I guess you weren't thinking about anything gaming or supernatural, and the fear caught you by surprise? I am tempted to think through this few words, that you perceived something "unnatural". As playing less Cthulhu: I did play Cthulhu for a year (long ago) in the perfect place with the perfect gamers. We did play in an empty building (one player was in fact guarding it), at night, only lighted with candles, and using props (plastic guns, old clothes, esoteric junk, etc.). During those gaming session we would scare up ourselves, getting adrenaline shocks at the first (natural) sound in the dark hall where we did play. What I can say is: NEVER GOT a sensation of danger, sudden and strong fear, believe to have seen real ghosts, that way. NEVER. My own little experiences happened more than 10 years after having quit playing Cthulhu (because we couldn't anymore play with these perfect gaming conditions, and normal sessions looked bland comparatively). In my experiences, meeting with the supernatural catch you by surprise, and more than seeing/hearing/etc., it's about sudden and strong feelings you normally never have. Also, such experiences never happen twice the same. It is always unique. (I have had a few others, but that's too long and too personal to tell).</blockquote>
