Spooked Adults Reveal What Haunted Them As Children

[rebelmouse-image 18360292 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Things that happen to us in our childhood stick with us throughout our lives, especially the scary memories. Some adults have experienced or witnessed some creepy things in their childhood that still have them freaked out in their adult life. These examples would spook any child and most adults!

leyaroo asks:

What used to haunt you as a child?

When religion doesn't bring you peace

[rebelmouse-image 18360293 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

The fear of dying in my sleep and burning in a Dante's Inferno hell. Southern Baptist preachers can royally mind-f*** with a child's head.

The freakiest dream ever

[rebelmouse-image 18360294 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I have had this reoccurring nightmare that started when I was a child and it still haunts me now.

I dream that I've woken up and I'm in my bed in the room I'm in, everything looks totally normal so I assume I'm awake. But in the corner of the room there is a tall man in a long black tail coat and suit with a top hat on. He's facing me with his head slightly tilted down. He never approaches me but his presence fills me with so much fear. I never try to approach him either and normally wake up after feeling freaked.

This would make anyone shudder

[rebelmouse-image 18360295 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

That scene in the film The Witches where all the ladies remove their wigs and reveal hideous spotted bald heads.

Kidnappings are terrifying

[rebelmouse-image 18360296 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Watching a kid getting picked up by a woman that was not his mom. She takes him into getting into the car. I watched the news for weeks to see if anyone is missing and I would report the car. 305 NKE.

It's been like 30 years and I still remember the license number.

Loss in childhood can leave a scar

[rebelmouse-image 18353491 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

After my grandpa died, I was terrified that another adult figure would also die. I thought it was completely justified behavior to check on my parents when they were sleeping to make sure they were still breathing. I thought if I could wake them up soon enough after they stopped breathing then they would be fine, but if I wasn't there to wake them up then they would die. So I was afraid to be too far away from them when they were sleeping. It wasn't till years after that I even realized what I was doing.

The fear of abandonment

[rebelmouse-image 18349524 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

As a 6 years old with a 2 years old younger brother I always used to fear my parent's death. Like whenever they go out I used to think what if they don't come back, what will we do and who will take care of us?

When the dreams feel real

[rebelmouse-image 18347018 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I would have dreams of being hunted by the grim reaper in a dark, abandoned version of my city. No matter what I tried I would "die" to a swing of his scythe. Never seemed like I could wake up until dying either.

Nowadays my nightmares are usually depictions of me laying in my room trying to fall asleep until something either attacks me or causes immense fear and I wake up. Sometimes I am able to fight back, while other times it feels like I have no control.

The clowns

[rebelmouse-image 18360297 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

When i was about 7/8 I had to have grommets put into my ears, a pretty standard operation but still terrifying to a child! Anyway, the anethistist dressed up as a clown and that awful face paint and oversized red nose was the last thing I saw before going under, that damn clown haunted me for years.

There is some psychological explanation behind this dream

[rebelmouse-image 18360298 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I used to dream of this giant block world. It had absolutely massive blocks of marble.

I had to push these blocks into a certain configuration, and I knew I wouldn't wake up until i got it right. The problem is I didn't know the configuration.

I used to wake up in tears.

The house is coming alive...

[rebelmouse-image 18360299 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

There was this radio in the living room and it looked like a face. So i got really scared of it. I used to get nightmares from it.

Extraterrestrial fear

[rebelmouse-image 18354522 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

The aliens from Mars Attacks, sleep was not possible if I thought they might be in the house.

Those movies that burn into your brain

[rebelmouse-image 18360300 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Watched The Ring as a child. Every time a phone rang I s*** bricks.

A classic

[rebelmouse-image 18360301 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Quciksand. F****** quicksand.

Those tales we were told to scare us, but it went too far

[rebelmouse-image 18346037 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

The witch in the toilet. Every flush she could come up through the toilet and get me or so I thought. Parents thought it was hilarious seeing me use the bathroom and run away as fast as I could.

People in masks are freaky!

