I'm Scared To Go Into My Attic When Alone In The House - What Scares You?

I'm not afraid of my attic simply because I've been there lots of times and we remodeled it. I can't say im afraid of anything at home but I work as a building attendant and at my job there is a huge attic and its really old. The building was built in the 1920's so its very creepy in there it looks like a ghost ship made out of wood. its missing some wooden boards so you have to watch your step and hardly any light in there. I cleaned it only once and won't do it again it is so scray in there and filthy. I even saw rats running around so i just got out of there as soon as possible.

I really do not like going into the basement. It seems like you and I both have the same problem. You probably have some electrical wiring up there and all of the currents surging through the wires gives you an uncomfortable feeling. I know that in our basement, our boxes and what not are down there and it gives me a strange feeling to be down there but I know why now.

I have not experienced that ellie in either of my parents house of or house. But, I have that feeling every time I will visit my friend's house!I am not comfortable in our of the room in her house, makes my hair stand up!LOL! maybe just my imagination but I understand totally your feeling!

Hi Ellie-as you know I live on my own too but am scared of heights as I broke my back from a 2 story high flat (long story) the attic is the one place I am frihtened to go into mainly as its too high and I find it too hard to clean the tiles in my bathroom as they reach the ceiling my son keeps saying he'll do them but never gets round too so I just have to leave them-my one big fear is heights of any kind-blessed be littleowl

Ellie..I'd be there for you..attic's don't scare me and I'll tackle that boogeyman for you..LOL..now what scares me is having to clean the house,wash clothes and the bathrooms..YIKES..LMAO

fears? well i cant sleep in a room alone with the lights off... dont ask why i really dont know. also i cant be near spiders again i dont know why. i also dislike swimming alone ... (toooo many shark moives XD) lastly i fear the idea i'll drive people away from me... hmmm fears are such odd things huh

Well, for me, some of the things I do not like doing when my husband is not around, is take a shower. For some reason I just do not feel comfortable doing so. Maybe it is from fear from some of the Horror movies, etc. that I have watched over time, but then some of it is since I have other Health issues due to being Diabetic, etc. I am afraid that I might fall or something, and if I did no one would be able to help me if no one is home. And definately when it comes to watching Scary movies, and such, I have to have my husband home with me when I am watching these.

I am a big scaredy cat about alot of things. I will not go outside in the dark if someone else does not go out there with me. I am too scared that someone will be out there waiting for me. I work nights and I am home alone while my husband is also working nights away from home. We also have a crawl space under our house that we can access through our garage but I will not go under there at all because I am so afraid that a mouse or snake will cross my path while under there.

I do not go into our "hatch" but we rent, so I do not think anything is in there!

hi ellie..last time..i was very scared to stay in our old house coz im scared of the snake..i once saw a snake nearby so i was very nervous of going to ur store room...i wait until my husband come before we open it..

I wouldnt go up into the loft in our house on my own!!..i would be really worried..but the thing is that our loft lid is quite small so anyone going up there doesnt have much room really...we dont keep a lot in the loft here..just a few odd bits n bobs...but if ever we need to go in there i always send hubby!!!!There are places that worry me..places that i would have to rush away from!!...I once had a real issue withpublic toilets...and I was petrified to lock the door..so i used to wedge my foot against the door and hope that no one pushed it!!lol....but that was a real fear....as for horror films..Oh no..dont even go there..because i cant watch them!!!

Oh, I see that you are absolutely afraid of going up into the attic. I see that you need someone to go with you to the attic to put clothes that were too small for your son. Right? My place does not have an attic. I wonder what scares you when you go up there. So you will have someone go with you.

i think i'm scared to go anywhere that's dark and deserted. i feel ashamed of being scared so i try to face my fear, i think the cause of this is watching horror movies cause people in the past weren't so cowardly.

I dont like bieng in the house on my own, and i cannot watch horror films on my own, not even in the daylight if I do i end up too scared to leave the room!

Nothing much. I guess.. I am used to be being alone at home, especially when family wants to go somewhere else. I prefer to be be left alone at home, I easily get tired of going out with the whole family. I even wake up in the middle of the night, walk around my house then sometimes go out to check and if some thing's not right. What usually scares me are the living, people and/or anything that I sees that can be a threat to me or my loved ones..

Yeah I don't like the dark so anywhere in my house scares me when it's dark! I will never watch a horror movie on my own, I need to have someone there with me and I'm usually scared for another one or two days after I watch it! I am a scaredy cat but I think that's OK. I wouldn't like going into the attic either if I were you! I don't have an attic but I know that they're often depicted as an area in the house that harbours a lot of mystery and secrets! (and dust).

I too am scared to go up into the attic...it's more like a crawl space and the only one that has ever been up there is my daughter....her husband wouldn't even go up there! When she did go up....guess what she found? A turtle shell! Imagine..what the world was a turtle shell doing up there? Go figure. I also don't like scary movies. So they are not on my list of things to do!

hi ellie I will not go down the outside stairs here at our apartment complex as there are no railings on either side and I am deathly afraid I will fall. you see I had a bad fall two years ago that resulted in a badly smashed left shoulder. Ihad to have surgery and am now a bionic woman in a way with a plastic and steel shoulder joint. so if I were to 'fall now it would mean more surgery and the original one cost my insurance $86,000 dollars so not again ever.I have never fully recovered the use of my left arm so am afraid of steps without railings.

Im very brave! I just hate spiders so I cant even look in the attic incase they fall down the hatch!!!! that is scarry? I can watch horror films, I know they are not real, but spiders no way?

This is going to sound utterly ridiculous, but I am absolutely TERRIFIED of moths. I generally dislike all bugs, but for some reason moths fly at me and I panic and run, or cry. Moths are so harmless! I don't know what the reason behind my silly fear is.
