First time you recall something legitimately scaring you.

It could be IRL, movie, game, anything. What is the first time you remember something actually scaring the hell out of you? . Mine was in a game series that you wouldn't even expect to be terrified every single moment.
Nancy Drew: Shadow at the Water's Edge . I mean, the ESRB labeled it as "for ages 10 and up", fucking really?!?!?!? It should at least have been rated 13+. I mean, the series has always ventured into horror, but before this it is usually subtle and you could see it coming. This one though, well. Just watch one of the many terrifying moments for yourself.View attachment videoplayback.mp4
 
I used to have hallucinogenic episodes when I was a child. Not sure where they came from quite honestly but I did. So anyway, when I was put to bed mid-day, cause that's what you do with young kids, these episodes would start and the tops of my bed posts would pop off the bed and "hop" toward me. Then they would make this terrifying screech almost akin to a roosters cawing. I have no idea where it came from or why but they went away soon enough. Point is, for someone who wasn't even 6, it was absolutely terrifying.
 
My brother sneaking in through our third story window by climbing up the mulberry tree in the middle of the night.
 
The first Tornado Warning that I can recall in my childhood.

*Edit:
No, I have something else:
The first time I heard an A-10 fire its Vulcan cannon overhead when I was deployed.
 
I punched a guy out in the bar one time. I thought he was dead because he was just laying there limp, and he was not breathing. I saw police lights flashing outside of the bar's windows, so I ran out of the back. Later, a friend texted me and told me that the guy had regained consciousness immediately after I left. The cops hauled him off. I knew everyone in the bar so they all acted like they had no idea who knocked the guy out. That feeling when you punch someone one time and you think that you might have killed them and that you might be doing fifteen years in prison is pretty damn scary.
 
Ever since an experience I had when I was 10 I have suffered from a reoccurring dream where I am going through my normal day but then I trip and either get hit by someone or a car. It is strange but that is the earliest actually frightening thing I can recall
 
I was probably around 5 or 6 and had a dose of the flu (no covid in those days). In the middle of the night I dreamed that I was a chicken and a chickenhawk was coming to get me - could see it in the lighter area of the window. Yelling for mum who bolted in and soothed me back to sleep. Thank god for mothers, what would we do without them?
 
A dream I had when I was 2 or 3 about Freddy Kreuger chainsawing me in half.
I don't recall watching the movies, but I recall that dream, I remember the fear and tension. I'm sure I woke up screaming.
 
Either the first time I was shot at or when we had to get some teens off a ledge on Half Dome in Yosemite and were worried they could take us over the edge with them.
 
My dad brought this home for us to watch for movie night. When my mother asked if it was "kid friendly" he said "Well, it's about puppets right?." I was only three but I still remember the nightmares I had that night.

 
I had a really weird dream in childhood, that scared the hell out of me. I could have been about 5 by that time I guess. In the dream I was walking outside, and suddenly I started floating without any control, higher and higher, and nobody, including me could hear myself scream, I literarly couldn't make any voice. Now I see it just weird, but back when I was little, this was really, really scary.

They say everyone experiences dreams of flying, perhaps this was your version. The nightmare version I guess.
 
A scene from "The Shining 1980" that I caught glimpse of when I was 10 years old.
I think it was the kid seeing the ghost twin sisters and the corridors being flooded by blood
I almost made myself poopy doopy
 
Earliest MEMORY of being scared witless? Yeah. Was four and doing a bit... let’s call it Pan Piping of my friends. Suddenly grabbed by the neck thrown up and over a car and then beaten. Spent a week in the hospital and sent home when my father, the one who threw and beat me, refused to let me be treated further.

Clearly remember the throw and boot stomping on me.
