12 Hours of TRUE Black Screen Scary Stories to Help you Sleep | Rain Sounds | Compilation

it was September 22nd 2018 my friend had enlisted my help as a YouTuber and cameraman to Showcase his skill as a blacksmith we needed a location that was nearby but remote enough that cars or people would not be heard since we were on the west coast of Washington we chose Capitol forest I had meticulously packed all my gear and GoPro batteries as well as multiple LED lanterns because we decided it to stay overnight we went ahead and used my Twan Kelty ultralight tent a small tent but it would easily house my gear and protect us

from the elements we got to the location about 8 m in using my black Jeep Patriot I had also packed a firearm my AR-15 and my friend was bringing his 12 gate shotgun we took our personal safety very seriously the wilderness is a dangerous place for humans it took us approximately 45 minutes to get to the spot I'd found it had a small clearing with Road access and was surrounded by a heavily wooded Ravine except for the road leading into it once we got there we unloaded our equipment set up camp and made shelter I

noted a strange bird call but decided it must have been a raven the only reason I remember it is that it was so different from all the other birds and it didn't sound like a bird call at all the other reason I noticed it was because of my outdoors and Military experience anything odd we make a mental note of it the bird sounded like a person talking gibberish but in an odd sing song manner it sounded awkward I looked around to see if I could spot the Raven but I couldn't find it after that slight

detour I I was setting up my LED lanterns I set up three around the camp area each about 20 to 40 ft away from the tent the nearest one was on the edge of the Ravine near an area with ferns that overlooked the clearest spot for Ingress of the Ravine the ferns stood about 2 and 1/2 ft tall and were thick with that done I began filming as Jay had gathered enough wood and materials for his presentation I watched him baton wood and a through plenty of small vegetation stand on his knives and abuse them

in almost every way possible he even drove the tips of his knives into a rock and the tip broke the rock his blacksmithing was impeccable I reviewed the footage I got and made sure to get more b-roll by that time it was very dark at 8:00 p.m. we made dinner and tucked into our sleeping bags I fell asleep almost immediately I had had a great sleep until about 2:50 a.m. I awoke to something sniffing my head from outside the tent when I was conscious I heard it Huff in longer intervals three times I quickly turned

my head to Jay to make sure he wasn't doing some weird snoring I found out afterward that he'd taken a medicated gummy I don't drink and I do not partake I'm very cleancut I immediately tried to wake him as I unzipped my sleeping bag and held the AR-15 lengthways across my body the barrel pointing toward the huffing sound Jay said go back to sleep it's nothing and continued to snore he wouldn't wake up I said in a very loud voice get nothing there were no sounds of scrambling through the underbrush no stepping on cold dry

leaves no animal sounds No Bugs I was perturbed I lay awake for almost 3 hours holding the rifle and sitting up waiting for this thing to come through the tent around 2 and 1/2 hours later I finally went back to sleep Jay woke me up at 9:00 a.m. and I told him I heard an animal last night and tried to wake him he didn't remember anything I said said let's check for Prince I'm very curious to see what it was I'm not sure if it was because the ground was soft and full of debris but

there were no prints around my tent I checked on the muddy side of the Ravine underneath the ferns and on a muddy Switchback that deer frequented I knew deer frequented it because there were several deer prints on it there was also a strange imprint from what I thought could be a very large dog or bear and it wasn't there the day before I walked back to Jay and told him I had found a strange print that wasn't there yesterday he said it looked like a man's footprint but it was distorted due to the rain and

Slick mud we both laughed I agreed but we both disregarded that possibility it started to rain at about 10:00 a.m. that morning I asked if I could invite some friends from Tacoma Jay agreed and they said they'd be there in time for dinner today we left all the knives and other equipment in the tent and we just focused on making a decent amount of fuel for the fire tonight the previous night got to around 45° f for those Celsius users your fingers can turn blue without gloves it was around 6:00 p.m. when they finally got

there our fire was burning cheerfully with a nice wood pile next to it we had spaghetti for dinner and was was a friend of mine in the military C was M's guest we talked about a lot of different things not so many good things were happening in our lives at the time J and M had a lot in common as they both got divorced recently we played cards until around midnight I heard a small rustle in the ferns SL leaves area below us in the Ravine I looked up hoping to see a deer or rabbit

I didn't think much of it but ch noticed me looking and asked what did you hear T I told him about 5 minutes earlier I heard the russle again but louder then I heard a soft Ting in the center of Camp Jace had swiveled to me m andc asked what that Bell was I said something over 3 and 1/2 ft tall just ran into my bell trap the string I'd set up was an easy thing it had only take something brushing up against it to knock it down the Bell fell from about 4 ft and

had hit the ground immediately muting it but not before the tiny Tink sound I said shh we might see a deer how wrong I was the guys continued to play cards but my attention was laser focused on the area with the ferns 5 minutes go by I check my watch it's approximately 12:16 p.m. am I'm horrified by what I spotted next a long white and I mean white as in marble with no hair and black nails hand pops through the ferns no less than 20 ft away it's a strange position it looks like it's connected

to someone crawling through the undergrowth and the compass rows of companions at the table all look up Jay is Frozen in fear M doesn't see it yet C can't see it yet I grab my rifle and stand up as the next arm comes through the ferns Jay is to my left locked onto what he sees the head emerges a big slightly elongated jaw or suedo snout now exposing a white face and a broad muscled chest this thing was ripped I had no issues believing this thing could rip one of us apart looking back at it

now it reminded me of the White Orc from The Hobbit but more feral looking this moment was strange I couldn't register what type of animal this was I was struck dumb in the same instant as I was terrified my logic followed as thus this thing around 7 ft tall with arms easily 4T long has snuck up on us in the middle of the the night as I raised my rifle with Jay turning his head left and my best friend m still wondering what was going on Jay said wait I didn't I Shot Two Rounds into

its chest after the two gunshots it effectively disappeared into the night without a sound leave it to the camera guy to have a huge stream of light that was 2,000 lumens and Decay Candela I ran down the Ravine looking for a blood trail or the body I was fully expecting to see torn up brush blood and then the body there was nothing not a track not a drop of blood I went all the way to the bottom of the Ravine about 200 ft down I heard my friends starting to yell for me nervously as they

couldn't see my light anymore it was foolish of me to have gone by myself but I needed to confirm what I saw was real I made the long trip back up it took me a little over 7 minutes to get back up and that was me running if I had wounded it and it didn't bleed it probably died in a hole somewhere that was my logic I asked my friends if we could leave tonight they were fairly confident that I'd killed it whatever it was Jay said he was okay if we could sleep in our

