WHEN YOU THINK about it, the vast majority of us have a handful of things from our childhood that absolutely traumatised us.
And the thing about these particular memories is that despite reaching adulthood, we still get a sense of foreboding when we reflect on them.
We haven’t yet reached the stage where we can laugh at them because, well, frankly they were terrifying in their own weird way.
Twitter is talking creepy music videos, unsettling children’s cartoons and random advertisements that left us feeling quietly disturbed.
How many of the following left you petrified?

People are sharing their top 5 childhood traumas, and we're getting godawful flashbacks
WHEN YOU THINK about it, the vast majority of us have a handful of things from our childhood that absolutely traumatised us.
And the thing about these particular memories is that despite reaching adulthood, we still get a sense of foreboding when we reflect on them.
We haven’t yet reached the stage where we can laugh at them because, well, frankly they were terrifying in their own weird way.
Twitter is talking creepy music videos, unsettling children’s cartoons and random advertisements that left us feeling quietly disturbed.
How many of the following left you petrified?
1. We’re with him on number 4.
2. Yep, number 1 got us too.
3. Are You Afraid of the Dark was properly traumatic.
4. Number 3 will never leave us.
5. Yep, the Bermuda Triangle got all of us.
6. Firestarter was unholy.
7. Edward’s gaf was a nightmare, to be fair.
8. Say no more.
