Not the scariest thing ever but I was alone in the house. I was siting in the bath tub texting my bf. He was in town and was trying get me to come out and join them. Told him I'd be in in about an hour.

I'm sitting there texting away when the bathroom door slams open and a man jumped into the bathroom. I couldn't scream cause I sucked in too much air. Took me a few second to realize it was my bf (he'd been on his way home the whole time he was texting me.)

Definatly had a few scary expieriences myself. Was driving home from the girlfriends house a few years ago and was fairly tired probably shouldn't have been driving in fairness. Road curved to the right as I took my eyes off the road for a second, when I looked up the car had clipped the curb which send me up in the air heading straight for a safety railings with a massive tree behind it. I just remember that few seconds coming down that felt like a lot longer and just thinking "This is it" and the one thing I hoped was that the crash killed me because i didn't want to spend my life in a wheelchair or worst. Car came down and I pulled the handbrake beforehand hoping if I did that and span the wheel I MIGHT have a chance of avoiding the tree, car landed on all 4 wheels thank god, air bag went off and protected my face and chest then the car pulled to the right and the back end skidded through the railings and slammed against the tree. Remember the complete silence after that just sitting there checking that I'm still in one piece somehow I was just a few cuts and bruises. I couldn't open any of the doors as the metal was bent so I had to break the window and crawl out, collapsed almost straight away and heard sirens heading my way. Woke up when the guards got there and called an ambulance.

HA HA I try this kind of thing with my GF all the time funny sh*t never gets old.:)

a couple of years ago i had a collapsed lung and when i was admitted and they were putting in the chest tube the muppet doctor doing it did something wrong and caused me unbearable agony like i had never felt before. i felt like my ribs were being crushed. next thing i know i feel very faint and an oxygen mask is put over me and the machines i am hooked up to start beeping like crazy and the room is full of panicked people shouting. i thought i was ****ed. according to my gf who was outside she said it was like watching ER.
other than that the only other time i was truly terrified was when i nearly lost my mam to cancer

Censorsh!t · 10-05-2010 02:06PM

Nothing in comparison to what others have posted, but I remember just vaguely, when I was about 6 or 7 me and my family were staying in a B&B and in the middle of the night the roof collapsed in on our room.
I always thought it was just a nightmare until around a year ago my mom brought it up.

The time I tore my frenulum.

When I was a kid, I spent my summer holidays in France. Our daily routine would be, go jump off the pier, hit the beach and also a dive into a cave that had a a few air bubbles in it.

So one year, there were some serious storms, if beach activities were out, we had very little else to do, 2 days after the storm the water visbility was terrible, but none the less, I decided to venture into the cave to reach the airbubble (we knew it inside out).

When I arrived, everything was pitch black due to poor visibility in the water, normally you would able to clearly see the entrance.

I was in quite a state of panic but i tried to assure myself that I knew the cave inside out and so I began to trace back to the entrance...

All was going well but I was worried by the fact that I still couldn't see anything, I kept swimming until BANG.

I smacked my mask off the side of the cave, in that moment, I don't think i've ever been quite so scared in my entire life... a million thoughts raced through my mind, to the point that I even started to consider the possibility that I had ventured deeper into the cave.

I even went to turn around to swim back deeper into the cave, but just as I was turning, a small film of light no wider than a cm was streaming down from the entrance of the cave, turns out I had just veered to the right coming out.

It's a very scary moment when you realise you may well be about to die, I'm still amazed to this day by the lack of logic your brain has when confronted with such a situation. Panic takes over your mind and body.

NothingMan · 10-05-2010 02:31PM

Start with the funny ones.

Becuase I grew up with such a huge family and 1 bathroom we never really locked the door. Was having a shower on day and was shampooing with my eyes closed. Leaned back to rinse the suds off and when I opened my eyes there was a face right against the shower door just staring at me. I would have fallen over with fright but my shower was so small I just whacked my head off the shower unit. Stupid feckin girlfriend still laughs at me to this day.

Was Skiing in Bulgaria and on the 2nd day we were going down the mountain. The last half is a fairly steep but really wide run that you're suppose to do an S type pattern down. After about 3 turns I was going too fast to turn and ended up pointed straight down the 1km hill and picking up a lot of speed. At one point I went over some poor girls Skis. Somehow managed to stay upright and when the ground leveled out I stopped. Had to wait about 15 mins for the group to come down the proper way. Took my about 30 seconds. Was terrified but was quite fun too.

Not so fun ones.

