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?

Hammer manIn the alleys near me at university, there was an attack a few years back against a few students by a hammer-wielding psycho who badly injured some people. Although true, this is one of those stories the second-years tell you in Fresher's Week to scare a few people.
I didn't really worry about this, as I'm a big guy and nothing has happened for ages, not to mention the fact that lots of people have to walk down the alleys. Regardless, walking to the union in the first week, I was with some girls who were really scared of the supposed threat posed by the hammer man, including a girl who was so scared she was gripping to my arm. I would have been happy with that if she was fit, but she really, really wasn't. I guess that gave me someone to be scared of, although it was not the hammer man!
