Many of us will experience a significant trauma in our lives, says Lesley Evans Ogden. Yet could there be ways to avoid reliving the memories?
t was no ordinary honeymoon. After boarding their flight in Canada on the evening of 23 August 2001, newlyweds Margaret McKinnon and her husband were heading for Lisbon, Portugal. As Air Transat flight 236 soared over the mid-Atlantic, McKinnon went to the lavatory. Nothing inside it was working. “It seemed odd,” she says, but she didn't think a lot of it.
Returning to her seat, the crew served breakfast, but then announced that they would be making an emergency landing. She remembers thinking it seemed early to be arriving in Lisbon. “I didn't really understand at the time what that meant,” she says. She soon found out. Crew instructed passengers to put on their life jackets. The lights flickered, then extinguished. The cabin depressurised. Oxygen masks deployed.
The plane’s systems had shut down after a catastrophic leakage of fuel. “They were shouting that we would be ditching into the ocean,” McKinnon recalls.
After a half hour of preparing for the worst, McKinnon recalls somebody yelling that they’d made it to land. It was the Azores, an isolated archipelago some 850 miles (1,360km) off the Portuguese coast. The pilots had established contact with Lajes, a joint military-civilian air base. Following a harrowing 360 degree spin and several sharp turns to reduce altitude, the crew shouted “brace, brace, brace” as the officers brought the plane to a bumpy landing. Fires licked across the plane’s wheels.The stunned passengers and crew descended escape slides and ran across a field to a safe distance, towards American soldiers with guns. Two serious and 16 minor injuries were sustained during evacuation down the chutes, but all 293 passengers and 13 crew survived.
But for many the flight didn’t end there. For some – including McKinnon – the terrifying experience replayed vividly as intrusive memories and nightmares in the months that followed.
The experience inspired McKinnon, now a clinical psychologist, to study what trauma does to the brain – how it changes what we remember and why some people experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In recent years, she and a number of other researchers have been trying to understand what makes fearful experiences seem to become imprinted so deeply in our brains. And if they can understand why trauma has such a profound and lasting effect on us, perhaps they can find ways to help people cope better with the aftermath.
Fearful imprint
The link between fear and memory has intrigued researchers and clinicians for decades. Yet the data is conflicting. “Some studies have found that during the recollection of traumatic events, recollection is enhanced. It's very vivid, people recall many details, and people don't seem to have difficulty remembering,” says McKinnon. Other studies have found that recollection of traumatic events can be very impoverished and fragmented, with “a detail here, a detail there, that don't really fit together”, she explains.

HOW EXTREME FEAR SHAPES WHAT WE REMEMBER.
ResponderEliminarThe worst story that I remember was when I had more or less six or seven years old. My family and my neighbors go to a house in the mountain to pass there the weekend of Halloween.
The night of Halloween my friends go outside to did a litle walk near to the house. We were like five or six childs, and we started to heard stranges noises. We were very scared, because we road was dark, because there weren´'t any light and we were lost. We started to walked together and two minist later a dark man gave us a fright. We squaled a lot and we started to run, but the man run too. When we saw the man was my father. He went to the house and when we went to the house, all the house are dark and there aren´t anybody inside. When we open the door a cold water fall down from the roof and we got wet.
Finally after all of this things ours mother suit on the light and and said to us that all of that was a joke.
If I have a scared history, I think that this it´s the most.
The worst experience in my life
ResponderEliminarThe worst experience in my life was when I was twelve years old and I went to Dublin with a group of students to study English. There were about three hundred of us and three teachers. The plane took off at twelve o’clock noon and landed three hours later in the beautiful Irish capital.
After leaving our luggage in our rooms, we went to the dining hall. They served us the worst lunch I have ever eaten: a boiled egg that was like gelatin and smelt like rotten fish, a bowl of lentils that tasted like petrol. I left everything on my plate and returned to my room.
The next morning we went hiking and it rained. When we were near an enormous cliff, I slipped and almost fell and a friend saved me. Then we went kayaking and I fell into the water. Later I had a fight with a posh girl who called me names. Fortunately the teacher didn’t see the fight because he was always in the pub drinking black beer.
In spite of all this, I learned a lot of English, but the rest of the trip was a terrible nightmare.
One day, when I was only 9 years old, I was playing with the dolls at my neighbour´s house, it was December. I remember it because we were wearing a sweatshirt and a big scarf around the neck. We were playing in a big room full of toys. My sister was taking some clothes to dress the dolls. These clothes were on a big box in the top of a shelf. As we could not take it because it was too high, my neighbour went to call her father when she realized that the door was locked. That is why I started to help her but my sister did not take about the situation. She was sitting on a sofa and did not make any movement. She was like petrified. The light turned off and I started to ask for help. We thought we were living a horror film. Suddenly the light turned on. The big box of the doll´s clothes was on the floor and the dolls were all ordered in a pile. When my neighbour´s father open the door it could opened it easily. We did not go back there anymore.
ResponderEliminarMy worst experience was when my grandfather was admitted. I am a very optimistic person, I would say too, but in those days as you imagine the worst are horrible, but thankfully my grandfather today is fine, and hopefully it stays that way. It is a very dear person and when all is entered you realize that your grandfather really want many people, because when all the hospital and the phones start ringing asking for him and everything they hear. Since then luckily my grandfather has continued to front after many operations, because my grandfather is the best and I love him.

