I do not have any kind of recollection of that and since I can't see my history that far back I'm just going to say that if I ever came across like that, it was never intended to be badass, if anything it was meant to be humorous. My apologies for giving off that kind of vibe at any point and time. Again I don't remember ever doing something like that because it's not remotely in my nature.
I have a long memory, part of why I have a history degree...
I don't have a damn thing against Gil.
It is more that I stick to my comments attitude.

See, THAT would scare the piss out of me.
Maybe people are afraid of or react differently to different stimuli. You're a jumpy type, so you react to sudden loud noises. For me, a slowly worsening situation is a nightmare, like those rising water levels. I don't startle easily, as my siblings discovered when they used to sneak up on me. Maybe I got numb after years where evenings of peaceful silence were suddenly broken by my mom bursting into my room screaming at the top of her lungs. I can only guess that that type of thing would have an effect.
Aren't parents grand?
Okay, that might explain why that one woman charged the girl in the hall even though she was just standing there, not screaming or anything, but I don't understand why. Anyone care to explain?
For the elevator, as soon as the lights flickered I would be looking at what firm was responsible for it's maintenance. When the lights went out and no emergency lights came on, I would be angry with the maintenance firm. When the little girl first appeared I would still be angry, so most likely I would react in anger.

I'd probably freak out and scream. I consider myself a rational man, but some things just freak the living crap out of me.
Also, I don't remember what my first month of posting was like. Anyone remember?

I remember you very politely PMing me to see if you had inadvertently done something to offend me. It made me loathe you even more.I'd probably freak out and scream. I consider myself a rational man, but some things just freak the living crap out of me.

Now I know better. I loathe you too, Mr Ewok. Though I do love reading your political rants with some popcorn. Most entertaining.

Only read half of the first page, but I bust out laughing the first time she screamed at the woman. That was brilliant.
That being said, no idea how I'd react. The elevator would put me at ease, the girl would have made me go "Oh god." and the scream would have startled the shit out of me. Not the literal shit, though.
I'm not superstitious and generally don't freak out, even when people try to startle me from behind, I barely react, but yes, this is well done and would make me go o_____________o

This actually reminds me of an old campfire story I once heard...
In the olden times it was customary for the newly dead to be moved from their house to the sauna for the night before the burial, with someone to watch over the corpse for the night. In one village, one of the old folks had died, and his corpse was carried to the sauna, and the local tailor - a small, bespectacled mouse of a man - was asked to watch over him for the night. Some of the young men of the village decided to play a prank upon the tailor, and before the night fell they switched the old man's shrouded corpse for a volunteer who wrapped himself in similar shrouds and waited.
In time, the tailor showed up and sat down in the corner next to the firewood. He picked up some of his work, a needle and thread, and started working. The young man in the funeral shrouds waited, trying his best to stay completely still and silent as time dragged on. The only light in the sauna was the flickering light of the candle, the only sound the tailor's work as he worked. In the dead of the night, when all else was quiet and the hour of midnight approached, the young man decided it was time. Slowly he began to get up, moaning and reaching up from the casket as he sat up, thinking to scare the tailor out of his wits.
But the mousy little tailor looked up, picked up a heavy piece of firewood and hit the young man hard on the head. "The dead aren't supposed to peek!" the tailor yelled as the young man, still covered in shrouds from head to toe, fell back into the casket.
The next morning, the young men found the tailor still working in the sauna - and their friend, lying dead in the casket, his skull cracked.

All I could think the whole time was: Wow those sounds are stupid.
Oh, and:
STOP SHOWING THE SET-UP EVERY TIME[DOUBLEPOST=1354749767][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh and re-showing the jump scare 4 times is stupid too.
...I'm grumpy today.
Not to be all internet badass and shit, but the fetal position screaming is just bizarre in that second one.
I feel like the whole thing has got to be fake, because I can't imagine the second one being even remotely scary, just startling in that first few seconds.
At least the first one did the whole, lights flickering on a off and creepy girl appearing out of nowhere thing.

Like I said, Latin and South American cultures have a very different view on the dead than most of the first world.
They must have the smoothest elevators in Brazil, because nobody notices that they weren't moving while the numbers scrolled.
I'm guessing they used something similar to those 'stationary but it feels like you're moving' attractions in theme parks..
