kingpotato Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 There is this horror movie called The Descent (2005) were some girls go into a cave get trapped and are attacked by some "golum" looking crawling monsters. I was probably like 10 or 11 years old when I saw it and since then I try to avoid movies with monsters like that, Im always scared of something crawling out of the dark like that. Funny thing Im not scared of golum I think he is funny but maybe its because he talks. And just recently I discover a new fear, Margaret from Resident evil 7, Im not scared of bugs but holy crap I can feel the fear in my spine whenever I play her boss fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first place, you shouldn't really be in some unknown cave to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after seeing that movie, I haven't been to one since. Which includes the ones with guided tours, like Meramec Caverns and Mark Twain cave. I've been to both of them several times in the past, but I'll never go back to either one of them.

I remember a video of some unsolved mysteries, and one of them was about this guy who had a youtube channel were he explored caves or abandoned mines. On his last video he talked about going down inside an old mine. The guy went missing after that and they found his camera and phone recordings of the mine but it looks like he left the camera at the entrance of the mine. No body was found.

I'm not really a cave person because in countries like the US, bears do live in some of these caves and I prefer not to run into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBallen did a great video about that guy. I can't remember which one it was off the top of my head. I'll look back at some of his videos and see if I can find it. If I do, I'll post it. 13 hours ago, killamch89 said: I'm not really a cave person because in countries like the US, bears do live in some of these caves and I prefer not to run into one. Here in Missouri the only bears we have are black bears. They're not as aggressive as other North American bears like Grizzly and Polar Bears. They tend to run more than anything. As for dens, they aren't the most fond of caves that are anywhere near human activity. Other places they hibernate are hollowed out logs, holes they dig in the ground, and abandoned dens of other bears. So they can be found just about anywhere. They tend to live further north of where I live, but do make their way down here on occasion.

Head_Hunter Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I know the world is full of surprises both unexpectedly evil surprises and pleasant ones, both will come and go in anyone's life. I simply don't want to stay in a situation lose everything that makes me happy for life, especially what brings me income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is precisely I don't do old mine/cave explorations because I'm not getting myself trapped underground.

It was napping about 10 ft from me until I woke up. It just jumped up and ran away into the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasher Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I am not afraid of anything physical, I think fear is a state of mind which I have learnt to control and subdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svjiminfxv Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 My biggest fears is heights and spiders. If it counts, I've discovered another fear I have from seeing them big puppets walking around on TikTok too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Everyone is going to laugh at this, but one of my biggest fears is the dark. I've had waking night terrors since I was a toddler to the point that at 42 years old, I'm still afraid of the dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenfreak Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 My biggest fear is definitely heights, when my spouse and I go to the mall I can't be near the railing when we're on the second floor. I walk on the side closest to the stores lol. I also hate spiders and insects, but I feel like my fear of some insects are slowly starting to go away. I joined the insects subreddit and started to show some appreciation to these small creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debashis Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 My biggest fear is losing my loved ones. I know someday or the other it will happen but still I can't imagine a life without them. That's also the only fear I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
