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.

Long time ago, when I was about 11...I had a pretty big fear of the paranormal, after reading a few too many ghost books. While at home alone, my sister having gone to her mate's, I was sitting in the living room, I heard a distict cough from upstairs. Aagh, it's a ghost, it's a ghost!!!!!! I panicked and ran outside to stand in the front garden, wondering if I could find my way to my sister's mate's house, though I'd never been to it before, or even knew where it was. Then I noticed the neighbours dog wandering around. 'I know, that'll protect me' I thought, and proceeded to try and coax the dog inside. Didn't work, so I bit the bullet and went back inside to face my fate. And there I saw her...
My sister. She hadn't gone to her mates at all, never even left the house. I don't even know why I thought she had. She was sitting in the living room, wondering what the hell I was doing outside.
Looking back on it, I'm not sure what a coughing ghost could have actually done to me.
Looking back even further, I'm not sure what use the neighbours Jack Russel would have done to a ghost...
