Alright, I'm about to start my next big writing project so I am doing a bit o' research.

One question: What do you think is the scariest, most horrifying supernatural thing that could happen to you?

For example, for me it would be being dragged into pitch black woods by an unseen force.

Please just serious answers.

Not sure if this falls under the definition of "supernatural" in the slightest, but...

I have an extreme fear of being underwater in a large body of water and realizing there's some kind of gigantic fish or other animal in the water around me. I don't know why, but I guess it's the idea of being helplessly out of my element in a vast 3-dimensional space with a huge otherworldly creature which is entirely in its element and can move freely around me... and probably eat me.

The ocean's so goddamn deep...

It's an awfully specific fear that I never knew I had until the first time I was swimming in a first-person video game and found myself freaking the heck out. Mostly comes up in dreams these days...

^ Pretty much this.

Screw being eaten by a deep one.

[Pnx]

Man, that one tomb raider level where you spawn at the bottom of the ocean... I remember that freaked me out as a kid thinking that you were so far from the surface you couldn't possible reach it before you drowned.

[AndClayton]

Man, that is a pretty legitimate fear. I mean, humans have only explored 5% of the ocean so being eaten by a deep one really isn't that far fetched if you look at it haha.

I'd have to say that waking up on top of a skyscraper with no clear way to get down (and survive) is pretty much my worst case scenario. Especially if there's wind.

Being in a large, abandoned and derelict building, walking along a long corridor. I think I can see something at the other side but my eyes can't quite see through the darkness. After a minute or so I can just about make out somebody standing there at the other side. It's a clown, staring at me. I try to see his facial expression but the more I look the worse it gets. Words surface in my brain from nowhere, as if someone has spoken in my ear. "DON'T LOOK AT HIS FACE, DON'T LOOK AT HIS FACE, DON'T LOOK AT HIS FA-"

I used to have that fear when I was a child with coulrophobia.

Living forever, but completely unable to use my body.

Having my body turned inside out in a way that is both painful and permits it to function, but wouldn't kill me.

I was actually going to say something like this, a horrific injury but not being able to die from it.  Like, being a zombie but with still fully-functioning nerves.

[UristMcDwarf]

Waking up in the morning and being the only human (or animal, for that matter) left on Earth, everyone else vanished without a trace.

[Leafsnail]

You're still conscious, but someone else has taken control of all your motor functions.  You don't know who they are or what they want to do.

[Armok]

The motor function thing, but they proceed doing horrible things like killing your family and them flaying you/themselves alive. Then this whole thing get groundhog-day'd.

Yeah, and functioning enough that you can bother other people with your appearance.

I agree with this.
