THE ELLEN SHOW — Ellen DeGeneres loves scaring people. She says herself that she's willing to go to great lengths to scare people, especially now that she knows getting scared can be good for you.

As it turns out, some people really do love getting scared by Ellen. Bountiful woman Cindy Gough got a major surprise when she took a trip to The Ellen Show last week with her husband and two friends.

While waiting for the show to start, Gough was separated from the rest of her group. The show staff asked her a few questions and then took her, along with about 15 other excited fans, into the studio where they were told to walk through the "Riff-Raff Room" one at a time.

"I had no idea what was going on, or where I was going," Gough said. "When I got close to the bathroom, they told me to go in there, and I did."

What Gough didn't know was that DeGeneres and Maroon 5 lead vocalist Adam Levine were waiting inside the bathroom stall with Halloween masks, cymbals and silly string.

Gough is the last woman to be scared in the video, and after the initial freak-out wears off, she's thrilled.

"No way! I've always wanted to be scared by you! I am so happy," Gough says in the video.

What we don't see is when later on, DeGeneres tried to scare her again while dancing through the audience.

"It's true that I'd always wanted to be scared by her," Gough said about the experience. "I love her scares. They're so funny. It certainly was a fun experience."

For some, checking off a major bucket list item involves traveling to an exotic location. But for Gough, she just wanted to get scared by Ellen DeGeneres. What unusual and fun items are on your bucket list? Let us know in the comments.
