I don't know, I'm on the fence about it. I mean, sure, after effects and stuff can make these things seem real but just the way it moves around... I don't know. It's pretty eerie.

Opened the pic, looking for a ghost... realized that this was posted in r/gifs, and not r/pics, and noped so hard.

Please tell me if it's scary or not

By my life, it's just the blue pacman ghost that runs along the screen. But I stopped it right there just in case there was a double whammy and something popped up.

I must help my fellow internet goers... its a spoof of scary gifs. Instad of a spooky shost, or a "real" ghost, its the ghost from the game pac-man, the one that tries to eat pac-man (obviously..) anyways he goes across the bottom of the screen, from right to left. Then turns around and goes upward, while becoming more opaque (or i sit less..shit..) Nothing scary here, other things claiming scariness are trolling!

[–]chanseyy 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Don't worry guys, it's only scary if you're a yellow being made of two half circles.

[–]vishra85 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

First I clicked, saw it was a gif, and closed it immediately. Then the comments made me click it again. Totally worth it.

I actually was walking next to a cemetery fence for about 2-3 minutes close to midnight today. I kept looking over the fence thinking I would see some thing strange. I didn't.

But had I actually seen something unusual, I would have definitely freaked the fuck out.

See, now the genius thing to do would be to make this gif up to the point that the little Pac-Man ghost comes out.

Leave it go for like 8 seconds lulling the person into a false sense of security.

THEN you do the screamer thing and soil untold scores of britches.
