Scariest experience

What has been your scariest experience?





Theres two things that are way up on the list of my scariest experiences.

I was like 16 or 17 and had never seen any animal or person have a seizure before. Shayne and I had been riding our bikes and had just gotten home. We were about to walk in the door when Tobie started crazily running around the yard and into everything. She wouldnt stop shaking. Shayne ran in to get mom and all I could do was stand there screaming Tobie's name. By the time mom got out there Tobie had settled down and was able to walk into the house. After that she wasnt the same for a while but eventually came around. Since then she's had at least one seizure a year. Last year she had probably 5 or 6. Now when it happens I dont freak out and it doesnt scare me, just worries me.

The 2nd thing would be when someone broke into my grandma and grandpa's house a couple years ago. We were all on the back porch in the middle of the afternoon and my little sister saw someone through the door in the kitchen. When mom went in the front door was closing. Yeah, that was pretty scary. Just minutes before we had went outside. I had a feeling that I should have locked the front door when grandma closed it but I didnt. I wish I had listened to that feeling and locked it..but you never think of someone breaking into a house in the middle of the day.

I have to say, I've been pretty lucky and haven't had many bad experiences, but there are a couple that really put a fright in me:

1) Driving on a curvy country road late at night when it was raining, I went around a corner too fast and when I hit the brakes, my Jeep slid out of the road. It ended up about three feet from the edge of a bank, which was about a 50 foot drop if I'd gone over. I've never been in a wreck or anything like that, so that freaked me out pretty good.

2) Me and my friends were hiking near and climbing on some waterfalls. On the side of one set of falls, you had to either climb down about 20 feet on steep, wet rock, or scale the side of a cliff on a foot-wide ledge. I was scaling the ledge and there was a small tree with a branch sticking out about waist high that you hand to climb over. I grabbed the branch and was about to step over when I happened to look at the end of it and see a huge copperhead curled up hissing at me on it a couple of feet away. Needless to say I backed away ASAP, but my heart was about to pound out of my chest. Copperheads are very venomous and a bit could possibly kill someone within an hour. We were about a 30 minute hike from our vehicles and then a 30 minute drive from the hospital...could've been real bad.

I was working for a tractor manufacturer one summer and was working on a lathe...my pointer finger got caught and cut really bad...ripped it up pretty good...still have the scars...

at the same tractor place i was with my boss's son and we were cleaning out a barn full of glass and old parts...i threw a piece of glass up in the air and it came down and hit him in the shoulder and hit an artery or big vein...there was a fountain of blood and he passed out...luckily im a Eagle Scout and was able to slow the bleeding but this kid lost a lot of blood...i did feel real bad...we made the paper the next day cuz i saved his life...

Probably when i got in my car accident, a car cliped the end of mine when they were trying to switch lanes. The person's car spun and hit my door. The person's car was a mess, and they were cut pretty bad. I ended up with a bruise on my left arm, nothing more.

Have two.

1) Couple years ago, it was raining very hard in Southern California. I was driving on the I-5 freeway. My tires had a lot of wear. Anyway, driving 80, the rear wheels lost traction, my car fishtailed across 3 lanes to the left (toward the faster lanes) on a busy freeway during lunch hour. Incredibly, nothing hit me, and I landed on the muddy section of the shoulder. Funny thing was that for like miles on the I-5, this was the only stretch that had a muddy shoulder, if I fish tailed anywhere else, I would've smacked into a concrete divider. But yeah, so I was okay, car was okay. Definitely scary.

2) I used to work for a group home for emotionally distrubed/abused kids. Very aggressive kids. Anyway, one morning, one of the kids flipped out about his waffle and started a riot with two other kids. Now these kids were 11-12. Taller/Bigger than me. (I'm a 5'7 Chinese guy built but still smaller than these kids). Anyway, It was me and two girls working, one of the kids try to come with us with a fire extinguisher, one girl and I had to hold him down trying to talk some sense into him, then the second kid charged full force at the other girl while trying to hit another kid. Then he came back and charged at us knocked us over. So the kid that was on the ground broke free and now trying to assault us. He got a hold of some girl's hair and yanked a chunk out and then successfully punched another girl. Back up came at that time and they helped with the first kid. I'm trying to keep the second kid from helping the first, he's kicking at mes, so I'm trying to protect myself at the same time, but he broke free and started choking one of the girls from behind with like a sleeper hold. I wrestled him off and me and a back up held him down. Then a third kid decided to join the riot and started ramming us over, he was smaller though and he didn't know choke holds so it wasn't so bad, the fifth staff got him and placed him in the isolation room. Lot's of injuries, kids kind of liked me so I didn't get hit too bad. Just lots of scratches and some bruises from the kicks and spat at all over.

