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.

Avoid gardens.When I was a wee nipper (around 9) I was helping out my dad in the garden. He was cutting down branches of trees, and I was helping him carry them down the end of the garden so we could have a bonfire with them later. So I start carrying this fairly hefty lump of wood down the garden, when I see a snake. It was a grass snake (although I didn't know it at the time). Terrified, I ran back down the garden, only after about 20 metres did I have the presence of mind to drop the big lump of tree that I was carrying. In hindsight, I probably should have thrown it at the snake.