ResponderEliminarexperiences are very frequently in any of ours. Anyone can have one the them when you don’t expect it because there are dangerous situations everyday. But the most important is to have the luck of getting over it and don’t have any mental consequence.
The worst experience in my life was, when I was twelve, me and two friends were going to one of them home. The street was in construction so it was a bit difficult to get there. For these reason, the workers were cutting off the electricity and the water very often.
Although, she lived in a second floor and we could have climbed up the stairs, we took the lift to get her flat. At this moment the lift stopped and the light turned off, we started to cry because we were very frightened, I had claustrophobia, and the closed places were a terrible situation for me.
Her mother knew that we were climbing and she checked that the building hadn’t any electricity, so she called another neighbour who had a key to open the lift in these cases.
He opened the door and we could go out of the lift jumping a distance until the second floor.
We stayed inside the lift for about ten minutes but it was the most horrible time I have ever suffered in all my life. Since that day I tried not to take any lift and I am avoiding this type of situation.
The worst experience of my life was four years ago when I was studying first of the ESO. It was a cloudy autumn day in which we held a bbq at the house of some friends of my parents with people swimming team at the bbq attending parents, children and coaches. After eating a rich meat all children swim team decided to go for a ride by simon green. The bbq was held at the home of one of the team and guided us for their urbanization looking abandoned houses. First he told us that we were going to weigh a Turkish house, which ers a house of a Turkish wealthy man who had left his abandoned house and went to that house. When we found the house we decided to go and went down to the garage (the house had 5 plants) and had an abandoned very luxurious car. When we were walking around the garage and looking tools began falling stones from the mountainside to the garage roof, we decided to leave the garage afraid to look up and saw two shadows moving. Seeing those shadows we started running toward the house bbq and when we arrived we ask you all running parents and coaches that had happened to us, we could not speak for fear.
ResponderEliminarMy experience happened in a warm day in May. I had just bought a blue dress for the special day in the school. My head was aching a little i took an aspirin and I decided to take a little nap so I could be well rested for this special occasion.
ResponderEliminarI woke up at 3 o'clock that afternoon. The little headache that I had before I went to sleep had progressed to an migraine. It was like I was paralyzed to the bed. I couldn't lift my head from the pillow. I was to be the presenter at the banquet, but there was no way I could make it in my condition.
An hour before the ceremony was to begin, my best friend called me and I told him of my condition. He was sympathetic and graciously agreed to accept my awards in my honor. Being the great friend that he is, he also agreed to pick up my cue cards and do the necessary presenting for me.
was very rude not to attend the event
The worst experience in my life was when I was ten or eleven. It was a dark night in winter and I was alone because my parents were with their friends in a restaurant and my sister was in a friend´s house having a good time. I was watching on TV and suddenly I heart a strange noise from the kitchen, but I didn´t give any importance but I listened the noise again so I started to feel petrified,I didn´t know what I could do but suddenly I heard footsteps in the corridor, so I started to shout and I ran to the door but I heard a voice behind me and the voice was from my sister, that was going to scare me.

