A dream I used to have repeatedly as a kid, just an image, that used to fill me with dread and fear and I don't know why. Even thinking of it now has the same effect.

I see two men, they are standing and spinning around, one slowly, the other one faster, and they are chanting. I think they are wearing some sort of robes, I do not recognize words in the chant. Sort of Tibetain prayer type of sound.

I have no idea where this came from, but I cannot tell you the horror it inspires in me. Makes my breathing and heartrate quicken to picture it again.

For the longest time, I used to be scared stupid by the sound of a violin. There was no reason for it, I just started freaking out for no reason whatsoever. There's also something called "The Song of Nephilim" from a video game called "Xenosaga," which scares the hell out of me. I refuse to post a youtube to it, because just hearing it or thinking about it sends me into absolute panic and terror.

This was a really cool thread to read and I'm sad that it's petered out now. That pig in the elmo video was definitely freaky, but I think it was just some weird video designed to mess with your head.

About the person who gets freaked out by violin music - I find that really fascinating. Violin music does have a very melancholy air about it, but maybe there's a subconscious element to this person's particular distaste for it.... like maybe there was violin music playing when they heard bad news.... or even a during a disturbing scene from a movie they watched while they were really young and the mind has blocked it all out apart from that dreaded feeling?

Hmmm.... very interesting.

I wish this thread would pick up again, I love hearing about the weird and wonderful ways the mind works.

Dark waters. I have a many dreams where I was plunged in dark water and couldn't suface. I also just hate not being able to see what is below/with me. I will swim in the ocean, but only where I can touch ground. No further than that. Dark waters on tv freak me out too. Especially when the camera goes under the water and all you see after a certain point is blackness. Hate it. Have to look away or change the channel. Oh, I also am terrified of uncovered windows at night.

Is it normal to have absolutely no fears?

I have things I strongly dislike (chalk squeaking on a chalk board, forks scraping across a plate, people coming round uninvited) and things I suddenly startle to but can control myself from afterwards like say a wasp buzzing up to me.. initially I jump and want to run and then remind myself that the wasp will get caught up in my wind 'wake' and 'follow' me so I keep still and waft it away.

I can't think of anything that leaves me with a cold sweat, heart racing in fear.

Spiders is a big one for me.

Another is children. They creep me the hell out. Especially little girls between the age of 5 and 10.

And yet another would be mirrors. I won't look in a mirror for more than a few seconds. I have this irrational fear that when I look, there will be someone in the mirror behind me.

When I was a child, I used to be afraid of lots of things, including the phone, the vacuum cleaner, cameras (I would always get hysterical when someone wanted to take a pic of me), gas stations, hospitals, doctors and dentists, schools and many more Of course I wasn't able to explain what was so scary about them (and I still don't know). Now the only things that make me feel uneasy are industrial areas, hospitals, gas masks, unexpected visitors knocking on my door and anonymous phone calls... And I also agree that some people have those scary vibes about them. Some smells can also unnerve me.

Looking at reflections of things, and looking at windows of just about any house. For example when I'm in my room doing something, it really bothers me when the TV is off. I cannot look at the reflection of it. I have the weird fear when I'm looking at it that I am not alone and someone or something is with me. I pretty much have to force myself to turn it on and or else it will just drive me nuts. I have seen/imagined random people near me, so I honestly cannot look anymore. When looking at windows of any house, including mine, well let's just say I cannot look at them. Why? I have this fear since I was kid. Looking through any window, I would almost always see someone that's not supposed to be there. For example, when I was swimming in our pool in our backyard when I was a kid, I got out of the pool and saw a women in my kitchen window looking at me. Kept looking at me four about 4 seconds where I finally had enough and forced myself to look away. Wasn't my mom or anyone I know. It just scares the hell out of me that I actually see these things and I don't know why. That's probably the same reason where looking at reflections creeps me out, accept when looking at myself in the mirror in our bathroom I don't have a problem.

Saint brenard dogs.l all thanks to the movie cujo hahahahaha

Owls and lizards creep me out.

Masks have always scared me. Like the mask the lady is wearing in a earlier post. I guess I would call them emotionless masks. Creepy.