friends big tent I said they were crazy I want to leave they convinced me to stay saying that whatever it was was scared off or dead that we could look for it in the morning so I told them no I'm sleeping in my Jeep you guys can sleep in the tent you're all crazy they went to bed it was about 1: in the morning now and I was cozied up in my Jeep I had nightmarish thoughts of waking up to this thing's face pressed up against the window but my friend's thoughts were based on fact

they were right I had probably killed this thing I woke up at 3:00 a.m. I wondered why maybe it was my nerves with that thought I turned on my overhead light rack and high beams and looked around the clearing that's when I got a side view of the creature staring at my friend's tent from behind a stump I immediately turned on my Jeep and hung to my horn driving over two small trees to get closer to their tent the thing had vanished again down the Ravine I forced them to get into my Jeep leave their

car and leave that night something else happened as we were packing up I swore out of my peripherals I saw it again moving to the other side of the densely wooded clearing with the amount of light coming off the Jeep it didn't like it or knew it would get spotted immediately I couldn't confirm that sighting and if I wasn't scared for my life I would have been recording to be fair I'd like to think that you guys wouldn't be focused on that either I can answer any question questions you have no I didn't see it

stand up I aimed at its chest the LED lanterns were more for us getting up and going to the bathroom and they weren't meant for brightness they just barely illuminated the place had they not been set up very likely we wouldn't have seen it with only the campfire going we would have only heard it something that I left out when it was crawling out of the ferns I noticed it kept its face angled down as if to expose as little light to its eyes as possible I'm not sure if this was intentional or if it

was aware of its ey shine I'm assuming it's something it's learned I did not see any ey Shine from this creature it was only black around its orbital areas I'm a teenager who helps his dad out on the allotment if you don't know an allotment is like a mini Farm you can plant vegetables have animals like chickens or rabbits to care for and whatever else this happened recently and this creeps me out in the evening my dad says we need to go to the alotment to feed our chickens as he forgot to feed them earlier

that day it was around 8:00 p.m. when I agreed and got in the car and started driving when we got out to our alotment which was about a 15-minute drive it was already dark out but there was still some light I opened the gates to the alotment let my dad drive in and then I closed them as I was about to though I saw a black car outside the car belonged to a guy that used to be chill with my dad but they both kind of fell off from talking to each other my dad said

he was becoming more mentally ill as the guy had been through a divorce and had his kids taken by the mother the guy lives in the allotment now even sleeping there around 20 other people have lots here too but there was no one else there except my dad myself and that guy after my dad parked the car we got out and started get getting food for the chickens out of the trunk while my dad was doing that I looked towards his ex-friends allotment only to see him staring at us it was dark so I could

only see the outline of him but I knew he was staring at us I had a gut feeling but I decided to ignore it we went to the alotment fed the chickens and were about to go home until my dad almost forgot about something he went to the shed at the into the allotment to fetch something and I was going to enter but I had the feeling that I should wait outside instead as I ask my dad how much longer it will be until he finds what it was he needed I turned back to face

the gate and it was being opened I didn't see it at first but I saw that guy trying to enter our allotment quietly he stared at me and slowly closed the gate before disappearing I didn't react or say anything thing I just stood there I thought about telling my dad but I didn't want to scare him or anything in the end this isn't a horror movie where I should scream like a girl when my dad exited the shed we then left as we were we heard a sound like an axe hitting wood nonstop we knew

something was wrong we quickly went back to our car started it and went to the exit gate I got out of the car creeped out due to the guy being around in the allotment I quickly opened the gate and let my dad drive through as I was closing the gate I saw something that terrified me on the spot the guy was just standing there 20 M away from me staring at me I couldn't see any details but just his silhouette he was holding something in his hand but then he just moved and went into some

bushes my dad got out of the car to lock the gate he looked at the bushes through the closed gate and rushed to his car when we started driving I told my dad if he saw what I saw he said he saw him hiding in the bushes squatting and staring at us my dad said he saw him holding something too something like an axe or a knife we left terrified but we tried to laugh it off knowing we were probably close to being attacked or Worse dead we went back to the alotment at about the

same time 8:00 p.m. a few days later we saw the guy's car in the allotment and we knew we needed to be quick with feeding the chickens as we did so everything was going fine until we were about to leave my dad stopped me and we hid over a blue shed my dad said said he's there he's in the bushes my heart dropped my dad told me where he was he said a 5-second walk and we were done we quickly ran to the car got in and drove off for a second I saw the guy

he had an axe in his hand he wanted to sneak up on us harm us he wanted to kill us I was in Middle School when this occurred so I was around 12 to 13 years old my best friend and I were next door neighbors so we often walked to and from the bus stop for school we were walking home one day from the bus stop when an old red pickup truck slowly drove by us we didn't recognize this pickup truck as anyone that lived in the neighborhood it was a really small neighborhood by the

way the truck was going the same way we were walking and we could see the driver lean forward and it looked like he was staring at us he then sped off down at the end of the block and turned around the corner my best friend and I looked at each other and said that was weird we Shrugged it off since there were some houses for sale on the Block and we did happen to walk by one we were halfway down the block when the same red truck turned from the corner and was headed towards us

he was speeding down the road but as he approached he slowed down the man's driver side window was now rolled down I don't remember much of what he looked like but I do remember him having face tattoos now we were worried as we passed pass him and he slowly passed us I happened to look behind me to make sure he was still driving no his brake lights light up and his truck jerked when he placed it in the park I saw the driver door open and I yelled to my best friend run we proceeded to

run to my best friend's house since her mom was home and there were no adults at mine we practically threw the front door open of my best friend's house and slammed the door closed we locked every lock on that door my best friend's mom was mad at us for slamming the door until we told her what happened as we were telling her this the same red pickup truck slowly drove down the street as we watched from the front window we could see him looking around as he drove slowly I'm pretty sure to this day he

was looking for my best friend and I they scared her mom enough to call the local police department's non-emergency number this guy circled the block of my neighborhood twice while she was on the phone with the police department the police started to patrol the neighborhood but we didn't see that red pickup truck after the police showed up I have no idea what happened after that but we never saw the red pickup truck again we weren't walking to the bus stop for a week after that my best friend's mom drove us to and from school for

that entire week 10 years ago a friend and I both females at about 19 years old headed out on a road trip that led us into the very rural parts of Middle Tennessee during the darkest part of the night the urge to pee hit us hard sometime around 3:00 in the morning and the only exit for miles at a single very dimly lit gas station but Beggars can't be choosers right the restrooms were about 100 ft from the main station with just as poor lighting and only a single toilet so I let my friend Mel

