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.

Toilet-time fears...As a kiddy I was terrified of going to the crapper by myself, for two reasons.
1) As a toddler I was sure I saw a ghost when I went to the loo at my dear old Nana's.
2) As a Primary-school-lad I read a book in which there was a monster called 'the glumper' which had barbed tentacles and lived in the sea. Somehow this was translated in my mind to the loo. I was sure glumper would extend a tentacle up the U-bend and drag me, arse first into the bowels of the sewerage system.
I can, I am pleased to report, generally go to the Bog by myself, nowadays.
