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?

Flying should have its own categoryIt scares me more than being trapped in a lift with Ann Widdicombe. (Mind you at least I would be the looker...ponders...)
I was flying to Glasgow from Birmingham a couple of years ago from work. Was so scared I had to force myself to leave departure lounge to board coach to plane after they had paged me. Cue very pissed off people standing on coach for ages waiting for me - lots of dagger looks in my direction.
As it was mid winter had impossibly furry coat. Last one on coach - first one off. However had extreme difficulty getting impossibly furry coat, laptop, brief case blah blah into overhead. Cue same people stuck behind me while I wrestle. Cue dagger looks at Siouxfan again.
The we had to sit on tarmac for ages as plane had to be de-iced. I was quietly crying with fear by this point and getting more dagger looks from passengers.
I was scared I was going to die either because the plane was going to ice up at 30,000 feet and plummet to earth or the other passengers were going to kill me for being pathetic, late and irritating.
