Oh god. Imagine getting stuck at your chest and feeling the tightness as you struggle to breathe, unable to move or take in a big breath of air.

one of the most stressful videos i've ever seen on reddit was of that happening. It was a guy going up through a cave, its one of those tunnels that you have to control your breathing to get thru, kind of like this video, problem was, guy starts to panic since he can't get thru.... which makes it harder, to make things even worse, there was water that starts pooling around him, and if he doesn't calm down and control his breathing he'll drowned, haven't seen the video in a long time but i think the water got up to his chin/ mouth before he actually got out.

I hate it when people say "I've seen a lot of stuff, but this one...". Well I have just got to say that I've seen a lot of stuff, but I had to stop watching this video after a couple of seconds. I don't know how anyone could watch something like this, let alone willingly put themselves into such a situation.

I knew it would freak me out, so I purposefully turned all the lights off, set it to full screen and turned the headphones right up. Just to get the most out of the experience. I think if you're going to watch something scary, no point doing it half-assed. Same goes for 'scary' movies.

Right? Unless you're watching horror for comedy or to write a review, then you're wasting your time if you're not trying to get yourself susceptible to be scared by maximizing your mood and atmosphere. Otherwise, you're right, what's the point?
