[Serious] What is the downright SCARIEST thing that has ever happened to you, be it paranormal or otherwise?

My Boyfriend took me to visit my Family one Christmas. I was taking random pictures of my Family because I barely get to see them, I was using my phone to take the pictures and later that night I decided to upload them to my Mums computer so she had copies of them. I noticed an "orb" in one of the pictures, then once I had seen it I found myself looking for them in the other pictures. I found them in every picture. They were all taken in the living room. My Mum freaked out a little and asked me to take pictures in other rooms to see if I could get anymore orbs. Every other room was clear, came back to the living room and took more pictures from different spots and different angles, lights on, lights off and the orbs were back in every picture.

My Mum ended up visiting me at my House one time, by this point I had a new phone, so different camera, in all the pictures of my Mum there were orbs, all the pictures without my Mum were clear.

Last year my Mum and her Husband went to stay in a Castle on one of those tour things where you get a guide and they take you around the grounds, and in each room of the castle, once the tour was over they were free to roam around and take a look for themselves. The weekend went by and they came home and uploaded their pictures to facebook.

I was looking at one of the pictures of my Mum, she was standing next to a pitch black doorway, I noticed something behind her in the darkness, the best way I could describe it would be that it was small and it looked like it was wearing a hood, you could clearly make out a hood, like a small dark figure.

My Mum is no longer welcome at our House, ever, and if we go to visit her we now stay in a Hotel.
