'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?

Sorry Loader and Trisis! Just don't take a job in a bakery, and you shouldn't ever have to encounter it.

Lifts.

Any scraps of food being left in the kitchen sink after washing up, and I absolutely can't use bare hands to pick them up

Empty disused swimming pools.

Ooooo I second the mime artists! Very creepy

Lighthouses.
Old abandoned buildings.
Seeing or talking about ankle tendons SUPERVOM!

loader I managed to half the film by skipping to dialogue and action scenes

Teenagers and adults in onesies.

ginny I avoid the dogs last pee at night in case I see one or 5. Somebody brought one in the other day on their shoe it was revolting

Holding hands with any child who has hands larger than those of my own child.

I was walking down the street and my friend's 4yo took hold of my hand, and I had to fight the urge to jump away from him shouting 'yuk! gerroff!'. When DS1 was a baby, another baby of the same age (but with larger hands) grabbed my finger and it made me shudder, it just felt wrong

I can still hold hands with adults, but children creep me the fuck out.

People talking about any kind of intimate grooming like ear cleaning or flossing.

It makes me want to run under a bus.

Sometimes the smell of other people's children makes me heave a bit. I like it if they smell of nuclear washing powder like many of them do... but some of them smell of hmmmm not so nice.

Very big tankers...or water towers. The VAST spaces inside them are awful.

Oh and the sound of a Bosun's Pipe! It just does something to me,.

I thought it was just me who hated mirrors, especially at night. I come on here and find I'm completely normal, yay!!!

Hulls of boats. I live near some docks, and we get huge boats in the dry docks, it is horrible! I also hate the thought of hulls in water (odd). Everything looks fine up top, but below is bleurgh. I also hate buoys, because they are attached to the sea bed & there is a chain going all the way down. HORRID!

There's a particular temperature of bath water, that when I get into it on a chilly evening makes me feel sad and lonely.
My sister gets it too, we call them 'bad baths'.

Handprints.

I think it stems from creepy movies where there is an abandoned ghostly building and then a creepy child sized handprint in a dusty window...

In my mind, it's evidence of someone being where they shouldn't have been, I think.

Stairs! I always have to run up them as I'm convinced I'm being chased. I have 2 flights in my house, not very nice.
Windowless rooms too, cellars etc. Eek!

Yy to long nails, especially on men. BIL has them and I've studiously spent the last 6 years maintaining a healthy personal space in case he touches me in any way, shape or form. I'd scream if he did.

Ventriloquist dummies. Wrong on so many levels. They are seriously unfunny and very sinister. I can't bring myself to turn my back on them at all.

Anything clown related. The shoes, that creepy water-squirting flower, the stupid car that fits about a million of the creepy little fuckers in.

Picking up a child a different weight to mine. It turns my stomach. It feels so bizarre

Jelly, or anything that kind of texture.

Tangled wires, like behind a TV. Especially if they're dusty.

Those electric windmill things.

I bloody hate them. Screams dead world to me. Think Lud (Stephen King fans know what I mean.) shudder

By electric windmill I mean those huge giant white things.

Also, pointy toed shoes on men.

Those balanced-arm lamps. The Pixar one is just about bearable but in real life they're sort of sinister looking and what if they move or come alive?

Bogeys.....especially when they're long and dangly.
When I was a teenager my friend made me puke, we were in Burger King and an old man was sitting at the table beside us. He had the longest pale green bogey hanging out his nose. My friend suggested I go and wrap it round one of my chips.
I'm boaking at the memory :(
