Have you ever caught glimpses of some primal thing your body knew how to do, that you had no idea was built in there? An example: once I got stalked/chased down a long maze of deserted alleyways in Turkey. When I hit a dead end, he lunged at me. 1/

I'd always thought I'd be chiller in a situation like that, I'd often prepped myself for eye gouging or whatever in fantasies of being attacked, but all of that went out the window. I dropped to the floor and SCREEEAAAMEEDD this primal, bloodcurdling scream, and he ran away. 2/

And in hindsight like... what? It was absolutely instinctive, took complete control over me, my conscious mind was no longer present. I've never screamed like that before or since and good chance I won't again for the rest of my life. But I had no idea it was in me! So weird.

Screaming is surprisingly effective. Spec Ops use it to dominate the situation.

Saw my mother do that primal scream to gun-armed hijackers in our driveway one evening. They ran away.
