Even though halloween is long passed..I am in the mood for some good scary stories...ghost stories...personal experiences that are terrifying or perhaps even some urban legends....

Oh and they do too! hide in your shoe or climb on your face..scare the crap outta even more!

I had a bear and an elk (luckly not chasing each other) come very very close to me while i was hiking and doing a search task

While we're on the topic, I heard that the average person swallows about 5 spiders every year while they are asleep (the spider crawls into their mouth and they automatically swallow). *happy thoughts*

Don't worry, you probably ate it during your sleep :p

that's not true.


anyway, I have been bitten by a spider that was hiding in my bed, and also stung by a scorpion that was hiding in my bed too.

I just keep having to re-learn the same lessons over and over again
shake out your shoes before you put them on, check your bed before you get in, and don't live in the country.


as for a scary story, it was scary at the time (although not halloween scary) but it's sorta funny now.........

It was 10p and we were all asleep (we have kids, so we need extra sleep) and I heard what I thought was someone on the porch, so I woke up my husband
"someone is at the front door"
"no, there isn't go to sleep"
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
"see?"
"sure, if you won't let me sleep I will go tell them to go away"



My husband goes to the front door

"who is it?"
"bounty hunters"
"go away!!!"
"Just open the door so we can see who you are"
"NO!!!!!!"
"Then go to the kitchen window, so we can see who you are"

now, at this point I am having a panic attack, and my husband is trying to figure out how to get to the phone without crossing in front of the kitchen window (not because they were looking for him or anything, but because we didn't know who they were)

There had been some home invasions in the area, and for all we knew they were trying to get us to open the door, or they were going to shoot him and kill/rape me, not to mention the fact that we don't have any weapons in the house (on account of little kids)

anyway, we called 911 and waited for the cops, who confirmed that we were not who the bounty hunters were looking for, and got them off our property.

Yeah, you come across that fun fact ever so often, but it's really not possible.

I mean, HELLO, how many people even sleep with their mouths gaping wide open? And what are the odds that a spider (let alone 5 in 1 year!) would lounge in the vicinity of your bed and take a fancy to not only walking onto your sleeping body but straight into your mouth? Plus, who the fuck wouldn't wake up when a freaking spider was busy climbing into their mouths?!!

So, like I said, it's not possible. NOT POSSIBLE. Did you hear that, spiders? It's not possible!

*gibbers*

Smunkee, you had actual bounty hunters come to your house?

While I do feel for you and your family, that is perhaps the single most badass thing I've ever heard.

I sleep with my mouth open...
And I have animals; so if I feel something on my I figure its something sleeping in my bed (usually a cat)...so even though I'm a light sleeper, I'm not sensitive to being touched while sleeping.

Thats how a spider will get into my mouth.

A couple months ago my sink drain started breathing.

A couple of months ago you say.

I'd get out of your house. You drain has been colonised by baby Egg Eating Tarantulas and will explode any minute now!

Alright then. As long as the spiders know it's not possible with me, you can have your midnight snack. Blech.

Huh?

There is something living in the wall between my bathroom and my kitchen. Every now and then my wife and I hear it rustling around. We're not sure yet how it got in there. More to the point, we don't know what it is. It's probably a mouse or a squirrel or something like that - but we don't know. On at least one occasion, my wife and I both heard it make a noise that sounded to us like flapping wings. So, either it was a weird echo, or we have mutant winged mice in our walls, or - something else.

(Insert creepy organ music here)
Oh no! It's not a mutant winged mouse, it's Lunatic Goofballs! He's coming to get me! Help me!! Help meeeeee!!!!!!
:p

It's kinda a funny story now (one we save for parties and such) but when it was actually happening I was terrified beyond imagination. Mostly because I could tell that my husband was freaked out, and he doesn't scare easy, I mean the man chased a wild boar out of my yard before with no fear at all.

We had just moved in, so I guess the bounty hunters had old info, I found out like 3 weeks later that the guy they were looking for was staying across the street, he got picked up on a warrant, and the neighbors accused me of turning him in.

That is, until I explained to them that if I knew who/where he was I would have told the bounty hunters and got them to leave us alone, and maybe came up with some $$ for my "insider info":p

Spiders are the one creature that both intrigues me and frightens me. All my worst nightmares involve spiders. :( Even the ones with serial killers and stuff can't top the spider nightmares.

I used to be really afraid of spiders but my husband and I made a deal when we got married, that if I would kill all the spiders then he would deal with anything else (snakes, scorpions,javolinas, bounty hunters, ect.) so now I am not afraid of them anymore, but I have found that I replaced that fear of spiders with an even more silly fear, I am scared of crickets now. :eek: :(

Oh, I HATE spiders. *Shudder*. When I was a kid, my big brother and cousin told me there were tarantulas in my cousin's basement, and then locked me down there for half of forever (in a kids' world) and turned out the lights. I stood on the bed and cried until our parents found me, completely terrified, and trying to keep an eye on all the bed-legs at once to make sure nothing was crawling up to get me, even though it was too dark to see and I was crying. They got in trouble, but I think that was the begining of my irrational terror of spiders.

hey, crickets are far more dangerous than you think: one those bastards killed my entire family. just you wait, i'll show him!

I once scared the shit (not literally, thankfully) out of myself, but it's kind of a retarded story now. You know how when you're trying to get to sleep, and then you think "oh shit don't think of scary stuff" and then all of the worst possible images pop into your head? I've had some fun ones, but this was my favorite.

I started thinking about Chucky, which is retarded but kind of a scary concept if you think about it. So I'm trying to get the image out of my head, and I can totally picture him toddling down my hall towards my room. I roll over to try to get comfortable, and something dark and rounded (like the top of a head) wanders past just over the edge of my bed. I royally freaked out, and flipped the light on to find it was just my fucking cat walking by with his tail up.

I was shaking so bad XD

"who is it?"
"bounty hunters"


is not something I'd like to hear at 10 pm

Spider crickets must make you shit yourself :)

There are these crickets that look a lot like spiders.
*Googles*
Yeah, the little fuckers are called Cave Crickets (http://www.uky.edu/Agriculture/CritterFiles/casefile/insects/crickets/crickets.htm#camel) or Camel Crickets, depending. Nocturnal, and nasty too look at. I don't think that they actually do anything, though.
The basement of the house I lived in during my stint in VA was infested.

since when did spiders do cricket, I'd hate to try and call LBW on that

and the time putting the pads on sheesh!

I don't see why that would worry you, they're skittish, nocturnal, and (I believe) entirely vegetarian with no real defensive mechanism. The exist to eat moss and be eaten by the black widows and tarantulas that live in your garage.
Those mole crickets, on the other hand, can grow out to 2 inches long and just love to burrow. Constantly. I bet they're like earwigs in their inability to back out of a tunnel when they get in. They'd just go in one ear and out the other, as it were.

in my dreams a fluffy white rabbit can turn into a red eyed demon possessed gargoyle that only survives of the blood of humans. and those crickets already look freaky...

Great..now i am never going to sleep..or putting on my shoes..or getitng into dark cramped places..darn you spiders!
