For me its things behind trees. Cannot relax once the sun starts setting in a forest. Remember that scene in The Ritual where the camera pauses on a distant tree for a while, and as it lingers, a creature's hand disappears from where it had been almost invisible in plain sight to behind it?
Oh, yeah, I also have some really funky PTSD-like symptoms I can't fully explain. Whenever I think of supernatural spoopy creatures, anything that is an unknown entity (not real life predators of which I am naturally wary), I get a physiological reaction. Without fail my face streams with rivers of tears. I can be laughing, telling my friend about a silly spoopy film with a creepy creature I saw once, and without fail my cheeks will be flooded with tears, broad daylight, no atmosphere or mood. How do you explain that?
I used to be left alone to watch horror movies as a littlun. Just me, huddled round a glowing tv in a huge dark house in the mountains, my pops down in a separate house having gone to bed very early and left me. Open plan house with lots of windows and a couch in the middle of it all, back to the rest of the house and windows into the mountains, which my dad had convinced me was full of creatures at night. What can I do to get rid of this fear? it really fugs up my enjoyment of the outdoors and I hate night hiking and camping alone as I get petrified by boogeythings. I'm way too old for this shit.
