I get totally freaked out by talk of ghosts, aliens, etc.
I usually won't even open threads discussing it.

Anyone else? I think I am going to be in the minority here.

Not really - been there, done that. Reading something online isn't going to hurt anything.

What is creepy is getting an impression off someone and having a person that is a practicing medium echo what I was thinking, word for word, a couple days later. It's happened more than once, and with some pretty random/out there things. I don't like the implications.

Most Haunted is all faked, I`m sure, but I still love it for entertainment.


I`m very sceptical but I do believe there is 'something' and that scares the poop out of me
I refuse to watch Omen because of all the things that happened surrounding the film and the making of it. I hate the dark because my mind goes into overdrive. I blame my mum for letting me watch horror films when I was wee

I find the subject of haunted houses and such - even just reading about people's experiences here - frighting yet interesting. For some reason, I physically get goosebumps when aliens, or ghosts, or things that go bump are discussed.

I think it is fascinating. I love to read and hear about all things paranormal, whether real or totally fantasy/sci-fi. That's my favorite type of genre of fiction, too, speculative.

freaked out yet. love it YES!!


In fact I'm even taking a class called Creatures, Spirits and Ailens

its a compairsion class of Japanese and AMerican Horror movies, ghost stories and Science fiction! Its wonderful that the required movies are like THE RING, THE exorcist, Star Trek...etc.

My college was super haunted....and I have expereinced some paranormal stuff and I even had a subscription to Weird NJ at one time. (I collect the books)

I'm a big scaredy cat (
) so scary movies really freak me out, especially if they are more "mentally" scary as opposed to slasher films. I try to avoid watching them as much as possible and never ever watch them by myself

The only two things that ever really freaked me out so far was watching the movies The Texas Chainsaw Massacre & The Blair Witch Project.
Those two movies just creep me out, and I can't handle watching them.
Some of the Saw movies were pretty gruesome, too.


Other than that, paranormal stuff fascinates me. But if a UFO ever dropped out of the sky and an alien walked off the ship, you'd better believe I'd be headed for the hills!

I try not to freak out. Like when all the cats look at something on the ceiling in unison and there is nothing there, deep down inside, I am crying and wanting to go hide, but because I cant, I try not to freak out, but it is my first reaction.

I am not bothered by it at all. We have had quite a bit of "activity" in our house and it really doesn't bother me like it used to...I get really creeped out with scary movies about exorcisims and demons , I can't hack those at all. I feel like something is watching me.

I am fascinated with the paranormal. It doesn't freak me out. I was freaked out when I saw my first ghost but have been seeing them regularly so I am not fazed by them anymore.

I grew up in a house with a lot of activity, some of it unpleasant. While I'd never want to live somewhere like that ever again, for some reason the whole subject fascinates me.
