when my boyfriend and I were both still in college we rented out an Airbnb in Las Vegas during the summer it was a modest two bedroom one-b house right by the Vegas Strip making everything in walking distance this one summer just wanting to get away from life and away from it all we booked the Airbnb wanting to have a nice time the owner was nice but was very strict on having people over we assured him we didn't know know anyone in Vegas and would honor his wishes our third night there we had just gotten back from the casino after gambling some of our spending money we've never been to Vegas so it was okay to gamble at least once a few hours after we got back to the Airbnb I was feeling a little ill so we decided to sleep in separate bedrooms to avoid the spread however the bed frame in the other bedroom was broken so we agreed that I would sleep on the bed while my Bo boyfriend slept on the floor with a simple blanket I felt bad in the moment but he didn't mind it though and we fell asleep shortly after a few hours go by when I was suddenly awoke to my boyfriend nudging me he was standing over the bed trying to wake me up I take a look at my phone and ask him in an annoyed tone what was so important at 4:00 a. m. there was a short pause before he said he was hungry and that we should go down to the gas station for a snack I told him that if he was hungry that he could go himself and to let me sleep this doesn't satisfy him though he didn't want to go alone and insisted I go with him this was weird as I had never seen him act like this before there was something about his tone that was just off-putting at least that was my logic after several attempts of getting me to come with him I finally obliged and put on my sandals we walk outside of the house and start heading towards the street when my boyfriend says babe I'm not actually hungry I woke up in the middle of the night and looked under your bed there's someone sleeping there my heart sank as he said this and I repeatedly asked him questions to make sure he wasn't playing some sick joke by some stupid luck the person didn't see my boyfriend as they were facing the other way we called the police and lo and behold they came out of the Airbnb with a homeless looking man in handcuffs however he didn't try to get away and sort of just let the police arrest him looking back it seemed as if he were wasted or on drugs we still aren't sure how the man managed to sneak in the house as the owner claims he had security cameras and would have definitely seen him this makes us believe that this man had been inside the house for quite some time even before us and that's a very scary thing to [Music] think it was the summer of 2016 and my friends and I were taking a road trip down to Miami for Ultra Ultra is a widely popular music festival around the world that was hosted once a year with many popular celebrities if you're a big music fan you know what I'm talking about anyway my friends that I had gone with decided to get an Airbnb to stay in as that would be the cheaper option than a hotel and was well within our budget I've heard a lot of bizarre and creepy experiences when rening airbnbs but at the time we really didn't think much of it we'd be at the event for the weekend which meant that we'd also be renting the Airbnb for the whole time it wasn't a huge house or anything just the appropriate size for a group of friends this had been a weekend we've all been looking forward to for about a year now so we made the most of it fast forward to the day of the festival we're all partying having a good time when I take notice of a man staring intently at my friend this was common as it's a large event with many people so it was no surprise there were creeps however my friend didn't feel threatened or uncomfortable she she's had several Encounters of people looking at her like this and she sort of Just Let It Go as it was normal to her we all sort of dismiss it as some harmless druggie and continue on with our night the venue was huge with a lot of people I'd say about 5,000 and after a night of drinking and dancing we all had went home it's around 1:00 a.
m. and we're all starting to go to bed so we could get up early the next day however I have always had trouble sleeping throughout my life I've always had an inate fear of the night ever since I was a child and for whatever reason I guess it stuck with me through adulthood I wasn't so much afraid of what lied in the dark but rather the dark itself I always saw it as some silly fear but this night definitely confirmed my fears at this point it's about 2:00 a. m.
