this happened when I was maybe 9 or 10 years old I was invited to a friend's birthday party and there was about 10 other kids there it was a friend named Tony and he was not my best friend but I knew him pretty well I also knew just about everybody else at his birthday party the party itself was at Tony's house which was maybe 5 minutes away from mine it was a really populated neighborhood with lots of houses I remember that the party was both inside and outside because this was during the summer I didn't
know much about what was planned for the party but when I got there I was pleasantly surprised Tony's parents had done a good job of setting everything up I remember they had video games inside of the house and lots of snacks inside as well then in the backyard and front yard they had activities like bags and mini golf and some other stuff so after getting there we played some games and eventually had pizza and cake then when it got a little bit later everyone kind of spread out some people were playing video games inside and
others went out to the yard I remember that Tony was inside but I went out into the front yard with two or three other kids we were hanging out there and it was beginning to get dark I don't remember exactly what we were doing but I remember that I was looking out into the street and I noticed this clown when well it was a man dressed up as a clown I'm not sure where he had come from but he was walking down the side of the street out front we soon noticed that he was walking
in our direction we figured that Tony's parents must have hired the clown it was probably a funny joke because Tony's parents were funny people so this clown guy walked right up to the front yard he then approached me and the other kids that were there then he waved at us without saying anything we didn't really know what to do the clown guy started making hand signals and stuff and then he walked up and grabbed one of my friend's arms he started to walk away with him before my friend pulled himself away the clown then turned
around and took a few steps towards us we all began to move back and away from him that's when the clown started to run in our Direction I remember that we all just took off running and went back inside the house we still thought it was probably a joke but it seemed kind of strange the clown did not follow us inside but after getting in in the house we told Tony who told his parents Tony's parents said that they did not hire a clown they were not expecting anybody in a clown costume we got the
creeps when we heard that so some random guy dressed as a clown who just approached us and acted all weird we all went outside to look but did not see him Tony's parents then called the police they made everybody stay inside for the rest of the night we all went to the windows and looked out of them I remember like a couple minutes later we saw the the clown jogging down the street when he passed by the house he turned and did a little wave towards us then he was quickly out of sight the police
got there maybe 5 to 10 minutes later the clown was no longer in the area though not long after everyone's parents came and picked him up so I left we never found out who the clown guy was or what he was doing this is something that took place when I turned 18 years old for a little background I'm a female it was the summer and I had recently graduated from high school so at around my birthday on one Saturday my parents had a birthday SLG graduation party for me it was at our house and quite
a few people showed up we had food catered and the party was mostly in the backyard first lots of family came by and then many of my friends started showing up as well the party lasted for several hours and everything was going well but towards the end that sort of changed it was probably like 5 something p.m. many people had left and just a few family members were still there I was sitting in the backyard with everyone but I got up to go get something to drink in our backyard it's mostly all fenced in and
not that large at the back side of it there's a Sha and my dad has an old fridge in there with some drinks in it I walked over there and when I got inside of the shed all of a sudden I heard somebody else walking in I looked up and this man was standing there who I did not recognize I just remember that he had sort of longer hair and was about average height when he approached me he said hi in a friendly way the man then said happy birthday to me and I could see
that he was holding a wrapped gift in his hand I was confused and the man then told me that he was my Dad's friend I sort of believed him because how else would this guy be here maybe he had just gotten there and was also going to get a drink it just seemed really strange that he would show up if he had never seen me before we had a brief conversation and the man was asking me how I was doing and stuff he then handed me the gift that he had got for me I said
thanks and then I said that I was going to go back over to my family I thought that the man would follow me back over at first he left the shed behind me the angle from the entrance of the shed is not visible from where everyone else was so after leaving the man went to the left instead of going to the right and he went behind the small area between the shed and The Back Fence there's about 3 or 4 ft until the fence that separates the backyard from the alleyway behind our house I thought
