[Music] [Music] when I was about 14 or 15 years old I went to a friend's party at their house it was in the UK that year was really great for me I didn't have any big worries no work to do in the mornings and my mom cooked dinner for me I had nice clean bed sheets that I didn't have to clean or change then life really got tough but there's this one thing that really got to me once I went to that party I talked about earlier at my friend place she invited about 50 people
most of them like 90% were from our school but around 10% weren't but there were some older guys there at first it felt weird because I didn't know them you know being 14 and a girl I was cautious some of those guys seemed older than 16 maybe even 18 I mostly hung out with my school friends the ones I knew and trusted my main friend who threw the party was super busy talking to everyone and getting things sorted anyway the evening was great good food good drinks and awesome music but then came the tricky part
I had to figure out how to get home because my mom didn't even know I was there and obviously I couldn't drive at 14 you might be wondering how my mom didn't know I was at the party well she was on vacation and I was home alone well except for my older brother he just stayed glued to his computer all day so he didn't care if I was there or not and it would probably take him 2 months to even realize I was gone so I was at the party but I needed to get home
one of my friend's moms had given me a ride here then I thought it was only about 10 minutes away so I'd just walk back once the party ended my friend decided to end the party around 1 a.m. because her mom started getting upset even though her mom didn't really care about what anyone was doing she said she needed to sleep because she had work the next day so after all that I left I didn't ask for a ride from anyone because I didn't want to bother them and hardly anyone there drove anyway there were
only two guys who drove so they must have been at least 17 which made me think they were definitely itely older than us I started walking home it was dark and some street lights were out as I walked I noticed car lights behind me the car wasn't going at a normal speed like the others that had passed me it was going really slow finally the car stops completely and the guy rolls down the window I recognized him from the party he told me if I need a ride but man I get get the creepiest feeling
from him I decide to say no and keep walking but he's persistent he drives alongside me at my walking speed with the window still down he kept saying things like you shouldn't be out here at this time of night it's too late come on it's getting cold let me give you a ride back the more he insisted the more suspicious he seemed to me it rais more and more red flags and I was just about ready to run he suddenly stops the car this totally caught me off guard because he'd been driving alongside me for
the past 5 minutes urging me to get in the car I turned to face him not sure what to do I knew I couldn't run from him he was much bigger and faster than me and I was wearing shoes with about 3-in heels so I wouldn't stand a chance I realized that if something bad is going to happen the only thing I can do is scream for help so that's what I did I just screamed as loud as I could like I'd gone completely crazy eventually almost everyone on the street had heard me and several
neighbors opened their windows and the guy just stood there his car still running I think he noticed that everyone was watching he looked up at all the windows with people and lights on two of them had their windows open and were just looking out they didn't say anything I think they were just curious once he saw them he turned around got back in his car and then quickly drove away some of my friends say he's a nice guy but he didn't go to our school he actually went to college but I didn't know him and
I didn't want to get in his car no matter what [Music] in 2012 during the winter I found myself staying late at the library the sun had already set leaving the surroundings dark it was evening and the usual Buzz of my friends studying alongside me was absent I couldn't recall the reason why they did not came as I gathered my belongings the library announced it was closing in 5 minutes I was totally focused on studying because I had a test in just 3 days I gathered my books and packed them into my backpack then I
slung it over my shoulder and headed towards the library exit it was so quiet that it felt like the silence was loud libraries are always quiet but it felt like I was the only one there besides the lady who worked there when I stepped outside I felt how freezing it was the temperature dropped a lot and when I looked around there wasn't anyone else on the campus at all I walked all the way back to where I lived but before I reached home something really scary happened about halfway there I had to cross a big
Road the campus is divided into two parts which is kind of weird I don't know why they designed it like that but there's a highway running through the campus Crossing it during the day was no big deal but at night it was definitely more challenging to get across there's this big flight of steps that goes over the highway some people call it a flyover it's like a bridge where you walk on top to cross cross over it's pretty cool and when I visited Europe and the UK I saw a lot more of them there they're
quite common in those places but not so much where I live or at least not in the state I'm from I reached the steps and started climbing making sure to watch my step it was only the beginning of winter right after fall so there wasn't much snow yet but it was really cold with Frosty temperatures I was bundled up in warm clothes wearing a beanie hat and a scarf but I was still freezing the worst part was my nose it felt so numb and tingly I climbed up the first set of steps and now I
