that I would cover any shift they needed me to and I could fill in for any call-ins I needed the money the more hours the better well one night at around 8:00 p.m. just before my bedtime yay I got a call from work someone from the night shift had called in very irritating and tired I hesitantly agreed to cover the shift and got up to get ready I had never worked overnight before not at that McDonald's and not at any of my previous jobs I was kind of excited I mean it was night there would

be at least half as many customers coming through and the manager on duty was John the most laidback guy that worked there easy money when I arrived around 8:30 they were slammed I clocked in and chiseled away at the mountain of C customers in the lobby by 10:30 the sudden wave had died down and the building was mostly empty the previous shift leader left me with nothing but a good luck even though this was my first night shift so it was just me and John he was busy checking drawers or something while I manned the

drive-thru the front counter and the grill needless to say I was nervous if too many people pulled in I was [ __ ] my drive-through time would be horrid so instead of remaining relaxed like like I thought I would I ended up so focused that my heart was pounding the whole night anyway at our restaurant I'm not sure if it's the same for every Mickey D's our headsets will chime whenever someone pulls into the drive-thru it's a kind of pixelated bell sound that gets very annoying very fast this is exactly what I heard all of

a sudden so naturally I greeted the customer hi welcome to McDonald's how can I help you today I said with so much fake enthusiasm it even made me sick I never quite understood if it was a magnet or a scale that told us if a car drove through but the microphone was on ready to pick up the customer's voice as they ordered yet all I heard was White Noise nobody picked up nobody spoke I didn't even hear the rumble of an engent idling it was as if no one was there now this wasn't too weird

we've had this happen a few times since I started the thing can be triggered just by someone driving around the building or a person walking by the thing needed fixed that's for sure I didn't want to know every time someone took out the trash in the back as they rolled the bins over the drive-thru after about 3 minutes of static the mic clicked off meaning whatever was on the weit was gone finally no more annoying noise in my ear but less than a minute later it clicked on again that Bell chiming loudly in my ear

I rolled my eyes and repeated my greeting hi welcome to McDonald's how can I help you and again there was no reply the mic stayed on longer this time though I swear at one point I could hear heavy breathing I started to get freaked out at that moment I was pretty sure someone was outside trying to mess with me it turned off after about 10 minutes of me listening to nothing I I was tempted to take off the headset and make John wear it but my be all I can be attitude got the better of

me I tried to distract myself I started scrubbing the counters which had already been wiped down and checking to see if anything in the lobby needed restocked but everything was fine I needed to keep myself busy there was just something so Sinister about the darkness of the night just beyond those large Lobby Windows when the bell chimed once again I near nearly fainted I should have probably turned the volume down on that headset before I could say my shallow meaningless greeting I heard the loudest blood curdling scream the moment I heard this Screech I threw

off my headset and backed away from it what the hell was that shakily I put my headset back on I was pissed and terrified at the same time without another thought I ran angrily out of the store and headed toward the drive-thru I stood right next to the the menu and there was no one there but still somehow the static from my headset never disappeared the mic was still going whatever made the drive-thru go off was still there and then I heard it I see you a slowly Whispering voice coming from the mic I ran

back inside as fast as I possibly could I had been standing right next to the mic no one was there no one could have possibly made that sound there was no one that could have spoken those words to me I ran back into the light and warmth of the building and into the safety behind the counter I found John he was at the manager's desk head in his hand while typing in dates on the upcoming schedule what the hell was that I said louder than I meant to be he jumped in his chair and turned

around Christ man you scared the hell out of me what are you trying to pull I asked what are you talking about I haven't done anything he turned to continue typing on his computer I kind of felt bad I just interrogated my Superior the only fun Superior that worked there [ __ ] I walked up front and stood behind the counter just waiting it was about 1:30 when I looked at the clock again we were about halfway through the graveyard shift the night was going by so slow I ended up just standing in the Drive-Thru

