Every time I turn off all the lights in my basement I run like hell up the stairs. I think the guy from The Shining will come out of my boiler room screaming and swinging an axe at me. WTF is wrong with me????
there could really be a lost soul or ghost in there i had one in my house i had to get a witch to clean the house because supposibly my house was a torture room where they performed acts of violence in the late 1800s to native americans and i actually looked it up and was true about the area so it tied into my house
It's just a phobia I used to think death (yes death, Robe scythe the lot) was after me in my basement (but only when the lights were off). Spend some time there, alone or with a friend (one you trust and can be told why you're doing this), Then start spending longer and longer intervals there. Soon the fears should subside. At least as long as the guy from the shining isn't actually there hiding in your boiler.
Me? I like the quiet solitude down in my basement now even more so when it's dark.
OMG its that feeling that once you turn the last one. you get that one REALLY SCARY feeling in the sides of your neck near the back that you walk slowly or run, but running makes you feel like someone is actully behind you... omg i hate that so much. thank god my dad installed sliding door for light...
I live in a room located in the basement of my home. There's a sliding door in the room leading to it, too. I always imagine someone hiding in one of the many rooms around mine, especially if I'm coming downstairs when it's pitch black. Creepy ass shit. I can't wait to move.
im freaked out by my basement too,i got paranormal activity down there,my papaws old bed is down there (he died of cancer when i was 3 or 4.) and i just dont feel safe.
some places can give anyone scares, for me it was the funeral home basement at my aunts, if your willing to try you should even fight any fears you have and stay in the basement with the lights off for a while
I used to be like that too. Eventually (at the age of 25), I gradually overcame that fear. Though I'm occasionally scared of the basement, like after I watch a horror movie or something.
I too used to be really afraid of my basement. Then once i got taller things seemed much smaller to me and I didn't think that there would be a ghost where the furnace was.
I always take a second look when I go into and leave the basement.
If it wasnt for that damn washer and dryer I would never go down there unless I was having sex with a hooker and my friends were upstairs passed out after a night of getting lit at the strip clubs haha.
OMG déjà vu I do that for instence wen I turn off alight behind me I run like hell to the light igot too large imagination an I barely ever watch horrer movies (I'm a nerd only horrer books)
kinda happens to me too, when im coming from the kitchen/playroom/garage and go past my room while the lights of, i run, thinking something will leap out and kill me
it is totally normal! i run like hell times the max when i turn off the lights in my basement. i think that ghosts are going to come get me. i even try to talk to the ghosts in my head telling them that it's ok and to pls don't hurt me. i think my condition isn't so normal but yours totally is. don't worry.
Yes, I have that problem too. Fear is a natural instinct when confronted with the unknown. I have similar problems with bathrooms, and any place dark and/or quiet. Another thing that can cause fear such as this is the fact that basements are usually filled with electric equipment and, being surrounded by earth, are electrically grounded. This causes large electromagnetic fields. EMFs have been shown to generate a feeling similar to fear in people. It's perfectly normal.
I'm white and I walk through the black ghettos at night with a business suit on with pockets full of cash after work, that's a hell of a lot more "scary" and dangerous than some fucking basement. Man up you wimp.
Hi I'm 10 am I am still afraid of my basement too. Anyway I play the piano and my piano is in the basement! My mom makes me pratice the piano every day for a hour!!! Our basement is very dark it has lots of things in it so I think they are like monsters or ghosts or something. Once when I was playing the piano the power went off I screamed like very loud my voice was so high that my parents couldn't here me. So dude you are a 10000000% normal even more than normal.
man whats wrong with you. everytime i turn off the lights i think michael myers is gonna get me! But the guy from the shining. seriously mike is so much scarier.
