Now this thread has potential to get bad, but thought it'd be fun to see what you guys have experienced that was scary. For me, I don't believe in this stuff too much but on New Years Eve I was sitting on the couch at my aunts house. Now my grandmother passed away in June of 2013 and was a very spiritual person. My aunt said that she feels her in that house more than any place she's lived. Well, back to the story I look up and the Christmas tree just shakes like somebody was physically grabbing it and shaking the branch. Weirdest and definitely the scariest thing I have ever experienced. Definitely feel that it was her and announcing her presence. The other one was when my 1 year old daughter (now 3) seized while having a high fever. Scared the ish out of me.

It was a squirrel in the tree, nothing less nothing more.
Sitting down in a public bathroom stall for a deuce, and then hearing women's voices walking though the door

Woke up with a horrible hangover and saw what looked like a giant curtain covering a battleship ask me how I was doing. Then I saw her underwear in the floor. I thought it was a comforter at first...
Rafters humor and paddock humor are different animals, dude.
Almost drowned while surfing in 2013 and I also saw a shark while surfing later that year. That was the scariest to me. It wasn't a Great White but you learn the difference between a dolphin fin and a shark fin rather quickly and that was a shark fin that popped up about 20 yards from me.
Total panic mode to get back to shore.

I always see Rafters as the Nickelback/Big Bang Theory of life.
Thought some ***** gave me AIDs in 2000.
You can't stop there. Take us through the process. Why did you think that? How did you feel getting that test? And how trashy of a name did she have? I'm going with Tammy or Rebecca.
Stacy,Ex stripper, 22 yr old girl with 3 kids. Picked her up at a bar in Lexington. Knew of her. She's kinda hot, slutty as hell and ready to pound. Ended up taking her back to my place at South Limestone Square Apartments. Popped that *** good. A week later I was at that same bar and my buddy Blue who plays in the band Lucid Grey asked me if I took that girl home and banged her. Of course I said yes. he looks me dead in the eye without a smirk and said "Man, did you wear a rubber?" I said "No". He says all sternly "Man, she has AIDs".
I looked at him. Thought he was kidding. He was as serious as dick cancer when he told me that. So I freaked the hell out and went down to Lexington Health clinic and got that AIDS test. They said it was negative, but they said I may not even know for years. I lived in panic for about 3 months before I ran into Blue again and he looks at me all smiling "Man, I was just kidding".
Of course I was in home invasion that had me in the execution position with a gun to the back of my head (told that one on here before).

Well, thanks for killing every story I could ever tell now, dick.

You could be a virgin and still be terrified waiting for that HIV test results to come back. I think most guys experienced that in their 20s.
Getting a gun pulled on you is pretty wild.
Damn near drowned twice before the age of 7 and remember both instances like yesterday.
Had a gun pulled on me and shot at me a week before shipping off to boot-camp (also involved a road being blocked off with state troopers and sheriffs office)
Traveling down the side of a Volcano when the breaks go out on your island beater is no fun either.

Yeah they put both my wife and I into the execution position facing our master bedroom wall. I thought it was over.
They didn't pull the trigger and a few moments later. While one guy had a gun to the back of my head, the other guy had taken my wife's robe off and was dancing around her naked body. Pretty surreal. I couldn't do anything with a gun to the back of my head. They didn't rape her.
They put us in our master bedroom closet and tied us up. Said to count to 100 slow and then come out. They got $165 bucks. I told those robbers that I was broke and had bad credit.
Damn. Id imagine you're either very, very quiet, or you flip your **** and maybe die trying to save yourself.
Did they think you had money or was this totally random crazy *** circumstance?
Did you want revenge?

Robbed at knife-point for $50 in a drug-deal-that-never-was in Panama City Beach as a high school senior.
Moral or the story: Don't smoke all your weed in 3 days and then drunkenly ask random dudes to help you score some smoke.

Climbing back from on top Chimney Top Rock was pretty F-ing scary. Bad choice to have climbed out there.
When my oldest was about a year old I had an incredibly realistic nightmare. I dreamed she was walking along a pier, I was following her, and she fell off the end. I jumped in after. I could see her sinking further and further and I couldn't reach her. Finally she totally disappeared into the darkness of deep water. I sat straight up in bed screaming and cried and shook for at least a full minute. Scared the crap out of my then-wife. May not count since it wasn't real, but was still very terrifying.

