This is probably the scariest thing that's ever happened to me you I'm not on any medication nor have I ever experienced sleep paralysis I've really had any paranormal experiences or scary experiences in general which is why I'm kind of nervous to share mine is I have no idea what the responses will be but here goes nothing so I had a dream about two monkeys they're the ones that have those huge Red eyes and Tiny pupils I'm not sure what they called but they're terrifying to me and they were climbing on top of each other under
that was a caption that said autism yeah I don't know either but then the scene changed to a a museum filled with giant snakes that were all in their own Chambers all the chambers had spaces in the wall that would allow them to escape if they wanted to which is why I spent most of the dream flying in the air and pressing myself against The ceiling and then I woke up because I actually felt something climb onto my mattress I could literally feel the weight of whatever was climbing onto my bed and the mattress was
actually going down and then on my other leg I felt something small sitting on it I immediately thought it was one of those monkey things so I shook my leg hoping that it would fall off my bed and hit its head hard enough to die or something and then I heard this dog likee thing Sniffing my inner thigh so I stopped holding my breath thinking that it was my dog and I stuck my thumb out trying to find its mouth so I could see if she'd lick me because she usually does that and a did
so thinking it was my dog I lifted my head from under the covers but when I did there was nothing there I literally sat there just staring at nothing thinking that somebody's head would pop out from the end of my bed or Something but nothing ever happened I've had this happen to me before when I was younger and it's something that I remember clearly I was around the age of 11 or 12 and felt another child climbing to my bed so I screamed for my parents naturally and when they came in they told me that
nobody else was in the house does anyone know what's happening or have had any similar experiences to mine so this happened in 2011 I just gotten out of a rough relationship a few months prior to this happening as well and my friends encouraged me to to try dating again so I eventually caved and made a profile on the website Plenty of Fish I was surprised with just how many messages I'd received within the first few hours too most were just people saying hi or asking to hook up I wasn't looking for a hookup so I
ignored those messages then after about a week a guy roughly about An hour away from me messaged me and he was cute so I messaged him back the conversation was pretty casual at first he asked if I'd like to go for a coffee sometime and not thinking anything of it I said sure and this is where it started getting a bit weird though he started to get pushy and asked when we could grab a coffee and I told him that I didn't have my own car so I'd have to borrow my mom's car to meet
up with him he offered to come and pick me up but I wasn't Comfortable with the idea in the next message it made my blood run cold because it red I'm sure your hometown isn't that big if I knocked on a few doors someone would be able to tell me where you lived I replied are you crazy I'm sorry but that's kind of creepy and this really pissed him off he messaged me multiple times after this and everything said you know I have a gun right I could shoot you and make you disappear no one
would look for you You're nothing but a dirty [ __ ] and I could kill you I'll throw you down a well and no one will ever find you obviously I was really scared at this point so I asked him just to please leave me alone he replied though with the following I know where your hometown is it's not a big town and I can find you at this point I'd had enough and I just blocked him I reported this account to Plenty of Fish as well and I deleted my account Eventually I was really
on edge for the next few weeks after the fact I was afraid that he was actually going to come look for me luckily nothing ever came from it but I do wonder what just would have happened if I had gone out for that [Music] coffee so me and my mom were staying with a friend and they put us up for a week or so in this small village while we visited it was our first ever time Visiting there it creeped us out for sure while that was our first time visiting there we didn't know at
the time but it was also going to be our last so it was in the last few days of our visit that we decided to go to a pub to watch The Royal Wedding My mom and her friend went out to get a cigarette and I decided to go out to get some air as well nothing seemed out of the ordinary to me at first but I distinctly remember My mom and her friend saying that it seemed eerily quiet and the outside had a really strange atmosphere to it in the end they pinned it down
to everyone just watching The Royal Wedding They carried on talking on the step of the door and just around the corner as a bus stop which runs pretty regularly a man got off and carried on walking he seemed quite Shifty but again we didn't think too much of it and we didn't really see what he looked like and the day carried On as normal a few days later but we nipped to the shop just down the road from the place that we watched the wedding to get some sweets while we were in there a police
officer entered and asked if we'd been around this exact place on the day of the royal wedding we said that we'd been at the pub watching it and she carried on to say that a family of four were murdered and there were reports that the individual got on the bus that Headed this way before he went and killed them she proceeded to tell us about the suspect and it turns out that it was that guy that had gotten off that bus looked Shifty and then just walked away we told the officer what we could but
couldn't be of much more help the murders rocked The Village apparently and the dude got caught and eventually got 40 years in prison have you ever found any subscriptions that you forgot about or Any you paid for twice and didn't even realize it I know I have from old Netflix accounts to vpn's I've done this countless times how much do you think you're paying in subscriptions every month the answer is probably more than you think and did you know that over 74% of people have subscriptions that they've forgotten about I certainly did like this D

few months after moving in though that we started to experience the strangeness as we called it the first situation Happened One Night when me and my fiance were sleeping in our bedroom we always slept with the lights off because well that's what normal people Do right and I've never thought twice about it however this night just felt different she was making strange noises and I felt very strange as if there was this kind of static top energy around the room she started mumbling in her sleep and I couldn't make out any other the words but
she seemed as if she was struggling maybe I tried to wake her but she just wouldn't wake up I tried to ignore it in the end and go back to Sleep but this static strange feeling just got so bad that I just had to turn on my bedside lamp she just kept making these strange noises and it made me so uncomfortable that I had this completely what felt like random sudden urge to close my bathroom door that was diagonal to our bet I really can't explain what made me do this seemingly unrationed again being a
complete skeptic to anything paranormal or strange I still couldn't shake this deep urge to close This door for some reason so I got up from the bed to close it now I only made it a few steps towards the bathroom door when my fiance shot up straight in the bed gasping for air and began boiling her eyes out my DED over to her to comfort her and she began rambling about how she felt as if something was holding her down yet she said that she had left her body I'm guessing sleep paralysis upon further research
but she was standing in The corner where the bathroom door was allegedly she said she saw me walking towards her and that's what woke her up now all this being said I was a skeptic and I didn't really believe in things like this but she was not one to ever make something up like this and with the look of complete horror on her face I actually believed her after that incident we both agreed that we just didn't feel safe in that room anymore but something fells off so We both just went downstairs to sleep on
our living room couch that very same night not even 30 minutes later her son under being 5 years old at the time started screaming bloody murder but due to the strange situation we had earlier we were both still awake I jumped off the couch and ran upstairs he was already running downstairs to us and we met in the kitchen on the middle floor once I was able to calm him down and stop him from Crying he was able ble to explain what was wrong and he said that clear as day he saw black things coming
out from his wall that were trying to hurt him now I understand that he was just 5 years old he could have had a bad dream for sure but this was the very first time that he had ever claimed such a thing even the first time that he ever claimed to have a bad dream since I've known him and I had been in the picture for well over 2 years at this point again though being a Skeptic it just didn't didn't seem possible in this moment especially considering what had just happened 30 minutes before and
so again May believed him so I comforted him and brought him down with me and his mother to the living room to sleep with us and my fiance also got her daughter from her room because it just didn't feel safe anymore leaving them alone the next incident though was pretty small but I still can't explain it so a few weeks Had passed from that night and me and my fiance were in our living room but she was on the sofa and I was on this Lazy Boy we were just watching TV and the kids were
in the upstairs living room just playing and I remember my fiance's daughter distinctively came downstairs to tell her something but when she saw me she started freaking out and crying whil being worried her mother went after her asking what was wrong and she said the girl next to me was mad at her now This was really strange because the only ones that were there were me my fiance her son and confused but we asked her what she meant and she directly said the girl in the weird white dress doesn't want me here I remember being
so thrown off from this that it made me kind of feel a bit ill especially after what had happened already I knew that something wasn't right and she said that there basically was a little girl in a white dress next To me where I was sitting and when she went to talk to me she said that it didn't like her I still to this day don't even know what to make of this because it's just really weird but a few more weeks pass and things had almost gone back to normal except not quite because since
that night there just seemed to be a thick tension in the air if that's the right way to put it something had shifted my fiance seemed tense and Easily irritable which was very against her nature she would fly off the handle of things just a few weeks prior she wouldn't think twice about and honestly she just didn't seem herself the next experience that happened follows a few weeks after this and it was intense and before I say the following I need the reader to understand that I assure you that everything that I'm telling you is
the truth the details are a little bit Blurry because I tried to push it out of my mind as best as I could so it started as a regular evening I had just gotten home from work and my fiance and I were relaxing downstairs in the living room watching TV everything seemed normal however at some point I noticed my fiance had put on some headphones and was listening to music pretty loudly everything seemed normal but at some point I noticed my fiance had put some Headphones on and was listening to music pretty loudly at the
time I didn't really think anything of it but this was strange because she hadn't really done that before especially since we were both watching TV together it just kind of seemed peculiar but again I just brushed It Off however she did seem really agitated towards me for some reason I remember trying to recall if I'd done something To upset her trying to Rack my brain as I sat there but I truly couldn't think of anything so again I just brushed it off a few hours go by and she just seems increasingly agitated as well but
to the point where she basically won't look at me she's just kind of sitting in the corner of the couch listening to loud music ignoring me it starts to unsettle me so I begin to ask her what's wrong and she loses it she starts throwing things at me screaming at me and we Fight over what until this day I seriously cannot for the life of me think of I don't even remember what the argument was about like at all but it was just a blur the next thing I do remember is that she just storms
upstairs me still upset and really confused I stay downstairs and I just continue watching TV letting her go to give her some space maybe 30 minutes to an hour go by and I go to check on her and I find her upstairs in her bedroom On the floor in the pitch black crying on the floor I go to her and ask her what's wrong but she doesn't answer she just continues to cry on the floor for a few more minutes and I continue to try and comfort her but it's almost as if she doesn't even
notice that I'm there she then stands directly up almost in like a trance sort of thing and begin shuffling around the house really slowly I follow her asking her what the hell she's doing but she never really Gives me a reply she just continues shuffling slowly around the house with this strange look on her face she goes from our upstairs bedroom down the stairs to our kitchen in the middle floor she then goes to the banisters in the kitchen and drops to her knees and begins banging her head on at this point I know that
something really strange is going on down but I just can't seem to help her or get her out of this trans-like stage so I just follow her And I put my hands in front of her forehead so that she wasn't completely bashing her forehead on the banisters I was pleading for her to stop and snap out of it but she just completely ignored me as if I wasn't even there then she stood back up and began walking upstairs she goes into our bedroom walks into the bathroom walks into her closet and drops to her knees
at this point she splutter out what seemed to be nonsense that I just can't understand she Continues to bang her head on the carpeted closet floor the whole time I'm trying to talk to her get to her but to no Prevail eventually though I'm just over it I'm freaked out beyond belief and I just want this to be over so I grab her and I try to lift her up and she begins almost hissing at me trying to bite me and it frightens me but I know that whatever the hell is going on I can't
just let her do this So I forcefully heard her downstairs and the whole time she's cussing at me making really strange noises and I get to the downstairs living room and I put her on the couch then she just starts laughing at me almost in an evil way as well now I know my fiance and this this just wasn't her the look on her face literally wasn't her own and I could tell that something had taken her over or something like that I know that that sounds crazy but that's the only way I Can put
it so I out her on the couch and ask her what the hell is going on and what's happening I can remember her laughing and just looking me in the face saying that she's gone she kept saying it over and over again she's gone she's gone you stupid [ __ ] she's gone and when she started saying this stuff I was completely terrified I mean I had seen enough scary movies to know what was happening so I told her that I don't accept that I Kept trying to get to her and this happened for a
few minutes all the while I had to almost hold her on this couch and the next thing I know she lunges at me trying to bite me but this time this time is different but when she lunges towards me and grabs onto my shoulder I feel this huge wave of energy that comes along with it but that's the best way I can explain it as well just a a wave of energy she makes contact with me and I feel this completely overwhelming wave Of emotion and just nausea I immediately run to a trash can just
a few feet away and begin dry heaving extremely heavily when no vomit comes out but I feel something coming out of my mouth but I don't physically see anything seconds later I begin crying uncontrollably harder than I've ever cried in my entire life just balling and I crawl up in a ball and I just cry my eyes out I can feel this extremely strange emotion inside of me that I can't even begin to Explain but I just sit there on the floor and I cry I noticed my fiance after I begin vomiting has collapsed on
the floor and even though I was crying my eyes out I can still remember the way that she fell because it was kind of like a ragd doll was just dropped her knees just buckled and she fell to the carpet seconds later she was gasping for air and crawled to me to comfort me she then began saying I'm so sorry but over and over again it Only took a minute or two for me to reather myself but after I did I left that house because I just had to get out the emotion that had taken
over me was too overwhelming and I felt like I was just emotionally drowning I ran outside and my fiance followed and as soon as I got outside I felt this feeling disappear I felt normal again me and my fiance just sat outside in our driveway until the morning came and nothing that intense happened again The remainder of our lease there as well and you can bet your bottom dollar that we moved out September of 2019 as soon as our lease was up but since that night we never really felt safe in that house again I
really struggled sleeping there and if I did the lights were always on and I only ever got a few hours a night and as someone who has always been a bit of a skeptic of the Paranormal I really just don't know what to make of any of this I Try to be a factor of an individual as much as possible but no matter how hard I try I just cannot explain what happened that night I truly believe that it was something paranormal and it was terrifying and it's changed my views of what's out there for
sure nothing has happened to us since we moved out of that house and I'm really hoping that it stays that way I tell my story mostly to just vent because I've never told anyone This it feels really good though to get it off my chest because I've been living with this for some time but if anyone has had any similar experiences and they feel like sharing I'm definitely willing to listen because what happened to me has changed me forever and to anyone out there who is going through something like this I just want you guys
to know that you're not alone [Music] So I was born with really beautiful eyes just like my mom's and my eyes are dark blue on the outside but on the inside they're like a light blue with different shades basically and I also have a bit of brown around the pupils so I work at a gas station just off the main Highway in Canada so I meet a lot of different people some are creepy and some are okay I've had older men look at me and ask if my eyes were real and if they could have
them not That creepy right but then there was this one guy that just took it a little too far so I was out doing some chores around the gas station like normal it was extremely early and the sun hadn't popped up yet my partner was inside but he kept watching over me due to me being the youngest and a certain encounter that I had my co-workers tend to be protective of me he was watching me through the large windows but there was a section where he couldn't see me the Dumpster so I happened to be
in this section just cleaning up garbage when I saw a guy with a plastic bag walk up and tossed it in the dumpster I have a habit of looking at the person who walks close to me and when I looked at him he must have noticed my eyes the light outside was pretty strong I'll admit and he says to me are your eyes real I say yeah trying to continue to work and he says wow they're beautiful walking closer to me I say thanks feeling uncomfortable Once again but I'm used to this and then he
says can I have them I let out a small chuckle thinking that he was joking as a lot of people did but when he didn't laugh and he just stared at me I began to feel a little bit uneasy so I stopped what I was doing and my turn to leave and that's when he grabbed my arm no I want your eyes uh sir please let go of me oh come on I want to stare at Those Eyes Forever sir I tried to free my arm from him but he happened to be Stronger than me
and didn't let go please just let go of me I did another tug and I finally freed myself from him and I ran inside I told my partner what had happened but when he went outside to confront the man he had disappeared I honestly don't know if he was just on drugs or if it was crazy and honestly I don't want to find out to some this might not be bad but to me it was definitely creepy I mean yeah sure I've had people comment about my eyes And people jokingly ask for them my co-workers
did the same when we first met but this guy this guy seemed [Music] serious after a painful breakup I decided to try Tinder and Bumble I gone on a few dates on both and everything went fine this one guy and tinda seemed nice enough and he was attractive and intelligent and a school teacher in the area too we talked for about 2 weeks Before the idea of a date came up but he said that he'd been in a recent auto accident leading to a concussion he was thus advised against unnecessary driving for at least a
month and as a person in the medical field this actually checked out to me we talked for about 2 months as he was healing and then finally had our date we had lunch at a place that he picked it was fine and the food was good and the alcohol selection was nice he was rude to the waitress which put him In the negative along with his Myspace photo angles but after lunch he asked if I would take a walk with him through this park I said yes and we drove there separately it was about 1
mile away we walked through the park until we came by some swings I beine for them because my love swings and there was nobody else in the park as I was happily swinging he stood there just watching me and finally he asked hey what do you think would happen if you were to die Right now how would you feel and I laughed feeling happy on the swings and I said I'd be happy I guess then he asked well what would you feel if someone made that happen and so I asked what he meant and he
elaborated what would you feel if I were to make you crack your head as you fell off the swings that's all the specifics that I remember because what followed was this guy describing how he would kill and torture me I don't remember the Specifics but I do remember thinking oh crap there's no one here that let's keep him happy and agreeing to certain words like scream pain and big finally our family started down the hill toward us and as soon as I saw them I booked it him at my heels blathering about whatever it was
that he was talking about I got to my car there was a full audience at this point and he leaned into me saying so I'm going to lean into you and I flinched away from him and he Straightened up and ran to his car and left I tried to report him on Tinder but he had already deleted his account at this point he never did tell me his last name he explicitly wouldn't when I asked that day as well 2 weeks later he texted me saying that's my manners were horrible and that my swing set
banter was terrible I blocked him and I had nightmares for weeks afterwards so this was back in high School in promite I was a sophomore loser just helping take down decorations so no booze for me full disclosure I was 16 and it might have been 1:00 in the morning by the time that I was driving home from the train station where prom was held actually a really nice venue to be honest in rural Southern VA at the time I drove this piece of crap 1994 F-150 which was built like a freaking tank and I wasn't
super familiar with the roads around the train Station but the one that I was on had cornfields on both Sid for a few Acres back then it's turned into the Deep Woods I'm headed home doing maybe 45 when all of a sudden half of my truck just pops up and down like I've hit the mother of all speed humps on one side and having just got my life I was like oh [ __ ] so I pulled over to make sure that I hadn't messed up a blown tire I put the truck and park and
look back for a second and but when I do I see this huge mass just laying in the middle of the road that's 100% was not there when I stopped my first instinct was I just killed someone's dog and my heart drops I've got my hand on the door handle ready to go see if this dog is okay when the hairs on my arms just stand up on Instinct I look in the rearview mirror to see this thing getting up and at first I was kind of stoked and maybe surprised that it was bigger than
I Thought but stoked that it was alive and then it really stood up like on two legs mind you this was all illuminated by my crappy brake lights in the middle of nowhere and I was pretty freaked out but when it stood up I could tell that it was kind of hunched open even then it was was just as tall as the 9 or 10t corn in the fields it had a massive rib cage emaciated long face a hollow looking thing just stood up and looks dead at me before shuffling across the Road back into
the fields and at that I just took off and drove home and cried a bit and eventually when I got home I just went to sleep I found a massive dent in my Fender the next morning and I knew that I had really hit something it messed me up for a good while and even now I still don't like driving at night a few years ago me and my friend had decided to check out an old house that we had found it was at the edge of Some Woods in a clearing and pretty derelict overall
it looked pretty eerie but we were looking for an adventure so we carried on with that plan the front door was boarded shut pretty tight so we headed to the back and it was also Bo up next to the door was a window that looked fairly easy to slide up the glass was broken and there were cobwebs on the inside and we looked through the window and noticed the inside was pretty empty aside from a few bottles on the floor we Managed to slide the window up and we climbed inside and instantly there was a