it was really strange that he was going back there and I didn't know why but I didn't question him instead I just walked back over to the rest of my family and friends where I had been been before I remember that I went over to my dad and I asked him if one of his friends was going to be there who I didn't know he said no and I then told him about the guy my dad seemed just as confused as I was and we went back over to look for the guy but he was
completely gone and must have left that made the whole thing seem pretty creepy I was still holding the gift that he gave me and I decided to open it up when I did I saw that it was a framed photo the picture was photoshopped of me and the man standing together it was the creepiest thing I've ever seen in my life and in the photo the guy was wearing sunglasses so it was harder to tell his exact identity my parents and I were so confused by the whole thing we tried to figure out who this
guy could possibly be but had no luck I never ended up finding out who the man was I'm just glad that I haven't seen him since I'm going to tell you a story that still makes me angry to this day even though it happened back when I was a kid this was when I was about 12 years old or so I went to the local school and was a shy kid but I did have several friends I remember there was this one kid at my school named Eric we had some mutual friends and certainly knew
who each other were but I wouldn't say we were friends and we never really hung out I didn't know a whole lot about about Eric but we had a class together and sat sort of near each other so I would often hear him talking to other people and when I was talking with my friends he would sometimes stop by and talk with our group I remember one of my friends said that he got invited to Eric's birthday party that weekend then to my surprise the next day Eric invited me to his party he told me
his address and the time and said to bring a present for him he wrote that information on a Post-It note I remember and then gave it to me I I felt good for being invited to his party as a shy kid I did not get invited to a whole lot of birthday parties Eric was not really known as that cool or popular but he certainly had a lot more friends than I did and I thought well of him I hadn't known that he considered me to be a good enough friend to invite to his party
so when Friday came Eric's party was that night I had gone out with my mom the previous day and got Eric a good present during the school day the one of my friends who was also invited told me that he wasn't going I guess he had to go to his sister's recital or something anyways that made me more nervous to go to Eric's party because I would no longer really know anybody else there that well so that night my mom drove me to Eric's house it was going to be asleep over and she said that
she would pick me up the next morning I was dropped off right on time and then I walked up to the house then I knocked on the door after a moment or two Eric himself opened up the door there was another another kid with him who I did not recognize he invited me inside and I heard some other kids in another room which sounded like it was at the other end of the house Eric told me to follow him and then he led me into the kitchen which was at the back side of the house
another kid then walked over from someplace else now it was Eric me and two other kids everyone else was still in some other room there was a kitchen table with a bunch of presents on it Eric told me to leave the present there and I did then he told me to follow him I thought he was going back to where everybody else was but instead he led me to the back door that was also in the kitchen this led to the backyard he told me to go outside and I didn't know why but I did
as soon as I was out the door he slammed the door shut behind me and started laughing his friend started laughing too I thought that he was joking at first I went back to the door and expected him to let me back inside but then I heard him locking the door he then said something like later loser then he covered the window to the door and walked away laughing at first I didn't know if it was still a joke or what but after standing outside for probably 5 minutes I realized that it was no joke
and he was not coming back then I felt really bad I was too embarrassed to go knock on a door and try to get back inside I didn't even want to anyways I just wanted to go home but I didn't have a cell phone back then my mom wouldn't think to go back until the next morning I was trying to figure out what to do I ended up walking back into the street I walked a ways down and eventually I ended up going to a random person's house I knocked on the door and luckily they
answered then I asked to use a phone to call my parents and I was able to my mom then came to pick me up when we got home she was able to find out the number of Eric's mom and she called her I remember that Eric's mom claimed she had no idea that I was even invited she drove Eric to our house later the next day and made him apologize to me in person as well as give the present back it didn't really make me feel that much better though I had been humiliated after that
I never talked to Eric again I saw him around in school the next year or two but luckily we did not end up going to the same high school this happened 20 years ago my name is Liz and when I was turning 14 years old I had a birthday party with some friends it was not a huge party it was just me and my four closest friends from school the five of us went to my house after school on Friday and we were going to have a sleepover we got pizza and just hung out and
