Since I just ate a whole bunch of banana-creme pie, I'm srsly hyper.
And thus I cannot sleep ):
So while I was brushing out my hair, it suddenly donned on me that I can't actually look at the mirror when the lights are very dim or when it's dark. [Mind you, it's almost 12AM here and my neighbors call the police for anything.] So I left the lights off.
Ever since I was little, I've never been able to do this.
I can't walk into the bathroom when the lights are off and it's dark in there just because I unintentionally glance at the mirrors in there.
I guess I have a fear that a creature or ominous spirit will emerge and strangle me or something.
....
I watch wayyy too many horror movies. ._.
What about you?
I guess these aren't so much
In my old house, usually walking from the bathroom back into my bedroom-- I'd get nervous for some reason, it had something to do with my feet, like something would pop out from under the bed and get them-- so I'd often take a flying leap to my bed, and sometimes miss.
Another one is, I can't sleep with my hands outside/hanging off of the bed, I've had one too many cats think it was playtime and jolt me out of a deep sleep, with a bleeding hand. |D
Oh god I hate mirrors in the
I also have a fear of owls to this day because of a story a Hopi lady decided to tell me when I was 5 about skinwalkers. O_O I'm Ojibwe and we're not too fond of owls ourselves, but apparently this lady decided I needed to hate them as long as I lived. Its not as bad now, I kinda think the wee owls are cute, but when I was little owls scared the everloving crap out of me.
Hm.. 10:10 is evil to me
10:10 is evil to me because during one of the worst weeks of my life I caught it everday.
I HATE 10:10
and on 11:11 I make a wish (:
I have very good eyesight in the dark as well... My friends are always saying I have night-vision
These all make me feel less
Being Cherokee myself, I actually love owls. We have several barn owls that live in the massive poppler trees right outside my bedroom window. At night I can hear them skree at each other c:
Ohjesusbarnowls. O__O I'm
I always have to hear
It'll get so quiet I'll crawl under my covers and stay absolutely still. I tend to hear an endless ring as well. Never changes pitch. It's always the same.
It's not much of a superstition that I have, I just get paranoid over it.
Haha, I think barn owls have
Wheyyyyyyy; Is it a really high pitched ringing sound?
Can't really explain...it's
I don't think I've ever heard
Not really sure I'd want to by the way you're describing it XD
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU. YOU CAN
My head hurts now.
I'm not exactly
I don't like absolute quiet either. White noise please.
My grandma always used to
So far I'm pretty sure its true ._.
Ugh. I hate that feeling, Pega. Like something will come out of hiding while you're helpless in the dark D;
I've never lived someplace
If ever the shower curtain is pulled shut when I walk into the bathroom, I have to pull it open to make sure no one is quietly standing in the shower.
I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.
-faunet
Ohh... that one definitely.
I'm paranoid over everything
Like there's this song that I can't listen to inside the house out of fear that the house will burn down.
And I can't walk into the bathroom without the lights on and look in the mirror.
Quote: I always have to hear
hate that frigin ringing sound!
it is like some one is going to kill me. i cant stand it one bit.. ugh its like a bit highpitched. kinda like a staticly kind of sound idk its hard to describe it doesnt hurt your ears but it is annoying to hear o.e
very very annoying. and scary o.e
i lost my mp3 player so i actually sleep with the lights on. cant sleep with out a noise. if the light isnt on tv is. idc what it is playing aslong as it aint scarey or yeah. if its just on the menu idc xD
i believe in spirits graeatly infact i believe one is in my house. i feel somthing wrong when lights are off i practicly freeze or shit myself so my eyes trick at times. paranoid o.e and i swear i see shapes moving. my eyes adjust rather easily but while they are adjusting it is scarey until they adjust and i see every shape clearly. with just a dim light i can spot anything odd. one time i was half asleep i swear i saw the shape of a man. no detail just a silhoute idk spelling... and it scared they hell out of me. i woke up after that it was gone. i turned the light on and watched a movie the rest of the night.
but my tv randomly switched off the same night (it isnt a timed tv) it just switched off. it never does that to me. i probs got paranoid and my tv may have shorted as it is rather old. but idk o.e
dim light+mirrors= i dont like it one bit. my face looks evil like im about to jump out and kill myself..
bloody mary thing... yea... not smart to listen to it. but if it is true i feel sorry for her...
also if i feel a cool or warm spot. i cant be in a room alone.. (if it comes out of no where randomly)
some are shildhood fears. and some are serious beliefs. and others paranoid.
i love the night but i hate it at times. also while talking about this i took my ear phones out so i could listen to what around me. .
im such a baby...
heheh o.e
I'm not very superstitious,
Here are mine: When I walk
When I walk around the house in the dark, I try not to look at the red glare from the tv light cause of the Extra Terrestrial movie. I am sooo scared of that movie, I can't even put the initials on here. :< I hate thinking about it, cause I'm afraid he'll, like,.... He's just really really scary. :<
You know the endless, pressing sience on your eardrums? That's Grey noise. High pitched and scary? Yeah. i get scared of it too, but when the silence is like, uber quiet, I hate trying to make noise, cause it sounds Uber loud. :<
Uhm... I don' really hate the dark, it just puts me on edge. i would hate to be stuck ALONE in the dark, but generally, I'm just a little freaked out.