Nook that way I could just play on my phone away from the view of the nearest camera we had had only two customers in the last hour so it was even more slow than I thought it would be so I just stood there leaning against the counter by the POS computer playing Clash of Clans and checking Facebook every so often but suddenly I felt cold air on on my forearm it gave me chills I looked over toward the drive-through window and it was ever so slightly open I didn't mind I paid no attention and continued

to invade random online folks slam I dropped my phone breaking the screen when it hit the ground I nearly had a heart attack my eyes darted all over searching for the origin of that noise the drive-thru window had been thrown wide open but I had been standing right next to it I hadn't heard anybody run off or walk up and I definitely hadn't seen anybody so who the [ __ ] just opened the drive-through window I was done I took my headset off and stood in the kitchen pretending to work waiting for this terrible shift

to end whether or not someone drove through the drive through I didn't care anymore I wasn't coming back after that night the rest of the night or morning I guess passed by without any further incidents never in my life have I encountered anything so strange and terrifying standing out there right next to the microphone that cold night then hearing those words whispered to me I will never forget it and I will do anything in my power to avoid having to work fast food and I am no longer a fan of horror movies I know I'm

in denial but I pray every day that what I heard that night was nothing but a prankster not a ghost or a demon that felt like taunting me but if that's really what it was I'm scared that there's nothing stopping it from happening again number two pervert at The Habit tril submitted by close call remember when McDonald's had those jungle gyms with the ball pits yeah for the longest time those were the hot spot for children to jump around and just have a [ __ ] ton of fun hell I even remember as a child

playing with my temporary friends in those balls every time we'd go to McDonald's I'd gly find other kids I hadn't met before and we jump into that rainbow colored pit now though with a child of my own I've heard plenty of horror stories that will make me keep keep my kids away from The Habit Trails altogether well actually it's not so much the horror stories I've heard that scare me it's an experience that happened not too long ago I try not to let my kids eat fast food it's disgusting it's unhealthy and it's addictive eating

fast food in and of itself is a terrible habit but there is one thing it does have that tempted me to treat my daughter and son to a couple of Happy Meals one day conven venience around noon I was enjoying my day off with the kids my wife was at work and I hadn't bought groceries like I was supposed to not to mention I was exhausted from work this was my first day off in a very long while so when my son Chris started begging for McNuggets I thought what the hell and stopped on by

our local artery clogging experts that McDonald's was extremely packed there had to have been four dozen people in there either lined up with waiting to order or sitting down awkwardly staring at each other expectedly the moment the kids saw the play area through the windows in the back they took off they hadn't even told me exactly what they wanted to eat figured though they probably only wanted to stop by McDonald's to play on The Habit Trail after several minutes I was finally up to order I got them both a couple of nugget Happy Mills and

headed to the play area and sat down at a bench the kids frolicked and played all over the damn thing with 10 other children most of which looked like they hadn't been bathed in a week as you can probably tell I'm not very fond of the McDonald's scene but again I was desperate that day the big hunk of plastic tubes and ladders could babysit my kids for an hour I was fine with that the kids played for about 10 minutes before they finally came down to eat their food we were enjoying our meal when I

noticed something rather strange there was a chubbier child in the ball pit he was redheaded with curly hair what was strange was the expression on his little face he looked like he was about to cry at any moment he was frowning and tearing up his eyes locked on one point in the room I looked to see what he was staring at it was just a glass window with lightly busy midday traffic just beyond it so I just kept eating my food trying not to pay any mind to the motionless kid but for every bite I

took I was more and more worried curious I mean my kids were here too if this kid was crying I'd like to know why eventually he pulled himself up out of the ball pit and began to walk back over to a woman that must have been his mother but on the walk over I noticed the kids pants were down and he started pulling them back up my first thought was Jesus Christ this kid just [ __ ] in the ball pit and at that point I was ready to leave my appetite was gone the appetite

I barely had in the first place I let my kids finish eating though not saying a word about what I saw once they were done I told them we had to go and despite their whining efforts to make me stay I made them get back in the car well later that week I was reading the newspaper I made the mistake of drinking hot coffee when I read a certain article I literally sped it out on myself when I read it at that very same McDonald's that we had gone to a man had been arrested for

get this sexually assaulting children while hiding in the ball pit holy [ __ ] luckily my kidss had never gone in there themselves that day but they had been so close to it and in the headline photo there was a woman being interviewed she was crying it was that chubby boy's mother I remembered her face and that red hair this moment terrified me shocked me more than I had ever felt before I feared for my children and for the society as a whole we let our kids run around play and trust that the world built