had a good time we stayed up late in my room playing games and stuff finally when it was pretty late we got tired and were going to go to sleep we were all sleeping sleeping in my bedroom because it was pretty large and nice I was in my bed and all my friends had sleeping bags and had plenty of space so I remembered that it was probably like 1:00 in the morning I'm not sure if any of us were asleep yet I know that I wasn't however I was laying in bed with my eyes closed
trying to fall asleep the next thing I knew I heard a knock at my bedroom window from the outside there was no mistaking it and there were several somewhat loud knocks at the window I sat up in bed and looked to the window there were Shades mostly covering it so I couldn't really see anything I whispered to the room asking if anybody else had heard that several of my friends spoke up saying that they had the knocking was not going on anymore so I decided to get up and look out of the window I walked
over to it and then lifted up the shades when I did I saw this man standing there I instantly backed away from the window and told everybody that I saw a guy a few of them had also briefly seen him we all then ran out of the room we headed towards the living room and everybody else in the house was asleep by then I remember that we looked out the living room window outside but didn't see the guy anymore we talked amongst ourselves and then went around checking several different Windows after not seeing or hearing
anything unusual or strange we decided to go back into my bedroom we figured whoever it was had left and would not be back and were then going to attempt to go to sleep again but before doing so I checked out of my bedroom window one last time when I did I saw the man coming out from behind a tree in the front yard he instantly began walking in my direction I moved away from the window and we all left the room again this time we called the police we waited away from Windows towards the center
of the house for them to come I also woke everybody else up when the police got there the man was gone and nowhere in sight luckily after that he didn't return this remains one of the scariest moments of my life this is something that happened back in college I'm a female and I went to one of my best friends from College's house for her birthday she lived in a pretty standard College house with a few roommates I was friends with all of them and I lived in an apartment close by so for her birthday she
invited several friends over we went to her house in the early evening and hung out for a while it sort of turned into a party by nighttime with a lot of other people there a bunch of us went out to some nearby bars in the area sometime around 9 or 10:00 we walked because they weren't that far away and the weather was pretty good so after going to 2 or three places and being out for several hours I remembered that we decided to head back some some people were staying out for longer and others had
already left so when we walked back it was just my friend and I we were going down the sidewalk and my friend said that she thought the guy behind us was following I looked back and saw a man who I did not recognize he seemed to be around our age maybe a little older was tall and thin he was walking back about 40 ft from us so he was not that close my friend said that she saw him staring at her in the bar a few times I really hadn't noticed but I took her word
for it we continued to walk back and hoped that the man would turn off someplace but the farther we walked the man was still there it got more concerning when we turned a few times and the man turned as well these streets were much quieter so it felt a lot more suspicious now when we were approaching the street that my friend lived on we decided to try and lose the guy we took a right instead of going straight then we quickly went down and Alleyway for a moment it seemed really sketchy but we were able
to cut between two houses and go to the next street over this did not allow the man to see exactly where we were going we walked down that street and then went over another block we walked a little ways further before heading back to where we originally were for the rest of the walk back we did not see the guy we were able to safely make it back to my friend's house when we arrived there were quite a few people at her place and it was B basically a party most of the people were just
friends though and there really weren't any random people there I would say there was about 20 people most of them in the living room and dining room area we hung out with some people downstairs for a while however I remember looking over into the living room at one point and seeing the same guy who had been following us he was just standing in the corner kind of near the door he was looking at his phone mostly and was not really talking to anyone I showed my friend and we were both very creeped out I remember
that I asked several friends if they knew who he was and nobody did we ended up telling a couple of our guy friends that were there who happened to play on the school football team they said they would get the guy to leave and did exactly that they basically kicked him out of the house and then he was gone he did not come back for the rest of the night I'm not sure exactly how he knew to go to the house because we thought we had lost him from following us the only thing I can
think of is maybe he waited behind a tree or bush or something or maybe he had already knew where my friend lived it's pretty creepy to think about I'm not aware of her ever seeing the guy again though
