5 True Bar Horror Stories

something really crazy happened last year it was a weekend and I went out to a couple of bars with some friends we were in the city and started the night at a restaurant before going to one bar and then another each place that we went was very busy with it being a weekend people were pretty much everywhere the last bar of the night that we were at we arrived at probably about 11:00 or so I was with my friends hanging out and drinking after being there for about an hour or so I remember that I

was standing kind of near the bar in my friends that's when a man approached me from the side he came right up to me and said that he had to talk to me the guy seemed angry but I didn't know why I asked him what was up instead of talking to me though the guy actually shoved me I was really confused the guy didn't seem like just some random angry drunk shoving me for no reason he seemed to have a legitimate problem with me I asked him what his problem was but the guy just started

cursing at me and walking towards me again this time I wanted to fight him and I took a step towards him however my friends saw this and stepped in they stopped the man and me from reaching each other the man ended up turning around and walking away to another part of the bar my friends asked me what that was all about and I told them that I had no no idea I did not know who the man was or why he was seemingly so angry at me he had said he needed to talk to me

but apparently he just wanted to fight for some reason I looked around but no longer saw the man and figured that he left so I went back to hanging out with my friends near the bar area another hour or so went by and we still didn't see the man or anything we then decided to leave my friends and I walked out of the bar and we sort of split up at that point there were five of us and three of my friends took an Uber together my other friend walked back to his apartment downtown because

it was pretty close by I lived the other direction so I was going to get a different Uber after leaving the bar I waited with my friends for them to get their Uber and then I ordered one as well theirs came before mine and when they left I noticed that the guy who tried to fight me earlier was outside he was standing on the sidewalk to the left of me about 50 ft away I'm not sure if he had been there and I hadn't noticed because of my friend or if he had just got there

either way he was here now and just after I noticed him he started walking over to me I didn't want to fight this guy and I just wanted to go home so I turned and started walking away after a few moments I looked back and saw the guy walking after me and he was walking extremely fast so then I just started to run I took off and sprinted down the sidewalk away from him he started to run after me however I was much faster than him at appeared I continued to run and I soon made

it several blocks away I could barely see the guy I turned again and kept running until I lost him completely then I finally stopped caught my breath and called another ride home I wouldn't be able to take the other Uber that I had ordered previously I was left extremely confused about the whole thing and I'm still confused I think that maybe the guy got me confused with somebody else and he must have been really mad at this person whoever he thought I was because I can't really think of any reason why he would be angry

at me this is something that happened back when I was in college I was a senior at the University and like most college kids my friends and I like to go out to the bars on weekends I lived in a house with three other girls and we were all good friends on one part particular weekend I had a lot of studying to do and I was not going to be going out but all three of my roommates were they really wanted me to go but I just had a lot to do and I told them

that I would go out with them the next weekend so they left without me and they met some of our other friends at one of the many bars just off of Campus I was upstairs in my bedroom studying and I knew that I would be up late anyways with my work so I had told my friends that if they needed rides I would be able to drive them as as the night went on I got a Snapchat from my roommate Ashley at probably about 10:00 she said that there was some creepy guy following her around

the bar I asked her if she wanted to leave and she said that she did not want to go yet so I kept working I didn't hear from her for several more hours but a little after midnight she called me I picked up the phone and right away Ashley seemed to be a little bit drunk however she said that they were at a different bar now and the same man was still following her around she said that he was really creepy and asked if I could give her a ride home now I said yes and

then we hung up and I left to go to the bar it was maybe a 5-minute drive and was pretty close by the bar that Ashley was at now was in downtown of the small City our College was located in I parked my car on the side of the road up the street and then went inside the bar it was very busy with it being a weekend and stuff I looked around trying to find my friends I saw some people that I knew but not the specific friends that I was looking for but after making

my way in a little bit I was finally able to see one of my roommates however it wasn't Ashley this was Molly and I asked her if she knew where Ashley was Molly said that Ashley had left she also mentioned that some creepy guy kept staring at her and stuff I asked her if she knew where Ashley had gone but she said no so I then tried calling Ashley but she didn't pick up the phone I was a little bit worried because I didn't know where she was especially with the fact that some creepy guys

seem to be following her around I tried calling her again as well as texting her but she didn't respond right away so I left the bar to try to look for her I thought that maybe she went to another bar that we would go to sometimes there were about four or five that we often went to in the city but I really didn't know I left the bar and then walked down the sidewalk at first and I didn't see her there were not many people out on the sidewalks so I started walking down one just