smell that I can only describe as just putrid like garbage the room that we were in though seemed to have previously been a lounge or a dining room or something but there was no furniture obvious ly directly across from where we had entered there was an old kitchen the floor tiles had been removed along with any appliances leaving the walls pretty much bare aside From outlines of where they had previously been we moved into the next room which still had the carpet and an old painting hung on the wall above a door next to it
where a few empty bottles of what I assume was alcohol were we opened the door and there were these stairs leading downstairs Into Darkness and when we opened the door we could just barely hear a faint in noise coming from down there we didn't have a flashlight so we didn't want to go down There so we just closed the door and headed towards the staircase at the end of the room but as we head it up we noticed the smell in the air was just getting stronger at the top none of the rooms had doors
apart from one the door was black and it looked like it was covered in scratches that kind of looked like claw marks one of the rooms was a bathroom that was empty apart from a bathtub the bottom was covered in yellow spots but by the tub there were loads And loads of syringe like needles probably about 10 or 15 of them on the floor next to some newspaper and string we moved over to the room with the door and it seemed like the smell was coming from this room we opened the door slowly and it
was pretty dark inside as the window was coming up there were lots of garbage bags in the floor and in the corner there was a sleeping bag that seemed to have something inside of it we thought that we could see feet popping Out of the bottom so we slowly closed the door and thought that we should probably just leave in case that was actually someone in there we headed back downstairs and when we did we noticed that the basement door was slightly open we're almost 100% certain too that we had closed it so we just
ran for the window as we were climbing out we heard something smash inside so we started running and we just didn't walk back when I think back to this day now I Realized that what we did was pretty stupid it could have been a very close call with someone [Music] dangerous I just finished my shift working as a receptionist for a gym I worked the opening shift so I was there from 4:30 a.m. until around 11: a.m. I hadn't slept at all the night before so I decided to order an Uber so that I could
get home as soon as possible when I got into the car he noticed my uniform And started asking me about my work my boss my co-workers were customers he kept asking if they were fit and goodlook guys and all that sort of stuff I'm usually okay with a bit of idal chat with Uber drivers but these 20 questions were a bit much he then became insistent that I should use my looks to get promoted by flirting with my bots said things like just promise you'll sleep with him if he gives you a raise and Meathead
guys are so stupid that they'll Do anything for a girl who Smiles at them I made a disgusted face and said that I wasn't interested in sleeping with my boss trying to deter the conversation he said you don't actually have to sleep with him just get the raise and then if he tries anything threaten to take him to HR I kept saying that I wouldn't do anything like that and I found that kind of thing inappropriate and he kept insisting that this was the only way to Get ahead of my other female co-workers and if
I was a smart woman I would use the advantages Society gave me at that point I was completely done listening to him but wasn't any closer to my home so I just stopped responding he then said oh I get it you're a good girl type you're probably just waiting for Prince Charming to take interest in you and beg you to marry him right again I just said nothing I'm not the type to defend myself to someone that I'll never see Again he them one on this rant about how all marriages are a shame and it's
impossible for any human to be monogamous with one person because it's just not in our instincts to only sleep with one person and that's I'd be wasting my time being celibate because I should be having sex with as many men as possible since I'm biologically made to breed and take care of children and I'd feel much more fulfilled if I just did that and yes this dude actually said all Of that out loud I could barely believe it myself and I was there listening to it but we finally made it to my address though and
he turned around and asked if I had an Instagram and if he could follow it and also asked if I would rate him five stars I told him that I didn't have an Instagram and I just got out of the car and kept walking up the street past my house until he drove away I don't know what this guy's problem was but man he gave off some Really creepy and weird vibes [Music] I'm 28 years old but when I was about 5 years old my mom and I lived in this duplex that was off a
main road and kind of in a bit of a wooded area we lived on one side and on the other was a woman and her son there he was studying to be a teacher I think my mother had me young so she was about 25 and this guy was in his early 20s he would often come and talk to my mom and my mother said that He would ask a lot of questions about me and ask my mother if it would be all right for him to take me for walks in the woods obviously my
mother always declined my mother worked in the operating room at the local hospital and was on call a lot so most weekends I just stayed at my grandma's house anyway but one night while I was at my grandma's house my mom was Home Alone sleeping and she woke up in the middle of the night and said that she doesn't Remember if she heard something or felt someone in the room but she woke up and she could see feet wearing socks box sticking out from the end of her bed she grabbed her bedside lamp and was
about to hit the Intruder when our neighbor yelled her name and said his name and he couldn't explain why he was naked and only wearing socks but he begged my mother to not tell his mother about it my mother of course called the cops she ended up going to court and making a Victim impact statement against this guy because she was terrified that he'd become a teacher and be around children and she says that she's pretty sure that he was there for me that night and is so happy that I wasn't actually there and we
ended up moving immediately after this because she just couldn't stay another night in that [Music] house so I've lived in a small town in Kentucky for pretty much my entire life And because of that I've been surrounded by the mountains and the woods for years my current house has literally nestled into the woods in the middle of nowhere and thus outdoor activities have taken up a huge chunk of my time especially in the summer and the fall I'm in the woods almost daily hiking to The Creeks to fish or Meadows to hunt and I know
the woods and trails around my home like the back of my hand that said there is definitely something that calls to you While you're in those woods especially when you're alone and I've just now realized it after stumbling upon some of these stories before I would always just brush it off but nowadays it's really hard for me to ignore it so my parents began allowing me to hike alone when I was around 13 but I didn't really get into it until about 2 years later when I was 15 even then though I wasn't allowed to
go very far and I always had to carry a Walkie-talkie with me so I could contact my family if necessary later at 17 I'd be allowed to carry a handgun with me but that's neither here or there there's some stories that I could tell at that age too but this one takes place when I was 15 before I get into it though I should mention that I have two outside dogs Max a black lab and B a beagle I've had both since I was very young and they're super smart dogs always staying by my side
When I'm in the woods too and they always listen to me until this day that is so I was hiking a trail that runs up beyond my aunt house one that I'd hike day in and day out just kind of out and about enjoying the woods it was in October so the weather was cool not hot and I'd been hiking for around an hour at this point the trail comes out at a spring that runs down from the top of this particular Mountain it hadn't rained lately so the spring was mostly Dry and covered in
leaves I remember looking up the mountain which might never hiked to the top of before and just feeling the strange call it wasn't really a voice but it was it was just kind of a an urge that I couldn't ignore keep in mind too that I'm a very timid person and hiking on familiar Trails on my own freaks me out even to this day but that day all my fear just had dissipated for some reason the only way I can really describe it is That all thought of danger just left my head and I just
climbed Higher and Higher and my dogs followed me I don't even know how to describe the feeling that came over me but I remember just staring down at my feet and feeling a a peace as I climbed there was a moment when I paused to look out at the houses below I'd never been that high up before I remembered and I felt amazed I took a picture on my phone and then I looked around for my dogs and B had already run Off and Max was following I called to them frantically to stop but they
just didn't listen they disappeared and at this point looking down the mountain side I just suddenly became very afraid then I looked back uphill and it just came over me again and I kept hiking I couldn't stop and eventually I heard my walkie-talkie crackle everything was distorted and I couldn't make out any of the words I assume now that I was just out of range For it to pick up but back then it really freaked me out whatever had come over me lost its hold of my mind though and my dogs were still gone panicked
I began run running downhill it's a wonder I didn't get hurt I was running that quickly as I KN the wide section of the spring near the bottom my walkie talk you picked up and I heard my dogs running downhill behind me I got home eventually and I mostly just forgot about it I just told myself That I'd almost been lost and to just be more careful but Flash Forward many years to now though and I still hike I commented a short version of this second story in another place but I'll add it here too
so at this point Max is very old and no longer hikes with me so it's just me and B last year I hiked up to a cave behind my house as I've done a million times before and then I started following a trail that I'd never fully explored just Kind of out of curiosity B was ahead of me per usual but when I called her back she came we hiked for the better part of 45 minutes following a pretty simple Trail and then I figured I'd better be heading back because it was beginning to get
dark and yet I just couldn't stop I kept telling myself that I'd just go a little bit further see just a little bit more and I remember looking back down at my feet just like before and listening to The Silence of the woods around me And just feeling that same peace again it felt so easy to just keep going deeper and deeper and so difficult to just turn around Bo must have felt the call too because even after I did break out of it and turned around only after stumbling on a route and then called
back to her she just wouldn't stop I had to actually catch up with her and physically turn her around and put her before me so that she would follow me again now I don't really know what the Heck is going on out in those woods but it's been on my mind a lot lately I mean what if I hadn't actually stumbled on that route or what if my mom hadn't decided to contact me on that static radio at that moment how deep would I have actually hiked and what was waiting for me in those depths
I don't know what's out there but I know this those woods they call to [Music] us this happened about 10 or years ago But I remember it like it was yesterday so I lived with my boyfriend back then in a single story terraced house at the front of this house is facing a small field and Beyond the field there's a forest and our room is adjacent to the front door and so we have a window in our room which faces the field in the forest in our room our bed is placed beside the window in
a way that the field in the forest is to our left side now one night we're sleeping Soundly when I suddenly was just jolted awake for no reason at all usually when you jolted awake suddenly in the middle of your sleep you feel kind of confused and groggy and fall right back to sleep and probably don't remember that you woke up at all but when I was jolted awake that night I remember very clearly that I was wide awake straight away and I'm really alert of my surroundings and remember finding it very strange why I
suddenly was just so awake and I glanced At the clock remembering the time was 3:00 a.m. 3:00 a.m. in the dot in fact and my boyfriend is still sleeping soundly beside me then as my lie back down to try to go back to sleep is when I heard this loud Eerie unearthly screeching woman voice coming from the forest or the field or somewhere in that direction I can't really explain how it sounds like but it was very very unsettling unlike anything that I've ever heard before in my life it started From the field my left
side and continued on coming nearer towards her house but then the strangest thing happens it goes over our house and then slowly faded away as it goes further away it's my right side in a second after the screeching voice stopped all of the dogs in our neighborhood just started howling at the same time I was frozen In Fear And my mind just couldn't comprehend what the hell I just heard and eventually I just Kind of laid there and kind of fell back to sleep my boyfriend never awoke from the sound and the next morning I
asked him if he actually heard anything strange during the night and he said no and that he slept soundly throughout the night until now I really can't explain what I heard that night but the fact that the dog started howling at the same time makes me confident that I actually heard something which is really creepy Also for the people who were going to say inevitably that it was a fox it's definitely not because I'm from Malaysia and we don't have foxes here it was definitely not a mountain line too and also when I mentioned Forest
it's more like a small wooded area it's a bit of a bad description but it's the best that I can think of but beyond the wooded area are even more houses so this wooded area is actually kind of surrounded by houses I actually live in a city and what I Heard sounded nothing like all the videos that people have sent me before whatever it was it was screeching for a good 5 to 8 seconds just nonstop and very clearly too because the sound in the air just flew right over my roof above my head so
I'm a light sleeper and the softest noises will have me up and awake my girlfriend experiencing her second nightmare of the night was softly moaning so I turned over in my bed to Gently wake her up but that's when I noticed her standing by the window that is set up near her side of the bed facing a mirror that is on the adjacent wall I couldn't make out any particular features besides her very distinguishable messy bun that she had worn to bed as it was pretty dark in my room and there was not a lot
of light shining through the closed blinds of the window but I realized that something was still very off as I would have Definitely noticed if she would have gotten out of bed I stared at what I thought to be my girlfriend and it didn't move or make any sounds but I could still hear the sounds of my girlfriend having a nightmare and suddenly realized that she was actually right next to me laying in the bed at that very terrifying realization I said what the hell and quickly reached to turn my lamp on but as soon
as the light came on the figure just vanished So I turned my focus to my girlfriend who was just waking up from her night here calming her down and explaining what I had just saw and now we're awake just searching the internet and trying to think of a rational explanation besides sleep paralysis because I was definitely awake at the time that I spotted the figure my girlfriend is joking that we need a blessing of the house because yes it's haunted we've both experienced strange things Happening since I moved into this house last year but it
was built in 2006 so it's not that old also a few months ago she despite being a very rational individual also heard male voices laughing whispering and thumping sounds coming outside of my kitchen window when I was away on a business trip and almost called the cops that day despite me having a state-of-the out security system and there being no sign of anyone being in the house with her besides my Dog who was asleep at her feet I've also experienced finding doors open in my home that I know for an absolute fact that I had
shut before my house just doesn't feel organized unless all the doors are shut so this was pretty unsettling to me my fire alarm went off as well one beep despite there being no fire and having new batteries I don't know do you guys have any ideas about what might be going on We're both mind and Believers of the Paranormal but wanted to find a rational explanation as to what these experiences were and especially curious as to what the figure by my window could have been does this mean that I have two girlfriends now I'm actually
going to a church tomorrow too and I'm going to ask a priest if they can bless my house I hung across next to my window too where I saw standing but thinking more and more about everything my dog was Actually rning most of that night my girlfriend's puppy is still in training so we have her puppy in a crate and my dog was sleeping in the hallway oh and um when I drive home from dinner I remember that I had two other experiences like this when I was a little kid a brief overview but I
woke up in the middle of the night and got out of bed to use the bathroom I stopped in my doorway and looked to my left and my sister was in a doorway and my dad Came sprinting around the corner I got pushed back into my room by this thing and I saw it run downstairs a few months after that I was visiting family in Ohio and we went for a walk I was just kind of straggling behind and I looked over my shoulder and on the top of the hill I saw the same thing
it had the silouette of a human but there was just absolutely no color to it like it was completely solid black and last night was the first time that I've seen this thing since I was a kid my mom's side of the family used to have a small cabin in the woods in the Bono mountains surrounded by trees but it wasn't like a fancy cabin or anything with a hot tub more like um a very small hunting cabin built by my like grandfather and my uncles's as well we had had a small porch with a
picnic bench a gravel lot to park in and they're maybe 15 ft away a nice size fire up here with a bench and a few logs Around it the driveway was a very long drive up the side of a mountain off a very secluded Highway the house was small but the land they owned was pretty big we had a neighbor too but he was maybe half a mile away maybe a bit closer I'm not too sure but we couldn't see them through the woods and rarely heard them except for maybe some gunshots during hunting season
you could hear the occasional car on the highway but otherwise the house was just kind of In the middle of nowhere so we used to always spend time up there when we were younger with all of our cousins however just me and my family would go up every once in a while in the summer too we would go hiking and visit the local amusement park and have big bonfires and roast marshmallows and cook burgers and at night we would walk further down the driveway towards the highway where the trees weren't as close together so we
could see the stars and Without all that light pollution you could seriously see just about everything and all in all it was just a great time anyway so one summer when I was maybe 13 our family of five took a trip up there my family being me my two older sisters my mom and my dad I used to be still am afraid of the dark and especially the woods and especially the woods in the dark so I would really only go outside if one of my siblings or parents were with me Which they usually were
now one night we light the bonfire and we're talking and ing marshmallows and enjoying the summer night I was pretty tired from whatever we had done earlier in the day so I decided to join my mom inside of the couch I ended up falling asleep in the living room I woke up I can only assume a few hours later upset that I fell asleep and missed the rest of the fire I pulled aside the curtains to check if anyone was still outside from the window I can see the fire pit clearly still a blaze and
what I assume is my dad sitting on the bench by himself out there not wanting my dad had to be alone I decided that I would go and join him now I am not lying when I say that I sincerely hate the dark even though the fire pit wasn't terribly far that walk still felt long in the pitch black I don't know what possessed me to go outside without looking for any other members of my family or even checking The time but I opened the door and my step out onto the porch and called to
my dad to ask why he's still there the pit was maybe 15 20 ft away but he would have heard in the night for sure I can clearly see the fire pit and I can clearly see my dad even though he was sitting on the bench on the opposite side of the fire confused though I start to walk down the steps and then slowly towards the fire pit asking my dad why he wasn't Responding as I get closer and as I keep calling for him I realized that while I should be hearing the Roar of
the fire there's just absolute and complete ringing silence and then I noticed that there's no one sitting on the bench anymore at this point I'm only a few feet away from the fire in the bench but my blood immediately turned ice cold and I whipped around and sprinted back up to the house not daring to stop or look Behind me I locked the door and ran into my dad's bedroom only to find him under his blankets asleep I didn't want to wake him up to let him know how stupid I was but I just crawled
under the covers beside him and I prayed to just fall asleep the next morning I told my parents what happened my mom keeps telling me that it was just a dream but I woke up from a dream on the couch right before and then went outside when This all happened I used to have the same reoccurring dream every time that we went up to that cabin and I would only have that dream when I was at the cabin I specifically remember having this very same dream again and then waking up on the couch this same
creepy dream is the same reason I always slept next to my dad anytime we stayed at the mountains too I never felt safe sleeping by myself that meant that my mom would Share a bed with my older sister but they both snored so it was fine but my dad tells me that it's just not possible because he always deadbolts the door before he goes to sleep there was no way that I would have been able to push the dead bolt open without waking him up and two because he always puts the fire out before bed
as well basic fire safety which I get all I know is that I know what I saw and I know that it wasn't a dream and all I Can hope for is that you guys also don't think that's I'm crazy I always wonder how close I was to getting murdered that day my ex-boyfriend and I used to be co-workers yeah I know and every day after work we go to this empty parking lot 15 minutes away from work to have a smoke before he dropped me home but we were pretty young so we didn't really
have a lot of other places to hang out well we were standing outside and leaning on the driver side Of the car it was pretty dark out and the plaza light sort of faded away so you couldn't see beyond a certain point we started to get lost in our conversation and weren't paying attention to our surroundings we came here every day and nothing unusual happen in the past but as we're talking we noticed a guy coming out of the dark and he was walking or jogging pretty fast and before we had a chance to react
he was already pretty Close to us and he was dressed in oversized clothes and had a backpack I'll call him ex so everyone was silent at first my ex and I were pretty much Frozen and were already thinking of a plan to escape in case anything happen we didn't want to make any sudden movements but my ex secretly slipped me the keys to his car assuming that he wanted me to casually walk to the passenger side and get in the driver's seat so that we could leave ASAP as soon as I tried to move though
X said please stay where you are he seemed emotional he seemed kind of frantic and it was a mix between anxious impulsive and kind of confident he asked can I borrow one of your phones my ex and I both said that we don't have our phones I said that I hadn't paid my bill so mine isn't functional he said while almost hearing up you expect me to believe both of you don't don't have a phone this is the Type of crap I'm talking about I hate being lied to then he really started breaking down he
said I just did the most [ __ ] up thing you don't know what I've just been through we honestly thought that he was on drugs or something but he started crying and he's like I just had to kill my own best friend my brother then he said I'm going to ask again do you have a phone I said that I had a phone but it's not working which was the truth because I paid my Bill late he was like don't make me do this and I really don't want to then he reaches for his
backpack and that's when both me and my ex realized that this might be our last day on Earth but ex said one thing that sparked something in my ex and he said I'm a [ __ ] up person God's never going to forgive me my ex wasn't religious but he came from a Catholic Family he started talking trying to calm this guy down it was was almost like a a hostage negotiation or Something and my ex was like remember God man you can always repent and be forgiven God or forgive you and this guy just
started crying and dropped to his knees and dropped his B I took this chance to run to the passenger side get in the driver's seat reverse and flung the passenger door open for my ex and we just drove off as fast as we could on the way home we were obviously shaken kind of in disbelief I called the police and explained the Situation the police called up to us and asked us for his description and they said that he just received a call about someone with a similar description but didn't tell us the reason to
this day I'm really not sure if he was actually telling the truth or if he was on drugs or what was in his bag my life definitely flashed for a moment but we searched the news every day for a month for a similar incident and we didn't find one about a man shot And injured in that area on the exact same date as the incident so we can never really be sure I suppose and I guess I I never really want to find out [Music] anyway this story takes place during the summer when I was