Same as every guy, college girlfriend was late having her period.
Many years ago myself and my best friend decided to grow some weed along the river banks.
He had a nice pleasure boat for transportation needs.
I started about a hundred little seedlings put then in the back of the boat and off we went.
It was springtime and the river was up and current running fast.
We pulled into the bank in a couple of spots and checked out the sties and would plant a couple of seedlings at each spot.
At one place I failed to tie up the boat and while we were up the bank the boat drifted off. We could see it far down the river going out of site.
For about a hour we were in a hell of a panic. We were in middle of nowhere. Had no ideal how we were going to get out of this. Knowing at some point the boat was going to be found with all the weed plants in the floor.
All of a sudden here comes a old man in a fishing boat holding the rope that was tied on the boat.
He saw us waving like hell and brought the boat over to us.
He never even got out of his boat just pulled up handed the rope and waved good bye.
I have forever given GOD credit for this miracle to happen. I have no doubt I would have served some serious time if that old man hadn't found our boat first. Now some 25 years later when my friend and I talk about this we both still get cold chills.

2 for me
Few years ago I had the flu, and then massive heart burn kicked in. I mean massive. At the time I had no idea it was heart burn, it was like no heart burn I've ever experienced. The pain was so severe that even have the heartburn subsided, the pain lingered for over a week. I thought I was having a heart attack. It was the middle of the night, and when I got up to ask my roomie to take me to the hospital, I nearly collapsed from dehydration. I thought I was dying on the way over to the hospital.
The other was when my parents were visiting, we were pulling into the driveway after going out to eat, and the car behind us apparently was going to fast to stop in time before ramming into us. There was traffic coming the other way, so they swerved off the side of the road and went barreling through the driveway and yard. They avoided hitting us by mere inches. He was going pretty fast as it was in the 55 mph stretch of the road so if he had hit us it wouldn't have been pretty. We had put on a turn signal and had slowed down plenty far ahead so it's not like the driver was blindsided by us stomping on the brakes or anything like that.

Have had a few:
Had to do the heimlich on someone who was choking. That was scary, although in the moment I was zen. Seriously scary looking back. Also first responder on a pretty big car accident. Getting to the car was terrifying, although thankfully nobody was too badly hurt. I remember so clearly thinking 'If this guy is smeared all over the inside of the car, what the hell do I do?'
Had a school bus that was out of control skid past me and miss by a few feet. Like, literally 3 feet. People talk about your life flashing in front of your eyes? All I saw was bright yellow flashing in front of my eyes. A lot of people saw it, and everyone was really freaked out when talking to me... lots of big wide open eyes.
Ran into a barracuda while diving. Its face was... maybe a foot away from mine? Not fun.
Recently woke up unable to breath. Lasted for maybe a minute. No idea what in the hell it was... got out of bed, tried to heimlich myself... eventually I just puked and was fine.
Life is fun.

Too much Hallmark Channel while sleeping in our wife's yoga pants. Try hammering with some tools and mixing up some concrete before you go to sleep naked with only your socks on... and put away the Chai Tea and eyelid cream there, Hulk Hogan.
Choked on a bite of steak in a crowded restaurant. I really thought I was a goner. Got up and began walking around the restaurant (rather calmly, actually) not knowing what to do, and my exact thought at that moment was: "Wow, this is sure an embarrassing way to die." But it somehow came out (I have no idea how) and flopped out on the floor. That was about 35 years ago, but even today, when eating a steak, I always say, "Uh, better cut that piece just a little bit smaller to be safe."
*I had a BIL who actually choked to death on a peanut as a teenager. Wouldn't think that could be possible but it happened.

I'd hate to have an embarrassing way to die like the one you mentioned. No one wants to be the guy that dies falling off a cliff while taking a selfie or texting only to be laughed at forever.
Choking is SO ******* scary. You have enough time to realize "Oh no, oh no, oh no..."
Ugh. I hate choking so, so much.
1.) Saw someone fall off the Grand Teton in Wyoming while ice climbing prior to our group making the climb. Almost backed out of the trek after that incident alone. Frightening.
2.) Getting shot at. Left Rupp Arena in October of '94 with 3 friends looking for a party and some thugs followed us from Palomar Center all the way to the intersection of Tates Creek/Wilson-Downing. Bullet hit the back of my truck and one bullet went in front of my face and over my head while I was going nearly 85 on TC Road. Shooter's vehicle was in the left lane, I was in the right. Had I not ducked below the window, probably wouldn't be alive today. Granted it was a small 25-caliber pistol, but at close distance, could have done a lot of damage. Veered off on Wilson-Downing and almost flipped the vehicle in the process during the sharp turn.....never had a chance to get the license plate number of the perpetrators.
Lexington police did a fantastic job in not finding the suspects and downplayed it by saying "this kind of stuff happens all of time". /worstpolicedepartmentever

I did the same thing alone at my house a few weeks ago. I was eating leftover steak and got a piece hung in my throat. I got it out in probably 15 seconds, but I felt like I was a goner.
I make it a yearly habit to choke on my what's left of orange peels when the juice is gone. I don't know how that's possible but I manage.
Onr time I did it in line at Disneyland. i has to choose between vomiting up orange bile in line for space mountain or choking to death on an orange slice in line for space mountain.
Would have been a killer headline.
