Is there anything that gives you 'the creeps'?

As a Christian I would never have a ouija board in my home or attend a seance.

Same here....heard some awful things that have happened to people after using one of those...

We were young and foolish.

Would you have one of these in your house?

Played with one of those as a child, at school. I asked it my dad's name. None of my friends knew my dad as parents had long since been divorced. PLUS dad was known by one name, but his real name was another name.

The damn thing only told me my dad's real name. First and last time using a ouija board. Never again.

I don't use mine.
I just like the look of it.

That child character Sam in Coronation Street. He puts the creeps up me I don't know how but he does.

Since these are all sounds would be caused for practical reasons, doors need oiling, tiles have slipped, trees have come down, loose drafty doors and windows cause a howl when the wind blows, it would never occur to me that any of these sounds are in anyway creepy, so I would just deal with them.

Aha!
That's what these practical types think as they head down to the cellar to check out a noise!
It's their undoing, I tell you!

If we had a cellar, we would have a built in swimming pool. Nobody in our village has a cellar - the water table is far too high.

A swimming pool..
Have you seen 'The Omen'?

As one boyfriend commented, taking me to the pictures to see anything even mildly scary was a waste of money. I just sat their with my eyes shut and my hands over my ears - he couldn't even get a snog!

I haven't seen The Omen or Psycho or The Thing that Came from the Deep or anything even mildly scary

Very sensible.

I just had this pic from my brother.
Enough to give anyone the willies, Halloween or not!

I had better not repeat the caption he added instead of the original - I know there are some sensitive souls on here.

Oops! His caption appeared anyway! ?

[grin} as well!

Witzend ???

Witzend. Brilliant

I’d have no problem heading down to our cellar - it’s tanked, painted, carpeted, with proper lights and heating. We’ve a freezer, washing machine, driers, exercise equipment, shoe racks, labelled storage boxes and lots of the DGC’s toys down there. It’s just another room in the house.

Some family members still shudder at the thought of going down there after dark though, lights or not. It might be to do with my old porcelain doll, Theresa, and the DDs’ big old dolls’ houses, being there.

Or it could just be the coal cellar next door, full of old boxes and junk, a swinging bare light bulb, cobwebs and the fluorescent skeletons painted on the bare stone walls by the children who lived here before us. Or, at least, we assume they were painted by children….

Lived in a house built in the 1700s that had a Grey Lady. We all saw her now and again, usually in the evenings but it could be any time of the day - just a glimpse out of the corner your eye. She meant us no harm. We almost regarded her as a friend.
We now live in an even older, stone cottage - full of odd creaks and other noises - again, nothing to worry us. BUT since the recent (the last 12-18 months) the increase in rural crime we are an oasis of super bright illumination from dusk to dawn.

Anyone remember this from a Luther episode that .’ featured a terrifying masked killer lying in wait for his victim in the space beneath her bed.’ That certainly spooked me.

I haven't seen that, but it sounds the stuff of nightmares!
I have read, too, about a real life killer who hid inside someone's sofa!
Makes me glad I only find peanuts and things in mine!

It was very creepy. She got into bed, then he slowly slid out from under it. I couldn’t watch any more!!

Argggghhh!
That kind of thing is my greatest fear, I think.
I'd have a heart attack, I reckon.

Oh yes, remember it well - lady gets settled in bed and suddenly this man slides out; we can see him, but she can't - truly terrifying! Made me glad that all our beds are divans, with no space for anyone underneath. Also comes in handy when our 3 year old GS sleeps, as he's worried about monsters under the bed and can see for himself that it can't happen in our house!
