Things that creep you out and fascinate you simultaneously

Serial killers and air crash investigation.

Thunder storms.
hate the thunder, love the lightning. One of the best things I ever watched was a thunderstorm over the TV tower in Tokyo from the nth floor of a hotel with a bottle of whiskey. Had I been able to hear the storm, chances are I would have been under the sheets.

I thought of another one. Squeezing spots/blackheads. So gross but so satisfying!!!

Ihatecuddles · 13-10-2014 05:48PM

Surinam toads. Anything to do with trypophobia, especially crumpets.

being beside big massive giant ships scare the si1te out of me. I have to close my eyes and turn away.

I'm fine once I'm on the ship.

I've realised lately that I kind of like that feeling of being a bit creeped out. Not full-on scared, just that shuddery feeling. Does this happen to anyone else or am I truly a weirdo? I sometimes look at photos of things that creep me out as a means of entertainment. Okay I am a weirdo.

So, the main things that creep me out but I can't stop looking at the are:
1) giant rabbits
2) pictures of bats faces, close up
3) images that come up when you google 'trypophobia'

Anyone out there??

You absolute beast

:(:(

Teacher23 · 13-10-2014 05:58PM

Get out of that ship before it lists to 45 degrees, after that it is the point of no return.

Rumour has it the captain of the Titanic died because he went back for his protractor..

Sneakily seen a work colleague today put his hand down the back of the trousers to cup a fart then immediately smelled same.

Holy mother of god, I can only imagine what he does when he's alone!

Oh! That's weird, I'm the exact same, but always thought it was an odd enough thing so kept it to myself

But now I'm not alone. Thanks micar

These guys fascinate and terrify me:

One step closer to the War Against The Machines.

Me too! Don't ever watch Adrift- most of the film was from the point of view of the people trapped in the water with the hull of their inaccessible yacht curving out above them...shudder!

On a kinda related note, large dams like this one http://www.hydro.com.au/system/files/imagecache/lightbox_image/images/gallery/gordonDam.jpg

They make me feel violently ill. It's the idea of the sheer pressure of the water. I also really hate the idea of the wall on the water side, sinking down into the dark with god knows what lurking around it...

FunLover18 · 13-10-2014 08:20PM

Does anyone else get this with certain songs. The Cure's Wrong Number has this effect on me, it's that weird synth they use but there is some fascination, I can't turn it off straight away although I always do eventually.

Like someone said about being beside big ships, I feel the same about harbours.and piers. I'm with water in general but just something about the drop off a pier. Also when trains go through a platform I'm waiting at without stopping, I have to look away

Teacher23 · 13-10-2014 08:22PM

Oh god, that picture of the dam freaked me out a bit too. It gives me a bit of a world-ending disastery feary feeling (great English)

Am I alone in that those pics have no effect on me whatsoever?

My Uber religious neighbour who hates me for the lifestyle I live. Totally creepy guy but endless source of fascination and amusement as to how weird he is going to get next. Chanting and flicking holy water into my garden over the fence was one of my favorites. Actually the Uber religious in general are fascinating. Not your average joe brand on the street..... but the ones who are convinced that the non religious are literally satan incarnations and the like.

Also some of the ways that nature deals death are fascinating. Like those wasps that inject eggs into worms and caterpillars. And the hatched babies eat their way from the inside out. But they have evolved to do it in such a fashion that the agonized death of the host is elongated to the maximum length of time possible.

Bill OReilly.

And seriously drunk people.

MRnotlob606 · 13-10-2014 10:17PM

churches , had a habit of drawing them on the school desks too.

Teacher23 · 13-10-2014 11:00PM

Oh yeah, serious drunk people is one for me too.

There's so many different emotions that seeing seriously drunk people gives me:

1. Amusement
2. Worry - are they gonna hurt themselves/puke/die?
3. Embarrassment - for them (they are gonna regret this tomorrow) and for myself (I've never been THAT bad have I?? Oh god remember when...)
4. Intrigue - what are they gonna do next??
