What is the creepiest thing that has ever happened to you?

For me, it was a week or so after I moved into a new house (I had moved from the South of England to the North for a fresh start) So, I'm up late one night watching TV, could not sleep for the life of me when there is a scraping noise coming from upstairs and my senior (90% deaf) dog starts growling and looking up the stairs. Naturally my anxiety kicks in and I'm frozen listening and quietly hushing the dog to figure out wtf that noise was. I get up and look up the stairs and the goddamn loft hatch is OPEN. It's the kind of hatch that you have to push up to open and that slots in when you close it. It has slid open around 5 inches and I am staring at it wondering what kind of horror movie sh*t is about to happen to me. I think I stood there for at least 5 minutes staring at it, my heart in hummingbird mode. It was so freaking scary I was too freaked out to go upstairs so I stayed awake downstairs all night. Next day I asked my neighbour to come shut it for me (I'm short and had no ladders) he looked and saw nothing said it was maybe the wind except it had been dead still that night. Landlord lived in the house 10 years and said it had never happened to him in all those years. Never wanted to move so much in my life! 3 years I ended up staying there and it never happened again even in the huge storms we were having. Next house I moved into the entire loft hatch fell out of the ceiling one night while I was watching a movie and now my best friend is convinced I have a loft monster following me from house to house. Needless to say I'm not fond of loft spaces.
