[Music] my girlfriend of seven years and I rented a beach house Airbnb in the Hamptons on Long Island in 2018 my girlfriend's name is Alicia the house was very secluded and it literally sat right on the beach like back door led to the dunes it was also more or less a completely private beach during the day except for the occasional locals going for walks or jogs along the dunes we were there for three days and two nights during the daytime for the most part we lay in the sand with drinks or we jump in the
pool in the backyard of the house the first night we went to some local bars to drink a little bit and went back to the house to relax and watch a movie the second day there like I said we basically did the same thing as the first day only this time we hopped in the pool first before going to lay on the beach to dry off the house was absolutely gorgeous a fantasy home for Alicia and I would surrounding the house pool in the backyard and Beach ten steps from the back door it all seemed
like it was going to be a fantastic weekend getaway we stayed on the beach for many hours until around maybe like four or five right as we started packing up and I stood up I looked at the house at one of the windows specifically and I thought for sure I could see someone standing at the window looking down at me the Sun was kind of creating a glare on the window at its current position so I couldn't tell 100% if my eyes were playing tricks on me I grabbed Alicia shoulder and pointed up at the
window do you see that I asked when she said see what I could see that whatever I thought I saw it didn't seem to be there anymore I told her to keep packing up while I ran back to the house and up the stairs to the bedroom window where I thought I saw someone or something the room was empty though as was the closet under the bed and the rest of the upstairs rooms the only noise was the sound of the window air conditioners in various rooms and then the door opening downstairs it was Alicia
arriving with the stuff so I chucked it up as seeing things after lying in the Sun for hours that night we hit a couple of the same bars again we stayed out later this night because it would be our last night there I think we got back around 11:00 upon entering the living room we tried to flick the lights on but they wouldn't then we noticed all the digital clocks from the cable boxes were off too so the power was out and looked around for a circuit box but couldn't find one it was way too
late to call the homeowner all that would happen is we miss out on watching a movie that night we were tired anyway so we just went upstairs using our phones to provide us enough light to prevent us from falling on our faces up the stairs we went to bed and the alcohol and Alicia's system helped her knock out pretty quickly but then I sat up when I felt like I heard something from outside of the room I looked at the doorway someone walked past the doorway in the hall I covered my mouth with my hands
to prevent my squeal of horror for being heard I lifted myself over Alicia to get off the bed and run to lock the door the second I locked it there were knocks on the other side someone said it's the landlord I came to fix the power I didn't believe it for a second the knocks turned to more aggressive bangs the door started to shake as the man on the other side started twisting and shaking the doorknob my girlfriend woke up and started to scream she realized what was going on I screamed call the cops to
her and I think this caused the man on the other side to stop the next thing that happened after waiting in silence and fear with the sound of the police officers downstairs they had entered the house through the front door that was apparently left open the police investigated took a report and said they'd let the local media know of the incident they even helped us find the circuit box and restore power the next day we left first thing in the morning and on the ride home I called the landlord who said he hadn't even been
near the Hamptons for a few weeks the story I'm gonna be telling you took place around four years ago as of today I haven't told many people about this story because it's something I try to forget here's my story it was a Monday evening fourth of July I just finished sophomore year in high school I was invited to a few 4th of July parties my parents grounded me a few days prior so I couldn't go to any of them however I live in a neighborhood that's very connected so my neighbors had a party outside in
the cold isaque my parents forced me to come outside for it I'm not extremely awkward or anything but I hate talking to older adults because I never know what to talk about luckily I had a friend named Eli who lived in the same area so I called him up and we hung out at the party after a few minutes at the party we got extremely bored it just wasn't fun for us because there was no one our age in the area we talked a little bit then the Eli asked doesn't savanna live like down the
street we should go door ditcher I agreed to Eli suggestion and we were on our way down the street to clarify savannah is that extremely popular girl that every guy has a crush on in high school it was awkward enough that we were neighbors but her dad was also my dentist we made our way down the street the Sun began setting quickly Eli and I made jokes about dumb things we found funny at the time being honest we were both pretty nerdy our sophomore year I eventually asked Eli if he knew where the house was
located because I had never been to Savannah's house before after scanning the whole area of houses Eli began pointing to my West he was pointing at a big house that was pretty complex we lived in a mediocre area in Michigan houses like this one were rare here anyway we sneakily approached the house it was only to our surprise that no one was home no cars in the driveway the lights were off nothing we both began observing the house we agreed that she probably went on a trip with her family I suggested that we come back
next week and do the door ditch Eli didn't listen though he kept staring at the house he approached the front door Eli let's go I yelled he told me to be quiet as he opened the front door his face lit up they left the door unlocked Eli suggested that we explore the house and that it would be quick being the curious teens we were we entered the house his dark and extremely cold we both split up exploring the enormous house I went into every room of the house and began to feel extremely guilty because that
was considered breaking into someone's house also we were invading the family's privacy after a few minutes of contemplation Eli began screaming I walked over to the screams and found Eli he was leaving what I believe was Savannah's room why are you screaming I asked he began walking me to the nearest bathroom he locked the door and started whispering there was someone watching me in the closet I tried reassuring him the person was probably a family member who thought we were breaking into the place he immediately responded why would he be hiding in a girl's room
then from what I saw the rooms walls were entirely white the bed covers were white and it just overall gave off a girl's room vibe I became suspicious myself that was when we began to hear footsteps approach the bathroom door we tried listening but the walking seemed to stop I totally you like to be quiet someone started mumbling something outside the door shortly after there was knocking on the door it started out soft as it continued it got louder and louder it sounded as if someone was trying to break down the door it started becoming
