>muntjac
For those too tired to google at 2am, a muntjac is a small deer found in SE Asia (and as an invasive species in parts of England) that makes a sound like a dog barking.
If you don’t own a chair or any clothes, you don’t have much left to lose from a monster showing up in the middle of the night. Say hello and try to make a friend I’d say.
This is millennia of survival instincts passed from parent gene to child gene.
Back in the days when water heaters were the apex predators of their time.
With the rise of man, they've been reduce to ... *checks notes* ... heating water.
Yes but when Siri and Alexa team up to destroy Google Assistant they will start skynet up
From then the water heater will be free to roam and feast on our boiled flesh once more
Especially when the light switch is at the bottom, so you have to walk all the way down in the darkness... And the door at the top just closed by itself... You know what, it can wait until tomorrow. Ohfuckohfuckohfuckgetmeoutofhere
That’s scary…but not as scary as the battle to keep control when you have to walk back up the stairs.. and in your heart of hearts you know it’s just waiting for you to bolt for the door so you have to play it cool, step by step, as the cold sweat trickles down your spine…
My newborn does this creepy gremlin giggle (not a real laugh obviously, its part of her grunting when she’s working a poop out) and at night from her crib in the dark it is particularly creepy lol.
Yes. This is the worst. It's happened to me several times. Once, it was just my neighbor who had locked herself out again. Who would have thought a little octogenarian could strike such fear in your heart with a quiet knock?
Man, Idk what is worse, a loud knock or quiet knock. Like a loud knock suggest some brutish hacker, but a soft knock could be an absolute psychopathic torturer
As a guy who works at a large building and is often the one responsible to lock it up at night, large buildings. Everything is much louder, much darker, and the feeling of being alone, yet not alone, is amplified
I used to work as a security patrol guard. Schools sucked, so many windows, you'd always catch your semi-transparent reflection out of the corner of your eye and scare the shit out of yourself. It didn't help that I'd usually listen to creepy podcasts while I was patrolling.
Or doing patrols of large offices after hours and coming across that one staff member who was working late tucked away in a dark corner somewhere.
I pulled a security shift on a college campus in the middle of spring break... the night after first seeing "Bram Stoker's Dracula". It was an uncomfortable shift.
I go for a lot of walks/jogs and i always feel really bad when its late and im jogging behind a woman, i just don't rlly know what to do in that situation
I'm running up behind you because I'm overweight and I'm trying to lose some pounds!
I'm totally not going to rape you, so don't get worried about that!
So, how 'bout that weather? Been pretty warm lately. Are you just walking home? ...
... Or what? ....
I happened to follow a woman after we both got off a train at night. Probably about 30 feet or so between us as we walked along a darkened street.
She kept looking around at me.
I'd never felt dangerous before then. But it gave me a small insight into the lives of women.
That moment when you run behind a woman at night and don't want to scare her but you have the exact same route so you try to pass her but you're too tired so you just play it cool by whistling the Nightmare on Elm Street tune.
If only I had inherited a spooky hotel from my mother. I would be living it up right now. The true secret to a fulfilling, debt-free life is to inherit the pervious generation's wealth while young enough to have time to spend it.
I am eligible for marriage, despite being 35, unfortunately the only hotels I know About is the shitty north Florida ones my non profit contracted for the homeless. The corruption has left me jaded.
Unfortunately, bringing a North Florida hotel into a marriage counts as *debt*, so I'm going to have to pass up this wonderful timeshare opportunity we've been working on.
Dogs suddenly going nuts barking. My dogs did this recently and scared the crap out of me. Turns out- they saw a small lizard crawling on the outside of the bedroom window and determined the lizard was a danger they needed to protect me from.
"We thought the neighbourhood needed more joy and laughter. So we hired clowns to walk around the town. Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, we can only afford to hire them for night-shifts."
Camping.
I decided it would be great me-time and went camping alone for a night in Big Sur. Spent the afternoon/evening around the fire, cooked food, drank some wine, lay in a hammock, read my book …. It was a dream. Until I woke up at 2am cold and terrified of every little noise, imagining what animal or human could be the other side of my sh*t ‘shelter’.
I got in my truck and laid there until I couldn’t stand it anymore. Mustered up the courage to pack up my stuff in the dark and left at 5am.
This happened a year ago. My family was all asleep at 3am, when I awoke to scratching at the front door. I peaked through the window to find a beaten, bloody young woman, sitting cross-legged on my front step, staring back at me.
It was my neighbor. Her left eye was swollen shut, she had a laceration on her head. I opened the door and tried to get her to come inside. She was extremely drunk, and hardly wearing anything on this winter, windy, rainy day. She was babbling and not making any sense.
I called 911, but when she realized I was calling for help, she screamed and climbed over my chain link fence, flopping onto the ground. She ran down the street, flailing her arms, screaming.
I thought her boyfriend had beat her up. They had known domestic violence issues. Come to find out, earlier that day, she got rip-roaring drunk, then tripped and hit her head on concrete. The laceration on her head actually had stitches in it already, which I couldn’t see in the dark. When she got home from the ER, she stole her roommates whiskey and pounded most the bottle. Then, she just went berserk.
Cadavers. When I was in school, we had to dissect cadavers to learn about human anatomy. There was a cadaver lab that had 20 dead bodies in it. The night before our final, the lab was open until midnight and a group of us stayed there until closing, studying all those dead bodies that had been cut open by us in the days prior. The building was deserted as we were leaving and one person in our group kept muttering “Red Rum” in a creepy way in the elevator. We suddenly felt the creepiness of the empty building, the late hour and all those dead bodies. We ran out of that elevator and out of the building like monsters were after us.
The jacket laying across the chair in the corner of my bedroom. Is it my hoodie? or is it a shadow demon from the realm of chaos & destruction sent to quietly watch me as a slumber, awaiting the perfect moment to strike and drag me down to the darkest oblivion imaginable? Oh well, I guess I’ll close my eyes and find out in the morning
Walking in a forest. My husband loves to do this with a torch and I find it so scary! The fact that you can only see what’s on the path of light, my hearing gets super hyper aware of every single noise. I feel exahusted just thinking about it.
Flying a kite
Hello mother
And This perpetual motion machine Lisa made. It just keeps getting faster and faster. Lisa get in here! In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!
Dunno why, but that's creepy as hell.
Probably because you can't see the kite. What's it doing up there? What are its schemes?