had to walk across the highway on the platform so that's what I did as I reached halfway across I noticed a few cars passing by the traffic had quieted down by then I guess because Rush Hour was over most folks had already made it home from work maybe around 700 there were a few cars passing by but nothing unusual that is until I reached the end of the platform I was about to go down the second set of steps to get back on the other side of the highway I saw something really weird the speed
limit on the highway was like 80 maybe even faster I'm not a driver so don't quote me on that but all the cars were going fast then there was this one van it looked like the kind of van you'd imagine some creepy person driving trying to snatch people up I couldn't believe it they weren't driving at the speed limit or even close to it they were going really slow like a snail's pace I thought maybe they were lost but how do you get lost on a highway I was getting closer to them because they were
going so slow it seemed like their van might stop right where the stairs met the ground as I went down the stairs I was really nervous trying to be quiet and still avoiding the eyes but now I was even more scared and unsure about what was happening with the people in that van I was about halfway down the stairs when I noticed the van had stopped right at the bottom step getting close I could see two men sitting inside completely concealing their faces in the darkness I could see their mouths until they were guys by
their jawlines I slowed down pretending to be cautious of the ice while I thought about what to do next something felt off so I didn't want to go all the way down the stairs if their van had broken down they'd get out and put their hazard lights on but they weren't doing any of that they just sat there as I got closer they were watching me following my every move that was it I turned around and started running back up the steps toward my campus but somehow I slipped on the ice and tumbled down landing
hard on my forearms I used them to catch myself and it hurt a lot the concrete steps felt like they broke my bones I got up but my arms felt really sore like they were shattered but I didn't care about that right then I started sprinting back across the platform I thought I heard the van door open and close and it made me run even faster I was breathing hard panicking more with each step when I reached the other staircase to go back down I didn't even think about the ice I just kept running skipping
steps and almost fell again but I made it down to the first step without slipping I didn't dare to look back as I was too scared of them in my head I felt like they were right behind me like they were chasing me I made it back to the University campus and dashed into the library luckily the worker hadn't closed the entrance doors or locked up yet so I ran up the library stairs and stay into a room I found an employee and told them everything that had just happened to me the security team arrived
within 2 minutes followed by the police and then the Medics it turned out I had fractured both bones in each of my arms the police checked the CCTV footage from the highway and confirmed that the men did stop by the road they even caught me slipping and falling on camera some of the street lights had cameras attached to them this meant they could track the men's movements but they had invalid license plates so they couldn't be traced after that their identity stayed unknown and now I never walk home at night especially when it's [Music] dark
I take the metro to work and back home every night it takes about 30 minutes to get to work on the bus but the metro station is only a 5-minute walk from my apartment one night my boyfriend was at my apartment hanging out with me before I had to go to work we were talking so much that we didn't realize how late it was and when I look at the time I realized I had to hurry to catch the bus it was one of those snowy nights when everything gets covered in white if I waited
for my boy boyfriend to warm up the car and clear off the snow I would have been even later so I decided to walk to the Metro Station instead I gave him a goodbye then he went to his car and I start walking most of the place I walk through has good lights but there's one corner that's very dark at night it's across from the metro station even though I live in a tough neighborhood nothing bad has happened to me before so I felt okay walking alone at night I was just thinking about getting to
the station when I got near the dark corner across from where I was going someone suddenly grabbed my arm I didn't see him coming at all the guy who looked like he was in his 40s tried to grab my other arm too but I quickly elbowed him in the stomach it was just luck that I reacted quickly and the man let go of me for a moment I used that chance to run as fast as I could away from him when I reached the metro station I glanced back and saw him still following me once
inside I dashed through the station and left from a different door on the other side of the building I kept running until I reached my apartment safely thankfully my boyfriend was still in the parking lot waiting for his car to warm up I got into his car and told him what had happened we we called the police and I gave them a description of the man as best as I could that night my boyfriend drove me to work but I usually take the metro when I work nights I never got any news from the police
so I guess they didn't find the man since then I started carrying pepper spray whenever I walked to the station I keep it in my hand until I finish walking [Music] I work as a security officer for a company in Southern California we team up with the sheriff's department to keep the areas We Serve Safe my role as a patrol officer is quite similar to that of a police officer unlike typical security guards who simply Observe and Report were trained to respond to a variety of situations from dealing with trespassers and burglaries to handling domestic
