I always had a fear of TV static as a kid. I would never watch it very long, even if I wanted to, because I would get too unnerved by the moving 'snow' that eventually took on shapes if I watched a while. It's an optical illusion - of course the static didn't take definable shapes other than whatever the Hell 'default' TV static looks like. Similar to how we see shapes in the clouds, though the shapes in the static result from the 'movement' and the blinding white/black visuals. I don't think I knew this as a kid, which might explain my fear, but...

I saw shapes in everything as a child. From the blades in the grass, the swirls in the marble walls, the paint splotches in my room - Hellish imagery, things I was confronted with daily and even had to watch as I fell asleep. I saw nothing malicious or vivid in the TV static, nothing I could describe to you like I could with the other shapes in the house. I had no reason to fear the static but I did. I thought the other shapes were normal, though obnoxious and intruding at time. But TV static I could never sit through long enough to see anything 'coherent' form from the 'snow' even if I dedicated myself to doing so.

I never saw Candle Cove, I will admit.
