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.

Kids, wife and dogOne of the most scary things i've been through? Hearing the screech of a car and a thump from outside my door when my 2 year old and 5 year old were outside playing. Turns out a neighbours daughter had been hit and suffered a broken leg which was bad enough.
I came home one day to find an empty house, a broken window and blood all over the floor and walls. Wifey had put her hand through the glass and slashed her wrist badly enough to be rushed to hospital.
Last one for now. Walking my dog down a particulary dark (ie pitch black) supposedly haunted walkway under a railway at god knows what o'clock only for said dog to stop dead, hairs rising on his back, and give a very deep, very vicious growl at the darkest part of the walkway. Would he come back to me - no. Would I go anywhere near the dark place - no. Had the most pantwettingly awful feeling ever as I slowy backed away back up the walkway calling to my dog.
