What is the scariest thing you've come across or can think of?

[Vlinny-kun]

Real talk. What's something that haunts you or really sticks with you that makes your skin crawl?

Spoiler

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This:

Gave me nightmares.

Edit: holy shit, that first video of yours is my worst nightmare.

Drowning is top of the list for me, then being adrift in space with limited oxygen, then the concept of eternal life.

I don't want to die, but I've spent (too much) time contemplating how shitty/boring eternal life would be.

I guess there's just no pleasing me.

nice try nsa

The afterlife is terrifying tbh. I don't want to spend eternity doing nothing forever. That sounds horrible.

Actually a real fear here

Dem Communists overtaking Europe after my country experienced real Communism for seventy years.
How much until they invade us again because we aren't progressive enough?

Well, I got shot once, so that's something I dream about once in a while. There's a few experiences like that but they don't bother me too much.
I guess the thing that haunts me the most is outliving all my loved ones. I know it's selfish, but I really don't want to be last...

I've recurrent nightmare since near death drowning as child. Yesterday it took form of dream with narrative in which everything was being overtaken by the water.

This and deep water in general, the whole being out there alone up to your shoulders with the beach far away has probably been in some of my nightmares, especially riptides

Spoiler: Slight Powerlevel

considering that i've had an actual experience with one

those bastards will suck you straight out to sea unless you know how to get out of one

I hate big stuff that hovers next to you in empty space. Like giant water beasts slowly going past you, a shadow vessel coming out of the hyperspace fog,

THIS FUCKING THING

 

[Marco Fucko]

Sometimes I get this crawling heat up my back when things are too quiet, which is why I usually play music or have my headphones on. Especially if there's a door open and the next room is dark. Hypothetically, someone could be there.

I don't have a 'real' fear. I'm not a tough guy but for some reason I've become desensitized to a lot of things and didn't even really react to getting robbed when I was working at a gas station a few years ago. I guess I'm pretty okay with dying but can't stand the unknown.

Basically, there's this Japanese poem about a child falling into hell called "Tomino's Hell". The legend goes that it's cursed, and that you should never read it aloud or "face the consequences". While the story around the poem is kind of basic, this reading of it where a shitty voice generator reads it is pretty spooky. Got nightmares for the first time in nearly 10 years after hearing it.

For me the scariest thing is how many people now think that mental illnesses called homosexuality and transgenderism are something normal and something to be proud of .

Theres a short science fiction story, written by Stephen King, called "The Jaunt". The premise IRCC is that we invented teleportation, "jaunting", but you have to be unconscious during, because theres some sort of time dilation where a second in normal time is trillions of years while jaunting. Theres a little anecdote in the story where some guy "murders" his wife by shoving her in a teleporter while she was concious, and then destroying it so shes trapped. Just the idea, being fully concious but utterly alone.

The things I find the most scary are generally the things I find the most disgusting, like maggots or skin diseases for example

As a kid I saw a ghost.

An unwanted close encounter with a Lightning Elemental.

Yes, they're real. Look up the poorly-named Ball Lightning, plebs.
