Funniest Scare

[misterreplicant]

What was the funniest scare that you've been a part of, the victim of, or witnessed?
Mine is this:



One night, my entire family was watching an old play (that I did in 5th grade, my dad recorded it, we were just watching old videos) that I stared in. My dad liked me in it, it was just the quality of the sound was bad. You would hear frequent screeching noises of the microphones.

As we watched, my grandpa (the one I quote in my signature) decided to just walk around and stretch his back out a bit (he had back pains). Me walked down the halls of my dark house, no one even noticed he left, or the ones that did said nothing (like me).

My dad wanted to go to the bathroom, so he got up to go, while the video on the TV was still playing. He was still listening to it while he was in the bathroom, he heard the sound screw up again and laughed. My grandpa heard the chuckle, and decided to do a prank (oh the humorous man he is!).

My dad was walking back from the bathroom and he faintly a shadowed man standing faced up against a wall with his hands stretched out (i dont know why...). My grandpa quickly turned around and yelled "WE MISSED YOU!!!" And my dad screamed, as my mom describes, 'as a little girl'.

It may not sound funny while reading it, but you'd have to be there...
Now, tell yours.

Well, I have an aunt who's afraid of lobsters and once I chased her down the street with one. That was a pretty good time.

My brother and I were watching "scary movies" with my dad's girlfriend's kids at a lake in northern Michigan. I think I was probably 11 or 12, so my brother was probably 14, and the other two kids were 9 and... 7? The youngest went to bed pretty soon after we started anyway. We watched Scream and Dawn of the Dead in that order. My brother and I spent the whole of both movies freaking out the girl, which really wouldn't have been hard in that house even without the scary movies. Well, toward the end of Dawn of the Dead my brother went to the bathroom and I decided to play a joke on him. The hallway was really dark and narrow so I hid by the bathroom door. When he walked out I pretended to be a zombie and walked into him. He screamed and ran back into the bathroom. I about died. I really didn't expect to scare him. I've never been able to get him after that, but that was hilarious. It woke up everybody in the house too. It was great.

once at work (I work in a home for the elderly) we decided to play a joke on our boss and made a doll with a big balloon head and a scarf on her head and it looked very real until you came close.We put it in a bed and had a urine bag and everything with apple cider and 'the lady' had an IV and everything and we put her in the bathroom one evening and when my boss came to work the next day they had written a lot about how mean she was and that another department in the house couldn't handle her so they forced us to take her! my boss was so mad and almost called the big boss when we convinced her to see the women first so she would know how to describe her and how she hit us and her anger.

when she saw her she laughed so hard and called everyone in the building to play the same joke on them.

haha, I thought I did not have any scares or so but now someone has mentiond the elderly, I seem to have been part of one...

As a teenager, 17 I think or so, a few friends and I, together with one or two other boys, were on a 'camp' in an elderly people's home in Belgium in order to supply the old people there with some change from their normal routine and organise activities and such. We were always free at around 8 because that's when people started to go to bed.

One night, already the night shift, it must have been around 10 or 11 o'clock, this figure dressed in black was seen carrying a torch and crawling through the front garden. We were all so scared! Unbelievable. We thought it was a burglar, so started to take action and try to repell him or something :rolleyes: and then he took out a knife and then, it must have been five of us girls, screamed like schoolgirls which we were. Just imagine, a place full of elderly people who have been in bed since 8 and then 5 friends sceaming at the top of their voices in the garden just outside. :lol:

It was a friend in the end. No-one had noticed she had left :rolleyes:.

No-one was angry though, surprisingly :p

When my ex and I were first married, we lived in an apartment in this kind of seedy part of Boston. Lots of old houses, pretty close together. Turns out we had mice...They really became noticeable in the winter as I think the cold weather drove them indoors.

Anyway, I was sitting at the kitchen table reading one afternoon and heard this scrabbling noise and a bunch of squeaking. All of a sudden, these mice burst out from under the stove fighting and running around. I startle pretty easily under the best of circumstances and this really freaked me out. It seemed like a lot at the moment, but was really only about four or five of them.

I don't know if folks have seen those old cartoons (I used to watch them on Saturday mornings), the kind of sexist ones where the woman will be scared by a mouse and jump up on the chair and go "EEEee! eeek!"

Yeah...:blush:

Once I was driving at night and I began to nod off at the wheel. So I pulled over and decided to take a short nap. I did actually fall into sleep for a few minutes. I was turned to the side on my seat, which I had reclined just a little. After a while, I slowly half opened my eyes and then was immediately struck by panic and yelled "Holy sh!t" as I sat up. I thought that I had fallen asleep like that while I was still driving.
