What hides in the dark
beyond the window glass
among the shadows?
Wild prowling and furtive steps
hold less of terror
than ancient wounds.

Jane Dougherty Writes 
This is so true, Jane.
The real is often more terrifying than tales of ghosts and demons.
(Funny that we both mention glass today.) 🙂
There is definitely some linking of minds here 🙂 I agree about the ghost stuff. Maybe that’s why we find those kind of stories to easy to laugh off—they don’t actually resonate anywhere.
Yes, definitely mind links. 🙂
And the ghost/horror stories that do scare me are the ones that either never show anything, so my imagination goes to work overtime, or they are about things that seem like they could happen.
The scariest one I (n)ever saw was the Blair Witch Project. I heard a snippet from it on the radio and it scared the bejaysus out of me. I’d certainly never have the nerve to watch the film! It doesn’t need much suggestion.
Some of those old movies–The Haunting of Hill House and The Innocents are very scary, but you never see anything.
They say that’s what makes The Turn of the Screw so scary, but because it’s Henry James, I think it would be scarier with the prose severely edited 🙂
Yes, I guess that’s what The Innocents is. 🙂
Just looked it up. I’m terrible at films 🙂
We watched it again a few years ago. 🙂
There’s also a more recent Polish movie by the same title–in English anyway–that we also saw.
Is that the one about nuns?
Yes.
I haven’t seen it, just the entry in wikipedia 🙂
It was good. 🙂
