A British man had a hilariously exaggerated reaction recently to a scary virtual reality experience.

Dan Jones, who admits he loathes the horror genre, tested an experience called "Face Your Fears" at a home in Brighton on August 25 and wound up shrieking in terror every time a virtual ghost jumped out at him.

"To say I hate horror is a complete understatement," Jones said.

To say I hate horror is a complete understatement. When I was about 4 my cousin jumped out on me with a mask. I stopped breathing and everyone thought I was going to die. Immediately after it became apparent that I fundamentally changed as a child. I wouldn’t leave my mums side for over two years and became an introvert.

So, what better thing to do on a bank holiday weekend than to have a go at facing those fears again. As you can see I’m clearly over it
