The scariest thing that ever happened to you?

I locked myself out on a balconly 8th floor, home alone, phone inside. I got rescued by my next door neighbor(i think 1 hour later) then I called the locksmith to get back inside because my front door was locked too :indifferent:0

One time I joined a fitness site and found out that there are some horny people out there.0

A very large and muscular Marine officer, who was my date (second date - seemed like a nice guy) and only ride home, decided I wanted rough sex (even though I was repeatedly asking him to leave) and that "No!", really meant "Yeah Baby". Clothes were ripped and I got pretty well manhandled including being picked up and thrown to the floor, until I suppose it dawned on him that a rape accusation would probably ruin his career and he left (acting like I had been asking for it, and was being silly and unreasonable). Then texted later thanking me for the nice time. Blocked his number and cried. And wondered for ages if he would show up again some day and break my pitiful door down. Thinking back, I don't know why I didn't report him.0

Oh yeah. I forgot I locked myself out of the house once. Naked. :sick:0 -
No.. They pumped her full of saline solution. I would imagine it is different then the one we use for our contact lenses but, they gave her a LOT of it.It is a tie.
While in the Army, I had the pleasure of being deployed to Somolia.
To cut to the chase, I kicked in a door and the guy on the other side fired two rounds at me with an AK-47. He was about 10 feet away and missed. That was scary.
Fast forward 8 years. Married and (this is important), I became a Jehovahs Witness.
The religion is important because we don't take blood.
Anyway, my wife is in labor with our first Son. As he came out, I heard the Doctor say "Uh oh". Now, if there is ONE place you don't want to hear that, it is in a delivery room.
I look at him and say "Uh oh what?"
He looks at me and said "You guys are Jehovah's Witnesses, right?"
For what it's worth, that is probably the ONLY time you DON'T want to hear that question.
I nonned my head and he said something or made a signal. The room suddenly filled up with people.
My wife was bleeding to death from "up there". The baby, as he came out, had torn some arteries inside of her.
They rushed her into the OR and, for a solid hour, I had no idea if she was dead or alive.
(spoiler alert.. she lived)
That was the most terrifying hour of my life.
So I guess you took blood?
When talking to the doctor a few weeks later, he told me that as soon as they would clamp one tear, they would find the other one further up.
I can't remember how many stitches it took but, I do remember a LOT of blood.
My poor wife had "Fred Flinstone" feet for about two weeks.
The doctor explained how close she actually came to bleeding out and he was very proud (as he should have been) of the fact that he was able to save her without the use of blood.
Our next child was a C section.
And for the record, MUCH less drama.
Glad it all worked out well in the end. Labour/birth can be VERY traumatic. My 2nd was traumatic hence her being our last child :sad: but I'd rather my family have a mother who was alive than an extra child! I don't want to take any risks.0 -
I poured cereal and found out that there was no milk.0

Have a few stories but they are quite traumatic and too damn disturbing to share but lets go with what doesn't kill you only make you stranger.0

Fear and I are well acquainted. I experience a lot of disturbing sleep-related phenomena. Sleep paralysis, for example. It's different for everyone, but for me, it can feel like i'm being slowly suffocated, like I'm being dragged out of bed or like something is tearing me open, draining all of the life and happiness out of me and replacing it with darkness, pain and terror. It's what I'd imagine a dementor's kiss to feel like. It's very vivid, very intense, and not something I'd wish on anyone.
I also have a lot of nightmares/night terrors stemming from trauma and childhood abuse. I've woken up 100% convinced I'm either dying or completely losing my mind. And on occasion, I wake up with exploding head syndrome, which my imagination convinces me is either my brain finally giving up or the apocalypse.0 -
I don't know if any of you in the US heard about the riots that happened in the UK?
I live in the heart of the city center of Birmingham. I got sent home from work early, and my boss dropped me off close to my apartment and I suddenly realised I had no keys with me and I had to wait for my housemate to get home. I was walking around the streets, everything was closed, with hundreds of the rioters walking around in masks, hoods up, bats, etc, etc... That actually wasn't so bad because they weren't in it to hurt people, they just wanted to smash things.
The scary part came when I actually got in. We gathered all our friends together and it was all pretty surreal looking out the window at all the hooded figures and riot vans. Then we felt the entire apartment shake and heard lots of shouting. Looked out the window to see that they had set fire to a huge rubbish bin (the big big kind on wheels), and were ramming it into the shop that we lived directly above.0 -

My 4 year old was missing for 20 minutes in Target.. it seems harmless, but when you're a mom and you don't know where your child is for 20 minutes, it's terrifying. The staff blocked the exits to the store and had to clear each department one by one to find him. I think my heart was stopped the entire time.0

