I wasn't afraid of the silly people going around frightening people, but I was afraid of being stabbed. I would be on line and I would wince everytime someone got too close to behind me on those crowded long lines. Then I would see people bungie jumping and it would scare the mess out of me too. I was thinking that they would die and so would I from being stabbed. What is this? Am I suffering from paranoia???

Well, maybe you are not afraid of the fake stuff but are afraid of real life things. Like you know the people in the haunted houses are not really going to hurt you but what do you really know about that guy in line behind you. Sounds like you were just a little freaked out by the scary situation, just got freaked out by something other than what you paid for ♥

It sounds like there is some repressed fear of being hurt or fear of dieing! I am wondering if you might have had a loved one die in a violent way or unexpected timing. These events can trigger fears in our subconscious. Paranoia is nothing more than fear that controls a persons life, It sounds like you have a fear that is rooted in a specific way to dieing or being hurt unexpectedly. If you had a true "Paranoia" you would not go to things like fright nights but I would suggest you think about your experiences with death and/or experiences with being hurt you might find the source of this fear... If it bothers you enough find a good therapist and let them help you...Good luck

yes...fright fest is only frightening, not killing!
I think the bungee jumpers are nuts, but if it is their turn, then it is their turn!