go first while I waited in the the store as soon as she returned I made a quick power walk out the door and across the lot 10 ft from my goal a man stepped out of nowhere and stopped right in front of me facing me I almost crashed right into him but I used the momentum to Pivot my hip and a slight turn instead my hand reached for the handle to the bathroom and he turned with me for the first time I caught a glimp of his face a young man very clean cut with a

bow tie he was grinning from ear to ear he had one hand behind his back are you happy he asked me quietly I pulled the door open and kept moving slowly yeah thanks I responded I was in the stall now he was moving in towards me putting his hand out to stop the door are you sure he asked still grinning still being a creep at 3: in the morning for reasons unknown to me I then slammed the door and locked both latches thank God for those I waited for a couple of minutes and heard nothing

so I did my business but as I washed my hands I noticed I could see a shadow moving around outside from the crack underneath the door so I took out my good old Nokia and called Mel she was in the car waiting for me she stayed on the phone and drove across the lot when she turned and her headlights illuminated the creep I heard her gasp over the phone seconds later when I was safely in her car she told me that he had slowly turned towards her growled and ran off into the nowhere he'd come

from so yeah creepy grinning guy you can just stay there please I was on a road trip on the south island of New Zealand and one night at around 9:00 p.m. decided to stop in a small town to get some rest already while driving into the town I noticed that there were Christmas decorations everywhere like decorated and plastic Santas reindeers whatever else the excessive amounts of decorations on the streets and in every window this wouldn't have been too weird if it hadn't been the middle of August but I thought the town was just really dedicated

to a specific aesthetic or whatever I got to the motel and checked in and the old lady at the front desk was short and rude with me which I thought was weird because I had experienced people in New Zealand is really nice and quite chatty compared to where I come from she also wouldn't give me the Wi-Fi password even though they advertised free Wi-Fi she quite literally told me to piss off and to let her get back to her newspaper after that I went out and the whole time I was there I never saw any

people on the street I went to a diner near the motel both also stuffed with Christmas decorations and I had the same experience with the waitress while ordering she told me they were out of almost everything and the only thing I was able to get was a cheese sandwich there were other people in the restaurant who were all eating what I suppose were meals from the menu they didn't have to order a plain cheese sandwich while waiting for my food I noticed that no one in the whole Diner was talking even though there were families

and other groups of people even the kids ate in silence or not really silence as there was Christmas music blaring after I was done eating I just paid and left I was also the only one leaving no one in that Diner the whole time I was there got up to leave or go to the bathroom or do anything really they all just sat there when I left I felt like they were all staring holes into the back of my head the whole time I was was in that town I got a feeling that everyone wanted

me to leave and like they were somehow angry with me this was 4 years ago and to be honest I don't remember anything after leaving the diner I don't remember going back to the motel or going to sleep and just barely remember being on the road early the next morning I told some of my New Zealand friends this story because I thought it was some kind of weird themed town but none of them had ever heard of it and I can't for the life of me remember the name of that town or how I found

it before the pandemic hit the United States I was going to college in a city a few hours away from my hometown I was living in an apartment in set city with a good friend from high school there was a weekend where she went home to visit her family and I had to stay back due to the fact that I had to work that weekend it was Friday and I had the day off so after school I decided to relax and watch some true crime I'm in the kitchen making dinner around 6:30 to 7:00 p.m.

and I hear a loud knock on my door I freeze which I wouldn't normally do I had a a really odd feeling and somehow knew not to answer I try to stay quiet and I wait and try to listen to what's happening outside from my kitchen I hear another really loud knock followed by someone saying apartment check for 219 this is when I knew something was off it was almost 700 p.m. and the apartment's office maintenance and anything else involving the apartment complex is closed by 400 p.m. I stayed quiet until I knew they were

gone I heard them do this to two other apartments down the hall from me once again stating apartment check for number 219 I go on with my night and don't think about it too much after however I'm definitely more alert especially due to the fact that I'm there alone later that evening I go to the 7 11 across the street from my apartment I drove because the area I lived in was extremely questionable to put it nicely especially for a female at night as I'm driving back to my apartment I see four or five cop

cars right outside of my building a man is handcuff and they're putting him in the back seat I don't know if this was related but I have a strong feeling it was I'm still not sure what exactly the purpose of the apartment check scam was I thought maybe it was someone with intentions of robbing the place and wanted to pose as a worker at the apartment to scope out the place I'll never know for sure what their intentions were but I'm so happy I didn't answer the door before I tell you my story I'm going

to give you some context about my drive home from work the state I live in and such this happened about 10 minutes after I left work today July 4th 2020 I live in Northeast Ohio and I got a new job about 2 months ago as a process technician at a dairy plant it pays very good money considering it's a 35m drive life one way after about 20 or 25 miles I drive through a wooded area nothing uncommon for me as where I live in northeastern Ohio forests are common and I pretty much lived in one

behind my grandma's house growing up I work 400 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. and the drive home sucks whether it's being tired hungry or the fog almost every night I go the same way every day at night I was driving my way home I just left the residential area of my workplace and I was going through the forested area as I said there's fog almost every night so I'm on high alert for deer raccoons and such Critters it's just like every other drive home so far I have a podcast on focusing on the road thinking of

getting either a sausage McMuffin or MCG griddle from McDonald's and sometimes looking off the side of the road mod or any eyes reflecting off of my headlights all of a sudden I see some reflecting eyes out of the woods comes a coyote in my hometown coyotes aren't too rare I've seen them by my high school but I've never seen one outside of my hometown so it kind of surprised me I start slowing down as it crosses the road until it turns to my car and sits in the road it sat about 10 ft from my

car I'd seen no cars since leaving the residential area so I was going to go around it but I thought this was just too odd of a thing to happen to just drive away from it I expected it to just get up and walk away at any given second this is where I began to get very scared I honked my horn and after about 2 or 3 seconds it Smiles at me I have my bright side on so I can see it perfectly this coyote had human shaped teeth my heart dropped and every hair on

my body raised just as it is now recalling this incident it lasted about 1 second before sitting up and running into the woods I sat there in fear for about 5 seconds before shoving my foot on the pedal and driving at getaway speed I didn't stop and get food because I had and still have no appetite I thought the rest of the right home about what I saw once doubting I saw it but like I said with my brights on and it is close to my car as it was I saw it as clear as

day this coyote had human teeth and there was no doubt about it I'm very into the Paranormal and that includes cryp is it possible I ran into a skin walker or some genetically mutated coyote I am Native American if that counts for anything it's so weird typing this out but I'd like someone who knows more about these things to help out if they can I know one thing though and that is that I'm finding a new way to work hello everyone I'm going to tell you something that's happened to me this summer and I swear