My mum being diagnosed with cancer was pretty scary.....
THIS TOO.0 -

I just like a good laugh and most of your posts do that to me
Alright, I will share but be warned that you asked for it and its not a funny story.
Wow... okay, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to tell anyone about this, but it's late and I'm sleep deprived so i guess I'll just write it now and regret it in the morning
First of all, - just for some background: My mom died right when I was born, (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn't about her. I guess that's messed up to say, but whatever.) I actually grew up with my dad's family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born. So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.
Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister. When I was about 17 or 18 I first noticed that my sister was a hottie.
I don't want to go into to many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself. I knew she didn't make it for me- but I thought she was so beautiful that I watched it twice. (probably would have watched it a hell of a lot more, except that like right around the time I found the video, all this crazy stuff went down and I had to leave home. (My dad's family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law. I never talk about it).
Sooo... I was totally lusting after my sister at that point. She was also having bad trouble with the law. She was actually in custody when I left home.
My friend and I went to go pick her up. When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I just wanted to do her. Looking back on it now, it's pretty messed up- but I think she had feelings for me too. She actually kissed me right after we came to get her... and it wasn't a sisterly kiss, you know? I mean, it wasn't like ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn't sisterly.
After we left, we all went to crash with my Sister's friends. On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my Sister, and I got a little jealous. He's a good looking guy- and even though she was my sister- I just felt like he was competition. Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexy hugging.
Pretty much everyone in my life at that point was wanted by the government, so we all moved around a lot. I'm not saying that I'm proud of it or anything, but it was kind of an awesome time.
My friend and my sister never hooked up I don't think- but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them. It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident. It was messed up. I almost died. But when I was in recovery my sister came to see me, and out of the clear blue sky she started gives me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.
Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it. We spent some time apart... and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her that way. It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her. But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that), and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I've ever seen and it brought back all the old feelings. Sigh.
A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before (the sexual tension guy). I can't say I was surprised.
But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was one time we were at a party... my friend was inside, and my sister and I were outside alone. It was a really intimate moment. I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that Darth Vader was our father and that I had to go face him.0 -

Anyway, what's the scariest thing that's happened to you?

LERL.
Reminds me of a film I watched where this guy's wife is brutally murdered by a serial killer and left his unborn son physically disabled. Then in a twisted turn of events, his son is kidnapped and he has to chase the kidnapper 1000's of miles with the help of a mentally disabled woman. I think it was called Looking for Nemo, or something.0 -
When I was 16, 3 paranormal activities happened the same day, I still have no explanation about them!
First me and mom turned back home in the evening. There were 2 locks on the door and one of them was broken and nobody had the key of that broken lock. We tried to open the door but we couldn't somehow. We called a locksmith and he passed the broken lock with a skeleton key. 1. How the hell was that thing locked without a key? 2. How the hell was that thing locked while it was broken? This is first one.
Then at night, I went to my room and closed my door to sleep. Somehow my door opened by itself. I checked the windows but all of them was closed. Well it was normal because it was winter. So there wasn't any air flow to open the door. I closed, it opened. Closed again but it opened. After a while I locked my door. But it opened again. I gave up and let it stay open. But then it closed!!! I was terrifying! I took Quran, Bible and Torah from bookshelf, hugged them in bed and I fell asleep whil I was telling the whole prayers I know. This is second.
And finally a nightmare or whatever was that ****! A "war sound" on my ears, screams, horses and swords... I opened my eyes and saw a black sheet on my duvet. I couldn't move. Something really heavy was on my and I was like having a stroke. Tried to call someone, tried to shout but my voice didn't exist anymore. Even I can't hear my own voice. I thought something was gonna kill me somehow. I was waiting to die and I was praying God to have a painless death. Then the war sound stopped. And the black sheet went away. Tried to talk and move and I could do everything again. Like my body defrosted. And this is third.
Thankfully nothing happened again like this. I'm even shaking right now because of remembrance. Terrifying memories, uh!

The last thing you described is called sleep paralysis. When you go to sleep, your brain partially paralyzes your body to prevent you from acting out your dreams. Sometimes that can happen before you are fully asleep, causing you to have hallucinations. They feel terrifying and very real, but know that if you ever experience that again, they cannot harm you.0 -

You can't think clearly at that moment! You're just scared stiff of death! Never happened again, i hope never will happen! But thanks for the advice 0 -
Wife is sleeping on her back. She senses that something is standing over her - she suddenly comes fully awake -. As she opens her eyes in the very dim room, she sees a silhouette and she blurts out a sound-then she says "OH NO". She is fully conscious - this is not a dream.
She lies there frozen in terror. Motionless and quietly as she can. She reluctantly and carefully turns her eyes toward this presence.... and as she assesses the dark ominous shadow she realizes that it is only a head floating! It then slowly moves away and exits the bedroom down the hallway towards the kid's room - and she knows she cant let this get to her children.
She gets up in the dark and follows. Once in the hallway she finds there is nothing. She walks through the dark house and finds nothing, the boys are safe and sound asleep - what the hell?
Terror filled - confused- bewildered- she is flooded with a range of frantically controlled emotions - as she knows that she has not imagined or dreamed any of this.
As she makes her way back down the hallway to the bedroom she runs SMACK INTO THE FLOATING HEAD!!! - It is a metallic helium balloon.
The balloon had lost enough helium to allow it to sink below the door header. It moved via the circulating air stream as the air conditioner cycled on and off.0 -

It's hard to say because I freak out pretty easy, but the first one that comes to mind: when I was 19 or 20 and my ex-husband held me over the edge of our second-floor apartment balcony (baby style, if that makes sense.) I knew I was going to fall and die, kept my eyes shut and screamed/cried for him to stop. He laughed at me. Now we're divorced. 0

Once when I was about 10 I was home by myself and some guy kept calling the house and saying he knew I was there and he was going to come get me. I locked all the doors and windows, called my mom, and sat in the living room with her pistol until she got home. Nothing ever happened.. he never called again after that and I never saw anyone. And this back in the day before they could trace calls and stuff.
When I was about 23 some guy broke out my porch light and stood there in the dark knocking on the door. I think he thought I lived alone, and the guy I was living with answered it and he made some small talk and left.
Once my POS car did a complete 360 in the rain on a busy highway. That scared the crap out of me.. I thought I was dead. But all the cars managed to be far enough behind me not to hit me and they all kept some distance from me after that. lol
And one time an entire 12 pack of sodas exploded (from being overheated) in my back seat while I was driving, and I started screaming because I thought someone shot out my back window. I realized what happened when I discovered the back of my head was covered with soda and not broken glass, and then it was sort of funny.
I've had numerous ghost encounters which weren't really scary, but in the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, on the 9th floor, it felt like something chased me into the elevator. That one was a little scary.0
