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.

Alton-Freakin'-TowersDamn. I've been forced to hark back to my Stoke days. And no, I'm not from Stoke and anyone that things otherwise will be met with a sharp slap.
Anyhoo.
My primary school (you know, the evil one with Nuns) was across the valley from Alton Towers so we got a free in once a year. Well, it was akin to escape for us from the evil oppresor evil bitch nuns.
I digress again.
I went on the pirate ship - pretty much on my own, my group had wondered off so I thought I'd go on the Pirate ship on my own. And play with the barrier and hold it up to stop it coming down. And no, not a single part of that is sensible.
Anyway, the pirate ship set off. The barrier was, at least partway down but not so it would hold me in place.
I was fucking terrified - Well I was 9. The thing went on swinging about with me sliding about and totally freaking me out.
I think I cried.
Did I get any sympathy from the teachers (who were nun-affiliates)? No - I got a bollocking and a slapping. A proper slapping at that, not a metaphorical one.
Twunts.
