parents had just recently started entrusting me to be home alone overnight the only condition was I couldn't leave the house or have anyone over but I was fine with that something about being able to blast my music or video games without my dad yelling at me was just exhilarating to make things even better it was a rainy night which turned into a thunderstorm I sat outside under the a for a while watching the thunderstorm as I like to do I've always loved thunderstorms as they just make staying in so much more cozy after a while

of watching The Storm I moved my Xbox from my room to the downstairs Den TV my dad's huge flat screen TV with the Bose sound system the only time I'd get to game on there was when I was home alone and I loved it the den was a half flight of stairs down from the living room level and it was level with the backyard so the backyard door was in the den I'm describing the house in past tense because I moved out but my parents do still live there so I was playing Black Ops down

in the den with the volume blasting I was playing online multiplayer in a party with my friend Cody I had some crappy old headset which the only audio you could hear was other people in the lobby and game talking for a 13-year-old standards it was the perfect night until something interrupted my piece the sound of the doorbell it was past 9:00 by then I told Cody the doorbell rang and he said I should go check and see who it was I wondered if maybe it was my parents back home early but they had the keys

so they wouldn't ring the doorbell I hid in a spot in the game where I wouldn't get killed then I went upstairs to the front door asking who's there I didn't realize how much of a mistake that would be a male's voice on the other side said I need to use a phone I didn't know what to do so I didn't answer and went back downstairs but it was too late the damage was done and I let who whoever was out there know I was home I told Cody about it and his reaction was simply

yo what the [ __ ] he agreed with me that I shouldn't open the door but the doorbell rang again Cody said to ignore it that was the last time I heard the doorbell and after a while I relaxed again as it seemed whoever was out there had left I can't explain the roller coaster of emotions I felt that night one moment I'm on edge the next I'm relaxed and back into the fantasy world of my game and then as I was most at ease I heard something to my right and when I looked I

saw the back door closing and some tall man stepping inside it was not my dad it was a stranger I dropped the controller and ran for the office door and the court to the headset quickly ripped out of the controller I made it to the office and slammed the door shut and I'm by no means exaggerating when I say the second after I locked the door the door handle aggressively shook as the man on the other side tried opening the door the the office had two doors in it one that led to the den and

one that led to the garage my only chance to escape the house was to go through the garage but before even moving I just stood still waiting for something to happen on the other side of the door seconds felt like minutes the man knocked on the door and said little boy I just need to use your phone I was stranded out in the rain his knocks turned to pounds as his voice got louder and angrier sounding it gradually turned to yelling and pounding he yelled open the [ __ ] door you little [ __ ]

as it sounded like he was literally trying to break down the door I had no choice but to go through the garage I pressed the button to open the garage door and it was so loud and slow to open that I prayed the man couldn't hear it as soon as it was up about halfway I crawled under and ran through the storm a few doors down to our neighbor Julian's house who I knew well because I used to play with his dog Copper when I was little I heard copper barking as I rang the bell

looking back in my house hoping not to see someone coming down the block Julian opened the door and I ran into his arms begging him for help as his wife came out of the kitchen in confusion when I told them of the break-in their demeanors instantly changed Julian got the police on the phone and handled getting them to my parents house it was a long long wait before the police were outside and Steve and I went out to them I told them the same thing I told Steve and after they asked which door was unlocked

I said the garage a couple of them went through the garage into the house and after maybe 5 minutes they came outside with a man in handcuffs they made sure he didn't see my face after he was in a police car they asked me if I knew that man and I said no of course I don't know that man he had been telling the officers that this was his house and that I was his son I could tell he was drunk or high or just generally crazy based on the things he was yelling and the

way he was acting he was brought to jail and my parents had to be contacted regarding how they wished to proceed deed and they pressed charges his name was John mccardy he got charged for I believe Criminal Trespass it didn't make me feel any safer that that man would one day be out and know where I lived thankfully it was just a random chance encounter I don't believe he specifically targeted me or our house so whenever he was released he didn't come back [Music] I never thought in a million years that anything truly horrific would

ever happen to me I'm an average person with a boring enough life that anything out of the ordinary was really out of the ordinary this is why I was always okay with watching or listening to those creepy pasta and true horror stories on YouTube I still do watch them often but after my own experience these stories scared me in a whole new way it was late at night I'd say around 4:00 a.m. but I don't really know for sure and everyone else in my house was asleep my mother and both of my grandparents for the

past 2 months or so we get at least one major thunderstorm per week and it just so happened that this one decided to start earlier that night now I always enjoy a good thunderstorm especially at night when you can go sit by window and just watch the lightning but something about the wind of them always creeped me out maybe the fact that it could be soft or deafening and switch between the two almost instantly but for some reason wind has always given me huge creeps now this night's thunderstorm was one of the worst we'd had