15 it's a true story about um a small encounter that I had so I was living with my dad and my stepmother at the time I remember my stepmother throwing a royal fit about Buying me new school clothes because I'd let a few pairs of pants get holes in them and still wore them it was my first year of going into high school and I wasn't about to let her spoil that for me so I went to stay with my grandparents for the summer to earn some money they live in a remote small area that
was once home to Native American tribes it's very secluded despite being a mile or so from the highway and it's all Lush gorgeous Forest my grandpa had Built his own three-story house there too and my shop as well where he cut and assembled Cedar into roofing products and that was where I came in hauling heavy chunks of Cedar to his van stacking nailing cinching up shake and shingle into bundles to be sold and I made good money while there and was able to buy pretty much an entire new wardrobe in fact but as summer was
coming to an end and it was just too hot to work I decided to take a walk one day Now let me say that I spent my childhood roaming these Woods armed with my grandparents two dogs and we ran and played and napped all day and I had never seen anything out of the ordinary or gotten any sort of weird Vibes but I waited until it was a bit cooler in the evening and I started out walking a little path that would take me to an old unused Logging Road and I had tread this same
path so many times that I wasn't even paying attention until I just all Of a sudden felt like I was being watched I would like to note here too that I was young at the time I had yet to touch any drugs or alcohol and I had no history of hallucination or mental illness or anything along those lines but what I saw it still haunts me to this day because there he was standing naked in the middle of my path looking down at me with a blank expression he was tall maybe 7 ft much taller
than my 5 foot nothing he had long long matted Black and gray hair and there were toughs of it growing from the sides of his arms and legs as well there were no genitals only smooth flesh where they should be and his skin it was such a sickly pale yellow and looked to be just too big for stature and hung in some spots we made eye contact and his yellow orbs felt like they were staring right into my soul I couldn't move or think and everything had gone silent around me and the next 10 or
so seconds of my life Just seemed to really stretch out but we just stood there looking at one another before for he swiftly turned and just walked back into the trees but the foliage went undisturbed as he kind of melted through it and disappeared I honestly expected him to charge at me or at least be intimidating but he just turned and left and I haven't seen him since either nor am I too enthusiastic to go out looking that's for Sure I remember telling my grandmar about it but she told me that it was probably just
some drug addict as the area that she lives in has a very high number of users and manufacturers of myth INF fetamines I've told this story in a thread somewhere before but I've never really gone out of my way to share it particularly because I know it sounds a bit made up I've tried looking into Native American folklore especially the local stuff but I haven't found anything Matching that description if you actually listen to this all the way through though thank you I appreciate the thought that somebody else out there knows about it now and
if you have any ideas about what this particular thing might have been please let me know because I would love to hear your thoughts I uh I really can't find a reasonable explanation for what happened that night it was just a strange and Really alarming experience it all happened a few months ago my friend had heard that the Northern Lights might be visible in our area and asked if I wanted to go for a drive and to the country to see if we could catch a glimpse so we headed out after dark and we drove
for a few hours just searching for a good Vantage Point basically but after a while we started to give up on seeing the lights my friend realized though that we were Close to her hometown and noted that she'd been waiting to visit the local Cemetery to find the graves of some of her distant relatives she had recently been researching in genealogy and whatnot it was a clear and warm night and we were both a little bit disappointed that we hadn't seen the lights yet we both wanted to make the trip worthwhile so we agreed to
swing by the cemetery but we found the graves took some photos and just wandered Around for a little bit my friend was leading the way using the flashlight on her phone to light the path and ensure that we didn't accidentally step on any of the graves I'd been feeling increasingly anxious since we arrived which struck me as odd I've done several Cemetery projects as an archaeologist and don't normally feel nervous in cemeteries even at night in fact I usually find that cemeteries are pretty peaceful and calming but I just felt Really strange in that cemetery
and found myself frequently spinning around because I just felt like someone was standing behind me still I just chalked it up to general anxiety and tried to not dwell on it one of the many problems with having anxiety disorder is that it's sometimes hard to tell when your nervousness is Justified even in retrospect I don't know if my anxiety was just in my head or if it was related to what would Happen next but after wandering for a while we realized that it was approaching 1:00 a.m. and that we should probably get back home we
headed toward the car the car was in sight and my friend was a few yards ahead of me when it happened I just suddenly got that nervous feeling again and thought that I had heard someone running up behind me I was starting to turn my head to look back when I felt something collide with my back right between my shoulder blades There was a weight behind it as if someone had actually hurdled into me the impact was so forceful that I was thrown forward and felt flat on my face and as I scrambled to get
back up I felt the weight hitting me in the shoulders again and was shoved back down I glanced up to see my friend running toward me as she had also heard someone running up to us had heard my initial fall and had turned just in time to see me being pushed back down she would later tell me that she Had seen my hoodie flattening against my back and shifting as if someone had been pressing their hands against my shoulders she grabbed my arm to pull me up just as the weight disappeared and we both just
bolted for the car jumping in and instinctively locking all the doors she wasted no time too starting the engine and then hastily just peeling out of the driveway and as soon as we hit the road we just sped away from there we drove several minutes just kind of not Saying a word I think we were both just kind of stunned and more than anything really confused she finally glanced at me and said what the hell just happened and I didn't know quite how to answer that I told her that someone had shoved me to the
ground and she said I know I saw but what was that there was nothing there we tried to come up with some sort of a rational explanation but none of them made any sense had someone ambushed me and then bolted and definitely not But we would have seen them for sure had tripped no I definitely felt something pushing me and my friend had seen me being shoved back down as well had it been the wind uh not possible there hadn't been so much as a breeze that night perhaps an animal had attacked me but that
didn't seem possible either I mean there were no local animals large enough strong enough and stealthy enough to topple a full grown human without being seen like that plus I had been in Full view of my friend illuminated by a flashlight light during the second fall and the weight had remained on my shoulders even as she was coming right up to me she should have been able to see whatever had been pushing me but there was just nothing there in the end we just couldn't explain it but whatever had pushed me twice it hadn't been
visible to us as the adrenaline faded I noticed something else as well my back really hurt right Between my shoulder blades right where I had felt the impact I could feel a sort of stinging or prickling sensation it felt like my back had been brushed with stinging nettles I mentioned this to my friend and she insisted on pulling over to look at my back she switched the hood light on and pulled the collar of my hoodie down to take a look and I heard her mutter what the hell the skin between my shoulder blades was
rened and several little blisters had started to Appear as well but they later swelled up and popped and it was as if I'd gotten sunburn or a chemical burn there weren't any scratches or cuts it was a relatively subtle Mark but it was still clearly there and we certainly couldn't figure out how I gotten burned like that I hadn't rubbed up against anything I hadn't touched my back I'd been wearing my hoodie all night and there were no tears or marks in the fabric and man did it hurt it continued to stink for Several days
in fact and it was a really uncomfortable in fact I couldn't even sleep that night my back hurt and every time I started to drift off I'd suddenly sense that someone was standing over my shoulder and I would start awake I couldn't really understand what had happened at the cemetery but it truly rattled me I don't know if I believe in things like ghosts or demons to be honest but I know that something truly bizarre and frightening happened that Night and my inability to explain it to account for every strange little detail was deeply disturbing
to me it's been really difficult to Grapple with this I mean I already have PTS from a previous assault and there is something profoundly unsettling about the fact that in this instance there's nothing that I could have done to defend myself and with no clear explanation for it there's no way for me to prevent something like this from happening Again I've had several nightmares since then as well dreams that are similar to the nightmares that I'd had for years when I was growing up I don't know where they came from but for as long as
I can remember I've had dreams in which a creature is attempting to lure me in one way or another and in the dreams I usually understand this creature to be a devil or a demon sometimes it takes the form of an old woman I had a dream when I was about 13 years old in which I was Wandering through a forest and I came across a little cottage with this old woman standing by the porch she beckoned me inside and I acquiesced and we spent some time casually talking and baking cookies but I just felt
uneasy around her and got the sense that she wanted something from me at one point I glanced out the window and I noticed a group of people just standing in the yard calling out to the old woman I asked who these people were and I vividly remember what She told me they want me to take them in but I don't want them I want you in other dreams it's had a more Sinister appearance but I always recognize it as the same creature I sometimes have dreams in which it's sitting in the dark at my bedside
whispering to me it has a shadowy appearance with long length Limbs and empty eye sockets its teeth are made of razor wire or something and there's something like blood or wine gleaming on Its lips in those dreams I can hear it whispering but I can't exactly understand what it's saying sometimes I have dreams of the same creature sitting in a chair in the corner of my room eating a rotten apple I have long suspected that this creature is some sort of a manifestation of my deepest and most troubling fears and I know that these are
just dreams but I mention it because those dreams had subsided in my early 20s but The incident at the cemetery rattled me so much that they've kind of returned this whole experience seems to have shaken my understanding of the World Around Me opening the floodgates to my own inner demons in these new dreams the creature is standing upright behind me at the cemetery time seems to be slowing down I can see my friend Frozen ahead of me and the creature is Whispering at my back I I really don't know why my mind is conflating that
Dream creature with my encounter at the cemetery but the fear has increasingly kept me up at night anyway I just wanted to share this because I have no idea what the hell happened that night my friend believes that it was a ghost but I don't know I've just never personally experienced anything like this and I really don't know what to do about it but thanks for listening and hopefully soon I can figure this out My dad told me about this incident that happened in the early 50s when he was a young child I'm sharing it
here with how was relate to me so it was in the early 50s my dad couldn't have been much older than 5 or 6 years old when it happened he grew up on a large family farm that was fairly isolated the nearest neighborhood was at least a quar mile away through rolling wooded Hills there was no electric service on the Farm back then and they didn't get phones until the summer of 1984 so they were effectively on their own one day grandpa had sent my uncle to the feed mill to collect payment for that Year's
Harvest he was told to get it in cash Grandpa wanted to pay that year's taxes and then deposit the rest in the bank my uncle brought the money home and that night at around 2: a.m. they were awaken by a car parked on the property with its headlights aimed at the house Grandpa Rolled out of bed and crawled along the floor to my uncle and Dad's bedroom and woke my uncle up in almost complete darkness they ran down the stairs my uncle ran out the back door and Grandpa ran out of the front Grandpa threw
the front door open and ran outside so fast that he pretty much leapt over the back steps and went to confront the guy the driver of the car was already most of the way to the house he saw grandpa coming with my uncle close behind and he Turned and hauled us and Grandpa wasn't far behind he made it to his car and he was trying to drive away and Grandpa was grabbing the steering wheel trying to stop him but eventually he managed to break loose and Grandpa chased him a short distance down the road but
he finally got away at that point grandpa and my uncle noticed a second car at the end of the block speeding away as well The Intruders had managed to get away that Night but thankfully no one was hurt the next day grandpa and my uncle reported what had happened to the sheriff and the sheriff pretty much succinctly told them to buy some rifles because if it happens again do what you have to do to defend yourselves and the next stop they made was to the hardware store to buy said rifles one for each of my
uncles and one for my grandpa there was never a repeat of the incident as far as my dad knows and the Late night visitors were never [Music] caught this happened a few years ago when I was still living with my mom and I had borrowed a car to go see my boyfriend for the evening it was around midnight when I got back to my neighborhood so the roads were pretty much empty and that's when I noticed this dirty rundown rusted white utility van that my maintenance guy would drive following me I never saw the driver's
Face but I got this immediate sinking feeling in my stomach because something just felt wrong about this van now I was only 20 at the time but I knew better than to just drive straight to my house and letting this person know exactly where I live no matter how desperately I wanted to just go home and ignore it but I also wasn't 100% sure that they were actually following me yet I didn't want to jump to conclusions just because it was late and I was alone and being Paranoid and all that so I drove to
a shopping complex a few minutes out of the way that's well lit and has a public library to see if I was followed there I thought that I lost the van but decided to wait in the parking lot for a few minutes because I just had a bad feeling that I just couldn't shake sure enough the van showed up and was driving in just random circles around the parking lot looking for me by the looks of things that scared me quite a bit so I Drove towards the big mall here that's always got security or
police presence because it was the Midway point between where I was and where I liveed I parked in a very well lit although empty 24-hour McDonald's parking lot where I had a great view of the roads and the mall but I wasn't super easy to spot as well and I just waited to see if the man showed up looking for me and it did and of course this would be the one time Security in the cops nowhere to be Found which was half the reason I decided to head there in the first place realizing that
whoever was driving this van was 100% actively following me in the middle of the night I knew that driving home was not an option and that's a terrifying realization luckily the police station is just a few minutes away from where I was so I try and discreetly Drive Away hoping the van hasn't noticed me yet I wasn't that lucky because it wasn't long Before the van was back in my rearview mirror at this point I'm panicking pretty hard and my anxiety is really high I finally pulled into the police station parking lot and seconds later
the van came to a stop in the middle of the road for no more than a few seconds I'm guessing just long enough for them to realize where I led them and they just took off immediately pretty quickly as well I did make it home safe and without seeing the van again not long After but this whole ordeal took up at least an hour of my night it was after 1:00 a.m. by the time that I made it home and I was pretty much terrified the whole night uh I don't know what this guy's specific
intention was but honestly I don't need to know I know that it was nothing good and that I likely avoided a very bad situation if you think that someone is following you it's not stupid or paranoid to make sure that you aren't Right because who knows what might have happened if I had led them to my house or gotten out of my car [Music] so me and my friend Jacob go out biking in a forest near my house because it's pretty big and it has some nice Trails we'd been biking around for uh I'd say
about an hour when we realized that we were actually kind of lost so we stopped to try and figure out where we were at he was trying to map up on his phone When I noticed a house not too far off the trail my friend's phone wasn't having any luck with connecting so we decided to walk over to the house to check if someone could point us in the right direction we knocked on the door and honestly just like a horror movie and I know that's cliche but this is exactly what happened the door just
creaked open by itself well we walked in asking if anyone was there and then we realized that the place was Empty it was mostly furnished but it looked pretty old and the fridge was rancid my friend finds a staircase leading up to a floor and we decided to go up and check that part of the place out the second that I put my foot on that staircase I felt just nauseous I almost fell over because of just how bad I felt in fact and my friend helps me make it out of the place but I
collaps outside on the ground and I start vomiting just violently my friend is Trying to help me from falling into my vomit and once I was done I sat back up and I just tried to get some air and that was when my friend turned around and just mumbled holy crap dude I turned around at this and the entire house was gone like it wasn't even dirt and stuff that proved the house even existed I mean it looked like the house was never even there in the first place there was even a tree growing in
a spot where the corner of The place was I didn't know what to say so I just sat there just staring at the ground that was when I realized that I'd taken a picture of the place in my phones so I pulled that out trying to see if I'd actually taken a picture or not and it was just a picture of the ground just covered in dead leaves and grass we decided that moving was better than staying there and after probably half an hour or so we found our way back to the trails that we
knew I've got no Idea what the hell that was but I'm wondering has anyone else seen anything like this I can't be the only one right if you guys have had any similar experiences or know of any similar stories I would love to hear them so please let me know in the comments section below oh and uh I actually returned there not too long ago trying to get some pictures for you guys but after what happened when we tried going back to find the spot I honestly just Don't think that it's worth the risk anymore
this is because we went into the forest at maybe 11 or 11:20 is a.m. we looked about for what could have only been about 2 hours tops and we left because we were starting to get hungry he turns on his car and we both immediately noticed that the time read 5:00 p.m. which means that we were in there for roughly 6 hours and yet we barely felt it so since then me and my friend Have pretty much agreed to forget it ever happened in the first place and just St clear of that Forest entirely [Music]
at age 14 my parents sent me to a military school in Virginia for pretty much bad behavior Cadet stayed at the school throughout the school year except for a few weekends and holiday leaves and whatnot the school opened in 1898 and many buildings on the campus have been around for well over a 100 years Like the barracks that I slept in though several buildings throughout the years had burned down like one such occurrence when an Accidental Fire burned down the Delta company barracks in 1924 but the academic building was built around 1915 it was two
stories tall with the second floor being full of classrooms but my experience took place on the first floor which featured a handful of officers for facility offices a computer lab as well and a large room That had two large Swinging Doors it opened into a study hall meant to accommodate roughly 75 students at any given time but one aspect of my new life as a Cadet was called guard Duty and every day three Cadets were randomly selected to be on guard Duty the guards had to wake up an hour earlier than everyone else at 5:00
a.m. and he'd wake up get dressed in uniform and meet the other two guards at the Academic Hall Once the guards got to the building they Were supposed to do a walk through on both floors to make sure nothing was out of place and just check that nobody was inside after the walk through you'd sit by the phone in the first floor hallway and take calls from anyone happening to call in so I had been at the boarding school for a few months when I was assigned my first guard Duty so the next morning I
woke up early and I got dressed as quietly as possible to avoid waking my Roommates it was pouring outside so I put on my rain jacket on top of my uniform and walked through the dark to the academic building usually guards would meet up outside the building but since it was raining hard I just decided to go inside by myself I waited inside the dark building for the other guyss to show up and after about 10 minutes I started to get worried because they still had not shown up and I was concerned that a facility
officer might Come early and see that I had not done my job so I walked up the stairs and checked every classroom and also the creepy bathroom that looked like it hadn't been updated since the 1940s and nothing was out of place so I made my way downstairs to check the officers the study hall and other rooms I thoroughly opened every door and walked through every room once again nothing was out of place and no one was inside in fact everything seemed pretty Much in order in the dark building and so I sat down in
the hallway next to the phone but after a few minutes I felt the weirdest sensation the building had begun to kind of shake softly I could feel the vibrations in my body and see the small table next to me shake ever so much I sat there completely frightened by whatever was occurring in front of my eyes but the rumbling abruptly stopped a few moments later and I took a big sigh of Relief but then I started hearing noises from the study hall room the doors to which were only 10 ft away from me it started
off just barely legible and I couldn't tell what I was hearing from that room though it seemed like it was getting louder and soon I started to hear what sounded like Whispering it kept getting louder and louder until I could hear what sounded like dozens and dozens of of voices inside the room and after a few moments I could actually hear what they were saying but it was as if many conversations were taking place all at once in a kind of chaotic sense and I could hear laughter and comments like pass me the answers to
the math homework and stuff like that this was a room that I'd just been in a short while ago and there was no other entrance into it other than The Swinging Doors that I was sitting right next to it had been completely empty short of all the desks And items throughout the room but now I was hearing what I can only describe as a room full of voices I sat there paralyzed with fear while hearing all of this and then I began to also hear a tapping noise coming from around the room it sounded almost
as if someone was hitting a ruler against a desk the tapping sound began to move around the room while all the other voices continued when suddenly the tapping stopped but what was so much Worse was that I heard something scream sit down and shut up it's study time it was incredibly loud and unmistakably like an instructor was in there screaming at a a room full of cadets as soon as whoever or whatever finished screaming the study hall fell completely silent I sat in my chair wanting to bolt out of the building but I was honestly
just too scared to move plus I'd have to pass by the doorway to the study hall and actually get out of the building but My heart was pounding in my chest and I was breathing incredibly hard I was terrified that whatever was in that room would realize that I was there and then the building softly began to shake again almost as if whatever was taking place was coming to an end a few minutes passed as I sat there in my chair in silence I couldn't hear anything anymore coming from the study hall and I began
to feel slightly better about the circumstances no I still had not built Up the nerve to actually make a run for it yet but then building started to shake again and I could hear the ruler tapping noise start up again in the room and this time it was clear that it was making its way to the door that led to me it was moving fast and growing louder it had almost gotten to The Swinging Doors when I sprang up without thinking and my survival instincts kicked in and I sprinted out of the building as fast
