When were you last really scared?We'd been watching the Shining. We were staying in an old church building. In hindsight, taking the shortcut home after midnight, in the mist, through the old graveyard was a bad idea.
I'm not sure what started it, but suddenly all the hairs on my neck had gone up and I was crapping myself. It was almost as bad as when, after a few cups of coffee too many and buzzing on caffeine, I got freaked out by my own reflection in the toilets.

slippy ice.The back exit from my office goes via a sloped roadway that turns a corner down to a main road. This being Norway it can get very slippy.
One evening I was on my way out of there and started to slide on the ice. I was completely out of control and was obviously just going to keep sliding until I got to the bottom of the slope.
Unfortunately, at that moment a big lorry sped into the driveway, equally out of control. For a few seconds my life flashed before me as I slowly slid toward its rapidly approaching radiator. Fortunately, it drove past me and missed my by inches.
