Most Frightening Moments

well compared to most of these storied this is absolutely nothing but I will put it on here anyway becasue I feel like it :o) Well I was playing out with my friends as I do as we were very tired at the end of the day so we started to go home. We came out of tesco and then we went to the crossing. I couldn't see any cars so I went out. It was dark and I saw a car light. i looked to my left and then I saw a car really close me and my heart just thudded so so hard against my chest, I felt like my heart was stopping me from breathing. Then I felt my arm being tugged as my friend pulled me back really fast. I tripped but I was on the pavement. It was my most scary ...  Read the complete review

Whilst I have had many scary experiences in my life there are three that really stick out in my mind. Out of these one was an actual near death experience, one I was very lucky and the other I was fine although I thought my time was up, as follows: 1) Waxham Beach, Norfolk I can't remember the year but I must have been about twelve or thirteen, so around 1993 - 1994.

Oh this one is so easy! Bear with me though, because this isn't a short opinion. The most frightening experience I have ever had - I have to say, not too many of them to choose from but a flight I took from Tunisia to the UK has to be at Numero Uno, no question about it. I'd booked a holiday in Tunisia, nice hot sun, a bit of local colour, a couple of days visiting the Sahara, a dream come true. And so it was, until it was time to come home, and come back down to earth with a bang. Little did I know just how appropriate this expression would be!! Okay, yes it was a wonderful holiday, a superb place to visit, long hot days, lazy nights and ...  Read the complete review
