What are some times you've got the crap scared out of you?

I've got another one, a few months ago, i was sleeping, my room is in the basement, and right over my bed is my room's window, i'm trying to get to sleep and then i hear some banging against the window, so i try to ignore it (thinking it was an animal or something) and then theres a flash on my wall, it looked like a flashlight, so i thought someone was trying to break into my house, so, i open the droor of my bed-side table and take out a small Co2 tank and a clip and my B.B. gun pistol (this thing looks insanely like a real gun, it's metal), load the Co2 in, put the clip in, cock the gun, get out of bed aim it at the window, and 2 guys start running away, i think they were trying to break into my house, and am i ever lucky that gun looks real!

Now, when you say "guys" do you mean grown men? Or just teens. They were probably just fooling around, breaking in sounds highly unrealistic. Why would they tap against the window and stuff? Probably just trying to annoy you, you know like a prank. Ring the doorbell and run. Like that.
 
First time I played Silent Hill 1. I was looking for a RE type game to rent..then I saw silent hill. (I had just gotten my playstation and I wanted to see more of the CG scenes in the games so I tried silent hill.) I tried it and I made it ok the elementray school..but that all changed. The good school (dark and creepy) was really scary and I had seen nothing like it in any other game. When I got to the evil school (Blood everywhere, body parts and little grey children with knives running at you), I lasted 2 minutes then I shut the game off and said "ok, that's enough". My nervers were stretched to the brinking point and had to stop.
 
I bent down to pick up some garbage, and a freaking huge, hairy spider comes out of my shirt, I pick it up, not noticing it was a spider, and being ignorant of the fact it dropped from inside my shirt. I squished it, and dropped it. That scared the living hell out of me. (Yes, I am scared of spiders.)

No, these were 2 grown men, they looked dirty and scuzzy, so i think they were either hobos or crackheads, becuz theres a rundown old building down the road from my house and people live in there, and i don't think they were purposely tapping on the window, i think that they were probably just clumsy, i mean if you were a crackhead or a hobo would you be quick and agile like a freakin ninja?

When I nearly drowned in the ocean because dad thought the best way to teach me swimming was to chuck me in the water and watch me fight for survival. COME ON SON, IT BUILDS CHARACTER.
.

heheh my dad did the same to my older brother but it was in a swimming pool ...he had to jump in after him fully clothed when my brother failed to surface
 
Woke up in the middle of the night once and in the pitch black i could make out a figure right next to my bed just standing there staring at me. Turns out it was my brother sleepwalking, which kinda makes it even scarier.
 
I was putting the recyclable rubbish out on Thursday night. I lifted up one of the tubs and something plopped down on to my foot. I thought it was a turd but I looked down and it jumped away. I screamed and then a turd promptly appeared in my trousers because I was so scared, but it only turned out to be a frog that had landed on my foot.

About 10 minutes later, I was taking the wheely-bin down our side entry-way, when I opened the gate and saw this thing sitting there. Scared the life out of me and I screamed; it turned out to be a cat.

Just scared the life out of me, twice.
 
one time i was at a small lan party with 2 of my mates. one had fallen asleep and we had those lights that you choose the dimness of. the door was slightly open and we had just finished watching a sh*t scary movie. the cat quickly passed by the door and all we saw was a blur. we almost shat ourselves. my friend goes "shit what was that" and we were kind of shivering. fortunatly we have laptops so we booted up my mates (he had a bright desktop) and using that light i walked/creeped/ran over to the dimmer and full-bulled it. we were safe. we later found out it was the hosts cat sooty

[SARCASM]the cat is now true to its name. yay for the fireplace[/SARCASM]
 
I was ill one day, feverish, quite delerious, and was trying to wake myself up, so I whacked on some RATM really loud (I mean really loud - I have a home studio setup with around 150W Av.) then proceeded to fire up the internet. I go to one of those 'what's wrong with this room' links without turning the sound down, having no idea what would happen. Scary face pops up with 150watts of inhuman screaming.

