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?

It was the hour just before dawnAnd a grey light pervaded the room. No colours, just tones. And then I noticed something wasn't right. I began to get a feeling that something that the word malevolent doesn't even cover was there in the room with me, and it was coming towards me. Then, to make matters worse, I was paralysed. Struck dumn. Couldn't move a muscle. All I was aware of was the fact that this extremely wizened pair of hands with really bad nails was coming towards me. Whatever it was, it wanted me. And as I result I was shit scared. I couldn't do a thing, not even scream for help. And I was forced to lay there, as this pair of hands connected to whatever evil in the corner of the room was coming towards me. And then, it was as though a bright light shone into the room. Brighter than the first rays of a sunrise, in fact. All of a sudden, whatever it was that was after me was gone, and I could move. I was left shivering for a very very long time out of sheer fear. I later found out it's something called a sleep paralysis. Not a very pleasant experience by means.