and everyone was asleep but me after constantly rolling around in bed I finally got some sh ey when I awoke to my friend shaking me in my groggy State I ask her what she wanted when she says do you not hear that someone's walking around outside now my bed is right beside the back door and after rubbing my eyes I finally heard it someone was definitely out there and it sure as hell wasn't any of us at first I would have assumed it was the owner of the home just checking on things however why would he be doing that in the middle of the night without us knowing I get up from my bed and peek outside the window only to see no one there I knew my mind definitely wasn't playing tricks on me as I know what I heard as I get out of bed to go see who it was I then hear the scream of one of my other friends from another room upon rushing into her room I opened the door and was greeted to a man who I could only recognize as the same man from the concert the minute he saw me he basically jumped outside the already open window and ran off into the night our two male friends had gone after him but had given up after they couldn't find him police were involved but there was nothing much they could do other than conducting a police report we had contacted the actual owner of the house who was thankfully very understanding and refunded our stay since we don't live in Miami we had to end our trip short and head back home which was an 8h hour drive this was many years ago and my friend has since gotten therapy because of this she's obviously moved on from it now but she still talks about it with people till this day I still mourn over the fact that my friend could have been killed that night if she hadn't woken up I still have no idea as to how that man from the show managed to find us my only guess was that he simply followed us but kept his distance while doing so I've always wondered about what he might have done had I not gone into the room in time we've never been back to Miami since and we also don't rent airbnbs anymore this world is full of dangerous and evil people who actually want to cause harm to others if you ever plan on rening airbnbs please do so carefully make sure all of the doors and windows are locked at night you never know who might be lurking my brothers my partner my best friend and I all recently took a trip to Kansas City to go to the Orville Peet concert we waited until a sort of last minute to reserve an Airbnb because we weren't all 100% sure who was all going nonetheless we found one just outside of Kansas City in a suburb called Grand View at a pretty reasonable rate the host overall rating was good and we didn't see anything out of the ordinary when reading the first few reviews so we thought we had gotten a fairly good deal we arrived in Grand View a little after 3 p. m. and our Airbnb was the bottom floor of the owner's home as we pulled up to the house we noticed quite a bit of religious signs and statues on the lawn now don't get me wrong I don't have an issue with people believing in whatever they believe in so long as it doesn't infringe upon other people's rights but here we are a group of very visibly queer folks about to attend a gay Country Concert blindly walking into someone's home that we'd be staying in for the next two nights we decided there was nothing to be worried about and after all we technically were in the B belt so we shouldn't be surprised that we're staying in the home of someone who is religious my brother and partner called the host and met her at the door of Our Guest Suite she showed them around while the rest of us got our suitcases unloaded when they came back to meet us they said that she was super nice and again our minds were eased we decided to hang out order food and rest a little before we headed off for the concert that night our comfort did not last long though while we were getting our suitcases unpacked laying around in one of the bedrooms of Our Guest Suite my youngest brother was casually looking through the drawers of the dressers and side taes as anyone would do most of what he found was normal extra bed sheets pens paper tablets nothing really out of the ordinary that is until he came across something that would completely change our outlook on the trip itself inside the drawer was a BB not super weird considering where we were staying but he was flipping through the pages of it a small tinfoil packet fell out now for those of you don't know anything about drugs or what they look like what fell out of that Bible rhymes with smack star seroin that's right not even 30 minutes into our stay my youngest brother found hard drugs in the folds of a Bible at this point we weren't really sure what to do we did not want to tell the host and we most certainly did not want to call the cops we contemplated about taking the packet and throwing it away at some random gas station but ultimately we decided to put it back where we found it and act like none of us had seen it we got our food and started to get ready for the concert while the rest of us got ready my partner who was not going to the concert started reading through the household handbook everything seemed pretty standard except a few lines that read something like we will respect your privacy so long as you respect ours we can be available as you need us to be and if you're interested in speaking about the ministries of God feel free to reach out again I have nothing against people following the religions that they do but that seemed like an awfully out of place thing to put in your house rules handbook for your guest Suite there were a few more books lying around that stuck out a little off base with titles like teaching men to comprehend how women think and how women should think we ignore these things for the most part aside from my partner who is now freaked out about being left alone at the suite while the the rest of us went off to the concert I told him it was just some Bible thumping and that he really didn't have anything to worry about he's a worrywart though so as soon as we left he locked himself in the bedroom and started looking a little more into the books that we had found he came to the realization that the books were associated with the group called International House of Prayer a prominent religious cult founded in Candace City a majority of whose members live in the Grand View suburb where we were staying I could write a whole separate post about the beliefs of those members but essentially they are an Evangelical Christian group that has a functioning 24/7 prayer room that has been going non-stop since 1999 it's all too much to go over here we got back from the concert really late and not to mention a