I’ve worked at half a dozen different places in my life, and by and large the settings have been pretty tame.
The wildest was probably a college dormitory.
After reading about hair-raising moments in the workplace, I wracked my brain to think what mine would be.
I did get off a plane once, on my way to London, only to hear that there had been a terrorist attack there WHILE I WAS IN THE AIR.
And when I worked in the library, there was a very creepy man who liked to follow me through the stacks.
Here, 10 other people share their scariest moments from a variety of different professions.