[rebelmouse-image 18360302 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

When i was 6 i saw a man with a kabuki mask lurking in my back yard when i was looking for one of my Nintendo games that i got grounded from using at the time. He didn't notice me but it was creepy as h*** and the whole neighborhood was talking about him the next morning. I get the creeps to this day if i go down there at night.

Disney at it again...

[rebelmouse-image 18360303 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

I had this dream when I was 6(so 18 years ago) that I remember like I dreamt it last night. I woke up and went to wake up my parents like I always did , but when I got to their room they were being pulled apart and eaten by Ursula the sea witch.. I remember the look, sound, smell, everything. Of course, because I dreamt that I had just woken up I thought what was happening was real and couldn't "wake up" again so I had to stand there and watch.

Not kids movies

[rebelmouse-image 18360304 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

Killer Klowns from Outer Space. F*** that movie.

Also another scene that stuck with me from my late 80s childhood, but I have no clue what movie it is, is a guy squishes a girl with a heavy crane lowered load. He does it really slowly too while she begs, though I can't remember if it was out of torture or revenge.

The doll phobia

[rebelmouse-image 18360305 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

This one porcelain doll.

Every year until middle school, my grandparents would get me a new porcelain doll for my birthday. Due to an accidental exposure to the movie Chucky (all it took was seeing the VHS case at Blockbuster) I was terrified of porcelain dolls. I felt really dumb for being scared of them, so I didn't tell anyone. So every year, they kept coming.

I would have nightmares about this one doll in particular. My parents installed a shelf in my bedroom to display all my dolls, and I would fall asleep with my eye on that particular doll to make sure she didn't do anything tricky. In my dreams, she would open and close her mouth while staring at me, and when I tried to tell my parents they didn't believe me. I also had a dream that she killed my dad.

A Halloween staple, skeletons!

[rebelmouse-image 18360306 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

A friend of our parents - a retired chiropractor - kept a skeleton hanging from the rafters in his attic.

At Halloween, he'd illuminate it with dark purple and green lighting and invite my brother and me up there to see it.

As a kid, the image of the hung skeleton somehow "haunted" me in dreams.

When you freak yourself out

[rebelmouse-image 18360307 is_animated_gif= dam=1 expand=1]

If I walked in front of a window at night (we didn't pull the shades we lived in the country) the "big bad wolf" would look in to see me so I had to crawl, jump or run as fast as I could to get by a window so I wouldn't die. Played this game for years and it genuinely freaked me out

People Who Wouldn't Quit Their Job If They Won The Lottery Explain What They Do

Reddit user BITE_AU_CHOCOLAT asked: 'People who wouldn't quit their job even if you won the lottery, what's your job?'

A lot of workers daydream about some day winning the lottery and being able to say goodbye to their job.

Far too many workers are unhappy with their job duties, workplace dynamics or company culture.

But with a taste for luxuries like housing and food, they keep plugging away, year after year.

However not everyone feels that way about their job.

So what are these compelling careers?

People Break Down The Biggest Bombshells Their Therapist Ever Dropped On Them

Therapist talking during session

Some people stand firmly stand behind their beliefs that everyone would benefit from therapy and that therapy is life-changing.

It's because of the totally life-changing truth bombs their therapist had dropped during their sessions.

Curious, Redditor anonymiss0018 asked:

"What is a little bombshell your therapist dropped in one of your sessions that completely changed your outlook?"

Communication Issues

"'If you don’t have these problems with any other person in your life, why do you think you’re the problematic person in this one?'"

- maggiebear

"I love this. I have a 'friend' who I always seem to run into misunderstandings with. Every time we had a conversation, it somehow turned into a debate even if it was me talking about my day. The conversations were never easy."

"I always evaluate myself first and take into consideration his critiques. He was very good at convincing me that I was contradicting myself or wasn't good at communicating my thoughts."

"I NEVER had this issue with ANYONE else in my life. I kept trying to figure out where the miscommunication was coming from. In the end, I just minimized contact and now I don't run into this issue."

