LMAO I did the maze game trick on my 10 year old but it didn’t phase her at all, however when I did it to my friend… hilarious results =]

Yeah it’s just a maze and then the exorcist face pops in and screams… she thought it was funny not scary

That’s grat advise. Where were you last year?

Yes, I can patently recall watching some of those videos recommended by some of inhabitants of this website. I’ll just say that there were a few that jolted me.

ive never heard of any of these..thanks for the warning lv :)

Wow, this list is pretty good. But there are a few things missing. Now a days, anything can be a screamer. I run into one almost every day now, because of how rampant they run, but I’ve grown smart to know when it is one. Youtube is loaded with them, and I always pause the video before it even hits 1 second, and look through the comments. If there aren’t comments, I don’t watch it.
Like with Riccofox9, that was my first ever one. But I didn’t get the shock, because the speakers were busted and I looked away as it happened. Only way I know that it was bad was because of the look on my uncle’s face when he called me for dinner. The only two that have ever really shocked me to the point of crying were Where’s Waldo on eBaums, and this Optical Illusions one, I think by Wintrowwd.

Where’s Waldo has actually pretty much damaged me. I’m paranoid of almost everything I watch on the ‘net now because of it. I refuse to watch Exorcist, because we have the version where that face pops up like every 5 seconds during the movie. I saw it nearly 6 years ago, and it still scares me. (Yeah, some people will think that’s pathetic, but I was kinda messed up in the head when I saw it.)
People don’t even know when I’m scared from them, because I don’t scream or jump. I lock up and can’t move, so they think I’m completely fine with them…
As well as being made to cry, only two made me laugh, even if I was still shaken;
“Say It!” aka “Love Poem For Your Mate” (I think that might be the “Say Those Three Words” mentioned above), and “Jerry and The Closet”. (The latter can be found on NewGrounds, former can be found almost anywhere)

Sadly, I’m the only one in my family who get scared in the least by them. Not even my younger brother gets scared like I do. He just closes out when it happens, shrugs, and says “Can’t watch that again ’cause it’s scary.” He’s even described several that I haven’t seen to me.

Once, last school year, I had to leave class because my teacher started playing them one after the other, starting with Where’s Waldo. The school counsler couldn’t even understand why I was in tears, shaking, asking to stay in his office until class was over. I’m ashamed of how I am with them, and I’m even contemplating seeing a therapist about it, because of how my brain is. (I’ve adapted myself to subliminality. If there’s a picture that will pop up in a video for even a milisecond, I will consciously see it, and can remember it in exact detail, weeks later. When I see a screamer, my brain locks the picture into my mind and won’t let go. I can still see the image from the last one I saw, 5 days ago.)

A lot of people will hear my story and call me a wuss, or call me stupid and tell me to get over it ’cause it’s only a picture, and they weren’t scared. But not everyone can do that so easily. Some people just can’t forget the fright they got, and almost everyone perfectly remembers their first one, still getting chills when they replay the video in their memories.

Uhm, I just noticed I’ve been typing a whole lot of stuff. Sorry to take up your time, but I stumbled onto this page while looking for tips on how to avoid them, and I ended up commenting…