disputes I've chased after people on foot and in vehicles a few times it's just how we do things now that you understand our job let me share with you an experience I will never forget usually I worked the late shift but because of low Manpower I had to switch to the day shift I remember driving around the city in my patrol car listening to our radio for calls then one came in for my district a burglary alarm on the north side of the city out in the desert it must have been around 1:00 in the
morning when I was sent to check it out as soon as I turned onto the street for the property I went dark which means I turned off all the lights the building used to be where they packed onions with big hangers on the west side but now it's empty and we're hired to keep an eye on it I've gone inside many times during my nightly checks but nothing unusual ever occurred until this particular night and also keep in mind there are no working lights on the property so everything inside was dark anyway I drove to
the west side of the property checking the outside carefully that's when I noticed a door that was slightly open I radioed in this is Lincoln 1 I found a door open on the west side of the hangers can you send another unit to my location I'm standing next to my car having a smoke in the rare drizzle that Southern California gets I actually enjoy the rain the wind's pretty strong tonight too if I recall correctly after about 5 minutes my buddy and partner shows up he's actually a really close friend of mine outside of work
we grab our flashlights and head inside the first thing that hits you when you walk in is the strong smell of onions I mean it's so strong that you can practically taste it in your nose the hangers we're checking are big dark and empty with that stinky smell everywhere and this is where things start to get disturbing we can hear the light rain tapping on the metal roof the winds finding its way through any openings it can then it happens we hear footsteps on the roof of the hangers I glance at my partner and say
these hangers don't have a way up to the roof then how did they get there he shrugs and says dude I also have no idea Lincoln want to control just to let you know we're hearing footsteps on the roof we're on the scene investigating we'll update you soon dispatch confirms and we start searching through the building checking every corner then we step outside and check around the building just as I suspected no way up to the roof why would anyone be up there in this weather anyway we blame it on the Wind we check everything
we can and call it Code 4 meaning all good as we're walking back through the hangers we just checked which is the only way out to get back to our vehicles something really creepy happens now I've never believed in ghost or anything like that and I always thought those ghost shows on TV were Silly they always talk about hearing whispers on those shows but never understanding what's being said well believe it or not my partner and I heard Whispering like multiple voices all at once it was crystal clear but I couldn't make out a single
word my partner and I sto dead in our tracks and just look at each other for Frozen in place I call in a code 6 again and we start searching the property once more we knew what we heard wasn't normal but we had to check if someone was possibly still inside that we missed that's when everything goes crazy doors start slamming shut all over the place my partner and I just look at each other without saying a word we walk outside I can't say we were scared but we were definitely surprised I report a secondary
Code 4 I'm outside with my partner and I glance at him let's just say it was the wind I say that was the last time I ever went to that place before I got promoted to Corporal and switched to day shifts I still don't believe in most ghost stories but I can tell you for sure it wasn't just the wind that night [Music] when I was 12 years old I lived in a small town in Washington I think it was summertime and I was excited to spend time with my best friend Rose I told my
grandma if I could stay over at Rose's house and she nodded yes when I arrived at Rose's place one of our classmates a boy whose name I can't quite Recall now also came to her house he had this new game he was excited for us to try out he lived two houses down from her we arrived at his house around 6:30 but honestly the game he brought wasn't very fun so I ended up just staring out of his bedroom window it was really dark outside and all I could see were our Reflections in the window
and the glow from the TV I was sitting right next to the window and if I leaned a bit I could see up into the tree branches so I glanced up and saw two red eyes looking back at me I got really scared and tried to see what was there but it was too dark to make out anything else all I could see were those red eyes I felt my throat tighten and I started shaking I turned to my friends by the TV and whispered guys look up at the tree can you see what I
see Rose looked at me then at the tree and she froze looking really scared our other friend looked too but then he ran out of the room we both chased after him because we definitely didn't want to stay alone he found his dad sitting in the living room watching TV at first his dad didn't believe us but eventually he got up and looked outside he saw the eyes too just staring at us like they could see right into our hearts our friend's dad grabbed his baseball bat and told us to stay inside he hurried out
the back door and closed it tight behind him but soon after we heard our friend's dad yelling at whatever was in the backyard and then he rushed back inside almost breaking the door in his haste and gathered us all into the master bedroom which was the only door that lock besides the main and back doors and soon enough the police arrived but when we told them what happened they didn't believe us they just said we were imagining things but we knew deep down that it wasn't just our imagination how could four of us including an
adult all see the same thing