it scared the hell out of me so hold on tight because this is going to be a bit long so this summer I decided to go camping alone in an isolated Forest I know I know it's not the best idea for someone who easily makes films but I needed to be with myself to unwind away from the world I found a spot on a wild camping app that looked perfect quiet far from everything with a beautiful view and no noisy neighbors basically Paradise to escape from daily stress I arrived there in the late afternoon I

set up my tent prepared a campfire and settled in for the evening the sun was slowly setting and the forest was beginning to plunge to Darkness it was really quiet too quiet there was not a sound not even the singing of birds I found it a bit weird but I figured maybe it was just the serenity of nature after eating I sat around the fire and watched the Flames just to relax that's when I started hearing strange noises at first there were creaking sounds as if someone or something was walking between the trees I figured

it was probably just animals so I didn't pay too much attention to it but as the night progressed the noises became more persistent regular creaking sounds almost like footsteps but they seemed to circle around the camp I tried to turn on my flashlight but the battery was almost dead I figured maybe it was another camper or hiker who got lost so I wouldn't spend the night wondering what it was I went a bit deeper into the woods with my flashlight the further I went the weirder the atmosphere became the trees seemed to close in around

me and the ground was strangely muddy I felt like someone or something was following me but every time I turned around there was nothing just darkness suddenly I saw something that made me stop in my tracks a blurry silhouette between the trees I couldn't make out any details but it was clearly a human form barely visible in the darkness my heart started racing and I decided to quickly turn around I didn't wait to see if the figure moved or not I returned to my tent as quickly as possible when I arrived at my Camp I

noticed something even creepier my tent had been undone the ropes were untied and the sleeping B was scattered I felt extremely vulnerable I stayed up all night lying in my sleeping bag listening to every noise every crack the next morning I gathered my things and left as quickly as I could I don't know what it was that night maybe it was just my imagination playing tricks on me or maybe I stumbled upon something much more sinister either way I will never go camping in this Forest again if anyone has a similar story or knows what

could be causing these noises I am interested see you later and be careful where you can I saw a skin walk ER last night last night at about 1:00 a.m. I snuck out of my parents house to go visit a friend of mine I ran about 6 miles through rural country land and back roads and arrived there about 2: in the morning my friend and I decided to take a walk over to a local Winery that has a playground as we're arriving it's about 2:59 a.m. we're walking up the winery's driveway and it splits into

two about 40 ft ahead for context we did not have flashlights there were no lamps or lights but it was very bright out due to the Moon my friend mentions that they have horses up here in Stables locked away we could go and see the horses if we wanted but as my friend is saying this a figure on four legs walks across the fork in the road ahead we stop and are like oh it's a horse it must have gotten out as we say that it stands on two feet pivots in our Direction and stares

at us its knees were bent and it stood about 9t tall it was very very skinny and it had a humanesque head to it its arms were probably about 5T long each it stared at us and then turned away and continued to walk on 2 ft my friend and I originally thought it was a horse then a person and and then we realized it was neither we literally began shaking and walking backwards in fear we then walk back to back for about a mile with our phone flashlights scared shitless as we heard something in the

woods keep in mind this is a rural neighborhood with trees on each side of us as we finally get to my friend's house I stood there and ended up calling my parents to come pick me up I wasn't worried about getting into trouble I was so scared I just wanted to go home it was roughly about 3:20 in the morning my parents got there 20 minutes later as I was on the phone I heard something all around me breaking sticks running through the woods and making noise all around me I start to cry on the

phone with my parents begging them to get there faster it stops and about 2 minutes later my parents arrive I get home and I call my friend to make sure this is real he confirmed that we did indeed see what we thought we saw this is not a madeup story this happened last night I'm never sneaking out again I've never heard of crawlers until today when I posted a story in response to a post in r/ paranormal someone told me about this sub and after reading a few stories here I think you'll all appreciate my

tale my friends and I used to set up camp a lot in Eldorado National Forest we had a spot along Sago Springs we used to camp at a lot one weekend we decided to go for a 3-day foraging camp we brought MREs in case we couldn't find anything some guns and some supplies to set up shelter but that's about it the first night was chill we cooked a bunch of craats and a squirrel my buddy shot we drank a few beers we brought and we slept fine the next day something felt off to me one

of my friends who was with me and I had had some really creepy experiences in this part of the forest in the past and it felt a bit like those the forest was dead silent and you felt like something was watching you I grew up in the woods so I know the signs of a predator but this felt different than a bear or a mountain lion when night fell my friends went 200 yard or so up the stream to do some stuff and I was alone in Camp the feeling got even stronger so I built

up the fire nice and big and grabbed the gun I kept hearing faint voices from the woods in the opposite direction of where my friends went they were low indistinct sounds but they were creeping me out majorly and my buddies had taken the only two flashlights poor planning in hindsight as I peered out into the darkness I caught a glimpse of something moving 50 yards or so out in the trees I snapped the rifle to my shoulder and got the scope on it it was pretty dark and the only light was from the fire but

I could see the outline of what I was aiming at it looked human but was on all fours and its arms seemed a lot longer than they should it stood a bit like an ape but very low to the ground I only saw it for a second before it lopped off deeper into the woods after I lost track of it I'd hear Light rustling in different directions around the camp Leaf scuffling the occasional twig breaking always away from where my friends went on the complete opposite side of the camp from where they departed I got

the sense that whatever it was it was stalking me I kept the fire high and was staying sharp looking out into the woods but I didn't see it again my buddies came back about 10 minutes later to find me a paranoid wreck glassing the tree mine with the scope I told them what happened and they got quiet they then told me the reason they came back when they did is that they started hearing the same I did over by where they were at and it spooked them we spent the second night of our trip with

a big ass fire and three Lookouts nobody slept that night in the morning we broke Camp as quick as we could and we High tailed it out of there we never camped in that spot again I posted this a while back but here's my encounter it happened when I was in my mid to 18s it was a Friday evening maybe about 6:00 p.m. I was walking my dog through the woods I was wearing my headphones I used to walk her all the time on this route so there was no reason to be afraid it was

very rare to see anyone else walking at this time of day on a Friday actually that's why I chosen to Walker then I'm coming down through this field SL Valley when all of a sudden I start to feel on edge the feeling just kept getting worse so I turned off my iPod and took my headphones off I was half jogging by the time I got to the bottom of this field my dog had taken off way ahead of me at this point I squeezed through a hole in the fence and onto the dirt paths surrounded