couple of us were still heavily intoxicated from drinking so he didn't mention much about it that night but it was very quick to tell us about it the next morning at this point we thought okay these people are part of some weird Church whatever it's fine that explains some of the weird rules and books we had found we left for the day to go hang out around the city when we got back to rest my friend and partner started doing some more reading on the group that is when they found out that we were actually staying in one of the prominent leaders houses we figured this out by cross referencing the names of our hosts with the names of important members on the International House of Prayer University website after this we started to Snoop a little more in our sweet we found large barrels of dried food a jug of some liquid that we later found out as what they drink while they fast and lots more teaching materials basically it seemed like they were completely prepared for some sort of end times Rapture eventually we did go back and read more thoroughly through some of the reviews and found a few that would have set off some red flags for example one of the reviews stated how the mail owner brought out a gun in front of the people who were staying there yikes not to mention if there was even a hint of a negative review left the host would leave a snarky reply needless to say we spent as much of our time as possible away from that Airbnb as we could for the remainder of our trip and although we were never in any direct danger we did feel very uncomfortable throughout the entire thing I've gotten a lot of questions about the heroin first off I know that it doesn't come back up in our story but ultimately it was the Catalyst to all the other weird stuff that we slowly uncovered and I knew it was heroin because I've seen it before I have family and friends that have used it and it is also one of the first things to come up if you Google drugs and foil packet I do not know if it was left there by a previous guest or if it was the owners either way finding it in a Bible within our first hour of being there was off-putting to say the very least after reading a few posts on here I've decided to add one of the creepier still unexplained events that happened to me and a group of friends within the past 5 years thinking back on it I still get this unnerved bad feeling that sort of lingers anyway here goes a group of friends and myself rented out of place on the week just for a fun-filled drunken weekend we were all in our young to mid 20s and it was supposed to be just just for a big party for the most part that's exactly what it was the Friday night and Saturday morning we pretty much went all out having a blast on the water just doing fun stupid stuff well naturally when Saturday afternoon rolled around we were all so dead from going all out we decided it would just be a night of no drinking maybe a little weed smoking and just have a chill evening and night and that's exactly what it was very relaxed so 9 p.
m rolls around and about eight of us were inside the house and five outside the house it was a two-story house with the Second Story deck slashback porch and it was surrounded by the woods and then down through the woods you would hit the lake I'll mention that we had already experienced some weird vibes from the locals when we first arrived mostly just Backcountry oldtimers that I assumed were leering and irritated because we were a bunch of college age kids looking to have a good time but the town and the lake were so large it's not like anyone knew where we were staying anyways three of my friends were upstairs on the back porch and my other friend and I were downstairs outside just talking a little on this old table near the woods I mean it was otherwise just a really nice night my friend and I were just getting lost in conversation and all of a sudden there was this weird feeling that encompassed us like an unnerving physical experience that came from the woods down behind us it was so strong we both kind of just quieted down and then out of nowhere this loud chanting abruptly came from the woods I have no idea how far away it was because of the way the lake is set up I'm pretty sure the vo is carried up through the forest though it sounded like a cult chanting away and all the voices were male I mean they were loud and perfectly in sync I think we were frozen for all about 20 seconds before I couldn't contain myself anymore and darted towards the house with her falling behind it's hard to describe and I don't know how to explain the feeling that came with that chanting but it was definitely evil like something just so powerfully uninviting I was shaking by the time we got up to the Second Story and ran out onto the balcony with our other three friends one of them being my brother by the time we got up there the chanting was gone and I naturally asked did you guys hear that in the most shaky freaked out voice they all had heard it too not just seconds later the chanting began again so the five of us are out there peering into the forest listening to the chanting that would sometimes sound far away and then sound relatively close all male voices in the weirdest language or I don't even know what it was sounded like some strange extreme church then following the chanting a loud bang like someone hit a huge metal object sounded and then the worst part came a man wailing like an extreme pain wailing all of my hair was up it was the freakiest experience ever my brother and I were staring at one another in a mixture of scared excitement and horror The Wailing stopped and then it was back to the chanting which eventually died out I was so freaked out by it that I wanted to call the cops cuz whoever was screaming had definitely been in a lot of pain and that mixed with the weird chanting just made me immediately think of some terrible sacrifice going on one friend tried to say it had to be some drunk guys just messing around singing and being weird but no way was that coming from some drunk guys they were perfectly in syn then the bang then the whale of pain and then all that weird tension and energy was just gone nope I didn't call the cops and I wish I would have but honestly the for was so large and since the lake housee was up looking down at the woods in the lake it could have been anywhere it definitely wasn't in our close proximity but close enough to hear all of it that perfectly we all went inside and got some of the others but by the time they came out the chanting had stopped someone wanted to go out and explore and find where the sound had been coming from but obviously that was a stupid idea after that I was so ready to go home I