Things that creep you out and fascinate you simultaneously

    I've realised lately that I kind of like that feeling of being a bit creeped out. Not full-on scared, just that shuddery feeling. Does this happen to anyone else or am I truly a weirdo? I sometimes look at photos of things that creep me out as a means of entertainment. Okay I am a weirdo.

    So, the main things that creep me out but I can't stop looking at the are:
    1) giant rabbits
    2) pictures of bats faces, close up
    3) images that come up when you google 'trypophobia'

    Anyone out there??

    I hate the sea & everything in it. Still cant get enough of it though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 120 ✭✭Teacher23


    Ooh speaking of the sea - tsunamis. I once almost failed an exam because I stayed up all night the night before not studying like I had planned to, but watching video footage of tsunamis!

    Vladimir Putin.


    The husband was watching the grand prix just now, and that creep had to hang his face into every shot he could. Creepy, but you just somehow can't look away.

    Death. I'm terrified when i think of the finality and inevitably of it.however , a small bit of me is actually , I know this is gonna come across wrong but , excited by it.it's the ultimate unknown. I think I'm 99.99999% certain it's just the end but it's the tiny,slight chance that my consciousness might show up somehow again in some different form that fascinates and excites me.

    I think he's actually quite the dude. At least he's not one of those 'as long as I have my snout in the trough its ok' guys.

    Heights creep me out. But only from static structures like bridges, canyons etc. No bother in a small plane, but have me looking down a cliff or a skyscraper and it makes me shiver and at the same time I want to get closer to the abyss. Very weird and quite scary in itself.

    Track machines big and small how they can go around in circles all day long, how you can dig with the track motors and blade at the the same ends, fascinating.

    Ships sinking and aircraft accident investigations. Horrible but fascinating.

    Get out of that ship before it lists to 45 degrees, after that it is the point of no return.

    I get a shiver through my body when I watch those youtube compilations of people being eejits hurting themselves (especially some form of faceplant).

    Yet I still watch them :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,395 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    Serial killers and air crash investigation.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,526 ✭✭✭Slicemeister


    Thunder storms.
    hate the thunder, love the lightning. One of the best things I ever watched was a thunderstorm over the TV tower in Tokyo from the nth floor of a hotel with a bottle of whiskey. Had I been able to hear the storm, chances are I would have been under the sheets.


  • Registered Users Posts: 120 ✭✭Teacher23


    I thought of another one. Squeezing spots/blackheads. So gross but so satisfying!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,986 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles


    Surinam toads. Anything to do with trypophobia, especially crumpets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,903 ✭✭✭micar


    being beside big massive giant ships scare the si1te out of me. I have to close my eyes and turn away.

    I'm fine once I'm on the ship.
