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?

Army Boot CampDuring army boot camp in Singapore, we were sent offshore to an island off the coast of the mainland for 4 months to train.
The island, called Pulau Tekong is supposed to be extremely haunted and is a local legend for hauntings of all sorts.
My bed in the 13 men bunk was right next to the window, so the tropical jungle was directly to my left. Needless to say, i always slept facing away from the window.
One particular night, i was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep when i heard this blood curdling cough. It was coming from the left side of me. The cough seemed to go on and on forever, worsening until it became a really sore hoarse roar like sound. You cannot even start to imagine the fear that shot through me. Going into a fetal position under the thin blanket, i stayed under it for the whole night, sweating and praying.
There were other happenings during those 4 months. Dog tag clinking sounds with no wind, screams at night, sighting of female figures etc. But nothing could beat that first experience.
