5 True Home Alone Horror Stories

this happened a few years ago during this time I lived alone I had a one-bedroom apartment on the third floor of my building overall the apartment complex was pretty nice and I liked it a lot however I only ended up living there for 1 year which was the term of my lease and then I moved to a different place this event took place towards the end of my lease it was nighttime and I was home alone my living room was at the back end of the apartment with the kitchen at the front as it was

getting late at night I was planning on going to bed it was maybe around 11:00 or so so I went over to my living room window it was a large sliding glass door that opened up to a small balcony that I had I went to close the blinds like I did every night before bed when I was doing this I got a view out to the parking lot which also happened to be where my car was parked and when I looked out there I noticed that there appeared to be a person standing right next to

my car this caught my attention so I kept looking I noticed that it was a man and he appeared to be messing around with my car I saw him try to open my door but the car was locked I could see him then looking in the windows and stuff I opened up the sliding door to the balcony and I st stepped out onto it then I yelled to the man that that was my car when I did the man looked up and saw me I was hoping and also expecting for him to stop what he

was doing and run away after staring right at me for a few moments I yelled again asking what he was doing the guy didn't answer me in fact he didn't say anything he just kept staring at me for a few more seconds then he began walking away from my car but towards my building I watched the guy walk all the way to where the front doors of the apartment are then he went out of my sight the doors were not in my view so I didn't know if he had entered the building or not but

it sure seemed like he was going to this seemed odd to me because if somebody was trying to break into a car I wouldn't suspect them to live there I would have figured it to be somebody just passing by or something I was just glad that he left my car though without breaking in or anything but I was a little bit suspicious with him being in the building I didn't recognize the guy but I also didn't know that many people that lived in the building I went back inside closed the blinds and then started getting

ready for bed but probably about 2 minutes later I heard somebody trying to open the door to my apartment I walked over to the living room and then looked at the door it was locked after things were quiet for a few moments I walked over and looked through the peephole I saw the same guy who had been outside at my car I didn't open the door but I kept watching him he stood there by my door for a short time then he knocked on it I didn't answer it of course then the man turned and

walked away I was left with many questions who was this guy why was he at my car and why was he now at my door at that point I just went to bed though and after that I only saw the guy one other time I arrived home from work one afternoon I parked my car in the parking lot and then went inside to the building when I did I got inside the elevator to take me up to my floor right after I got inside though I saw the same man come into view he was walking

down the hallway and headed towards the elevator the guy was kind of far away but after he saw me he started speeding up and almost running to try to catch the elevator before it closed but it ended up closing before he could reach it I went up to my floor and quickly went inside the man didn't come to my door again though or anything I only lived there for about two more months after that and I never saw that guy again this happened when I was much younger I believe I was about 12 years old

or so I remember that one night I found myself home alone my parents were gone someplace and my older sister went to her friend's house this didn't happen very often where I would be home by myself because I remember thinking to myself that it felt strange that the house was so quiet with nobody else there I was inside of my bedroom doing homework which I remember I had a lot of it was about 8:00 or so and dark out when there was a knock at the front door immediately it seemed strange to me we didn't

get too many door-to-door salesmen or anything like that still I got it from my chair left the room and walked over to the front door I remember that I didn't even bother to look out of a window to see who it was or anything I just opened up the front door to whoever was there a man stood on the front step and said hi he was somewhat tall and thin from my memory and had darkish hair the man asked if my parents were home and I said no I figured he was some type of salesman

or something after I told him that my parents were not home though he did not immediately leave he kept standing there and then he asked if he could come inside I told him no and the guy didn't say anything right away after that so I remember that I just closed the door and then locked it I thought that it was really weird I then went to the window and looked out I saw the man walking away back down the driveway then I went back to my bedroom to continue with my homework it didn't take long