Scumbag in school used to spit at me when he was with all his mates. Tried to put it up to him but his mates would just step in and I'd be way out numbered. Was walking to work on a weekend morning and he's walking towards me alone and I hear him about to spit at me. Before I knew it I had him agianst a wall by his throat just screaming at him. He was punching at me but I didn't really feel anything until after. After about 30 seconds I threw him on the ground and walked off. Spent the rest of the day sh1tting myself waiting for all his mates to come to McDonalds where I worked looking for me. They did, but I had finished my shift thank feck so I got away with it. Saw him again a few weeks later and he crossed the road to avoid me.

Had some trouble with them until I was finished school but luckily nothing too bad.

lucylu · 10-05-2010 04:50PM

we were visting our Granny who lived up the road one Friday night in September in 1992 and as the evening wore on it had gotten dark my brother and cousin said they would walk myself and other cousin home "past the gander" a dark spot on a small country back road covered with trees and make sure we got home.
As we walked up our grannys lane my brother said lets go visiting collect conkers .The best conker tree around was in the opposite direction up on the main road beside a farmhouse which at the time had a galvanised roof. We said ok once we were home straight after. For us girls in our early teens our parents were strict. Anyway armed with a torch we made our way walking up the road across the main road and into the field to opposite the farmhouse where the conker tree overhung on the road.
We started to gather the conkers, handfuls of them. Next thing my brother and cousin started to hurl the conkers and stones against the galvanise roof in protest to the young farmer who gave them 1 bag of crisps and a can of coke for a days work loading bales onto trailers. next thing the farmer was out with the shotgun blasted 2 shots into the air and we took off running in different directions.. I got out of the field across the road and into lay down in a dyke face down wetting myself in more than one way in the process.

The farmer tore up and down the road in his car a few times in the hope of catching us. he called out the name of a neighbour telling he would catch him some night. I don't think I ever was as scared. Looking back it was a great night. a few weeks later the farmer had the house reroofed

I really wasn't expecting this sentence while reading that.

McChubbin · 10-05-2010 05:32PM

Had a pregnancy scare when I was 18. Sitting on the loo holding a Clearblue and praying it wouldn't say "positive" would have to be one of the most outright terrifying things in the world, seconded only by the sentance:
"Ummm.. I don't mean to alarm you but...the condom's gone missing."

Still makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.

hidinginthebush · 10-05-2010 06:13PM

Mine would be when I was coming home, after visiting my gf when she was off on a J1. Anyway, I'm on the plane from Chicago to Dublin, the plane is mid-take off, you know how it is, engines ploughing away, you're being pushed back into your seat, looking at the ground fall away. When all of a sudden, at maybe 10,000 ft, the engines cut out, it was completely surrreal, everybody sort of sat up and looked at eachother, not believing what was happening, made all the more surreal by the complete silence, when you're used to the noise of engines. The next thing though, and this made it so worse, you could feel the climb easing off, then like when you go over a hump in the road, the plane then started to fall, I swear to god I thought there and then it was the end, I nearly shat myself along with the rest of the passengers, then the engines kicked back in and the plane continued the climb.

Another one was just last winter when the whole country was frozen over. Where I live, the roads weren't getting gritted since they were minor roads, so driving was like steering a boat. Anyway, I was on my way into the town when I went off the road and hit some railings. That wasn't that bad, but on the way home when the adrenaline wore off with the car veering all over the road was horrible.

Finally, my granny died about a year ago, so I've been living in her house to keep it warm while it's waiting to be sold. One night, my gf and I arrived home from work, were just throwing on the kettle and stuff, when we heard someone banging and scratching on the door. My heart skipped a beat, I whuispered to my gf to get 999 up on her phone, and be ready to dial, as I crept along the hall with a golf club, trying not to creek the floorboards and alert the bastards. Anyway, I get to the door, absolutely kacking myself, turn on the outside light while flinging the door open, about to clock the nackers right between the eyes with a 9 iron, and who should I see there? The dog from next door had seen us coming in and decided she'd like some bikkies, I nearly came with relief

MackDeToaster · 10-05-2010 07:00PM

Like ScienceNerd I don't really get scared, I just seem to disconnect from it.

I've been in loads of accidents but most times they happen so quickly I might only have time enough to think fuuu.. and then it's just 'happening', by which point it doesn't really matter anymore. It's the moment when you realise things that are out of control and something bad is coming which you're powerless to stop which are the worst.

Of those, my most memorable was a massive tankslapper on a bike at 140+mph. I don't know how many here are familiar with tankslappers, have a search on youtube for TT tankslapper for an idea. This was a belter, a full proper feet off the pegs, unable to onto hold the bars job. This went on for a good few seconds and several hundred yards of road, which near the end included going around a shallow curve on the wrong side and just missing a head-on into a lorry by inches as the bike ran over and up onto the ditch.

