AAAAHHH!

MONIQUE!
 
Tch... I kinda expected that. Stupid soothing pan pipes. Wait... was that my mum?
 
LoL

I didn't. Not with Monique's innocence. Her picture, all with her soothing words. hey at least she used one.

I know now I cannot ever trust her again!
She's probably gone to bed, snickering, rubbing her hands and with a wicked laughter, excited to wake up the next morning to see all the shocked faces.

That video scared the bejeesuz out of me!
 
How...how could you, Monique?

I wonder if they really televised this. I can already picture my grandparents recoiling with fatal shock from this ad. Incidentally, what does "So wach warst du noch nie" mean?

I thought they were selling the Honda Civic Hybrid. The peaceful sound and the trees, then a sedan.

Scared the crap out of me. :eek:

Har..har.. I've seen this before.
The author of the post, from where I first saw this from, did a great job luring people in. Here's the text he used:
"This is a car advertisement from Germany. When they finished filming the ad, the people who made it noticed something moving along the side of the car. It's kind of like a ghostly white mist.

The ad was never put on TV because the unexplained ghostly phenomenon frightened the production team out of their wits.

Watch it and about halfway look and you will see the white mist crossing in front of the car then following it along the road... Spooky!

Note: The audio is a bit hard to hear. "

Oh ok. Never mind. I just don't like being scared with dead things really. Well not dead things that move. It is making me paranoid now.

I know it is an actor but it still makes me paronoid. Never mind Monique. I need to learn to be a little less scared at things.

I once spooked an elderly lady from behind using a gentle touch while uttering "BOO". As she turned to face me with enormously round eyes, her knees buckled and she nearly fell (I caught her). I instantly felt very, very, badly for having done this, as it was only meant to be a harmless practical joke. This video gave me quite a start and made me feel the way that woman had looked, so I am thankful that what has gone around has now come around, and wish to believe all is at last forgiven, haha.

How about a cardboard cutout of a man placed in a safe that only gets opened at the end of the day when the lights have been dimmed...

Dunno, that sounds rather frightening.

Okay, now that I've restarted my heart again...grrr. I even read all the other posts warning me, and thought I was prepared for something scary...that wasn't it! What I'm now wondering though is why is it that when we scare ourselves silly like that, I then find myself uncontrollably laughing once I jiggle my heart back down out of my throat? :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

I don't giggle or laugh, my heart races and I then think that if I look in the door why it will happen to me as I walk through it. I get paranoid. :mad: Not fair. :cry:

It reminds me of that picture that was pretty popular on the net a few years ago which innocently enough claims to be steriographic photo depicting a messy room; where you have to stare at it for a while, and a 3d image pops out, but instead a terrifying looking ghost comes flying out of the doorway and seems to jump right out of your computer screen. I remember setting my mom up with that; she couldn't talk for a few minutes after screaming. What is it about seeing something unexpected that just scares the crap out of you?

Chopnik Spraymaster to YOU thank you very much. Wont work, I am not afraid of OR allergic to rainbow trout.

Mental Note: Find something less appealing than dog crap to fling at The Bob... maybe a zombie hand.

Thank you, BobG. That was excellent. The video was not in anyway scary. I found a change of underwear unnecessary. :biggrin:
