What is the weirdest thing you were afraid of. - Anyone fear that the sky is blue?

[Alex Hogendorp]

I was wondering if I was alone when it came to bizarre fears but as a child I'd often complain about the moon being in the sky because I was afraid of it.

Getting married. It was a pleasant dream at first, but turned into a nightmare.

The night sky. I had recurring nightmares of the moon or an asteroid obliterating my family who were screaming and crying for help. No idea where I got it from, but I still don't like looking up at the night sky.

I had a dream once where the night sky was surreal. All kinds of colors, countless stars and a huge white moon that took up most of the sky. Then a gigantic ship made of all sorts of blues and whites and gold comes down and there's an explosion. Everyone dies. There was no pain but I could feel the obliteration. It was a sound so loud you couldn't really hear it if that makes sense. Then everything was white. I just felt this pressure all around me. And when I woke up I was really shaken and couldn't go back to sleep.

Spontaneous combustion.

When I was really little, I watched an Unsolved Mysteries episode that involved the topic. For a good year or two, I was terrified that I was going to burst into flames from outta nowhere. Was terrified of getting fevers. lol.

When I was six, my dad warned me that if I didn't have enough money to pay my taxes as an adult, the government would hunt me down and send me to jail. I legitimately had a few nightmares about taxes lmao.

I still have nightmares about taxes though, they don't even stop when I wake up

Early CG like in the Lawnmower Man

Once I was in kindergarten or something, and they started playing the Monster Mash which starts with chains dragging and bubbling noises - that part scared me so much I couldn't continue singing with everyone and kind of stood there. Then, I went home and had a dream about a big red monster being let into my room by some lady in a robe and hood, who then told it to eat me. It came over and started eating me, and I was even specifically feeling it chewing all of my parts. Then I woke up.

Gay people. But now, gay people are afraid of me. Truly, a success story.

 

[Vingle]

Niggers, but it's a nice excuse for when someone accuse me for being racist.

My Grandfather is a cunt, and would tell me stories and shit all the time.

One time, we were out in the forest, and he said "come on lad, I have something to show you, you like goosebumps and horror stuff, you will love this". As we walked through the forest, way off the tracks, he told me a tale. Hundreds of years ago, many Christian monks spent their entire lives in silent contemplation, and listening for Gods voice. But sometimes, in very rare cases, the Devil himself would whisper to them. These monks needed a place away from the flock to put this poor monks who had befallen to the King of Hell, lest the infect the rest. So they built tiny monasteries in the remote parts of the nation, hidden from society.

We came upon this small ruin of a monastery, and he told me that at sun down, when Gods light leaves this earth, for a brief moment the Devil can appear. On the far wall of a room upstairs, the devils face shows up on the wall, and you can see the true face of the Lord of all Evil. I gazed upon a collection of shadows, and I could for a brief moment see a face.

3 years I had fucking night terrors, whilst that shit bag would end himself laughing at me. He also told me Bruce Lee lived near my School as well (this was like the early 90s, long after Bruce was dead). Knocked on that poor womens door asking to see Bruce, and she just laughed and shut the door.

Barn Owls. When I was in preschool/kindergarten, they brought one into the small classroom. Something about their ghost-like face, which already put me on edge, followed by it flapping it’s wings suddenly scared the living daylights out of me.

Family still gives me shit about it. I do get some vindication knowing that humans have mistaken barn owls for supernatural entities/cryptids for many years , so maybe humans just find something eerie about barn owls in surprising situations.

As a kid I was freaked out by huge trees, grandfather clock chimes, animal bones, and cicadas. Interesting thing is I like all of those things now.

Just imagine if it vocalized as well, they sound like banshees. The babies can be really freaky as well, the way they all stare and hiss in unison at something they don't like.

Used to be scared of Fireworks as a kid.
