In honor of Halloween coming up next week, I thought I’d share the random things that creep me out since pretty much everyone is afraid of spiders, rodents, etc.

Statues of Random People/Bronze Children

You may be scratching your head at this one, and I would be too without any background. Let me explain: in 3rd or 4th grade, I had a nightmare where a statue had its head kicked off by a soccer ball and then came to life to retrieve its missing body part. F-R-E-A-K-Y. I’ve been slightly creeped out by them ever since. This laughable fear also manifested itself so that I was also afraid of my American Girl Dolls at night and had to put them in my closet.

They’re just weird. I do not like even thinking about them, so I’ll just move along.

Large, Dark and Empty Rooms

This is a more typical fear, but I recently experienced being in a large, dark and empty room about two weeks ago. For those of you that go to DePauw University, you know the stories about East College being haunted. Well, my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, was celebrating our Founder’s Day one Monday evening in MeHarry Hall of East College since we were founded in that very hall (very cool). Anyway, I left my water bottle in MeHarry and had to sprint through the creaky pews completely in the dark because I couldn’t find the light switch. Thankfully I was on the phone with my mom, so I wasn’t as scared as I would normally be.

This is probably the weirdest of my fears, but I find the cartoon characters completely creepy. I do not like how they look whatsoever and looking at them for too long causes a chill to go down my back.

Well, there you have it. I hope my random fears were slightly entertaining.
