Ok so wandering down a dark and empty lane/street at night imagining what ghosts and ghoulies are creeping up on you is pretty scary but I have something worse.
This may sound sick, but if you have ever experienced it, it truly is the essence of fear.
OK, so you are alone, the lane is dark, woods/empty houses either side of you. Shadows move with your imagination and you half expect to see something that'll just scare you witless. Nothing happens, the wind howls, the mist rolls in, your mind work's overtime ... this is the perfect setting for a ghost story. But not just any ghost story - YOURS. You imagine how the UL evolves - he was just stumbling home from the pub when out of the mist his hidden attacker emerged. Death in a flash, left to forever try to find your way home. Maybe you are whistling a tune that'll ever haunt people who walk past a certain spot. Maybe your footsteps made that kind of sound that wouldecho for eternity, scaring the lesser believers....
If you've never considered this on those lonely walks, I assure you you will now. Mortality is the basis for all fear ... isn't it?
Let me know if I'm mad.
Sir.
