Ep. 1
Scared Stiff! Can people be scared out of this world and into the afterlife!
The phrases “scared to death” and “frightened to death” are firmly established in the English
language. When people use one or other of these phrases it is usually to describe, in a
metaphorical rather than a literal sense, a shocking or terrifying experience, often but not
always of supernatural origin. My own collection of memorates includes examples “I nearly
died from fright” and “it felt as if someone had walked over my grave” (Clarke 2000). These
phrase/s were not accidental, but were used to articulate actual psychological and
physiological reactions or sensations experienced by the individuals reporting supernatural
experiences.
