This is a question 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.

When were you last really scared?

This is a QotW answer Bored ghosts? Faulty pipes? The world may never know.
So as I lay in bed, I hear the resounding "SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH", what sounds like running water. At first I think it's my parents.

I then remember that they are both asleep.

I then assumed I was hearing things, and tried to ignore it.

It didn't stop.

I ran downstairs in the pitch black, turned all the taps off, and ran back to bed.

They turned on again.

I screamed and pulled the covers over my head. I can assume I eventually fell asleep. Either way, it was terrifying.
