What Gives You The Creeps?

We all seem to carry some weird thoughts through from childhood into our adult lives... The question is what still gives you the creeps as an adult, the one thing you know in your rational mind shouldn't, but still does?

Mine is wardrobe doors being open in a bedroom... We have a large inbuilt wardrobe and if even one of the doors / drawers is slightly ajar, I have to get out of bed to shut it.. If not, I'll not sleep as I feel someone or something is watching me from the dark.

What does it for you?

This is me. I can't abide doors open within a room at night. Or mirrors in the dark. I don't like looking in to them.

Children, actually. Not all the time, but sometimes they come out with some seriously creepy things. Rationally I know it's just their imagination and lateral thinking, but yeah, awful lot of horror films running through my mind too

Holy pictures. Like the one of the sacred heart that everyone's granny had, the eyes really did follow you around the room. The really creepy ones had fake flickering candles in front so even in the dark it could still make you uncomfortable

Going over level crossings in the car, there's that thought that this may be the one time they didn't work.

Ah jaysis!

Like when they point at a really old picture they have never seen before and tell you that, "thats the man that speaks to me in my room at night" kinda stuff!

Snap!

The willies gives me the creeps.
The heebie jeebies give me the willies.
Peoples feet give me the heebie jeebies.

My younger cousins are quadruplets, when they were about four their favourite video was this trad music one (odd kids) that started on a close up of a guy's hands playing the accordion and panned up to his face. All four of them would chant "has he got a head? Has he got a head" and then go bananas "yaaaay he's got a head". I'm only a few years older than them and still thought it pretty creepy!

As previously mentioned, open wardrobe doors in my bedroom at night. Or the bedroom door open, I just feel stressed about it!

failinis · 30-05-2016 10:34PM

I hate looking outside windows when the lights are on and it's dark outside.
You feel like someone is looking in.

Marty Morrissy. He just creeps the feck out of me.

My sons are aware of this and one day I was in a hurry somewhere and asked them to shut down my laptop for me. When I opened it later that night it had Marty as my wallpaper and screensaver. Totally freaked me out.

Seeing a spider in your bedroom and once you have found something to remove / squish him, he's disappeared!

May as well just burn house down...

People that walk close to me for no reason or walking up behind me and then past, but needlessly close as they do so.

Or those that stand also needlessly close to you as they talk to you, eyeballing you.

Generally people with no sense of allowing people a certain amount of personal space. Fcukers.

I hate clowns and snakes. Two major phobias.

Shadows in a bedroom while trying to go to sleep, I think they are shadow figures coming to get me.
My cat staring very intently at God knows what in a room, freaks me out.
Being in a country lane, very late at night, with no lights around, except for my phone light.
People I don't know making very sudden noises, like a loud sneeze or a cough, I get such a fright and want to get away from them(doesn't bother me if its someone I know. I know, I know).
Being on my own in a wood or forest.
Public toilets - I don't go near them, even the sight of them creeps me out.

Mirrors!! The fear that if I stare into a mirror too long, my reflection will move on its own. Frightens the bejaysus out of me during night time bathroom visits :eek:

Just close your curtains and I'll move on to the next house ☺

Going up the stairs at night when the lights are out. My dad used pull our feet through the banisters when we were smallies - sometimes in the dark i'll sprint up the stairs for fear of them being grabbed!

Don't watch Oireachtas Report then, boom boom.

Foot bridges with gaps between the planks. Even a miniscule gap has me watching for trolls.

The thought that people actually voted for Danny Healy-Rae to be a member of parliament is a scary one for me.

I don't know if 'the creeps' would be the right phrase to describe this, but whenever I am at the beach and wade out up to my waist level or deeper, I cant help getting the feeling that a fin would suddenly appear and head straight in my direction.

Andrewf20 · 31-05-2016 12:39AM

Flowery curtains. There's always a rudy face in it.

Going to the bed at night and standing on the landing looking downstairs - it always looks ominous down there. Likewise, being downstairs looking up gives the same heebie jeebies.

And the other kicker - dressing gowns or suits hanging on the back of doors in the bedroom in the dark.

Porcelain dolls, clowns. Hate them.
Biggest phobia ever though are mice and rats.
I'm so frightened of them when I'm sick that's what I hallucinate about. I can't even look at pics or videos of them and I'm just as frightened of dead ones as I am of live ones. If I saw one I would lose my sh1t like a sh1t collector with amnesia.

Staying with my MIL tonight, had to get his dad to take the porcelain dolls out of the room. Wouldn't get a wink of sleep with them staring at me all night.
