The Scariest True Story Ever Told | (Scary Stories)

I'm gonna cut right to the chase this is one of the scariest stories that I've ever heard it was sent to me two years ago by somebody named Gemini 24 and they have since deleted their reddit account and I have no idea what became of them I have featured this story a few times since I started my youtube career and it is still hands down the scariest I have ever heard I thought that it deserved its own video I hope you enjoy I'm 28 years old and this is the first time I've thought about this

incident in detail because of how traumatizing it was I met my ex girlfriend in California in 2010 we had both lived there our whole lives but decided to move to Maine a couple years after we started dating she had flown to Maine on a business trip in 2012 and fell in love with everything about it the small towns the scenery and the people she came home and convinced me to pack up our whole lives and move there and so we did we saved up a bunch of money and rented a huge moving truck the plan

was for me to drive the moving truck across the country while she stayed behind three days to finish her classes at the local community college which were due to end at that time I would have just waited until her classes were finished but we decided to take advantage of an incredibly good deal that we were offered from the company who provided the moving truck she had a car that she had to drive there anyways while I towed my car behind the moving truck my brother came with me on the trip helping me drive the drive

was obviously a very long one and when my brother and I arrived in Maine about four days after we had left we were exhausted after unloading the truck and sleeping for about 16 hours we decided to visit the small town of Belfast which was about 14 miles away from my new house we ate some seafood at a little family owned joint rented a scary movie and made the drive back to the house my new house was literally in the middle of nowhere during the day the view of the lake in my backyard was amazing the

woods surrounding my house were awesome and everything was really beautiful at night it was a different story the house was incredibly creepy to be in the whole house was surrounded with windows you could not see anything looking out those windows at night but I'm sure that if you were standing outside you could quite easily see in my brother had a flight booked back to California the following day and we woke up very early in the morning to drive to Portland where the airport was I eventually made it back alone and wasn't able to make any

phone calls or watch any cable TV because we had no service out there yet and no cable or Internet hooked up my cell phone did not work anywhere on that property the only thing I had was a box of DVDs that was it when I made it back I decided to try out my new fishing pole that we had bought in town I wasn't out at the lake very long as it started to get dark in Maine very fast in the fall I went back to the house and sat in the living room in the

chair looking out the windows at the scenery my view was getting darker and darker I turned on all the lights in the house and quickly became creeped out when it became pitch-black outside imagine being in the middle of the forest in the middle of nowhere at night and looking around you could not see your own hand if you held it right in front of your face and when I say it was pitch black I mean you can't see anything we hadn't hung up any curtains or blinds yet and I had the extremely uneasy feeling that

somebody was outside the house watching me watching me go from room to room I decided to hang up sheets over all the windows using thumbtacks I sat on the couch in the living room and put in a funny movie to try and shake the unnerving feeling that I had it did not work I eventually realized I had to try to get some sleep and my eyelids were becoming sore I was getting very tired I covered myself with blankets on the couch and turned off the TV after a few minutes my eyes had adjusted and I

could see around the living room very slightly my eyes were very heavy and I fell asleep I woke up sometime later and it was still night and still very dark I reached for my bottle of coke that I had on the ground in front of me and took a big gulp I set it back down and looked around the room now I'm having difficulty putting these next emotions into words that I could accurately convey my heart began to throb when I noticed a man standing in the corner of the room I couldn't see his eyes

but he had to have been looking at me I did nothing and said nothing and not by choice but because I couldn't I was frozen he didn't move and it was clear that he was trying to not be seen after a few moments I did my best to think rationally and logically I'm not sure that he knew that I had seen him I had a blanket over me which might have shrouded my face in which he wouldn't be able to see my eyes after about a minute of gut-wrenching fear I somehow decided to do something

and it was the hardest thing that I've ever done I forced myself to cough I did it while getting up in an effort to give him the impression that I didn't know that he was there I slowly made it to my feet and walked across the icy cold wood flooring to the bathroom around the corner of the living room he didn't move I made it into the bathroom and nothing happened I closed the bathroom door and slowly turned the lock to the upright position tears went down my face as I backed up into the bathtub

behind me I was staring at the door I suddenly realized there was a small window up above the bathtub that I could most likely crawl through I moved to the shower curtain as silently as I could and reached up to the window lock I unlocked it and tried sliding the window open to the left the window began to squeak when I pulled it open and I froze hoping that the man didn't hear it a couple seconds later I heard a tapping on the bathroom door it wasn't a knock but a tap and it didn't sound

like the tap of a finger it sounded like metal like he was tapping a knife against the door at this point I made the realization that the man either knew what I was doing or simply wanted me to know that he was outside the door adrenaline took over completely and I slid the window open and pushed the screen out onto the ground I tried not to exert any noise as I jumped up and began squeezing my body through this small window my head and upper body were out and I could not see inside the bathroom

anymore only the dense dark woods in front of me I was pulling my legs through the window when I suddenly felt the man grabbed my foot directly after that before I could even react I felt my ankle be sliced open I let out a noise of shock and surprise as I pulled out of his grasp and fell to the ground I started heaving and felt as if my heart would explode I stood up and looked around by very quickly dashed out into the woods and fell to the ground looking back at the house in the

window to the bathroom I felt my ankle which was throbbing from pain and brought my hand up to reveal it covered in slick blood the deathly serious situation I was in became real and horrifying I looked back at the house and suddenly saw the back door fly open the man ran down the steps and started looking around into the darkness searching for me I became a statue on the ground and tried to control my breathing he had a huge knife in his hand and it was wearing all black he was walking into the woods but

not near where I was laying he was grunting and soon after I lost sight of him I started frantically looking around thinking that at any moment he would spot me and stab me to death I saw nothing but trees and darkness there was a bit of snow on the ground from a couple days before and I was freezing and shaking at this point uncontrollably about ten minutes later I saw the man walk out of the trees from where he entered and went back inside the house I laid out there the rest of the night and

luckily the Sun started to rise only about an hour later after the Sun fully illuminated my surroundings I felt as though the man had probably left and I felt ready to move I made it to my feet and walked around the house to the front I saw that the front door was left wide open I slowly approached it and looked inside nothing I walked in a few steps and grabbed my car keys that were hanging on a hook by the front door I ran back to my car and unlocked it got inside and started the

engine I backed out of the long driveway and drove to the little general store a few miles from my house and this is where the story ends I got away and so did the intruder my ankle was pretty badly cut but it healed after a few months with no problems I suffered minor pneumonia from being outside for the time that I had but nothing too serious became of it this incident has made sleep very difficult for me but writing this has oddly enough made me somewhat drowsy I think maybe I'll try to go to sleep

right now thanks for listening you
