Take heart though, you’re certainly not alone as shown by the hilarious pics below of folks getting unintentionally frightened by something that turned out to be totally harmless and innocent. Clearly, we’ve all been watching too many horror movies. But who doesn't enjoy a little thrill?  So go ahead. Scroll if you dare. But best beware, for danger is in the air.
