Could be in real life, a movie, on tv or even read about in a book and gave you bad imagery. Anything at all.

Anything haunrted you like that from childhood? If so, what?

In a book called Drugs are Cool or something like that. The main character has a job dispatching the mice that have been used in experiments. One day she smuggles one home with her...

The hills have eyes 2 is just deeply unsettling

Amityville horror, the depArted... Uk can't think off top of my head. What kind of things freak you out and I will recommend a film about that!

When I was 15 I heard a young woman being murdered.
I don't think I have ever written that down before.
I still think about her. I don't even know her name
I was working as a groom and was sleeping on my own in the box.
I didn't realise what had happened til te next day.

I heard a patient jump from the roof of our hospital (7 stories) when I was working the night shift. First on the scene with fellow nurse to witness the aftermath.

I didn't speak for about 4 days afterwards

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 04/08/2012 21:46

I wish I knew who it was. It seems important since I lost DD. I have searched but can't find anything.
I remember the press reporting on it. They made a big deal about a royal having been at the show.
Like that was more important tan te poor girl :(

SparklingGoldMedals · 04/08/2012 21:46

You see much as being held up in the bank was awful, there is a lot, lot, worse. Sad

EclecticShock · 04/08/2012 21:49

Yes actually if you've never experienced these things in real life... Dreams can be really scary. I've dreamt my dad died and really believed it as a child. I
Also had a dream recently that burglars were in my sons room. Obviously, not as bad ad the real thing but pretty unnerving.

Uppermid · 04/08/2012 21:49

Dh heard the thud of a jumper landing I. The middle of a shopping centre, really affected him for a while after, luckily the dcs and I were no where near at the time.

peeriebear · 04/08/2012 21:53

My god MrsDV :( My cousin found the body of a young woman who was murdered here in town. He was about 12-13 at the time. I thank the gods I have never had anything like that cross my path.

Poledra · 04/08/2012 21:57

Watching a car reversing towards DD1 as she crossed the road after I'd told her to cross. I hadn't realised the car was stopping at the roadside and reversing back to park. I just screamed and screamed 'Stop stop!' She did and so did the driver, who was terribly shaken, though the car didn't touch her. The thought of what could have happened if, for example, the driver's radio was on too loud to hear me screaming, can still keep me awake at night.

OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere · 04/08/2012 21:57

Having a gun held at you or even being in the same room as one - that must be horrendous.
I know someone who used to hold up banks.
I made my feelings clear to the twat when he tried to tell e it wasn't that bad because he wasn't going to shoot anyone.
Idiot
( he got 12 years btw)

Poledra · 04/08/2012 22:01

OK, mine is pretty mild compared to some - I'm glad to learn I've lived a charmed life!

peeriebear · 04/08/2012 22:02

Mine is considerably more prosaic. When I was a kid I was an avid reader and had free access to all the books in the house. I was fascinated with The Unexplained partwork series and would read them obsessively, scaring myself with all kinds of supernatural reports and stories. There was one picture that even now I can't look at though, an artist's impression of an 'alien entity' that followed a soldier upstairs to his room. It really, really had a grip on me for years and I couldn't go up stairs without getting a terror sweat.

Kahlua4me · 04/08/2012 22:05

Watched Candyman one night and did not look in a mirror for at least 2 weeks afterwards.

Dh and I were first on scene at a fatal car accident and both were very upset for a long time. Passenger in the back went through the windscreen. Dh had to smash the screen whilst talking to emergency services on phone, whilst I cared for the driver. Police were fantastic though and came round to allow us to vent our feelings

DumSpiroSpero · 04/08/2012 22:26

Some of these are really horrible in comparison.

Peerie my friend (same one I watched the film with) had a huge Arthur C Clarke Book of the Unexplained that I used to scare myself witless reading on a fairly regular basis.

Wow, some truly horrid things on here.

For me, in labour, watching DS's heart rate monitor drop, the consultants face when he came out, then seeing them take him to the resus table. He was blue and floppy and his face was so swollen. I've never seen anything worse and hope to God I never do.

Thankfully he came round pretty quickly and is fine but those moments will haunt me forever.
