5 True Stalker Horror Stories

so for context I'm a 34-year-old female and this took place in 2007 I was around 18 at the time and in college I had just graduated and my apartment lease wasn't up yet so I decided to stay until it was which was a horrible decision to understand the story I need to tell you about the apartment layout when you walk through the front door there's a flight of stairs leading to the actual main floor of my apartment and once you go up those stairs you have a full view of my living room and the balcony door and if you were to go out of the balcony door there's a wooden divider on the left hand side that separates my balcony from my neighbors my neighbors were an old couple that had been there longer than I had I never really interacted with them so I had no clue what was to come it started on the night that I had just just bought my new car I was standing outside on my balcony reading the owner's manual while on the phone with my mom and it was snowing slightly I suddenly felt a warm breeze of air and a wicked smell of whiskey I turned my head only to be face to face with a man leading over the wooden divider that separates me from my neighbors I practically jumped out of my skin and hung up on my mom without saying anything hey I'm Jake the man was holding out his hand to mine uh hi I said so what are you doing out here in the cold he replied oh just reading a book I said with a forced smile then as suddenly as he appeared he vanished I immediately grabbed my phone and book and went inside that was that for the night then the next day I was getting ready for work and then went outside to get the mail when I did I saw a note sticking out of my mail box I pulled it out and it said something along the lines of you are very beautiful can I take you out on on a DAT and his name signed at the bottom of the letter I walked inside and put the letter on my counter feeling very confused then I left for work later that night I was in my room reading a book until I heard screaming coming from my neighbor's apartment they were all yelling at each other and then I heard Jake say to his mom that he would slit her throat a chill went down my spine as I heard this then I heard my neighbor sliding glass door Slamm shut and footsteps on their balcony mind you my bedroom wall is right next to their balcony and I can hear everything then I could smell the smell of cigarettes and whiskey again I somehow fell asleep eventually but then woke up to use the bathroom I sat up and began to walk out of my bedroom door after you do you have to walk past the sliding glass door and then the bathroom is right across from the door so anyways as I'm walking towards the bathroom he yells at me get back in bed birdie when he called me birdie it made me want want to leave the apartment and never come back I rushed into the bathroom then a few minutes later came back out and practically ran to my bed I was only 18 and wasn't the smartest when it came to choices like this so I ended up going to sleep then woke up early the next day and felt a cold breeze I immediately shot up and my eyes darted around the room looking for the source I didn't find anything so I walked out into my kitchen/living room and saw it the balcony door door was wide open and there was a note on my kitchen counter I shut the door and saw that the lock was missing from the door handle but that was the least of my worries because my apartment had just been broken into I picked up the note with shaky hands and read it it was a whole paragraph about how I should go on a date with him and at the bottom of the paper it said P. S I promise you won't regret it the rest of the day I was paranoid that he would come back and do something later that night I was once again on the phone with my mom and then I suddenly heard running and pounding on my walls that creep was running down the hallway and pounding on my walls and doors I told my mom that on the phone and she told me not to answer it then I walked towards my door and just stood there as he pounded and yelled from the other side a few minutes went by and then it stopped I told my mom I had to go then I walked back to my living room and froze at what I saw there he was standing in the middle of the room room staring at me why didn't you answer the door he said in a cold tone I was in the shower I said back clearly lying okay then he climbed around the divider and left and I never saw him again a week later my lease was up for my apartment and I talked to my landlord he told me that the man Jake had no permission to be on the property since the limit of people in one apartment was two and my neighbor had three so after I moved all my stuff about a month went by without any problems then my landlord randomly called me and told me how a young couple moved into my old apartment and the man had broken in several times and even smashed their Windows goes to show how crazy and dangerous people can actually be so random man named Jake let's never meet again last year I had a really creepy experience for a little background I live by myself and have a house this was the same situation for when this story occurred it all started when I was at home one night it was probably like 9 or 10 p. m.

usually I stay up kind of late so I wasn't about to go to bed or anything when I heard a knock on my front door I did think it was unusual I walked over and looked out the window there was a woman standing there I was unsure if I should open the door or not I waited to see if she would walk away but about a minute later she knocked on the door again I decided to answer and opened up the door for her she had long blonde hair looked to be in her 20s was wearing a black sweatshirt right when I opened up the door she asked me if she could come inside I asked her why the woman responded saying that there was some guy that was after her I told her that I could call the police but she interrupted me and asked me again if she could just come inside I didn't let her though I suggested calling the police again but she said no when I asked her why not she just turned and walked away rather quickly I was pretty confused I looked around trying to see if there was a man any place I didn't see one though the woman went down the street and was quickly out of my sight I went back inside after that and then went to bed by the next day I had forgotten about the encounter for the most part part I went to work as usual but after that I was home again and it was later at night I was in my living room and just noticed out the window somebody walking by out front it was the same woman as the night before and she was walking on the street in front of my house I was not aware of her living in my neighborhood I had never seen her before until the night prior it was also unusual for people to walk on the side of my street so this was overall a very strange situation when she was in front of my house she kind of stopped and looked at my house I noticed this and then she seemed to kind of notice me looking at the window at her then she kept walking past my house down the street I wasn't quite sure who she was or why she was hanging around my neighborhood all of a sudden I thought perhaps she had moved in down the street or something but honestly I had no idea I saw her again the very next day though this time I was driving to work and I remember that after after making it out of my neighborhood a car was driving behind me for whatever reason at the stoplight I looked at the car behind me in my mirror the driver looked an awful lot like the woman who I kept seeing I was almost positive that it was her but she was wearing sunlasses so I wasn't quite 100% it was strange to see her again though but I didn't