Pipedreams:
So many scary moments for me:

Story1: I was bored on a weekend. My car was at the mechanic and was home alone. So I started reading deep things about magick, satanism and Satanic sigils. I drew up one of the Sigils of a demon. After a while I went to bed...omo! See attack. I saw powerful Cosmo beings. A man with a lion's head asking me why I called him and what he can do for me, A short man laughing so hard with red horns. I struggled before I woke up. Damn it. I was so so scared.

Story 2: I went to a club with buddies at ikoyi to have a good time. Then I became so tired and opted to leave them there by 2am on a Saturday morning. As I climbed third mainland, doing like 140km/h, I noticed that I was alone on the bridge no car front nor back. In front of the mist darkness, I could see creatures making faces at me. Then I kept hearing a voice to park my car and come into the lagoon. I looked at the lagoon and it was becoming illuminated with subtle music coming out from it . I was dead scared. I increased my vehicle stereo to the loudest to drown the evil music and held tight to my steering while saying NO! I won't! with my heart beating like a drum until I passed the water and got to land (oworonshoki)

Story 3: I went for evening service at church. The church closed around 9pm. On my way back to the house I saw two innocent Old women and decided to pick them up to assist. Only to start driving, they started coughing. I looked into their eyes only to see thier eyeballs moving 360 degrees and it had many colours. Mehn! I started going mad! It was as if knives were driven into my skull. I almost fell into the gutter. As they coughed my spirit was living my body till I managed to get out of the car and forcefully scream and told them to get out of my vehicle! Still warming up I'll share some more soon wink

please stop..this is scary

Another episode that happened was when I moved into a compound where I didn't know that it was a den if witchcraft. (I don't believe in that witchcraft stuff before then)

I slept off in my sitting room and in the midnight I saw a man on my couch, I tried to scream but my voice was gone. I struggled but I couldn't and I just left myself to fate. I was there for some minutes then I shouted JESUS before I got free.


I woke up and was hearing the meow of a cat in my Kitchen so I ran there and behold it was a Cat outside my Kitchen window. I developed courage and took a Stick, unlocked my door and went out to Kill the Cat but it escaped. I went back inside and tried to sleep but the nightmare I had would have given a pregnant woman Stillbirth.

The next day when I told my neighbours they said they had the Cat noise but they couldn't come out and was surprised I did. They told me stories about the house that I dread the Sun going down because I was living In a haunted house. When I left the compound, I've taken about fifteen steps backward in my Life. Thank God for Today but


Witchcraft is Real


Demons are Real


Devil is Real


And finally JESUS TRIUMPHS OVER THEM ALL.


I've served all of them and I can tell you that Jesus is the answer

I can't never forget this day for those in calabar living in calabar south was the dungeon of cultists and I was living in the LG chairman house as a tenant who happens to be the head of a cultists group.
There was a fight between cultists and their members where killed wasn't even aware of the fights cos I travelled came back late ,slept in the compound not knowing I was the only one who slept in a compound that had more than 10 self contained rooms for students including 3 flat for families which included the landord and his families.
Woke up very early to fetch water for clean up passing through saw boys numbering about 12 seated opposite their selves with guns,cutlass,charms seating opposite my room all wearing black and red.
they thought I wasn't around cos one them also lives in compound.
My head was big filled with fear ,I walked through their midst went to fetch my water came back and still passed them.Till date I can say if that was confidence that made me not to run back to my room when I saw them,pple said they would have killed me if I had or becos I was their ogas Tennant was what saved me .

Most times, cultist don't attack just everyone. You must price, to pay. They don't hurt those who haven't stepped on their toes. I be Calabar based before sha.

I recall their leader name was called MOPOL.

It's not an experience I wish for my enemy. Let me tell you something about fear, It takes you up for about Forty Seconds but try to beat it and understand your environment before it gets past that because that's when Survivor instincts kicks in.

Maybe,they do see me as a snubish girl becos I hardly relate with anybody in that street.I was just a quiet introvert
The guy amongst them leaving in my compound was practically living off me then as a student,when I cook I give him and also gives him money.
If you lived in calabar,you should know edem edet then and even the landlord,when they have their meetings could come back home and see over hundreds guys in the compound.