looking around I tried calling her again but she still didn't answer I remember that I turned the corner and started going down another sidewalk I was walking very quickly and going towards another bar but I was also going in the direction of where we lived there was also a slim chance that maybe she tried walking back home it would take probably 30 or 40 minutes to walk back to our house but it was possible so after going about another Block in that direction I actually saw her she was way up ahead and I noticed that

walking behind her ways was a man I went faster and I basically started jogging when I got within a close enough distance I started yelling her name she heard it and turned around when she did the man stopped and turned around as well after that he started walking down a different street I ran over to Ashley and I told her that I would give her a ride we started walking back to my car on the way back though the man returned he started trailing us sort of a far ways back but was still there Ashley

said that he had been following her all night to multiple different bars we walked quickly and were able to make it back to the street my car was on after getting inside I drove Ashley home and then I went back to pick everybody else up and give them a ride Ashley said that her phone had died so she left the bar to walk home because she couldn't contact anyone I'm really glad that I was able to find her the guy seemed really determined to follow her wherever she went I'm not sure what would have happened

if Ashley had tried to walk the whole way home I'm a female and I used to work at a bar as a bartender several years ago I did it for about a year and I worked at a place that would often get really busy there were a lot of regulars that would come in as well I got to know some of the usual customers and overall I enjoyed the job towards the end of my time working there an event took place though that ultimately made me quit it all started a few weeks prior to the

event like I mentioned before after working there for a while I picked up on many regular customers I would recognize faces and talk to some of the customers that would sit at the bar there was one guy that I noticed who would come in a lot I'm not sure the first time that he was there but I know that he started coming in very very frequently he didn't say anything to me the first few times I know that because I remember asking him what he wanted but he just shook his head he was never with

anybody else so he would just sit at the end of the bar by himself I also started to notice that he was often just staring at me this was not a big deal until after noticing him several times over the course of a few weeks and he did start talking to me he started to sort of hit on me in a pretty creepy way I was not too bothered though but we started getting complaints from other customers as well apparently he had made some other people in the bar uncomfortable several times by staring at them

or talking to them and apparently saying creepy things I know that he got asked to leave the bar at least once maybe twice and he did leave so I figured that he was just a creepy guy one night he came in again and was sitting at the end of the bar I noticed him staring at me once more but this time he waved me over I walked over to him and I just remember asking me to come over to his place when I got off for something like that I said No and when the guy

cursed at me after that I told him to leave he got up and left the bar at that point then I went back to work that did not seem like a very unusual event given the guy's track record I remember even thinking that we should probably ban the guy or something he rarely if ever bought anything and he only seemed to cause problems but for the rest of my shift I didn't see him I got off later that night when we closed after leaving the bar I was able to walk home from work so I

started going back I had an apartment just a few blocks away and it would take me maybe about 10 minutes things were very quiet now and when I got back to my apartment building I went up to the second floor where my place was however when I entered my hallway I saw the man from the bar standing right in front of my door I noticed him about the same time that he saw me we both looked at each other and my first reaction was to turn around and go back I saw the man starting to

walk after me I quickly went to the stairs and went down them to the first floor as fast as I could by this point I was running and after going downstairs I sprinted right out of the building when I got outside though I realized that the man did not follow me out I felt better but I also realized that he was probably just going to stay in front of my apartment door knowing that I would have to return because I lived there I did not know how this guy even knew where I lived I started

walking down the sidewalk back towards the bar it was closed now but I wasn't really sure where else to go after calming down though and coming to my senses I called the police and told them about what happened they said they would send an officer to come to my apartment so I walked around the quiet streets waiting for a while when the police officer got there we went into my apartment building after getting to my floor we saw that the man was still there when he noticed us though he started walking away the offic officer

told him to stop and the guy did I remember the guy telling the police officer that he was trying to go to his friends he claimed that it was an honest mistake and he must have been at the wrong door but when he was asked what his friend's name was he said he couldn't remember the guy ended up getting told that he had to leave and not come back so he did I was then able to get inside of my apartment but I was really worried that the man would return he must have followed me

home without me knowing at one point I don't know how else he would have known my address the next time I was at work I told my boss about it and he agreed to ban the guy from the bar apparently he came in one time that I was not working and they banned him so luckily for me I did not see him for the rest of the time that I worked there still I decided to get another job a short time later I also moved out of my apartment when the lease was up and moved

to a different one so hopefully I never see that creepy guy again this happened last fall I went to a local bar to watch a football game with my friend Garrett there was a big game that we wanted to see and I went to the bar and met him there the bar was very crowded with lots of other people probably there to watch the game as well we were luckily able to get an open place to sit at a table Garrett and I ordered some food and we were watching the game and talking I remember