- chobani_yo

"I read this quote somewhere once (and probably have it a bit wrong): 'It's a waste of time arguing with someone who is determined to misunderstand you.'"

- Reddit

Emotional Regulation

"'You can’t control your emotions, but you can control what you do with them.'"

"At the time, I was a young adult who had learned zero healthy emotional regulation skills (only suppression and shaming) growing up, so this blew my mind."

- lil_mermaid

Tough Relationships

"'It sounds to me like you are trying to convince yourself to stay with your girlfriend. I'm not so sure it should be so difficult.'"

"At the time he said this, I remember it was like he said, 'The earth is flat.' I thought he was crazy when he suggested relationships don't need to be difficult. But eventually, I started to realize I was trying to change myself to stay with this person rather than just being who I am."

"It took me three more months to finally break up with her but from that day on, I vowed to never again abandon myself just to be with someone I had convinced myself was better than me."

- metric88

High-Stress Situation

"I was at a high-stress time, and I asked her how people live like this."

"She replied, 'Oftentimes they have cardiac events.' She said it as an urging to care for myself as much as possible."

- KittenGr8r

The End of Alcohol

"I was struggling with my alcoholism, and we were discussing how I had been cutting back."

"She asked what I would consider success, with regard to my drinking."

"I said I wanted to get to a point where it wasn't interfering with my daily life. I wanted to just be able to have a glass of wine at holiday dinners or family gatherings."

"She simply asked me why. Why was it important for me to drink at those times?"

"It was as if she'd turned on a light. Alcohol had always been a key ingredient in every family function, for my entire life. When I smell bourbon, I think of my uncle. When I smell vermouth, I think of my dad. Alcohol ran through almost every happy childhood memory."

"But, even more than that, I was very afraid of the explanation I'd have to give when family and friends asked why I wasn't having a drink. I had tried to quit before but failed. What if I admitted my problem, only to fall off the wagon?"

"When she asked why I didn't want to completely quit, it was the first time I saw that last part of the big picture. I'd be willing to drink myself to death in order to avoid being scrutinized, or judged for possible future failures."

"That was the day I quit. I've been sober since May 6th, 2017. 2,407 days."

- sophies_wish

Acceptance vs. Enjoyment

"'Accepting something doesn’t mean you have to like it.'"

"That took away a lot of my inner conflicts about situations because I could accept a situation without expending energy internally fighting against the injustice of it."

- alibelloc

Emotionally Immature Parents

"You are not responsible for your parents' emotional wellbeing. They are independent adults who have been on this earth for many more years than you."

- SmokedPears

Not So Lazy

"'Why do you think you're lazy?' Then she listed off all the things she knows I'm doing for my family, my job, and my life."

"It kind of blew my mind when I struggled to come up with an example."

"She also described family dysfunction as water. Some families are messed up in a way that everyone can see the huge waves across the surface. Others are better at hiding it, but there's still a riptide that you can't see unless you're also in the water."

"It made me realize that trying to keep the surface from ever rippling doesn't erase what is happening underneath."

- flybyknight665

The Harm in People-Pleasing

"'Why do you make people more comfortable when you are uncomfortable?' when talking about people pleasing and fawning."

- ERsandwich

Agree to Disagree

"'Stop trying to get everyone to agree. When you need everyone to agree, the least agreeable person has all the power.'"

This really changed my outlook on planning family events."

- freef

Grieve and Start Anew

"For context, I had a major TBI (traumatic brain injury), seizures, strokes, and all around not a fun brain time when I was 28."

"They said, 'You have to grieve the loss of yourself.'"

"Most people wanted me to go back to how I was. The f**ked up truth is that part of my brain is dead. The person everyone (including myself) knew died. I needed to grieve the loss of myself."

- squeaktoy_la

Multifaceted Identity

"They told me that my job and career is just a way to make money; it's not my life or identity. That took a lot of pressure off me."

- unfairpegasus

Breaking the Cycle

"They validated me."

