­Car accident Roll over at 130 mph, I was the ­passenger.

When i found a dead body. My boss. I wasn't expecting it and i nearly stepped on him before i saw him. That really shocked me. I had nightmares for weeks.

It didn't happen to me, but the most mortifying feeling I've ever felt was when my brother was shot multiple times and literally barely clinging to life. It was absolutely terrifying to think he might die. the worst feeling EVER.

was left alone for sometime in life.that was probably the scarriest thing that had ever happened.

Being in Israel and in a car with some men we met and knew quite well or so we thought....when one of them tried groping my mate and it got well out of hand, then his mate tried the same with me, so i punched them to get them off me and my friend and because they wouldnt stop the car i opened the back door whilst they were driving and dragged my mate and rolled out of the car.....not a good experience and one i'll never forget.

Having a gun put to my head by a dealer when I was looking for some pot. I quit smoking though!

Trying to think of one particular event would be hard, there have been too many scary moments to list. I guess I would have to say that the day that it sunk in that there was no one left. In a course of 5 yrs I had lost the rest of my family, my best friend, and had gotten a divorce leaving me pretty much alone. I was of course aware of the events as they occured but being aware of and actually "getting it" are two very different things. I realized I am in position I despise, a home I dispise, a state that I have no real affection for either, surrounded by people I find to be oh so self important and boring to boot.. and I froze like bambi in the headlights..Scariest thing that ever happened to me. :)

My most scariest thing was when two strange men took me from a park. I was 6 years old.

I should say when I almost died..but that wasn't scary at all..just peaceful. I think when I retired from work--I sort of felt like I was stepping off into a void. But retirement is utopia.

One scary thing that I can think of that happened recently... I was working in a subway shop in downtown... It was a little one that didn't get much business... Well I closed the store by myself... And one night this bum guy comes in tripping really hard on something... I couldn't understand a lot of what he was trying to tell me... He kept saying "your eyes are like the light in mine"... I don't even know if he realized what he meant by it... Well I made his sandwich, and he took it and didn't pay for it... He sat inside... and so I went in the backroom office to call my friend and tell her about him... because he creeped me out and I was going to wait until he left to go back out there... Well I was talking to my friend and I looked up at the security camera and the camera that was pointing into the offic showed him right behind me... I dropped the phone and screamed at him to get out and I slammed the office door... I picked up the phone and told my friend that I had to call the police... He stood by the door forever and then walked in the front and started messing with the cash register... The cops finally showed up and pulled there guns on him because he wouldn't listen to them.. I was shaking and so freaked out... My boss moved me to a different store in town that had two people closing at night...

I was in a car that was hit by a semi. We were driving down the highway, and the truck driver took a turn way too fast, and we were in the passing lane beside him. He jack-knifed, and our cars entire back-end was crushed. Luckily, no one was killed, but I have a pin in my leg that's holding the bone together as my leg snapped clean in half. I don't even remember what happened from the time of seeing the truck lose control to the time I woke up in the hospital, though I'm told I was conscious and that I was giving a full account of what happened. To this day, the memory remains sketchily blocked.

I wanted my mom to take me to Barnes and Noble. Mom turned the car and ended up getting hit by another car. The ambulance came and shook me. That was when I noticed that blood was on the top of my head. I yelled, "I'm bleeding, I'm bleeding." I saw blood all over my pants and shirt. I turned my head and saw a whole lot of glass everywhere. I got put on a stretcher and brought into the ambulance's vehicle. When I reached the hospital, I got pushed over to a room. A curtain was separating me and my sister. Cops asks us questions, I didn't know the answer to a few. Later on, I got to talk to my sister. My sister, my mom, and I got pulled into a room one by one and we had to get put under this one machine. We got pulled back into the room. I ended up seeing my mom later on. My mom was worse than the rest of us, but we ended up leaving that day.

I was the first to discover my father during his first and last Heart-attack, I'm not sure if he was alive to be loaded into the ambulance but I'm pretty sure he was DOA at the hospital.

Before I knew that my daughter has asthma, she stopped breathing. The next few minutes were the longest of my life.

