3 Scary True Vacation Stories (Vol. 3)

[Music] my girlfriend and I love skiing it's how we met so last year during both of our vacation times the air B&B to one-bedroom cabin in Colorado by Vail Mountain one of my friends told us getting a private cabin was a lot more cozy peaceful and romantic after landing at the airport we taxi to a rental car place and rented a Honda Civic probably the cheapest car we could get we drove a constant uphill through the sludge on the roads until we pulled off the main road onto a more Foresti side road eventually we made

it to the cabin far and isolated from anyone else but not too far we're getting to the mountain would be a pain in the ass the owner left the key hidden in the mailbox as soon as I unlock the door and we stepped inside it we got a huge whiff of I guess wood it literally smelled exactly how you'd expect a lot of cabin to smell it wasn't huge but it was spacious enough one bedroom one bathroom decent living room with a TV and a kitchen I was paying chump change for it so I was

more than happy with it plus we were there to ski and not sit around the cabin we got there towards the end of the day so we didn't hit the slopes that night we actually just unloaded and got right back on the road to pick up a pizza for dinner we got back and eating on the couch in the living room while watching a movie with the dark moody lighting and the whole log cabin atmosphere it actually was quite romantic I told my girlfriend started freaking out about her bag apparently it wasn't where she left

it which was on the coffee table in the living room I helped her look around though there wasn't much space to search she was absolutely positive she left it on the coffee table it wasn't in the bathroom kitchen or living room so I checked the bedroom and sure enough it was sitting right next to the bed I picked it up and brought it to the doorway of the bedroom with a smirk on my face my girlfriend didn't seem as relieved as I thought she would be though she accused me of moving it and going through

her bag which I found downright and seen we had a bit of an argument until I convinced her that she in fact put her bag in there and that she had just forgotten we went back to eating and watching the movie and we got over the argument quickly the next day we had the slopes from early morning till dusk he stopped on the way back to the cabin to get dinner again when we returned back to the cabin we both immediately noticed the living room light was on my girlfriend was slightly freaking out I told

her to chill the front door was still locked so that confirmed nobody had broken in I thought obviously one of us left the light on by mistake and didn't notice earlier because it was bright out so once again we ate our food and watched a movie when suddenly out of nowhere my girlfriend shrieked I jumped up and looked at her she had one hand covering her mouth the other pointing at something on the ground at first I didn't see it but when I got up confused and moved closer I saw it it was a pair

of somewhat fresh boot marks in the rug in the corner of the living room the snow from the boots had melted into wet stains in the area rug obviously both of us wore boots but I just didn't remember stepping over there my girlfriend asked me to check around the cabin to make her feel safe so I did I peeped under the kitchen table behind the living room couch in the bathroom and I took a peep in the bedroom there didn't appear to be anyone in the cabin there were in really many places to hide anyway

still she was scared and seemed to lose all interest in the movie she went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth then went to the bedroom to change and I heard her jump into bed so I did all the scene I climbed into bed and shut the light and we sat there for a while just talking it was actually only like 9 or 10 p.m. my girlfriend kept letting me know how uncomfortable she was thinking someone was in the cabin so I told her ok just wait one second I took out my phone and dialed

the Airbnb host I put the phone up to my ear and heard it ring I don't mean the ring coming from the phone speaker I meant I heard a loud muffled ringing coming from behind the wall next to the bed the ringing stopped as soon as I saw my call was rejected my girlfriend started screaming oh my god I told her to calm down as I got up and approached the wall to the left they noticed an ever so slight crack in the wall that looked like it could be a door my girlfriend screamed at

me not to open it I got myself angry yelled and pulled open the door there I was faced with a small hidden closet and inside and a man hiding behind a cardboard box in the corner it was the host the owner of the cabin I had seen his picture on the listing I'll admit I jumped and screamed in fear and shock when I saw him but anger overcame me and I grabbed him by his shirt and pull them out I knew he looks creepy based on his picture he had his hands off apologizing I told

him to shut up I looked deeper in the closet and to my disgust found some of my girlfriend's underwear took way too long for the police to arrive but he was arrested we had to spend the rest of that night at a hotel and the next day we went home I requested compensation from air B&B and it's a month for them to refund me but they eventually did the story was so bizarre and disturbing I don't even expect everyone to believe it when I tell it but it was all too real when my best friend