My worst experience was when I was 13 years old and I went during a summer holiday to Isla Mágica, the theme park of Seville. It wasn´t the first time I went there but I had never use all the machines from park. That day was the first in where I had enough courage to get in the freefall. At the moments previous to get in I was very nervous, first the machine started to go up slowly, when it was at the top it started to fall so quickly that I screamed. Later it repeated the process but when the machine was at the top it stopped. I was expecting that in any moment it will start to fall, instead I stayed there for 20 long minutes. To sum up I have vertigo, which made me believe that instead of 20 minutes, I was up there during 1 hour.
ResponderEliminarThe worst experience of my entire life clearly.
The worst experience in my life was few years ago… I think I was around nine years old. My best friend was staying in my house and we decided to watch a scary film. It was the first time that we watched an horror film so we were excited but also a bit scared.
ResponderEliminarThe film was called “The Orphanage”, when we finished watching the film, we were so scared that we had to sleep in the same bed. We didn’t want to go to the bathroom alone. When we came back to my room and we were going to bed, my father, who was hiding behind the door, gave us a terrifying fright!
We were so scared that we slept all the night together and with the blankets on, it was summer, and the room was boiling, we were sweating, it was the worst night in my life!
The worst experience of my life I lived when I was 10 years old. It was the birthday of a friend. Juanjo invited us all classmates to his birthday celebrated in Fort Lucas, a ball park was in Bormujos. I remember I was playing with my friend Rafa, jumping from one site to another when suddenly when I jumped into a bucket that was supposed to be fixed to the ground I fell, with such bad luck I left my arm. I initially did not know what had happened to me just felt a horrible pain in the arm. I began to mourn and the father of my friend picked me up and he saw that I had done much damage he took me to hospital is in Bormujos. My mother knew nothing left for me at birthday but returned to Seville, so poor was tremendous disgust when they phoned to tell him what had happened. When he reached the hospital and saw me he began to mourn because he saw as I complained. I did radiographs and got a soothing and told my mother that I had to operate emergency because he had broken ulna and radius. I was taken to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in an ambulance and I fell asleep so I did not hear me when I went into the operating room, so when I woke up from anesthesia I thought it was all a dream. But no, unfortunately it was the worst situation I've been in my life.
ResponderEliminarI will never forget a Sunday of 2004. I only was seven years old, and as persual, my family and I were eating in a restaurant of my neighborhood. Ii can remember that my uncles, my sister and I were playing and run on the park when we finished to eat. But suddenly something that nobody expected happened : my elder sister Alejandra fell to the ground from a high curb. I ran to her for help but when I spoke to her, she could not answer me because she couldn't breathe, so i was very scared and I didn't know what to do. Quickly, my father arrived and incorporated her but she continued without breathe.
ResponderEliminarFortunately, there was a neighbor who was a doctor and he could help my sister to recuperate. Thanks him, Alejandra recovered and my parents arrive her to the hospital. Doctors said that the crash to earth was to blame for the damage, but that she was already fully recovered, luckly.
I can remember that day as the worst of my life because I saw how my sister fall. So from that day, we did not run at that curb and high places from which we could fall down.
My life is very short and with little experience, and I have not had the misfortune of having experiences as awful that described in the new. I remember a situation in which spent very fear and seems a nonsense but when it remember even me produces chills. I do not like dogs and since that day less still. I was walking with my mother by a field somewhat isolated among pine trees and where there were some isolated chalets, when suddenly a huge dog appeared to believe that breed Belgian, black pastor with bloodshot eyes and stood in front of us occupying all the way and with the intention to not let us pass, at the beginning ignored us and, dogs are my mother more scary to me, we were so that we could not see and escape slowly and without making any noise, but none that, the dog when we return we started barking like crazy and we follow walk backwards to hiding. The dog started to get angry and we heard it kick the soil and bark every stronger rather than calm down. My mother did not understand because I was so angry dog and I died I fear and what I wanted was to run out. When we had walked twenty meters dog it was decided to go for us, embarked on a career but just ahead of us, and was placed front to prevent us from the step towards where we went to was a nearby House, barking that it seemed that we would eat, in that situation again we went back and move to the opposite side with what the dog went silent. He knocked out and took a deep breath, I looked at him askance, and I think that dog was more happy than we that we have of course. I don't know that happened, maybe was the House where lived the dog and thought that we were going to come and wanted to defend it. Since then I still less like dogs but they give me less afraid because I realized that they do not attack unless having no choice but, this dog was only warning us of that I do not follow there but I didn't want to hurt us if he could avoid it. These animals are intelligent.

ResponderEliminarI am going to speak about the worst experience of my life.
I remember two years ago, I was in bed at half past one. Suddenly I heard a noise, and I was home alone. I got up and looked out into the hallway, it was dark and did not see anyone, so I went back to get into bed.
After a while, I went to hear another noise, and I was scared and closed my eyes. To 5 seconds noise was closer, and when come up to me he stopped ringing. I was very scared and did not want to open my eyes. Suddenly I feel a hand on my back ... and it was my brother. He told me that he had entered the house quietly, and wanted to get me a scare, and I got him.
At first I was angry with him, but time later, I laughed fright I felt.
It is an experience to remember. When we grow we will remember and tell our children, and laugh.
I summer in Los caños meca Cádiz area close to Africa and often boats arrive at night with immigrants, these immigrants to get up to the people of Barbate and from that I do not know what to do or else go running to the mountain.

