Already Scary #1 – Jumping Spiders
May 9th, 2008 by Jon
Why these things even exist is beyond me. It’s as if an 8 legged insect that could climb walls, spin sticky webs and poison its prey with venom was not enough. They also had to have the ability to jump. This is pretty much one of the scariest things you can experience, ESPECIALLY if you do not know it is a jumping spider when you try to squish or catch it.
Has this ever happened to you? You see a spider in the house and you go to hit it and it jumps out of the way! Not only that, it jumps out of the way towards you! Now you don’t know where it is. Is it on you?!? In your hair?!? Down your shirt?!? This is where the flailing and smacking of yourself all over your body begins.
It is scary enough to even see a spider for most, but when you see one of those jumping ones, it takes scary to a whole new level.
I never freaked out about a spider until I came across one of these jumpers. Seeing the spider dodge my incoming blow was a huge shock.
We expect spiders to crawl and spin webs, but these little jumpers are so unnerving because they startle you with the unexpected. I have to agree that I jump back and start brushing my clothes and hair because you can’t always see where they have landed. Yes, very scary!
Wow jumping spiders and clowns …… Are you frigin 8 years old? The only thing on the list remotely scary would probably be . Well it’s a tie cheerleaders and basements. Not all just a few old school homes that have history…..Ya never know what might have happened hundreds of years ago . I mean how many bodies are buried in the walls? Thats to me is scary.
