I've been working at one of the largest cheese manufacturers for five years now this cheese plant stays running 24 7 365 days a year and I work the night shift for the parts department and it's pretty slow at times we have one separate huge Warehouse about a hundred feet from the Cheese plant and in our warehouse we keep the big items like Motors pumps cylinders Etc we usually keep the warehouse doors unlocked because no one really goes into our warehouse except us Parts guys our warehouse has those LED lights that turn on when it senses
movement when you walk underneath it there's about 35 lights all throughout the warehouse and they're on a timer so they eventually turn off after 10 minutes of non-movement one night when I was working it was really rainy and cold and it was a steady night for the most part it was about 1am and I had to go to our warehouse to get a motor off the rack with a forklift I open the garage door and proceeded to enter the warehouse with the forklift upon entering I noticed in the back corner of the warehouse that the
LED motion light was on the corner was about 50 feet or more from me and none of the other lights were on except the back corner light it was kind of odd but I didn't think anything of it and began to pull the motor off the rack once I threw the motor on the pallet I heard footsteps from that back corner where the LED light was on foreign there I didn't hear any response so I was thinking to myself I was probably just hearing stuff I drove the forklift out of the warehouse with the motor
and took it to the maintenance guys I talked to the maintenance guys for about 30 minutes and took a cigarette break too I finally went back to our warehouse at about 2 am to close the garage door that I had left open I walked up to the garage door and glanced into the back corner of the warehouse and saw that the LED light was now turned off I closed the door and was walking back to the main door to exit the warehouse but then I heard footsteps again and saw the back corner LED light turn
on followed by a row of lights turning on as if someone was walking towards me as the lights were turning on I saw a man dressed in all black emerge from the darkness he had tattoos all over his face and looked me straight in the eyes I humbled a few words out saying who are you he looked at me without saying anything I'm six two so I knew I could take the guy if he tried to rush at me I told him he shouldn't be in here but he still didn't say anything and continued to
give me the Sinister look on his face I called Security on the radio and told them to come to the warehouse as we had an unauthorized person on the property once he heard me call security the man pulled a knife from his pocket and I backed up staring at the knife the man Stood Still and didn't even move before long we heard security outside the warehouse and then the man ran towards the back door well I just stood there security rushed into the warehouse and asked where he went and I told them he went out
the back door they looked around the warehouse just in case but they couldn't find the guy once 6 a.m came around I told my supervisor about what happened and he said he will check the security cameras to see where the guy ran off to all the footage showed was the guy jumping over our barbed wire fence and entering our warehouse since that day my supervisor has made us lock the warehouse doors at all times I just think about what that guy would have done if I hadn't called security I took my dog for regular walks
around my neighborhood every night after dinner there was nothing ever interesting about the walks I basically just went around the block and then back home for context I'm a female in my late 20s and I live in a middle class neighborhood the town is considered very safe though with a low crime rate and I've never felt that I was in danger for the whole 15 years I've lived here except for this one night it was just past seven and I got home and ate a quick frozen dinner then I got my dog ready for the
walk it was winter so the sun set early and it was dark though the town does well at keeping the streets and sidewalks mostly lit up with street lights as I walked I turned the corner that connects to a path that goes directly alongside a park this was my usual walk as it makes a nice Circle back to my house and takes a perfect 15 minutes it was a quiet night which wasn't uncommon during winter here I stood on the snowy sidewalk watching my dog sniff around a tree then I started looking around the park
when I noticed a car parked on the side of the road up ahead right next to the sidewalk I was on all of its headlights were off but the light inside the car was on and I could see someone moving around in the front seat I tried not to make it obvious that I was looking at them just in case they saw me but I was really curious about what they were doing the location they were parked at was not really near any houses and it was a bit late and cold so I wasn't sure
what they were doing I wasn't worried or anything I was just unsure I tug my dog's leash and started walking along the path again getting closer I saw that it was a man and he seemed to be looking for something in his car searching frantically through his glove box I was still half looking and half looking away trying not to be noticed when the man suddenly looked up and made eye contact with me my first reaction was to look away but then I looked back I was only 10 or 15 feet from his car at
this point and the man held his hand up in a friendly gesture and rolled his window down excuse me would you mind helping me out with something he yelled through his window the man looked around my age and just like any other guy I asked him what he needed and he basically just said something was wrong with his car and it wouldn't move but he was using a lot of car words that I didn't even understand regardless though I was of no use to him I'm sorry I can't really help with that I responded pulling
