Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: I got it about a year ago, this was my experience. You open your eyes. the first thing you notice is that you can't move, this immediately sets in a panic, you try to scream but nothing comes out, it's just stuck in your throat. But wait, you hear somethin ....


Comment preview: I'v had an experience with sleep paralysis recently. I was having a weird and creepy dream where a nuke went off and I was crawling around in the fallout area. I remember waking up to the noise of someone opening my bedroom door. I'm not sure what made it ....


Comment preview: I've ridden one of these things on vacation in the Philippines. It was called a "Zorb". There's two ways of riding: 1) They put a little water inside and you sit in the middle and get tossed around as the ball rolls and 2) you are strapped in with anothe ....


Comment preview: Usually sleep paralysis is pretty cool. I just try to move, get confused, get tired and fall back asleep. For some reason I can never remember when it is happening that I often experience it. It always seems new in the moment. I hallucinated during only ....


Comment preview: A friend of mine had a similar experience with Salvia. We were big potheads at the time so he knew how to rip a bong pretty hard, which is what he did with this 30X Salvia we had. Immediately after exhaling and passing on the bong he fell out of his chair ....


Comment preview: As someone who suffered from postpartum psychosis after the birth of my son I really feel bad for her. It was the most terrifying experience of my life. At it's worst I was scared I was going to hurt my son and called a friend to come get him. I was see ....


Comment preview: I'm not going to go too far into it, as I don't have an interest in writing erotica. Basically, I was a careless 17 year old kid who got off on something that's really, really, really, really dangerous. And because I was extremely shy and dared not let a s ....


Comment preview: So. Funny story about this effing book. When I was young, around 5 or 6, I had this book. I had read it (as much as a 5 year old can "read") dozens of times. One night, my mother and I were sitting on top of our stairs while she read this very story to m ....


Comment preview: When I was considered medically "dead" I couldn't hear anyone, I was in a huge white room with no walls, just a floor. The floor would occasionally sparkle far off. I could not move, I could just look around, it was completely empty. I could still feel emo ....

Comment preview: I was just doing my job, but I worked at a ropes course and a 12 year old girl fell between two walking cables and got her thigh pinned between two of them that twisted. I'm actually very afraid of heights, but was able to get over it when I needed to. Sin ....


Comment preview: Well, this is going to get buried, but oh well. My old boss was the head of a local biker gang in the 70s, the hells angels came to town at some point and politely suggested the gang merge into the angels or disappear. My boss at that time, being the leade ....


Comment preview: Basically I was in an open relationship, and it was coming to an end badly. Started going on and off (surely a death rattle) and then finally my then girlfriend breaks it off to go out with another guy. I reacted by being very upset and angry. Finding ou ....


Comment preview: My mom is a pill head and also suffers from chronic pancreatitis. She has always abused her meds and taken way too many when she wasn't sick. When I was 15, I got caught smoking pot. They made me go to a outpatient drug treatment group. In this group, I co ....


Comment preview: I'll never regret doing Shrooms, but I'll be damned if it wasn't the most terrifying experience of my life, for hours on end I couldn't think, I honestly don't know how to explain something like that, whenever a thought would start it would abruptly end. T ....


Comment preview: I had a kid literally go berserk next to me once. It was probably the most terrifying experience in my life up to that point. I was sitting in lunch next to a kid I didn't know that well. We were talking and getting along, but then another boy came up, gra ....


Comment preview: In Winter of 2009 in Minnesota I was driving to a friends house in Friday rush hour traffic. It had been snowing for about an hour and the roads weren't too bad- or so I thought. I lost control of my rear-wheel drive vehicle in the middle of a three lane h ....


Comment preview: Not a teacher, but my father once had to physically intervene during a principal-parent-teacher conference at the Elementary School he worked at. He worked as a groundskeeper/janitor and was tending to some flowers or something when suddenly he heard a fra ....


Comment preview: In the spring of last year I faced one of the most terrifying experiences in my entire life. I've been playing rugby for 5 years. One game, I went to make a tackle. My teammate who weighed 90 pounds more than me, went in for the same tackle. The next thing ....


Comment preview: Sure, it's kind of embarassing but here goes. I don't smoke weed but thought that because this is an OTC thing that it "cant be *that* bad". Purchased some "Marley", some mixer for a 50/50 mix and a little pipe went home and inhaled 3 times. For 5 minut ....


Comment preview: I actually have. I am from northwest Montana, very close to Glacier National Park. And I will tell you that it is the single, most terrifying experience you will ever come across. While hiking one day with my family, we became complacent in our situation. ....


Comment preview: At Six Flags Magic Mountain they had a ride called D j Vu, which, as a tall-ish (6'2") person was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. At the end of the line, park employees were looking around for people who might be "too tall" to ride it. ....


Comment preview: Dear god, this was the most terrifying experiences of my life. I realized on a trip that I had accidently snuck a not-so-small baggie of weed through security on my departure flight. Not wanting to throw it out, a friend of mine (king of stoners) suggested ....


Comment preview: Posted this before somewhere, but it kind of applies. I was a patient, not an employee. I was in a psych ward for 10 days for attempting suicide. I had the most terrifying experience of my life there. I was only 17 at the time and in a pretty bad mental st ....


Comment preview: This reminded of one of the most terrifying experiences that I have ever had: I used to live with a bunch of students in a sort of upscaleish neighborhood which was oddly very near a small native reservation. Anyway this house was pretty out of the way so ....