around us is safe and protected but that day right under my nose was someone that within seconds could have ruined my children's lives forced a lifetime of therapy on them and took away their normaly from then on I am so grateful that my kids were spared that I can only pray that that poor little boy grew up all right and that that perverted [ __ ] got what he deserved also if you're wondering about the case itself this happened around ' 89 and I've tried a few times these days to find it online but I

guess it's just not on the web doubt the story if you want but as a father I'm not spreading this to tell some disgusting lie I'm telling you this story as a warning and a cautionary tale no matter how you've raised your kids stay close to them and keep your eyes open number three bathroom creeper submitted by m Perkins public bathrooms have always scared me in school no matter how bad I had to go I would not use the bathrooms I just couldn't even force myself to use them I mean I've seen kids make fun

of other kids just for going to the bathroom kids are horrible I wanted to avoid that at all costs people simply scared me they would embarrass you humiliate you hurt your feelings all over something so natural and stupid so for most of my life I avoided public restrooms but one day this was in 2002 we were driving through Dallas at the end of a road trip on our way home it was me and two other friends Jessica and Ruby it was maybe 11: at night and we were on the highway they were starving I was

tired but had to pee bad and we were still an hour from home I had already been holding it for about 2 hours I'm surprised I even made it that far anyway we were passing one of the many dozens of random McDonald's in Dallas and Jessica suggested we pulled over and take a break of course I was extremely hesitant about using the bathroom there I would almost rather pee in a bottle in the car then go into a public restroom for the first time in my life my body went out on this one I got

out of the car and ran before I peed all over myself it only took me a second to locate the bath BS and to my dismay there were no family restrooms I was already there and seconds away from bursting I threw myself Through The Swinging Door first the smell hit me now let me tell you just because it was a woman's restroom doesn't mean it wasn't disgusting this thing smelled rancid sort of like spoiled milk or a rotten diaper it was bad there were three stalls I quickly checked for feet below the doors and saw

that they were each empty the coat post was clear I opened the first one and nearly threw up there was piss all over the seat used toilet paper scattered on top and next to the toilet and it looked as if the thing had been used daily but hadn't been flushed for weeks I shut it and very reluctantly checked the second stall that one was clear and clean but somehow for some reason smelled three times as bad as the other one just in case I checked the third stall it was disgusting as well so I stepped

back and into the second and locked it well it didn't really lock the little bolt caught in the hole but anyone that wanted inside that stall would just have to push that creeped me out but I figured I'd be in and out in a few seconds so I covered the seat in toilet paper and sat down slowly it was a relief to finally get all of that out of my system 15 seconds of relief later I was about to stand up when I heard the swinging door open I froze someone had entered the room with

me immediately I stayed quiet as possible trying to pretend I wasn't there yeah I'm a freak I just really hated being in a vulnerable spot like that I waited for the person to do their business but I never heard the faucet come on in fact I never heard anyone open a stall that's odd I thought I had heard the footsteps after the door opened but now there was no sound if anyone was there I'd definitely hear them breathing at least I waited a few more minutes still no other sound came so I assumed I was

safe maybe somebody had walked in and backed out maybe someone changed their minds about coming in I didn't know but to be sure I lowered my head ever so slowly to check for the feet of someone else in the room with me there was a man's face staring up at me he smiled a toothless grin he was lying down on the bathroom floor looking up at me he was dirty with Messy gray hair and a darker gray beard I jumped off the seat pulling my pants up while trying to cover up all my Exposed Skin

with my arms I screamed I knew everyone in that building would have heard me a second later I heard laughing and the sound of footsteps running out of the back bathroom then maybe 10 seconds after that I could hear Jessica and Ruby are you okay Sherry what happened Jessica called knocking on my stall door I could barely even talk I didn't know I was crying but there were tears running down my face I remembered I needed to pull my pants up so I did I stepped out to see their surprised and worried faces oh my

