what was the scariest nightmare you've ever had?
469614
I dreamed that I was watching some people being tortured, and a woman was having her tongue torn out. Meanwhile, three men were beheaded in front of me, and another was having his brains slowly and literally scrambled. \n\nThen the whole scene changed, and I dreamed that I was at some sort of farm. I went alone into a large room that had a big silver vat in it. Suddenly some machinery started moving, and a black hog was pulled into the room, hanging upside down by its heels. Then it was dropped, fully alive, into the silver vat, which contained boiling oil. The animal was being fried alive, kicking and screaming. I could hear its hooves scraping on the bottom and sides of the vat as it tried in vain to escape. It was jumping up and down and shrieking. Smoke was pouring out its eyes, nose, mouth, and the pores of the skin. It was utterly horrifying. I opened a door and went running out of the building, with the sound of the screaming hog still pounding in my ears. Then I abruptly woke up in a pool of sweat.

When i was about 12 i was bunking off school when i heard some banging, I looked out of my bedroom window to see 2 men kicking my next door neighbours door in.\nI was so scared i didn't know what to do we didn't have a phone back then.\nI ran to a friends house and stayed with her mom until the police came. \nThe scariest thing was i knew 1 of the men and he was big trouble.\nLuckily he was caught and sent to prison and i didn't end up gettin a kickin. \nFor a good while after i didn't want to be alone in the house but i got over that with time.

The original "The Haunting" circa 1963.  It was scary because it didn't really rely much on visual special effects but on sound.  \nOr The Shinning, that sheeot creeped me out, especially the fellating bear suit people

Three nightmares tie for worst, in different ways:\n1 I was renting a one room cabin in a camping area, and my mother calls me from her cabin she rented and says, make sure you lock your screen door so it doesn't bang with the wind all night, and when I go to the door and open the solid door a wolf jumped at my face.\n2 The one that my husband looked me straight in the eyes and said " I don't love you anymore"\n3 The one of my granny crying and telling me how much she missed my deceased grandfather, and that she just wanted to go be with him.

Well, not that this would answer your question directly, it reminded me of one of the freakiest things that ever happened to me.  My best bud from high school was with me at some orchestral event for some sort of choral competition --I know corny but whatever.  Anyway, we both propped our legs up and were snoozing in the balcony.  I had this dream where I got into an elevator and there were some random people.  We went up a few floors and when the door opened my buddy was there and stepped in.  Anyway we're joking around in the elevator when this lady starts chastising us about being rude and right in the middle we hear the cables snap and the elevator start falling out of control.  Then BAM, I wake up out of the dream with a scream (which pissed a lot of folks off becasue we were at the concert) and I realized that my buddy woke up at the exact same time.  He turned to me and said "Were you dreaming about the elevator?"  And we were freaking out and ticking off our neighbors for the rest of show.  \n\nFreaky as crap but true.  I made some notes to work it into a screenplay of mine but I swear it really happened and I'm not usually the gullable or "spiritualistic" type.  You've inspired me to start looking into if other people have had similar experiences. :P

I dreamt of the Tsunami days before it came out.\n\nAnother one was scarier.\nI dreamt of my own death which happened at my school. I woke up at 4am, went out to take a bus and saw a schoolmate sitting at the front seat, then went to school where there were blueish lights all shining, went up to my classroom and saw an empty room with 2 seats and a table inside, a classmate came up to me and asked me if I knew the classroom has been moved to the 3rd floor. Later at recess, I went out of the classroom with 2 of my friends in front, slipped and fell to my death over the balcony.\nNow the scary part.\nI woke up after that dream, it was exactly 4am. I dressed up, tried to take my time and went out to take a bus, even deliberately missing a bus. Even then, I saw that same schoolmate in the same dream there, sitting in the exact front seat as he was in the dream.\nI went to school, it was quite dark (Where i was we went to sch by 6.30am), and the lights were blueish in colour.\nI went to my classroom, praying that i'd see everything in normal order.\nMy heart skipped a beat when I saw the classroom empty, with 2 chairs and a table inside. A friend came, the same one in my dream, and I asked her, "Don't tell me,the class was moved up to the 4th floor."\nShe was very surprised, because i was absent from school the previous day and apparently no one had told me about the change.\nI couldn't concentrate during the entire class, till recess. I waited till those 2 went out, and went from a different door (the classrooms have 2 doors), being extremely careful of my steps.\nEverything was according to my dream, just that I didn't die.\nIt was so freaky. I was really disturbed.\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)

I always dream of a giant fish jumping up out of the local river, ever since i was a child iv always dreamt this, but not for a while...\n\nMy freakiest was when my parents and my oldest brother were staying in cabin in the woods. I excitedly ran into my bedroom and there was blood all over one side of the walls....being freaked out i went into my parents room but they were nowhere to be seen. So I went into the sitting room and my brother was watching the television. I said to him 'Theres blood on my walls and mam and dad are missing' Right then my brother grabbed me and bit my neck! \n\nThen I woke up terrified and in a sweat. For about 2 weeks after this I was scared sh*itless of him and couldnt even look him in the eye!

