Hmmm...what give me goosebumps? Let me see.
Nails being ran down a chalk board. But that is old school because most schools these days have dry erase boards. LOL
Something going bump in the house when there is no one else home but me.
Things moving by themselves and I have to tell myself that I am NOT going crazy. LOL
Stepping out of a nice hot shower and even though the bathroom door is closed, it is still cold! ha ha
Hearing a beautiful amateur singing. Their purity of being untouched by the media and love for the music is beautiful.

Great post!
So you uh, see....things....moving.....all by themselves, eh? ;D LOL
Sometimes my eyes will play tricks on me at night when I'm taking my night jogs. I'll think I see something move when it's not and I mistake some particular trees as silhouettes of people.
Then I feel like a paranoid wacko having delusions of people after me while running through my neighborhood :P Then that image makes me laugh and I REALLY look like a loon....
I wonder if the kids in the neighborhood refer to me as the "weird girl who runs at night" or the "nut job with the black dog who drinks then runs at night" LOL LOL LOL

LOL! I didn't even think about that! It WOULD look like I was running away from a prank! (If the police ever come pulling up to me I'll know why)
What things do you see?

Thnx for the best response. :)
I have to admit, if I saw someone giggling while they were running at night, I would actually think that person played a practical joke on someone. Like maybe TP'ing a house and the person is running to not be caught. ha ha
As for things moving by themselves...I sure do. Not a lot but I do. And I try to tell myself that I am not crazy. ha ha

Great question! So many things give me goosebumps. I know someone else mentioned it but fingernails on a chalk board will do it everytime or even thinking about someone doing it will give me slight goosebumps. Thinking about someone biting a popsicle stick is another one. (I know, that is strange but it does) .. I'm getting goosebumps right now just writing these!
If someone is telling me a story about something horrible that a person survived, it gives me goosebumps. Or a sad story about children is another one.
Songs at Christmas time about the birth of Jesus always give me goosebumps and bring tears to my eyes, I can't explain it. Without even thinking about it, it will happen. Like an instinct or something.
Those are just a few but I know I have a lot more I can't think of right now.

Oooo-I know exactly what you mean with the biting a popsicle stick!! Uuuhhh!!
And that's a GREAT one about stories of survivors, I definitely get goosebumps when I see movies that have some huge climax of a person combating something ;)

I can't believe I didn't say that one!!!!!
I'm ALWAYS asking everyone to do that!
When I was little I used to ask my mom to french braid my hair just because I liked the way it felt-I didn't even like french braids!LOL!

I get goosebumps when I hear a great voice. When a song is really good, i get goose bumps. Only the emotional spiritual songs. I also shed a tear. When it's cold and a really cold breeze passes by, I get goosebumps on my arm.
