(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); As the title says, what would you regard as a very terrifying experience or encounter? For me, when I was 12-13 my Uncle was robbed at gun point at his house close to mine about 2 minutes away. I couldn't sleep for months knowing that someone with intentions to harm, was still out in public. Very traumatizing.

Going about 45 mph with a long board on a closed course, seeing a car pull out in front of you and there's nothing to do.. Amazingly I only suffered from road rash and a mild concussion.

When I was a younger kid and I went on the Disney Cruise. Those fucking chipmunks scared the HELL out of me.

When I got negged for the first time was pretty terrifying. I'll never be the same.

When I was younger I went to an alternative school and my second year there, two new kids joined. They assaulted me for weeks on end and I was so scared to go back because it seemed like none of the adults knew what to do about it. I would have nightmares and cry myself to sleep sometimes, and it was so tough for my parents. Went to the police, but they didn't have enough evidence even though an entire class saw it happen along with the teachers. Eventually one of the students (of the two) that did it to me came forward and said the other student assaulted her too, so her case went to court even though there were only two witnesses. I still get chills and am frightened, triggers are everywhere. I was fourteen at the time.