Lizzie and I were 18 we went on our first vacation alone together to London we were staying at the London Marriott hotel the first thing we did upon arrival was of course to get there and drop off all our luggage we'd be there for a whole week so we had to set our itinerary it was late in the day already so we didn't have much time that day but we did want to see something at least so we went to see Big Ben which is that iconic big clock tower that everyone knows in pictures when

you think of London after that we went to a nearby tavern for dinner called st. Stephen's tavern it was money but good thing our dads were paying for this trip after leaving the tavern it was like 9 o'clock and we were wanting to go out and experience the nightlife we agreed we'd first have to go back to the hotel and shower and change first as we were walking a young attractive man overheard us talking about the nearby bars we were looking at on our phones and he stopped us something about him immediately was just charming

that grabs both my and Lizzie's attention and if it weren't for that maybe we wouldn't have been so receptive to him telling us about a big apartment party that one of his rich friends was throwing that night and that two attractive ladies like ourselves wouldn't fit right in Lizzie and I looked at each other and laughed we said we'd be down and he said great the party doesn't start till 11:00 he asked for my number so I gave it to him then he said he'd text me the details and see us later and down the

street he walked Lizzie and I were super excited it was only the first night and we were already invited to a crazy London party we figured if we played our cards right with the wealthy people at this apartment party we would have people to hang out with the rest of the trip we got back to the hotel showered and changed and we pre gamed with a little vodka first to loosen ourselves up think we drank more than we should have though I texted the guy we met realizing we didn't even get his name he texted

back quickly with the address to the apartment so we loudly marched into the street to wait for our uber it was a 15 minute uber drive to get to the apartment and when we got there we couldn't believe how different the architecture of this apartment building was compared to something back home in America I pressed the code for the apartment and we were quickly buzzed in we took the elevator to the fifth floor we were excited but nervous not knowing what to expect the alcohol was definitely helping though I knocked on the door to the

apartment but we didn't hear music inside which was odd you were nervous we had the wrong apartment until the young man from earlier opened the door he hugged us hello and welcome Dustin so this is dead quiet apartment he shut the door and we asked where is everyone he said oh it's still early don't worry we looked around the apartment and it was not at all as big as we were expecting for an apparent rich guy we asked where his friend who owned the apartment was the man said he was getting things ready in his

room he told us to sit and make ourselves comfortable remember looking at my phone and seeing it was like 11:30 Lizzie and I sat down and I could tell by her face she was as put off by this as I was the man sat down on the same couches us next to me he was uncomfortably close suddenly another man came out from another room he didn't say anything he didn't smile he just looked at us as he walked towards the door to the apartment and he just stood there the man on the couch with us

started asking us questions like where we were from and if there was just us two visiting here I started feeling sick to my stomach the man next to us got up and went to the kitchen to get us some drinks the man by the door stood there Lizzi was to the left of me so she was more hidden from view I whispered in her ear to dial nine-one-one she did so and I noticed her tapping on the phone multiple times indicating to the call taker that we needed help Lizzi then suddenly called out loudly to

the man in the kitchen this is apartment 5c right the man at the door said yes in a deep unfriendly voice I whispered to Lizzi again that we needed to stall and not to drink any drinks the man gave us as I was whispering to Lizzy the man standing at the door I called to the man in the kitchen to hurry up with the drinks and then he came back from the kitchen with the drinks I had to think on my feet to stall as long as possible before drinking whatever he just said in front

of us I put on a fake and bubbly persona and said we should play would you rather I know it sounds juvenile but I had to think of a game that didn't involve drinking the man seemed to play along with him so me and Lizzy started coming up with would you rather questions and he started coming up with some of his own but he would often suggest we take a sip of our drinks saying the guests would be there soon and that we needed to loosen up some more I stalled for as long as I

could saying we already drank a lot but we'd be down to drink more in a little bit I remember when things were about to turn really south the two men looked at each other then the bigger scarier man at the door came over and said all right drink your drinks he was about to reach for one of the glasses - probably force in my face and there was an aggressive banging at the door followed by a man shouting police the younger man looked at us and asked did you call the police I said no why