One day o was in my living room with my father´s computer. I was sitting in the sofa and I was drinking a “Coca-Cola”. I was alone and I was watching an horror film that I couldn´t see the previous day in the television.
ResponderEliminarMy parents came back to my house but I didn´t hear anything. The film finished and I was very frightened because it was very horrible and a person in the film had killed lot of people. I heard some voices in my house, but I didn´t know who were. All the things I thought were bad.
Finally I saw my parents in their bedroom and everything was my imagination. It was the worst experience that happened to me.
The worst experience in my life was once I was alone at home with my baby sitting, I think I was arround nine years old, and I had a doll that someone gives to me in my first comunion, the doll was a mariquita perez, that ones really scared me because where ever you are they are always looking at you hahaha.
ResponderEliminarSo that day in through the doll on the been because it was really scaring me and next day when I came back from school I experimented the worst experience of my life when I released that the doll was on the same place it used to be.I cried a lot because I couldnt believe that the baby sitting could see a doll on the been and picked and put in the same place, it didnt have sense. Next day when I couldnt sleep my old sister told me she put the doll there to make me a joke.
One night my aunt Naomi wakes me saying hear a child screaming in the house. At first I ignored him but then I also heard a cry quite rare. After reviewing the house I realized that the sound was coming from outside. Yet the value of my body, I took a flashlight and went out to check while Noemi. I watched from the stairs. I did not find anything, my aunt came down beside me and we turned around to go home, when clearly hear the cry behind us. both hit a cry that was due heard around the world almost to the heart me. I do not think so but again turn around and saw absolutely nothing. Then I checked the nearby trees and managed to spot a sick rooster probably produced these cries so rare. I had never felt so relieved in my life. What espantamos and spent the night but still spent a couple of nights listening to cock screaming like a child, until one day I decided to throw it at all and took and took him away because we listened whenever they gave us very bad feeling thanks God it was only a rooster and hopefully as this better.
ResponderEliminarI consider that I have had a lot of luck during my life. Thanks to god, I haven´t had so many bad experiences, only few ones.
ResponderEliminarThe worst experience that I have had was 3 months ago. It happened during a Wednesday afternoon while I was studying. My father was with a strong stoma ache so he and my mother went to the Hospital. Two hours later, my mother called me saying that he had three hernias, one of them was aground, so the doctors would have to operate on.
At first, I was terrified since my father had suffered other operations long time ago, but then, the doctors said that everything will be ok.
I couldn´t visit him all I wanted since I was in my exams period at the school, as a result, I couldn´t concentrate so much since I was thinking on him all the time. Thanks to god, everything was right and I can say that this have been my worst experience until now.
LORENA FUSULIER GOYENECHE, 2 D
I think that one of the worst experiences in my life was one 4 years ago. It was a night that I had to sleep alone in my house. I come home after a football training about 10 o'clock. The house was empty and in an absolutely silence.I turned on all the lights because I was afraid. I was going to my room and, when I was in the hall, all the lights went out suddenly. The light was gone and I can´t saw anything at all. I didn´t know what to do, and a few seconds began to ring the phone which was in the room of my mother, at the other end of the house. I went slowly and with great fear to pick up the phone. I took it it and was my mother asking me how it was all. I explained what happened and she told me I had to go to the kitchen because the leads had fallen.
ResponderEliminarAnother worst experience was once long ago when I went in the elevator with my sister, my mother, my grandmother and my aunt, when it suddenly began to go down very fast and crashed into the ground. We were on the -1 floor, and the first floor was at the height of our heads. We were there almost 30 minutes, when a man came and got us out of there.

The time that I can remember that most fear have spent was summer. To situate us, it was a night of summer in Fuengirola, Malaga. I was in my apartment watching a scary movie with my friend Maria. We were both single. The film was titled "Mum”. We had the apartment to dark and only had the light of television. Suddenly they called the Bell and frighten me because it was rare for someone to call those hours to my house. When I looked through the peephole of the door there was no one the Hall light was off. It was very weird. I went back to the sofa. They returned to call. Tried to go again and happened the same. The next not called the Bell but that they hit the door three times with great force. There was no one. I started to scare a lot. I lift up to open the door. They continued calling many more times and slamming the door. Maria and I not stoped crying. One of these, I lift up and opened the door and saw that they were two friends of mine who were hiding. They laughed much. I wanted to kill them!

