Have you ever been in an old, abandoned building at night?

Why people ask this

Scary questions get traction because everyone wants to know if their weird experience was unique or universal — usually it is more universal than they thought. On have.you, this question is part of a category played by people across every kind of setting — parties, road trips, dinners, late-night calls — which is why the same question reads differently in every group. The interesting part is rarely the answer itself; it is the follow-up, the story behind the yes, or the surprised reaction when somebody answers the opposite way. That is what keeps Have You Ever questions in rotation long after most party games get retired.