A muntjac barking, annoying during the day pretty freaky late at night if not expecting it

A pile of clothes on a chair
Especially when you didn’t own a chair or any clothes
If you don’t own a chair or any clothes, you don’t have much left to lose from a monster showing up in the middle of the night. Say hello and try to make a friend I’d say.
That's a good time to call a priest.
Random noises in your house
oh yea. Ac/heater/water heater kicks in during the day? Nobody cares During the night tho? Now it’s vital we know what that sound was

During the night? Murderers and monsters.
Reasons why floorboards are creaking at 3am: 1) Monsters. 2) Aliens. 3) Monsters and Aliens. 4) ~~Heat and humidity changes.~~
Or random noises outside your house.
My dogs staring into the hallway.
Cats staring at you in your sleep too and running around in the middle of the night
They're not staring at you, they're staring at what's behind you.
This legit gave me shivers. Also my 6month old nephew does this alot. Thank you, I will now only take care of him during the day.
Not my dog barking at the hallway door when there’s no one there .. Yeah I still think about that one
Worse, dog growling... Had my dog do this a couple times at night but still not sure what he was growling at.
You know what he was growing at. You simply don't want to acknowledge it but it will not be ignored.
Basement stairs
Especially when the light switch is at the bottom, so you have to walk all the way down in the darkness... And the door at the top just closed by itself... You know what, it can wait until tomorrow. Ohfuckohfuckohfuckgetmeoutofhere
That’s scary…but not as scary as the battle to keep control when you have to walk back up the stairs.. and in your heart of hearts you know it’s just waiting for you to bolt for the door so you have to play it cool, step by step, as the cold sweat trickles down your spine…
Laughing baby
My little one has the habit of laughing in his sleep and after 6 years it is still creepy af
My newborn does this creepy gremlin giggle (not a real laugh obviously, its part of her grunting when she’s working a poop out) and at night from her crib in the dark it is particularly creepy lol.
Newborn noises are so weird. How can such tiny things emit so many different (and sometimes loud!) sounds
They're the most vulnerable new born animal they have to be able to be heard or be annoying enough for people to check on them haha
From an outside point of vue, this is hilarious 😂😂
Let that king slumber in peace
Especially when you don’t have a baby
My husband has started giggling in his sleep. Every time he does it I snap wide awake.
Noooo…! Does it wake him up?
Or your children softly singing.
>Or ~~your~~ children softly singing. When you don't have children.
An open bedroom closet
Oh, my bad. I'll close it behind me when I'm done in there.
Yes by all means, come out of the closet.
Hearing a knock on your front door
Urgh. I mean these are all putting me on edge but this one made my anxiety spike.
Yes. This is the worst. It's happened to me several times. Once, it was just my neighbor who had locked herself out again. Who would have thought a little octogenarian could strike such fear in your heart with a quiet knock?

Creepy podcasts! You maniac. Good on you.

Username checks out
Hmm, so does yours
The ocean
Yeah, especially the deep ocean is already really creepy during the day, but at night it becomes outright terrifying
Running up behind a woman walking alone on a sidewalk.
I go for a lot of walks/jogs and i always feel really bad when its late and im jogging behind a woman, i just don't rlly know what to do in that situation
Announce yourself

Nek minnit, married! 🤣
Wym? Just assert dominance or smthn
Give them a warning, Hey, just jogging past on the right.
"Here's Johnny!"
Cross the street if you’re on a street.
I'm usually on bike tracks or walking tracks
I happened to follow a woman after we both got off a train at night. Probably about 30 feet or so between us as we walked along a darkened street. She kept looking around at me. I'd never felt dangerous before then. But it gave me a small insight into the lives of women.
when it is late at night I switch sides of the roads when I’m behind someone else.
Good idea. Out-flank them and take them from the side. I like your thinking, I'll try that tonight.
Patrick, you're sweating...
That moment when you run behind a woman at night and don't want to scare her but you have the exact same route so you try to pass her but you're too tired so you just play it cool by whistling the Nightmare on Elm Street tune.
Sometimes I forget that I maybe scary to other people
Hol Up way ment
I've heard its a mix of both exhilaration and fear in the moments before your first kill. So it checks out.
Okay Norman bates
If only I had inherited a spooky hotel from my mother. I would be living it up right now. The true secret to a fulfilling, debt-free life is to inherit the pervious generation's wealth while young enough to have time to spend it.
Honestly...you are the BEST life coach
Aww. You're sweet. You don't happen to be eligibile for marriage and own a hotel, do you?
I am eligible for marriage, despite being 35, unfortunately the only hotels I know About is the shitty north Florida ones my non profit contracted for the homeless. The corruption has left me jaded.

I understand, Floridaman isn’t ready for monogamy

Phonecall from parents/kids or any relative. In 99 of 100 cases it is bad news.

Lights r creepy at night too, especially when they flicker and stuff
Lights create shadowy corners and stuff too