It was a horrible feeling, if it can be described as such, as it's more like a non-feeling; not being scared or frightened, just an overwhelming emotional blankess as you think this is it - I'm going to die in the next few seconds and there's nothing I can do.

I suppose another good one was when I had my first ever plane flight as a teenager. It was a joyride at an airshow and was in one of those small Cessna things that take skydivers up, as all the other planes were booked out and there was a huge queue waiting.

Anyways there were three of us in the back kneeling on the floor as there were no seats or anything, and after a while the pilot started faffing about a bit messing, then forgot himself completely and suddenly banked over completely sideways so that the wings were about 90 degrees to the ground.

Us in the back were thrown all over the place but were laughing until we looked down and realised we were now kneeling on the windows, so of course we started looking at each other as I'm sure the same thought came into all of our heads - just how strongly is the glass fitted :eek:

Then I realised that the window I was kneeling on, and was looking down through the thousand or so feet to the ground, was in fact the window of the door, and it was held closed only by one of those little hooks that you might see closing a door in an old cottage. I didn't even dare move in case it snapped and out I popped like a turd after a feed of tortillas, so I just piped up in a quiet but what I hoped was a rather commanding voice, "straighten the fcuking plane up right now!".

Redpunto · 10-05-2010 07:11PM

Most scariest moment was when my then 3 day old baby was lying in the middle of our bed, we were both standing at the end of the bed talking, heard crash and a 2 metre wooden book shelf that had been on the wall above the bed had fallen down along with all the books onto the bed.

long story short, he was ok the shelf compeltely missed him and most of the books had seemed to have fallen around him (with the help of a couple of guardian grandad angels we think). It was a miracle he came out of it with just a little bump on the head, we were speeding into temple street and cam across a checkpoint, who promptly put me and baby into the back of their jeep and sped into town with the OH in our little punto racing to keep up, the most terrifying night of my life.

stepbar · 10-05-2010 07:29PM

The day the back door of the Nissan Sunny fell off...... fcukin rust bucket....

TheInquisitor · 10-05-2010 07:33PM

When i was about 12 my freinds and their parents were over. The adults were playing cards and we were watching TV . Some magician was on and was tied up and had to get out of cages etc before he might DIE! I said hey tie me up to that small chair and ill see if i can get out of it.

So my friends tied me up and there i was for 5 min trying to get out of the knots etc. Not a hope! I then told them to untie me.... Well this is when the problems began...They wouldnt untie me and instead took turns slapping my face, pulling my ears etc and i couldnt do a thing about it.

Now back then i had quite a short fuse if you wound me up enough. So i saw one of my "friends" was going to run past me and slap my face so i pushed the chair up and back on its hind legs so he missed slapping me i then pushed down on the chair then jumped up gave the him a flying kick with both my legs into his head and he went flying into a wall.

However, i then fell victim to laws of gravity and fell back and hit the back of my head of the ground. I was blind. Couldn't see a thing. Completly freakin out in the chair(in hysterics). The whole night i couldn't see a think just blackness. Parents put me to bed as they didnt believe it was as serious as i was making out. Thank feck when i woke up the next morning my sight was back . NEVER been so freaked out in my life.

That was the last time i got friends to tie me up...now just kinky women

Big Nasty · 10-05-2010 07:56PM

Had some scary moments but nothing that ever freaked me. Mine include a couple car and bike crashes and very near misses, a few scary moments on the door where I felt 'oh **** I'm gonna get it here' but the most potentially scary one was behing held up with a sawn off shotgun while on my way to the bank. People were asking me for weeks was I ok and had it sank in yet. Still waiting! :eek:

Bazzy · 10-05-2010 09:55PM

I have a couple

I work sometimes as a rigger. Wont go into too much detail just encase health and safety ppl a looking in but we were taking down a smallish mast about 80 or 90 feet I climbed up and took the equipment and cables that were there down. We had a crane ready and strapped up the mast this is where fear number one kicked in

Some cheeky kids i'd imagine took the nuts at the bottom of the mast off so it lifted straight off so the small stay wires were the only things holding it so it couldn have been minus bazzy at that stage.

When we took the mast down it was at the pinnacle point and snapped half way through it was closer to the ground than I thought one of the lads at the back roared its ok to which he got replied my trousers arent!

