Every adventure involves an element of danger—it’s the danger that makes
adventures so exciting and hard to resist. People willingly spend good money to
experience that same thrill without the physical risk. It’s this fact of human
nature that keeps haunted house attractions and sky-diving schools in business.
The impulse to face risks is in us all. Indeed, the fascination with danger can
prove to be such a powerful lure that some people will gamble with their own
lives to confront a mystery or explore a new world. We’ve all watched as the
unwitting hero of a horror movie is about to walk through a darkened doorway
and wanted to yell, “Don’t go in there! Are you crazy?” But what would you do
if it were you?
Our next scenario leads us into the dark world, where the line between simple thrills and actual fear is blurred…
1. You are in an old, abandoned building where no human has set foot for years and have discovered a staircase leading underground. Slowly you make your way down, counting the steps as you go. One step… two… three… How many steps is it to the bottom of the stairs?
2. The underground room is pitch black. Then, from the darkness you hear the sound of another person. Is the person weeping softly? Moaning wordlessly? Is it a voice speaking to you?
3. How do you react on hearing the sound of this other person? Do you try to search out the source? Is your first instinct to run up the stairs without looking back? Or are you paralyzed with fear and frozen where you stand?
4. You hear a person now calling your name and see a figure descending from the light at the top of the stairs. Who is this person coming down the stairs?
