When I was a kid (I’m guessing 5), there was a house nearby where my grandma lived which had a statue of a small dog outside their house. The eyes on this statue were made of glass, and looked incredibly real. I remember standing there staring at the thing, extremely tempted to try and touch the eyes just so I could convince myself that the thing wasn’t alive 🤣. I probably stood there for about 5 min before I finally got the courage to touch it and realized it was just glass.
I was convinced that thing was going to bite me when I touched it.
I was one of those kids that found creepy things really cool. Really the one thing I can think of is werewolves. I was scared that I would become a werewolf or some other type of were creature if I got bit. Nowadays I too find that kinda cool.
