anachomire
noun
The unsettling sensation that arises from encountering media with subtle anomalies, prompting an instinctive vigilance, as you hurriedly glance around dark rooms, searching for intangible threats that seem to linger just beyond sight, despite the absence of overt horror.
From Greek 'anachoke' (choke) + Latin 'mirari' (to wonder), suggesting a state of being suffocated by unsettling wonder. Pronounced "ah-NAH-ko-meer"