as I had ever run before now out side I Made my way through the dark back to my barracks and just as I was getting near the barracks one of the guards was sleepily walking out of the barracks and the other students were all still fast asleep I calmed my nerves and I walked up to him he hadn't seen me running in the rain yet and for some reason I didn't tell him what I had experienced I walked with him back to the academic building as he explained how he had overslept and we walked Inside
he made a beine to the study hall room open The Swinging Door doors walked in and tossed his backpack onto his assigned desk I followed him inside apprehensively and when I got in the room was still [Music] empty so to start off this is a collection of stories from my old house that I lived in my entire life up until 3 years ago there was a lot that happened to me and my family in the House but these are the ones that I could think of off the top of my head so before I begin
let me explain how my bedroom is set up and give some backstory of my family my parents used to be paranormal investigators and were a part of a ghost hunting team in Arizona they had many cases but actually stopped when they dealt with something so bad that it' really mess them up and so the Paranormal really isn't anything new to us growing up I believed in ghost Because of what I'd seen and Lear learned but now that I'm an adult I'm sort of skeptical about everything though I have had a lot of stuff happen to
me that I really can't explain logically so yeah this is one of those stories to explain my house my bedroom was upstairs attached to my bedroom was a Jack and Jill bathroom connected to my sister's bedroom both doors locked from inside of the bathroom and one night my younger sister and I were sitting in my Bedroom I had a bunk bed set up so that the bottom was a desk and my I would sleep at the top at this time I was on the top bunk just playing on my phone and my little sister was
at the desk drawing at some point though we started to hear the bathroom doorknob move as if someone was trying to open it but it couldn't because it was locked I told my little sister to go and open it because whoever was on the other side was stupid because it locks from that side she goes Over and tells me that the door is locked and before she got over to the door it just stopped moving we just kind of shrugged it off thinking that it might have been our older sister messing with us and we
went back to doing whatever it was that we were doing after a while we decided to head back downstairs I turn off my lights and I come down off my bunk bed we started heading down the hallway and I could hear my parents fighting and so I told My little sister that I'd join her down there in a minute because to be honest I didn't want to deal with my parents so I went over to my Elder sister's bedroom assuming she was in there because all of the lights were on from what I could see
under a door me as I approached a door I started to hear what sounded like a a scrubbing noise honestly the best way I could describe it is like someone was going to town on deep cleaning my bathtub I thought it was weird since my Sister literally doesn't clean anything especially not our bathtub I originally went to open a door and it was locked so I knocked on the door and waited and nothing I then banged on the door thinking that she probably just couldn't hear me because of the loud noise coming from the bathroom
and I shouted kin open up why are you scrubbing something at like 8:00 p.m. and I again heard no Reply after a few more bangs in the door I started to get annoyed that's when the scrubbing sound stopped thinking that she was finally coming I waited by the door when suddenly the door just started shaking as if someone on the other side was scratching at it with both hands and it was the same noise that I could hear in the bathroom I could tell that it was shaking too because I could see the light peeking
through the openings every time the door was hit at first I assumed Maybe one of the dogs got locked in there on accident but then I thought my sister was probably just messing with me so I banged on the door and yelled something like stop messing around and let me in the noise continued for maybe a second and it's when I banged on the door once more and suddenly everything just stopped a few seconds of silence and there was a loud bang on the door in response I thought at this point okay Screw this and
slowly backed away I yelled to my mom who was downstairs and said mom is kin in her room and she replied no she's in the garage with the chickens we had moved our chickens to the garage because it was too cold out for them and we felt that chicken cebe just wasn't good enough to keep them warm I then ran downstairs as fast as I could and asked are you sure and she said I don't know go look so I did I opened the door and there she was Sitting on the couch with one of
our chickens I then explained to her everything that happened and she was just as confused as me so we decided to head up together to check it out I told her the door was locked so she was going to push it open her door kind of sucked so with enough Force she could open it even when locked she went to push her door open and nearly fell into the room because suddenly her door was just unlocked again all her lights were on The closet and the bathroom doors wide open we kind of just stood there
for a moment and wondered what the hell happened and at that moment we heard the scraping noise in the bathroom and we both just ran out and downstairs so fast that my sister slipped and ran into the table because my mom was mobbing so in the end we not really sure whated happened but it never happened again after that the next story to give some backstory again and you can believe It or not but my sister has always been sensitive to the Paranormal ever since she was a baby in fact because growing up she'd tell
my parents that she had a family friend who passed away or she would play with our great grandma Jesse who passed away when we were babies even as a teenager she would tell us about figures that she would see and stuff like that and anyway the story story goes like this my sister comes into my room at night at about 30 minutes after I took a shower she' come in to yell at me all my lights were off so she comes in yells at me and goes back into her room and she had heard me
laughing from downstairs and yell down the stairs for me I replied and she asked me how long I'd been down there and I told her about 30 minutes and then asked why she just went silent and said never mind but I knew knew that something was up she didn't tell me for a few days even though I kept pressing her about it And eventually she told me that when she came into my room to yell at me she saw a figure clear as day laying on my bunk bed the figure even turned around to look
at her as if it was looking over its shoulder while laying on its side she told me that she didn't want to freak me out because I told her that sometimes when I sleep on my bed I feel like there's something there with me on the top bunk and after that I had sleeping problems and it really creeped Me out I hated that room and I hated sleeping in that room and it just gave me a bad Vibe every time I would go in there and so that really just turned me off from wanting to
sleep in there I 100% believe my sister too because of the fact that she was so freaked out she didn't tell me for a few days I had a lot of things happen to me in this house and I'm really glad that I don't live there anymore now the next one is a little bit stupid but it was a big deal To me at the time and I think it adds to the context so the story starts like this when I was around 16 or 17 I had a bedroom and in my bedroom was a
dresser my bunk bed closet and bathroom and I had a bunch of tack sitting on my dresser and the plastic case that I came in at one time I walked into my bedroom about to head into my bathroom and the TXS were just all over the floor I was like damn it who knocked this [ __ ] onto The floor again and didn't bother to pick it up I went to my sister's room our bedrooms were connected with the Jack and Jill bathroom remember and I thought that maybe she knocked it over while going into
her bedroom since my dresser was right next to my bathroom so I went in and I asked her and she said that she hadn't gone into my room all day I was like whatever she's lying because I sure didn't knock it over but a few days pass and the same thing Happens again a few days later and the same thing I come in and the taxs are just all over my floor again annoyed I picked them up and put them into a little glass box that I had so that they wouldn't fall off my dresser
again the next day I come in and my Texs are on the floor again I was starting to get pissed off at this point because it just kept happening and I thought someone was messing with me I asked my sister and she swore that it wasn't her I asked my Mom and my dad and neither of them knew that I even had text in there so I put them back in the glass box and pushed them to the end of my dresser against the mirror but as you've probably ascertained by now it just kept happening
at first it was every few days but then it was like once a day and eventually it happened twice a day my whole family knew about it too because I just complained about it so much we Jokingly named it the TAC ghost and I've called it that ever since eventually I kind of got used to it so when I'd come in I'd sort of just sigh and outwardly say are you kidding me again don't you have something better to do my family kind of made fun of it and didn't really believe me too much and
I was getting pretty mad and I wanted to test something so I put my tax into the glass box once more and I placed a candle on top of it the next day I came home from School and guess what taxer all over my bedroom floor not just in a pile in front of my dresser and the damn candle is straight across the room with the lid off I kind of freaked out over this and I told everyone and they were like well then take them out of the room but I was determined to prove
to them that I wasn't just making it up so Christmas comes around and I had a friend who was living with us at the time and told him that we were going to test this stuff Out so he would see that I wasn't lying after opening presents and cards I bring all my stuff upstairs and he comes with me I play some of the heavier items on my dresser and I put my cards and money on top of the pile I outwardly said don't touch my money to The Ghost and then I looked at my
friend and I said we'll come back later and see if anything happens a few hours pass and we go upstairs to check and nothing had Happened after a little while I honestly thought that maybe nothing was going to actually happen until my friend and I go upstairs to check and my money is across the room on the floor now the air wasn't on and the windows weren't open and there just wasn't any sort of wind that could have sent them that far across my room my friend and I screamed and ran downstairs and we told
everyone and I put the tax in a drawer on top of my dresser and after that it never happened Again so this will be the last story because I don't want this getting too long so at the time that this happen I was living with three out of five of my sisters it was my older sister Heather Ken and my younger sister Beverly like I said in the story above too my family has always kind of just been in touch with the Paranormal so a my older sister kin the one who was sensitive to the
Paranormal as well kept telling us that she felt That there was a ghost boy living in a closet we kind of just Shrugged it off and didn't really think too much about it because it was kind of normal for us that these types of things happened a few weird things happened around our house and in a room that we couldn't really really explained but they were all small and not worth going into detail about but one morning my sister woke up and we all talked about our dreams and my older sister Heather told Us that
she had a weird dream about an older woman coming to her and asking not to tell our parents that she was staying out of her house because she was scared or something and that was it that was the dream but at the same time my sister kin kind of just looked at her shocked and told us that she had Dre of a boy in her closet asking her if it was okay for her family to stay with us for a bit and asked her not to tell my parents that They were there because they didn't
want to be sent away we all were surprised and freaked out that they had the exact same dream but with different people we told their parents who said that they sort of felt bad that they felt scared and that they wouldn't send them away a long while passes and at this time my parents had a radio show and would interview a lot of people in the Paranormal field they would talk to Psychics and things like that and they made a lot of friends in the Paranormal field one day my parents are in this Skype call
with one of their paranormal sensitive Psychic Friends and asked my sister kaln to talk to her because she might relate to her and long story short this girl had told my sister about the family staying with us and told us that they had apparently passed on when we visited a church to celebrate one of my family members being baptized I'm not Religious but some people in my family are and my sister started boiling her eyes out because she was so shocked that this girl knew all of this and at this time she sort of felt
validated that a stranger was telling her and her parents too something that she had experienced this whole time and my parents were just as shocked because they hadn't even spoken about this to anyone but people within our house so to end the story we never heard Anything about the family again and I hope they're doing well wherever they are but but it was a trip let me tell [Music] you let me start this off by giving some background information about myself before I actually share my encounter so I'm a 24-year-old female that has spent a
majority of my life Outdoors camping and Hiking through wild terrain I've also been studying zoology and biology for the last 6 years and Have been in close proximity to bobcat M hunts protective Mama bears and even territorial elk I'm disclosing this because all of these experiences have been quite scary but I have never been more terrified than I was the night that I encountered an unknown entity in northern Arizona so in March of 2018 I decided to go on a back road drive with a friend of mine at about 2:00 a.m. that area is well
known for almost zero light Pollution which makes the sky almost mesmerizing in a clear night which that night was the area I was driving in was thick Pine Forest and I was on alert because of the large elk in the region after about an hour my friend and I made it to a paved Road leading back towards home the road was a t-shape and we were stopped at a stop sign taking a moment to update our playlist I'm about to shift out of park when I look about 30 Ft in front of me I'm facing
the pine tree line as my headlights are Illuminating and the tree the line sat along a small 5T Ridge that was parallel to the road that I was going to turn onto when I noticed what looked like a a door sized block straight out of my view that appeared to be warped sort of it looked like one of those portals in space movies but less intense and I could still see a distorted image through the forest behind the block I Could still see a distorted image of the forest behind the block I sat there for
a while before I told my friend that I thought that I was hallucinating to clarify too I was definitely not under the influence of any substance but I was definitely concerned and was about to suggest that they drive instead since my vision seemed to be impaired that is until they told me that I wasn't hallucinating because they were witnessing the same Thing without looking Away From the Block we both described the same exact image so at this point in time was actually freaked out we're pretty logical people I'd like to think and so we didn't
want to jump to any conclusions I mean there must be a rational answer right so of course we do what seen people do on a dark back road we put my car in park and we get out of the vehicle I know not smart we kept my headlights on as we crossed the road Heading towards the distorted block and we noticed that as we moved the portal wasn't moving from its original spot so it ruled out any kind of fumes possibly interfering as I reached the ridge that the portal sat on top of my friend
stopped he said that it didn't feel right and that he thought that we should go back to the car he's smarter than me at that point I was more intrigued than scared and I was already within 10 ft of this thing so Might as well finish the job I started walking up the 5 ft incline when I was filled with the most intense dread that I had ever experienced I could almost Reach Out And Touch the warp doorway when my foot softly planted itself directly in front of it and at that exact moment the most
horrendous noise erupted it honestly sounded almost as if someone had dropped a metal tank straight out of the air it was the loudest metallic crash that I Had ever heard in my life I was startled by the noise obviously and lost my footing and slipped down the Ridge and caught my footing right as I was next to my friend we both looked at each other in scared confusion when the night air filled with what sounded like three dozen coyotes calling each other I'll admit that it's pretty common for coyotes to call out in groups they're
kind of known for it but what's unusual about this specific situation was that The three dozen coyote house sounded like they were screeching in our ears it was so loud in fact that we had to cover our ears as we ran to the car I felt like I was about to be attacked by all of them and they were about to jump on me by how close the screams were as I was running back across the street I was looking around desperately for the coyotes to determine just how many there were but there was not
a single one in sight as soon as we slammed and locked The doors of the car the noise that was almost debilitating the moment before just completely went silent nothing not even a single peep I looked up as I was shifting into drive and saw that the Warped portal was now gone confirmed with my friend that he no longer saw it too and we just drove the hell out of there we got home in record time and we ran inside my home and pretty much discussed what happened until the sun came up now We both
encountered the same exact phenomena out there on that road we both saw the Warped Apparition and we heard the same noises we were both filled with a nauseating dread and my hysterical and what we had experienced we couldn't Solve IT logically and we were desperate for answers the next day when we started speaking with some friends who grew up in the local local Navajo reservation and when we shared the experience they Were all convinced that we had encountered a skin walker when I first heard the term I was sure that they were just kidding but
they truly believe in this and they grew up with warnings from their Elders so the fear that they have for this thing is real some would even walk with blessed Ash on their foreheads to discourage Skinwalker encounters a sort of protection charm if you will so I looked into other Skinwalker encounters And it's a real inconsistent mess of stories out there but I've come across a few that are eally similar to my own experience other people who don't think that I'm crazy have suggested that it's a possible Alien Encounter their reason being the metallic crash
that we heard I'm not as convinced with this possibility but I've definitely got an open mind and I mean who really knows what the hell happened but if you have any insights or questions or Redirections in these theories then please share them with me of course no one's really going to know for sure what I encountered but I know that whatever it was in that forest was nothing that I've ever studied or come across before and I knew that I was in the presence of something Supernatural or the like or at least something that was
very dangerous I know a lot of people who have had weird and unexplained things happened to them in the high desert Regions and now I know just why they don't go out alone any so I work at a church as an office admin I'm not a member or even a believer but it's a good job this often means that if the minister is out ministering I'm completely alone in a very large building usually I like to be able to work with nobody bothering me and my relish the days when nobody drops in or calls and
it was one of those quiet days and I needed to take a stack Of materials into the chapel we never have lights on unless we're just using a space and I usually don't bother turning them on for the chapel or anything I mean they are stained glass windows anyway so there's enough light to see and it's really pretty too with just the window light coming in so the area where I'm dropping off some printed materials is up a few steps on the raised area where the choir and the organ and the pulpit are I drop
the stuff I turn Around and I'm just about to walk back when I noticed something now this is a pretty old church with pretty massive wooden pews so if you're walking straight down the aisle you only see the backs of them sticking up and whatnot and you don't really see the seats or the ground between the pews but from up on the platform area there's enough of an area that I can see a coat lying on the floor between two rows of pews I'm not really surprised we have a lot of People forget stuff on
Sundays someone once forgot their teeth there that was a fun one to look for so I'm heading down the aisle looking down each row of the pews to find the one the jacket was laying under when I realized that it isn't actually a jack because there's a man lying on the floor now it's important to note that there are three aisles in this church the main Center one and two side ones I always use the side one closest to the Office out of habit it's dumb but I just feel silly walking down the white center
aisle of a church the aisles are carpeted and I wear black dressy sneakers to work and tend to walk quietly the man on the floor is facing the center aisle and I freeze and stare at him expecting him to sit up and say something but I realize that he hasn't noticed me yet he's kind of wiggling his feet not a lot just kind of rocking his shoes on the floor so I'm pretty sure That he's awake or at least alive and quite honestly I have no idea what to do I've got severe anxiety in cptsd
and I've long known my fight or flight response is freeze like a dumbass so I'm just staring at this guy on the floor trying to think of something to say I'm still not sure what I should have said I mean hello sir would you rather have a seat or something but as I'm thinking this the main doors to the church open I'd Literally forgotten that Paul one of the members of the congregation was coming in to do some painting work today he spots me Frozen in the chapel and comes in he pokes his head in
and hollers hey I'm going to start working out front Okay at me and as soon as Paul started talking the guy on the floor started craning his head around to see what was going on or to see who Paul was talking to I assume but of course this man has now spotted me and my stupid Brain still Has my jaw wired shut and my feet glued to the floor the man on the floor starts absolutely screaming I've honestly never heard a grown man full out scream like that and life it didn't sound scared or angry
to me he wasn't trying to make words out at all it was honestly just noise he scrambles to his feet though and starts running down the aisle to the door and slams into it he charges right out of the building right past Paul who just kind of stands aside and watches The man run off we just look at each other for a long minute before Paul comes over and asks if I'm okay and what that was all about I have no idea and I look down and the on the floor is Left Behind a backpack
me and Paul lock the outside doors and take it to the office I call the cops and they say that they'll send someone to collect a bag and look around the neighborhood but they don't sound really bothered Paul decides to look in the backpack and I Try telling him not to but I'm frankly curious as well inside the backpack is a Bible several disposable plastic spoons covered in foil an empty bag of hand sanitizer a roll of plastic wrap once sock and a pack of crayons the Bible it's one of ours and he's colored it
not like a child or how you'd think a crazy person would either it's not all scribbles all over and he didn't draw pictures or write in it or Circle things he has literally colored The words like going along one sentence at a Time coloring words or parts of words different colors it kind of looks like uh highlighting in different colors but with cray and with the sections of different colors changing randomly as well there's no blank gaps so all the pages he's gone through look like a series of rainbow stripes and it's actually really neatly
done he's gotten through the Old Testament up to the book of ether which Is about a third of the way through the whole Bible which means that he's been coloring for a very long time and this is what concerns me how long had he been in there to color that far or did he come in before and take a Bible with him and then come back and of course what was he doing laying on the floor and why did he run out screaming like that this happened months ago and the good news is that I
haven't seen him since but I am definitely uncomfortably Aware of just how vulnerable I am at work now [Music] I come from a big country family and we live on a farm we raise our own food and meet animals and we hunt in process and what not my dad's first cousin is even a licensed taxidermist so we get a lot of hunting in for a bit of backstory on the homestead that I grew up on and still live on it was my parents my Pop's first cousin and his wife me and my four Sisters and
my four female second cousins so four adults and nine kids with lucky me being the only boy and sometimes my Pop's brother comes to stay with us too especially when hunting season is starting up so hunting season deer is going on and my pops his brother Uncle K and the cousin that we live with Uncle V are all getting ready to go hunting some of us kids decide to tag along me 12 and my sister s 15 and my cousin A14 we get permission from one of my uncle Kay's friends to hunt his land a