2nd time was much higher up in a mobile work platform this thing goes very very very high like 75 - 80 meters and it decided to konk out the driver even got scared it was out for about 20 minutes we were working on a mobile phone mast and had to switch it off so had no coverage to ring anyone lucky it came back on could have been a long old time up there !

I wont even get into the flying i'm useless. Woke the missus up with an awful fright when we hit a bit of turbulence she couldnt sleep for the rest of the flight in case i started off again

baldbear · 10-05-2010 10:22PM

I was on holidays with a group of about 20 lads in the Canaries and one morning i was dying of a hangover and needed an urgent dump. So i proceed to go into the other lads apartment, or what i thought was, to find some toilet roll.
So there i am sitting on the jacks thinking to meself fair play to the boys for keeping there jacks so tidy and then i hear a kids voice. I think to meself whys there a child in the apartment? Ahh bollex i was in the wrong apartment. I literally sh*t myself. I Legged it out the door

rannerap · 11-05-2010 12:10AM

valentines night the year before last i was out with some friends,i got a call from my mam saying i needed to get home now,my sister was after taking some pills and they didnt know what was going to happen and that she was with in the hospital,my friend had to bring me home because i was hysterical,i sat up with her and my little brother who was just as bad as i was for the entire night just staring blankly into space and cyring until we got word that she was ok,easily the scariest moment of my life

monkeyfudge · 11-05-2010 12:16AM

I really don't think anything has ever frightened me.

I guess it helps that I have a general disdain for my own existence.

I didn't even get freaked out the time someone tried to murder me by sticking a knife in my chest. I calmly made it to the hospital under my own steam while loosing a sh*t load of blood. Body was nice enough not to go into shock until I was safely on a hospital gurney.

CorkMan · 11-05-2010 12:19AM

I was up in Belfast 10 years back, well the port a couple of miles away but not sure of the name. I was learning stuff on a boat as part of a course I was doing, it was half a trip as well, to the isle of man and back. Suddenly when we were leaving port, about a couple of hundred feet out, we saw this "thing" rise out of the water, with a big long neck, about 60 feet big and humungous....naw only messing

Actually what happened was I was on board, and went to sleep the first night, under the deck. I had a bloody nightmare where I was underneath a deck in a boat and a load of money (Don't know why money) built up to the size of the ceiling, and I was stuck in the corner and it fell on me. (presumably killing me in the dream)

I woke up absolutely screaming my head off, and I heard another scream then, me waking up another person!

Another fella woke up and banged his head against the ceiling (he was on a top bunk)

One other thing was when I was 14 I hung around with my friend, and it was an strange night, a slight wind in the air. We were playing soccer out the back then decided to head off. After half of mile of walking we looked up a road and saw this "thing". It was about 7 feet in stature, had really broad shoulders, broader even than 20 stone rugby players, and had load of things half visibly dancing around it.

The creature was clearly visibly, and both me and my friend saw it. We both said "What the hell" looking at it. We were not on any drugs or anything. It was not a corner of the eye thing, but full view in front of our eyes. I wouldn't say it was a ghost, but a very real thing.

The same person, his brother got his throat cut 5 years later.

problemchimp · 11-05-2010 12:30AM

got stabbed in the neck in london. nearly died. **** myself after they told me I would be ok. Turns out the little fat cnut who stabbed me hated the "Paddies" and had done this twice before. It was tough being Irish in London in the 80's. I got a few bob out of him and a couple of Donegal lads beat the crap out of him badly.

When I was about 9 or 10 years old, we had a sports day in school in the park across the road from my house. I came home to get ready just after school had finished, and couldn't wait for all the races etc. Ran up to my room, changed in the space of seconds and legged out, slamming my bedroom door behind me. This was where my day took a turn for the worse!

As I slammed the door with my right hand, my left hand was flailing excitedly. So much so that my index finger got caught, and I had slammed the door completely shut with my finger almost embedded into the house.

I immediately scream in pain, and my mother comes out of her bedroom in a panic. She opens my bedroom door to reveal squirting from the tip of what used to be my index finger. To make matters worse, my nail was hanging off!! She rushed me into the bathroom and put it under the cold water tap! I could have passed out with the pain and it didn't help when I witnessed my own nail getting washed down the sink. Blood squirting everywhere.

Proceeded in a taxi to the Regional hospital with me screaming the whole way out "I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die". On getting treated, the doctor and two nurses had to call for backup as I was uncontrollable. It was like something out of the exorcist! My mum said I punched two of the nurses and was calling the doctor bad names!!! I felt every stitch on that occasion more than any other stitch I've felt in my life! Still have a scar on the tip of my finger to this day!

Whats the most frightened you've ever been?
