What was the scariest moment in your life?

[whoops1995]

Mine was once when i was little i was sledding(sleying? whatever) So I was sledding down the steepest hill in our town and instead of a sled I had a disc. If you don't know what that is, it's a plastic sircle with no steering,spins so you can't see where you're going, and has insane amounts of speed compared to a sled. So I was going down the hill and the disk did a 180. Now something you should know about this hill was, it's next to a park. So I'm down at like 20mph(sorry to all the Non-Americans out there, I'm guessing that's about 47kph?) so going down the hill and keep in mind I can't steer. halfway down i notice a bench about five feet away from me. So at about 1 foot i duck and the bench just scrapes my chin. looking back on it, if i hadn,t ducked or been a little bigger I'm guessing i could have completely busted my jaw or had serious head injury.

i think this is a thread already. but regardless. I had a guy almost break into our house. I was on the couch, half awake, when i heard noises from the window. I looked over to see a silouhette (however its spelled) of a guy trying to pry open the window. So i slowly turned on some lights, saw a dude in all black. He turned and hauled ass out of the yard. Apparently, there had been a neighborhood burglar who was hitting houses no more than 3 down from mine. Scary stuff.

Well, when I was very young, my brother and I were playing around a church. I fell over backwards and hit my head on the corner of the foundation. My head instantly began to expel vast amounts of blood. Mind you, this wouldn't be that bad normally, but we were in the middle of nowhere in Argentina, on the outskirts of a small town.

There was a water pump nearby, so the best we could do was rinse the wound a whole lot. Fortunately I am pretty much intact now.

This thread should be retitled "When Natural Selection Fails".

I'm pretty sure this is an original thread becuase i looked it up first...

One time my sister forced me to come along because some guy had gotten completely smashed at a party and was threatening with murder by knife. It was night and this guy looked like a psychopath there he winced, knife in hand and very shirtless (he had consumed a terribly powerful brand of alcohol, 60-ish% or something in a finger-sized glass). The moment my sister was trying to negotiate with this psychopath and she turned around and waved for us to drive off, the psycho was running towards us.

Imagine me right there in the back seat, thinking "I'm about to die...".

Fortunately I am pretty much intact now.

Pretty much?

It'd have to be when the plane I was flying stalled. We (me and the instructor) were doing loops and the engine just stopped. Christ. Thank god he was there to restart it, I was all over the place. We were below the cloud layer, 7000 feet. That doesn't leave much reaction time.
We landed after that.

Drowning as a 4 maybe 5 year old. I was gripped with fear and just as I thought "this is it" someone lifted me from the water.
I'm still not very fond of water.

Well my shoulder never did heal quite right after I broke it one time. It's all double-jointy and weird.

Either being mugged by a clearly insane hobo, or being attacked by a shark while surfing.

As insane as this makes me sound, it was probably when I saw what the Cherokee call a "little person". They're these people from Cherokee folklore that appear to people every now and then. They're pitch black to the point of being blacker than the color black-even when standing in broad daylight. They're not dangerous or anything and they only appear when they want you to see them. I seriously thought I was going insane when I saw one and I thought up until recently that I had just had some strange hallucination, but I know several people who have seen them and I guess they're a regular occurrence where I'm from.

Needless to say, when I was standing on my friend's porch and I saw a pitch black figure with no identifying features other than it being short, run under the street lamp not ten feet from the house and grab onto the bars of the fence and just stare at me, I freaked out.

To quote myself from the other thread...

Shortly after having sex with an ex-girlfriend of mine, she was nearly two weeks late for her period.

I was literally shitting bricks for days on end before getting the greatest phone call in my life "It started".

Thats probably the only time in my life I was happy to learn a girl was menstrauting. That was a little over a year ago.

I don't think that tops mystical Cherokee gremlins though.

Sounds... spooky. Problem is, I would have just thought it was some dumb kid running around and thrown a rock at him.

I also just realized that calling ghosts of any kind "spooks" is pretty much awesome.

I would have thought that, too, but my friend's house and the house next door (their grandparents house) were the only houses on that street, which was a dead end off the turnpike. Plus, it was around midnight and the only reason I saw it was because it ran out from the trees on the other side of the street and stood under the streetlight behind this little fence that's about waist high.

So, around last summer, I was with my dad, sister, and brother, and my dad decided to stop at a hardware store. He told us to wait in the car while he went in the store. So about 5 minutes later I was reading some crap from a book I had just gotten, and someone got in the driver's seat. I thought it was my dad because he was wearing the same color shirt as him, but then my brother said, "I think you're in the wrong car," so I looked up and it wasn't my dad. Then the guy said, "No I'm not," and both me and my brother nearly pissed our selves. He started driving the car, and I was just about to open the door and jump out when he stopped crookedly in a parking space. He got out saying, "I needed to move your car to make it safer for mine."
Probably the scariest moment in my life so far.

i was 6 years and nearly choked to death, i was 12 and fell off the house and upon landing hit my head and went unconscious, i was 16 and rolled a truck down a 30 foot embankment (without a seat belt), i was 18 and spun around in several 360's and finally stopped about 3 meters off the road in a cow pasture, and finally i was 22 and had to get out of my car and fix a flat tire on a highway. (those jackasses on that road never even moved over) so at one time one would have hit me had i not jumped onto the hood of my car to dodge it.... fun times

 

[Anarchemitis]

I think it was that time I almost plummeted down a cliff in Crowsnest Camp. Fun time, the cave was awesome that we went to thereafter.

 

[the monopoly guy]

Nearly drowning in a river. I would hate to fall of a cliff. I mean, just the wait, knowing you're going to be in hell in a few moments (whether you live or not har-har)

 

[Ares Tyr]

I think its funny that of all the times I've came near death, possible teen pregnancy is still the scariest moment in my life.

Ha.