ways away B basically several hundred acres of forest an important fact too is that during the time that we were setting up my pops and uncles were being quiet while the three of us kids were talking but my voice hasn't changed and this is important so us kids keep chattering away while the adults are just letting us get our energy out while they check the Survival equipment making Sure the guns are clean and working and all that a strong silent Southern types you know and all of a sudden there's a a rustling in the thick
brush around us and suddenly three creepy looking guys enter the clearing they stop Dead one of them has a hand on his knife on his belt they're clearly drunk as hell and they keep looking between A and S and my pops and uncles like they're debating something my pops and uncles stand up a last bit of backstory too every dude in My family is huge I'm 19 now and I'm 6'5 my dad is the biggest of 610 280 just deeply intimidating and so are my uncle vnk the guys laugh nervously as my uncle V picks
up one of the rifles and points it at them these dudes start running out of the clearing like the devil was after them and my pops immediately says that we're clearing out my uncles don't even question it and neither do us kids we're freaking out and totally take things down sloppy but my Pops doesn't say Anything about us messing up his camping equipment we get back into cell service and my dad calls the cops about seeing those guys but the cops just don't seem to think that it's serious since nothing happened we also told the
owner of the land who took it more seriously as he had kids of his own but we never heard anything about them appearing again on his land to his knowledge it's at that moment though that I realized a s and me with my Unchanged voice were the only ones these guys could hear talking and they obviously thought that theyd come across a camp of three girls by themselves [Music] about 4 years ago I was a lion cook at a restaurant that was located in a hotel my worked at this restaurant for nearly 2 years with
no problem walking the half mile or so distance that it took me to reach the bus that I took to get home from my job but this restaurant had a Partnership with the hotel for late night room service so pretty much every night after closing the restaurant one sometimes two line CS would stay after until uh 3:00 a.m. preparing simple things like salads sandwiches and wraps that would then be taken to the rooms VI Hotel employees now me being a recent college grad in my early 20s would always volunteer myself for the extra hours Student
loans and rent cost a lot of dollars and as I said prior I had worked this job for a decent amount of time with no problems except for one rainy night that I'll know never forget as I left my work that morning around 3:00 a.m. I realized that I'd messed up when I forgot an umbrella that day I now had to make my normal walk under decent rainfall after lighting a cigarette and putting in my headphones I was ready to Make my unfortunate Journey though I started on my normal routine walking back cutting through the
Alleyways that IID memorized as my shortcuts through the city and about halfway through my walk a car started following next to me with the passenger window down aware of my surroundings I had recognized this but decided to mind my business and keep my head down and just keep walking growing up in a rough neighborhood taught me better than to put my nose Where it doesn't belong unfortunately though that wasn't enough over the music coming from my headphones I could hear shouting coming from the car I turned to face the car driver but didn't stop walking
he looked back at me and it was a white man in his late 30s early 40s with a band dinner and sunglasses on I remember thinking that it was odd that he was driving with sunglasses so late in the night but he said hey man where are you heading and I could hear him say That at this point I took one of the earbuds out and replied what's it to you to which he answered I figured I'd ask you look like you need a ride to get out of the rain I told the guy that
I'm all set and that I was almost at my destination anyway now keep in mind I'm still walking and he's driving slowly next to me on this side of the street at 3:00 a.m. he replied with no problem do you smoke weed man at this point I was annoyed with this guy I had just gotten Done working 13 hours in a kitchen and all I wanted to do was listen to some damn music and unwind before B I told the guy no man I don't even though I actually do but I replied in a Stern
and obviously annoyed tone this time he just looked at me almost like he knew that I was Bull crapping him I said have a good night before replacing my earphone back into my ear and taking a ride up a oneway side street losing him in the Process I arrived at my bus stop safely and with about 10 minutes to spare I was the only one there besides one other man and a homeless man sleeping on a band someways up and after about 3 minutes the car pulls up to the side of the curb directly in
the bus lane this time I'm actually facing him he rolled down the window and said you're heading to the Southside huh I replied how do you know and he pointed above me I looked up and on the digital board it says the next Bus destination in time he said to me do you want to lift there I'm heading that way and at this point I was all set and the hood came out of me I told him hey man I don't know you and I don't want to ride with you so move he just stared
at me again but this time I st back we locked eyes for a good 20 seconds before the bus approached behind him honking loudly the guy checked his rearview mirror rolled up the window and Just sped off on the way home I remember looking behind me in my surroundings to make sure this creep didn't try to follow me home luckily he didn't and when I got off the bus I was in my apartment safe within about 5 minutes but fast forward a few weeks and one of my buddies who I worked with asked me if
I heard about the body the cops found in a dumpster behind the grocery store less than 5 minutes from the hotel I told him no but he said that the body of a girl Was found strangled to death and the cops are on the lookout for the killer still at large the cops had no evidence and were asking for people to come forward with additional information I hadn't told my buddy or anyone besides my girlfriend at that time what had happened that night and when I told him the story he insisted that I call the
cops and tell them what happened I told him that I would but in truth I never actually did call me old School but like I said earlier I only growing up to just mind my own business and avoid trouble and trouble won't find me so that's what I did to this day I still haven't heard anything more on the case I wonder if it was the same guy and I think about how weird it was for him to approach me the way that he did at such an odd hour of the day the sunglasses the
following me to the bus stop well that's stuff doesn't normally happen right anyway after that Experience I started walking home with my knife in my pocket and walked with only one earphone in the whole time so that I could hear my surroundings better I also stopped volunteering for the overnight shift as well I do hope that whoever killed that girl gets caught or at least has a change of heart it's crazy just how fragile life is hey [Music] this happened when I was about 10 I think or at least around that age I'm 15 Now
so I'd been at my cousin's wedding which was across the country and we had to stay in a hotel at the time we'd been up since 8:00 a.m. and spent the whole day celebrating so everyone was very tired and my dad had been drinking and wasn't able to drive us back to the hotel so my mom my sister and I made plans to get a lift from my auntie and my uncle my dad and my brother went with my other Auntie and Uncle anyway we had left the Venue and had been driving for about uh
10 minutes down a dark deserted oneway road everything was fine I was sitting in the back seat with my mom and my sister and we're all just chatting although I was kind of half asleep that was until my uncle cursed under his breath and the car slowed down this woke me up fully because I knew that the road was very long and there were only trees on this side of it also I was young and I believe that cursing Was a terrible sin at the time but when the car completely stopped I sat up a
bit trying to see what was going on then to my horror I saw a man walking towards the car this wouldn't have been as scary as it was if it weren't Pitch Black in the middle of nowhere and if the man didn't have a load of glass shards in his face it was truly just a horrifying sight there were pieces of glass in his skin and it was just so bloody and there was even a big Shard sticking out of his Cheek he knocked on the window and motioned for my auntie to roll down her
window she rolled it down a bit and my uncle asked what do you want the man with this glass in his face asked could you give me and a friend a ride to the hospital friend I thought to myself I couldn't see another man that's when a second man walked out from the bushes and he also had glass in his face and it was also really bloody the second man walked over to the driver's side of the Car where my uncle was he asked my uncle to roll down his window as well my uncle complied
but like my auntie he only rolled it down a small bit and the guy asked can you please give us a ride but my auntie told him I'm sorry but there isn't any room the first man looked at the back seat as if he didn't believe my auntie he made eye contact and it was probably the scariest 5 Seconds that I've ever experienced just then He pulled on the handle of the car door and it opened this is when I started to panic and I could feel my mom tense up my auntie struggled with the
man to try and close the door luckily though the man seemed like he'd been drinking so he wasn't as strong as he would have been if he were sober the second man didn't seem to be doing much he just kind of seemed to be watching the whole thing play out finally my auntie was able to close the door and locked it she said Please just take this I'm sorry and she scrambled out a $20 note I can't remember if the man actually took it or not but the last thing that I do remember about that
night was my uncle driving away as fast as he could after that I think that I fell asleep or I was in shock from what had just happened but I wonder now what would have happened if there was room in the car would the men have tried to hurt us or were they actually in a terrible Accident and genuinely needed a ride I don't know but I'm just thankful that we got away that night with everyone pretty much [Music] unscathed I'm an 18-year-old female with two female roommates of the same age we just moved to
a very big city and we live in a small apartment complex with a classic dark scary back alley which just so happens to be when my roommates parking spot is located as well so I Work overnight and one night got off work at around 12:30 midnight but my roommate picked me up and we had it home we were being pretty loud talking and laughing as we made our way around the building and up to the stairs to our apartment and the second that we got in and sat down on the couch our doorbell rang we
were of course very confused and from our position on the couch we can see out the window to our outer door uh the way that our apartment is arranged You unlock a door to get into a hallway that has doors leading to our apartment and our neighbors as well but it looks like the outdor leads directly into our apartment from the outside and there's a large middle-aged man outside our door he sees us sitting on the couch and starts talking to us asking us to open the door that he needs help he tells us that
someone is trying to rob him and he needs us to open the door and call the police for him we Immediately jump up and step out of view of the window obviously not near stupid enough to open the door we hear our neighbor's door open though two males live next door to us and they're very nice we peek out into the hallway and tell them what's going on he opens the door talks to the man tells him to wait outside while he gets his phone we can hear their exchange through the window our late night
visitor tells our neighbor that he has a bunch of silver Ignots or something on him and that they're worth a lot of money some guy was trying to rob him right outside and he needs someone to call the cops the neighbor complies but while he's ringing the police the guy just takes off running never to be seen again the cops never showed up either and I know that that isn't a big deal but that asking for help thing is a classic serial killer Ploy apparently plus he was supposedly getting robbed Right outside where we just
were and we didn't hear or see a thing it has bad intentions written all over it but either way we were left pretty creeped out that night so I had a creepy experience that I never really thought too much about but I figured that I'd share it so one morning probably around 4 a.m. I think I woke up to a very strange kind of growling or voice I guess I moved and looked over my shoulder my boyfriend Noticed that I was awake and said you heard that too right confused I said yes it worked me
up he said that he woke up to this feeling of an evil presence to the left side of the room in the corner he said that he was laying there and began praying silently and it was while he prayed that this thing began growling and speaking something that he couldn't understand after I woke up it apparently stopped it wasn't one of our pets I can assure you of that the windows were Closed it wasn't from outside or another room because it sounded as clear as someone talking to you only 10 ft away I've had a
couple of other strange things happen in this apartment too once when I was washing dishes a screw flew across the room and hit me in the center of my back above me was ceiling there were no lights or anything and from where it hit me it had definitely been thrown it's all kind of interesting and we're currently looking at a house built In 1883 to move into from this apartment so secretly I kind of hope this next place is haunted as well course P me crazy but I enjoy the thrill so I'm on a trip
backpacking around Europe with my brother currently in Paris we're staying in this hostel and wearing a 10 bunk bedroom there was this one guy in the room who was immediately super weird almost right away in fact like as soon as we got settled he starts talking to us about Flying to Libya he's all ask Libya fly tomorrow and me and my brother were just like ah no dude he keeps saying it though and we keep saying no and he's getting progressively more assertive about it as me and my brother are going around doing some sightseeing
and stuff I keep seeing this dude around as well when we're at the hostel he kept following us to the dining hall out onto the Terrace and I'm getting more and more creeped out my brother ever the Non-assertive soul that he is just laughs at off like the dude is joking this goes on for 2 days and well this morning we were going out to breakfast and I forgot my phone back in the room so I told my brother to just go ahead and I ran back to get it I go in the room and
the dude is sitting there there's no one else in the room and I honestly contemplated just leaving it but I didn't trust it alone in the room so I plan to just grab it quickly that Morning it was still on about liia was essentially bending over our beds going on about it despite me repeatedly telling to stop talking to us I go in and grab my phone when he suddenly just yells Libya now we go now I'm very scared since at this point we're the only ones in this room and I just say no dude
and I go to leave when he blocks the door and grabs my shoulder still going on about going to the airport and flying to Libya I shove past him and run Away till where my brother and I were going to breakfast I decided that we're going to switch rooms because this dude was officially creep level 100 we make it back to the hostel and before we talked to the front desk we went outside for a smoke and he shows up I almost yell at him this time to leave us alone and he just flat out
says no I go to the front desk and explain that this dude has been harassing us and we wanted to change Rooms I mentioned what went down in the room and before I knew it the cops were called and I was giving a statement as they were sorting it out though there were a couple of things that really jumped out at me the first was that this guy didn't pay in advance normally when you're staying in a hostel you pay the full amount up front or if you're staying for a while you pay weekly he
was apparently paying by the day and the second thing he had several pieces of ID In his wallet none of which matched his description apparently Paris has been having a problem with human trafficking and and this guy was escorted out of the hostel by the police he was banned from staying there again ever and me and my brother switched rooms and were given vouchers for free dinners for the rest of our stay there and now I'm terrified to go out by myself I swear if me and that guy had been alone in a more secluded
place that didn't have cameras Everywhere I'm pretty sure that I would have been shipped off to Libyan so I was only a baby when this happened and this is technically my mom's story a bit of background my mom had me pretty young she was 21 and she wasn't married her and my dad were only dating when I was born and she was about 22 when this whole thing occurred but they both went to the same church with friends that they had met in high school Louie Christine and quill my mom was riding in Quill's car
at the time I was a one-year-old in the back seat mom basically took me everywhere and everyone was heading towards a church event that they were all excited for Louie my dad and Christine were all in separate cars but they trailed quill because they're all heading in the same place anyway at some point my mom and quill was stuck at a stoplight they were chatting until my mom says that she just got this really uneasy feeling she never Had a problem with people keeping their doors unlocked but she just couldn't shake how she felt at
that moment finally she spoke up requesting what she suddenly felt was necessary she said hey quill can you please lock the doors quill was confused it was an odd thing for my mom the monarch of never locking doors to ask this and he said what wait why and she said I don't know I just have a feeling about it quill didn't object locking the doors just as My mother asked the light went green and everyone drove off it wasn't until the next stoplight that my mom and quill both experienced something that sure made them glad
that they had actually lock the doors as they sat there chatting away these two guys from a car next to them got out of their vehicles mind you we're on a road with a bunch of other people next to us so these guys must have been drunk or high or something but quickly They make their way over to Quill's car one on each side they begin to feverishly pull on the door handles try and desperately to get it open but my mom and quill screamed they were still at a stoplight and couldn't move without hitting
the cars next to them and after realizing that my mom's door didn't work one of them went for the door closest to me he tried to open it with all of his might until him and his douchebag Buddy started to try and break the windows Thankfully the light turned green and quill sped them out of there quickly my mom and quill were both in shock Christine called them freaking out because she saw the whole thing from a couple of cars behind she asked them if they were okay which although being in shock they weren't hared
my dad called her and told her that he and Louis were going to handle it which my mom believed and they all went on their way to this day my mom Says that she still doesn't know what my dad and Louie did to the guys my dad said that he found them but that's all that he would say about it Louie acted similarly not speaking of what happened and even after my parents got married and got divorced she still doesn't have a clue the first year of middle school a lot of things happened that I
believe really shouldn't have about a month before school started a day before my Birthday in fact I got my period for the first time I know sorry for that but it's actually important to the story I called my friend a few days afterward to tell her I was a bit of an early bloom so I was one of the first in my friend group to start well later on this particular friend of mine and I got into a fight and her retaliation was to start a rumor about me around the school that I was pregnant
and had sex with a high school throughout the day I noticed People giving me weird looks and I had no idea what it was about until my friends told me I came home balling my eyes out and my sister knew why being in a small town rumors spread like wildfire and everyone already knew about it this girl at the school that my sister was at told her about it and she went off at her this started a whole chain of events with me crying figuring out who it was and my mom at the principals not
leaving until they promised to do something About it it slowly started getting better but walking home from school I live nearly across the street became just hell I never learned this guy's name but the first day he followed me around on his bike with his best friend they circled around me so I had to stop walking asked me personal questions which I'd either stay silent or say something Snappy and just a bunch of things to purposefully make me uncomfortable on the third day he kept Making sexual comments about my body to the point that even
his friend said too Farm in after that he never had his friend with him and I just kind of broke down a few days of it happening I was always a really shy quiet kid I spent most of elementary school just not talking to anyone I had no idea how to handle it and I was scared to ask for help because I didn't think anybody would believe me or take it too seriously so I simply just didn't say Anything the last day of it happening though I think was the worst he had a group of
girls behind him all cheering him on as he was harassing me and one of them laughed and said you should stalk her and he actually agreed with her and I'd finally had enough and I started screaming and cussing him out he smirked and said feisty I like it and I just ran home I was already at the halfway point my sister was waiting for me at the front door that day with her dog only a Few months old so she had heard the whole thing and she didn't do that often but it seemed like perfect
timing and she looked panicked and was just like are you okay do I need to hurt someone and told me that I need to report that to the school I said that I was fine though and it was taken care of she was reluctant but she let it go but then he walked past my house and our dog jumped in front of me and started growling at him he just sort of chuckled Which really freaked both me and my sister out a few months before our house had actually gotten broken into and because I was
home alone a lot my mom decided to get me a dog to protect me she's a sweetheart though and let people Pat her and everything that's why my sister would sometimes wait for me outside and let kids better her but he was one of the only people that she's ever growled at I'm really afraid that if I didn't stand up for myself or Had a dog that he would have actually followed up on the threat of stalking me I only saw him around school a couple of times but once on the Student News because he
was on the football team and got this award or something I almost started crying when I saw it and when he went up to my lunch table because my friend asked him a question and he stared at me the entire time the last time that I saw him was the last day of school and I was getting Things out of my locker and when I walked past him his breath hitched and he just looked at me the entire time that I was in the hallway there are a lot of reasons why I hate that town
but after I graduated from e8th grade he was the biggest reason why I didn't want to go to that high school there I'm glad that my mom accepted and we moved into the City and I've had to deal with a fair share of creeps but he was by far the worst of [Music] when I was young I lived in my uncle's basement apartment with my grandparents and this damn place just always gave out the most creepiest of Vibes especially when I was there alone it had those gnarly yellow light bulbs in the early '90s splashing
light off the brick walled interior and it just gave the whole place an eerie yellowish Brown tinge it always just gave me the Creeps now on early fall evening my grandpa was out with friends while my grandma would do the usual Sunday afternoon ritual where she would make a gigantic pot of whatever stew or Curry dish and she would break it down into serve size portions and then freeze them to be used or eaten throughout the week when the house was old and getting to the point where creeks and bangs from walls were a pretty
normal occurrence I was also convinced that Parts of the floor were unlevel as the door to my bed when open to a certain angle would slowly begin to close on its own making a creaking noise the whole way so for example if you open the door at a 90° angle it would slowly close itself to a 25 angle but never actually slam shut the windows were spread out throughout the basement but there were those slim 9 by 18 in or whatever sliding windows that were way up top of the wall and too high for me
or Grandma To reach without using a chair only Grandpa was tall enough to access them without help so on this Sunday afternoon my grandma proceeds to start cooking as the choice of Curry dish that as she had thought up required a good four to 5 Hour slow simmer I was in the living room or family room just kind of bouncing around building planes out of Lego and playing rescue missions with the little Lego men in the kitchen the stove was in the Corner and across the stove maybe a good 6ot Gap was the fridge above
the stove was one of the windows that I mentioned earlier so so Grandma starts the simmer and casually joins me in the living on the family room and turns on a movie as she normally would on a Sunday afternoon I wasn't really into the movie at first it was some foreign one but once the action scene started with all the Kung Fu and the fist flying I was pretty captivated so I joined her on the couch Spellbound by all those explosions and people fighting all over the place occasionally every 10 to 15 minutes or so