God you don't look good did something happen are you hurt Jessica wanted answers I shook my head some [ __ ] pervert was staring up at me from under the stall Jesus are you okay where'd he go Ruby sounded angry I don't know he just ran out I replied starting to calm down we all walked back to the car eyes peeled for that creepy man the girls begged me to make a police report but I couldn't help but feel I don't know weird I guess I just wanted to get home take a shower get in

my own bed besides I only saw the man for maybe 5 seconds before he was up and gone I climbed in the back seat of the car and sat back before we stopped I was tired and ready to go to sleep but now I felt wide awake and homesick a little bit shaky as we took off I ended up glancing ing back at the place the big neon Arch hurting my eyes then I saw him I swear to God it was the same man he was standing exactly where we had been parked smiling and waving

goodbye at me I got chills travel in packs girls keep each other safe I can only be thankful that that creepy man wasn't more desperate number four McDonald's mugging submitted by candescent Skies this is one of those things that I and probably everyone else easily assumed would never happen to me needless to say I didn't expect it and it has left me very Twitchy and nervous since then this this happened in 2007 when I lived in Kansas there was a local McDonald's in my town that I stopped at every morning or at least try to

one of those half gas station half fast food joints this one just happened to be at a very convenient corner on my way to work so I'd often go in grab a McMuffin and a can of Starbucks espresso to get my day going this was a Tuesday and I remember it all plain as day unfortunately for some reason or another the McDonald's side of the store was crowded that morning there were at least 30 elderly folks there chatting up the place like a bunch of teenagers I almost walked out the line was a bit long

and I only had 20 minutes to get to work the drive itself was 10 minutes long so I didn't have too long to be waiting but I had never been late and I was starved that morning so I figured what the hell I stepped in line and waited eyeballing the the menu to see if there was anything new or if there was something else I wanted even though there was no way in hell I'd be changing up my routine as I stood waiting I felt something poke against my lower back before I could turn around

I heard someone whisper a bit too close in my ear don't do anything my heart froze I felt paralyzed The Voice continued while I tried not to panic I'm just just going to grab your wallet everything will be fine if you just don't move and don't say a word I was silent but honestly I had never been more terrified maybe it was a kid with a butter knife trying to take advantage of me or maybe it was an ex-convict desperate for money with a gun in his hand I had no way to be sure and

I wasn't about to die on a Tuesday morning at a [ __ ] McDonald's the [ __ ] is it I heard him nearly shout behind me he just barely managed to whisper the man sounded pissed that's when I realized I must have left my wallet in the car often I would put my wallet in the passenger seat or in the cup holder as it would make my back hurt or my bottom uncomfortable so where the [ __ ] is it he asked very hurriedly it it's in my car I said nervously well looks like

we were going for a little ride then he seemed relieved [ __ ] I thought he was happy we'd be going in my car away from people away from prying eyes he could make me go anywhere he wanted me to God I was so scared my heart was racing I wanted to take off running and scream that someone was mugging me I was surrounded by so many people but I felt more afraid than I've ever been in my life and for the first time in my life I was actually afraid I was going to die

I started thinking quickly I had to figure something out I had to get myself out of this [ __ ] mess if I turned around or made any sudden movements surely he'd Ed the weapon that he had shoved into my spine if I spoke too loud I'd be dead before anyone could do anything so I was stuck life endangered in The Breakfast line at a McDonald's how the hell had my life turned out that way anyway there was one thing I could do that didn't require me risking the existence of an actual weapon behind me

the guy didn't sound old but he didn't sound young either I thought I could talk my way out of this I swallowed hard and gathered my courage I don't think you want that wallet I whispered back to him my head turned toward my side as far as I could get away with shut up start walking he seemed to be ignoring me I don't think 10 bucks is worth 15 years in prison Maximum Security Prison too he must have heard me that time because he seemed to stand still he didn't urge me to keep walking I

tried to look even further behind me to see his face but I couldn't I did manage to see a woman with three unwieldy pre-teen boys come in I continued robbery with a firearm is a first-degree felony and I honest ly don't think you'd be fast enough to shoot or stab me before I ran through those doors what the [ __ ] was I thinking my heart felt like I was going to explode every word I whispered nearly came out stuttered but somehow I found the power to make them sound confident I was no lawyer but

I remembered a bit of the basic stuff from a legal studies course in high school the kind of [ __ ] they nail into your head and can't forget thank God for that this time shut the [ __ ] up I'm sure you've got more money than that I see the coat you're wearing I saw the car you got out of well if there's not more than 10 he sort of snickered let's just hope there's more than 10 [ __ ] it hadn't worked and now I was sure he was threatening to kill me if

