My previous post explains everything.

How in the hell is this possible? A video never frightened me, but this did!

Don't write that! Or the next game from FG will be one big climbing simulator!

The past cannot be changed...

Easy, Sympathetic Psychosematic Reaction and Auto-suggestion . The Brain convinces itself, via Auto Suggestion, that you are on the tower, as its first person video (wich triggers the auto suggestion), resulting in a massive rush of the brain chemicals that cause fear, at such a level it causes a neural paralysis similar to what you would get if you were actually on that tower. the brain is a very powerfull peice of kit. it really can put you on your backside.

Well, everything's clearer a bit, but I would fall if I would be there, screaming a trillion times a second!

so would i, Vertigo would kick in, resulting in a loss of limb controll. not a nice way to go. id never go up there though, hell, i dont even like Stairs.

That reminds me, i am Terrified of GAPS! such as open backed stairs, the gap between a train and a platform, the gaps between boards in piers.. i get totally disorienated and think im going to fall through.

My kind of fear. It's on my long list of precupious fears.

When I was first shown that video, I was in awe.
Everybody who has seen it goes "nopenopenopenope".
I feel like I may be the only one who wants to go do that.

My only ones are being abandoned and being stuck in small spaces (no not fucking claustrophobia, I'm find with going into small areas... It's just getting STUCK in one that I hate). I've had the whole abandonment thing for ages, most of the time I can push it down but say I'm home alone and my family told me they'd be back at 6 and it's 8... NOPE. Seriously. I kind of lose all control and go into a panic. Same thing with getting stuck in small spaces, I actually won't lock a door unless I know the lock's reliable (yes that includes bathroom doors, sue me).
