This could have happened to me!
But even better: Last year somebody lost 23000 euros (the money to buy the cabrio he was testdriving, open)
The Police had to lock the A2 Motorway in germany to protect people trying to catch the bills.
The owner found 20000 back and had to pay 235 euros to the police for their duty.
FEAR, HORROR, and TERROR on the PuristSPro TimeOut forum!!!!!
Dear Purists, it’s time for me to present you : ..... the biggest fear i’ve ever experienced .... . Every normal human being is (or has been) afraid of something, some people really don’t like spiders, others are simply afraid of the dark or tiny claustro...
So, i’ll kick off with my story !!!!
As a young kid i had a lot of fears, i watched a lot of horror-movies which fed my fear for the dark, spiders, water, sharks, murderers etc ... . At this point (i’m 40 now) i must really say i fear nothing at all, and if i say nothing at all even a guy wi...
Watch 'Paranormal Activity' the movie...
... and please take off that photo of that spider from the above post. This message has been edited by (*_*) on 2009-10-26 05:56:48
Was it....
Hello (*_*) ! I heard that 'Paranormal Activity' was good. Was it really that scary? Yeah, the spider pic by Bimbeano was frightening! -MW
Not sure...
Hello DRMW, One of my friends watched it a couple of nights ago, and alas! says he hasn't been able to sleep well ever since !!!!
I've seen the trailer ...
... and i'm pretty sure i saw enough .... ... . Just to pl(t)ease you i'll put another pic another little animal LOL .....
Abandoned hospital...
Like you, Bim, I don't really suffer from any intense fears. I'm not claustrophobic, arachnophobic, etc. I am not at all squeamish about blood and injuries and thinking about it, spend too of my life chasing adrenaline... So.... the setting: I am about 11...
Pretty scary ....
I think a lot of kids would have started to cry being in a situation like that. You're a brave little fellow BDLJ !!! Filip

My biggest Horological Terror
It is certainly when I took pics of my MMR... It was quite 2 years ago, when receiving my new car. I stuck it on my car front grill for the so called picture " Lord of the Rings ". The only thing is that I forgot it on the front grill, when back to Paris....
(gulp) . . . as Marlon Brando would've said . . .
. . . " . . . the horror, the horror . . . " . . . ! I've managed to leave my grey Karree perpetual on two separate occasions, once at a Pasadena coffee house, and once at the Dresden airport, but luckily I was able to retrieve it both times. Oh, and the ...
Funny, Art
I have a Dunhill lighter I lost and retrieved ... 8 times. It has more lifes than a cat! Best, Nicolas
The first contestant ...
.... is in .... are you sure it wasn't your Swatch you forgot on the front of your Audi Nicolas ???? Ze Bim
this happened when i was about 25 or 26.
you may not be aware but in the UK the police used to have to attend alarm activations whenever they occurred and whether it be a bank, office, factory or private home. probably 99.9% of them are false alarms, but you have to get there quickish just in ca...
The 2nd contestant...
... is as crazy as the first one ... LOL ... Great story Graham, this contest will be very entertaining i have the feeling ... The Bim
Whoa, that's a scary story!
Oh boy, I'm just imagining that right now... That would truly be one of the scariest thoughts ever.
After this there is no need for anyone to post
this is the most horrible thing I ever heard and I was shaking so much this summer when I took MMR in my hands (not even grappa can calm me down) Tss Tsss Tsss .... if I knew this story I would jump with it in pool :0)) Best my lord of terror friend Damia...
LOL, Damian!
So you can imagine my fear! But it is true that when I had to decide if I made the plunge or not on this watch, I was a bit ...Febrile. Like you when you saw it last summer. Best, Nicolas
OMG! That has got to take the cake (and ring!) from the previous holder of
the title, when a fellow WIS left his 3970 on the table (he unknowingly put his napkin over the 3970 that just got passed back to him on the table) - the busboy came and cleared the napkins and plates...and two days later he was frantically emailing every...
Wow, Nicolas! It reminds me a couple of years ago after loading my car ( an RS6 Avant)
I hit the traffic in Turin and at a set of red lights had to brake energetically, something hit me at the back of my head. I turn around thinking that somebody or something hit me through the opened sun roof ,,,and found my wallet! I had left it on the ro...
Hey, Luc
In this kind of stories, I also have to confess having let on the pavement a full bag of goodies in Paris, just behind my car... Was looking for the keys, so let the bag on the pavement, I climbed into my car, and started driving, completely forgetting th...
Well, The doctor has diagnosed me as suffering from "Daily life incompatibility" syndrom
but again someone has to save the planet! Cheers Nicolas, Luc
I forgot ..
Some years ago i was in the running to take over a small company. So i asked the owners if they could miss their accounting papers for a couple of days. I picked them up and brought them to my own accountant. Two days later i went to pick them up, and whi...

