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?

I was scared of various things as a childand one of them was being killed by people that hide under beds.
I used to watch television in my parents room in the evening because they refused to watch The Simpsons on the one in the lounge.
One day I was watching and minding my own business when the bed began shaking violently.
When it stopped I sat perfectly still and was totally silent for about four minutes before running to tell someone. Mother refused to accept it and said I must have shaken the bed myself. I couldn't sleep for days afterwards for fear that the killer in mum and dad's bedroom had slit their throats and was about to cut me into tiny pieces.
About a week later I learned the reason for the shaking was because of an earth tremor that had taken place, thus proving me right to some extent.
