Spooky
Susan Bundlie
My daughter got the following from a friend of hers and passed it on to
me. I'm passing it on to this list, with apologies. DON'T do this at
night when you're alone:
<<This is pretty neat. Apparently the owners of this house had been
seeing
images and hearing voices for quite a while. They did some research and
found that a woman once lived in the house and lost her husband during
the
civil war. Legend says that she used to sit at the table and watch for
him across
the field. He never came and
they say she still waits. This photo was captured of what they claim to
be
her. It's wild and spooky once you find the ghost in the
picture. It took me a few seconds to find it, but when you do it just
stands out. Like one of those optical illusions. To save you some time,
concentrate
around the table. Best not to focus too much on one spot. Look around the
table and toward the window. Enlarge your screen and click on the link
below for the picture. For an added touch, turn up the volume; it's
faint but you can
hear the ghost talking sometimes in a low murmur. Click here:

I saw this one a message board a few weeks ago and absolutely loved it! I laughed till I cried, then showed it to the family, and they loved it.
I was really surprised that on the message board (I think it was parentsplace.com) some people got very angry about it. They didn't see the humor in it.
It made me feel like a kid again, going to a haunted house!

people would post it with a good warning, not just about not doing it at

I was really surprised that on the message board (I think it was

humor in it.
I don't think it's funny either. Must be one of those things like roller
coasters - like them or you don't. Personally, I hate to be startled and
it's a major family rule around here.

Actually the one on the message board gave a couple of warnings in all caps
and very clear.. And still people were mad.
Later though, many of the angry people apologized for getting so angry. I
guess it was like a fight or flight reaction only in text....

I didn't like this either. But then I never liked
haunted houses or horror movies. I'm not a timid
person and I do take calculated risks. I love roller
coasters, and used to ski very fast. I have often
been sailing in high wind in the San Francisco Bay
(which anyone who has done it knows is not as tame as
it sounds).
I think the folks who got upset on the other lists
must have likely been responding to the adrenaline
rush in a self protective/defensive way. I don't like
to be startled either.
That brings up an entire other line of discussion
though. WHY do some people like to be startled and
others do not? The theory of the startle/adrenaline
rush attraction is that it is a "safe" thrill,
intellectually you know there is no danger and so
people enjoy the "thrill" of the biochemical reaction
to scary movies and the like. On the other hand you
have the thrill seekers, who do things with great
elements of danger (racing, jumping out of/off of
things, etc) consistently. These are not safe
activities, so the adrenal rish is that much greater,
and the psycological thrill which accompanies it.
Some people have a greater need or desire for that
feeling, and so seek those situations. The gene
mapping scientists have found a "danger seeking gene"
which some people carry and others do not. That's a
good thing. We need both kinds of folks.
But what about this kind of thing, this simple
startle? What bothers me and some other people about
it? Why does it upset me to be unsettled, off
balance, and nervy/jumpy, to feel that adrenal rush
tingling through my body and my heart pounding? My
own theory has to do with my upbringing. Having many
bad associations with adrenaline rushes early on (like
violence at or around me) and a great deal of stress
and childhood depression left me ill equipped to deal
with stressful situations in adulthood. I feel that
it is a great handicap. I don't like not being able
to handle stress and emotional situations without
being hard pressed to maintain some sort of composure.
I think it is important to protect children from too
much stress and fear. The more secure and happy a
childhood, the stronger the adult. We all know that a
baby left to cry is afraid, insecure, unsure of their
safety and caretaking.
I don't like to be scared. In fact I hate to be
scared. There have been so many real and shadow fears
in my life that I actively seek to avoid more. I
don't read scary books, don't like disturbing movies,
don't like to be startled. I am still afraid of the
dark, though I love the night. I ocassionally have
that ankle-grabbing-under-the-bed-monster fear, or the
following-you-in-the-dark-hallway fear. I still have
nightmares, although they are MUCH reduced in the last
5 years. Maybe there will come a time when I can
handle a startle better, or even find it amusing. I
don't know.

***But what about this kind of thing, this simple

There was a time in human history when if we weren't always paying
attention, always alert, we could become the lunch of a hungry predator.
A startle is a rude awakening that we let our defenses down and shouldn't
have.
A startle like that a long time ago could have been the begining of the
natural conclusion to a fatal mistake on our part.
We still have a lot of these left overs. That "gut" feeling that
something is wrong, the hair on the back or our necks standing up. I
think startle reflex is among those.

i agree, nancy...this thing startled me (and my partner) badly. i don't purposefully startle/scare my children or anyone else, and i don't appreciate being startled/scared just through reading my emails! i'm very sensitive to the emotional/physical/energetic reactions that this kind of thing can create in people....it upset me emotionally and gave me a bad headache too.
i didn't have a violent upbringing, so i can't attribute my sensitivity to that. but i do think some people are just sensitive. mostly i don't think that's a bad thing, and as a massage therapist, i think it serves me well. but i would like it to be respected, even just theoretically, and sincerely hope that i don't encounter anything similar to this on an email list again.

My first reaction was a jump but then I laughed too.
We were at California Adventure yesterday. I love California Screaming,
the coaster that goes from 1-60 mph in like 5 seconds and then goes
upside down. But I also hate it. I can't have the restraint too tight,
when I sit down and put the restraint on I get very anxious. Wanna get
off but Lexie's usually next to me and I can't. I have probably
breathing as we pull out and to the place where they make you wait
anxously until it takes off. There is no warning, or anything, you just
go from standing still to really fast quick. At the top of the first
hill, I can enjoy myself, even put my hands in the air and laugh and
have fun, but man, the first time I do the ride I'm scared to death.
Each visit, the first time is horrid. But the 2nd... I don't go
through any of this. strange.
But I like a minor scare.

I think tha children trying new foods has a litttle
bit to do with security and trust. Trust that
parents won't force them to consume things unwholesome
or bad tasting or nasty or from the family pet.
Trust that it is OK to like some things and not others
and trust that if they want to spit it out, it isn't
the end of the world. Security that even if they don't
like the newly introduced flavor they won't have to
suffer hunger pangs for very long...and especially
won't have to suffer hunger as a punishment. Or have
to suffer over-full as a punishment. An equally
horrible feeling.
New tastes are like new music....I think....sometimes
it takes a moment to get the rythem.

I didn't click on this, because I waited to hear responses and realized
it was something I wouldn't like. I don't like to be startled or scared,
or to ride roller coasters. I'm still afraid of closed shower curtains
(not in use) after a TV ad for a scary movie several (many) years ago.
I'm not a timid person, most people think of me as pretty bold, but this
sort of thing tends to bother me for a long time. I don't read suspense
novels, either.
