The scariest post out of all of these

During Co Vid lockdown... 9 pm ...doorbell rings. I'm not expecting anyone ... I approach the front door and ...I turn on the outside light and look through the spy hole in the door ... nothing in view. I put the chain on the door and slowly open the door. There is a paper bag on the ground and no one in sight. I grabbed the bag and scurried back inside. Two burgers and two bags of fries in bag.
I'm Vegan.

I grew up overseas in Turkey and Japan. In Turkey, we lived in a small fishing village called Sinop. It was on a harbor of the Black Sea. This takes place on New Years Eve 1991. We were expecting a blizzard to come in on New Years Day. Therefore, the ships had come in and anchored to ride out the storm the day/night before.

My parents had gone up to the base (Army/Navy base) to celebrate the new year coming in. I was only 15, so I stayed home with the dog and cats. Keep in mind, the storm hadn't started yet.

I was sitting in the living room that faced the harbor, waiting to ring in the new year with my cat. I was watching a movie and eating my snacks as the time ticked down. All was quiet, except for the occasional snow flurries that were drifting.

A few minutes before midnight, the animals started acting weird. The dog just kept barking at this one corner and the cats were all stalking around with poof tails. I didn't see anything to freak them out, so I just ignored them.

Until midnight hit.

As soon as it ticked 12:00AM, all the ships in the harbor started blowing their horns to ring in the new year. As soon as that started, the horrendous wind came out of NOWHERE! It actually blew all the windows and balcony door open! Swept through the entire! The cats freaked, the dog lost its s**t and I was officially freaked out!

Soon as it turned 12:01, it stopped. Everything just went completely quiet. Not a sound and the animals just went on about their business.

Needless to say, I immediately called my parents and made them come home!

When I was in my early teens I was left home alone for the first time. I had a big family and had literally never been alone. I had always shared a bedroom with at least one sibling and usually two or more. My entire family had gone across country for a week and I was left behind because I had summer school due to missing half the school year. I think it was on the first night that while checking that all doors and windows were locked and lights out that I head an unfamiliar voice say my name from a room that I had already checked. I was so scared that I slept in the family room with the lights on and the biggest knife I could find under my pillow. I still don't know if I actually heard it or if it was my paranoid imagination.

Can people actually hallucinate because of their imagination? I know I can smell smells from imagining them, but I don’t actually see things or physically hear things from imagining them.

My brother's first grand-mal seizure. I was up all the previous night, because sleep has issues with me, and I was dealing with a cold-caller, when my brother gave out a loud, half-strangled moan, (known as a tonic moan or ictal cry). He then started seizing and fell off the couch and smashed his head on the floor. I was so confused as he had exhibited no signs of epilepsy before, although I admit that I was ignorant of such signs at the time. I didn't know what to do, so I called my mum (she worked as a receptionist at a medical practice) so she recognised a seizure was occuring and knew what to do, but it was clear that she was freaked out, too.
She called for an amulance and he was taken to hospital. I visited him there and he did have another seizure. It was so scary, I didn't know what the hell was going on or what to expect. Couldn't sleep for two nights straight. Took him a while to be diagnosed with tonic-chronic epilepsy. He is doing well and managing his meds well enough, though he will always have the occasional seizure. Another scary part is his post-ictal psychosis, but I'm getting used to it. The first time was scary enough though. Never heard him scream like that. Could have been surrounded by all the demons of Hell, the way he was screaming and thrashing.

My best friend has epilepsy. It suck to witness one knowing there is nothing you can do.

When I was a teenager, someone broke into my home - while I was there. My little sister noticed the noises first. We locked ourselves in our parents bedroom until the police got there. They found out the person, who had a large footprint, had gotten into a downstairs window. I didn't totally freak out until after the police left. Of course my parents sped home.

I was home alone one day on my day off playing video games. Someone came and knocked on my door and I didn't answer it because I thought it was my annoying neighbor. When the person left , I looked out the window and noticed he went to a couple of other houses knocking on the doors. I figured he was selling stuff for a job.
About twenty minutes later somebody comes into my house. I was visit.
Ing my dad So I was in my brother's old bedroom. I thought at first it was one of my brother's friends. But then quickly realized that my brother's older.I always seem as way younger because he's my little brother.
The eighteen or nineteen year old kid had a big screwdriver in his hand. The kind you used to work on cars to reach tight spaces. He immediately kept asking me for cash. I didn't have anything on me.
My puggle dog What's going nuts in barking at him and He told me to make the dog stop barking or he was going to kill him. I literally had nothing to give this kid.
My father is a gun collector and he had a gun in the other Is room laying out to be cleaned. I had to make a decision and it bothers me to this day. I told the kid that there was a gun in the other room and I would give it to him.
It was a split second and I didn't want to give it to him but I had nothing else to give him.
He put his arms around me And walk me to the next room with the screw driver placed into my back.
I told him there was a gun on the lower shelf and he told me to go grab it. I then told him no you grab it. And as he went to grab and I pushed him down and then ran out of the house screaming.
I kept screaming call 911 and then saw two men at my neighbor's house in ranover to them. I told.
Them they needed to call the police and they just hand me their cellphone and then walked away.
After this robbery , I was enabled to go outside for almost two years. I have really bad PTSD in a completely changed.Who I am fundamentally.
I used to be the kind of girl that takes care of myself.I grew up a New York.I never was scared of anything. All of a sudden the blinds being open terrified me. Going outside terrified me, being around men terrified me.
It has been over ten years and loud noises make me jump. It just was the worst thing that ever happened to me. He could have stabbed me with that screwdriver and it would have killed me. .
