Answer 2

Our mother went down the street to see someone and me and my sister was on the back porch in the fort we made. We lived on the second floor in the back. There was a cottage behind the building. All was quiet in the hood, and all the sudden this huge gorilla came walking out the basement of the cottage. Walked all around the yard like it was looking for something , or someone. Me and my sister didn't move. I was so petrafied. A few days later we found out it was Steve, the guy who lived in the cottage... he got a gorilla suit from somewhere. We never talked about that incident, we we're 9yrs old then. I'm 40 now, and do you know I still have nightmares every now and then about that stupid gorilla !!!

Answer 3

Does the fear of imminent death through a heart attack count, so much that instead of phoning for an ambulance you take the 15 min walk to the hospital at 02:00am in the morning and even try to smoke to calm your nerves but can't inhale do to the tightness in your chest, plus the feeling that you're about to drop dead like a stone at any moment.

That scared the hell out of me me but was as I found out a major Asthma attack which gave me the incentive to stop smoking which I've succeeded at for over the last year and a half!!

Answer 4

My bedroom door rattling really fast by itself. It was like someone trying to shake it open and it kept getting faster. I was so scared I couldn't even breathe for about 2 minutes. It went on for about 4 minutes until I screamed "**** off" then it stopped instantly. You could argue it was some sort of vibration in the house coming from a natural source but why would it stop so suddenly when I shouted.
Only people who have witnessed something paranormal will know what I mean when I try to describe the fear. It's like being in a bathtub full of freezing water, your whole body feels super sensitive, every hair on your body stands up and it's pure fear. Even when you know it's irrational you can't stop it.

Answer 5

It was before daylight and I was waiting on the school bus. We lived in the country and there was no light except for moonlight. I heard hoofbeats coming from the distance and knew that there were no horses on our corner and no other kind of livestock. Then I heard big wings flapping and some screeching. It came right up to about 10 feet from where I was and stopped with a loud thud on the ground. I didn't want to see it, I didn't want to wait for it to talk to me, I just wanted to be back at the house so I turned around and ran like crazy and said I got sick waiting for the bus.

Answer 6

I'm a bit of a mountain goat and have lived a most charmed life related to near misses and never falling as I climb mountains. But, one evening while visiting a neighbor who lived in a third story apartment with a balcony that did not have a railing, I almost killed myself. My cat came over, too, and promptly went out on the steeply sloping roof off the balcony. I kept an eye on her as she just perched on the edge looking down at the neighborhood below. But, then, a herd of wild deer came trotting through between the buildings and she went after them, low-crawling like a panther from above along the edge. I suppose, to her, the deer looked like really large rodents or something far below. I dashed out onto the sloping roof and started trying to calmly break her focus on the deer. It went awfully fast. She crawled faster and faster, though, until she sprang. I ALMOST reached her in time but missed. The idiot actually leaped off the roof and landed on a big buck's back. She fell safely the rest of the way to the ground, but, I, on the other hand, had oddly gotten too much of myself off the edge in that desperate swoop to catch her, and I literally hung in the balance. I was going to fall. There was only concrete below. It was horrible. I focused more calmly than I ever have in my life and teetered there in that terrible "either-die-or-not" balance for at least ten seconds . . .and most wisely decided to leap for a gutter, which I did. A few minutes later, ladders, fire department and such, I was safely on the ground. Most traumatizing, those ten seconds of ultimate peril. I still have that stupid cat.

Answer 7

Before I knew how to swim this guy threw me into a pool and I fell to the bottom and I thought my life was over right there but I floated back to the top. There was also anotehr time I was tripping on DXM and it started feeling like I couldn't breathe and I thought I was gonna die or have to admit that I drank cough medicine and go to the hospital. I was fine though, I calmed myself out of it. The scariest time in your life are when you think it's over.

Answer 8

Ha, last year, I broke into our metal shop because I wanted to weld something. I taught myself how. I lost more sweat then ever because I was somewhere I wasn't supposed to be and I was playing with some pretty dangerous gases and electricity. I even caught the broom on fire. Man, good times.

Answer 11

When one of my best friends was hit by a taxi right in front of me. She flew about 30 metres through the air. I was terrified that she was dead. Amazingly she only broke her arm and got a few cuts and bruises, but there were a few heart-stopping moments when i thought that she had died. Oh it was horrible.