in a long time it sounded like rocks were hitting my window all night but I was enjoying listening to it while I browsed Reddit as I do when all of a sudden the power went out in the blink of an eye this was kind of creepy but I didn't really mind because I had my data and a decent charge on my phone so I continued browsing after a little while I started to get tired so I figured it was time to shut my phone off and get some sleep I placed it on the side table

next to me and rolled over to go to sleep I guess I passed out shortly after because I don't remember anything in between the rain hammering at my window and the Eerie Silence of a soft wind outside I assumed the rain stopped while I was asleep I rolled over to get more comfortable because my side was hurting and then I realized just how parched for water I was I took a few minutes to try and fall back asleep again but it didn't happen my mouth was just too dry I sat up grabbed my phone and

turned on the flashlight so I could have a source of light to the kitchen and grab a glass of water water and go back to bed as I opened my bedroom door I was smacked in the face with a blast of cold air it was freezing in the living room I quickly threw on a sweater and continued to the kitchen as I was nearing it I could hear the wind becoming louder and the temperature become colder I reached the kitchen and walked in grabbed a glass from the cupboard and started to fill it with water

from the top I took a quick glance around the kitchen and noticed something weird the door to the patio was left open naturally I was weirded out by this and a little scared thinking of how that could happen I ended up rationalizing to myself that my grandfather must have left it open earlier that night and just forgot about it I walked over to the sliding door glanced over my shoulder out of paranoia and slid it shut and locked it I fast walked back to my room just in case I opened my door and closed it

behind me and then laid back down in bed my glass of water on my side table and flashlight still in hand I was able to calm myself down slightly enough to turn off the flashlight and try to get some shuye something inside of me wasn't letting me forget the possibility that there might be someone in my house I got back out of bed again and slid my chair from my desk to my door in an attempt to keep someone out I then checked the closet again just in case I laid back down again and kept

my flashlight on as a sort of NightLight this time then the most disturbing thing that's ever happened to me occurred I felt a slight bump come from under my bed accompanied by a creek of the bed springs I then realized I hadn't checked under my bed like an idiot it felt like I was going to vomit and I leaned off the side of my bed and peered underneath I saw the disturbing sight of an extremely unhealthily skinny woman with bloodshot eyes and yellow teeth staring back at me she was smiling an ungodly grin that I

still can't get out of my head she stared at me for at least 3 seconds while I was still trying to process what I was seeing before she I swear to God cackled like a [ __ ] witch at this point my whole brain was screaming nope and I leapt out of my bed towards my door moved the chair as fast as possible and sprinted down the hall to my grandparents room I banged on the door as loud as I could while calling for my grandfather he was out within seconds and he had a gun

in his hand something he had never even mentioned having in the house we ran to my room him in front of my grandmother and I and we just barely caught a glimpse of a white figure running away from the bedroom window my grandfather took a shot presuming as a warning to tell them to never come back we didn't end up calling the police because we figured they wouldn't be able to do anything since we don't have security cameras or have any idea who she even was all I can guess was that this woman was dangerously

ill and saw my bedroom light on before the power went out I have no idea what her intentions were or if she even knew what she was doing we're getting the windows and doors in the house installed with locks sometime the next week just for safety and all I can say say is even if you live in a safe area or a trusted Community bad things still can and do happen and you always have to take precautions against such [Music] things it was August my girl Cass and I went Upstate for a little weekend getaway

at my family's rustic mobile home it has running water electricity and a toilet so we call it luxury camping the home is very small about 600 square ft one bedroom one pullout couch in the living room one bathroom and a very small kitchen despite its remote location there's lots to do including archery shooting dirt biking and off-roading we had a whole little itinerary planned for the weekend Friday we mostly just unpacked and went out to eat went grocery shopping then relaxed Saturday we did most of the stuff I just mentioned before until it started getting

really cloudy after like storm clouds we also could feel it in the air that a big storm was brewing so we put all the stuff we took out back into the out building we put a movie into the DVD player as we cooked dinner at some point while we were eating we heard the sudden torrential downpour of rain on the roof of the home pretty soon there were loud thunderous crashes of lightning almost directly overhead we both wanted to go sit outside and enjoy it as we ate we relaxed on the deck outside Under The

