Narrative:
At approximately XC00 on jan/xa/01, I was attempting to land at cdw when a passenger in my airplane began to scream. I was able to contact the tower regarding landing, but the passenger continued to raise his voice, making it difficult to hear all of the communication from the tower. I believe that I was able to hear the instructions, but it is possible that I missed some communications secondary to the screaming. I landed on runway 27 and taxied back on taxiway B, told to hold short on runway 22. I did stop short of runway 22, but crossed the hold short line as my attention was diverted in trying to calm down the passenger. I then was allowed to taxi to my hangar, where I discharged the passenger, who was now relaxed.