by trees I took the usual right and kept checking behind me well here's the horrifying part I keep turning around to check if anyone's behind me and I see someone or some shadow likee figure which is more what this looked like it flicks from behind one tree to behind another bigger oak tree I think I audibly yeled at this point but I kept kept power walking away I was still fairly close to whoever or whatever this was and tiny teenage me knew that I was unlikely to be able to outrun this thing I kept walking

a few more Paces before turning around again and this thing is now standing right in the center of the path further back near that tree it has its arms straight down but out from its sides its hands were fists and it was stood with this white like stance I say thing because it looked like the shadow of a man it looked like it had a cloak and a whitish brimmed hat but the whole figure was completely opaque it just looked angry and it was staring right down the path at me needless to say I sprinted

home from there and practically had a panic attack when I made it back I have no idea what it was but I know what I saw this was in the UK and urban legends about those woods and that crossroads area in particular is that they used to hang people back on that oak tree way back when whatever the hell it was it's not something I'll ever forget I used to work it for a public library system that consisted of four libraries in four different towns the main branch which was where my office was located used

to be an old train station and was widely rumored to be haunted I occasionally worked nights if I felt like it and it didn't take long for me to become a Believer I can remember many nights becoming so scared that I stood up and and walked out literally terrified with only my keys I would leave my laptop my work and personal items lying on the desk I just wanted to make it to the door I was that scared during one summer my son who was around 10 at the time wanted me to take him ghost

hunting at the library so we would go try to collect EVPs on digital recorders and ghost pictures on our digital cameras we would call out to the spirits while recording and taking pictures one very memorable Saturday night the place seemed really active we could hear rustling in the stacks and caught a whisper Voice Counting on our digital recorders the scariest thing was I was calling out if anyone is here give us a sign when we heard what sounded like someone with a book close by just a few shelves over from us as we walked closer

and rounded the corner we saw a book fall to the floor true story I felt like we were in danger so we immediately left but it doesn't end there the next day was Sunday and the library was closed we woke up early and went back to see if a book was lying on the floor where we thought it should be and it was but that's not all it was lying open and face down to a specific page I picked it up and read from from that page and it said Mr Smith picked up the bloody

knife and proceeded to finish off his latest victim only Mr Smith was not the name in the book instead the name was my last name which isn't near as common as Smith this has been almost 15 years ago I asked my son and my wife about it just to be sure before I posted this they remember it just like I do it was certainly interesting I work the night shift at a hotel so I've had a ton of weirdos come through but this is the most recent everything started off normally usually once I click in

at 11:00 p.m. I can just sit at the desk and only see a few people I am a loner I prefer it this way anyways about 2:30 in the morning a guy in his late 30s comes down and stands in front of me at the desk I've work this job for 5 years so I can pick out weirdos pretty well and I knew right away something was off about him he didn't say anything at first just stared at me so I asked him can I help you he mumbles something all I can make out is

the word coffee I tell him there's fresh coffee available in the breakfast area behind him he turns to look then looks back at me confused do you have some coffee I can take to my room my first thought is this guy is drunk as hell and I told him he could take a cup of the already made coffee or I could give him a couple of packets to take to his room he wanted the packets so I grabbed a couple and gave them to him hoping that's all he wanted and I could go back to

watching TV no such luck he kept standing in front of me looking at the packets of coffee confused I've had enough of drunk guy so I walk over to the other side of the desk and stare at the TV ignoring him after a few minutes he wanders into the breakfast area area and stares at the pots of coffee he then wanders over to the fruit the cereal yogurt back to the coffee just staring at everything and walking in slow circles after a while of that he stops looking at the food and looks at the ground

he then starts muttering to himself while he's walking in circles now he's officially freaking me out he's at least 6 in taller than me 50 lb heavier and I'm the only one on shift I start thinking of Escape options like locking myself in the laundry room running to the gas station next door whatever else I've had to do it a few times when things have gotten really bad so I try to plan ahead when someone is giving me bad vibes about 15 minutes after he starts walking in circles he heads back down the hall still

muttering I relax happy he's gone to bed to pass out and I'll have the lobby to myself again probably 5 minutes later I glance out at the front doors and he's right there staring at me smoking a cigarette and still talking to himself I'm starting to think he's high on drugs and that scares me enough to grab a pair of scissors when he's not looking and hold them down by my side I start to think about calling the police but what for he hasn't done anything so I decide to wait it out and hope he

goes to bed soon since it was a bit after 3:00 a.m. at that point for the next 30 minutes he walks up and down the Halls through the lobby and outside then comes back in through the back door and loops around again the third time he walks by me still talking I was terrified and was on the verge of saying screw it and calling 9911 anyway just to have someone else there with me just then an old woman walks up to the desk and asks me to call her a cab she has no idea how

happy I was to see her I call for her and start chatting her up very unusual for me just to keep her in the lobby the weirdo comes around the corner for the fourth time and the old woman tells him to pack his stuff they're leaving because he woke her up and that she couldn't go back to sleep apparently this old lady is the weird guy's mom and I feel much better knowing he was going to leave as soon as the cap got there as soon as she told him to pack his stuff he gets

angry he didn't want to leave he told her to go back to bed but she was adamant and after they argued for a bit which was awkward for me just standing there watching he goes upstairs to pack she explains to me she could tell he was getting agitated and it was time to take him home I talked to her for a while and she opened up to me and told me her son is schizophrenic and she's the only one who will take care of him she told me she just wished someone would take him for

just 6 months like a hospital to get him on his meds and into good routine I felt so awful for her she seemed so tired and helpless and I do have mental issues myself so I could relate to the struggle all of a sudden the weird guy comes running out demanding to stay and they argue again except this time he sees me watching and focuses on me storming up to the desk and screaming she's going to call the cops I didn't do anything are you going to clean my kitchen why haven't you put me in

your mouth yet and other horrible things while I just stood there stunned I held up the scissors to defend myself and his mom screamed stop do you hear what you're saying to her and he calmed down just as fast as he snapped the cat pulled up and as much as I felt for his mom I was happy to see them pull away so creepy skitso guy let's not meet again in my last year of college I picked up a job on campus working at the front desk in one of the residence Halls this meant that

I would be working weird overnight hours being the night person that I am I was all for it at the start of spring semester a new student named Ryan moved into a vacant room on the first floor not far from the desk I sat at 3 nights a week Ryan was a tall lanky 20s something year old guy with blonde hair who showed no expressions and seemed to be a bit socially awkward he had an off Vibe about him from the start in that first week he came to the desk frequently to ask questions and

