I don't think any living thing creeps me out, but if I am cought off guard I will flinch as a reaction to the supprise and then cuss the thing that scared me. True story...I was a fabricator for a large waste hauling Co. When working on a truck, before I would go into where the garbage goes I would look to see if any of the maggots were dead, if so you want to clean it out cuz somethin bad is in there. If they were alive then go ahead and enter. Well I took a look inside and I saw "live rice" I obviously overlooked the ceiling. Because after I entered my buddy came over to ask a question and said holly ($%^& look at that and pointed up at the ceiling. I looked up and as I tilted my head back, the natural thing to do is you open your mouth, well the entire ceiling was covered with maggots, and they all dropped on top of me and some into my mouth. . I couldn't cough them all back up so I had to swallow. My buddy almost wet his pants laughing at me. At least he ran and got me something real strong to wash them down with. I went and took a shower and found them everywhere on my body.

 

OK, add maggots to my list...ewwwwwwwwww...gak.

 

i live in missouri banjo country,{that means when you drive home, you see at least one guy on his porch with a banjo and one toothed smile} i see spiders every day, and they creep me out so much. but thankfully we only have them 12 months of the year cuase when winter comes the just move into my house uninvited.that and the whole steping on a leaf coverd corpse in the woods.

 

Thank goodness I live in Alaska, no snakes, no poisnus spiders, if you are killed by an animal, you will at least hear it coming.

 

I would have to say ticks. There's just something creepy about them!
For as much time as I've spent in the woods over the years, you would think I'd be used to them by now.

They seem to drop from outer space or something. Once I find one on me, I can feel stuff crawling around on me the rest of the day!

 

Actually it is way up north on Lake Superior, not too far from where the Edmund Fitzgerald went down. I'm not a Yoouper (Upper Peninsula ... U.P.'er), but have been told the whole lake freezes over some winters. I do not believe that, but they tell us such things because living in the lower peninsula they consider us as Trolls (people who live under the bridge ). Not half as cold down here in the Detrot area where I live. We have a guy from Duluth, MN, working here in Detroit and he does not consider it really cold until it drops to freezing. Then he gets his jacket out.

 

when i used to live in arizona there was alot of spiders, i remember once i was turning some bowling ball sized rocks over as a kid looking for bugs and i happened to look at my hand and low and behold theres a brown recluse crawling on it. another time i reached up to get a jar of screws off a shelf in my dads shed. Soon as i start to take it off the shelf this huge black spider jumps out toward me, im talking one of those spiders with pencil-thick legs. There was black widows all over the place too. The one that happened the most was I would walk in to a room and soon as i get inside i notice theres a huge wolf spider hanging out above my doorway, another of those hand-sized spiders. I hated that. One time my parents were sleeping and my dad feels something crawl across his face, after the standard wild thrashing that happens after you feel something like this they found broken spider parts all in the bed. Here in washington people consider these little 50 cent piece sized spiders to be "big." After dealing with those southwest spiders the ones here really dont scare me, but i still wont touch one.

 

The town of Hell Michigan is about 20- 25 miles northwest of Ann Arbor.

 

I love insects, but here is something really gross and really creepy... I can top all of the above --Spoiler if you don't want to read it to ruin your appetite!

OK, we have this old well, actually it is a cultivated spring, must be 60 years old. The water comes from the ground and they just build cement wall around it so there must be 100 gallons in there at any one time. It has a cover.

Sometimes I go there to cut the power off or whatever reason, if there is no power due to a storm, I manually crawl in there (about 3x4', narrow, about 5' deep) and upon more than one occasion I found a ground-hog who fell in there, was unable to crawl out, died and had decomposed, floating in the water, or rather what was left of it. In fact, the only thing which indicated it was a ground-hot was its teeth.

The smell is incredible. Worse, some of that water got pumped into the house! Can you say decomposing ground-hog soup? The water was always circulating, so it wasn't stagnant, but still a pretty repulsive thought.

So I had to crawl in there with a bucket and fish it out part by part.

Even more gross, one time I came there and found my chow-chow dog eating these rotten remains I threw out!!! Now that almost made me sick. I chased it away.

We dug a real well and keep this one for a backup, but probably won't ever use it. There are also mice and snakes in there, the whole ecosystem.

 

yeah i would say thats gross but what about this my friend found parts of a mouse in a freshly opened can of string beans, now how would that get in there,specially freshly opened i was there when he opened it, i just about puked when he pured it into a pot and found remains of a mouse in there, but hey he ended up getting about 5,000 out of the law suit.

 

Hmm.. whats scares me are ghosts. I truly believe in them, have too many close friends that have had "encounters" to not believe. I too have been around a few of these times.. i tell about them and it just sends chills down my back.. ahhh.

But i love it, it irratates me when people say im stupid or whatever for believing in ghosts. I also hate when people are too ignorant and self centered to aknoledge that there is life out there somewhere else. What do they know to doubt other lifeforms?

Blah Blah Blah... to each his own.

 

stroker, have you heard of the train tracks in S. A where the school bus got hit and a bunch of kids got killed many many years ago? i was told if you pull up and turn off your engine your car will roll off the tracks uphill!!! and if you put baby powder on your bumper there will be hand prints. i saw it on tv once they did it. if you know where the tracks are let me know i want to try it my self. it is somewhere on the southside i think.

 

I woke up to a tickle on my chest. The half-asleep swipe of my hand felt something unidentifiable getting rolled up in my palm. Ok now I'm AWAKE! I flick on the light, and there's big spider bits all meshed up in my chest hair. ICK!

Another time I reached to the floor to pick up the power cable to my laptop. At the same time I grabbed it I realized I.......picked up something else. With a snap of the wrist I threw down whatever it was, and saw a big wolf spider bouncing off the floor. The babies on her back went flying in all directions, and I went running down the hall. GAAAAAAAAAA!

Spiders give me the *******.

 

I can't stand snakes, or bees when they get in your car, and you can't get em out. (Yes, this has happened to me several times)
I also can't stand anything thats small and crawls.

 

just picturing some of these situations yall are describing is making me lol. one time late at night my g/f was up getting a drink or whatever in the kitchen, yanno so its dark and no lights on. well i hear her scream and furniture is being knocked over so i run down the hall with whatever i could grab as a weapon expecting to see a burglar or something and all it was was a roach had ran up her leg in the kitchen and she went running around the living room in circles and knocked everything over. well i couldnt sleep the rest of the night because i couldnt stop laughing. needless to say she was pissed at my humor.
