Did anyone else get this terrifying encounter?

[Cactus78]

It could be argued that I had a more terrifying experience...

Not only did I see the first encounter by stupidly opening that 2nd door, but as I was leaving the final room with the two rods inside, the gatherer was standing right next to the flame under the chains hanging from the roof. He didn't even see me! Shocked, and not thinking straight, I decided the smartest thing to do would be to leg it all the way out of the storage. As I left the room, he hit me once as I ran the long way around the flame, but I just kept running. FREEDOM! They don't run very fast right!?... After making it down the stairs and into the next room, I did a quick head-check round Daniel's left shoulder. I then proceeded to shit my pants with great force and scream like a little girl as the monster hulked inches behind me. The slow-down of strafing was enough to get me killed, and now my Mother is genuinely concerned for my sanity whenever I play Amnesia.

Great work, Frictional. You've worried our Mothers and soiled our underwear. A job well done.