even have the thought that she was following me in her car but as I kept driving I noticed her making all of the turns that I did eventually I was like 90% there and she was still driving behind me by now I was about 99% sure that she was the same woman it took me about 15 minutes to get to work when I got there she pulled into the parking lot after me I was shocked I knew she didn't work here but when I drove into where I always parked she drove through the lot a different way her car went out of my sight and I couldn't tell if she was parking or driving away I just went into work and didn't see her for the rest of the time that I was was at work that day or when I was leaving and for the next 2 days I didn't see her at all and I was even a little more suspicious during those two days I would look out of my windows a little bit more at night but I didn't see her at all then one night once again I was home by myself except this time it was later probably a little bit after midnight I was just about to go to sleep and in my bed that's when I heard a sort of loud noise it was coming from what sounded like outside near the back of my house I got up and went out to my doorway that's when I heard another loud noise this time it was clear that it came from the back window somebody was hitting it with something I didn't know who it was or what they were doing so I stayed in my bedroom I closed the door and then I called the police and told them that I thought somebody was trying to break into my house a short time later I heard another loud noise and then it sounded like somebody was inside I stayed in my room room and quickly locked the door whoever was inside of my house slowly walked around but soon I heard them opening a door a ways away they never really got that close to my bedroom then I stopped hearing any noises it took me a while to realize that they had likely gone into my basement for the next 5 minutes or so everything was silent then the police arrived I ran out of my room to let them in once they entered I let them know that I thought somebody was in my basement they went down and a short time later came out with the same woman who I kept seeing I should have known it was her I was glad that she wouldn't be bothering me anymore but I never got an answer why was she seemingly stalking me I still don't know I'm a female and the story happened about 2 years ago I switched jobs around around that time after working in one office building for about a year and a half there was a better job opportunity for me so I took it now the first office that I had worked in was not a bad job I liked most of my co-workers and there were quite a few people that were in the building when I started my new job though I liked it even more but not long after starting one day I got a text from one of my old co-workers it was a man named Jeremy Jeremy worked in the office and occasion L would talk to me but not a whole lot I always thought that he was a little bit weird and creepy several other people around the office did too it was just based on his personality and some of the things that he would say or do so he texted me asking me to hang out it was kind of out of nowhere and I didn't know why he would do that I wasn't sure how to respond before I did though he texted me again I guess I took too long to reply and he accused me of ignoring him because I had seen the text but not yet responded it had only been like 2 hours I finally responded and told him that I would not be available to hang out with him he asked me why not and I said that I was just really busy with work and stuff he didn't respond to me for a few days after that I forgot about it and didn't think that he would text me again but then he called me on my cell phone I was not expecting it and didn't answer the call was sometime at night but not that late after he called me he left a message I remember when I played it I got really creeped out in the message he was talking to me about how he knew I wasn't too busy to hang out with him he said that he knew I didn't even work the previous day and didn't go anywhere and he was right I didn't have work and hadn't gone anywhere but how did he know that I realized that he must have somehow drove to my house or something so I texted him asking him how he knew that I had stayed home the previous day I remember right after I sent it I saw the three dots indicating that he was typing this went on for a while and then disappeared without a text he didn't respond after that I started to pay more attention to outside when I was home the next night shortly after getting back home from work I noticed a car parked on the side of the road it was in one corner which had a good view of my house I couldn't see inside the car or who was driving or anything it was too far away but I was suspicious nothing else weird happened that night though but the next night I received another phone call from Jeremy this time at 1:00 in the morning I didn't hear it or see it until the next morning because I had been asleep he did not leave a message though I texted him asking him why he called me at 1:00 a. m. and why he was being so weird he did not respond so I decided to block him something that I should have done long before but I thought maybe he would would give me some sort of explanation or something for the next couple of days everything was fine then I got back home sort of late from work afterwards I was just planning to go to bed and was really tired but about 20 minutes after arriving back to my house I heard a knock at the front door I walked over and looked to see Jeremy standing there I foolishly decided to answer I was thinking that I could talk to him and be clear that I wanted him to leave me alone as soon as I opened up the door Jeremy rushed inside and started to grab me we struggled very briefly and I was able to free myself it all happened so fast it's kind of a blur in my memory I just remember him charging at me and then I got away I ran outside of the house which was my first instinct for some reason Jeremy started to go after me I ran through my front yard and into the street then I went into my neighbor's yard across the street but surprisingly Jeremy stopped chasing me when he got got to the street I saw that he ran in a different direction then he ran to the corner and got inside of a car and drove away I went back inside after that and called the cops they came out a short time later and I told them everything I could about Jeremy long story short I got a restraining order against him and he hasn't bothered me since my name is Francisco and I used to work at a sporting goods store when I was younger this was back when I was like 19 or 20 and lived with my parents when I wasn't at College I held the job at the sporting goods store since my senior year of high school and I worked there for about 3 years total during I believe my first summer break from college there was a newer employee to the store it was a girl named Emma she was around my age and was short had dark hair and I didn't know anything about her other than that we didn't have a whole lot of employees at our store there would maybe be about five to seven of us working at once usually two at the check lanes and the rest around different Departments of the store I'm not sure exactly when Emma got hired but she worked there when I got back from college we worked together a handful of times I would work both as a cashier and in some other departments as well a few times I spoke briefly with Emma but not too much she seemed cool for the most part but not really the type of person that I would usually hang out with I remember that one night I guess Emma and I both got off at the same time I believe it was 9:00 p.
