Some people do and some people don't, but the reality is you can't prove they don't exist and you can't prove they do exist. <br /> <br />Yesterday, I was watching a movie called “The other side of the door” which wasn't very good, but in one scene my entire body got covered in goosebumps, really badly. <br /> <br />It was the scene when you knew something really creepy and bad was about to happen. So why do we get goosebumps? <br /> <br />Beneath the outer layer of the skin we have very tiny muscles known as arrector pili. <br /> <br />When you are cold they will decrease in size making the skin around them seem bigger. The word goosebumps comes from how a bird looks when its feathers have been plucked. <br /> <br />Ever notice that a cat's hair seems to stand up when they feel threatened. Yep, it is due to goosebumps. <br /> <br />It's almost like when you see a mountain lion hiking, you want to appear as big as possible so you will be left alone. Having your hair stick out a little might make you appear bigger and thus it's a survival mechanism. <br /> <br />If you are cold having your hair stick out a little might keep you a little warmer. So you can see how it can help, but since we don't have hair it doesn't really serve any purpose or does it? <br /> <br />Do you believe in intuition? Just like that scary movie I knew something bad was going to happen and goosebumps are another way that my intuition was talking to me saying “get the hell out of here.” <br /> <br />Have you ever wondered if you could control goosebumps and how to do that? <br /> <br />It turns out that some people just with their mind can give themselves goosebumps, almost like telling their body to walk. Then they can remove the goosebumps on will. Apart from a cool party trick I don't really think there is much of a use to doing it. <br /> <br />So how do you do it? Apart from watching a scary movie and sticking your hand in the freezer I unfortunately don't know. I've been searching for methods to do it with my mind and found a few answers. Then I try the techniques and they don't work for me. <br /> <br />If you know a cool trick for giving yourself goosebumps please share in the comments section below.
