I was playing some handeld racing game in a car, and I crashed in the game at the exact same time the car spun out (it had been snowing) stopping about five feet in front of another car.
Two things come to mind altho the second is really scarry as much as reall really unexpected.
Firstly was when i was playing legand of zelda twilight princess and this was just before the final ice temple boss. It was the cinimatic before the fight started and the boss turned around realy fast while screaming and it had a different face on and whats worse i had been talking to it and even helping it before hand so it caught me very off gaurd.
The second would be during ressistance fall of man. A swarm of mini enemies was coming at my cousin (the player) so he through down a wall of mines and everything was going great untill a 8-10 foot enemy popped out of nowhere and steped on a mine sending it flying right past the camera. I dont know where it can from but it was a good laugh later.

In Half Life 2 Highway 17 level, when I was on the second floor of some building, searching for bullets. Suddenly, a poison headcrab thing appears behind a corner and scares the shit out of me.
I hate when zombies are somewhere they aren't supposed to be.

Dunwitch Building in Fo3, don't know if that would count but i thought that at times it was on par with Condemned 2.
There was this one time in Oblivion where I was on the Pirate ship, and there was absolutely nothing happening, I was looting the captain's quarters. As soon as I turn towards a door, a GHOST APPEARS AND SHRIEKS AND TEARS MY FACE OFF.
It was 2 in the morning. :\

Fallout 3 (these both happened today, but I haven't jumped this much in a while)
1. Point Lookout- when you get knoced out
2. Comic book store (in fallout 3)- They have like 50 different traps in there ranging from not scarry (Baseball pitching machines) to jump out of your chair scarry (baby cribs that cry and blow up, grenades that fall from the celing and blow up without you realising the grenades were there before that.)

and you pick up all of the different "bubble heads". Then, this saw appears and is just randomly sawing the ground in front of you, then you hear the sounds of a baby, and bombs are falling all around you. Then, you see a skeleton whos name is "Mom". You hear the heart rate thing (I forget the term for it) beep beep beep beeeeeeeeeep (Aka she died). Then you pick up a bubblehead that says "Blech. If my kid looked like that, I'd abandon it to." (That kinda pissed me off a bit) Then you walk up to a lake and dead bodies are rising up all around you. (It really freaked me out when I saw people that I had killed earlier) Then you see Mr. Burke standing by the megaton bomb, and when you walk up he doesn't have his normal voice. He talks to you for a second and then the bomb blows up and it's over.

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl is a good start - I used this realism-based mod to make nights extra dark and wounds extra deadly. Anyway, I was wandering through some radioactive wasteland when a blowout occurred - and I had no idea what a blowout was, much less what it looked like.
Here's one - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tJXesjCKxA&feature=related
Basically, if you don't get to shelter in time you get fucked and die. And I was in the middle of nowhere, ages from anyone else. So I started running, spotted a group of fellow Stalkers huddling around a fire in a bus shelter, and ran to there. After a minute the blowout stopped and it was pitch black, with monsters running around everywhere. It was especially frightening when you're huddled in a corner with the panting of a horde of mutants surrounding you.

There were two moments in the original Doom back in 1995 that genuinely scared me. The first was in E1M8 when the Barons of Hell (the end boss for the first episode) were revealed.
The second was, of course, the Spiderdemon in E3M8. You have to remember, I had no idea what to expect; this was years before I finally got on the 'net, so all I knew as the level began was that I was in for the boss fight to end all boss fights.
Ironic, really, considering the Spiderdemon seems much easier to kill than the Cyberdemon.