I gave him the best advice I could well my kindness might have been a mistake about a week later I'm sitting at my shift to 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. just minding my own business and catching up on some homework Ryan comes running down the hall he starts a conversation trying to get to know me I'm being polite and listening knowing he probably hasn't made a lot of connections yet being new well he shifts the conversation and starts talking about religion rambling on the next hour and a half about biblical plagues the world ending how

the peace sign and various other hand signs mean that you praise the devil inquiring my own personal beliefs aggressively telling me that I'm going to hell even though I told him I was also a Christian and how he desired to join the Jiu-Jitsu Club so he could learn how to crush someone's windpipe all while I'm just listening and I've only said a few words red flags were going up in my head the whole time realizing that this guy might not be stable he's pacing the floor and raising his voice at me so I started recording

the conversation in case I needed proof for my boss or if something happened I even had the campus police number pulled up on my phone because the conversation started getting extremely uncomfortable and he had a lot of anger in his voice he would stare at me without linking while he talked as he carried Dawn I started to ignore him hoping that he would leave as it was almost 2:00 a.m. at this point and I was all by myself luckily he eventually went to bed and when he did I called my boyfriend immediately almost in tears

to tell him about what had happened over the next few days my co-workers would update me that Ryan had come to the desk looking for me he was asking questions like what's her work schedule and where does she live knowing that I work mostly nights this was unsettling because I did not like being at the desk alone with him this continued on over weeks where he would come to the desk and ramble for an hour or more about unsettling ideas and his religion he would ask me questions about another girl who lived there things like

if he could have her phone number what floor she lived on what her room number was and if she was single he made it very clear though that he would only want her if she was pure otherwise he said she wasn't worthy of him just very odd things to tell someone who sits at a desk in the middle of the night it got to the point that if I heard a door open on the first floor I would run to hide in the closet so he wouldn't know I was working sometimes my boyfriend would come

sit there with me if Ryan wouldn't leave another night specifically I texted a coworker to call me from the desk phone and say that there was an incident they needed help with on the third floor so I could Escape he tried to follow me upstairs putting his hand on the elevator door so it wouldn't shut I pretended like I was taking a form up to my coworker and hid out in the third floor Comon area for about 30 minutes hoping he would be gone when I got off the elevator right as the doors opened I

saw his expressionless face staring back at me like he waited that whole time for me to come back I acted like I got the wrong form switched it and headed back upstairs for another 45 minutes to be sure he was gone luckily when I came back he was I eventually brought it up to my boss as did a few co-workers of mine who were worried about my safety since was always the middle of the night that decided to feed off my vulnerability of being alone she ended up having a conversation with him because he was

making a lot of residence and staff uncomfortable and she said the next time he gets a complaint they're filing it with campus police after the first 2 months I didn't have any other issues with him but I always hid anytime I thought he was coming leaving work was very scary because I had to park so far and the parking lot wasn't lit very well but I'm very thankful nothing bad ever happened I hate to think about how long this could have gone on for or what would have happened if I said the wrong thing during

one of those Creepy Nights so I work the graveyard shift and every morning after work I take the same bus home a little over a year ago a man started to take the same bus a man which I would not have even noticed unless he wouldn't have been glaring at me so obviously I didn't pay attention to that at first he seems to be an older man and I do understand that my appearance might be weird or questionable for some older folks why I started to pay ATT attention was because he kept staring at me

so obviously trying to get eye contact he typically sat in the front of the bus and I sat in the back but at times he'd just all of a sudden turn around for minutes and stare at me at first it made me uncomfortable especially when he started to pay attention to the stop I'd hop off at every time after I guess he learned my stop a few stops before mine he would turn around and just shamelessly stare at me then about 6 months back I was really tired after work and since the bus right is

about 40 minutes long I started to doze off in the back of the bus when all of a sudden I just got this someone is looking at you feeling and I opened my eyes there I was 6:00 in the morning in the back of the bus alone and the man is sitting right in front of me face turned my way I wasn't feeling tired at all anymore but I decided it's safe to close my eyes when the man turned away from me I dozed off for a couple of minutes and I woke up just in

time I was tired and a bit out of it when I hopped to the back door as I stood up from my seat the man just puts his hand in front of me I got really confused and took an earphone out to ask what was up it be became apparent that the man was originally not from my country and his pronunciation was very stiff I heard the word hand I'm sorry what I asked a bit startled he asked me to take his hand like I said I was really out of it so I just looked

at him dead in the eyed and blurted out no in confusion and walked right past him after that encounter he started to come sit closer to me instead of sitting in the front of the bus even when I felt his eyes on me every single time I just kept telling myself it's all good I have quite bad anxiety and sometimes I tend to overthink things but I decided that this was not one of those cases last week the man got on the bus like every morning and he sat on the other side of the aisle

from me I saw him from the corner of my eye he was leaning towards me so I took out my earphone and gave him the what look he said something I couldn't understand and ended it with saying I said good morning oh morning I nodded politely and then went about my business the whole time I could see him just staring at me and all of a sudden I felt a bit more uneasy even though I had already started to not care about the situation this morning like every other I hopped on the bus just scrolling

through my phone when after a while I saw Lex appear in my vision I looked up and there he was looking at my backpack I placed to the seat next to me he smiled and said good morning before I got to say anything he sat right in front of me and leaned closer from a distance I would say the man was in his late 60 s but from a closer look I'd say late 50s he looked like a grandpa I don't know how else to put it a smiley but creepy Grandpa how are you I

politely told him I'm good but I didn't engage in conversation so he'd understand to leave he mumbled something and glared at me in this weird way I didn't say anything I just looked at my phone and then he said are you taken in these types of situations I always say yes so I nodded oh too bad he smirked I thought you were but I had to ask did you really I thought he tells me it's sad that he doesn't have anybody to squeeze he asks me how long I've been taken do I work in a

kindergarten or at a grocery store neither I reply he asks me where I work what time my shift starts and at this point instead of just feeling uneasy I get irritated it's 6:00 in the morning and a man twice my age who's been glaring at me for a year keeps asking me question after question all of a sudden he stood up and sat right behind me thinking he finally got the hint I put my earphones back in only to take them out to a few minutes later because he leans closer and asks so what year

were you born I answered him 1997 he nodded and leaned back and then he said so you're that young he sat behind me for about 10 minutes before he once again stood up and went to sit in the front of the vehicle every now and then just turning to look at me this isn't that scary but it was very uncomfortable I think I might need to change bus I've got about a million of these let's not meet experiences but this is one of my favorites and my brother's favorite story to tell his friends about me

so here goes about 12 years ago when I was 2 too I worked at a video store it was a few days before Halloween and my manager asked me if I would work it since everyone else wanted it off so me being the good employee I am I said yes and asked if I could dress up she agreed and said I could dress up as whatever I wanted can I dress up as a chick I was joking actually until she told me I didn't have the hair on my nuts too challenge accepted I went out

shopping and bought a wig dress and some makeup and I borrowed a bra from my current crazy girlfriend at the time another story for another time I did my makeup the way I saw my girlfriend do and proceeded to walk to work now I only lived about a half mile from the store and since I lived within walking distance to everything I didn't see the need for a car at the time so I started walking I had to cross the street walk across a bridge cut through an abandoned parking lot and through an alley and