Tough question... I've witnessed some absolutely horrifying things, but none of them actually happened 'to me', as I said I was merely a witness. Hmm... I don't know for sure, but I've had people threaten to kill me several times before *shrugs* that's never really an enjoyable experience... Also, I was once in a light aircraft flying around New Zealand (middle of nowhere), and we hit some MAJOR turbulence... Damn near threw the plane 10 feet down in an instant then back up again, pretty much hit the roof and everything... That was pretty scary : D

I would have to say my dad having a heart attack in front of me in July was the scariest.

There are two that were equally terrifying. While snorkeling for my first time, without any instruction (yeah, stupid I know), I became tired. I was in deep water and not close to shore. There wasn't anyone in my immediate area. I struggled to get back to shore. I went under 3 times. Obviously, I made it. I will never snorkel again. The other was during a snowstorm. I was determined to drive to a neighboring town. The roads seemed OK, but when I started driving over a navigational bridge, my car started fish tailing. The bridge was as least 300 feet over the Arkansas river. I lost control of the car and did 3 donuts across the bridge before coming to a stop. I didn't hit any of the concrete walls. It was a miracle.

A friend and I were walking towards my house when I was like 12 years old. A man walked up from behind us and pulled my backpack from me. I pulled with all my strength and the straps gave way. I got the bag, he walked off laughing ... Scary at that point, not so much now :p

Got run over and knocked unconsious on a busy road by a motorbike.

i was thrown from a vehicle during an accident and almost hit by it as it kept driving

when I was 9, at some camp I touched a high voltage cable ,and then I found myself 3 meters away from that,and im still alive

I was in a car accident

i was sitting in my buddies house when there was a drive by shooting and a bullet wizzed by my head and hit the wall behind me.

I was chased on the highway by a road rage lunatic

I missed hitting a train by inches, when I rode my bike under a closed rail gate like a fool only becoz I was lazy to stop my bike.

Looking what was beside me the next morning

The FEDS knocked in my front and back doors in 1997. That pretty much sucked!

I walked in after getting off work & my 1 year old daughter had a bottles of pills that she was eating while my dear ex husband was passed on on the couch while babysitting. I thought my life & his (because I would have killed him) was over

Nearly got hit by lightening once. That was pretty scary. Had a few close calls with people following me in their cars and trying to run me off the road too. And also witnessing fights scares me and once a dude punched the window of my car cos he wanted to beat up the guy inside my car. I can't think of anything else.

Getting married

Once blew a tire doing 70 on the Mass Turnpike at rush hour, skidded across 3 lanes of traffic and down the bank but as I was going off the road my only thought was shit I should have renewed AAA....

A manager at work made some suggestive comments! ;-)

Seeing my best friend get killed by a carbomb.

I was in a bank when they suddenly locked us inside. Took me a minute but I realized they were being robbed at gunpoint. They gave the guy what he wanted, unlocked the door for him and kept us there for 2 hours to give statements-yawn.

Prison

The realization of having no job or money and knowing you have bills to pay, it's damn scary...

escaping a missile attack 50 meters away 20 years ago (no kidding)

Having my baby boy whisked away to the "nursery" for breathing problems before I even got to see him.

Jumping off a cliff of a water fall

I was hiking in CO. with a friend, when we found ourselves about a hundred feet up, near the edge of a cliff. There was a flat rock about twenty feet wide and at about a thirty degree slope, ending at the edge of the cliff. I began to cross, and was about halfway when my feet started sliding on loose gravel. I dropped to my butt and the heels of my hands, desperately trying to stop my slide towards the edge. I kept sliding. I was close enough to the edge to see where I was about to end my life on the rocks below, when the heel of my shoe caught hold of a small fissure in the rock. I stopped sliding, but was afraid to move; fearing any motion, and my heel would lose it's place in the crack.. I'd start to slide, and go over. My friend worked his way down along the side of the sloping rock, stepped out, and coaxed me to reach for his hand. After a few seconds of weighing my options (getting up the nerve) I took the risk, turned to my side and clasped his hand, just as my heel lost it's tentative hold in the gravel filled crack. With my friend's help, I was able to crawl to safety. Standing on solid ground, I looked over the edge and thought about how close I'd come, to a hundred foot free fall, ending in a final bone crushing impact. My friend saved my life that day... Thanks Todd.

