I like the way you think. I do a bit of the same thing, and never really have feared the dark. Mostly because It’s fun to ambush my friends from it, so I see it as something helpful or fun more than intimidating.

OMG this happens to me too. Trough I don’t run from the ghosts on the stairs, but in the hallway. Also, when I go to bed, sometimes I have to leave my lamp turned on cause I always think some presence is just behind me, or in some corner of my room. Then I jump from the bed to the lamp (which is on the other side of the room) in less than 1 second.

the worst ones are the one-inch-coffinbreaker punches from zombies hiding the crawlspace under your bed, guaranteed to go right through your matress and your chest
although, I dont know how running will help.. I sugguest surveillance equipment and zombie repellent ( shotgun ) at all times.

In the dark I always think my dressing gown looks really scary.

That’s why if I leave anything downstairs I leave it until morning, even if I really need it or something. I never go downstairs if it’s dark.

When it is nighttime, we turn the downstairs light off. Whenever I look downstairs, it feels like a black hole, and someone is going to be waiting for me at the bottom.

There are no stairs in my house, but the hallway is just as scary and the darkest place in my house. There are three rooms and the hallway leads to all of them with the living room on the other end, so when I go from my parents room to my room and stair at the hallway I always do a quick sprint to get away from it and then jump on my bed.

I sleep in a bunk bed at the top, so when I go into my bedroom, I basically run and jump – performing an Olympic sport – up my ladder and jump on my bed.
Has anyone got a bed that doesn’t extend to the wall? There’s a drop near at the end of my bed, so I think I’m going to wake up in the middle of the night and see a scary person staring at me peering over the end of the bed. *shudder*

still, at age 18 every once in a while when I’m alone at night I mentally set up force fields with my palm facing where i put the force fields so no monsters/demons/ghosts can grab my ankles when i go up the stairs. lol, no, i’m not crazy

theMatty — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 08:50:07 +0000

Geez… me too!
For me it’s not the dark but the silence that is scary.
Just the not knowing what is there…
I also have a plaster mask in my room. That makes you scream: suddenly you notice a white face hovering (it’s placed on a stick) in the middle of your room…!
Horrible.

OMG something I thought only I did so I never told anyone, but it turns out everyone does it cause they feel like monsters are coming (at least quite a couple of people) I have more of a fear of something like the ground turning into lava or catching on fire, and my bed is the only safe place from it, but it’s basically the same, I guess they’re just instincts we had when we were young that never went away.

That’s why when I’m in the dark, I don’t scan for objects, I scan for movement and listen for any unusual noises. It helps quite a bit.

agree! when in the dark, i usually freak out the first few seconds because it feels like some sort of ‘presence’ might be there. but when my eyes finally adjust, and i can see again, i’m fine.

I have it ten times worse than you guys. I live in japan and I live basically right next to a freaking crapload of tombs and every single little kid here looks like the one from the grudge!!!!!!!! SRSLY plus one night i was walking home from my friends house at night. I HAVE TO WALK PAST A BUNCH OF VERY OLD FREAKING TOMBS!!!!!
and i also live next to a haunted apartment building. right next to my yard is a bunch of weeds and a forest next to those where i keep hearing strange noises. and one last thing is that my house is pretty freaking big and sometimes when i go downstairs theres hollow spots inn my tile floor and it the sound echoes through the entire house and my pantry light is off all the time. i’d like to see someone top that.

haha! my story’s just as bad. If i have any objects in my room with a face on them (i.e. magazines, photo’s, clay work, etc.) i always have to flip them over or turn them around because im afraid they’re watching me as i sleep… yeah, i sound really insane now that i think about that. lol

at night, i almost always have to turn on at least one light per room when i’m going in (or i have to turn on a lamp in the room next to me so it can shine in through the door). also, i have to walk as fast as possible and to run up the stairs (especially when i want to go upstairs while i’m in the basement). and sometimes, standing next to my bed makes me feel like something’s gonna grab my ankles / lying on my bed makes me feel like something’s gonna try to feel and grab me from below or like something’s gonna crawl out of the gap below me…

gawd, it’s not easy to write such a bullsh*t in english (i’m german)… XD

oh yeah, cause the Grudge kid meowed sometimes too. I don’t freak about about him tho, for me it’s the hair, like in the corner of the ceiling, or when it killed that girl in the second movie. it’s less running up the stairs and more looking at the ceiling of every room I enter

Oh god I know this feeling.

The stairs that lead to my room are open, so when I get to the top of the stairs I usually jump the last bit, out of fear that some freaky girl-monsterchild might grab my ankles and pull me down!
I don’t have the same ankle-grabbing fear when I’m standing near my bed though, probably because the area below my bed is kinda stuffed.

hoooboy I’m glad I’m not the only one… Is EVERYONE too embarrassed to actually share this? lol.

Btw, how about if you unwittingly accidentally knock something over or crackle a piece of paper with your rushing gust of wind, you freak the hell out and run 5x faster, because that’s OBVIOUSLY the thing chasing you?

By: O_O

O_O — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 04:52:10 +0000

I don’t know how strange this seems, but I usually stay up 5-10 min. sitting on my bed with all the lights on to make sure no ghosts are gonna sneak up on me while I’m sleeping. I know – that makes no sense -.- Doesn’t really help that I have a shelf full of dolls staring right back at me either. My dad puts up every stuffed toy I have up there, and EVERY freaking birthday I get MORE.

I’d take them all off and make a bonfire but that’d take major points off my self-respect, ugh >.>

Yeah. First is my mother-in-law’s; you have to go about 20 feet before you get to the light switch, and there are only a couple of bare bulbs and the walls are really dark, uneven stone, so the light doesn’t get very far anyway. There’s a big hole in one wall leading into a crawlspace that’s full of debris (including a stash of empty 60-year-old booze bottles) and an old medicine cabinet on one wall that looks so creepy I half expected there would be a severed hand or something in there the first time I opened it (and my husband said he was expecting pretty much the same thing, and he never watches horror movies.) The sewer has backed up through the drain a few times, and you can definitely tell. Even when the drain is working right, it’s generally pretty damp and cave-like. Plus there’s just a general creepy vibe that’s worse than what I’ve felt pretty much anywhere else. So yeah, the basement in that apartment building was definitely scary, but if I had to pick which one you’d be more likely to find monsters in, it would be my mother-in-law’s.

I second that. I imagine it as some sort of black mist that disappears when i look at it, just like Doctor Who Weeping Angels. It didn’t help that I read a fiction book about a girl who could see ghosts. In the book there was a spirit that appeared as A BLACK CLOUD. It would take over a sensitive person’s body and use it to murder people. Then it would dispose of the used body by jumping out a window and killing it.
