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?

The day after my sister passed her driving test......and she decided she was going to drive me to college.
I shall never forget that morning in which I realised that free of her L-Plates, she had inherited her mother's lead boots.
I still wake in a cold sweat as I remember her overtaking several cars and a tractor (in a Renault 4!) on a blind bend on a country road, meeting an equally terrified van driver coming the other way. Fortunately, as I screamed blue murder (and she too - her exact words being, I recall "Get out of my way YOU FUUUUUUCK!"), he managed a detour across a field to avoid killing the pair of us to death.
Next day: "No thanks, I'll take the train".
Also: Robbed at gunpoint by AK47-wielding goons, but it's pretty true to say that you are only terrified after the event. For about three years, in my case.
