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?

While we're being audio-random....
If you know Tracy Chapman's first (and only decent album), you'll know it's an easy listener - nice, relaxing and chilling.
I usually listen to it on my iPod* at high volume as it's an album that you can do.
Anyhoo - The first time I listened to it on my iPod, it's midnight, I'm half asleep it gets to whatever was third on that playlist and a minute or so in, there's an almighty **CRACK!!** - I lept to the ceiling and stayed a while, heart thumping like mad.
Turns out the CD didn't rip/burn properly and there is indeed, a jump/crack in that one track - it still catches me out now.
Makes me jump in the air like a little frightened girl. Tragic!
Size - ha ha ;-)
* Other MP3 players are available :-)
