[Music] I'll never forget this night the pizza place I worked at was about to close and I was getting ready to go home when the phone rang I was working the counter alone that night so I was taking calls I picked up the phone there was complete silence so I hung up about a minute later the phone rang again so I picked up again still silence I was about to hang up again when I heard the very weak and cold voice of an old woman on the other end she said she wanted a regular pie
delivered I remained polite on the phone but on the inside I was screaming I just wanted to get home and end my shift I called out to my boss that somebody was requesting a delivery he told me I had to go I was upset at first but I realized it's another tip and the old ones usually tip the most so I decided it was okay I took down the address and told her it would be there soon but she had already hung up I thought that was rude but I ignored it and yelled to the
chef that I needed one regular my boss told me to just go home after the delivery as the place would be closed so a little before 10:00 I got in my car and put the address into my GPS the house was 7 miles away the GPS took me to the quiet side of town I arrived at the house it was a small onef floor house on a very quiet and empty block I took the pizza and walked up to the door and rang the doorbell there were no lights on in the house I hoped that
she hadn't given me the wrong address I rang the doorbell again there was still no answer I was about to give up when I turned my head and saw something body standing at the window I got a little freaked out and backed up at first but I eventually got closer to the window to see the person it was an old woman probably in her late' 7s she was just staring at me with a blank expression I yelled to her through the glass that I had her Pizza she didn't react to What I Said So I
screamed it louder a big smile ran across her face not a pleasant genuine smile it was a smile that sent chills down my spine I still remember that exact face she made through the window I decided that I was freaked out enough and got back to my car and set the pizza in the passenger seat I had to text my boss about this I shot him a quick text and started my car ready to get the hell away I looked to my right to get one more look only to see the woman standing right outside
my passenger side window giving me the same stare she had given me before I put my car and drive and floored down the street not looking back my boss never made me do a late night delivery again this happened 4 years ago when I was still in high school I was told to do my last delivery of my shift I got in my car which was a 1999 Camry perfect for delivering pizzas I gpsd the address on my phone I lived Upstate in the country so all pizza deliveries were long drives I remember the sun
was starting to set so it was probably around 7:00 I'd say after a good 15 minutes of driving through the forested dirt roads my GPS said I had arrived it was an old little cottage Lake House made almost entirely of wood it was sitting all by itself in the middle of absolutely nothing but forests the lawn was completely unkempt as the grass was almost at knee height I was used to this kind of thing so I didn't think much of it I took the pizza to the front door there was no doorbell so I knocked
loudly on the door within 10 seconds I heard the sound of footsteps hitting wood on the inside of the house the footsteps made it to the door and stopped I started to feel uneasy I got the feeling that I was being wed watched and that's when I noticed there was a peephole on the door it's the pizza guy I called out I heard a low harsh sounding voice on the other side of the door telling me to bring the pizza out back I didn't like the idea of going back there something didn't seem right are
you sure sir I called out he didn't answer my question the sound of footsteps didn't move away from the door so I had the feeling he was still watching me I almost found myself walking back to my car but I decided I didn't want any trouble with my boss the last time I brought a pizza back he gave me attitude so I reluctantly walked through the uncut grass and around the small house to the back I remember there was a shed and a little patio back there on the patio there was a table with four
chairs surrounding it in one of the chairs facing away from me I saw the head of somebody sitting in the seat I began walking over and said excuse me but the person didn't even move an inch excuse me I said again louder then from behind me I heard over here I turned around to see a man poking his head out from the corner of the house looking at me with a crazy smile come over here I want to show you something I freaked out turned around and ran around the house in the opposite direction back
to my car for some some reason still holding the pizza I got in my car started it and got away from there on my way back to the pizzeria I pulled over to the side of the road and called the police eventually I was informed that there was no sign of anybody having been in that house for a long time I quit my delivery job a few days after that I have no idea what would have happened to me had I gone up to that man but to this day I still wish I had just
turned turn my head to see who or what was sitting in that patio [Music] chair I was doing late night deliveries during this particular shift when I worked this job I lived in the Poconos it was very rural up there I often found myself driving down roads surrounded by nothing but trees just like this night only it was dark and foggy this time driving down a shortcut to town that I had taken many times before I slammed on the brakes when I saw somebody jump out from the bushes onto the road the sickening bump and
thump from the front of the car confirmed that I had hit the person I put my hand to my forehead cursing to myself I couldn't believe what just happened I just hit a person I got out of my car and checked to see if they were all right it was a man wearing a black hoodie with the hood up he lay motionless by my car tire I had no idea what to do at this point I was panicking why the hell was this guy in the middle of nowhere why did he jump in front of
my car and then things got weirder I heard a scream a scream for help coming from the woods to the left of me somebody was in trouble I looked at the man I hit with my car he was still on the ground motionless I figured I'd only be gone for a minute for whatever stupid reason I thought it was okay to leave The Man Behind to go into the woods I moved in the direction I heard the scream originally hoping to hear another but it was just total silence except for the night creatures making their
sounds where are you I yelled out it was at that moment I heard the sound of a foot crushing the leaves on the ground I turned in the direction of the sound and even in the dark and foggy weather I could still make out the figure of somebody hiding behind a tree opposite me I ran as fast as I could back to my car looking back constantly to make sure I wasn't being followed when I got back to my car the man I had hit was gone I didn't stick around to wonder where he went
I just got back in my car and proceeded down the road my heart was racing the whole drive through but I still ended up delivering the pizza I got to the house and when I rang the bell a middle-aged woman answered after paying I noticed that her eyes focused on something behind me then she asked me they let you guys have delivery Partners now I was confused and asked her what she meant she told me you got someone with you in your car I felt a pain in my stomach as I turned and saw somebody
sitting in the back seat of my car I called the cops using the woman's phone and they arrived shortly after but the person in the back seat of my car was already gone the scariest thing about this whole story the police found a Blood Stained knife on the floor of my car right where the man had been hiding this memory still haunts me every day and I can genuinely tell you it's painfully scary just to imagine how things could have turned out if I hadn't made the delivery
