The Willies
 

Re: The Willies
 

The same room as you.

Re: Re: The Willies
 

Ohhh what a coincidence! I was in your room when I got the willies.... hmm....and it wasn't a good feeling. :p

Yes I get that feeling too! I HATE going in to our basement, it's not finished so it's all scary concrete rooms and stuff and then there is this "secret" room that the Lambda Chi's made when they lived there and there's no windows or anything in it and the floor drops like two feet and it just looks like a big dark hole. :eek:

Also I hate going up to room 301 in our house b/c apparently a girl died in there, I don't know how true that is, but still I think that area of our house is haunted so I avoid it as much as possible.

There is also this spot on campus by the hospital right before greek town and there are NO LIGHTS in the stupid parking lot and I used to always have to walk through there to get home. I hated it and I never go by there anymore, but seriously it looks like the perfect place to get attacked. Yikes!

ohhh i hate the willies...

when i first read the thread title i was thinking wet willies...those willies are GREAT! especially the bahamma mama...yum ok im done hijacking..

but as for bad willies..those are scary...i hate those goosebumpy feelings :(

Where I'm from, a wet willy is when some licks their finger and sticks it in someone else's ear. YUCK!

On our campus we had a mass graveyard right next to the cafeteria and I felt weird walking by it. I couldn't help thinking there were probably more graves on-campus and they just removed the markers.

KS 361 times Google Search amuses me

Ewww same here! (Maybe b/c we're in the same state lol ) My brother used to give me those when we were kids, EWWW! :mad:

I went to stay with a German family in Recklinghausen once, and the basement of their house scared the bejesus out of me. It was just one loooooooong corridor with rooms opening off either side, all the way down until you reached a room at the other side where they hung the wet bath towels to dry. They always put my towel down there and every time I wanted to take a bath, I had to go down that incredibly long hallway and get it...and believe me, I blazed a trail down that hall and back! I never stopped long enough to look and see what was in each room, but the whole place just gave me the creeps because I felt like something was going to jump out at me. It looked sort of like a prison or something. :eek:

We have this old mansion in downtown fresno called the meux home. It was owned by dr. meux and he and his family lived there in the 1800's. Evidently, one of his daughters commited suicide and another died of scarlet fever and they are said to "haunt" the house. Well I went there on a school trip in fifth grade and that place gave me the creeps big time.

we have those ear wet willies tooo..i had forgotten those...majorly gross...a boyfriend did that to me once...i squeeled and punched him really hard in the arm...taught him a lesson..

favorite willies: the wet (not so earlike) kind.. :)

ok done hijakcing..back to post at hand...

one more scary willie place..the closet in the back of my office..when im all alone..its creepy..

My avatar on another message board!! :)


Actually, I was coming home after a soccer game (and the post-game festivities) and witnessed a car chase & wreck. The driver was killed instantly and the car burst into flames. The passenger was able to jump out the window and ran just about to my car before he sat down to cry. The first policeman on the scene was so gentle - he just put his hand on the boy's back as he sobbed.

Do I have to tell you that I absolutely hate going through that intersection?

Re: The Willies
 

I'll repost it here:

Around a year ago, I was outside the Kappa Alpha Theta house at University of Washington in Seattle (where a Theta named Georgeann Hawkins was abducted by Ted Bundy and to this day, she's never been found). Just knowing that perhaps 30 years earlier (June 10, 1974), this poor girl was taken just steps from where I was now standing, gave me the chills (and it was broad daylight for me at the time and I was there with a guy friend...so creepy).
It happened near the side entrance of the house.

Re: Re: The Willies
 

My exhusband knew Georgeann Hawkins in high school. I would imagine that there's a LOT of "Bundy" places that are spooky!

The Kirksley Old Main building. It's the building for the Mathematics Department now. I believe it's the oldest building on campus, and it's several stories high. I've somehow managed to not have a class in there yet in the two years I've been in college, but in the Fall I have Algebra there. Not only is it old, but the building is very hot and stuffy inside. My Big Sis had a class on the fourth floor once, and she claims it's haunted. It has tons of high steps out front and just seeing it makes me get chills.

Man there is a covered walkway that connects two of our dorm buildings. It is creeeheeeheepy! :eek: I seriously feel a presence there. Those dorms used to be a nuns home, hosipital, and an insane asylum. Of course MANY people died there.

My chapter's house is very old (built in 1900) and was once owned by the leader of a lynch mob in Atlanta and member of the KKK. There is a huge oak tree on our front lawn that was the site of many hangings. The house creeps me out at night when there is no one there.

I also visited the Chi Omega house at UF where Ted Bundy murdered 2 women...

