My heart is still beating fast!

[LostInAnomie]

1. I hope you cleaned yourself before starting this thread...

... Did you?

[Minimus]

I screamed, and closed my eyes real quick.

That could give someone a heart attack.

[auntAgonist]

2. holy shite!!!

even forewarned wasn't warning enough!!!!!!!!!!!!


geeeeeeeeez louise!

[Droopy]

3. I knew it was coming and it still scared the shit out of me. n/t

[Deja Q]

17. I had another Konqueror window open concealing the link and

still got a jolt.

But if I saw the image head-on, I'd be sitting in a puddle of my own cowardice by now. :D

[Nikepallas]

4. I see what you mean

:wow:

[MuseRider]

5. GOD I HATE THOSE!

Thanks, now I have to go clean up.

[meganmonkey]

6. That was pretty f*ed up!!

:o

[Child_Of_Isis]

7. Oh my god! LOL... n/t

[Minstrel Boy]

8. I'm not even clicking that and I'm scared.

:scared:

[huskerlaw]

9. OH HOLY

CRAAAAP. I screamed. I pushed my laptop off my lap. And then I burst out laughing. Good one!

[JimmyJazz]

10. I keep looking and looking and I still can't find the three differences!

[tjdee]

11. Tell me what it is!

I'm not clicking on it but I'm dying to know.

This must be what it's like for some people deciding to watch Bush on television.

[auntAgonist]

15. you MUST look

it only takes a moment ... you must look ...
just click .. sit back .. relax... you must look :)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. You are evil!

LOL :)

[auntAgonist]

30. well ...

hell yes :)

[Liberal_Andy]

12. sh-sh-sh-sh-shame on you!

:beer::beer::beer:

[Minimus]

14. sorry!

I need some company in being scared sh*tless.

[Lefta Dissenter]

13. Oh for Pete's Sake!!!

I have seen those before, you gave fair warning, and it still scared the SHIT out of me! :scared: Why, oh why, did I click on that?????

[Minimus]

16. That was the first one I have experienced, and I hope it never

happens again. I am actually gun-shy now about surfing the internet and clicking on things. I think I'll just stay in DU and quit wandering around.

[auntAgonist]

18. me too Minimus!

even the dog barked !!

[NaturalHigh]

38. My cat is still giving me a dirty look.

I think it scared her almost as much as it scared me.

[Longgrain]

19. You think that's scary

look at this...it's a video of a real life ghost (does that make sense?:shrug: )

Warning: not for the easily chilled or the weak of heart...

http://www.princeton.edu/~ccaro/mist_or_ghost.html

[Minimus]

21. I can't look then. I am still shook up from that stupid thing that got me.

My husband is out of town and I am alone so I'm I bit more nervous than usual.

I'll mark this thread and maybe when he gets back I'll muster the courage if he watches it with me.

[bettyellen]

29. OMIGOSH I WON"T SOON RECOVER FROM THAT!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

35. you're bad bad longgrain! please place link again for

my daughter to view...i woke her up with my scream and she wants to see the ghost?

[Longgrain]

40. Hee. hee. hee

But sorry if I spooked everyone...

Here's a link to site where I originally found the little video...

http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/

if you can't find it, look toward the side of the homepage, under "most popular topics", "Eerie ghost video"...

I will admit, I still get a bit of a chill watching it myself...

Bad Longgrain

[SoDesuKa]

20. Practical Jokes

Practical jokes are juvenile, especially when you play them on people you don't even know.

[Lefta Dissenter]

22. I guess the subject line of the original post

should have been a clue... :scared: :hi:

[Redleg]

23. You rotten shithead.

Oh my god- my heart is still beating a mile a minute. I think I will need new underwear.

I can't wait to show it to my wife....

[Lone_Star_Dem]

24. You need a warning label on that thing!

Something like don't hold your cat in you lap while this plays. LOL

Wow, he has mighty sharp claws! Of course me screaming and jumping did not help the situation.

[d_b]

26. Yikes!

that one got me.

[Longgrain]

27. Just trying too scare a little life in the Louge N/T

[progmom]

28. holy shit.

you loser. :spank:

And I was sitting there thinking - I wonder how many people can read dutch and know what the heading says...
Jeez louise!

[auntAgonist]

31. omg progmom!!

I thought the SAME thing !!!! LOL

[progmom]

32. How well do you speak Dutch?

I lived there as a teen, and much of my family is from the Rotterdam area, but I would be hard-pressed to carry on a conversation right now.

[auntAgonist]

34. I only know a few words, and would be in BIG

trouble if I had to live in Holland. I picked up a few phrases years ago from a fellow who used to work for me .. but sitting here I can't think of ANY!

[Longgrain]

33. Maybe we should show it to Dick Chaney,

I think his ticker could use a good adjustment ;) .

[NaturalHigh]

36. I'm emotionally scarred

I was sitting there looking at the two pictures, trying to figure out the difference when "it" happened. What on earth was that thing?

[sonicx]

37. i'm a p****. i closed before the scare came.

:(

someone tell me what happens.

[Droopy]

39. You wussy!

You'll have to find out like the rest of us! :evilgrin:

[RevolutionaryActs]

43. I'm too scared to open too!!! Wanna go huddle in the corner with me?

:scared:

[Dukkha]

41. I know what would happen

but it still made me jump

Damn You, sir. Damn you.

[Minimus]

59. that's ma'am and

I'm sorry it scared you. It really shook me up and I'm alone this weekend so I needed someone to commiserate.

[Minimus]

60. I sincerely apologize to anyone that was scared.

It was not meant as a practical joke, I just needed someone to commiserate.

My husband is out of town and I was very jumpy last night.

:grouphug:

[juslikagrzly]

42. You all scared me so much

just talking about it, I made mr. juslikagrzly watch it with me.....and still jumped a mile. Who do I call in the middle of the night when I have nightmares :evilfrown:

[koneko]

44. Fright Night

"Welcome to Fright Night - for real."

Considering that it's the film they ripped that hag from, and I screamed loudly enough to wake my roomie & send my kitties scrambling away, I'd say the quote fits.

Once I calmed down, I sent the link to the two friends I'm planning a vacation with. My comment was that we have to look into "this place" for a destination. I believe in spreading sunshine wherever I go. Heh-heh.

[Droopy]

48. Welcome to DU, koneko

Yup that's some scary shit even if you are expecting something to happen like I was let alone seeing it unawares. I hope your friends don't hate you for too long for sending them the link. I imagine they'll be paybacks so watch your back. :)

[auntAgonist]

45. Ok, I told my husband....

Come see this!!! look carefully ...

he says........




I've seen it.

just like that ... he's seen it before!



he's NO fun at all.


I'm still laughing !!!!!!!!!

[Baja Margie]

46. Jeeheesuss, I nearly fell off my fricken chair.

[Longgrain]

47. Sorry if I freaked anyone out...

But it's been a long week and I'm Jus' trying to fun you all.

Once again, here's the link to what everyone's been talking about, ifn't you haven't seen it yet.

Once again, not for the squeamish, weak of heart, young children, or pregnant or nursing women...

http://www.princeton.edu/~ccaro/mist_or_ghost.html

You do have to look really close to see the Ghost, focus on the car if you can't quite see it.

There is also a faint, barely audible scream that can be detected shortly after the so-called ghost first appears.

Have fun,

Longgrain....

[fleabert]

57. I am such a sucker.

hook. line. and. sinker. AGAIN.

[Fleshdancer]

49. I've seen it before and it STILL scared the crap out of me

why did I even bother opening it?? lol! I've very awake now though.

[PittPoliSci]

50. that's the most amusing thing ever...

i love those things. zombies rule.

[sonicx]

51. is this like that video with the car driving down the road?

[Longgrain]

53. you got it...

but don't tell...

Okay.

[sonicx]

54. ok, i think i've had enough of that...surprise...for several lifetimes...

i'll pass. :)

[Buddhakitty]

52. That was a Floridian, was it not?

[AmyDeLune]

55. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My *gasp* Heart!!! *thud*

[fleabert]

56. you little shit!

I expected it and I jumped!

[Swamp Rat]

58. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Very good. :D

What makes it effective: The scream after playing the "hobbit music" and keeping the zombie slightly out of focus while the serene background remains in focus.

[tjdee]

61. And it takes a bit longer than you'd expect...

UGH I finally clicked on it (not as scary in the daylight!) and I waited...nothing happened...looked out of the corner of my eye...thought maybe I was missing something in the HOLY MOLY!!!!!!

Yup, that's how it went.

[Minimus]

62. I closed my eyes so quick I hardly saw anything.

[NaturalHigh]

63. I'm just now posting this because...

when I showed my wife a couple of hours ago, she insisted that I come back into the living room with her. I've never heard her scream like that.

[Digit]

64. Damn YOU!
