I use to have this fear of the dark at night. Specifically I was scared of my nearby closet. For some reason I swore I use to see a figure watching me at night.One night I asked my friend if he dealt with something similar and he responded by sending me this image. He claimed the image, for some reason, warded away any issues he had at night. He slept peacefully, and he became less afraid of walking around alone.I've had this image on my computer for about a few weeks now, and my fear of the dark has slowly gone away. Besides that, I asked my friend where he got the image from and he said "Ahh its whatever" which is NOT and answer.Nothing weird else about him, I tried image searching but only found other random creepy faces like it. Anyone have any idea where this image came from and what it could possibly be?
>>41098510I used to be afraid of the dark as well, even well into the age of 14-15. And I have this weird thing where I remember really early into my childhood. The earliest I remember being afraid of the dark was when I closed my eyes when I was 3-4 and I saw the text "DEATH" pop up. That got me scared and for some reason I continued having that fear of the dark. I wouldn't close my eyes when trying to go to sleep and that would make it hard to fall asleep of course.
>>41098520Why do we do that? We always decide to just...make it scarier than it actually is? I always hid under my blanket too, not understanding that doing that didn't change much. If something wanted to get me it would still get me. Maybe looking it in the face? IDK.
>>41098545Yeah and there was nothing that anyone could have told me that would have made me change my ways. Presence of someone else helped and I was comfortable then but no amount of reasoning with me would have helped.I did also cover myself in blankets and just kept my eyes open and looked towards the door. Must have taken me hours to fall asleep instead of tens of minutes due to it.
>>41098587In my case ever sense I got this image I haven't had any paranormal stuff around my house either. No odd knocks, shadows, cats acting up. Maybe its all in my head but I feel better when I see this face.
This is very interesting to me, I would be curious to hear more.Often times at night in the dark I find myself having these involuntary visions/images in my head of figures running up to me that make me feel creeped out.When I was a kid, and even sometimes now (though it happens much less often curiously), I would close my eyes when I was trying to sleep and see lots of flashing scary and creepy faces. The faces would sometimes keep expanding into fractals of scary morphing faces.Anyway, there's something kind of weird about this image in that my eyes were drawn to it initially because it seemed like one of those random scary faces that get shared around online but it interestingly doesn't feel creepy or unnerving for some reason.
>>41098720Im more creeped out by the fact that its apparently no where else online? Tried image searching it and the only other place I found it on was a reddit thread from someone who saw THIS thread.
>>41098510He was trying to troll youHe failed very very badly, somehow You must really trust your friends:)
>>41098735Yeah that is also part of what is so interesting to me. OP please press your friend to figure out where they got it from
When I was younger I had read much on power of suggestion, on sleep paralysis, insomnia, imagination, etc. I was so convinced that if I were to dwell on a fear of simply seeing something evil in the darkness I would surely see it and it would drive me into a terrible dreadful fear, even to this day I do not like to look into other rooms or into mirrors in the darkness
>>41098772I mean DESU Yeah I'm pretty sure he was fucking with me and its all in my head, but where tf did the image come from?
>>41098792I don't like looking into the mirrors of other peoples' homes. Public areas and work? No problem. Friend's house? I always avoid eye contact.
>>41098510scaredy cat. you should be decapitated
When I was around 3 years old, I had an encounter in the night that has given me trouble just about ever since. This was in an apartment with poor curtains that would usually allow me to see everything in my room once my eyes adjusted due to all the light filtering through. For several nights in a row I had a repeated "nightmare" where I would argue with a dark presence under my bed who assumed the name of one of my friends and the "voice" of a character in one of my favorite shows at the time. "Nightmare" is key here as the only sleep involved was what I was failing to get. I would try to get whatever was in the dark to stay away from me and it would always be trying to get me to come willingly into the dark under the bed, a dark that, unlike the rest of my room, seemed immune to the light. Failing that, as it always did, I would be pulled under my bed and have to struggle against the inhuman force trying to take me in. We were mostly evenly matched in that sometimes I would make it out on my own, but sometimes I had to yell out for help. Immediately, my brother in the bunk above my bed would turn to see what was going on and my mother would come down the hallway to see that I was alright and as soon as they looked to see what was troubling me, the deep darkness dissipated and I could see under the bed, nothing else was ever there. No, it could not have been a neighbor as the walls and floor were made of solid brick and showed no signs of disturbance, plus my apartment had nothing beneath it but concrete. The wires ran through the ceiling and the water pipes didn't have a reason to be anywhere near. Thankfully, my parents (very) soon decided to fill that narrow space under the bed with filled storage boxes, after which point I had no more trouble with night terrors of that sort in that apartment. Not that there weren't other strange things going on there, but that is for a thread where it will be more on topic
