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?

Not supernatural at all.Just about two hours ago: driving home during a bout of sleet and freezing rain, had to go down a local hill with a 20% gradient. There is a pack of cars half way down trying to get up but stuck. I hit my brakes, the anti-lock starts instantly, and the car is not stopping, or even slowing down. Wife and kids in car, starting to freak out. Steered the skidding minivan into the curb to stop it. Then watched, in the rear view mirror, as a car behind me skidded down the hill at us - bracing for impact - other driver got his car turned and skidded by us without hitting. Not super scary as we were all going under 10 mph, but still. I just hate being in car accidents.
