I had a seizure while playing Amnesia, but that wasn't related to the game at all.

I was playing Silent Hill 4 back when it first came out and one night when I was home alone, my bedroom door just kinda swung open. I was home alone, so I just turned the game off and tried to ignore it. shit fucked with me, though. Thinking back, I'm pretty sure my house was haunted since my parents got it for super cheap and the previous owner was shady as fuck. I never finished SH 4, either.

>About 2 hours in
>On edge of my seat the entire time, goosebumps
>Jump scare occurs the second my uncles cat leaps at me from above without me knowing it's there
>Claws the fuck out of my face
I couldn't even bring myself to play it 12 years later now, had to watch a lets play. Horror doesn't even phase me anymore but that game still makes my skin crawl.
>TFW I found out it's a collectors item but I can't find it now

While playing, nothing notable.
But when I was watching the movie The Grudge on my PC (alone in the house) I had a fucking blackout, like 15 minutes after the stairs blackout scene. I just froze for about one minute (could be more or less, I lost completely track of time) in front of my computer. After that I saw at the window that the blackout was in the whole building and felt a bit more relaxed. Still this stupid event scared the shit out of me
the wwi story in eternal darkness always got me.

I've always wanted to play it. Hopefully it shows up in the classics section on the ps store or something.

It got like a 60% by most reviewers and sold poorly, hence the collectors item. Unfortunately I wouldn't hold your breath.

Same guy, this isn't vidya related but I feel like sharing it anyways.
>At girl friend's house with best guy friend
>Bought a Ouija board
>Neither me or the guy believe in ghosts or anything related
>Once used it in a cemetery with the girl freaking the fuck out because she's dumb and absolutely believes in it
>Bring it back to her house and mess around with it again at he kitchen table
>Ask it a few questions, know they're basically just a psychological trick
>After a bit, ask a "Dangerous" question of some sort, don't know what
>Ouija thing moves quickly off the board and a second later the power went out
I still don't believe in the supernatural or anything like that, but that moment still gives me the chills. The girl hates living at that house now
>mygfbought me Evil Within close to Halloween
>one night, I was supposed to go with her to a Halloween event, but I worked till 2am at a bar and didn't get home till 3
>she was still at the event, so I had some time to catch some private vidya
>at the part where long haired arm bitch is chasing you
>power goes out in our area
>freak out and try to find my phone for light
>just as I reach for my phone I hear loud shouts from my next door neighbor
>at this point it's pin drop silence, so everything is crystal clear
>10 minutes later I see a shitton of cops pull up
Apparently, during the power outage or maybe even before it, my neighbor was robbed and her husband got stabbed in the leg.
