[Music] a long time ago I very briefly lived with my good friend Ben on a quiet street in Northville Michigan perhaps notable for being close to Detroit it wasn't the nicest house or block or area for that matter but the price was unbeatable for two broke young men like ourselves Ben and I went way back to when we were like 9 years old and at the time of this story we worked the same job and rooming together with him seemed like a great idea on our first day there we quickly figured out that the creepy
looking house across the street with the overgrown grass and bushes was abandoned as were a lot of the houses around the area in fact something we somehow hadn't noticed before there was even graffiti next to one of the front windows and on the fence our neighbors on one side seemed like creeps and we didn't even want to approach them the neighbor on the other side was an older dude a very interesting hippie-ish kind of guy his name was Marv he had long gray hair with a matching long Gray beard he seemed friendly at first I
guess but also very weird and hard to talk to we spoke with him on our second day there after work he told us the place had been abandoned for as long as he could remember that night with the sun almost set while we were sitting on the front stoop smoking I looked to the house across the street and felt a little tingle in my stomach out of shock I stood up threw my cigarette onto the floor and crushed it Ben looked at me confused and I pointed to the window across the street I was pointing
at a face which I saw staring at me through the lone upstairs window of the house do you see that there's someone at that window Ben looked at the window immediately but I saw the person move their head away before he could see it it's weird I explained to Ben that I didn't even know if it was a male or female old or young the glass was just too foggy all I knew was that I saw the eyes and they were staring at us Ben told me I was legitimately creeping him out he believed me
we ran over to Marv's house to tell him but strangely he didn't answer his door even though we saw him watching TV in his tiny messy living room through the window the fact that the guy wouldn't answer creeped us out even more dude what the [ __ ] is going on with this place Ben left but the situation couldn't stay comical for long Ben owned a katana he brought it to mention and suggested we go across the street with it break into the house from the backyard and see what was going on we were always
adventurous daring troublemakers as kids so this was our natural response to the situation when it got dark we went across the street to the backyard broke off the board holding the back door shut and entered the house we both had heavy duty flashlights with us to light up basically any room we were in the house was Dusty decrepit but surprisingly seemed to remain untouched from the inside no graffiti or signs of vandalism anywhere still the place was disturbingly creepy and we immediately joked that we should get the [ __ ] out of there but we
pressed on the first floor was pathetically small like our own a kitchen a tiny living room and a dining room there was no basement and one closet the first floor was clear we both agreed to check the upstairs we tiptoed over to the stairs and Ben out of nowhere screamed is anybody up there dude why the [ __ ] would you do that I said quietly then we both froze in fear when we heard rapid stomping suddenly appear from above us it was someone heavy and it sounded like they were running over to the stairway
I literally felt like my heart stopped Ben the one with the katana was the first to flee grabbing my arm and tugging me with him we went out the way we entered and ran back to the house where we saw Marv just standing by his window watching us we didn't know what to do he just intently stared at us as we froze to catch our breath in front of the house we went inside decided not to call the police and moved out literally the next day we explained to the landlord that the location was just
too inconvenient for us and we needed to leave ASAP we drove away from that house and never looked back all right so there are a couple of abandoned dorms on my college campus they were shut down like 15 years ago because of actually I don't really know why anyway way they're abandoned it's rumored that they'll be renovated at some point but that'll probably never happen naturally it's also rumored that they're haunted the school has the windows boarded up to prevent students from going in there because I fancy myself an urban explorer who isn't afraid of
getting into any trouble I decided about a week ago that I was going to break in and take a look around cut to last night I didn't really have a plan per se other than wear black and avoid getting caught Security on campus has been tightened recently but I didn't have any issues getting in unseen I'll spare you the details but basically you'd be surprised what you could do with a crowbar and some vandalism I ended up crawling in through a first floor window I found myself in an empty dorm room illuminated only by my
