The most scariest thing that has ever happened to me would probably be....
I was in an elevator in a high-rise building and it malfunctioned! So I was on the 2nd floor and pressed the button to reach the 5th floor. The elevator began to make strange noises and vibrate violently. I have a fear of heights so I felt like I would faint because it began to move up and down. Thankfully, it was just a simple malfunction but my anxiety was already through the roof when I finally reached my floor.

Some friends and I was at an old abandoned Tuberculosis hospital in my city. It was at night and of course, we were not supposed to be the, it was unlawful. Well, the owner and his hired security decided to do what we didn't know was a routine security check/sweep. We were at the top of this 4 story building when they showed up. We had to quickly and quietly find our way dawn and away from the building without getting caught. That was very exhilarating and scary.

One of the scariest experiences I have had was when I was driving towards the brow of a hill on a country road late at night. The road had two lanes, one for each direction of travel. There was no pavement or hard shoulder (the "hard shoulder" on a motorway is where you can stop in an emergency, and sometimes the emergency services use that lane when there is a traffic jam). I saw two sets of lorry lights coming towards me from behind the brow of the hill, side-by-side. In other words, I could guess that a lorry was dangerously overtaking another lorry and would be unable to avoid hitting me if I stayed on the road. I had to pull off the road, into the bushes at the side of the road. The lorry coming towards me passed within about 60cm of my car. If I had not realised what was happening in those 10 or 15 seconds, I guess we would have had a head-on collision with both vehicles travelling at about 96 kmph (60 mph), and there would not have been much left of my car afterwards, let alone me.