Almost drowned when I was 14...I was caught in a riptide and I tried to swim against it, got tired and went unconscious. Next thing I knew, I was on the beach coughing water and shaking. Luckily the lifeguard on duty was paying attention.

Back in 1969 I was a door gunner on a helicopter in Vietnam. I got shot in the right shoulder and it came out my back. That was scary.

a flasher with a bag on his head completely naked and masturbating stood on a bridge i was passing under i ran and ran until i got home took me a while to calm.

Reading Revelation

I discovered that the person i was ...still exists lol

Being in Houston, I'd have to say Hurricane Ike was pretty scary. I'm a native Californian and have been thru a few earthquakes, but this hurricane thing really freaked me out. It lasts so long and is so violent. I'll take a Cali quake anyday over the wrath of the Gulf.

One of the neighbors party going buddies blindsided me and knock me unconscious. I was telling them to be quiet at 3:00 AM.

The guy that I was dating died. We went to school together from sixth grade until twelfth grade and even graduated together. We dated for a few months and he died in his sleep. He had a seizure while he was sleeping. God rest his soul.

On my birthday (1/3/09) my best friends Mom died. Scarry thing is that at work I recieved emails from her on that day. We are not sure what time she died and we are not sure what caused her to die. We believe she had a seizure that caused her to fall and hit her head. The police came when her son found her body and treated it as a homicide!! that was freaky!!! I love her and miss her a lot. But I am pleased that she is no longer suffering from pain that was caused by her illnesses at such a young age(52).

scary...hmm... nearly hit by car passing by fast..i backed up one step..and the car was an inch..away from me..side mirror almost touched me...but yeh..then they screamed at ME to get out of the way...duh..it was freaking red light...gosh.. and..erm..seeing my eyes in the mirror..its pretty scary.. idunno..my memory just ran away..goddarn it.

I was almost beaten to death when I defended my best friend who was being called slut and bitch.

A one night stand told me she was pregnant.. false alarm, whew!

I encounted the most terrifying "being" a few years ago. If your interested; http://www.yourghoststories.com/real-ghost-story.php?story=3179

hearing my daughter yell "MOMMY IVE BEEN HIT BY A CAR - I cant feel my back" I felt my world slip away in 2 seconds

I was in an armed robbery once. I was a late night customer in a restaurant. It was cold, so the robber came in all dressed in a snow suit with his face covered. He had a semi-automatic pistol, in his hand. He cleaned out the cash register and left. No one was hurt. I did not really get scared until later that morning. I really came to grips with the fact that I could have been killed. I never want to go through that again. That was as scary to me as it comes.

I almost fell into the Grand Canyon about a year and a half ago. I slipped where there was no rail and I almost fell in, but luckily my mom went with me and was standing right behind me to catch me. Dang that was one of the scariest things that has ever happened to me. That is a huge hole in the ground lol.

MY COIUSIN GOT MURRDERD IN FRONT OF ME

My sentencing.

i almost died.

me and my friends were playing hide in seek in the basement. then the light went off.and i heard a scream.and one of the kids went missing the next year we saw the kid in some hospitel.

a car came crashing through our house driven by a drunk driver and landed in my bedroom where I was sleeping. His car was at the foot of my bed when the dust cleared.

I was born.

there was a really bad shootout in my neighborhood and people were shooting and i looked outside to see what was happening and i got hit in the left shoulder. i went inside and called the cops.

Every time my dad flipped out when I was a kid. He has depression (even though I think he doesn't like admitting it) and he used to lose it more often then now.He used to take it out on almost anyone...even the poor dog got a lot of it. I was just a kid so I didn't really know what was up:-(

i was 12 years old and i was in my dad's village in Nigeria (West Africa), my dad had guests coming over, so i had to go put some beers in the fridge(yes they have technology). i carried too many, and one slipped from my hand, and left a big gash in my ankle, i was bleeding soooo badly, it was unrealistic. my brother brought his towel to cover the wound, but his towel soaked through. Not to mention, there was no car at home at the time, and i was beginning to bleed out, and as we were in a village, there was no phone service and no 911 anyways. luckily one of his guests arrived, and they had to use his car to get me to the village nurse. i left his car soooo bloody. i haven't been so scared in my life. when i got back to the U.S, i learned it was heavily infected, because it wasnt treated properly. whew!