Thanks FX ...
... if it were a Tarantula, i wouldn't have had the guts to take those pictures !!! Don't forget to post your story of horror and fear my friend !!! Catch you very soon... Filip
I know ...
... and very brave of me ... the spider is a Spiderius Bimbeanus, the most dangerous species in the whole universe ... one bite by this little fellow kills 45 million planet populations with the blink of an eye ... .... . Seriously, i took the spider-pict...
Giant Orb Weaver …
Picking up on your spider image, Filip, where I grew up we had a lot of orb weavers in the garden. These spiders would build a large web every evening, usually between bushes, and sit in the middle waiting for prey to stumble in. One night around dusk I w...
Here's something to think about...
They say it's not uncommon to accidentally ingest spiders while you're sleeping; some individuals will unknowingly ingest one or two spiders every few years while they're sleeping with their mouths open. I've had the problems you've had with spiders in th...
Rest assured ...
Hi Patrick, i've heard that story too about ingesting the spiders, but rest assured these are fairy tails. I think i saw a program on our national television where some scientists assured us this doesn't happen. A spider will not crawl into a big snorklin...
when i was a kid...
when i was a kid (last week) i used to read horror stories. there were a series of books with fairly short stories in written by Roald Dahl. i remember reading more than one about small spiders crawling up the nose and into the brain whilst the person was...
Big fan of Roald Dahl here...
Dahl's books are fantastic; especially the short-stories. I'm especially fond of the stories of the romantic innuendoes and clever schemes he writes of . I remember reading about the spider that crawls up the nose and lays eggs in the brain. But I can't r...
Entomophobia: part two …
I had been working at a remote hospital on the Thai-Burma border a few years ago. I had been there a few weeks and noted that some of the locals sported tattoos of a large aggressive centipede with a painful bite. I was warned to watch out for these when ...
Turning white...
I'm going to get nightmares about this one... Reminds me of that Indiana Jones movie "Temple of Doom" when the protagonist is in a giant bug infested cave.
Living in a cold region ...
... has one big advantage ... you don't see a lot of bugs .... . I wouldn't mind the locust .... on a France-trip i met Gerard the Locust .. he was a nice guy ... . Filip...
I was bitten twice by the centipedes (about 6 inches) when I was about 15.
Once on the head near my eye and once on my leg. The scars are still there. Regards Ling
Gives me chills, Ling ...
A few days after the incident I described a local showed me a good sized one he had found in the leaves at the side of the path. When annoyed they are very aggressive. He casually tossed it into the fire; the locals don't like them either! A
OK, here's my story...
Back in my college days, we were traveling to the Mid West and a friend in Nebraska was telling us about the 'Dark Angel' aka 'Black Angel' in neighboring Council Bluffs, Iowa. In a cemetery that is supposedly haunted, a new statue of a angel that was pla...

Bim...
Hello paranormal-BIM, The Fairview Cemetary is located at 308 Lafayette Avenue, Council Bluffs, Iowa, a short drive from Omaha, Nebraska. Sorry but I aint going with you! I just googled it and there appears to be more than one 'Black Angel' in Iowa. Scary...

On SyFy channel...
Hello Graham! There are many ghost hunter/paranormal activity shows on SyFy channel. I don't watch many but every once in awhile, I check it out. Spooky stuff in some of those shows. -MW
I think DRMW's story is scary and creepy...
Hey DRMW, just being in Nebraska or Iowa is a scary story in itself LOL :P I remember the story of the Dark Angel in the Fairview Cemetary near Council Bluffs, IA. It's a statue of a bronze angel that supposedly turned black right away instead of oxidizin...
They don't like it when we talk about them...
My story is from my sophomore year in college. My roommate, AT, and I were hanging out in my dorm room one night. We were listening to the radio and telling ghost stories and talking about spirits to entertain ourselves. My roommate and I had covered near...
Similar experience.
Hey Ping, we had a similar experience in our house two years ago. One day a big glass bowl just exploded from nothing into a million pieces, nothing to worry about ... untill ... a couple of days later all the spoons and other things hanging around our ki...
I literally saw my life flash before my eyes . . .
. . . during a spin-out on a Los Angeles freeway caused by a pick-up truck that eased into my lane; I ended up facing the opposite direction on the left shoulder, spinning 540º in light traffic. During those few seconds, I saw images of scenes from my lif...
I know that feeling Art.
Hi Art, i know that feeling very well ... only thing in my case is: It was my own fault ... i've seen my life passing by (well, almost) twice driving my car way too fast on twisty roads ... when you loose control on a small road at approx. 60-70 mph you c...
I win, Filip, I just have to tell about one day at work: a designer running away from all
those Zombi-engineers! But I'll make you a favor, I will spare the details if you get me the award!
I can clearly imagine ...
... a designer having a lot of fights with the tech-guys .... you should go working for Ducati, the one and only place on earth where design and technique fit together like a glove ! Take a Ducati half-apart and you still have the design left ... . See yo...
Well if that is not enough I can tell about the Zombi-purchasing guys or...
the Zombi-finance guys, Thriller was a joke!