my dog and starting to walk again taking several more steps down the path I heard the faint sound of the window rolling back up followed by the car turning on and a few seconds later driving away I turned around watching the man drive his small car down the road as if nothing was wrong at all seeing that made my stomach drop and after a few seconds I turned back around and started walking a bit faster I was still 10 minutes from the house and my mind was racing thinking about that guy and how disturbing it
was to see him drive off like that after he was asking for my help telling me his car didn't work I continued another five minutes down the path until I got to the end portion where it goes behind a few houses before leading to the back of a neighborhood that takes me to my house this part was darker and secluded I walked even quicker to try and get out as soon as I could but at the very end of the path on the dark neighborhood street was that same car from earlier I could only see
the very front of the car but I still recognized it it looked like he was parked in a way so that he was trying not to be seen I turned around pulling my dog with me and beginning to jog in the other direction back the way we came when we got back to the park I turned down the street and took a long route home that kept me nearby other houses thankfully he didn't seem to be able to find me my heart was still racing when I got home and I called the police to let
them know about the guy but that's when I realized I didn't get the license plate what's worse is that a few nights later I saw that man's same car again parked by the path I walked on this time though all of the lights were off I called the police who came and searched it just to find that nobody was inside checking the license plate number they found that it was actually a stolen car knowing this I got a really sick feeling thinking about my encounter with the man feeling so safe for all my life living
in a place like that and yet I came dangerously close to having something terrible happen to me I often find myself thinking about what the man was frantically looking for in his glove box I don't know for sure what that man wanted but I don't ever want to know oh this happened last year I was at home taking a shower before bed it was later than I usually stayed up but I had a lot of work to get done and I didn't have work the next day I stood in the shower winding down after the
long day when I heard something click it was faint but it sounded like it was from inside the house I thought it was some sound the house made no big deal at all and continued showering until I heard it again right outside the bathroom door I rinsed real quick then turned the shower off I got out and got dressed trying to think of what that noise could possibly be opening the door I immediately noticed the hallway light was off which I knew I had left on at first I thought it was just the power cutting
out until I looked at the light switch on the other side of the wall it was switched off I quickly looked down both ends of the hallway a little shaken then flicked the lights back on they worked just as normal I walked down the hallway towards the stairs seeing that it was completely dark downstairs as well One manual light switch turning off on its own is weird enough but two that told me this wasn't a coincidence there was something going on I stood at the top of the steps for a minute trying to think of
what to do next I really didn't know what was going on but someone breaking into my house just to turn off my lights seemed like a really risky sick joke for some random person to pull on me the longer I just stood there though the more anxious and creeped out I became I began walking down quietly and when I got to the middle steps the Extremely Loud sound of my back door slamming shut echoed through the Silent House I jumped then froze in a panic I was too scared to move and my heart was beating
rapidly after a minute of no more sounds I went down and turned on the lights on the tile floors were clear boot prints probably from the mud and dirt surrounding my house then I looked down the hall toward the back door seeing it was shut but even from where I was standing I could tell it wasn't locked I ran down and locked it then checked the front door which was already locked I knew I kept both the back door and front door locked at all times especially the back door because I never used it strangely
though all the windows were still locked and intact so whoever it was must have found a way to unlock the back door I called the police as soon as I could but to put it simply they were pretty much useless checking around the place nothing was missing at least nothing important that I would have noticed right away maybe it was just some sick joke but they didn't even stay around to get a good laugh at my reaction so what was the point over the next few months I was on high alert every sound the house
made gave me chills and I was paranoid about locking my doors checking them four or five times a night so far still living in the same house nothing else has happened though just two months ago I woke up and noticed that the back door was unlocked again however by then I wasn't checking the locks every night so I figured I must have forgotten to lock it I don't know though part of me thinks it was that Intruder again there's also a part in my mind that thinks it may be something paranormal but I'm still not
sure but whatever it was they were trying to do still creeps me out and I plan on moving away very soon [Music] thank you [Music]