I was there it was dark outside but I've never had anybody bother me while I was ever out for a nightly walk until this night about halfway across the bridge I look up and see a man in his late 20s maybe early 30s walking towards me as I get a bit closer I realize the is checking me out I giggle a bit and laugh at the thought that I must make a pretty hot chick I walk past him and continue on my way as I walk and continue to let my mind wander in la la

land I get through the parking lot and start down the alley when I hear someone say hey sexy girl and I feel my ass get slapped not like a love tap but full-blown painful ass slap the kind that leaves red marks what the I yell as I turn around and confront this and realize it was the punk I passed on the bridge oh man I'm sorry he was obviously caught off guard looking back on it now I can't stop laughing as I type this but at the time I was beyond liid I grabbed him by

the cuff of his shirt and shoved him on the ground I moved in to kick him a few times but he was pretty quick to get up on his feet and run away he took off the way we came repeatedly yelling I stood there just stunn for another minute thinking to myself what in the hell just happened I went into work and as soon as my manager saw me she started laughing I didn't think you were actually going to do it of course she laughed even harder when I told her I was almost sexually assaulted

so pervy guy for your sake let's not meet again about a year ago I spent a decent amount of time working in a different city than I live in one day was particularly cold and the Airbnb I had booked was pretty far away I didn't have a car and had failed to pack a warm coat I ducked into the Kmart nearby to buy something I could wear on my walk with the intention of returning it the following morning my best option was this enormous double XXL fuzzy bathrobe my walk to my place for the night

led me through this beautiful botanic garden along a Waterway it was nearing midnight and I was halfway through my journey I'm usually quite aware when I'm out particularly at night but I had let my guard down a bit due in part to the enormous bathrobe I had wrapped around me it was like wearing a fuzzy suit of armor suddenly I felt intensely uncomfortable I couldn't quite put my finger on what I'd heard but my immediate thought was a couple of men holding a whispered conversation I rounded a corner and ducked into some trees sucking my

breath in and straining to understand what I was hearing light footsteps voices two men neared my hiding spot on the path and I internally paraded myself for not being more careful nobody was out so screaming would do nothing I'm a very small female so the situation was one of my worst nightmares as they passed I heard she's around here somewhere I felt physically sick until one of the guys lets out a low whistle and I heard the jingle of a caller a dog scurrying past my spot and a good girl followed by Smoochy noises an

intense sense of relief followed they were talking about their beloved dog not hunting me they seemed harmless and Dearing even I readjusted my bathrob to cover my head it was so cold and I popped out from the trees I didn't realize until I later looked at myself in the mirror that the bathrobe arm arms were now on top of my head sticking out like some grotesque bulbous monster appendages I also didn't realize that the men had stopped or were walking very slowly only a few meters ahead of me on the path one of the men

screamed in Terror when they saw my emergence from the trees the other swore loudly and they both took off running across the bridge over the Waterway followed closely by their dog who was now born working frantically I still have the picture I took of myself in the mirror after the incident and I get the giggles every time I see it I must admit it was a rush to finally be on the other end of Al let not me I'm not the best Storyteller but I'm not here to dramatize or exaggerate a spooky story either I

just thought I'd give my real experience not anything really crazy but I hope this is the right place to share it also a trigger warning to anyone sensitive to the topic of someone ending themselves after I graduated last May I decided to take up a job at my local jail nothing longterm I just figured I'd work a year and save up some cash before College Flash Forward a bit and I'm only a few weeks into training I've always liked the idea that ghosts really existed but at that point I really couldn't say I ever actually

saw one however that all changed while taking post one night it was just a bit after 5:00 a.m. and I was sitting behind my desk absolutely bored to tears so being a good little Deputy I was spinning around in my chair honestly trying not to fall asleep this was hour 11 of a 12-hour shift so I'm just killing time before I get to go home now to give you a bit of visual of where I am I'm in a giant room with a bunch of cells at one end of the room is the officer's desk

with big Windows behind it these windows are also really reflective so officers can look into the pot from the hallway but inmates can't look out into the hallway for from inside the Pod at the other end of this pod are all the cells this particular pod has some cells that were behind a second pane of glass I hope you're still with me because this is important I promise anyways I'm spinning around in my chair at my desk and happen to glance up at the reflective Windows behind the desk as I do some movement catches my

eye upstairs there's someone walking around up there out of their cell but behind the glass I stare at disbelief for a moment and I instantly freak the out I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of holy who the hell is out of their cell at this hour oh man my ass is grass man I quickly turn around and see no one up there I scramble and check the monitor that gives me control of the cell doors and make sure all of them are locked which they are I even go up there myself and make sure everything

is as secure as can be somewhere in the middle of me making sure I'm not about to get fired it dawned on me that was a ghost there was no mistaking it I 1,00% saw someone up there now I don't mean I saw a quick little Shadow or a suspicious looking speckle of dust no I was distinctly looking look at someone in an orange jumpsuit walking around up there I could tell you this guy's haircut his height General build and even what kind of beard he had to be honest I was totally banking on this

happening at some point I mean from my first day I could tell that the place was Uber haunted so I immediately get my Corporal on the horn and tell her excitedly that I saw a ghost but things don't end there after that I was bragging to anyone and everyone about my little encounter with some mixed reactions my sergeant says he doesn't really believe in ghosts but some deputies told me they've definitely seen some paranormal stuff on duty too however it's what the sergeant on dayshift shared that has really stuck with me he told me that

they had an inmate and themselves in that same pod a few years prior I had already been told that by a few people who'd been there a while I gave a description of the guy I saw and we decided to look up the inmate just to see if they looked the same it was him it was definitely the guy I saw walking around upstairs right down to his skinny face and the billy goat beard there was no mistaking it I've talked to some inmates about it and I've had more than one tell me that some

sometimes they can see and hear someone walk by their cells and peeking in at the late hours of the night it can't be a correctional officer they're talking about because they're always wearing an orange jumpsuit well that's my spooky experience I didn't really have any notable encounters after that but I'd be happy to answer any questions any of you might have but I hope you found this interesting I got a new job that my job there was this guy who used to watch me whenever he was around we didn't work together but we worked in