Also the day of the funeral was terrible which definitely have to tell someone that you like that will always be in your heart and that not going to forget. That day at the door of the Church I angry with my mother and told me a phrase that I will never forget that even my mother I can love her very much but as my grandmother had not else... that has been the worst moment that I have lived, and I'm still living it every November 20 that we went to the Church for the traditional mass.
ResponderEliminarSeveral years ago I took a trip with my family and friends to Alsacia in Germany. We spend there a good week of tourism and also some relaxing days. My parents had planned to return to Spain on a Friday afternoon. Because they had to work on Monday and I had to do an exam.
ResponderEliminarThe idea was to take the plane on Friday afternoon and arrive that night or early Saturday at Seville, but did not occur as planned.
When we got to the airport about two hours before takeoff the plane, an airport employee I explained that we did not take off the plane. There were striking air traffic controllers and the next plane took off within two weeks and a very expensive price. We did not know that my parents had to make significant commitments at work which could not go and my sister and I exams at school. So finally, after a few hours in shock we decided to rent a van.
This way started a very stressful and tiring experience. Because did not know if there would be enough to come back to Spain on time.
Eventually arrived Sunday night very late but we were able to do our work each Monday. We spend more than 24 hours in the car almost sleepless and anxious because we did not know when we would come.
The night scariest pass was when a friend of mine and I were going to leave your dog in the garage where he lives and the garage is next to a field where everything was dark and the field was abandoned, then we saw a cart of a drinking and got into the garage running because we heard a noise and did not know what was happening was called to the garage door when we were in and did not want to open because we had fear.
ResponderEliminarWhen he finally calmed and we heard the voice was the boyfriend of my friend who had heard noise and did not know what was happening. Went out of the garage and the shopping baby that we had seen in the field was gone.
Undoubtedly the worst experience of my life has been sailing in the ship that my father has. We were going I travel Portugal, with the very calmed sea and we were going four hours of navigation, did not see the coast and everything what was surrounding us was a sea. They started forming strong whirlpools in the sea, so much that we had to ask for aid for the issuer, the waves started being two meters of height, they were happening to us even over the ship, this happens because a wind so called foreño is in the habit of getting up at seven o'clock in the afternoon. The help came an hour and average of warning since the waves were taking us across and the engines were not capable of throwing ahead. When we find a port where to be able to shelter, we had to happen for a very dangerous channel where the whirlpools were increasing even more. On having entered to the channel that was surrounded with rocks to the sides, a wave came crawling up to the rocks, moments of dread where there was nothing that to do, thankfully, came another wave that put us directly to the channel of the port.
ResponderEliminarWhen I met an acquaintance in the street, made me hablomde normally, he entered a bus station , told me to wait outside and I was not going to go. Suddenly , he returned and walked down a street and when I realized it had been agreed with other men and they do not know what I would do.
ResponderEliminarFortunately , thank God , I escaped . I felt bad feelings since I met him , but he kept walking with normal because I had tried before and never had done that to me.
He was also as nervous and I felt strange, but did not give much importance . Arriving there where the others were , I felt scared and got into a bar that was there nearby. I waited for him to pass the time to see if they were going. Total, time passed and left the bar,but running because I was afraid to continue there and saw me run ! I was afraid to reach me , I get into a car and kill me or something.
Back in my house would very much trembling and fear , thinking they were following me or something like that .
That was the most terrible ; feel that you were going to kidnap or kill in cold blood.
I haven´t had any traumatic experience so far and hope not to have it but my mother told me when she was seven or eight years my grandparents had decided to go to visit family in another city who had lived outside in the field . My mother and my uncle, her brother, were very happy when my grandprents told them that there were many animals and lots of room to play. They were also more family was supposed to be a great day, they were in a place of Seville with the rest of the family to get together to the field, the weather wasn´t good, they went all down the road, when they were in it began drizzle, suddenly my grandfather noticed that the car seemed skating, try to correct the problem driving slower but could not, the car skidded and spun. My mother remembers how overturned. In the process she and her brother, my uncle, blows were shaking from side to side of the car, his mother, my grandmother, trying to hold them from the seat encouraged because there were no rear seat belts, that spend a lot of fear in those moments, suddenly stop the car and remain dump on one side of the road, luckily nothing happened grave. But she still remembered as a traumatic experience.
ResponderEliminarMy worst experience was when my grandfather was admitted. I am a very optimistic person, I would say too, but in those days as you imagine the worst are horrible, but thankfully my grandfather today is fine, and hopefully it stays that way. It is a very dear person and when all is entered you realize that your grandfather really want many people, because when all the hospital and the phones start ringing asking for him and everything they hear. Since then luckily my grandfather has continued to front after many operations, because my grandfather is the best and I love him.
ResponderEliminarThe moment in which fear and past was small I was shopping with my mother on a shopping center and I am loved to run and hide for clothing and shelves until one day I lost my mother and could not find it and started crying for a while until I approached a girl and took me to a site and asked me the name of my mother said to him and called but was calm not up to I saw it.
ResponderEliminarAgain to pass much afraid was when I was alone at home in bed and my parents were travel, I was a kid and my brother was not, I fell asleep and after a while hear a noise but I did not dare to get up then hear two different voices and were whispering and shouting scared Paco and someone was approaching the fourth and was my brother with a friend who was trying not to make noise for not to wake me.
The worst experience of my life was in my field when I was little. It was a summer night in my field we were my family and I, and after a long day of swimming pool and barbecue went early to bed.
ResponderEliminarOur neighbor in a charming gentleman of about sixty years. His house is right next to some trees separated us.
That night burgled my neighbor, and called the police. The theft was complicated and began to stick shots, scared my parents so we could spend woken quickly and hopped in the car back to Seville. The next morning I did not understand why I had awakened in my house sevilla, and when my parents told me this story I did not I could not believe. After this cogi fear of field and I was in a season, until they caught the thieves and put them in jail.
It was a orrible experience, but a good anecdote to tell friends.
My worst experience in life was when my grandfather died.
ResponderEliminarHe was sick in the hospital and it was a difficult situation for my family, as we weremy sister and I even something small to tell what was happening, we would haveseven or eight years. My uncles and my mother would alternate days and nightsto spend with my grandfather there in the hospital. One day left to go and myuncle came to my house to sleep, not to be alone in his, since he had been living with my grandfather in the same house. Then I thought it was weird, they were not going to visit my grandfather and spoke of him and saw my mother sad. So one day, when he went down the street with my father asked him about this issue and told me, at that time I began to mourn and my father tried to comfort me. My grandfather was my godfather and I was very attached to him so that was the worst thing that could happen to me.