One of only two times in my life when I've been unable to stop yelling
 
I can't remember anything in particular except the time I was playing NOLF 2 at the research lab. I was scared like hell. :O

LOL, he did it, like, on his own, or someone helped him in the fireplace?
 
I was out doing some stuff in the backyard and I felt something tickling at my arm, so I raised it up to eye level and I see the ugliest spider in the world. I'm not a spider person so.. Needless to say...

:eek:

Too many moments like that for me to count.

Ah yes...one of those 'screamer' vids. Those never fail to startle me. >_>
 
"What's wrong with this room" + my jumpy girlfriend = evil fun.

Although, I can't say that I'm immune to them. I know to watch out for them, but when they're disguised as flash games, I can easily fall for them. I love doing it to people who don't know much about computers.
 
When a ghost of a dead woman suddeny appeared on my computer screeen, covered in blood.

It was taken care of.
 
when my dog starts barking at someihng, lik e the corner of the living room and no one else is home, that makes me freak,

and i sometimes get these liek wispy shadows int he corner of my eye but when i move to look at them they dissappear. they feel like they are touching my skin


:eek:
 
I can remember a thread identical to this a while ago. I think the scariest story I heard was somebody who woke up in the morning (alone in his house while it was raining) and went downstairs to make breakfast. When he got back to his room there were hundreds of burned matches scattered around. I can't find the thread but it sounded insanely scarey.

NEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:hmph:
 
I don't scare well, infact I find most scary films quite boring. it would have to be playing Silent Hill 2 while listening to REM.
 
A few odd experiances in haunted houses, but nothing so far thats scared the shit out of me, mostly stuff that just makes me go, blarg!. for a second, like a few moments in F.E.A.R, and other times that just make your hairs stand on end.
 
I was layed in bead and was awoaken to the sound of the bathroom window clunking,
then the bathroom door opened, and I heard footsteps, coming up to my bedroom door. By this time I went all hot, and started sweating and didnt dare move. The footsteps came to my bedroom door and stopped. I was in a bunkbed on the top, looking away from the door, so the door was behind me.

I then heard the door slowly open, I was well scared, I didnt dareturn around to see what had opend the door, I just lay their pertrified.

I heard nothing else, and can't remeber at what oint I went asleep. Turns out the next morning it was my dad checking up on me after going to the toilet.(I was 10 then), but I was really terrified.
 
A couple days ago, I was looking at spikedhumor.com and came across this flash about subliminol messages. The first two were about sexual images hidden into some products or pictures. (Nothing explicit). Then the first one was about some song played backwards, you could hear the Lords prayer. I must've been tired, because I didn't catch on. I turned it up, listening to the words, reading them as they're on the screen. Then on about the 4th or 5th line, I realize that something is going to scare me. Then literally less than a second after I think about it, it screams at me. My hands went up to the side of my head, and I tried to cover my ears, but they just kept moving around my head. Afterwards, I laughed at myself for probably looking like a fool.

Haha...
Oh god, the memories of teen slasher flicks as a small child...
Thought Krueger was under my bed, and Voorhees was in my very roomy closet.
:D

Oh and thanks for resurrecting my thread, Dog. :upstare:
 
When i was young (about 10 i think) I watched Silence of teh lambs which is pretty freaky at teh end with the nightvision goggles and stuff, and when I went to my bed with the lights out in my room so it was pitch dark, i was sure that i could hear teh hum of the goggles moving about and i was sure that i could see teh outline of a man sitting on my desk in teh corner of the room, was really scary at the time, quite funny when i look back on it.
 
Please don't double post, Dog. If you have something else to say, edit your original post.

It was. I hate matches now.

SHIPPI's new avatar scares me. And the new FEAR demo.
 
Angry Laywer, seen as though I don't belive in ghosts, I would be drawn to the conclusion that there was a psyco living in my house, that would be even more scairier.

My house is too small to fit a psycho in. I'm undecided on the existance of ghosts - it's more of a "keep an open mind" for me.

Still gives me shivers thinking about it, though. And makes a great conversation topic with women, for some reason.

I think everyones really intrested in that sort of stuff.

So how did the matches get into your room - thats freaky. Ever have any further experiences or ideas about what hapopened.