that my wallet fell out of my pocket at one point so I put it on the table and we were at this round table and Garrett and I had positioned our chairs to get a good view of the game so because of this I wasn't really paying the greatest attention to my wallet and in the crowded bar a guy came up and tried to steal it luckily I noticed just in time the guy who was kind of skinny but had a lot of tattoos came over and I sensed him just standing next to our table

when I turned around I saw him holding my wallet after noticing me he dropped it and the guy quickly walked away I knew that he didn't work there or anything and he didn't offer any kind of explanation I yelled at him asking what he was doing but he didn't answer and just kept going away the guy quickly disappeared into the crowd of people standing around by the bar I put my wallet back in my pocket and made sure that it wouldn't fall out the guy must have seen my wallet sitting there and that Garrett and

I were facing the other direction still I could tell that he was standing near us before he tried to take it a little while while later though maybe 30 minutes or so the guy came back he was just standing around by us again I looked over and saw him just by our table I asked him what he wanted the guy just gave me a dirty look and then sort of walked away he was definitely very suspicious a while after that I did notice the guy standing a ways away and looking at me he was still

giving me a dirty look I did my best to just ignore him after that although if he did decide to come back over to us I was going to give him a piece of my mind but he didn't a while later the game ended and many of the people started to leave the bar Garett and I were going to leave and go our separate ways we walked out and there was the parking lot for the bar to the side of it when we walked out there I noticed the same guy again he was standing right

outside of my car next to it when Garrett and I saw him we had a bad feeling I didn't know what this guy's plans were I was parked kind of in the back corner of the parking lot and I just didn't want to go near the guy instead I went to Garrett's car with him I sat inside Garrett's car and we talked about the situation we were hoping that the man would just leave and from where we were we could not see my vehicle So eventually I decided that I would just go walk over and

ask the guy to leave if he was still there if he chose to try to fight me or something then whatever so I got out of Garrett's car and walked over to mine when I did I did not see the guy it seemed as though he had actually left I went to my driver's door and started to open it that's when I just heard the sound of somebody approaching I quickly shut the door and locked it and then saw the man arrive at my driver's window he tried opening my door and entering my car and

when it wouldn't open he started banging on the windows I quickly backed out and then left leaving him standing in the parking lot I went home and called Garrett and told him all about it that was one of my craziest bar moments for sure I don't know who that guy even was and I don't know why he kept messing with with me I'm a former bartender I used to be one of the main bartenders at the smaller place on a corner it was at the edge of the city and I really enjoyed working there the

bar was pretty cool and had lots of fun pictures on the wall and stuff so one night I was all by myself it was a quiet night and we had just got a few people as it got later I was the only person inside the entire bar but then a man soon entered he was wearing this mask over his head it was either of a celebrity who I didn't know or just a random person but I didn't recognize it and it was basically a full fake head mask this was a creepy enough sight with it

not being anytime near Halloween and the man walking in alone the guy didn't say anything and walked up to one of the stools at the bar I went over to him and asked what he would like to drink the guy did not respond to me I asked him what's up with the mask he still didn't say anything back to me I was confused about it and also kind of creeped out as well after some awkward silence the man just got up and walked out of the bar just like that I'm not going to lie I

was glad that he was gone but I was still wondering what on Earth that was all about the bar was quiet for a little while until a group of people came in it was about five or six people who seemed to all be in a friend group they came in and sat down together at the bar and ordered some drinks the group was very nice and friendly and as I was getting them drinks we were all talking and stuff sometime as I was getting them drinks and stuff I remember I looked up and the masked

man was back he must have entered when I was making a drink or something because I hadn't noticed him coming in he sat at the far end of the bar now once again I had a bad feeling about him being here the others at the bar noticed him too but didn't say anything then the guy randomly got up and walked out again the whole thing was pretty strange the group of friends stayed for a while longer and then all left after them we didn't get any more customers for the night a while after that it

was time for closing so I got up and locked the doors I went to do some final things before I would leave for the night I was turning off lights from signs and stuff and doing a little cleaning during this time the masked man returned again he did not come inside but he tried to when he couldn't get in the building he just stood there looking at me through the window I did my best to ignore him and I went out of his sight for a while when I came back he was finally gone when

I left that night I was worried that I would see him again but luckily I didn't I was able to make it back home okay and after that I never saw the guy again it was really weird though and I still wonder about it sometimes for
