Imagine walking in the woods and then you hear, "Hey Vsauce, Micheal here, how fast can you run?".

[someguy]

When you sneeze and someone says "Bless you.", but you're alone in the house.

“we are now in my bedroom”

woah woah we just met, Michael

[acey.mp]

horror without jumpscares is the kind that impacts me the most. if its good horror, theres no relief from the uncomfortable tension

[captainwaa]

Man had every opportunity to jumpscare us, but didn't. I respect that

Remember kids, chances of being killed by Vsauce is low, but never zero.

“My bedroom, the bedroom I grew up in”
*its just books*
That explains a lot.

*if you ever feel lonely*
*Just watch those creepy images, you won't feel alone anymore*

I should not be watching this alone at night in a shed.

[ashtonkilburn]

I remember watching this as a little kid thinking the uncanny valley was an ACTUAL PHYSICAL VALLEY where things were just creepy for some reason.

There’s nothing wrong with a smile.

To anyone that may read this: Imagine how horridly terrifying it would be to live alone, waking up to see the "I Feel Fantastic" mannequin standing next to your bed. Only to find out there was never a sign of anyone breaking in to place it there.

Note to self: If ever hanging with Michael, make sure to not get close to a high ledge with him, because he gets urges to push his loved ones.

When you live alone and come back home to a warm toilet seat.

Who else was relieved when the normal Vsauce audio played?

From what I understand and from my own experiences, the creeps is the fear of the unknown. Imagine this: you're in your house alone at night and woke up to have a snack, all of a sudden you hear the door slowly open on its own and you think to yourself: "It's probably just the wind, right?" The thing that makes you scared is the part where you say "right?" Its that there is still a possibility that it ISNT just the wind and that makes you scared, that makes you creeped out.
