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 boxing day storm of 1998I was on night shift in the control tower at Glasgow Airport. Seeing the roof of the fire section hanger opposite me collapse and then minutes later hearing an ominous thumping noise from the shaking building I was in did actually scare me.
The thumping was being caused by a 6 foot square section of the floor below me being ripped apart by the winds.
I did survive the shift intact though.
But was later given a bollocking for "Not ensuring that all the met equipment in our enclosure outside was safe."