The occasion in which more fear I have happened in all my life was when he was six years old, it was in the field of my grandmother who is to the suburbs of a people of sevilla and was by night, it had be two o'clock of the dawn more or less, when it was walking and I started listening to howlings wolves in half of the field and he was listening as the wolves they were walking, I was looking at all the sides appearing with a lantern but it did not see anything, then the sounds increased and I scared very much for what I decided to raise myself to an olive tree, after half an hour my major brothers appeared laughing and saying that if there were dress to the wolves. It turns out that my older brothers were doing the sound with the mouth and taking the dog of the neighbor in order that it was simulating the steps of the wolf, when it was appearing with the lantern they were remaining still in half of an olive tree in order that it could not see them. To sum up the experience with the wolf was the worst in my life

ResponderEliminarhe tenido Varias, una de ellas cuando tenia 8 años y empece a sentir que alguien con voz de niña gritaba mi nombre desde mi patio, y sali corriendo al ver que era de noche y era imposible porque todos estaban dormidos, y no era ninguna voz familiar. Despues hace poco estuvimos reformando la casa de mi bisabuela de la playa porque es muy antigua y estaba tranquilamente viendo la tele con todas la ventanas cerradas y sin ventilador ni nada que fuese capaz de dar un mas minimo de corriente. Como acababamos de cenar habia una botella de cocacola sobre la mesa y de repente durante unos segundos la botella empezo a dar vueltas sobre su mismo eje como si estuviera empujada por el viento y sin caerse, a los 15 segundos volvio a su postura incial, al quedarnos medio sorprendidos y medio asustados intentamos evitaar el tema para no asustarnos mas pero la botella volvio hacer de las suyas y hizo exactament lo mismo pero hacia el lado contrario. Todo esto me dio bastante miedo ya que mi bisabuelo murio, y esa era su casa y sobre todo por la antiguedad, ademas siempre me han dado mucho miedo los espiritus y los fantasmas

My worst experience in my life is when I go to the cementery with my friends.
ResponderEliminarThe day of Halloween, I go to Aracena because I´m visited my family. This night I went to a party with my friends in this place and they had a good time. We danced, drank and all this things, but one of my friends said that if we dared to go to the cemetery and ofcourse all people say that yes…
We closed the local and we went to the cementery. In the way all people told horror historis, and when we arrived to the cementery we were really frightened. Many people said that they wouldn´t enter in the cementery but six or seven said that yes and I said yes ofcourse.
I was so bad because I had scared but I wanted to go. We enter in the cementery and we took a walk over there but but nothing happened.
Although nothing happened I had a bad night.

