back when I was in elementary school I had a lot of different friends during those times I went to several sleepovers usually with my best friend James or some of my other good friends at one point during fifth grade though I remember that I had a friend named Bill Ryan I was pretty good friends with Orion but I like best friends or anything I thought he was cool though he was one of my newer friends because the previous year was his first at my school I'd been to his house once before for his birthday and
I think his parents were rich or something because their house was super nice he also had all the latest video games and the giant TV so one day he invited me over to have a sleepover at his house and I was really excited his mom called mine later in the day and then the next day I went to his house after school when I got to Orion's house I was surprised to see two other kids there there were two guys who seemed to be our age but I didn't recognize them they weren't O'Brien's brothers because
I knew he was an only child he introduced me to them and said they were his friends from his last school their names were Joey and Thomas I had no idea that Orion was having other friends over as well it made me a little less comfortable because I didn't know these guys but I figured that it would still be fun Ryan kind of started talking to Joey and Thomas and didn't seem to pay as much attention to me he talked about things that I didn't really know about and I felt like the odd man out
we played video games but had to take turns because there were four of us and only three controllers after hours of that we finally decided to go to bed we were all going to sleep in Orion's basement they had a big room with several couches and also had a couple of air mattresses two of us would take the two couches and the other two would take the two air mattresses I took the couch which was on the end of the room closes to the stairs I really didn't know what time it was when we all
went to sleep but it had to be pretty light at one time during the night I woke up when I did I saw that Thomas was crouched down at the end of the couch that I was sleeping on he appeared to be going through my backpack I mostly had school stuff inside of it but had a bunch of other stuff as well I was confused as to why he was doing this before I had a chance to sit up or ask him what he was doing he stood up with my backpack in hand and walked
out of the room I sat up looking around wondering what Thomas a kid I barely knew was doing with my backpack everybody else was sleeping about a minute later I heard his footsteps coming back and I pretended to be asleep when he was back in the room I opened my eyes to see I saw Thomas but he no longer had my backpack and my backpack was not back at the end of the couch either then Thomas got back to his air mattress and went back to sleep I fell asleep again shortly after and the next
morning when I woke up and my backpack still wasn't there I confronted Thomas in front of everybody after we were all up I asked Thomas why he took my backpack during the night I said that I had seen him he started laughing but I could tell in his face that he was nervous he said that he never touched my backpack and he didn't know what I was talking about I described him in detail what I saw but he still denied it and he started to get mad at me as well I asked him where my
backpack was and then showed everyone how mine wasn't there they suggested that I didn't even bring a backpack now this really made me bad because it seemed like Joey and Orion were both taking Thomas's side I told them that I was going home and I needed my backpack then I called my mom she came to pick me up and even went inside Orion's house and we both looked for it but eventually Orion's parents basically kicked us out and said that if it turned up they would call us I went home Furious obviously I had taken
my backpack to Orion's house because I had gone there straight from school and I always brought my backpack to school inside of my backpack it was mainly school stuff like notebooks folders and pencils but I also had some things of value such as my Nintendo DS and several games for it and other little knickknacks and some food I told my mom all about what had happened and she told me she would call Orion's parents again the next day if they didn't find it this was a Saturday and the next day on Sunday when I woke
up I went outside and on the front step of my house was my backpack however it was opened and emptied out except for the school supplies literally everything was gone from it other than my notebooks folders and pencils I was livid the next day at school I told Orion all about it and surprisingly he still took the side of his friend Thomas he said that he had no clue how my backpack would end up at my front step and then he got mad at me for accusing Thomas of stealing from me and said that Thomas
was his best friend that basically ended our friendship and I never hung out with him again and barely even spoke to him for the next two years until he changed schools again I really don't know who left my backpack in my front step there's no way that Thomas would know where I lived overall this was one of the creepiest things to happen to me this story happened about a year ago I worked for a company where I would have to travel occasionally for work projects during one work project in particular I carpooled and traveled with
a co-worker named Jake to an area about four hours away I will start out by saying that even before my trip My overall impressions of Jake were that he was sort of weird I wasn't all that excited about the idea of just he and I traveling together for work but when Jake asked me to carpool with him I just said sure immediately I hated myself for saying yes so fast but I didn't want to insult him by saying no plus he offered to do all the driving I figured that without having to drive I could
tolerate him and we left that morning and had a long and busy day of work by the time we were done on location we had some things that we needed to wrap up ideally we would do this back at the office but we were four hours away and it was already 7 pm we drove back and got within about an hour away but we were both really tired Jake said that he thought he was too tired to make it back to the office however his apartment was only 20 minutes down the road and said I
could sleep over if I wanted the truth is I didn't want to but I didn't really have a choice and figured it wouldn't be too bad so I agreed when we got to his apartment I saw that there was already a sleeping bag next to his couch he said I could sleep in the sleeping bag on the couch and overall his place was decent I pretty much went right to bed after the long day of work when I woke up Suddenly from my deep sleep the sleeping bag that I was in was as if it