can't explain the relief of driving away from there the next morning even now it gives me the worst feeling ever whatever that was it felt so wrong and so evil I will never forget it I can only imagine that it was some kind of weird cold stuff a story on here reminded me of the time some friends and I had stayed in what turned out to be the third most shadiest Hotel in Las Vegas which for Las Vegas is definitely saying something I also managed to inadvertently traumatize the entirety of my company as I recounted what I considered to be just an amusing childhood story the hotel itself was a bit of a nightmare as everything was bolted down and none of the doors locked but I digress the story itself is about my family's runin with Satanist on a trip to Upstate New York though the growing expressions of disbelief and horror on my companions faces assured me that the story was not as I had previously considered funny per se in any case what follows is completely true and everyone present swears by this narrative when I was 5 years of age we took a road trip to Upstate New York to see my grandmother on my father's side as well as to tour around the countryside a little bit there we were in rule up State away from the region in which my grandmother actually lives and we were planning on staying in a bed and breakfast my father had booked ahead of time it had been an unexpectedly long drive due to weather complications and when we found the BNB in question we were all quite tired we went up to the door to check in and a woman missing her two front teeth on both Jaws answered she invited us in but warned us that they didn't have a room for the night they were book solid my father protested that he had made arrangements in advance but she said she knew another hotel that had vacancy just up the way and she would give them a call and she assured him that they would offer the same rates but first she insisted on showing my parents around as her husband was an artist and she wanted to show them his studio and his quote unquote famous artwork we were all invited in but after seeing the first few pieces of naked women missing their front teeth bound or being tortured in various ways my parents opted to leave the kids outside with Grandma apparently most of the rooms were full to the ceiling with similarly forboding images of dead or dying people with the occasional sculpture of menacing animals my parents were a bit creeped out but just figured these people were a little eccentric and they had dodged a bullet by ending up somewhere else we all waited out back while the woman called her friend beside a pit containing what could have been nothing other than an altar covered with pentagrams my mother mentioned that it seemed strange that not only had they not met the husband who was supposedly there somewhere having toured the entire house but there hadn't been a single sign of life or a piece of luggage suggesting that anyone else was actually staying in any of these guest rooms in this supposedly fully booked B&B a side note that's probably not worth mentioning but I found strange when my mother brought it up while telling me the story later was that we stopped by a park to stretch our legs at some point before proceeding to the next place the storm was closing in on us and my parents wanted to be sure we had zero energy upon arrival while in this park my mother claimed that one of us found and brought to her a small necklace with the pendant on it the pendant itself was a pentagram on one side with a Third Reich symbol on the other my mother took it away and put it inside her purse we arrived at the next bed and breakfast to be greeted by a different woman also suspiciously missing her two front teeth upper and lower it was about this time that my grandmother mentioned that she had read a lot of Articles recently about tourus being killed by some Cult of Satanist or some such in this area great she tended to tell a lot of Tall Tales so I think my parents kind of rolled their eyes and dismissed it but they made a point to mention it later the storm was now upon us and we were all exhausted and there was nowhere else to stay that we could find anywhere near there my Dad decided we would make do with whatever they had to offer what they had to offer was a slightly renovated Barn during the bustle of moving our luggage in the woman kept inviting my brother and I into the house saying she had some sweets and wouldn't we like to meet her kites she made it clear however that my parents were not welcome into the house because it was too messy and she would be embarrassed we were then herded away into the barn and told not to talk to the lady once inside my father who is by this time a bit creeped out went about checking the beds and securing the one room Barn unit the windows had no coverings whatsoever and the doors had no locks we placed pillows from the couches in the window frames and my dad grabbed a dresser against one wall to block the door when he went to move the dresser he discovered it was on Wheels which were completely silent he also noticed that the wall behind it moved a little when he shifted the dresser when he scrutinized the wall he found a scene he pushed on the wall and it gave way two invisible doors opening outwards into the night and just outside was a dark colored van which had been backed up to the opening livid my dad went about rearranging all the furniture in the room stacking the heaviest against the outward Swinging Doors and moving the mobile dresser with various loud objects behind it against the main door when he had completed this we all started to settle down this was around 11:00 p. m. the woman brought us freshly baked blueberry muffins now as I mentioned before I don't remember much of this trip but this is one Element I have a vivid recollection of with the inclement weather and the rush to find a place to stay complimented by the lack of restaurants in the area we hadn't had what one might consider a proper meal when you're five dinner is very important the muffins were fresh baked and smelled Heavenly and I wanted one more more than anything else in the world however presuming and probably correctly that they were poisoned or something was seriously wrong about them since this entire thing was beginning to feel like a horror movie my mother absolutely forbid us from even going near them she put them on a high shelf and sent us to bed I was so angry I went to bed hungry and irritable only two things happened that night that I can recall my parents slept very lightly when at all as you can imagine they claimed they kept hearing talking outside my sister woke all of us up with a blood curling scream around 1:00 a.