The worst moment of my life was when I was six years old and my father told me a terrible history of fear that I have never forgotten of the chilling thing that is. The history counts as a man after having an accident meets in a forest to alone, in the dark, a lot of fear and the only light that exists is the one that projects the full moon, the man is scared by the howlings of the wolves the darkness and the branches of the high forests that squeak, when suddenly it observes that to the feet of a tree it appreciates a bundle under what it seems to be a blanket of black color. The scared man does not know if to go, but the curiosity wins to his fear and slowly it approaches, this when opposite to the bundle he stoops to uncover it and a weeping is listened, that of a child newborn, then it uncovers the blanket and takes it in arms, is alive, but suddenly tour stops weeping for the head, smiles and the child in spite of being a newborn child has the mouth full of teeth. This terrible history has chased me from six years, and all my life will do it.
ResponderEliminarThe worst experience of my life was once that I went with my parents to Cordoba to visit the Mezquita. I was very small and my sisters too. We were all the family visiting the Mezquita of Cordoba. My grandparents, my uncles, my father, my sisters and me. We, the children, were going running from our grandparents to our aunt from them to our parents and thus nobody was aware of being taking care of us. In the mosque there are lots of columns and also there are also many tourists everywhere. A guide, also of the family, who had studied the career of history, was telling the story of the mosque. That story was very boring for my sisters and me. At one point, I remained watching a group of children with their teacher visiting the mosque and when I turned around to find my parents, I coud not see them anywhere. I panicked and started running between the columns, looking for someone known, but I only saw many people and columns, and nothing known. I couldn remember my parents cloths or my sister’s. Finally my mother found me and quarrel me for being running away rather than stop, that was the advice that they had given me I felt loss.
ResponderEliminarNow I can´t think the worst experience, although I remember one of my worst experiences, a nightmare, but I haven´t had got many bads experiences to remember because I am sixteen years old.
ResponderEliminarThe nightmare it was about zombies because my brother puts me terror films on the tv when I was a child.
In the nightmare I was in a hotel that had classes and while I was in one of them I saw zombies in the glazing, a zombie child getting through a crack but when I was trying to warn my colleagues and the teacher, they didn´t move and was very overwhelming. When I can get I remember running through the halls of the hotel to the restaurant where my parents and brothers were and also I remember to bring them to our room. I don´t remember more because the nightmare was about 8-9 years.
The worst was that I wasn´t in my home, I was in a friend house and I passed my worst night of my life,
Nowadays I don´t worry to remember this nightmare, what's more, it has been as an anecdote.
The worst experience in my life was when my father died. It happened several years ago, but I still dream sometimes with that bad moment and I wake up like I was living a nightmare.
ResponderEliminarAlthough he had a chronic illness, was a good patient and looked after himself. He died due to a different illness; nobody at home could ever imagine that this could happen. It was a very sad surprise for all of us and happened suddenly. He stayed only three days at hospital.
Since entering the hospital I could make visits to him in the ICU but he was unconscious so I could not talk to him. I feel very sad when remember those days.
From then on it's hard for me get into the hospital, because every time I go I come all the memories of those three days. I would have liked to be able to talk to him about many things, say goodbye, and having the opportunity to tell him how much I loved him and needed him, but I could not do so. But I know he hears me and cares me, and is always with me, in my mind and in my heart.
for me the worst experience and fearful that have happened in my life and that I remember was a day I was alone at home, it was at night my parents and my brothers had gone well. I was in the living room watching TV, and as often happens when you're alone start hearing noises when not sound anything, I peered out the window to smoke a cigar and 3 minutes looked to the right and see a man walking down the street quietly, no one was more because it was too late, the whole street was dark, and the man when it was happening right in front of mine, stood and turned to me and watching me stayed, I quickly turn back from the window and at 10 minutes I turned to appear and the man was still there, but this time was you smiling, call my father and I conte and told me to shut the door and look at him but for the window, but I ignored the two hours I turned to appear because I was curious and went back to see alhombre walking down the sidewalk and within minutes I returned to look after 10 minutes my parents arrived and had my father peeked out the window and just man and was gone.
ResponderEliminarIn my life thankfully I haven’t had so many bad experiences, but if I have to think in one I will say that one experience lived in a family trip will be the worst experience in my life.
ResponderEliminarWe were in a Christmas holidays with all the family in a rural hotel in Baeza. We were having a great time with all the member of my family, especially with my cousin Reyes. We had already finished having dinner and we were very tired and we decided to go to bed early. When we were in the bed my older cousin Fernando told us that we should go to his bedroom because he was listening a cat from the window. My cousin and I decided to get up because we loved the cats and when we were in the bedroom we couldn’t hear anything so we came back to our room. My cousin Fernando came with us and gave us a goodnight kiss and we thought that he was drunk. Then, he closed the door we thought that he had gone, but it wasn’t true. He was waiting in the bathroom until we felt asleep to make a sign to my brother and Reyes’ brother who was under our bed to moved it and fear us.
Finally I discover that the reason because the bed was moving was because my cousin and my brother were down the bed, but I have to recognise that at first I was very scared.
I remember one day when I was alone at home. I was wearing a t-shirt and Bermuda so it was in summer. I was listening music and chatting with my friends when suddenly the bottle of water that I had in the table goes down to the floor. I catched it from the ground and following that the power of the house went down so I went downstairs and put it on. I went upstairs again and play a movie of war. I was so scared and suddenly my principal door got open.
ResponderEliminarThe person of the door was my father, in that moment and though that someone want to stole my house and do that to make me went downstairs. I explained to my father and that night we slept with the full alarm equip on.
I think that the worst experience in my life occured eight years ago, when I was ten years old: I was in the street near of my home with my best friend, called Evelyn, we were very boring and my friend suggested me if we could play a funny game, I logically said yes, but honestly I didn´t know what I was doing. She explained the game and it consisted on that we shooted into the air a coin, we closed our eyes and we said strange words. I didn´t find it a fun game but I had nothing else to do, so I decided to play. When I got home I went to sleep as any day, but that night it wasn´t like any other night. I got up in the middle of the night and suddenly a light came into my room trough the window, this light went inside a stuffed of E.T and it began to move. I started to call my mother and when she came to my room, the light was gone. The next day I learned that game he had played was the Wija.
ResponderEliminarThe time that I spent more scared in my life was when I was six years old, who was in the field of my grandmother, who is on the outskirts of a town of Sevilla and it was night, had to be two o ' Watch roughly morning when I was walking and I began to hear the howling of wolves in the countryside and he listened as wolves as they walked, I was looking at all sides that come with a flashlight, but did see nothing, then rose and sounds scared me so much I decided to get up to an olive tree, after half an hour my big brothers were laughing and saying that if she had dressed to the wolves. It turns out that my older brothers were doing the sound with his mouth and take a neighbor's dog for simulating the steps of the wolf, when he appeared with flashlight that still remained in the middle of an olive tree so he could not see them. To summarize the experience with the wolf was the worst of my life
ResponderEliminarOne of the worst experiences of my life was a few years ago when a friend of mine died in traffic accident with a motorcycle.
ResponderEliminarWhen my friend called me to tell me the news I could not believe it. For me it was hard to believe that a friend of mine who was with me last night was in the hospital. He could only receive visits from their parents and I would have liked to tell him many things. A few hours later he died and was one of the saddest nights of my life. He was a great person and always I have a good memory of him in my heart and I'm sure that is still with me although I did not see.
The worst experience of my life was when I was sick last year. In summer I already had some symptoms but were not very strong, but I began to lose much weight to 43 kg despite ten less than weight now. When I started school in September, and I started to have stronger symptoms, I came out herpes in the eye, having no nutrients was very thin and tired, I fell asleep at any time, had many pains and vomiting. Whenever I went to the hospital the doctors were saying it was nothing, but the last time I went and saw me very badly and I finally admitted. The hospital experience was horrible, I am a very nervous person and can not be many days in a hospital locked in a room, the first admission was 20 days or so and would not let me eat, what happens quite wrong, all we had was feeding by vein to malnourished no more, because it was malnourished because my body was not accepting food from long ago, that was the cause of stay so thin. The second time I was admitted less time but more intense, as it was pretty bad. Anyway, I've already passed that bad year, now even though many days my illness not let me do some things or go places, try catch me with positivity, and always think I should not complain because there are people who are worse.

