Talk:Anansi's Goatman Story/@comment-23702983-20130925221111

I was expecting the cousin with the gun who showed up halfway through the story to be revealed as a goatman. I will admit, I am not easily frightened, but this had one part that made me squirm in my seat a little. When he was describing how the guy was pretending to be asleep, and saw the thing stand up and move around and then lay back down. That image creeped me the fuck out. The last story that creeped me out like that was Cave Story. Not even Dionaea House scared me like that.

I have to ask: what is it about seeing a person do something unusual that scares us so bad? The thought of a person standing in the woods looking at you is slightly creepy. But standing there, looking backwards? That's just fucking terrifying. Why is that?