for me to get really focused but then just about 10 minutes later I heard another noise it sound sounded like somebody was trying to open the back door to the house I did not get up to go look though I was too scared I stayed in my bedroom and listened the noises didn't last very long though and soon things became quiet that's when I decided to get up and go look I really didn't know what was going on at the time I was hoping that it was just my imagination or something with a logical explanation

but I think that I also knew that was kind of unlikely when I left my bedroom and went down the hallway and towards the living room I then entered the dining room at the back end of the house it was there that I noticed through a window the same man who had been at the door he was now standing in the backyard I quickly turned and ran back to my bedroom I don't think that the man saw me when I got back to my room I got the phone and I called the police I reported

the guy for trying to enter the house and then I hid in my bedroom I just remember that I went under my covers and I didn't hear or see anything for what felt like a long time eventually the police got there they actually found the guy hiding in the backyard behind the shed when they arrived I really thought that he would have left I didn't know who the guy was and my parents and sister didn't either I'm really glad that he was not able to get inside of the house I live by myself myself in

a house a little ways outside of the city this happened a couple of years ago one day I got home from work a little bit later at night it was sometime past 10:00 and I was really tired after getting inside of the house I pretty much started getting ready for bed right away I remember that I was in the bathroom across from the hallway from my bedroom when I heard a door downstairs closing instantly I was creeped out when I heard it I froze and listened to hear anything else but there was just silence after

that I left the bathroom and went back downstairs to see what it was when I got downstairs though I saw nothing I noticed that I had left a window partly open and figured that the wind had blown the door shut this is something that happens from time to time I felt much better and then I went over and shut the window and then headed back upstairs then I finished getting ready for bed and went into my bedroom room when all the lights were out and I closed my eyes to go to sleep I heard another

noise though I thought it sounded like somebody walking around downstairs at first I told myself that I was being paranoid because of what I had heard earlier I mean it was hard to hear something downstairs clearly it seemed like the noise really could have been anything because it was so far away and I could just barely hear it still it was something and it continued I continued listening and I realized that the sounds were actually getting louder and then I realized that it sounded like somebody was coming up the stairs that's when I realized that

there was definitely somebody in my house I started to panic and I immediately got up out of bed and ran to my bedroom door I closed it and then locked it then I went back over to the opposite side of my room and got my cell phone I had no idea how but somebody was inside of my house as I scrambled to dial 911 I heard the footsteps appr approaching down the hallway at that point I froze I was unable to speak because I didn't want this person inside the house to hear me the 911

operator answered the phone but I didn't say anything I then heard the person inside of my house reach right outside my door and then they tried the handle the door didn't open because of it being locked and after that the person turned and walked back in the opposite direction after the footsteps went away I'm not sure where they went I was finally able to speak and told the 911 operator what was going on I stayed in my room with the door locked and I also stayed on the line with 911 they were really quick to

respond and within probably 3 or 4 minutes police were at my house during the time waiting I didn't really notice hearing any other noises though and when the police got there and did a thorough search of my house and yard nobody was found the door was unlocked though which I'm 99% sure was not when I went up to bed so I never found out who broke into my house I also don't know how or when they got in I'm guessing it was when I was at work probably earlier in the night maybe shortly before I

arrived home that's what makes the most sense in my opinion my only guess is to have they got in was possibly the window that I had left open a little it's ironic that seeing the open window made me feel better thinking the wind had blown the door shut when possibly the Intruder entered my house through that very window since then though there have been no problem problems like it I'm hoping that it stays that way this happened back when I was 12 years old it was the summertime and I was at home by myself both

of my parents were at work and this was probably in the late morning I just remember that it was a really nice day outside so I went into the front yard and I was reading a book in a chair that we had out there after probably an hour of this I remember noticing a car driving down our street a few cars had already gone by that I had noticed we lived on a quiet street that wouldn't get very much traffic mostly just people who lived there this one car in particular was going very slow it