phone's flashlight now one of the rumors is that the basement is haunted so that's where I decided to go first at the time I thought I was some ballsy Explorer but I can't even express how thoroughly scared shitless I was this building was dark old and smelled weird and I thought that at any moment something would come around the corner and tear me apart it didn't help that my phone battery was being sucked dry by the flashlight app so I was forced to use it very conservatively forite is not my forte anyway the basement there
wasn't any alleged faceless man ghost or at least not that I saw but this is where [ __ ] starts to get weird let me just set the scene I've very carefully descend the stairs I open the door at the bottom and step into well a room a completely normal room although a little colder and with a stickier floor than I would have preferred but otherwise completely normal I swept my flashlight across the opposite wall and there was another door probably just a laundry room I thought I'll go in there and take a look around
and then get out of here before I piss myself and then I could brag to my friends that I explored the basement of one of the abandoned dorms but it wasn't the laundry room I opened the door to a sea of red on the floor there was a drain in the middle of the room but it seemed to be clogged with various organic materials shiny red organic materials I caught a glimpse of a black Pentagon like thing on the ceiling and then I [ __ ] ran up the stairs down the hall and out of
the window I busted earlier I didn't stop running until I got back to my dorm I laid in bed Wide Awake absolutely terrified I managed to fall asleep sometime after my roommate left for class I got up around 11:00 I found a piece of paper that had been slipped under the door did you like what you saw it was written in bright red ink it's got to be someone just [ __ ] with me but damn they're good at it because this legitimately creeped me out [Music] I'm 16 years old and currently live next to
a vacant house barely even a vacant house more like abandoned I never knew why the town never made an effort to fix it up and sell it that never really bothered me though not until after recent disturbing event my bedroom faces the neighboring house in question and sometimes on hot nights when I had the window open I would feel like I could hear voices or moaning type noises coming from the neighboring house sometimes I even wondered if those sounds were teens sneaking into the house and having sex but one night that changed it was a
Thursday night in July I was on my bed playing video games home alone when I muted the TV thinking I heard something from outside I went to my window and literally gasped when I heard a brief scream coming from inside the abandoned house it wasn't drawn out at all it only lasted about maybe a second and I could just barely hear it my adrenaline was rushing now I wanted to get closer immediately I shut off the lights and TV took my airsoft gun as a mock weapon and hopped the backyard fence over to the abandoned
House's backyard I knew the back door was left unlocked since I had been in there before with friends I simply opened the backs sliding door quietly and crept inside just a bit to listen for any more sounds there was a weird steady creaking type noise it was very low but it was evident it was also as dark as it could get in there I flicked on the light attachment on my airsoft gun and aimed it in front of me actually feeling pretty cool for a moment I now stepped fully into the house and the sound
grew louder I scanned the living room completely empty as were the other rooms on this floor I crept over to the basement door which was open the sound was coming from down there I felt my heart begin to race and my gut instinct was telling me to turn around and leave now but I guess my team boy adrenaline and curiosity got the better of me I took one step at a time down the stairway as the creaking sound got louder and when the opening to the basement finally became visible I aimed the gun light around
the room I froze when the light landed on something that was moving it was a rocking chair I got a serious pain in my stomach when I saw the back of somebody's head sitting in the rocking chair when the light landed on them the chair stopped rocking I ran up the stairs slammed the basement door shut ran outside slammed the back door shut and locked my front and back door after getting back inside I went to my room and stood at the window watching the house I then picked up the phone and called my dad
he seemed more surprised than concerned when I told him confirming that nobody lives there he calmly told me to get the police over there to check it out when I hung up the phone I looked out the window again and right across from me on the same level there was somebody standing at the upstairs window of the abandoned house with the window open I shut the blinds and called the police they told me to keep watch through my window and when I lifted the blinds back up he was gone I just hoped he was still
in the house by the time the cop showed up but of course just my luck the house was devoid of any people or furnit well except for one thing a single wooden rocking chair in the otherwise empty basement [Music]