Ground Zero gives me the willies too....its so eerily quiet

The Willies
 

Well, the thing is, there is only 1 "side entrance" for the KAQ house and that's where she was taken from (I read 2 books on Bundy, "The Stranger Beside Me" and "The Deliberate Stranger"). So, that space is easy to "narrow" down and it is SO creepy to think that he stood on that very pavement where I was.


FWIW: UW Greek Row is beautiful. It makes me wish that I went there. :( RxyCrldr can vouch for that!

This is not the Willies, so much as just feeling heavy and sad. I visited the grounds of the concentration camp Buchenwald in former East Germany. The vibe there was one of misery and extreme sadness and gloom....it's almost like the land "holds that energy" and does not let you forget it.

:eek: That gives me the creeps just thinking about it. Any place where it's known for sure that people not only died- but were brutally murdered, is just very creepy.

I just thought of another- last Spring there was an outbreak of assaults on campus (both sexual and robberies). I used to be fairly confident that our campus is really safe, but since one of our sisters was assaulted in a parking lot on campus I panic when I'm trying to go to my car at night there.

I lived in a half house, half trailer welded together. It had the whole creepy Ammityville Horror thing happening. Lucid nightmares, strange smells... One afternoon, I laid down for a nap. I woke up and there SEEMED to be a hundred flies coming out of a loose light fixture. Horrid-HORRID place, but only $300.00 split by two.

The "willies" for me is like a radar system. I can look at someone and get them. If I do, along with a visceral response, I get the heck away from them!

I absolutely hate walking on campus at night. It's dark and campus security is a joke. What's some old dude driving around on a golf cart going to do? I've had a friend ask for an escort before because she was creeped out and a security guard refused. :mad: I also hate walking through the on-campus apartments any time after dark now because it's right next to a bad neighborhood, and there's been muggings behind a certain building in the past few years. When I lived there sophomore year I drove to night classes across the street.

There's a street in my hometown that has been the scene of almost 2 identical car wrecks. The two trees that the kids hit are right next to each other, both with chunks taken out of the trees. My mom refuses to drive down that street because she gets the creeps.

I was really creeped out when the Beltway Sniper was on the loose in Fairfax. GMU is shrouded in trees so we were all playing the moving target game.

As for getting the willies, I'm horrified of dark places. I can't do haunted houses (go ahead, call me a wuss. I don't give a sh*t), basements with minimal light or anything like that. I've never been as scared as I was at Disney World during the Alien Encounter thing in Tomorrowland. I HATE THAT!!!! Being in the dark and not knowing where that damn thing was, feeling it breathe down your neck....eww eww eww!!!

If your friend can remember the date and who the security guard was, I would make a big stink about it. Escorting women on campus is their jobs for *&^$&*'s sake! I would create waves, because that is totally unacceptable! I would write to your campus paper, write to the Chancellor of the University, write to everyone and anyone who will listen (I would even take it to the Media, quite frankly, that's how angry I felt when I read that! Grrrrrr.)

At UBC, we had a safety mini-van that left from the Main Library every 15 minutes! It was intended for women, but men were permitted to use it too (women got 1st choice priority, though).
Then the van driver would ask everyone where they were going and he would drive his route from there (and he was a total sweet-heart and would wait until he saw you enter your dorm's building, etc, before driving off)

I'm with some of y'all about being creeped out EVERYWHERE! I'm such a darn chicken, I'm scared of everything! I hear things all the time, and I've even seen a few things.

CutiePie...you are so right about the concentration camps! I visited Dachau while living in Germany (I still technically live there) and it was just so creepily quiet. However, I got the same feeling from being inside the Neuschwanstein Castle. It was just very cold and unfriendly feeling. While in Bournemouth (the South of England) we stayed at a Hotel that was the WWII Red Cross Headquarters. The halls TOTALLY reminded me of The Shining! I gotta quit talking or I won't be able to sleep tonight!

aj

Actually, that was the Chi Omega house at FSU, not at UF.

This may sound strange, but I get the same feeling at a lot of War Between the States' battlefields. Sometimes, it's a horrible sadness, and other times, it's a frightening need to get away from such a place. I completely agree that the land itself "holds that energy".

Platteville's campus has an enormous cemetary in the middle of campus, no joke. It is right along the main street on campus and is surrounded by dorms, the dining hall, the engineering building, and the track. The older graves (from early 1800s) don't really scare me, but I hated it when I walked to class and saw a grave being dug.

The Alamo. And I can't even watch the movie or talk about the Alamo...maybe it's because some of my ancestors fought in that war.

I have seen the Amityville Horror house, and it give me the willies.
