Over the winter I was walking down a normally pretty well lit street, however it was dim because of the cloudy dark sky and there wasn't anyone about (usually the street is pretty busy), except for these four or five guys, I think they were a couple of years younger than me, but they were all taller and wearing hoodies.

I was seriously creeped out but decided to take out my mobile phone and pretend I was texting someone. As I went by them they were laughing, I felt it was kinda menacing.

Well I was soo relieved getting passed them and heading to more a populated junction where I'd be almost home, however I heard one of them running behind me. As he got closer, it took all my strength to put one foot in front of the other. I was even too scared to run (I know that sounds a bit dumb), it was like my legs didn't have the energy.

My heart pounded, the rapid footfalls got nearer and nearer. As he was right behind me I closed my eyes. I figured he was going to grab me or hit me. He just ran past and darted into a house. Well I felt panicked for the rest of the evening and night.

Anyhoo this is like two minutes from where I live, thankfully there is another street I can take to get to the shops.