was a black four-door sedan and after passing by it went further down my street and then out of sight I didn't think too much of it but only about a minute later or so I remember the car driving back from the other way when it passed by our house it seemed to slow down even more than it was already going I also did not recognize the car and I couldn't help but feel a little bit suspicious the car ended up moving on and leaving the street though at this point I was hoping that it was

just somebody who was maybe lost so I stayed outside and kept reading however less than 5 minutes later the car was back it once again drove by and was going very slowly I just had a bad feeling about it the car luckily passed me by and continued down the street when it did I decided to go inside of the house after getting inside I think I went to the kitchen to get something to drink I was going to go to my bedroom but before that I stopped at the front window when I did I saw

the same car sitting in our driveway I couldn't believe it the car was parked at the back end of the driveway and I could not see who was behind the wheel but I did see somebody in the driver's seat and it appeared to be a man I watched the car and it continued to sit there nobody got out I didn't really know what to do but I remembered that I soon moved away from the window I walked around the house I don't really remember why but when I returned to the front window I could see

that the car was now empty the man had left it I didn't know where he had gone though I looked to the front step and nobody was there so he wasn't going going to knock at the door or anything I went to another front window and looked out but saw nothing there either at that time I was trying to figure out what he could possibly be doing I couldn't think of any logical explanation though I went to go back to my bedroom when I got inside though I saw the man at my window just outside

of it we locked eyes for a brief moment before I quickly ran away I ran into the kitchen to get the phone and call 911 however when I did I saw the man running away past the another window he then went around the house and back to his car as I was calling the police I could hear him driving away I went through with the call anyways though the police came out to our house and I spoke with them for a while telling them everything that I could my parents got called and came home from

work early it was one of the craziest moments of my life I'm really glad that the man was unable to get inside after that I never saw him again I live alone in a smaller house I've lived here for 5 years now and I would describe the neighborhood as average by far the scariest thing to happen took place not too long after I first moved in I'd been living here for maybe 6 months one night I was woken up out of nowhere to a loud banging at my front door I remember being very confused at

first but once I came to my senses and realized what was going on I looked at a clock it was nearly 2: in the morning I got up out of bed and the loud pounding was still going on I had absolutely no idea as to what this could possibly be after leaving my bedroom and walking over to the front door the banging suddenly stopped still I went the rest of the way to the front door and I looked out of the window when I did I noticed that there was nobody there I opened up the

door and looked around I saw nothing nobody in the street nobody in my driveway or anything it was very weird because whoever had just been here seemed like they really wanted me to open the door I stayed up for a little while after that and nothing else happened so soon I was able to go back to bed I thought that maybe it was just a mistake or something but I was still wondering about it all day the next day well the very next night something else happened I was woken up in the middle of the

night once again this time there was no knocking though I remember hearing the sound of a car horn honking it was coming from outside somewhere but I couldn't tell exactly where it sounded close by though after it continued for a while I got out of bed and once again headed to the front of my house I was getting closer to the sound and when I got there I looked out of a window and I saw a car sitting in in my driveway I did not recognize it but the horn was honking over and over obviously

with it being nighttime I could not tell who was behind the wheel of it I went to the front door and opened it up when I did the car suddenly stopped its honking and drove away really fast I did not get a look at the license plate or anything after the car drove away I was once again left very confused I figured this to be the same person who had been banging on my door the previous night but why I really didn't know the car did not return that night and once more I went back

to bed the day after that I was wondering if I would be woken up in the night again I thought about going to the police but ultimately I didn't do it that day so that night I was not woken up I thought things were back to normal however as I was leaving for work I noticed a note taped to my front door I picked it up and looked at it it was handwritten and it said I will be back next week this really creeped me out somebody was messing with me for some reason after that

I did go to the police I showed them the note and reported everything they said they would look into it but said that it might just be a prank I was really nervous the next week but nothing happened I'm glad that nothing happened but also I'm confused since then though nothing strange has occurred I'm not sure if it was just some kind of a sick joke or what but I'm glad that nothing more ever came of bit
