Announcing the winners of my 'Creepy AF gif' contest!

It is always fun to host each and every edition of the creepy gif contest and as it's time to announce the results, I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the participation from all the lovely steemians belonging to different parts of the world. It is a great joy to get to discover the tastes that people have in horror by means of this contest, and I'm happy that the imaginative contestants are able to find me some of the weirdest, grossest, scariest gif and explain why it creeped them out.

It excites me each time to see so many unique entries for every edition of my contest, and I got to see some additional entries after putting out the reminder post too! However as always, some few entries didn't follow all the rules (they had to let me know why the gif creeped them out).

Like each time, it becomes difficult to choose the winners from all the great entries, but the top 3 in no particular order (with their winning comments and gifs) are as follows:

Hey buddy Hive account@jznsamuel, I was already looking forward to participate again, today I will tell you a story based on an urban legend that exists in my country called
"La sayona" The story is the following:
My mother used to tell me that I had to be careful on the road every weekend, not so much because of the dangers at the wheel, but because of the ghostly phenomena that plagued the city during that time. Venezuela's highways are characterized by being lonely at night.
I remember it was Friday and I had quarreled with my wife, I used to celebrate a lot, that was one of the reasons why we were arguing, but I did not pay attention and I went from there to a bar. After many drinks, it was very late and it was time to leave, maybe I would meet any friend or woman along the way and I would have a good time.
I got into my car and undertook my trip without a fixed direction. After many miles, I entered the regional highway, almost no cars and that was normal for me, at least until a slender figure appeared in my field of vision. In the distance I could only see a woman in a dress, although in reality it looked like a tunic, something in me told me not to stop, to step on the accelerator and get out of there, but I did not, I was drunk and wanted to have fun.
I stopped right in front of the girl, she was beautiful, very long hair, a little below the waist, white complexion, red and fleshy lips and a totally slender body that could be seen through the dress. It was impossible not to be attracted to her, I lowered the passenger window and asked her where she was going, she did not answer me, she just got into the car and looked me in the eye. As an instinct, I took off my wedding ring and she started to kiss me. We were like this for a few minutes until I started "undressing" it was there when I knew something was wrong.
He took off one dress and another appeared and another. I looked to see what was happening and terror invaded my face. The beautiful woman had disappeared and now she had something horrible in front of me. His face was full of wrinkles and spots, his eyes were red as blood, with fangs just as red, full of my blood. I tried to get out of the car and her long nails hit my face and chest until her fingers closed on my neck. His horrible laughter filled my ears and the rotten smell remained etched. I do not know when it disappeared, but I could see it in every corner, even behind me.
When I arrived at my house I could not sleep because I felt close to her, I even felt her smell and heard her laughter in every corner of my home, it was driving me crazy. My mother had warned me and I did not pay attention, I became one of his victims, marked for life, attacked by La sayona

Hello friend Hive account@jznsamuel, I want to share a story that makes me very scared. I have always been a bit afraid to get into the bathtub with the house alone, my story is called the bathroom:
That night I could not sleep in my room, I was sure it was full of bugs, cockroaches, spiders, flies, mosquitoes and mice.
Better to sleep on the sofa with a blanket although it was uncomfortable, I felt a bit of comfort in sleeping in that spartan way, it was nothing more than a self-punishment that soothed my soul and let me get into my dreams.
I was suddenly awakened by a noise, rhythmic noise, glub, glub, glub, drops of water. Are there leaks in the roof? I turned on the light and saw no, there everything was normal. No, it was not raining any more, the night was totally quiet, silent, then I realized that they were drops of water that could be heard in the bathroom.
Anyone there? Ask with a little credible voice. After saying it I felt a little silly. There is no one, there can not be anyone, I am alone at home. Nobody is going to return. I got up to turn off the tap so he would stop bothering me. I went into the bathroom and turned on the light, I saw that all my clothes were lying in the bathtub and I had left it hanging on the hanger. I was all wet, everything had turned a single color, red as blood, seeing that I ran out of the bathroom and the door closed, I felt that an evil force threw me into the bathtub and as I could try to leave, but I started to feel that it burned and disintegrated my whole body I started screaming and everything was in vain I could just get out of the bathtub to watch my body bleed to death on the bathroom floor

Great fear in me is infused with horror films about maniacs (serial killers). Such a plot is quite real and it becomes frightening. The most dangerous people do not stand out from the crowd, you will never think that this person is capable of terrible deeds. Documentary films tell us that usually even the parents or spouses of murderers do not know about their "secret" life. It's terrible to imagine what our colleagues or a saleswoman from a nearby supermarket are capable of. :) But if you think about this, you can earn paranoia !;)
