Why Do People Get the 'Goosebumps' Feeling?

Goosebumps happen when your skin gets all bumpy and raised, like little bumps. It’s like your body is trying to say, 'Hey, I feel something special!' You might get them when you're scared or excited. Your hair stands up a bit too, which makes the whole thing even cooler.