Mine was the second time Armed robbers invaded our house. I didn't notice them the first time they came around, because I was pretty small. But for the second encounter, I was kinda at peace, I was confident I would get through. I was alone with my siblings, plus one acquaintance living with us that night, my parent had gone to vigil. I shared the same room with that acquaintance (a big bro), when the robbers knocked, he was asked to open the door gently, or they would shoot and force their way in. On sighting him, they thought nobody was in my room. When they asked him for his siblings, he pointed to the other rooms, and the robbers rounded up everybody in the house. The money those crooks came for was easy to find my dad's room. So they checked every other room, for additional money.
The standard procedure in those days was to come in, break all bulbs, and then operate with torchlights, I was already awake, when everyone was assembled, and that big bro beaten, I heard him cry like a baby, "bad day devil drink water" I had rolled to the edge of my bed. Those big "spring suspension" bed, one of the robbers came in, raised the first bed in the room, nothing underneath. Then it was time to raise my bed at the other end of the room. I thought he had seen me hiding, and was already pointing his gun at my head, just like those foreign movie. I didn't scream, I just laid there praying to God and asking for forgiveness. He raised the bed, checked underneath and left the room. Till today, I couldn't figure out if he saw me and ignored me, or he didn't notice me at all. Till day break, I didn't leave my bed, neither could I sleep. I actually thought I was going to die that day. They visited again some years after, but I wasn't scared of sh*t anymore, I even tried looking at their faces.

Like the astral whatever they called it, I was white and I was leaving my body, shit scared the hell out of me meeehn I remembered my family and how sad they will be and I was like FUK IT! I'm not leaving this body I just walked back to where I was on the bed and lay exactly how my body was and Immediately I jerked back to the real world my heart was pounding so hard and fast that I can feel it hitting my chest like it wants to break my chest. That night was crazy.

The scariest day of my life.
This happened 11th of February 2015. I went for a seminar which lasted for two days. After the seminar I decided to go home. I boarded a bus from ojota to ikorodu. When I arrived Haruna junction,i had to cross over to the other side of the road,then it began to rain heavily, as one side of the inner way was flooded,i decided to take a short cut,i bush wacked for about 5mins, I came to a very bush environment that look like a mechanic workshop, the rain started raining heavily so I decided to find shade in one of the cars over there. I entered inside the car and was waiting for the rain to reduce a Lil bit. Then in 5 mins time I saw a man who was dressed in black and was wearing agbada stoped right in the corner of the bush. He looked back and front and also sideways, then he bent down, I was at a vantage position because I could see clearly and the proximity wasn't that long.

Right in front of my eyes this man bent down and tuned into a black goat. I couldn't believe what my eyes just saw. He entered inside the bush and vanished.

I opened the car door(very dirt car with oil stains) and took to my hills. I ran without looking back.

How I came back and crossed that flooded road was what I can't figure out how I did that.

This life is full of mysteries. I couldn't sleep that Night.



My second scariest moment was around August 9th 2013. Armed robbers numbering 15 robbed my lodge. They gained access to my room through my kitchen window. As they were breaking my kitchen window buglary, I was aware, I didn't even know what to do,while they were breaking it, I was arranging 2k for them. Immediately I brought out the 2k I went back to bed pretending I was asleep. The two guy that entered my room woke me up and the asked me where the money is, where you keep the 2k they said,i was surprised out of fear I gathered murale and told them I had no money. They took my express music phone, but thank God they couldn't locate my laptop, psp, golden watch and 50k.

Then one of them said to the other," this guy no dey give us better business oo" and I was told to lie down of which I obliged. My head was kicked continuously and I was threatened by them that if they see any money they will shoot my two legs, I had to tell them I just remembered I had 2k which my frnd gave me,so I gave them the 2k of which they collected. They both had an ak-45, an axe and a bottle of chemicals,with charms round their waist.

I can take the both of them down I said to my self but what about the remaining 13?, so I decided to give up.

After they collected my 2k,express music phone, and my party time spray, they were about going to the next room, so one of them remembered my freezer, he opened it and stole my cake, my power hourse drink and the bread I bought.
They left my room and preceded to the next room and so on.
One of the most sexy babe in my lodge was raped,i could hear her cry while the banging were going on.
After everything the vigilantes came and we're forming "if to say I dey,i for spray dem with bullet,this and that".