a scene out of a horror movie when the person started screaming was a man scream he turned around and panic Lee tried to open the window behind us it was bolted down I thought we were dead there was a wrench right next to the toilet and I used it to destroy the window we jumped out of it and fell onto the bushes below I still managed to break my ankle but we ran out of there fast wealth Eli and I were so confused as to who that person was and what their intentions were a few
days passed and the family came back I couldn't take the guilt anymore I turned myself in to the cops and admitted to breaking in the cops asked me a few questions later they sat me down with my dentist or the homeowner I began the conversation with yes I'm guilty but the guy hiding in your daughter's closet nearly tried killing me my dentist showed mercy and didn't press charges however he just started to become anxious as he told me we never invited anyone to stay at her house I used to work at the small sleepaway camp
as a counselor it was my first job when I was 17 it was the most fun I could have at any job that age plus it would get me away from my parents house for a month I didn't exactly come from an n viewable background so at this camp there were five buildings the boys dorms the girls dorms the counselors dorms the main hall which we called the shack at a small bathroom building in the shack was the cafeteria main office and nurses quarters where any kids who suffered any kind of injuries would be brought
kids curfews would be 9 o'clock curfews only meaning they weren't allowed out at the dorm buildings past that time I made good friends with this guy named Johnny he was 3 years older than me but we got along it was a Friday night I remember because I knew it was the start of the weekend so for fun Johnny and I went to hang out with these two girl counselors who I'll leave their names out for privacy since I haven't seen them in many years the four of us went out to the woods to smoke one
of the girls were mid-sentence when all we heard was a crunch of leaves in the vicinity surely a footstep all of our heads turned the same way and at the same time we all heard it then a few seconds later there was a blinding flash we didn't understand it first unnerved all of us cut the smoke sesh short and exited the woods at an extremely quick pace being back on the campgrounds felt a lot safer immediately but we became paranoid that we were being watched by one of the camp supervisors and that the flash was
a picture being taken we would surely get fired if we were caught smoking weed so when a paranoid panic we all rushed to our respective dorm buildings the thing about me when I smoke weed though I get extremely paranoid and overthink everything so as I sit in my bed it ate away at me wondering if it was indeed a camera flash and who took that picture I couldn't take it anymore I had to go to the shack and see if any of the supervisors were still working and come clean every councilor had a key to
the building so I unlocked the door that led to the cafeteria section and the door slammed behind me at going into the dark empty building the only light was coming from that hallway which I would take to get to the main office hoping there would be someone still working you may think I was crazy to be doing this but I'm not exaggerating when I say I get paranoid and I really couldn't afford to lose this job over something that wasn't even my idea however I would feel out whichever supervisor was on duty and see if
they had actually seen what we were doing as I walked down the hall towards the office though I realized quickly that the office light was off no one was in the building just then I heard the familiar sound of the cafeteria exit door that I had just went through slamming again was I seen entering the building was I being followed I hid behind the intersecting hallway wall peeking my head around waiting to see who would be walking into the hallway no one ever did though but it took me longer than it should have to notice
something peering around the doorway to the cafeteria it was a person's head they were doing exactly what I was doing peering in my direction when I realized this I didn't care about being quiet anymore I ran as fast as I could to the nearest exit feet stomping on the wood flooring I ran to the counselor dorm where only three counselors were still chilling in the common area one of them being Johnny I told him and only him about what I just witnessed I didn't know what to think other than I was being followed I think
Johnny could tell I was being a little extra paranoid because I was high so he told me to just go to my room and lock the door he made sure to lock the mean entrance to the building because I think I scared him too that night I lay awake for a while thinking nervous so many unanswered questions from one night the beds in every counselors room they right next to a window without blinds so moonlight would pour in on clear nights but not on this cloudy night it was just pure darkness until however many hours
after laying down flesh filled my room lightning no there was no thunder not even rain I looked at the window and all I saw was some one silhouette out there when they noticed me noticed them I saw their hand making a waving motion at me that was the last draw I left my room screaming for Johnny he had already gone to bed at this point so I banged on his door till he opened up I told him the man who was following me was at my window so he went to check with me but figures
he was gone Johnny asked me if I was still high I told him not at all it had been hours I asked if we should call the cops or something he said no he told me to sleep on the floor in his room with my blankets if it made me feel better Loki I think he wanted me to cuz he was scared just like I was I didn't understand why on the surface he was pretending to not take this seriously given that he saw the first flesh in the woods with me I did sleep in
his room though I didn't want to sleep alone I was too terrified the next day I went to the main office to talk with one of the supervisors she didn't really know what to do she didn't call the police but she gave me permission to call them if something else happened for the safety of the children but nothing happened again not until the last day on the job for counselors this was when the kids had already went home and it was the day we were supposed to pack up and leave I woke up to four
pictures taped on my window one zoomed in on me in the woods that night with Johnny and the two girls a second picture of me sleeping in my bed a third picture of me entering the shack building that night we smoked confirming I was being watched and followed and the fourth picture a zoom in of my license plate number I took the photos and showed them to the same supervisor she kept them for evidence after writing down my whole story including the smoking weed part this was many years ago now and nothing ever happened again
but I was scared to death that the picture of my license plate was some kind of threat that whoever it was would track me I still don't know who took those pictures [Music] [Music]
