Nothing really amazing comes to mind.  Way back when I was a kid, I watched the first Karate Kid movie.  Mr. Miyagi said "Man who catch fly with chopstick can do anything."  I decided that I was going to catch a fly with chopsticks but since I didn't have any chopsticks, I figured tweezers were good enough.  It didn't even take long but I managed to grab a fly out of the sky with tweezers and squished the hell out of it!  I still tell this story to anybody that will listen and absolutely nobody ever believes me.

Way back in the days of VGChartz member "Art of Angels", I told about when I was a cop and we had to ride around checking on closed businesses, churches, and such, really late at night (Between 10pm and 6am).  So I went to my grandmother's church where she's buried and instead of working, I decided to play Advance Wars on my DS.  I saw a light in the cemetary behind me in the rearview mirror of my police car.  When I looked back, there was nothing.  I kept playing the game and it happened again.  A chill came over me and I got the hell out of there!  I was never really afraid of graveyards and stuff (used to take a shortcut through a graveyard after midnight when I worked in Atlanta and didn't have a car) but that freaked me out.

Same scenario except this time there was a place (it's not even 5 miles from where I live) called the "Dell Goodall House".  Supposedly, it was the only place in my town that wasn't burned down during the Civil War or something (you can google it if you're bored.).  Anyway, I had to check on this old ass creepy house, too.  I walked up to the house and the front door was cracked.  Whenever we check these places, we have to leave a slip in the door showing that we checked it and when we check them.  Anyhoo, I go to the front door and it's cracked open.  I push the door but instead of opening, it slams closed!  Once again, I got my ass out of there.

-Third story, same set up-went to my Grandma's church to put a slip in the door, heard a baby cry (later I was told it was some sort of animal), walked back to my car, totally shaken up but trying to hide it.  Got the hell out of there.

Being alone in the middle of the night in the spookiest of places.  A good way to get scared shitless.

*edit* in my infinite boredom (just got home from work at 5am and nobody but me is awake), I googled the Dell Goodall house.  Say what you will.  This motherfucker is haunted! http://www.southernhauntings.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=26