my grandma would pause the movie to go check on whatever she was cooking as the aroma started to fill the entire basement and I'm sure the whole upstairs house as well sometimes I would join her being the curious little T that I was and asked questions like did you use Tomatoes today is there meat in there where did you learn how to make this Grandma always responded and explained in detail that she was always proud of making food for us so as we're nearing the end of the movie we are both startled by loud bang
in a crashing noise my grandma jumps off the couch and goes dashing into the kitchen with me maybe three steps behind her and what I saw that day I still can't explain the big pot of food that I was mentioning was laying next to the fridge on the other side of the kitchen the Carry had splashed all over the wall and spilled all over the floor and some of it even on the fridge in my Panic State I stream off stuff like what the hell questions for Grandma who went e really silent as she grabbed
towels and began cleaning up this crazy mess I began helping her and pointing out stupid little details because I still don't understand how this pot flew like 5 or 6 fet through the air and seems to be what hit the fridge before it came crashing To the floor as if someone had picked it up and thrown it across the kitchen but my grandma she just stayed silent until it was cleaned up once cleaned we began inspecting the area to now come up with a conclusion of what could have happened the windows were all closed because
being fall the basement can get quite cold in the fall and winter months in Canada they were also way too small for someone to fit through and Escape in a matter of seconds or to be open from the Outside we tried this many times as kids in fact when we forgot our keys and we were locked out after school and going through that window was just never an option the simmering pot could have vibrated off the stove I suppose but then how did it get like 6 ft across the kit and slam into the fridge
like that a few hours later my grandpa came home and me being like 8 or 9 years old Ran Over screaming the curry went flying of course he just gave me a big hug and Ignored me figuring that I'm just being a Nutty little kid but that's when my grandma grabbed him pulling him into the room and closing the door behind I stuck up to the door to hear what they were saying but I couldn't make anything out but my grandpa is a a pretty serious ex-military guy who doesn't really have a sense of humor
or mess around unless it comes to us grandkids and then he's a total clown making funny faces telling jokes and stories about whatever he felt Was fitting to help guide us youngsters along he always pushed us to be curious and always helped find answers to the questions that we had but once he came out of that room his demeanor was just different he wasn't his usual smiling let's play games with grandkids form he was quiet rigid and in thought they went into the kitchen and he looked around I stayed quiet behind both my grandparents just
observing and trying to make sense of it all we ended Up ordering pizza that night and during Pizza like stupid kids do and they can't let go of things I brought up the issue again with my grandpa he stayed quiet the whole time and my grandma responded with we're not going to be talking about that anymore in a very Stern voice and felt like I was sort of in some kind of trouble or something I never once brought it back up after that and to this day I still can't explain the mysterious case of the
Flying [Music] Curry so I was at a concert of my coworker that time and it wasn't really good and at a church in a small town 40 minutes away by car from the town that I lived and when it was over I found out that I missed my last bus I asked my coworker if I could sleep at his place but he rejected it so I did what I always do in such a situation I walked it was the time before smartphon So the only way for me to find the right path was by reading
the street signs and hope for the best I'll also admit that U I cried the entire time while I was walking it was 2: in the morning though when I arrived at the next train station I thought that I could take a ride with a cab but there were no caps I didn't know what to do so I waited at the place where the cap should be and I smoked a cigarette should I walk the way home another hour by foot or even more at Least should I wait until the cab shows up or the
first train in the morning I didn't know what to do but then a car showed up and stopped in front of me the man inside rolled down the passenger window and spoke to me hey can you give me a lap please he said I wasn't comfortable at all going over to him but I did I gave him a light and quickly turned around and stood at the same place as before he didn't drive away though and asked where I had to go and I Said in which town that I lived and he invited me to
get into his car he said that it was on the way and he could bring me home after thinking about it for some time too I really just don't know why I even got in the car I didn't even want to but I guess I was tired the ride itself wasn't bad at all we had a bit of small talk and he drove the usual route that I knew and he wasn't creepy at all while driving and I thought maybe he was just really a nice Guy just trying to help me out so I guided
him to my house but he didn't stop in front of it instead he drove a bit further away I thanked him and gave him my lighter as a gift and when I was about to open the door and leave the car he said what the hell is wrong with you I was surprised by this sudden mood change and I asked caught off guard what I don't remember exactly what he said but it was something along the lines of that's not how you thank someone who Drove you home in the middle of the night I expect
you to do another favor for me in return something like that anyway I kind of understood what he implied but well I'm no hooker so I chuckled a little bit thanked him again gave him the lighter and I got out of the car I was walking towards my home too when I heard him opening the door and closing it the door of his car that is and then the of him running towards me I looked over my shoulder and saw him Getting closer to me I shrieked kind of like a mouse and I started running
as well at the door of my home I quickly opened it got inside locked it ran upstairs to my bedroom locked my door as well and just hid under my blanket I got away and nothing else happened that night he didn't do anything else and he left and after that I never saw him again [Music] so my friend in the neighborhood found a Ouija board in his brother's stuff while he was away at College he told me what it was and asked me if I wanted to play it with him trying to impress him I
said yes and we went into his room and we tried it out but nothing happened and we were left pretty disappointed but later that week he called me and told me that he looked up how to use the board properly and wanted to give it another go I agreed as I was pretty confident nothing would happen again so we grabbed A bunch of scentered candles and we placed them around the board and did the whole s on stuff we asked the board if anyone was there and it of course went to yes we thought the
other was messing around but we agreed to take it seriously because I didn't really care if it was just a stupid joke but we asked the ghost what its name was and it spelled out Owen my friend asked if it was a person and it went to not we asked what it was and it had actually spelled Out demon I then asked for it to prove it and you know that call into the intro to finding Bigfoot well that's the closest thing to what we heard from the garage keep in mind it was only Us
in the house and it scared the absolute crap out of us and we just ran straight out of the house we also checked the garage after a while but there was nothing anyway a few weeks go by and he tells me how he's having paranormal experiences in his house he feels like He's being watched whenever he's downstairs in the kitchen in the living room he feels someone sitting on the end of his bed every night and every time that he walks past the garage he feels someone grab his wrist and pull it towards the garage
whenever I went over I always got that feeling that someone was looking at me from the ceiling it was definitely weird and unnatural but then came the scariest Part of all so we were at his house playing army in his room while no one else was home when we began to hear these heavy footsteps downstairs except whatever was making it obviously had Hooves or something in fact it sounded like a full grown horses walking around downstairs then we heard someone begin to laugh and cough at the same time and my friend ran over and slammed
the door shut and we hit he HIIT under his bed while I hid in the closet but then it Sounded like someone began scratching his door with like one big claw or something he started crying and I was honestly on the verge of tears as well my friend yelled leave us alone oh and you're scaring us and it began to stop and then we heard it run down the stairs my friend got up and threw me out of the closet and grabbed the Ouija board that was in there with me he ran down the stairs
ripped the screen door off of his gas fireplace threw the thing In there put the screen back on and went to turn it on but when he was just about to turn it on we heard a a loud moan from the basement which was right behind my friend he flicked the fireplace on and the board began to burn and that was pretty much the end of it and we just played outside since he was way too scared to go back into the house until his parents got home his parents came home and saw that he
burned his brother's Ouija board they grounded him And threw the burnt board away but after that there was no more paranormal experiences in my friend's house anymore but if anyone ever asks me to join in on a sance or with Ouija boards ever again that's exactly why I will never take part in any of these games ever [Music] again so I 21 female used to live in a really bad neighborhood when I was a kid driveby shootings were not uncommon rapes had happened in surrounding houses While we lived there and before we moved we also
found out that the sweet man across the street was actually a certified sex offender so obviously not a great place for children to walk around alone right true but if you have a 70 lb good boy that is completely dedicated to protecting you it's doable so my mom little brother in a stroller me and Spanky my good boy went for a walk around the neighborhood to go Two blocks away to go to the community pool I like most six-year-olds wanted to wander ahead with my dog is he was always gentle when I had to lead
and walk closely to me as we were nearing the pool there was a stretch of Hedges that Lin the walkway to the pool entrance Spanky was walking ahead of me by maybe about 3 ft me sff towards a bush and just came to a complete stop he began posturing and growling deeply bearing his teeth to the bush he had Never growed like this before and to me it was kind of horrifying to see my best bud like this I tried to walk around him and he turned the back end of his body to block me
his eyes still fixed on the bush I tried again and he does it yet again and my mom is still about four houses behind and hasn't noticed this yet but then I see the bush start to move and take a step back I say to my mom mom I think Spanky found a kitty I start taking a step towards the bush and Am knocked over completely by Spanky at this point I'm crying and on the ground scraped elbow and no biggie but it definitely gets my mom running and exactly at this moment a man bolts
out from the bush and takes off running when Spanky knocked me over it made me drop his leash so he booked it after this guy about 300 ft away from the bush Spanky caught up with him and made some sickening contact with this guy's ankles and Forearms now I've heard a lot of Screams on TV and in movies but I had never heard a real blood curdling scream like this before my mom pulled me close and pulled out her phone fingers shaking while she's on the phone with 911 you can hear this guy screaming get
him off me and me going Spanky he's not a kitty Spanky may have actually mangled a stray cat who wandered into the yard before this just FYI but when the police arrived they Asked for a full version of events and my mom and I gave the details the best that we could Spanky was sitting contently at our feet after the officers and my mom removed Spanky from this guy the guy was taken in car and after a quick check up by the ambulance he was fine just a few good bites Spanky definitely held back somewhat
but about 10 years later I asked my mother about it when I was looking through old photo albums and saw a picture of me and Spanky playing in the backyard she sighed and said oh you know what happened we don't need to talk about it I said well yeah but why would he attack some random homeless guy and my mom made a really confused face and I said what that's what happened right she then says I guess I can tell you now I didn't want to tell you back then because I didn't want you to
worry but the man who Spanky pulled out of that bush had been spotted peeking into the houses in the Neighborhood that had kids he was the same man that was hiding in the backyard when you had a sleepover at your friend's house he had a knife that he dropped when he ran from the bush and the police thought that he might have been canvasing the neighborhood before he decided who to take and if it wasn't for Spanky you you might have actually have been you so yeah basically this guy was a complete pedophile that had
been spending weeks at night creeping into People's backyards that he knew had children so that he could break into our rooms individually and kidnap us and most likely much worse I live 300 mi from there now and still to this day I cannot handle coming to that stupid hedge even if I tried so like I mentioned in my previous story my boxer actually saved me from almost being kidnapped by someone who scouted us out and there was a pedophile in the neighborhood who was looking for his Chance to strike but my boy stopped him before
he could but this is actually what led up to this happening just one week beforehand so like I said in the other story this was a really bad neighborhood but it was also full of families with young kids and most of us in the neighborhood were around the same age and liked to play together one of my friends was a little girl called Alexis and we were both 6 years old we lived Right across the street from one another and we played often when our older sisters who were friends would play too most of the
time we played in the street our front yards or either one of our houses we also had semi-weekly sleepovers after I had ballet and she had te- Ball but for this particular sleepover it was a T's birthday so we went door Todo in the neighborhood and handed out handmade invitations to the big seven Sleepover we went to about six or seven houses I'd say to Rally our friends and about eight little girls in total attended that night too her mom let us set up our sleeping bags in the living room right next to the sliding
glass door that led out to the backyard this was on the opposite side of the house from her mom's room but we all insisted on sleeping there and she obliged in the end because she had worked the next evening and just wanted to get some Sleep so we were all playing hide-and go seek in the living room in the kitchen when Alexa's big sister suggested that we turn off the lights and play in the dark instead I afraid of the dark and still used a nightlight religiously said no but was quickly outvoted we were playing
for about 5 minutes and when I was hiding next to the sliding glass door behind the curtain I was getting bored and decided to look outside I look Outside and I see this big ass oak tree in the backyard and I see a branch move I squint and I look a little closer really hoping that I could see an owl or a squirrel or something the branch moves again and this time I see two glowing circles I get really excited and think that's such a huge owl those eyes are ginormous my sister is the seeker
and comes over and finds me because she knows that I always hide there when she tags me I say hey [ __ ] look how big the 's eyes and my sister looks and her expression just goes flat she says there's nothing there and I begin insisting that I see a giant owl and she keeps insisting that there isn't an owl this draws all the other girls over and eventually all of us start walking over to the glass door to see the branch shakes again but a lot more violently this time and we all let
out a little squeal and I say see I told you Alexis starts getting excited too And then says here let's turn on the outside light so we can see him better she then turns on the light and we then see this dude sitting in a tree trying to scramble down the trunk and getting stuck on a branch we all lose it and start screaming our heads off this wakes a mom up who comes running down the hallway with a handgun in her hand and PJ's on and she was a single mom in the hood and
it was a good thing to have the dude manages to get down right as she Gets to the glass and this badass woman opens the glass runs into her backyard gun in hand and says you better keep running eventually she comes back in and calms all of us down best that she can while she calls the police and all of our parents too but since we all live so close though most of our parents come before the police didn't and unfortunately after that we didn't get to sleep over at our house ever again this happened
to me about 5 years ago I Think so some details are a bit fuzzy but I'm sharing this exactly how I remember it so when I was in high school I was best friends with this girl called Sarah Sarah and I were practically Inseparable and Sarah was what you would consider the cool girl she was charismatic spontaneous rebellious confident and incredibly beautiful she was also somewhat of a bad influence though don't get me wrong she never pressured me into doing anything that I Wasn't comfortable with I.E drinking smoking older boys and all that sort of
stuff but she did bring me into some questionable situations to say the least but I truly loved her and cherished our friendship she was the sister that I really never had and I'm the oldest child and the only girl born to Eastern European immigrants so naturally I grew up in a very strict and controlling household I realized my parents were only like this to try and protect me but We feeling so caged only made me want to venture out more really and this itch to be rebellious is what I think caused my lapse of judgment
to agree to Sarah's plan that night so it was a summer break between my Junior and Senior year of high school our mutual friend Riley an amateur photographer Sarah's boyfriend Ryan and their friend cherry and myself were all sleeping over Sarah's house already a rare occurrence because of how strict my Parents were we were all chilling though on the couch just watching Ghost Adventures when Sarah was telling us about an episode that she was watching earlier about this place called the domes in Arizona she was telling us how there was supposedly a satanic cult that
practiced there and how we should go and check it out but we live southeast of Phoenix and would be able to get there in about 45 minutes I looked at my phone's clock and Saw that it was about 10: p.m. and this is where I should have objected but I wanted to do something cool and adventurous so I said yes everyone was excited and grabbed the supplies and piled into my crappy 2005 Golda Honda Accord and to get to The Domes you need to drive in the middle of the desert and anyone who lives in
the desert knows just how creepy it can be at night maybe it was the dark desolate Highway maybe it was the realization of what we were Going to do or maybe my guardian angel telling me that I'm a dumbass but I started to just get really nervous about this trip my thighs were shaking and I just had this gut feel feeling that we should not be going to this place I tried to voice my concerns as well but everyone said that I was being paranoid and basically just told me to shut up and drive we
finally got off the highway though and drove on a dirt road for a Few miles until we pulled up to a chain link fence with a gap in it I pulled the car around so it was facing the exit just in case we needed a speedy getaway and as soon as I parked Sarah Cherry and Ryan all jumped out and started walking through the fence Riley hopped out too but waited about 5 ft from the car for me so I wouldn't have to walk alone I was hiding everyone's valuables because my car's locking mechanism was
actually broken and all the locks need to be Manually opened since I already had a bad feeling about this place I opted to keep the doors unlocked just in case we needed to all get in quickly as I was hiding their stuff I had the sudden urge to look to my left across the street was a tall line of Hedges and there appear to be a man standing in the shadows just watching me for some reason this didn't immediately spark Terror in me instead I was just kind of curious and a bit confused I was
wondering if he actually Lived around the area or if it was just a human- shaped Shadow or something but I looked at this thing for about 3 seconds until I finished what I was doing and go out to join Riley when I got to her I asked did you see that man but Riley confused replied with with whatman I didn't see anybody so in the end I just kind of shrugged it off and we started walking you needed to walk about an eighth of a mile on dirt to get to The Domes and if You
Google Grande domes pictur should come up but I'll describe them anyways so there are multiple concrete domes in this Center and they vary in shape I remember one that stood alone was UFO shaped While others were more circular and kind of connected the domes appeared to be abandoned while they were still being built and had been standing there for quite some time they were made of concrete but covered in graffiti and most had chunks of the ceiling missing As the brutal Arizona Sun had wor down so much in fact that they'd begun to fall apart
when Riley and I entered one of the domes the first thing that I noticed was just how the structures manipulated the sound because of their shape sound bounced really strangely inside you could hear noises across the room room like they were right next to you and could barely be able to hear the person right beside you also it was the middle Of the night in the desert there's no light pollution out there so the only lights that we had were the moon our phone flashlights and Riley's dad's police style flashlight and the combination of the
shadows and the sounds were very disorientating to say the least so Riley and I were walking through these domes chatting as she took photos until we caught up to the rest of the group as we were walking I could Have sworn that I was hearing footsteps walking behind us on the dirt and when we were rounding a corner I looked back and I definitely saw a man tailing us I saw this man multiple times throughout the night in fact and I would always ask Riley if she saw her or heard anything too but she always
denied it and again told me that I was just being paranoid the longer we stayed there though just the weirder things became others started hearing footsteps echoing Outside even if we were standing still while we were in the center of the Dome we discovered a giant pentagram drawn on the floor with bones in the middle I'm hoping that these were just someone's lunch leftovers from their edgy picnic or something because I don't want to think that we were standing on the remnants of some Satanic ritual but while we were looking at the pentagram we started
hearing scratching on the Walls not short and Rapid scratches like an animal digging but really long slow scratches like something or something someone was trying to make its presence known at this point Ryan and I were asking to leave because it was definitely getting to be a bit too freaky but then in the middle of us protesting Cherry's face became expressionless and she slowly turned around and started walking towards the back of the room to what appeared to be Either an exit or entrance of another room with a pony wall between us and it as
Cherry was walking in this trans-like state Sarah was saying to her don't go in there Cherry someone is following you I'm telling you don't go in there you'll regret it Etc but we all watched as she turned the corner and walked out of our view it was probably only a few seconds but it felt like we were waiting there for at least 5 minutes in anticipation and then we all heard Cherry let out a blood curdling scream and run straight back to us she started telling us how she needed to leave now and she didn't
want to be there anymore I thought for a moment that she was just pulling a prank on us but look of fear in her eyes and the trembling in her voice seemed just too genuine for that finally though everyone agreed to start walking back to the car when we were within visuals of the car Sarah suddenly stopped and asked me to look at her back As she lifted her shirt up and she had three long red scratch marks running down the length of her back I said to her holy crap you have scratches does it
hurt and Sarah was like yeah it burned what I have scratches I started to reply to her when she interrupted me by screaming run you don't have to tell me twice a wheel start running towards my car and as soon as I got in it I started the car and asked if everyone was in and they Frantically said yes drive now so I started to floor it when I heard one of them say wait Cherry's not here I immediately stopped and backed up to find Cherry throwing a tantrum in the middle of the street she
yells at me no it's cool I'll stay here and sits down in the middle of the street I began to apologize and tell her to just get in the car but she ignored me and just continued throwing a fit yelling about how she wants to stay there and die and Generally just being dramatic I never did really like cherry and while I did feel bad about almost leaving her there like that her throwing attention was really starting to piss me off and I was thinking about actually leaving her ass there for being a brat but
before I could Sarah managed to convince her to get into the car and we began to drive off we were about a quarter mile of the way when I saw a flashlight flickering on and off in the rearview mirror I Stopped and asked the rest of them if they saw that too they said that they did and Sarah wanted me to turn around and see what it was I refused and said that I wouldn't drive us back over there and to that Sarah replied with okay then I'll drive in my 16-year-old brain I thought that
