Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

I never had any fear or anything "getting me" when I went up the basement stairs... so no, I don't run unless I'm just running for the heck of it... Perhaps because we had a finished basement?

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

I said other, b/c I don't have basement stairs. But I never ran up them when at my mom's house. I didn't live in a house with a basement until I was 15.

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

yes...the basement in my dad's house still freaks me out

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

At my old house yes. But, here no.

Could also have to do with me being to old to run up the damn stairs.

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

no.... not since I was little

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

I do too, unless I know DH is coming up behind me then I know he will protect me. He always laughs at me though! I am happy to know I"m not the only dork !

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

I don't run up my stairs.....but if the lights get turned off when i'm down there. I freak out!


My husband has done it a few time to me as a joke......He doesn't do that anymore

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

i run up

and if my brother and sister are over - they like to lock me down there until i am a crying screaming mess - they think it is hysterical

I am 24 and they are almost 40!

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

Not now because I have a finished basement and that is the best part of the house!
When we were little I always did!
Our basement was very scarey!

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

This is so funny! Not at my house, but at my parents. Maybe because it used to scare the bejesus out of me when I was little.

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

i used to live in the basement. it took a while but i got used to it. now cave crickets have inhabited the basement so i run up and down or go down with someone.

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

LOL no but I always did at home in my parents house

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

I walk up my stairs 99.9% of the time. My basement isn't a typical dark storage space. It is a carpeted living area with a play room and a laundry room on the other side.

THE EXCEPTION... is when it is dark and late at night and everyone is asleep. I kind of get creeped out being downstairs alone. ESPECIALLY when there is a thunderstorm!

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

I will forever think I am being followed We need to add a scared icon

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

I don't have a basement in my apartment but I used to run upstairs all the time in my parents house. I also never went to the basement at night. If there was something I needed I made my sister go or waited till morning.

I also have to have my bed up against the wall in my bedroom because I refuse to sleep on the side of the bed where my legs or arms might hang off.

Im such a chicken

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

I do the same thing whenever I got to my Grandmother's house. I Run Up the stairs. I have been doing that since I was a little girl. I will be 30 next April
You never know who is down there & who will Grab At your Legs

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

That is a GREAT random question!!!! Brings back tons of memories of me running up the steps!

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

I thought I was the only one!!! Actually, I have had this conversation with some of my friends, and they do the same thing. I have since I was little and I don't see myself changing anytime soon......I have always pictured the 'boogeyman' reaching from under the stairs and grabbing my ankles.....

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

Uh, absolutely I run up those stairs!

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

well my "Basement" is above ground, so it's not as bad (hi ranch) but I still have those moments of "Who's over there"
especially when im on LIF at 1am and read a post about rachel seeing ghosts at her job

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

I live in an apartment right now...so no basement, but anytime I'm at my mom's I STILL have to run up the basement stairs. You never know what's chasing you!

I still worry about what's under my bed, too.

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

We have a finished basement, so we practically live in the basement. However, when DH is traveling for work, I tend to keep the door closed and watch TV in the Den instead. It creeps me out to be there by myself.

Re: Do you run up your basement stairs?

Heck yeah! It is a family joke that at 34 I am still afraid of basements
My BFF came over on Saturday night and we played pool in my basement. None of my family could believe that I offered to go down there. EVERY light had to be on! I have a finished basement so it isn't too scary when I am with someone else