"'You always talk about not wanting to do to your daughters what your mom did to you. You worry about it so much in every interaction you have ever had with them."

"But your children are 19 and 21 now. They are happy and healthy and they trust you because you’ve never abused them in any way. So I just want to validate for you that you really have broken that cycle of violence."

"You did that. And you should be proud of it. I’m proud of you for it.'"

- puppsmcgee74

The Grieving Process

"I was constantly bringing up how I felt like a completely different person after my mom died... like there was a marked difference between before and after her death."

"But once, she was asking about my hobbies, I got really into describing all the things I loved to do or at least used to do before I got into a deep depression."

"She was like, 'Wow, you seem very passionate.'"

"And I just sat there like, 'Well, I mean, I can't change what I like to do, they're still fun to do.'"

"And it's like she knew when to take a step back, because it was like, wow, I may be super depressed about my mom passing, but I'm still me. I'm still my passions and those don't go away."

"I don't know, maybe it only makes sense to be, but it really started getting me back on track."

- Hannibal680

Sharing the Load

"I've never really had friends. I've had colleagues and classmates and housemates and people who have hung out with me, but I never really felt close to any of them."

"And I did that thing you see on here sometimes; I stopped reaching out to see if I would be reached out to, and I wasn't, which I took as confirmation that they didn't really want me around, or at the very least, that they wouldn't mind my absence."

"I was talking to my therapist about people I'd been close to in college, and she told me to pick one and talk about him. So I did. After I shared some basic stuff like his name and his major etc., and a couple of anecdotes, she asked me what else I knew about him."

"And I couldn't answer. It wasn't really a broadly applicable bombshell, but she said, 'What else?' and I started crying because I realized that for as simple as the question was, my inability to answer spoke volumes."

"I've never had good friends because I've never been a good friend. I'm withdrawn and reserved and I always made others do the work to drag me out, without ever extending my own friendship in a meaningful way in return. If I wanted to have meaningful relationships with other people, I would have to build them."

"I'm still working on this, but I'm trying to make more offers and extend more friendliness to others in my daily life."

- Backupusername

The discoveries in this thread were incredibly touching and profound; it's no wonder these were lasting concepts for these Redditors.

It's important to keep ourselves open to inspiration and insights from others, as we have no idea how their experiences could help us, or how we could help them.

People Describe The Most 'Small Town' Thing They've Ever Witnessed

Aerial view of a church in a small town
Sander Weeteling/Unsplash

There's something comforting about living in a small town.

It's characterized by close communities where neighbors know each other by name and there is an abundance of kindness extended to others.

Gift-giving is a commonality, as is the sharing of recipes, and people going out of their way to help each other in a time of need.

The pace of living in small towns is also a striking contradiction to city life, where crowds of people go about their busy lives without much interaction.

Curious to hear more examples of what small town living is like, Redditor official_biz asked:

"What's the most 'small town' thing you've witnessed?"

These are positive examples of a tight-knit community.

Live Updates

"We have a village Facebook page. Every time the ice cream man drives into the village, the entire page goes ballistic. People send live updates of where the van is and which direction he's heading. The ice cream man has started accepting DMs so he knows which streets to go down."

– PyrrhuraMolinae

Brush With The Law

"I’m from a town of less than 2,000 people. When I worked at the grocery store there people would often drop off stuff for my family members because they didn’t want to drive all the way down to our house. I no longer live there but recently got a call from my daughter. She had been stopped for speeding and handed over her license and insurance which happens to be in my mother’s name. The officer goes 'Hey, you’re Donnie’s granddaughter! I ain’t gonna write you a ticket but I’m telling Donnie when I see him tomorrow cause we’re going fishing.' She replied 'I think I’d rather have the ticket.'”

- Reddit

Roadside Catchup

"The traffic on the 'main street' of my town is so sparse, two drivers going opposite directions can stop and talk to each other for a few minutes without causing any problem."

– anon

When things go wrong, people take notice without incident.

Bank Robbery

"A guy robbed a bank and everyone knew immediately who he was and the teller got mad at him."