I was once caught alone in a snowstorm on a glacier in the Beartooth mountains in Montana.  After spending a long night\nin a makeshift shelter I tried to hike out the next day using map and compass with visibility about 10 feet.  At one point  I climbed quite high on the glacier and stopped to survey the situation.  When I put my hand back to prop myself up--\nnothing there!  I was at the top of a cornice at the edge of a 300 foot cliff.   Never been so scared in my life.  My heart didn't stop pounding for 20 minutes.

As long as you're not getting dizzy when you're awake then it was probably just a nightmare.

Are you going to analyze?? If so, I've got one that'll give you nightmares!\n\nK. I had this dream years ago and it scared the hell out of me! I was in this huge, beautiful house with windows from the marble floor to the 24 ft. ceilings. I lived there with a few roommates but they were out for the night. It was dark out and the only light I had on was the television. Sitting on the sofa, I saw a glimmer of light in the sky out of the window about twenty ft. to my left. I knew it wasn't a star by the brightness, but I couldn't figure out what it was. I stood up and walked over to the window. The bright light grew bigger as if it were coming toward me quickly, but it was obviously many miles away. \n\nI kept watch and after about 90 seconds, I realized that it was heading right for my house! I panicked and couldn't figure out where to go due to the fact that I couldn't estimate its size. All the sudden, SMASH!!! Huge explosion! My natural reaction was to get on the floor and cover my head. When I realized that I was still alive, I looked up.\n\nIt was a fighter jet and it was lodged into the walls of the corridor. I couldn't believe it! Dry wall was everywhere, the smoke was blinding and sticking to my throat, but I had to investigate. \n\nI slowly walked over to the craft and I remember ducking under it and when I came out on the opposite side, in my periferal vision, was the pilot. He too was lodged in the wall, dead. I refused to look at him, so I just tried to keep moving down the hall, but as I passed him, his helmet fell onto my head. I flipped out! I threw the helmet off of me, completely grossed out, and then as I ran my fingers through my hair, I felt something. I pulled from my hair, a chunk of bloody flesh from the pilots scalp. Again, I freaked!\n\nWhat made me gain my composure was this extremely bright, white light consuming a window at the end of this hallway. I slowly approached it, with a lot of apprehension and then all the sudden, a figure appeared. It was a girl sitting indian-style on the window sill. The white light behind her made her look angelic, not to mention the fact that she was wearing white! Finally, I recognized her. Her name was Monique, and she had been a friend of mine in highschool. We lost contact after she became involved with an abusive boyfriend. It had been many years since I had seen her. Anyway, she's sitting in the window with all this white light around her, and she asks me to come closer to her. I refused. I just had a bad feeling about it. Really hesitant and scared like if I go, I may not come back! That's when I woke up.

I am a Paranormal Investigator, so I've definatley had experiences in that capacity.  I also grew up in a house that had some strange "goings on."\n\nHere are just a few of my experiences:\n\n** When I was a little girl my bedroom was downstairs by the staircase going up.  I hated to sleep with the bedroom door open because I would hear strange noises coming from the kitchen and the staircase.  I made my Mom move my bed to the wall opposite the staircase because I would swear that something was standing on the stairs and trying to reach through the wall to get me.  Granted, I was 6 years old at the time.  But I remember very clearly one night in particular.  I was deeply asleep when the bed started to shake.  I woke up and yanked the covers over my head.  I lifted up a corner to glance out and saw a black hand reach up towards me.  The hand put one finger at a time on my blanket until four long, pointy black fingers were within inches of my nose.  I was so scared I couldn't even breathe.  Suddenly the hand yanks on the covers.  I yanked back and screamed with all my might.  My parents came running and finding me sitting up and screaming for help, tried to convince me I had a nightmare.  To this day I don't know if it really happened, but even just thinking about it gives me the willies.\n\n** When I was about 17 my parents went away over night.  I was in command of the house for a full 48 hours and was thrilled.  I borrowed a bunch of movies, popped some popcorn, and settled in for a night of relaxation.  Halfway into the first movie I heard a strange scraping noise coming from the front window.  I turned my head and watched in horror as the window slowly opened.  My rational self was telling me the window was unlocked and probably warped, so not to worry.  My rational self quickly gave up that opinion when the window slammed shut very quickly.  My reaction probably would have been funny had someone been around to see it.\n\n** One night at my aunt's house, at least 9 of my family members and I were sitting around the dining room table playing Taboo!, which is an extremely loud game to play.  Suddenly all of us became quiet at the same time.  Footsteps could be clearly heard from the floor above us, but everyone in the house was around the table.  Somehow I was elected to go check it out.  As I'm walking up the steps a blast of cold air comes by me and the bathroom door at the top of the stairs slams closed.\n\n** While staying over night in a haunted B&B with several fellow investigators, my roomie and I very clearly heard the sound of snoring in the room.  We walked around to every room in the building, but could not find the source of the snoring.  Once back in the room the snoring ghost continued to keep us company for several minutes.\n\n** During the course of a paranormal investigation of a private residence I said to the homeowners, "We haven't been able to find anything yet tonight."  Immediately after that we heard several loud bangs on the ceiling over our heads.  We were on the second floor and everyone in the house was within my line of sight.
