What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?
It doesn't have to be a personal story. I will share one of my scariest stories. I was 19 and was staying in a house where there were 3 boys. These boys were drug addicts, but I didn't know it until I stayed there. They invited other people to do drugs with them. These people got violent when they got high. I witnessed an argument between a couple of them which ended up in a situation where the one boy passed out because his heart was beating too fast. He passed out. We had to take him to the hospital. I think he learned his lesson, because now he is a doctor advocating against drug use
That must of been scary. Not fair either. Pausing, the scariest thing for me, since there are so many, would be when I got hit by a car riding my bicycle. It knocked the breath out of me. I got up starting jogging trying to find it. It wasn't coming back. The driver and his friend just watched me - teens. I'm sure their pants were wet by then. No cells in those days, When blackness began to overtake me I fell to the ground. Awakening, breathing (TG) they were no where to be found. My wheel was bent and I had to kinda' carry the bike. It was about 11pm or so. Got home told my dad about it. Then I got really scared. He was going to go look for 'em. But, mom calmed him down. I had just graduated high school coming home from my job. Wow! Great therapy rlaha - thanks!
I think it was when we were robbed here in our home in Brazil. There were three masked men. One held my husband down on the ground with a gun to his head and the other led me around the house with a knife at my throat. The third was rummaging through our belongings.
Two years have passed and for months after we didn't feel comfortable going outside our house after dark. I slept for months with a crowbar under my bed and knives under my pillow. Now we are much better but there is still a feeling of alertness on our part. I don't know if we will ever feel completely at ease.
I still have the knives close at hand at night and we have dogs as well. It wasn't the welcome we wanted to Brazil but I am glad we didn't decide to return to Britain. I won't allow three yobs to steal my dream.
I was outside on the deck late one night and heard something. I walked towards the sound, yeah, I did what stupid people do in scary movies, and I peered over the railing. The light was very dim here and I thought I heard someone whisper and thought I saw a hand. Well, I high-tailed it back inside, calmed down, and got a flashlight. I kept telling myself that there was no way someone was sitting on the ground beside my deck. My hair was practically standing on end as I made my way back to the railing. In a big show of courage I turned on the flashlight and jabbed it at the whispery hand only to find a scared possum. I felt foolish and relieved! Needless to say, I was up almost all night after that with all that adrenaline pumping through my body!
I had a burglar break into my hotel room in NYC while I was sleeping. I woke to see him entering my bedroom. Screaming really does work!

What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you?It happened one day or one night. You still think about it. Maybe you have nightmares about it. It's on your mind all the time. What is that fear? What happened?

My scariest thing was discovering my down syndrome son had just swallowed a pinball and a dime. I immediately called 911. He ended up being okay, and has never done it since. That was when he was younger. It was one of the most scary moments he put me through.