was zipped shut completely it was over my head and I couldn't see anything I felt around to try to lift the sleeping bag from where my head was but I couldn't find the top of it then I realized what was going on the top of the sleeping bag was being held shut it was really hot in there and I was sweating I also felt like I was running out of air I tried sitting up but it was difficult I was still being held down and I realized that somebody must be holding the top of the
sleeping bag closed I started hitting at the area and trying to wiggle myself off the couch at last I was able to escape whoever had been holding the sleeping bag closed was now gone when I felt the cool fresh air from the rest of the room hit me it was refreshing but as I did I looked around the very dark living room and I saw what appeared to be Jake disappearing into the hallway towards his bedroom and then I heard the door quietly close and lock why had Jake done this to me was he joking
or was he serious it definitely wouldn't be a good joke to nearly suffocate someone and then run away in the middle of the night I was wide awake now and I looked at the clock it was 5 a.m and I had been sleeping for a good six hours or so we would have to leave for work in only a few more hours so I just went on my phone and stayed up for the rest of the night I really didn't want to take a risk going back to sleep after what had just happened when it
was about 7 A.M I got ready to leave and waited for Jake to get up he got up several minutes later and asked if I was ready to go then we left I didn't want to bring up the night before of what had happened and I was wondering if he would but he didn't we drove the next 30 minutes to work in almost silence and it was pretty awkward after we got to work we finished up the project and thankfully I didn't have to work with Jake for the rest of the day or the next
day and after that I never saw him again like two weeks later when I hadn't seen him at all I asked a co-worker who told me that Jake had been fired I wasn't able to find out from anybody why he was fired though but I was glad that he was gone I remember that I had been friends with him on Facebook so I searched for him but he was now gone from Facebook I thought maybe he deleted me but after searching I still couldn't find him I'm not sure what happened to him or where he
went but I'm almost certain that he tried to suffocate me that night many years ago when I was about 12 years old I had a sleepover at my best friend Kevin's house Kevin was my best friend from the time I was about five years old until probably College we are still friends to this day we had countless sleepovers at either my house or his house which were only a few miles apart from each other typically it would be on a weekend like a Friday night to Saturday and I remember that one Friday I went over
to his house after school Kevin's house was a split level his bedroom was on the upstairs and in the basement was where we hung out a lot I really liked his basement because they had a bunch of snacks a big fridge and of course a TV and video games we went down there first and hung out for a while I remember that Kevin's mom had to go take his sister somewhere and his dad was at one of his friends houses we played video games into the night and when it was dark out at probably like
8 PM all of a sudden we heard a noise coming from the door leading outside from the basement we both paused the game and looked up at the same time I think we both asked each other did you hear that it was pretty unlikely that Kevin's parents or sister will be trying to enter through the back sliding door in the basement neither of us could see to the door from where we were but it was just around the corner Kevin slowly got up and peeked around the corner and motioned for me to wait where I
was when he did he came sort of running back he said that there was a guy there I couldn't resist and I got up and peeked around the corner as well Kevin was right there was a man standing at the back door but it was really dark and I couldn't tell any details about him I ran back and I don't think the man saw us but to be honest I really have no clue we tried to figure out what to do neither Kevin or I had a cell phone but luckily there was a home phone
in the basement Kevin got it and called his dad and told him what was going on he said his dad was coming home and should be back in like 10 minutes in the meantime we had to figure out what to do I looked again to see if the guy was still there and he was we heard him try opening the door again thank goodness it was locked Kevin and I didn't want to stay downstairs any longer and we both ran upstairs we went into Kevin's bedroom and shut the door from there we couldn't hear the
man trying to open the door anymore but we figured that we would be able to hear him if he got inside the house not too long after weird the front door opening and then heard the voice of Kevin's dad we went downstairs and showed him where we had seen the man but the man was now gone Kevin's dad went outside and looked all around the yard which was about an acre he came back a while later saying whoever was there was now gone and he probably wouldn't come back after that Kevin and I played a
little more video games until it got late then we went up to go to bed Kevin actually had a bunk bed I'm not sure why because he had to hold room to himself but I slept on the bottom bunk and Kevin slept above it took me a while to fall asleep Kevin seemed to fall asleep pretty quick but I just wasn't quite as tired I laid in bed relaxing and trying to get tired but then I heard another noise it broke the complete silence in Kevin's house it was the sound of something hitting Kevin's bedroom
window then I heard it again I looked to the window but saw nothing my heart started racing and I was telling myself that it was nothing but I wanted to be certain so I got up and went over to the window and looked outside but when I did I saw a guy standing down below looking right up at me I jumped back and ran and woke up Kevin he was super confused at first but then got up and looked out the window the man was still there Kevin ran to his parents room and woke them
up I stayed at the window and looked outside the man was walking closer to the house and before long Kevin's parents entered the room and his dad walked over to the window at that point the man turned and ran away the police were called but when they arrived the guy was long gone the man didn't return for the rest of the night and I went home the next morning I was glad that I didn't live at Kevin's house because I would have been really afraid that the guy would return however I never heard Kevin mention
anything about him again