*hi fives snow* 8D Quad- Oh
Quad-
Oh jaysus...
I have one, yet really I am
Whenever I'm out wandering, alone, and I can hear a storm approaching, thunder, I hold onto my Thor hammer necklace, caressing it so the lightning won't strike down on me. (And I'm not religious... )
Ah jeez, I have way too many
I will mostly always shamelessly admit that I'm also generally afraid of the dark.
I can't sleep if the covers aren't over every part of my body including my mouth and my ears.
For some reason I'm safe from everything under the covers. >_>
Especially facehuggers (rofl, I am totally serious, too).
Someone also said something about a closed shower curtain. Can't stand those, I have to check for someone or something before I'm at ease. :B
Also the mirrors... something about them... anyway, completely concur on that one.
Same thing goes with televisions. For me, at least.
It was especially bad when I was a kid and I'd seen The Ring for the first time.
Though, something about white noise when I'm sleeping is comforting. I always need a fan on or something.
This topic is fun. 8D I'm sure I'm missing some, but there are some of my weird ones. I'm glad I'm not the only person. :x
MM I can't sleep without
I.. Just can't walk into the
Just can't walk into the dark.
CAN'T.
I'll do anything but that.
It feels like somethings going to jump out at me there.
I think it's because of all those murder mystery stories I read |D
I also, cannot sleep unless my blanket's covering every single little millimeter of my body.
Oh, and this one's really, really childish but I can't sleep without my closet and drawers closed.
And I also purposely leave the door open when I go to bed.
Okay, you can tell that I'm really freakin scared of the dark in general.
My weirdest: I can't flush
I finally figured out why, a while back. When I was little, I would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and have to go to the bathroom, and as soon as I flushed or started washing my hands, one of my parents would burst in, panicked, and ask me if I was sick.
No, Mom. I just had to pee :<
Also, the closet door must be closed completely at night, unless there is a light source inside it. Likewise with the bedroom door. I don't like open doors in the dark.
Hoo, there's a lot that I
I cannot sleep without a light on. I can sleep just fine if it's turned out after I sleep, but I'm scared if I wake up and the light's not on. I always think something's going to jump out and eat me ;3;
Also, for the longest time after hearing about the this one movie, I could not do anything without facing the mirror. And I can't go into dark bathrooms, I feel like something will eat my face if I do. I can't hang off the bed at all, I can't have my closet open when I sleep, and I used to not be able to sleep with the door open even the slightest. Even now, I can't sleep with it completely open D8
Heh, just wanted to track
I´m not really afraid of the dark, most of the time I actually like it... some time ago I enjoyed going to walk alone in the forest in dark, when there´s nobody else around. Without a flashlight, of course, so if there WAS someone, they couldn´t see me either. A dark forest isn´t a big deal, but can´t stand the dark water, sometime if it isn´t even deep. Also the dark mirrors... not even sure why, I guess I feel like there could be something creepy behind me and it would jump on me if I look into the mirror and see it. And I can´t sleep if I don´t have my neck covered, even when it´s really hot. I can throw away all the covers fine, but there still needs to be something on my neck so nothing can touch or bite me. These are actually quite funny how un-rational these things are. =D
And yes, I do watch a lot of horror-movies.
They don´t usually bother me anymore, though.
...oh, and I also have some weird, un-rational fear of breaking my fish-tank if I or someone else touches the glass. I have no idea where this one comes from, I have had even nightmares of it happening. ô_o
Hmm most of mine have already
-Don't sleep in a supine position (Sleep Paralysis)
-Talking bobble heads are strictly forbidden. Batteries are to be removed promptly.
Not nearly as good as some other people's on here, but eh xD
Quote: Oh, and this one's
oh yay im not the only one!
spyris to me darkforest is fine. dark enclosed silent place. nah-uh no way.
oh and when i turn my light of in my room. when i kinda got over my fear of the dark. id pretty much try and avoid looking at the tv. cause idk it seems to glow. stupid electrical appliance XD
also when id flush the toilet when i was little. i would never flush it. id have horrifying dreams that i would get sucked down or that the toilet would eat me when i flushed it .-.
same with the bath tub when you pull the plug i hated the sound...
OH ANOTHER!
after hearing this talking tina story. all my baby dolls where no longer in my room. the way they just stare at you with their little eyes, o.e still scares me. same with porcalin dolls o.e they just scare me..
^^;
im trying to remember some more and i probably will XD
infact i opened my closet the other day and i mustn't have closed it properly. no one had been in my room. but when i went into my room to go to bed, it was wide open ><
its good to actually share these altho bringing it up kinda reminds me and brings up the fear again LD but is alright i guess XD
