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.

oh, and this oneI work in Canary Wharf, so as you can imagine, after 9/11 and the tube bombings, I pretty much say to myself, that 'If i'm meant to go, i'm meant to go'...So i'm walking alont the banks of the Thames, and when I look up, I can see the Canary Wharf Tower, and three or four other sky scrapers of the various banks (Citigroup, HSBC etc...). Now just a wee way away, you have London City Airport. My heart was litrally in my mouth as I saw this plane fly what looked like meters above Canary Wharf Tower, and looked to be heading right in to the HSBC tower. A few seconds went passed, and there was no sound, no crash, no dust, and no collasping buildings. Then i saw the plane emerge the otherside. "They" have recently re-opened the airspace above the tower, and the surrounding area to private planes.
Length?- about 235meters!