I didn't have the money and the [ __ ] up part I really only had 10 bucks in my wallet I had recently paid a few bills and was ready to glide through the rest of the week with food from home I've actually done it a few times before come on keep moving he shoved the weapon in my back hard it was cold and painful I didn't want to move but I felt I had no choice Jimmy I heard a female voice behind us shout then there was a hard smack as if something fell to

the floor a lot of movement behind me made me turn the man was no longer looking I turned around and saw it one of the boys that had come in was wrestling around with his brother when he was shoved into my mugger the mugger himself who was far more thin and frail than he had sounded and wearing a thick black hoodie was on his ass in the floor staring at something that lay on the ground I looked toward it a jet black pistol it wouldn't have been noticeable blending in with that damn hoodie he wore

in an instant I made a break for it and so did he sadly he was closer and grabbed the gun I expected the worst to happen but it didn't he grabbed the gun shoved it in his pocket and ran full speed out of the place when I was sure he was out of the building I looked around and saw that everyone had seen it too they had seen the man drop the gun immediately I got out my phone and called the police I made a statement told them everything they talked to several other folks as

well in the end though nobody got a good enough look at his face and last I heard he was never caught I like to hope that he ended up trying and failing again and was arrested for a different crime because it is honestly a bit hard to sleep at night knowing that there are terrible people out there and then there are even worse people too who are still at large number five midnight McDonald's creature submitted by Marco Poco this short but terrifying experience took place around late September of 2014 me and some friends were making

a night of it at my my place and at around 1:00 in the morning we all had the munchies we decided to hop in my van and drive over to the McDonald's that was about 2 miles down the road it had been raining that night just before we left so the empty streets had that creepy wet Glimmer from the street lamps it was already an eerie scene the van's air conditioner hadn't worked for months either so I usually drove with the windows down we pulled up to the drive-thru I noticed that there was no one

in the parking lot and not a single car in the Drive-Thru that was fine by me it just meant we'd get our food more quickly it is important to note though that at this particular McDonald's there were numerous trees on the right and the restaurant itself to the left as she pulled through it was almost a forest but it was too thin to really be that and just on the other side of it the island of trees led to a pharmacy we pulled up in front of the menu and waited to be greeted and waited

and waited eventually I said hello trying to get someone's attention but no one answered the guys were telling me to just pull forward and see if they'd meet me at the window one of them said that despite the 24-hour sign that they might be closed for some repairs or something I doubted that if anything this whole situation was kind of suspicious just when I decided to go ahead and pull forward to the window one of my friends said whoa whoa whoa stop I put my foot back on the brck and turned toward him did you

hear that there's something growling over there I thought he was joking until I turned toward where he was looking I saw a glowing yellow eyes next to a tree about 5 yards away from the van I could just barely make out a low steady growl I assumed it was just a dog so I rolled up the windows on that side so it didn't try to climb in or jump at us I continued to pull forward when suddenly the thing that had been behind the tree ran out of the darkness and beside the van I only

got a brief look at it but I was entirely sure that this was no dog it was more the size of a grown mu but thin and bony its skin was green and brown with random hair scattered all over it I kept my foot on the brake and rolled up the rest of the windows right away I didn't want to keep moving just in case my mind was playing tricks on me and this was some kid playing a joke we all waited spooked out of our minds I kept looking out of the windows to try

to find it the thing must have been just below us where we weren't able to see then someone in the back screamed I looked toward them and saw at the back window just above the edge of the metal were a set of eyes and horns small but pointed horns the thing was just staring in at us and at that moment we all screamed and jumped away from the creature then with a loud screeching noise the creature took off back into the small patch of trees I didn't hesitate I drove back home it wasn't worth a

Big Mac staying next to those damned woods with that weird thing out there I have no idea what we all saw that night and we haven't seen anything like it since it's eyes looked reptilian with that sort of black slit in the middle I honestly have never seen an animal in real life or on TV that looked anything like it and I hope I never see it again the next time you're out on the town and just can't wait to get home to have your next meal think twice about stopping anywhere even McDonald's you are

never as safe as you want to be all it takes is one person one Spirit one creature to decide that you will be their next victim and you will never see it coming good night be sure to like share comment and subscribe if you enjoyed the video thanks time for the discussion question what was your most terrifying or worst experience at McDonald's food poisoning and attack for me it would be the time I went with my fiance one morning trying to enjoy my bacon egg cheese biscuit when a toddler pulled down her pants and [