– AlexRyang

"A local bank was robbed and one of the tellers told the police to bring her a yearbook from about ten years earlier and she would be able to point the robber out. He had been in the grade before hers in school."

– Strict_Condition_632

Wise Woman

"When I worked at the bank in town there was an older lady that had worked there through 5 mergers."

"She knew everyone, there was a young guy yelling at me one day. She walked out of the back and he immediately quieted. She went off about telling his grandmother that he was treating young women like sh*t. She also said that if he didn’t straighten up not one girl in town would ever marry him she would make sure of it."

– ilurvekittens

Intoxicated Local

"Town drunk was paralyzed and used a motorized wheelchair to get around. I was driving home one Saturday night and said town drunk was passed out in his wheelchair doing circles almost directly in the town square. Had to call his brother who came and picked him up on a rollback truck. Strapped him down and drove off into the cold dark night."

– DoodooExplosion

Grazing Over To The Bar

"In my former small town, there was an older guy who'd lost his license after getting a few DUIs. Every day, he would ride his John Deere lawnmower to the corner bar around 3PM and sit around watching TV and sipping his beer well into the night. Then he'd head the couple miles back home on his mower. He even had a little canvass shell he put on when it rained or got too cold."

– brown_pleated_slacks

It's not surprising how small town people behave differently than those who are from metropolitan areas.

Welcoming Committee

"I lived in a small town. When I moved there, people would ask, 'Whose house did you buy?'"

–MoonieNine

"Move to a small town. 30 years later, you are still the new guy."

– impiousdrifter

"I lived in a small town for most of my childhood but I wasn't "from there" because my grandparents weren't from there."

– raisinghellwithtrees

"Worked with an older guy, relative of the owner of the business, he was 73. I asked him if he was a local, he said 'no his parents moved here when he was two.'"

– realneil

A Busy Day

"Lived in a town of about 5,000: A woman walked into the DMV on a Friday, saw that there were 3 people ahead of her and left to come back another time when they weren't so busy."

– KenmoreToast

Who Let The Dogs Out?

"My dogs got out while i was working. the police called my niece's elementary school (she was a 5th grader) to get her to round them up and take them back home."

– mediocrelpn

"There was a small kennel behind the police station for runaways. They called us saying they had our dog, and moments later our dog showed up home. He broke out of jail."

– Worried_Place_917

While life in a small town sounds appealing, I don't know if I can ever live in one.

I'm so used to life in big cities, I think it would be quite unnerving to adjust in a neighborhood where everyone literally knows your business.

I would be paranoid.

And I'm sure the same could be said of life in the big city.

Would you consider making the switch to life in a different setting?

The Wittiest Things People Have Ever Heard Someone Say

Two women laughing
Photo by Dave George on Unsplash

Every now and then, a friend of ours might say something, or we might overhear a complete stranger say something that makes us stop in our tracks.

More often than not, what we can't believe we just heard is something so ridiculous, we can't help but put the person who said it in their place.

Other times, however, what we just heard might have stunned us silent because of how shockingly clever it was.

Resulting in our not wanting to scold or yell at someone, but rather give them a handshake.

Redditor SubmergingOriginal was curious to hear the sharpest and wittiest things they've ever heard, from friends and strangers alike, leading them to ask:

"Enough with the dumbest; what is the wittiest thing you've ever heard someone say?"

"My mother needed crutches at this point, and they were resting against her bench."

"My 10-year-old niece, who looked like every starving waif image from Dickens, grabbed the crutches and started hobbling round the park."

"All the OAPs were following her progress with looks of pity until my brother ran up behind her, and kicked away the crutches."

"There was an audible gasp from round the park and then my niece picked the crutches back up and started chasing my brother, clearly intending to hit him."

"In the confused silence my brother-in-law’s voice rang out 'Praise be! She can walk again!'"

"We still think this was the highlight of the birthday celebrations."- DdraigGwyn

There's a reason your mother always told you to "use your words".
