Every once in a while, we all come up with crazy jump-scare ideas that turn out to be all in our heads. The list goes on and on, from being scared when you see your own image in the corner of your eye to thinking someone is trying to get you through your bedroom window when it’s just a tree branch scratching at the glass in the wind.
It’s silly, but in the moment, you tend to believe it and fear it with all your heart. But don’t worry, you’re not the only one. The funny pictures below show how other people have been scared by things that turned out to be completely safe and innocent. We’ve all been watching too many scary movies, that’s for sure. But who doesn’t like a little bit of excitement? So just do it. If you dare, scroll. But you should be careful, because trouble is near.