that was a great idea de and so we switched seats and she turned around the lights appeared to be in the same location as the opening in the fence but as we passed we didn't see Anything we continued to drive about another quarter mile until we saw the flashing light in the review mirror again so she turned around and again we didn't see anything when we passed we repeated this two more times until I told her that I was fed up and that someone was probably just messing with us and so we decided that we
should just leave but as we passed the entrance she slammed the brakes and she rolled down a Window and in the shadow of the hedges there was a man standing there just staring at us the light from our phones were too dim to reach him and I was asking Riley to hand me her police flashlight but she was frozen in fear and I couldn't reach it Sarah and Cherry were yelling at him asking hey who are you were you the one with the flashlight and then when he wouldn't answer Cherry started to get aggressive with
him she started saying hey you freak we're Talking to you what's your deal this next part still gives me shivers to this day the man then took a step forward into the light so that we could see him and in that moment we all collectively realized what he was wearing he had on a black cloak with a hood up and as he took another step forward he raised his arms up to his side in a way that resembled Jesus Christ on the cross and in the most monotone but Sinister voice said don't Worry guys it's
just me and smiled as he said this I was drawn to a reflection of light because he was holding a knife in his left hand I immediately started yelling at Sarah to drive and he started sprinting towards the car she flawed and as she did in the reiew mirror we saw about 10 people run out of the hedges and the fence line towards our car we were all looking back screaming our heads off and when we turned onto the highway we all Eventually calmed down but after that nobody spoke when we reached the nearest gas
station Sarah asked to switch and I drove the rest of the way back to her house Sarah and Cherry went to sleep upstairs in their bedroom Cherry had actually been kicked out of a house and was temporarily living with Sarah and they shared a room and the bed in the room as well Ryan and Riley and I slept on the big L-shaped couch downstairs in The living room and I was obviously still spooked but said a prayer and eventually I just fell asleep and the next day when I went home everything was normal about a
week later though I got a text from Sarah to meet up she had dropped out of school the previous semester to get a GED instead and since I was in AP classes it wasn't uncommon for me to not see her a week that evening she came over to my house and she just Looked awful her hair was greasy her eyes looked tired and bloodshot and I knew immediately that something was up I brought her up to my room and asked her what was wrong and she immediately started crying and told me about the past week
she said that night of the dome's adventure and every night since then she's had this same nightmare she's looking down at herself Sleeping from the corner of the bedroom ceiling when this demon begins to crawl out of a Closet apparently had has the head of a ram but the body of a man with no genitalia it crawls toward her bed and it moves as if every bone in its body is kind of broken she's filled with absolute dread as all she can do is watch it climbs onto her bed and breathes heavily over her unconscious
body and at this point she's so terrified that a single tear drops down onto the Beast the exact moment that the tear makes contact with this creature Its head turns 180° and it makes eye contact with her and then she immediately wakes up from the dream and begins sobbing it even got to the point where she was trying to pull an all nigher but always ended up passing out from exhaustion and that morning she had begun to share her experiences with cherry when Cherry began to shake and cry as well Sarah was confused until Cherry
said I've been having that exact same dream every night Too after that everything seemed to settle down and we eventually lost contact but I'll never forget that night at the domes and everything that [Music] happened this happened in my first year at Uni Australia I was moving at of home for the first time and I think this made me very very naive in this situation at 20 and female so i f a cheap place in the city near my workplace or uni at the time 150 bucks per week for a room in The Storehouse only
20 minutes out from the CBD it seemed like an awesome deal to me and my message to the landlord and told her that I was interested before she gave me time to come and inspect a place she seemed overly interested in my ethnic background I'm half Ethiopian so I definitely don't look white but when I told her that I'm Australian she suddenly became kind of withdrawn I thought it was strange I mean maybe she Thought that I was lying because she had seen my profile photo on flatmates.com.au so I explained my background she seemed satisfied
with my answer and so he organized time for me to come and see the room so Denise showed me around and talked as if the place was already mine which my thought was exciting but there was a main house with five bedrooms a caravan on the side and a granny flat behind it with three bedrooms which is Where I would be moving in the main house and the Caravan were full seven people living there but only one of the rooms in the granny flat was actually occupied it was nice ni enough considering and very clean
a weekly cleaner was included in the rent price as well as weekly maintenance I didn't think to ask what that meant because I was already pretty set at moving in but I met the people who would go on to be my housemates all of them were Foreigners mostly Chinese or South Korean who had come to study I still didn't find this odd I mean there are plenty of international students here the door to my room had a lock on it and I was told only myself and Denise had a key but but Denise never usually
came to the house so there was a nice level of privacy so a week after I moved in I met the maintenance guy Patrick he seemed to be gardening and came over to introduce himself seemed nice enough and I found Out that he's Denise's brother he looked to be out in his late 40s or so and I found him to be a little bit awkward but I've been raised to be polite to a fold so I ended up talking to him for a long time before going back to my room I don't remember what we
talked about but I I remember he kept saying things like I was very beautiful and describing my skin as exotic and caramel more than once which kind of rubbed me the wrong way if I'm being honest a few days later The cleaner comes also she's super lovely and has known Denise and Patrick for a long time she and I had nice chats and for some reason she brought up that Patrick was on the autism spectrum so to me that explained his awkwardness and I realized that he's harmless so I felt bad about my initial Judgment
of him the next time that I saw him I came out into the kitchen and saw him standing there this struck me as odd because one it was the morning and I was in my pajamas and Just woken up two he's the maintenance guy I didn't understand why he should be inside but I felt bad so I just smiled and I said get a he turned and seemed startled but explained to me that he was just taking out the trash I saw that he had actually replaced the bins in the kitchen so I was just
like oh okay he was just trying to be nice I guess but I told him that he really didn't have to do that he just kind of insisted though and I was like me all right whatever I Ended up talking to him again and again he seemed to have a weird fixation with me being exotic even though I told him that I was born in Australia but mostly he was just generally asking how I was finding the place and he reiterated that everything was super safe and for some reason brought up the keys to the
bed bedrooms he said only me Denise and he had keys I didn't say anything out loud but in my head I thought wait since when does he have a key but in the end I Still just kind of brushed it off we cat you a few months later I work about 4 to 6 days a week casual as well as going to UNI 4 days so I'm rarely there during the day and I lock my bedroom door before leaving every day I don't remember exactly what time of the year this would have have been but
it was colder and I hadn't used the ceiling fan in my room for a while I got home unlocked my bedroom door and I noticed that the ceiling fan was on this struck Me as odd immediately because I knew that I hadn't turned it on in like forever I was very very confused and thought that i' turned it on while leaving or something and just didn't remember maybe I brought it up with my roommate and she just kind of shrugged it off and said that's odd but did seem weirded out by it so I figured
that I was just overthinking it but note too that I kept to myself a lot wasn't close to any of my roommates and only talked To this woman occasionally so a few weeks later I'm leaving for work and I have a very strange feeling while walking to the front gate of the house for some reason I turn around and I see Patrick hiding behind some bushes staring at me as soon as he's caught he turns and pretends to be gardening in the moment my mind actually went kind of blank I was like surely he wasn't
just watching me right all I did was frown and kind of Wonder To myself why he would stare at me like that and then pretend that he hadn't been I come back later in the day though unlock my door walk in and again something is just off but this time I can't put my finger on it I stand in my room looking around staring at everything in the room but I can't find anything when I realized that I don't know what I'm looking for and I feel creeped out and I just leave the room and
tell my roommate again that I Thought someone had been in my room but this time she sat down with me and basically said that she thought someone went into her room recently too we chatted and she said that she left her bedroom window open when she went to work and when she came home it was shut I brought up the fan again and my roommate said that maybe we should let Denise know so I texted Denise and said something along the lines of I think someone's Going into my room because of X and Y events
and my roommate said the same thing I exchanged a few messages with Denise but the general response from her was just oh wow that's so bizarre again being super naive and young and way too polite for my own good I assumed that I was just overreacting and didn't want to seem like a bad tenant thankfully it turns out Denise was more sympathetic than I realized because she said that she was going to Have the locks changed the next day I was like great thanks and assumed that that would be it but in my head I
was thinking only three people have the keys me Denise and Patrick so if someone had been coming in wouldn't it have had to have been one of the three of us which is why I didn't feel good when Patrick showed up the next day to change the lock himself being the maintenance guy and all I ended up leaving while he did the change got a text later saying that It was done and new keys were in the mailbox fast forward now and I'd now been at this place for nearly a year by now I was
aware that Patrick seemed to come over about twice a week and he always came inside the house to take out the rubbish but never seemed to really do maintenance work I chalked it up to Denise giving him a job because maybe he couldn't find one elsewhere and I tried to avoid him as far as I remember nothing else seemed strange until now And I came home from work again and walk in to my bedroom while I'm getting my clothes to shower I noticed something very very strange that was definitely not there when I left there
was some widish pale Gunk kind of splattered upwards on the wall and the floor honestly my first thought when looking at it after a while was like that looks like dut glaze or something I lean closer to it but still didn't really register what the stuff was only that I Definitely didn't spill anything at all in here so again I got creeped went to the kitchen grabbed a Chucks and wiped it up when I had the thought like wait is that I really didn't know what to look for but as soon as I had that
thought nothing could convince me otherwise and again my door had been locked only myself Denise and Patrick had keys my roommate wasn't home but I called Denise right away she didn't answer so instead I messaged her and said basically someone had been in my room and there was some weird stuff splattered on the wall I wanted to see if she came to the same conclusion that I did but her response this time was really off she messaged me back hours later and was dismissive said something like yeah very bizarre the lock has been changed though
and I was like yeah obviously so who do you think would have been in there I felt so weird and kind of grossed out That I went to a friend's place and met message my stepdad about it I told him everything for the first time too and I guess that it sounds a lot worse all at once because his response was hell no you're moving out of there I called Denise and I told her that I was moving out if the issue wasn't taken seriously and this is when I realized that the leasing situation at
this place was really dodgy which I didn't know beforehand due to lack of experience and No sense to ask but essentially there was no record of me actually being a tenant and I was just kind of sending money into this lady's bank account but there wasn't any official paperwork I looked back over the stuff that i' had signed when I initially moved in and it was actually typed up by Denise I I don't remember details but it wasn't official at all and again super naive and young so I was able to move out ASAP Denise
didn't put up a fuss about the short notice and when I came back the next day day the stuff on the wall was gone so I didn't have any proof of what actually happened but that at least just kind of confirmed to me that something weird was going on with Denise and Patrick my stepdad helped me take all my stuff out I didn't have much Denise just left a message and said please leave the keys on the counter and it took me a few weeks to process every creepy thing that Happened throughout my stay there
and put it all together as a kind of a massive creep vest my roommate left soon after that as well well and months later she actually messaged me to say that one of the old housemates told her that the police were called to the place and they don't know why or what happened but I suspect that it wasn't for the [Music] tenants this happened to me over a decade ago but I'll never forget the Feeling deep in my chest both that night and then next morning when the true nature of the situation became apparent so
it was late December in a small Texas town we had just received 5 in of snow earlier in the day I can't remember what time it was and all I remember was it was dark out I was playing in my room though and it's important to note that my room was made up of two rooms my mud room with a door leading out to the front then my actual Bedroom the door was an old style wood door with all the old hardware and had a window on the top half it had a window shade but
that wouldn't stop anyone from looking in if they wanted my room was the frontmost with my parents' room being in the back of the house as well so I was in my mudro playing with my Hot Wheels when I felt something weird like someone was watching me I was trying to focus on the little openings left by the window shade I stared looking for any Reason to feel unsafe and run but after a while I was sure that there was nothing so I went back to playing a few minutes later I got that feeling again
though and this time I didn't look at the door but instead moved to where my back was now at the door and I was just hoping that it was all on my head just then the most terrifying thing happened there was a noise at the door like the door knob was being touched I was still turned around Back facing the door I was completely Frozen at the metal on metal sound of the door knob it was definitely moving I didn't know how or why but it was moving slowly turning testing the lock I wanted to
move but I was frozen it was honestly like someone just glued every joint in my body my chest felt like a car was parked on it my parents had been in their shower all the way at the back of the house leaving me at the front all alone with the only room lit up being Mine suddenly the door knob was not being gently moved and someone was turning it with Force now this door was one that had been locked with a skeleton key so the knob could turn and open freely luckily there were two dead
B s and whoever was on the other side just figured out that the knob was free to open as soon as I heard the knob turn all the way I sprung up to the wall about 5 ft from the door my back to the wall the door fell silent and I found Myself glued on the wall unable to move then the knob turned slowly and I remember watching just waiting for it to turn all the away and when it did whoever was on the other side started to try and Budge the door and pry it
open and at first it was easy going but then they started pounding into the door with their foot and they got only two kicks in when Myan froze and screamed for my life I sprinted to the back of the house to get my parents they asked what was Wrong and I told them that someone was trying to break in they immediately ran and checked not bothering to look outside which I pleaded them to go and check outside and they just said that my imagination was running wild and it must have been an animal or the
old age of the house they took one final look in my mudro not bothering to investigate any further and then I was just told to go to bed it took me hours and I don't even Remember falling asleep all I remember is staring at the door from my bed never taking my eyes off the dawn suddenly though I was woken up by my parents who were obviously distressed and seemed to be scared my mom grabbed me by both shoulders and got right in front of me she asked very sternly why I thought someone tried to
break in when when I told them this time they actually seemed to listen I was really worried how serious they were as they asked me about Everything but when I was done they said that they have to go show me something and they took me to the front door and out to the front yard and pointed to my door near the driveway and when I looked you could clearly see bootprints in the snow walking along the street through our yard and straight to my window than my mudro door where I'd been playing the night prior
the police showed up and took a report but nothing ever really came from It and I was never able to sleep well in that house again I can never forget what it felt like as a child to go through this and to not have my parents believe me like that I'm just glad that I wasn't home alone and very thankful for those dead BS so I was working at this hospital called Warren General in Warren PA about 90 minutes east of Erie PA I work night shift I'm a travel RN so this was one of
those hospitals that I traveled to but One night my floor was slow so I pulled down to the CCU to work and well that night my patient rang a core Bell at 3:00 in the morning and she asked me what does she want I said what do you mean and she said the nurse that keeps coming in here and standing there in that corner and and she points to the corner behind the door so I was like who Ashley the nurse that I was working with and I pointed to her she was sitting at the
nurses station on the computer and She says no the other one well there was no other one and it was just us two just FYI too the patient was a woman in her 50s and didn't have history of mental illness and was not taking any meds that would make her hallucinate or anything so in the end I just kind of laughed it off and I was just like it's just us and she just stares at me so I say okay uh if she does it again just yell for me all right and I'll come right
in her room was About 8 ft in front of the nurse station so it wasn't far to get to about a half hour goes by though and she yells see there you go again I got up started walking and I hear the bathroom door shut it had definitely been cracked open just a little bit to give a dark room a little bit of light and I walked in and I say see you're dreaming there's nobody else here she says no she went into the bathroom so I open the door and the light's still on but
there's nobody in There looking confused I say uh what does she look like because I thought someone was just messing around it's too dark to tell I could tell it's a woman but she's so dark that I can't really make her face out and when she says that I get a little weirded out I'll admit but the night ends and eventually I forget about it 3 months go by and I get pulled back down to the same unit at some stage I have the same room as before and this time a Man in his early
60s is the patient nice guy alert and oriented and very polite night's going good it's about 3:00 a.m. and his call like goes off which means that he needs something so I walk in and he says to me uh excuse me you're my nurse right I shake my head yes and then he says well why does that lady keep coming in here and standing in the corner what is she doing I almost crapped myself instantly this was 3 months later Same room and same thing I said to him uh honestly sir I think it's a
ghost and he just laughs and I say you're not the first one to say that after this I started telling everyone about it and then I found out that the entire second floor has a nurse that's seen every once in a while I heard that in the 1990s a nurse who worked up there apparently shot herself on the second floor bathro room because allegedly she was stressed out and had some Problems so I was in a lonely and quite vulnerable time within my life back then I was looking for a good time and just wanted
to be with someone I was a bit shaken up for maybe a week after it happened but I eventually got over it and I moved on with my life so there was this young young and really attractive dude or so I thought whose profile I came across I was about 20 at the time we spoke and we exchanged pics and messages we planned to meet up and he Gave me his address and later in the day I took anuba to that address I was standing around for hours it was really dark and was getting late
in the night I had previously knocked on the door of the address and then resorted to standing around near the address to see if I'd get a message or response or anything but I didn't get get anything I sent him so many messages with no responses and quite honestly I was really disappointed but I didn't give Him trouble about it I was more so disappointed about the wasted Uber money than I was with him because it wasn't exactly the cheapest ride there and back the next day though on the dating app that I was using
he sent me stories about something happening with someone in his family I don't exactly remember it but thinking back I can't believe I actually believed him when he told me I felt just so stupid but that same day as we were talking all was forgiven and we Just chalk it up to sometimes bad stuff happens and we plan to meet up again at a much earlier time this time so I came to the same address and as I'm knocking in the door I don't get a response and I look around this time I see an
old man sitting in a black car across the street from the house and he's just kind of staring at me the creepy thing though was that he was staring as if I was candy or something that he just couldn't Resist and he just had to have me I waited around a bit longer the old man is still there just staring at me and I get a little bit uncomfortable and kind of worried too and that was when it hit me he was that young and really attractive dude that I'd been talking to this entire time
I didn't know what to do upon the realization but I wasn't going to confront him or anything I just remember being really angry followed by sadness and I got an uba to go back I Blocked him on the app after sending him a nasty message I don't know if he saw it or not before I blocked him but I didn't care but he didn't stop there because he followed the Uber that I was in I kept a watchful eye out for his car and I was pretty damn terrified but was relieved that he ended up
losing us on the highway I never did see him again after that but I'll never forget the disgusting and snarky look that he had on his face as he was kind of staring at Me just seemingly so proud of what he did I couldn't think straight for a solid week after that the wasted money the emotional trauma and just the the pure anger I learned an important lesson about being safer and dating apps after that and teaching myself that sometimes we're just vulnerable and we shouldn't get so caught up in that this happened in the
summer of 2010 when I was just entering my teenage years and my family took a trip to a really nice Hotel in the city I can't really remember why we decided to take the trip in the first place but I remember a lot of family members coming with and staying in adjacent rooms I've never asked my parents and it's not really important to the story but to preface I'm a b B of a scaredy cat and always have been I'm a pretty skinny fragile kid so I get spooked pretty easily even now this however was
almost definitely not me freaking myself Out like I normally did looking back I think I'm incredibly lucky that I trusted my instincts so this hotel had a a really strange design to it the lobby was actually on the fourth floor and not the bottom floor which I found strange to access the lobby you had to use the elevator there was no way for you to get to it from the stairs and this information would have been nice before everything happened as you'll find out The hotel was organized in a square shape every floor was lined
with a balcony and you could look down into the lobby in the cafe area from your floor essentially if you were walking to your room you could be seen from anyone that was on your floor if they just stepped out of their room and looked around I always was a afraid that I'd fall over this balcony and sail down eight stories to my death but they were high enough to a point where I wasn't too concerned for My safety or anything so the first day or two was nice but my friends and I just hung
out and played cards all day or we watched whatever was on TV at night we explore the halls of the hotel and tell each other ghost stories all in all it was actually a really fun time even though I didn't fully understand why we were there but on the third day things just got pretty strange quickly so I woke up to the sound of screaming coming from Outside of my door now because of the hotel's design that I mentioned sounds from the lobby would Echo all the way up to the top of the building so
