There is some airbase in the desert. Some pilot was standing on this ladder leading up to his jet fighter, and he would look at me, give me the thumbs up, and smile.
Yeah, thats it.
It wasn't scary in itself, but it was giving off... wrongness. Like, everything about it was wrong in some way, or that it was something horrible that shouldn't exist. It's a way worse unpleasentness for me than traditional fear is.
But the catch was I would see this short scene looping whenever I closed my eyes that night. I woke up around midnight with this image in my head, and it wouldn't stop until I fell asleep out of exhasution at 4:30. I was literally rolling around my bed begging for it to stop, but it wouldn't. That was the only night in my life that I was afraid to close my eyes. :(
