the jowl area, he creeps me out too, perhaps for not being too out ITMAS.
His writing is brilliant.

Basil Brush and Rod Hull's Emu. The Crankies

Exactly bluebrightblue, it's the close ups of him putting food in his mouth and the strange chewing motion...I just cant bear to watch. Also, those weird pauses mid sentence, what's that about?! I also think he's become a bit grubby looking.

Love his books though.

Ooh yes forgot about pylons.

As a teenager I'd break out into a cold sweat about them.

Veins, like thisghost from page one, but for me it's bulging veins. A family member has bulging viens on his hands and forearms. Always turned my stomach as a child runs screaming

Seeing identical twins side by side

Oh, forgot...Mr Bean!!!

slugs (shudder)

Swimming over the grids in swimming pools
Water where I can't see the bottom
Sharks
These are all related, sharks live under the grids you know.

We once landed at Gatwick airport and I think we were the first one of the day. The place was deserted!

It felt like a Stephen King movie.

Every time we're on a night flight I have to check to see if we're the first flight.

Still creeps me out. Even if we're not. The fears very real.

Monkeys (and apes generally). They're too much like humans gone wrong, if you see what I mean. Is it really just me? Can't believe no-one else has mentioned it on this thread!

Seaweed, both in and out of the water. I find it difficult to walk over it with wellies on, never mind with bare feet.

Also, people grinding their teeth in their sleep. DH was doing it just now. Eurghh!

Any bones close to the skin, for example, chest bones visible on thin woman - but particularly bony eye sockets. Makes me feel sick looking at them.

Swimming pools with a dark bottom so you cant see the floor or large gate like things at the end of it. I think sharks will come out of it.

Feet out of the end of the bed.

Getting up in the middle of the night and using the light on my mobile to get to the bathroom. Think it will flash on something ungodly!

Piles of clothes or clothes hanging that you look at in the dark and see shapes in that arent real. (Like full size men).

Cotton wool.

When my toddler sits in his room at night in the dark giggling insanely. WHO IS HE PLAYING WITH?

The bit in the shower where you put soap over your face and the time before you can open your eyes again.

The girl out of 'The Ring'.

People with odd boil things on their necks.

Hairs coming out of moles.

I could go on forever.

Teeth growing where they shouldn't be, like poking out of gums next to existing teeth YUK!

I got head butted at work recently and my eye socket and cheek was so sore, my colleague kept saying my eye teeth had been caught, prompting visions of teeth in the bone under my eye or around my eye. Oh I am squirming and feeling sick just typing it!!

You've just reminded me...

This

Confused - you got headbutted at work? That's awful.

I went to school with a girl whose second teeth had apparently come in completely randomly. I hope she had a good orthodontist.

Driving over big bridges, huge industrial buildings and silos or tall buildings - just not natural.

The worst - sandpaper. Can't bear people filing their nails, or even looking at sandpaper, it makes my teeth hurt.

Group prayer in a church. I am always a bystander and the bizarre robotic and basic cult nature of it makes my head spin a little. It's less what the people are saying and more about the joint chorus of it.

This thread is alternately cracking me up and creeping me out.

I am another one who can't stand mirrors at night. We have mirrored wardrobe doors in our bedroom and I have to shut my eyes as I walk past them if I get up for the bathroom. As I walk back to bed and they are behind me it takes every ounce of courage not to bolt at high speed back into bed and under the safety of the duvet. I'm fine once in bed though. Duvets ward off evil.

My DS riding his toddlebike through the kitchen, just reminds me of The Shining!
I don't like Hoovering in the house on my own - someone could come in without me hearing.
I don't like flushing the loo at night, I do it and then literally run out of the bathroom (the noise thing again).

Wowser!! FFS No!!!!!! That is going to haunt me. I feel physically sick looking at it. I know the teeth are where they should be but they are so near the eyes and that bottom one UGH. Can't believe you posted that. Gah!

Cru, it's all part if the job but it did hurt at the time, the eye teeth comments were just salt in the wound!

freshly so glad it is not just me that is stupid about sharks living in swimming pools. It did have bonus though, I won many swimming races because of the great white shark that persisted in following me down the pool

Other people's toe nails. People cutting nails (including finger nails). Had a colleague who used to do it at her desk and it made me want to retch even though I could only hear it, not see it. DH has learnt to stop clipping if I'm anywhere within earshot and wait for me to leave. Nearly had to divorce him a few times when I found he was clipping directly into the sink instead of the bin. (I imagine all the clippings stuck in the hair and soapy gunk in the drain, and if the thought occurs to me while I'm brushing my teeth it makes me retch). terrified of finding a toe nail in my drink.
Also, looking out the window into the dark when lights are on in the house. This especially since watching Scream etc as a teenager. You just KNOW someone is watching you and will bang up against the window and stab you (or worse, cut their toe nails in front of you).

And dolphins- shudder. Their smiles are not real.

Candlewick bedspreads.

Shaking hands. I have a variety of techniques to avoid this.
