Hey, Pandas, What Is The Scariest Thing You Have Ever Seen Or Heard Of? (Closed)

Quite a few years ago, my Dad slipped and fell through one of those rubber covered rope ladders while he was playing with me and my two younger sisters on a playground. He broke his already crooked nose, broke his shoulder, sliced his shoulder open, and cut his leg super badly as well. He was bleeding a lot. Me and my sisters tried to get him out, but we couldn't. We saw a mother and her two sons pull into the playground parking lot and walk towards it, so we yelled and cried, "Please, you need to help our dad, he's really hurt..!"
She took one look at him, ushered her children back to the car, and didn't say a word. All she did was glare at us and our dad as he was bleeding.
There was a road with a lot of cars nearby, so we went near there instead, waving our arms and yelling that our dad needed help. No one pulled over.
Finally, my Dad mustered up the strength to tell me that his keys were in his back pocket. We grabbed them, unlocked the car, and called a family friend who could pick Dad up. I wanted to call 911, but my dad insisted he didn't need that.
The family friend drove him to the ER immediately after performing some first aid. I was crying for days. I thought my Dad would've died that day.
His shoulder still can't move right anymore. He can't do anything like he used to.
That's the scariest thing I've ever seen. My Dad almost dying, trapped on the playground, no one helping for no reason, and he never even shed a tear. I'll never understand how he kept himself together for so long.

Brain aneurysms. It's scary how fast you die, and how you can have one at any time. My great uncle died of one. We were at a family gathering and it just seemed like he dropped dead.

Being asked to give three fun and interesting facts about yourself.

Climate change, and the fact that nobody is willing to take even small actions to address it when only immediately drastic action can save us.

The American healthcare system, and how any individual is just one surprise away from bankruptcy/homelessness and most of them can't even see it because it's too difficult to admit to themselves that they're not in control.

How ridiculously fragile humans are and we can be alive one day and dead the next with no warning.

How common decency and science have become political issues, causing an increase in disease, hate crimes, poverty, etc and it seems like every one of the big powers is moving further in that direction every day.

I could keep going, but I think I need to get away from all of this for a while.

An over loaded truck overtook a cyclist as a sheet of metal fell off the back of the truck and sliced the cyclist's hand off! I was sick for days after seeing that.

At 16, seeing my 13 year old brother unconscious and lying in a puddle of blood. Blood had splattered onto the walls in the next room. He had been fighting with our dad, and our dad was crazy. We never knew if he fell and hit his head, or if dad hit him with something. My brother was okay, but we thought he was dead. I can still see it like it was yesterday. My sense of humor helps me cope with those kind of memories.

Learning that Yellowstone could explode any moment and the world would die, and we couldn't do anything about it.

And spinach. Spinach is terrifying to me for some reason.

Pop quizzes

Learning that my grandmother, the one who is always there and supportive or me, has cancer for the 2nd time.

Probably Anaesthesia Awareness. I hope that never happens to me.

Getting the unexpected news of the death of a loved one. My world perception then shifts in a 90 degrees angle, that I did not know was possible. The first time this happened was the scariest time of my life and it took years to get used to the new world order, without that person but with the knowledge that people can just fall away and the world continues.

I feel that the scariest thing is that some murderers and serial killers are still not caught.
That's probably just me though

My friend with his shaved off eyebrows. it was both funny and creepy.

That our over use of antibiotics has lead to bacteria becoming more resistant to them, and that we are on the brink of having many strains of bacterial infections becoming almost uncurbable. Such as the recent cases of a super strain of staph infections in some parts of the world. Also that because of the anti vaxxer movement many diseases like polio, rubella, scarlet fever, mumps, and others have a chance of not only returning but becoming stronger as well.

Somebody at my school walked past the classroom door during recess and aimed a soft gun inside. Tok me a moment to realize it was a soft gun.

This was before we startef hearing about school shootings every month. I dont know if anyone reported it.

One time when I was walking to the store with my mom, and and someone was having a mental health crisis. They were hitting the other person in the head with the handle side of an ax. It was really scary.

Also, the person was fine. They lived down the street from us, and I saw them a few times after that.

Saw a goat run out in front of the bus I was on; it was like a meat explosion with blood, fur and broken glass. And I was on the top deck when it happened and saw the afore mentioned blood, fur and glass up pas the window

I think the scariest thing I have ever seen is the movie Chernobyl Diaries. When I saw this post, I immediately shivered thinking about it.

When i was 12ish i came home from school and neither my mum nor my older brother were there.
i looked everywhere. Then i saw A LOT of blood on the floor of my brothers bathroom. I was so fricking scared. and nobody to ask, what happend (none of us had a mobile phone at that time)
my mum came home later that evening and explained it. my brother had cut his arms open (not the veins, but all the skinn on his forearms) and was in the hospital.
i learnt that day that he was depressive and borderline and couldn't cope with the recent separation of our parents.
i still sometimes remember the blood on the floor.. almost 20years later

vCJD and how indestructible prions are. Prion diseases in general are the the stuff of nightmares for me.