Fear is sometimes very important because warns of dangers that may threaten our health. But what happens when certain memories are not forgotten and prevent us from even sleep at night?
ResponderEliminarThis is due to an experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which remains stored in the brain and can appear at any time by nightmares or painful memories, still very hard to forget, due to the strong impression caused in the brain of the person affected. According to a study by McKinnon (a clinical psychologist, to study what trauma does to the brain), the people are able to remember a large number of details about the incident, but only few are relevant or even false, because the brain has stored because of fear they felt at that time and has tried to give a logical order for them to be more easy to remember. Still, using medications called beta-blockers, which prevent a PTSD symptoms and may in the future forget these memories.
Really for me my worst expirience is when I saw an abduction. For my it was horrible. I am elling my history.

Three days later the pólice called me and told me that I was not important and the woman was well when i herad it I felt more relaxed.
Along my life, I have been lucky not to live through very bad experiences, the experiences that more have hurt me were the deaths of my grandparents. I spent it very badly, but a bad anecdote was when I fell of the motorcycle in my field for the first time, I was taking the motorcycle for my field with my cousin, did not have card, and we were going the two for the field driving and we slip ourselves with the mud. We did not know that to do, because our parents were going to scold us very much, but we had the bad luck of which my cousin broke the clavicle. Finally, we call my father and tell it to him. He understood us, and took the ambulatory one to us that us the doctors were treating the wounds, everything stayed lucky in a fright and whenever we take again the motorcycles in the field we go with mas care.
ResponderEliminarBut also I remember as soon as it took the police on having gone out of a party for one it fights, they mounted me in the car and took me to the police station. It did not know what to do, my parents were going to kill me but it her fights it was for having stolen the purse from me, then the police understood it, and they allowed that I went away, and my parents did not find out about anything.
I am going to speak about the worst experience of my life.
ResponderEliminarI remember two years ago, I was in bed at half past one. Suddenly I heard a noise, and I was home alone. I got up and looked out into the hallway, it was dark and did not see anyone, so I went back to get into bed.
After a while, I went to hear another noise, and I was scared and closed my eyes. To 5 seconds noise was closer, and when come up to me he stopped ringing. I was very scared and did not want to open my eyes. Suddenly I feel a hand on my back ... and it was my brother. He told me that he had entered the house quietly, and wanted to get me a scare, and I got him.
At first I was angry with him, but time later, I laughed fright I felt.
It is an experience to remember. When we grow we will remember and tell our children, and laugh.

They were approximately between 3 a.m. or 4 a.m. in a village of Huelva my cousin and I sat in a stairs under one very dark night, waiting for my tata to which it was coming of bringing a few sandwiches, in all that it comes suddenly a strong noise is listened and disagreeably and in the instant of raising the head a flying device not identified by us spends to us for very slow head and suddenly in the blink of an eye this one already not this one, we remain the three ... mas scared that never

ResponderEliminarThe worst experience of my life happens when I was 6 or 7 years old. I went on a boat to Ceuta to visit my grandparents, I was sitting with my parents and brothers when suddenly I noticed that I need to go to toilet so I advised my parents and went to wait the line for the bathrooms. When I finished and went out of the W.C I see across the window that we had arrived to land, so I decided to go downstairs on my own to wait for my parents on the garage.
The worst part was there when I stayed almost half and hour next to the close car waiting for my family so I was really scary and I started to cry. At that moment my mother appear she was crying too, she told me that there had been looking for me for all the boat because they though I had disappear and she reproof me a lot, for going to the garage without advise them. It was the worst day in my life but I just wanted to get the first to the car to get the better sit!!!
If I had to choose the worst moment of my life no doubt I would choose the time that we travel to me and my family to Mexico. It was two Christmases, traveled to Cancun Airport in the Riviera Maya. On the third day of staying in the hotel, making thousands of fun activities we decided to visit the city of QuintanaRoo Playacar. So we took a taxi from the hotel complex in which we found ourselves up to Fifth Avenue. At the end of the journey (all correct) my father decided to ask the taxi driver whether the use of taxis in Mexico was dangerous; the driver quickly got angry and began to drive very fast to reach our destination. He opened the car door and we said goodbye very impolite way. Finally everything was a scare and nothing more of what could have happened happened. After that, still have a tremendous desire to go back to Mexico!
ResponderEliminarMy worst experience was when I was 13 years old and I went during a summer holiday to Isla Mágica, the theme park of Seville. It wasn´t the first time I went there but I had never use all the machines from park. That day was the first in where I had enough courage to get in the freefall. At the moments previous to get in I was very nervous, first the machine started to go up slowly, when it was at the top it started to fall so quickly that I screamed. Later it repeated the process but when the machine was at the top it stopped. I was expecting that in any moment it will start to fall, instead I stayed there for 20 long minutes. To sum up I have vertigo, which made me believe that instead of 20 minutes, I was up there during 1 hour.