Things calmed down for awhile, and then maybe 30 minutes later, they tried to start things again. We ended up having to call the cops. It was crazy.

There was another mini riot that same night, but I was day staff so I wasn't there for that, but one of the staff got hit in the head with a chair.

very scary at the time.

1. Was riding my 1st motorcyle way to fast because face it, I had been riding for all of 2 months and was an expert...went up a hill WAY to fast and caught air...swerved when I landed and laid the bike down. Got launched over the bike and ended up under a parked car...walked away.

2. When I lived in NH I was driving around North Conway in my BroncoII...foggy night, couldn't see real well and was driving too fast (hmmm..theme?), came around a corner and there was a bull Moose in the road. Ended up hitting him in his rear legs which spun him around and drove his antlers through the driver side door. A lot of his weight came down on my hood and windshield...totaled the Bronco...walked away again.

I have one, I am actually amazed I never was kidnapped as a kid, looking back I kinda roamed free and was often out alone at a young age.

Anyway, I think this was in 1996 or 1997. I was walking back from the park near my house and there was a group of guys hanging out in front of this town house on the corner. They had tried to get me to come over, you know like typical sketchy dude stuff. I just kept walking and went in my house (just a few houses away). Then when I looked out the window a few minutes later it was crazy, the guys on the corner were jumping this guy who lived a few doors down from me in the middle of the street and they stabbed him then fled. It really scared me at the time because I thought that I could have been the victim had I not gotten inside my house.

1. I have had this happen a couple times, I have had someone pull a knife out in a fight. Never have gotten stabbed they where to scared to use it. Good for me.
2. Anytime I have to drive down the huge hill by my house when the roads are snow covered.

Well last year was my first year snowmobiling and it was about halfway through the season so I had learned everything about the snowmobile and could operate it pretty well. My uncle, his friend and I went out on a night ride and it started off pretty clear but about 30 minutes after we left, a huge storm came in with blowing winds and a large amount of snowfall. Since I live right near New York, my uncle and I usually rode New York, but on this particular night we rode Pennsylvania trails and it was my first time on PA trails, so I was completely new to the trail. The wind was blowing so bad that there were times where I couldn't see the person in front of me so I would speed up until I could see them and I would slow down because, like I said, I really had no idea where we were going. This went on for about an hour and then there was a point where I lost the person in front of me again, so I speed up and I still don't see them. Somehow, I look quickly to the right and I see a tail light out of the corner of my eye. I slam on the breaks and my sled turns sideways. I slide for about 15 feet and come to rest about 2 feet away from a guardrail. Had I not looked to my left and saw the tail light, I would have ended up hitting the guardrail at about 30 MPH. I pretty much refuse to go on night rides anymore.

1. I was hanging out with my 18 y/o cousin (whos freaking ripped, football player) we were watching tv and playing xbox home alone. Then we heard the door open, which was weird because our parents were in Seattle for 2 more days. So my cousin grabs a baseball bat, and there was a guy in the doorway rummaging through the cubbards near the phone, he saw us and he just ran out of the door.

2. I was sleeping over at one of my friends house (he lives in a terrible neighborhood and doesn't have locks , till now) and he got up to go to the bathroom and he comes running back into the room and wakes me up and says theres someone in his bathroom . So we both get up and theres a guy going through their medicine cabinet, we both walk out there and he sees us and his eyes got huge, he stole my friends ADHD medicine, which is expensive and ran out the door.

3. I was 12 years old at the swimming pool, and all my friends dared me to dive into the deep end (10 ft deep) so i did and i was so focused on touching the bottom of the pool, i didn't realize i needed to take a breath. So i touch the ground and i looked up and i was still WAY far away from the surface i was so scared i thought i was gonna die, when i got out of the pool i was gasping for breath.... I honestly thought i was gonna die.

4. I was playing HS baseball on varsity for one game as a freshman, we were playing in a tournament against a team who had a pitcher who throws 94 mph and has a scholarship to college already. I had to bat against him it was crazy. I knicked one, but just didn't see any pitching that fast and struck out.