Canopy with an amazing amazing view of the sky long bolts of lightning constantly lit up the Dark Knight Sky the Thunder booming almost instantly after the lightning strikes we were right in the heart of the storm and then we heard something out in the woods it was a voice a loud voice seemingly calling out something but it was nowhere near discernible so the place is really remote like I said hearing any other voices nearby would already set off alarms in normal conditions but during a storm like this it was EX extremely concerning we had to

assume that it was a lost hiker or something I stepped over to the edge of the deck getting a little wet as the rain blew in under the edge of the canopy with the constant crashing of thunder and lightning there were moments of light in the vicinity that allowed me to see just far enough away to the tree line where the woods began there was a person out there clear as day I told Cass and she instantly freaked out thinking I was joking and telling me to stop I could Ed calling out asking if they

needed help but decided against it on the grounds that I was kind of scared this weekend was my idea though and I did kind of drag Cass up here I didn't want to ruin the experience freaking her out I went back to her and said I think it's a hiker she asked if we should offer some help and I said not unless they come knocking on the door I told her we should go inside and I nudged her in I went back over to the edge of the deck just out of curiosity I got even

wetter as I looked around until I spotted added something it looked like a person again much closer to the deck like a lot closer only about 20 ft away now I continued to look until a quick flash of lightning briefly exposed a man standing there confirming my suspicion he was wearing bright colors it almost looked white he was just standing still that was the scariest part he wasn't even approaching the deck or anything I went inside and quickly locked the door Cassidy saw the worry in my face I felt my heart racing and I almost

felt nauseous I'm sure I almost stuttered as I said I don't know who that is and then I saw the worry in cass's eyes worsen I did my best to keep her calm telling her to expect someone knocking on the door asking for help I said they probably just need Shelter From The Storm I tell you it was the longest 5 minutes ever just sitting and listening to the pouring rain and lightning outside before we felt and heard the footsteps outside on the deck even over the sound of the storm the home doesn't have a

doorbell so we expected a knock on the door but instead there was this weird shuffling sound on the other side of the lone wooden door it sounded like attempts at opening it it was at this point that the worry I had been feeling had peaked I think I felt an adrenaline rush at this point Cass was already in the bedroom hiding at this point and she was quietly calling for me to come the noises at the door stopped but there was never a single knock I went to the bedroom and told Cass to just remain

quiet while I'll be back in the room in a second I wanted to look out the window I went back to the living room and turned off the lamp I took a second to just breathe before yanking the curtain open I looked out the window and I saw the white figure of the man running away from the window and quickly disappearing I didn't know what was going on I hoped that they ran away for good to be safe I went to the kitchen window and looked out this one didn't have a curtain or blind I

realized about halfway to the window that there was a face on the other side I could see it even through the blur created by the rain on the window I yelled at the top of my lungs yo go away trying to sound scary they didn't move now when I say this I know it sounds incredibly cliche but we don't have Wii in the home and the cell reception is very on and off during a storm like this there was no reception at all for either of us there was my dad's rifle under the bed in

the bedroom though I left the kitchen and hurried to the bedroom where Cass was sitting in the bed by her nails on edge I grabbed the rifle under the bed from its case since we hadn't yet taken it out there was a magazine already loaded with rounds thankfully so I popped the mag in the rifle doing this in front of Cass obviously meant I was no longer sugar coating what was going on but it didn't matter because there was suddenly a bang at the bedroom window something was either thrown or someone straight up banged their

hand on it and then a second later there was a Bang from another window out in the living room or kitchen it was more than one person this had gone far enough at this point I told Cassidy to wait in the bedroom I went to the front door and positioned myself to be ready to potentially fire at anyone on the other side of the door should they rush me I quietly unlocked the door and when I was close enough to mentally ready I yanked the door open and Drew my rifle up pointing at the door

no one was there and so I hurried outside with adrenaline controlling my actions and spun around quickly to ensure no no one was on the deck then I went to the stairway and looked down and there was that guy in bright colored clothes standing where he was before outside the window apparently trying to look scary he looked up at me he already knew I was outside but I doubt he knew I had a gun I shot the rifle into the air and I heard the guy yell in a deep voice oh [ __ ] as

he ran away into the darkness I heard at least two fading yelling voices likely communicating to each other and then it was just the sound of the storm again I don't know how many people were out there at least two maybe even three it could have been teenagers playing some [ __ ] up prank or it could have been some really messed up people trying to scare us and break in I don't play around like that though if anyone came up that deck while I was outside I would have shot them dead they were not

there seeking help and that is a 100% certainty the next day was Sunday and so we packed up and left there were no signs of anything having been done to my car or the home or anything from the night before I made sure to lock everything up and take anything of particular value home this time out of all the years of my family owning the place that was the only encounter like this any of us had ever had it really put a bad taste in my mouth about the place and being in an isolated place

I've been up there a few times since with my family but I would never ever go alone
