  2. By the time when I was twelve more or less, I remember that I was with my parents in the cinema. We were going to see the second part of the film Alien; Aliens2. I don't remember anything about the film because I closed my eyes every time that I was scared -all the movie-. I was so afraid that at that night I didn´t sleep. It was a hair raising experience.

  3. When I went to Turkey, I had a hair-raising experience, so that it had a lot of turbulences for the fly.

  4. That's true! Terror films or the house of terror are very good examples of hair-raising experiences!!
    Watching "The Shining" with Jack Nicholson when I was a child was a hair-raising experience for me!
    And the turbulences on the flight, very scary!!!

    Let's see what other hair-raising experiences people had!