when I walked outside to investigate I immediately looked over the balcony to see what the commotion was about and I saw a girl laying on the ground eggs and milk splattered everywhere around her people were rushing to help her and I heard a couple of people telling each other to call 911 it seemed like the Girl was unconscious maybe maybe she'd passed out or something I couldn't quite tell but I scan the lobby and saw that my family and a couple of my friends were in the lobby getting breakfast all staring at the event in
front of them I decided that I'd Rush down to meet them to find out what had happened the elevator was on the opposite side of the floor so I took the stairwell located right next to my room we were on the seventh or the eighth floor so I knew I Only had to take about four flights down I think not a big deal I descended for a little while looking for the number four on the wall or the letter L I passed four five ready to find a door to the lobby and it took about
two more flights of steps before realizing that there hadn't been a door for the fourth floor nor had there been a door for the third or the second now at this point I probably should have turned back but I continued Down because I was tired and didn't want to climb back up there were some weird side hallways that went into the pitch black areas that a bunch of piping and wiring were at and though I was curious to explore I just kind of passed them by I quickly hit the bottom floor a dimly lit and
cold room with cinder block walls and concrete floors in front of me was a set of double doors I hesitated at first but I assumed that this was just another way back to the lobby so I Opened them and entered behind the door though was a a massive Warehouse type room probably the size of a a small basketball stadium the only light that came in was from the stairwell behind me so I really wasn't able to see too much but the stairs were stacked and covered in plastic wrap tables Lin the wall and in the
distance I thought that I could see boxes stacked and lined against the wall as well it was probably the storage room for the Hotel I reasoned I looked around and saw an elevator in the back of the room so I made my way towards it I closed the door to the stairwell and began to walk in the dim light but the room was super muggy and Dusty and it seemed like nobody had been down there in a really long time as I got closer to the elevator I noticed that it was a little bigger than
the elevators in the lobby in the other fls might press the up button but got no response there was a Card swiper next to the bottom it must have been for the employees only I thought I turned back towards the stairwell doors making my way past the chairs and the tables along the wall when I got to the door and I gave it a tug and it was locked of course but this is when things started to really hit me I realized that I was stuck in the dark and Dusty basement of a hotel I
didn't have a phone because my parents wouldn't let me get one until I graduated middle School so I couldn't call anyone everyone likely assumed that I was still asleep in the room so I began to freak out believing that nobody was going to look for me I searched around the warehouse looking for other ways out that some of the areas were better lit than others so I looked around in those areas that I could see first before starting in the darker side of the rooms there was one other set of doors that I found but
it happened to be locked as Well and it was at this stage that I began to cry and I was scared that nobody would ever find me in this basement I swear too that it felt like hours but I think only a handful of minutes passed before I heard the Door Creek open and it wasn't the door from the stairwell though rather it was the second door that I'd found and a slim middle-aged man in a labco came out of the doors now if this was 21-year-old me Seeing this man I would have been very
confused as to why this guy was wearing a lab coat in a hotel I was only 12 or 13 at the time though so I immediately was relieved at the sight of an adult who looked smart so I approached him tears on my eyes and he immediately look surprised to see me as you'd expect hey what are you doing down here he yelled uh I got lost on my way down to the lobby and I've been locked in here do you have a key I was shaking eager to Get out of there he didn't answer
my question and instead he said I know a way out of here follow me he began to walk me towards the doors with the stairwell and I followed reliev that some somebody had finally come to save me we approached the doors and I began to reach for the handle but he continued walking hey uh isn't it right here I asked him I'll never forget the look in his face when I said that too because he looked nervous and though it Was dim I could see sweat glistening from his forehead and behind his glasses no this
way he said sternly I continued to follow him but I was now nervous myself he had passed the door to the stairs and we were now headed toward a a darker side of the basement away from the elevators he looked like he had no clue where he was leading me too as he kept checking around him almost as if he was taking in his surroundings for the first Time we turned a corner though and began walking towards the boxes and it was a dead end I immediately froze realizing that something was very very wrong this
guy had no idea where he was going nor did he appear to work at the hotel so I said my voice shaking okay uh where are we going he turned and then said this way just follow me I knew that there were no doors by these boxes I had checked there First after I found out the stairwell door was locked and I want to thank whatever God is up there for gifting me with the idea a that I had next I started yelling as loud as I could I yelled so loud in fact that I
gave myself a headache after this and the man irritated plugging his ears began yelling back at me what are you doing be quiet I continued to yell though and I don't even remember how long I was yelling for but finally the man snapped And began to quickly walk towards me I went in a full Sprint towards the stairwell doors hoping to God that they'd somehow be magically the open he didn't run after me he walked sternly behind me muttering things like stupid [ __ ] and many other kind compliments I was about 5 ft from
the door when somebody burst through my savior a hotel janitor who just so happened to hear the screaming from the stairwell he saw the situation me and some random guy in a Lab coat in a locked basement and immediately told me to get behind him the janitor asked me who the man was and I said that I had no idea that he had come in through the door in the other side of the room and I pointed to the door the janitor quickly radioed into the desk that he had found a child in the basement
and quietly so that I wouldn't hear he said this man came from outside get security or something like that the man in the lab code started Trying to argue with the janitor claiming that he simply was looking for a bathroom the janitor clearly wasn't buying it though and kept saying things like oh yeah wait till security gets here and you can talk to them about it I was standing beside him the whole time trying to take in what was happening confused out of my mind eventually though an employee from the front desk arrived and took
me back up the steps to the lobby where I met with my family who Surprisingly had no idea that I was even missing I told them the story crying and shaking and they hugged me tightly thanking the employee over and over for their help I never did get to thank that janitor though which is a bit of a shame looking back now though I have absolutely no clue what that man was doing in that basement I don't have any information as to what happened afterwards or who he was I know for a fact that the
incident with the girl in The lobby was unrelated something about low blood sugar I'm not sure but I've thought about that day a lot and the only explanation that I can put together is that the door that I'd found in the basement led to the streets of the city where he must have wandered in from or something I have no clue what his intentions were why he was wearing a lab coat of all things or why he chose to pretend to know a way out like he did to be frank I Suppose this could have
just been a a huge misunderstanding of some sort and I just chose a really bad time to get lost but all I know for sure is that if I hadn't have screamed my lungs out like I did I may not have been telling the story the same way or even at all looking as a second grade teacher It's Not Unusual to hear some bizarre stuff but after a while you just pretty much learned to go with it but throughout my career there was really only one student Though that made me rethink teaching at one point
I won't use his real name for privacy reasons obviously so I'll just call him Billy so Billy was just your average second grader I never really had problems with him maybe he'd get up and wander around or shout out in class sometimes but tons of students had little issues here and there like that but then one day I noticed that he was acting a little different than usual it was raining pretty heavy that day and I Recall it being pretty dark and gloomy I had the class pair up in groups for a project and that's
when I saw Billy was still sitting at his table just drawing on some paper I knew that he had friends in class so it couldn't be that he didn't have anybody to work with so I stopped by his desk and told him that it was time to participate in our group project without even looking at me he just said no thanks I'm supposed to finish my drawing I watched him draw for A moment but honestly it didn't look like he was really creating anything just colored shapes and random doodling so I told him that this
wasn't part of any assignment today and he could finish it during his free time but then he looked at me and said well well my teacher said that I have to finish it right now I was taken back a bit not entirely sure what he was talking about I looked around the class all the other students were still pairing up so I sat Next to Billy and gently told him that I was his teacher but I never said that he had to finish this drawing or anything and almost instantly he replied back saying that I
wasn't his teacher anymore Mr Shadow was now as a teacher I could have went along with this story but I didn't want him to think that this idea was okay especially in class so I told him that there was no Mr Shadow at this school and then Billy looked at me in a way that I've never seen him look almost As if he was scared and angry at the same time then he softly whispered to me Mr Shadow is real the way he said it he made it seem so real still looking at him I
asked him where Mr Shadow was he sunk down in his chair and his eyes moved towards the floor and then he whispered out that he was standing behind you in that moment I honestly felt the hairs in the back of my neck raise up but nothing could prepare me for what happened Next as I stood up from Billy's desk I started to tell him that I didn't see him Mr Shadow then Billy quickly covered his eyes with his hands that's when I noticed that the rest of the class room was extremely quiet so I turned
around to face them and all the other students were backed up against the chalkboard and they all looked terrified as if they' just seen a ghost to this day it's been the most unexplainable thing that I've ever [Music] seen so one night maybe almost a year ago now I was waiting for my boyfriend outside of the liquor store I was waiting in the car and it was pretty much dark outside this girl comes up to the car and I hear her say Angela it it caught me off guard as I couldn't really see her so
I don't know how she recognized me but anyway I opened the door slightly because well I thought maybe she was Somebody that I knew but when I did I didn't recognize her at all she made casual conversation with me small talk seemed fairly normal I was very confused obviously but thought maybe it was someone that i' met at a party that I just didn't remember about a week later I got a bunch of weird messages on Instagram though they made no sense whatsoever she sounded either tweaked out or like a paranoid schizophrenic or something I
Went to the profile and looked at the pic and it was that same girl she was typing nonsense and I mean literal nonsense paranoid delusional thoughts that made no sense whatsoever so I brushed it off because whatever right but I'll admit that I was still weirded out anyway a few months later I see her in line at my work I have no idea how she knew where I worked I mean I work at a restaurant similar to Chipotle and I was at the start of where people order And whatnot and when she got to the
front of the line she said hey what time are you off and I said later and didn't give her an exact time obviously she said okay to this and then just walked away didn't order anything or say anything else so I knew then that she was there to see me but once again though I really don't know how she knew that I worked there because I mean I don't put my work on social media or anything after this encounter though I Went on my break to check my phone and I'd received a Instagram message from
her she was saying things like I was going to beat your up and all of this threatening delusional stuff I told my manager and he said that he would walk me to my Uber at the end of the night which he did after this I blocked the Instagram account didn't hear from her for a while at least until a few months ago when I saw in a police report from my city that She had been arrested for attempted murder she had attempted to push two High School CrossCountry Runners over a bridge it's a bridge very
close to my house that's I often cross while walking home from work and it really freaked me out since she had a slight obsession with me I thought wow what if that had been me walking that bridge since I take that route so much luckily the kids fought her off and she was arrested and booked on attempted murder I don't know How long she's going to be in for this is California and I don't know how much sentencing when it comes to stuff like that is but anyway she's in jail for now and I sure
hope that I don't see her in the future [Music] again so I've never really told anyone this story because well I don't think anyone's going to believe me to be honest too I don't even know if I believe Myself I was about 11 or 2002 and I came home from school at 2:30 and stayed alone until my parents got home from work a few hours later my dad around 4:30 and my mom about 6 on this particular afternoon I came into the garage walked around the corner to the foyer where our stairs were to go
up to my room in the foyer we had this sort of cabinet thing that was really old and had a little shelf on the front of it as I pass it I notice a pair of Gloves sitting on the shelf very heavy fur gloves that you'd imagine someone wearing in the winter in the 1800s or something like gloves out of the Revenant I'd never seen them before obviously in my life and it was also summertime so it just made no sense that they would be there but then all of a sudden I heard a distinct
deep cough upstairs I was paralyzed with fear at this point I have no idea why I didn't run as I just quietly sat and listened At the kitchen table but I could hear footsteps of someone quite heavily walking around above me and these weren't just sounds of the house settling this definitely was someone walking around up there anyway my logic at the time was that it was an intruder and if I didn't put up a fight they would just leave without hurting me once they came down and got their weird gloves but I sat there
for quite some time and no one ever came Down after what seemed like days my dad gets home from work and I immediately tell him everything and to come look at the gloves and check upstairs and to my disbelief the gloves are just gone my dad checks everywhere upstairs and there's nothing missing no sign of anyone there and no sign of forced entry anywhere and my dad has always been extremely thorough about home security so there's no way that there was an unlocked door or window basically he Thought that I was just making stuff up
and after that I just never mentioned it again I've not had any other experiences like that ever since then and I generally believe that most everything can be explained the only thing I can think of for this though was that it was a dream but I'm 99% sure that it wasn't and when I asked my Dad recently he said that he remembers coming home to me freaking out about some gloves and a man Upstairs so it definitely happened so my cousin and I went hiking around his property and stumbled on a fire trck about an
inch deep in some mud along the edge of a stream one day just one so we figured that it was a wheelbarrow but the only thing was is that there were no Footprints to indicate that there was somebody pushing the wheelbarrow we followed the fire track and it led us into what I can only Describe as a kind of culdesac of cliffs the only way out was the way that we came or we had to climb about 45 to 60 ft the whole area was covered in mud and we found the wheelbarrow but the only
Footprints were ours there was also a ton of clothes around which was weird all of different sizes and styles everything ranging from kids clothing to adult clothes just kind of scattered everywhere there were also a few dozen figurines car from Stone Around and some put together from tree bark but these were the only things that seemed to be positioned with care the clothes were scattered carelessly but the figurines were standing upright placed at top rocks or on Fallen branches in the side of one of the cliffs was a hole too small for us to fit
in and I was a pretty small kid at that age and honestly we probably wouldn't have even noticed it if not for the sound that came from it that caught Our attention it was like a a hum very short and followed by a click or a scratch sound we shined our lights into the hole and saw that it must have been a 30 ft back into the cliff side the outer layer of stone was reddish brown but the inside was gray the same color as the stone figurines lying around we weren't sure how far back
the hole actually went but we had the bright Idea to throw one of the figurines into the hole and see if we could get it to hit the back so we did I tossed it in and my cousin shined his light and we watched it bounce to the back but the second that it reached the very back what I can only describe as like a curled arm uncurled from some unseen crevice and snatched up the figurine and then just disappeared we didn't see what it belonged to but the color was like a Bluish gray and
after it grabbed the figurine it didn't just pull back out of view it kind of spiraled quickly if I had to describe it it was kind of like a a scorpion tail but with a hand at the end instead of stinger later on my cousin and I brought our uncle back to the place kind of petrified but when we did all the clothes were gone everything except the wheelbarrow and the figurines had vanished and there was still no Footprints the hall still had a humming noise occasionally coming out of it so my uncle called the
police and we ended up meeting with them back at the house and then bringing them to this place they were still only our Footprints but now the figurines were facing the other way this time my cousin has done the classic thing that kids do in movies he taped a camcorder to a remote control car the humming still came from the hole but it became a a Rapid click as the officer and my uncle looked into the hole we eventually convinced them to let us drive the remote control back into the back of the cave and
see if we could record anything back there the hole was actually so small that it was almost too tight to fit the RC car with the camera on top of it but it was just doable my cousin drove it to the back of the hole turned it right turned it left and then turned it around and drove it back and we Watched the footage and it goes in it looks right and there's nothing it turns left and dozens more figurines made of Stoner in the back of the hole just around the corner all of them
facing directly at the car and arranged in perfect lines but aside from that there was nothing no creepy creature with scorpion tail arms or anything just these figurines the cop said that they would look more into it and let us know if They found anything worth telling us about but the following morning my cousin and I woke up to one of the figurines sitting on the edge of his dresser next to his Nintendo 64 he swears that he didn't take one so does my uncle and I know that I didn't so unless one of them's
lying it showed up on its own or it was placed there by whatever was in that [Music] hole well working a large crafting store In California and have been there for a year and 8 months now and last year we hired a guy and his name is Hayden Hayden was a little quiet on the first day but quickly became more talkative and over the next couple of weeks started to pretty much never stop talking he would constantly say weird stuff and one day he was put in charge of the building Furniture our store carry stuff
like furniture and home decor and stuff like that he was Apparently having difficulty assembling the table that he was working on and said something about cutting his wrists if he can't figure out how to put it together another time we were both working in the stock room and he just kept talking about how much he looked like the Parkland shooter Nicholas Cruz I'll admit that he did in fact look like that kid which was really creepy but I remember one day that I got enough work and was waiting for my ride to pick me Up
when out of nowhere Hayden just walked up behind me he just stood there with an awkward smile on his face and I politely asked him what's up and he said something to the effect of oh nothing much just enjoying my lunch break I'm thinking about going inside Taco Bell right across the parking lot from our work and just shanking someone he pretty much laughed at this and said that he was joking but when my wife picked me up we saw him walking towards the Taco Bell And just flashed us this creepy ass ear to ear
smile so the last draw for me though was when he and I were assigned to work our spring Freight and get it loaded up on a large ubo our shift started at 7:00 a.m. and was over at noon it was 11: and we still hadn't finished our task because Hayden just wouldn't stop goofing around he would also work very slowly on purpose and would only take one item to the U bird at once our boss came to Where we were working and was upset that we weren't done yet he told us that we would both
get ridden up if the job wasn't finished before we were off and I was pissed off at this point and Hayden knew it he seemed to feel bad for pretty much getting me into trouble and even apologized but he then said something that really concerned me he said in the most serious tone that I've ever heard him speak in since meeting him if I get fired I'll shoot this place up he went On to say that he knew where all the emergency exits are and would first shoot up all the cashiers and then move on
to the other employees in the store as well I'll admit that I didn't immediately report what he said but it definitely had me on edge and I kept thinking about what if after some convincing from my wife I finally did the right thing and my informed my manager they took a written report from me and contacted the police and after Two more days of working with Hayden he was eventually fired and subsequently arrested for his threats the week after he got arrested my boss held a meeting with the entire staff and told everyone what happened
after everyone left the meeting he pulled me aside and revealed to me what the police and Hayden talked about during the interrogation I don't completely remember what was said but Hayden apparently admitted that he said what he Said and kept asking if I had been the one who reported him fast forward to a few weeks ago and I was working at the same store still am and I was heading to the break room for my final break when I Heard a Voice from one of the aisles to the left my man was standing next to
the paint case and asked if I could get him some paint while I was opening the case he addressed me by my name which I immediately thought was weird because I Wasn't wearing my name tag on this particular day out of curiosity I asked him how he knew my name and he said that it was just a lucky guess to which I thought that was BS mainly because his tone of voice seemed sarcastic the entire time I was getting his paint he was just staring at me with a smirk on his face he then began
to ask me questions about my name which is the same name of a popular TV show character he asked what year I was born why my Parents decided to give me that name Etc at this point I started to walk away and as I had other things to do and the whole time I was walking away he was still trying to talk to me and I heard him yelling my name from three aisles down I went and stood in the warehouse until I thought that it was gone and later that same day one of my
co-workers asked me if I knew the who was buying the paint and I told her that I didn't she told me that he had approached her And asked her all kinds of questions about me like if I'm a good coworker and if she likes me and stuff like that this is an ongoing issue too is he's come into the store two other times one being yesterday during my day off and apparently asked where I was I don't know for sure but I suspect that this guy might be cousins with Hayden as that they sort of
look alike and have similar manner too anyway tonight I worked the closing Shift and was outside getting carts after the store closed at 8:00 p.m. when two SUVs pulled into the parking lot one of them parked behind the store and the other one parked in the main parking lot I was standing in front of the entrance doors when a man dressed in all black and wearing a hood stepped out of one of the SUVs another guy walked up next to him and they both started approaching the store I politely told them that we were Closed
and when I looked down I noticed a large baseball bat in the hoodie guy's hand I started repeatedly ringing the bell to be let back inside and these two guys were just pacing back and forth in the lot staring right at me my manager eventually let me in and called the police as well but the guys were obviously long gone by then but I know that this could be a totally unrelated incident
