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.

Seance...Last halloween I organised a seance for some of my friends and family, replete with the bone chilling tale of a one eyed mutilated ghost appearing nightly in the spare room, whose dark soul we would try to contact.
Being a professional magician means that my seance was not a let down, there was plenty of ghost in there, and not to put too fine a point on it, it shit them up good and proper.
What was concerning though was the week before I was lying in bed in the dark working out a script when I suddenly and completely got the heeby jeebies. The black open door to my cupboard seemed to loom, and I began to visualise... how would I feel if I saw movement, or the one green eye staring out at me? Before I knew it, my heart was going ten to the dozen and I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my body...
Of course my cupboard contains only jackets and dresses (not mine you understand), but having felt that fear gave me something to work with when I related the tale of the ghost to the party. By the time I told the story I could deliver it with shaking hands and barely restrained tears of distress. It was quality, they totally believed it!
I love abusing my powers! Good times!
