This isn't exactly the season to be jolly, so, as we move into Halloween weekend,  let's ponder for a moment exactly what the feeling is like right before you die.

Okay, so this is a bit morbid - but it is completely interesting. Nobody wants to die, but nobody can escape it.

The fact is, pretty much the only people who know exactly what it feels like moments before death are people who have actually and truly died. That leaves the rest of us  to wonder what it might be like.

According to the American Chemical Society, the feelings we get when we watch a horror movie are similar to what we would feel just before we die. There are all sorts of chemical reactions taking place in our brains when we experience fear. These transactions cause a number of events to take place in our brains and our bodies.

Watch the video for the scientific explanation for what it feels like just before death. Yes, this is a bit morbid - but it IS Halloween - and isn't that what it's all about?