and when would we but my voice cracked as I said this indicating I was nervous Lizzy apparently just decided the hell with my story and screamed help the police started to attempt to kick the door down but the bigger man screamed alright alright and opened the door with his hands up the two men tried playing innocent Lizzy and I had to fabricate the story a little bit saying the two men basically forced us into the apartment and wouldn't let us leave and we were pretty sure they drugged our drinks that was enough to get the

men arrested a second police car arrived to escort us to the station for further questioning the drinks were tested and it turned out to no surprise they were roofied this was definitely a scarring experience but we didn't let it ruin our trip to London in fact we never told our parents until years later just because it would probably make them less likely to let us travel anymore the alcohol definitely didn't help our initial decision-making in the night but our advice would probably be don't ever trust strangers no matter what they look like [Music] when I

was 14 my parents took us on a trip to a family resort it was in the middle of nowhere and it was the most country-ish old style resort you could ever imagine every building was made of wood there were big creepy bugs crawling around the inside of the resort halls all smelled like cigarettes I felt too old to be in there with my family especially since I'm the only boy out of my siblings and my sisters were 9 and 5 at the time I tried looking for teens my age to make friends with but it

really seemed like it was just families with younger kids however I met this girl who was 15 we met in the little arcade hall when I was with my two sisters she came up to me and said hey as it turned out she was staying here with her family too and she wasn't having a good time either so we started to hang out she seems kind of cool a little strange had somewhat Goffe vibes to her her name was ELISA the next day I ran into her again as I was passing by the pool she

waved me over and she said let's go for a walk in the woods by the river as we did I tried to get to know her more I asked her what building her room was in she hesitated before her answer and then said the one next to the main hall it was a vague answer we sat by the river for a while and I got to admit she started talking about some weird dark stuff I won't get into it but I started to think she had some issues then she looked up at me and said

can we go to your room I lit up with excitement inside it I was a fourteen year old boy hormones raging so obviously I said yes with a little too much excitement in me imagining the best-case scenario we got close to my room and she asked for the car to open the door and she ran ahead to open it we sat on my bed for a few minutes that was a bit awkward so I didn't know how to make a move or if to make a move she started talking about deep dark stuff again though

how she hated her family you know she had no more friends how she likes the feel of blood whatever that meant then out of nowhere she flicked open a huge switchblade and looked at me she told me sometimes she thinks about using this on herself or someone else that was the moment this went from weird to disturbing this wasn't going where I thought it was it was actually going in a much darker scarier direction the way she looked at me with the knife flicked open was scaring me she looked at me and said do you

want to use this knife on someone here I thought over my answer and said I don't know I have to think about it obviously I would never this girl's true psychotic nature had just come out and I had to play it safe I said we should go back outside and walk around she said okay so we went back outside and walked around the resort grounds I watched the way she looked at people passing by staring them down not caring when they would notice luckily I saw my parents straight ahead and I said oh shoot there's

my parents I should probably go hang out with them Melissa looked a little bit annoyed well she said was okay I said SIA and she just looked at me I went to my family and for the rest of the day and night I stayed with them hoping to not run into that freaky girl again that night we got back to the room around 9:00 this resort had huge rooms so basically I had my own room that was attached to my parents and sister's room but it also had its own door into the hall anyway it

went to sleep or at least tried to half an hour into laying in bed I heard the beep from the door unlocking and then the door to my room opening and closing by the time I fully looked up the door was shut the light from the hall was gone I saw someone standing in front of the door though who is it I said I heard a familiar girls voice I want blood i sat up and remembered I never got my key card back for Melissa she planned this she approached my bed in the dark with

something in her left hand because she had it lifted she said it again I want blood will you help me where will I get it from you I'm not ashamed to admit it I screamed like a goddamn girl she still stood there she didn't charge at me she didn't run at first when my dad burst into the room though that's when she took off my dad saw her and I yelled she was about to kill me he was about to go after her but I screamed don't she has a knife everyone in the hall came

out of their rooms to see what was going on we went down to the main office to get some info on this elisa girl and out of all the guests there was no one named Alyssa hell there were no girls even close to her age staying at the resort at that current time police were called and like four cop cars showed up and searched the whole perimeter I think like two or three cop cars stayed overnight since there were so many kids at the place the key card lock was changed on our door for the

night a lot of families including mine left the next day and we got a refund for the two days we cut short this whole thing was actually insane that girl was [ __ ] up in the head and it's scary knowing she was probably in the early stages of being a completely different monster [Music] you