After everything was calmed,i quietly brought out my laptop and other expensive things out. I took my bath and rushed to the bank to deposit my 50k.
May we never experience robbery.

My worst fear is the thought of losing my loved ones so I get pretty scared wen I receive certain calls from home. I can't forget wen my mum was shot while running from a robbery attack at our old house. I was still in school when I got a call that my mom has been shot. I almost died that evening. She was operated on and a total of nine bullets was removed from her body. We nicknamed her "Mrs 50 cent".
The second one was wen my younger sis was involved in a motor accident on her way back from her three weeks orientation program @ taraba nysc camp. The person who called us said she was not moving and her neck and legs were broken. Mehn it was hell, I got so scared... losing my immediate younger sister at a very young age. Thanks to God and the medical team @ Gboko general hospital, we received another call saying she is now breathing and had just a neck fracture. E b me mek I slap the first caller, check out where my dad was crying, our only 1st class pikin at that young age. Chukwu e kwela.
Thank God for the gift of life though, premature death will never be our portion in Jesus name. Amen.

Re: When Was The Scariest Moment Of Your Life? by Dynamiq(m): 2:18am On Jun 22, 2018
My scariest moment was my second experience with armed robbers, way back in December 2000. Location: Ughelli, Delta State.
I joined a Chisco Bus from Port Harcourt to Lagos. The bus, in a convoy with two others, started the journey at around 10pm at night on a Friday. By around 1 or 2am just after we crossed a small bridge, the bus suddenly stopped and next thing was that we saw many men emerging from the bush, flashing their torches at the bus and ordering us to disembark. The driver of our bus quickly opened his own door and somehow managed to escape into the bush. Meanwhile, someone among us, who was at the front of the bus, switched off the lights of the bus and the whole bus interior went dark. I don't know why he did so. Everybody was hesitating to be the first to step out of the bus. This enraged the robbers outside and at that moment they began to fire upon the glasses of the bus. It was then we realised that they were well armed because they were spraying on the glasses of the bus. We were all lying down in the bus by that time and the shattered glasses were falling on our body. By that time the ladies among us had began to cry, begging that we should all begin to do whatever the robbers asked us to do. Suddenly, the robbers started stepping into the bus, forcefully pushing us out and asking us to lie flat on the road. I was the third or fourth to be pulled out and the robber pulling me out slapped me so hard that my head hit the body of the bus and I felt momentarily dizzy. Then things began to get worse: suddenly one or two of the robbers started shooting sporadically at the other end of the bus and we heard a sound or two on the ground. Then, we heard the steps of whoever did the shooting, coming to our direction. Next thing was that the the men approaching ordered about seven of us, all men, to stand up. When we stood up, they lined us up and the two men positioned themselves, pointing their rifles at us. I closed my eyes thinking it was the end when suddenly, one of the robbers; the only one speaking plain English among them (the others were speaking pidgin English), told them not to shoot us. Then an argument ensued among them. The one that was saying we should not be shot seemed to have some authority but nevertheless, most of the others, who had now joined them were we were lined up, were against his no-shoot order, arguing to our hearing that the soft spoken guy killed people during their last operation but that now he didn't want them to do their own killing. This was my scariest moment as we listened as these men argued for about five minutes about whether we should be killed or not. I didn't even know whether I prayed at that moment or not. So many things went through my mind as we awaited their decision.
At the end, the 'no-shoot guy' had his way and we were spared and told to lie down on the road again while the robbers ransacked the bus.
Eventually they disappeared into the bush. We didn't even know how they melted into the bush. We latter learnt that nobody was killed and that the shootings earlier done at the other end of the bus might have been to further terrify us. Only one man, a naval officer, was injured and bleeding on the head and a few guys who were badly beaten by the robbers. We decided to wait near that locality before continuing the journey next day.
But in many ways it could have been a lot worse. Some people living in that area latter told us that armed robbers were very active on that particular road; that they regularly waylaid buses, killing passengers and that they actually killed some travelers on that same spot a week earlier.
When we eventually got to Lagos later the next day, our bus was a sight to behold as people marvelled at the bullet-riddled glasses of the bus.
