The creepiest/scariest real world things?

[Amethyst Wind]

Blindness. It's impossible to imagine. You don't see blackness, you just don't see anything.

 

[Dr. Doomsduck]

The FUCKING OCEAN. WHO KNOWS WHAT'S DOWN THERE? I SURE AS SHIT DON'T BUT I KNOW IT'S BIG AND HAS LOTS OF TEETH.

I will take those 'oceans' and raise them with 'dinosaurs'. Not sure if this qualifies as 'real' but they used to exist, so fuck y'all, I'm posting it anyway.

To me, there is nothing more scary than knowing there used to live giant reptiles in those waves. I can handle bad sci-fi movies about it, hell, I can handle regular sharks and crocodiles but just the thought of this...hell no.

Spoiler

It's probably got to do with that recurring dream where I fall into a gigantic ocean sized pool containing a whale and one of those assholes.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Snakes. Every time I even think about one of them, I just get cold shivers all over. Eurgh.

 

[Pinkamena]

Fucking wasps... Not as much creepy as scary. I know they won't hurt me if I don't scare it, but something in my head just snaps whenever one of the fuckers are less than 2 meters away from me.

[Jason Rayes]

The parasite that infects ants, pulls tendrils out of their back, takes over their central nervous system making them reach the highest point they can in the sorrounding area before exploding into spores to pass on the virus. This ACTUALLY exists people. Forgot it's name, but it's terrible.

Capatcha: "be mine". I love you too Cappy!

You read Cracked too?

OT: Definitely clowns

I actually kind of like spiders. I usually have a hunstman in my room, they eat bad spiders and annoying bugs.

 

[Doclector]

Spiders. Oh my god, spiders. Everything about them is horrible. I hate them. I swear they're the worst things in existence. It doesn't help that they're the worst things you can encounter in games ever.

Captcha: Clean and shiny.

No, they really aren't, Captcha.

I'm addicted to minecraft, and yet I hardly ever play it for long.

Know why?


because the moment I hear that sound, the fun and creativity drains away leaving only pure terror.

Aside from that, the fact that at any time, we are a handful of crazy people in positions of power away from total chaos. It happens. From one person managing to gather a mob and causing a riot, to one person gaining a small movement, then manipulating the government's system to put himself in charge, and keep himself there, then going on to oppress half the goddamn world and murder 6 million innocent people. All because one crazy man found a way, and at any time, it could easily start again.

#3. Old gregorian chants, you know that kind that are always used as ambient music when some evil cult is involved...

Wait? What? You mean the legit gregorian chants? Why? How can this be scary...


Oh well

OT: I don't really know... Embarrassment? Judgement? other annoying social anxiety stuff... Slenderman

That sounded amazing, I feel so relaxed right now.

OT: Botflies and spiders. (Now I'm not relaxed anymore D: )

 

[Simon Pettersson]

Darkness. Just plain empty darkness. Oh and other people ...

 

[HardkorSB]

The scariest things in the world are human beings.
I mean, to other species, we must be some evil godlike overlords.
We keep them as slaves, we experiment on them, hunt them, artificially breed them, eat them, wear their skins etc.
If you're an animal on this planet, you're fucked because of the human beings

 

[Seagoon]

Now imagine if you will, that thats your leg.

I. Hate. You.

[small](Just playin' I love you all)[/small]

O.T. I agree with clowns to an extent but the granddaddy of all creepy things in my eyes are maggots.. FUCKING MAGGOTS.. I have had many a nightmare regarding maggots. The worst thing is how you know that when you die, those mothers are going to be all up inside your body! UUGAHAFUAD:lkhd wlg:F\KWGSJDNKBAV GR[PEIDF;L

Stay out of all the oceans, they're where bad stuff is.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

The FUCKING OCEAN. WHO KNOWS WHAT'S DOWN THERE? I SURE AS SHIT DON'T BUT I KNOW IT'S BIG AND HAS LOTS OF TEETH.

Yeah, I gotta go with oceans.

I remember I was dragged into the ocean once when I was in San Diego and I kept flipping out every time something brushed against my leg.

Seriously though, there are things in there with big sharp teeth and they don't want cuddles.

That we know about. D:

I agree as well. Oceans are scary.

I've only been to ocean beaches a handful of times on vacations, but I never went more than a few feet/steps into it. Never swam in the water, just let it get about as high as my shins and maybe to my knees because of the waves.

Other than that, my fear of the ocean comes from nightmares I've had, and wow are they doozies.

Usually I'm under the water, something big is headed towards me though I don't know what it is, but right before it gets into view, I wake up.

While I agree that yes the oceans contain some of the most screwed up creepy scary things, that is only a basking shark, hell we see those in the waters around England.

On a similar water note The Bolton Strid. Looks lovely but when you know about it it's rather scary.

 

[DugMachine]

I'm with you on abandoned hospitals or insane asylums. They're such perfect horror places... maybe a tad cliche but they creep me out. Shit.. even regular hospitals creep me out.

Deep oceans are kind of scary. Been out on deep sea before and you get this eerie feeling staring into the abyss... like something is looking back up at you. Shame I gave up on my dreams of being a marine biologist. While it creeps me out I find deep ocean fascinating.

 

[SpectacularWebHead]

Religous people and the dark.

Religous people scare me because of A) the shit the extremists do in any religion and B) if any of them are right, I am so going to hell, largely just for being bi and atheist.

The dark beause You never know what's out there, you know? Hiding in the shadows. Waiting for you.

 

[game-lover]

Darkness. Just plain empty darkness.

This. So much this! It makes just about everything spookier. Nothing but wide space. You can't see anything. It could be almost anything hiding in there. Out of the shadows...

Both human threat or non human...

Spoiler: Feed me, Seymour

What the fuck is that?? What is it?? That's not a shark!!! Is it?

 

[INF1NIT3 D00M]

Camel Spiders.

Spoiler

/Thread.

Apparently these horrible things leap several feet into the air, latch onto the undersides of camels, and inject localized anesthesia, as opposed to venom. They then proceed to CONSUME FLESH.

Whenever I remember these exist, I get the urge to just nuke earth from orbit.

 

[Tycon]

Stonefish. The scientific name is Synanceia. Just by the lightest graze of your finger on this legendary fish the pain caused is said to be so intense that victims plead to have their limbs amputated.
