What caused you to scream in mindless terror?

r/

Have you ever been so frightened you lost all composure and screamed bloody murder? Was it a jump scare? What happened? Who heard you?

    Stubbed my toe. Cursed like a sailor. Mama Krabs heard me and now I’m doing a hard day’s work.

    No, I’m one of those who gets silent at times others scream. And I’ve come frighteningly close to hurting people who’ve tried to “jump scare“ me. Yelled at them a minute later when I realized how close I came to punching them in the face.

    I have had exactly one anxiety attack however. Scariest half hour of my life, thought I was dying. Hardly made a sound though, just stalked around like a caged bull, heart racing, sweating, dizzy…

    When I was a kid, I did an outdoor ropes course with a rock wall at the end. To descend from the rock wall, you had to switch your harness over to this 150’ cable in order to swing over the edge of a cliff. Remember, I was a child. The teenager who hooked me up to the cable was a douche. He faked me out and basically threw me off the cliff, which was fine because… you know… I was attached to a giant ass cable, but I truly thought I wasn’t attached. He just, like, picked me up and chucked me. My memory kinda blacks out, but at the bottom of the swing, I came to my senses. Dozens of people told me I’d screamed like a dying animal and they thought I was hurt.

    I also screamed at the theater once. The movie was “The Ring 2” and I was like,… 15? There’s this moment when the lead actress sneaks into an ambulance to look inside a body bag, and she has a ghostly encounter. No big deal, right? Dude… a friend in the row behind me grabbed my shoulder to ask me a question, and I fkn SCREAMED. A full-on, jaw-dropped, “r’AaAHhHH?!!” Like, I didn’t even know I was screaming until I was like, “Who tf is that?!”

    Opening my shop only to find a near 6 foot spotted snake laying inside the work area where I turn off my alarm. To this day how it got inside is a mystery, but I just let the alarm go off and called the cops.