the same Department we did sometimes work together but it was rarely all the weird stuff happened a few months after I started a new job and moved within walking distance to my new job one October night I was walking home when a tall man wearing a hoodie came suddenly out of some bushes as I walked by I found this bizarre so before I entered my apartment I looked back and saw him standing by some trees watching me when he realized I saw him he jumped behind the trees to hide I told my boyfriend and he

thought it was a drug dealer anyway I started walking through a different Trail when a month later I saw the same man this time he was crouching by the trailer of some parking lot he got up and started walking away from me but he kept on watching me after a week he showed up again but this time I was halfway to my home and he came out of hiding behind the trailer and started walking towards me I beelined from my apartment Store and ran inside this time here he knew which apartment I lived in as

the previous times I would walk around to the front of the building so that he wouldn't know which apartment I lived in he seemed like he was trying to figure out where I lived as he could have attacked me multiple times it doesn't end there I got laid off and got a new job after 3 weeks of working there I was getting on the bus when this guy who looked similar to the guy in the parking lot was watching me get on I quickly hurried to the back of the bus when he got to my

stop he pulled the string and got off I got off as well but then decided to wait for this guy to keep walking but unfortunately he slowed down his Pace seemingly waiting for me to pass him I ended up walking behind him until we got to some lights and he wouldn't move I decided to walk fast and hide from him in case he was looking for my new job's location during the time I work there I saw my ex-coworker on the train when I was heading back from my interview he saw me going in the

same direction as him and he started running he ran pretty slow like he had a limp or something it was kind of strange but anyway I also saw him hanging out at the mall when I was there with my mom but this doesn't really matter as it's a popular place anyway I got laid off from this job due to the pandemic and I had a month where I didn't go out outside much after a month I got a new job within walking distance after 1 week I was leaving work when there was a guy just

watching me again he looked similar to the previous guy watching me when I was walking home so I ran away and got to some lights but I couldn't see him anymore for about a month and a bit I didn't see anyone one night it was relatively warm I was closing close to midnight and was walking home when I saw a white car parked behind some store seemingly out of view of any security cameras I was suspicious of it as it had its headlights on and it seemed like someone was sitting in there I'm walking by

it and kept looking over my shoulder at it until I decided it was probably safe anyway not a second goes by and I get this feeling I should look behind me I look and I see my ex-coworker walking towards me I start running as fast as I could and the adrenaline helped me get away I didn't look back until I cleared some space between us and I couldn't see him anymore luckily there were some men waiting for the bus at the end of the road so I wasn't too worried he'd come running for me as

I have seen him run so another month goes by without me seeing him but I assumed he was on vacation as he showed up approximately a month later one night in early may I was walking over to a grocery store to pick up some groceries I really needed after work as it was only 9:00 p.m. so as I'm walking there some guy wearing a hoodie comes up from behind me he starts walking towards the bus terminal but I guess he overheard my conversation to my boyfriend as I was telling my boyfriend that I was going

to the grocery store so I could pick some stuff up and walk home all I get to the grocery store and get my stuff when I'm about to start walking home I see some old looking guy dressed like a teenager standing outside of the grocery store he was wearing the same clothes as the guy I saw earlier and he was watching me and trying to get close to me I start telling my boyfriend to get an Uber instead and I walk over to some bags of fertilizer to hide from this guy but then I notice

him start to look for me I still stare at him and make eye contact letting him know that I know he's up to something messed up he stares back with these soless eyes and luckily then my Uber showed up and I hopped in I'm not sure if the guy has anything to do with my ex-coworker or if he was some random psycho but I do know that it helped me look out and it ended up saving me as I made my boyfriend meet me after work after that I was a extremely paranoid and always on

the lookout for creeps I made my boyfriend meet me after work if it was dark out a few days later after no bizarre events my boyfriend comes and meets me when I see some car with its headlights on parked in front of a store we had to pass we start walking by it when it slowly starts driving away seemingly watching us walking away we get to some lights and I see the same car now in another Plaza driving slowly and watching us freaked out I tell my boyfriend and he gets scared I assumed it was

my ex-coworker as the car this time looked like his mom's car I had seen his mom come pick him up at work once and she was driving a car that looked like this one the next night we also saw some man with a black van with a passenger door wide open hovering around it and when we passed him he started to follow us we were freaked out so we started to run a bit until we got further away 10 minutes later I see some guy wearing a hoodie hiding behind some building with his back against

the wall I don't know if the last two incidents are related but it sure terrified my boyfriend and die mind you I used to walk home by myself for a month without any incidents so I'm assuming once it was war out whoever had been watching me was planning something terrifying after this this I changed my hours at work even though my managers gave me a hard time despite all the insane I was seeing at night I got my managers to give me a ride home anytime I had to close or I would get uers but

I never walked again at midnight or even after 10: p.m. even with my boyfriend anyway I ended up seeing my ex-coworkers car multiple times in May when my managers drove me home eventually I stopped seeing his car as he probably realized I would never be out again at midnight anyway I started getting morning shifts at work and I finally don't close anymore at work however I don't know if I'm done being stocked or not last month the sun was starting to set at around 9:00 p.m. I was walking by myself to the grocery store when

I saw my ex-coworker drive past me I ignored it as I've seen him in this area and it's probably unrelated anyway 30 minutes later as I'm walking back with my boyfriend my boyfriend had gone to a store so my ex-coworker might have thought I was alone I see the guy who was watching me in the parking lot in that same parking lot that guy is back and he's lurking around he sees my boyfriend and I and starts walking away but keeping an eye on us until we get get into our apartment unfortunately due to having

in-person classes at my University I'm back to working until 10 p.m. but I have my boyfriend meet me anytime I do I'm worried it's all going to start back up again I'm genuinely scared to be honest as this has been going on for almost a year so this is my second entry here I have a few to add unfortunately this happened around 2015 when I was working in a cute fancy little boutique hotel six substantial rooms and often had big names stay I work doing a bit of everything guest assistance reception service in the restaurant

drinks whatever was need needed really one of the line Cooks was from Eastern Europe he was about in his mid-40s and worked fulltime he was always overly friendly with me to the point of making me feel uncomfortable commenting on how I looked staring too long standing Too Close touching me where opportunity arose just on the arms back shoulder with a palm nothing overly outrageous but there was a creepy feel about it to give you a picture I'm 5'2 and a slight build this guy was tall about 6'5 and he had a broad strong build he

looked like he worked out English was his second language but he spoke it fluently often he would stand close to me or stand between me and my exit where opportunity presented and give me compliments staring at my chest and saying well you're good come eyes must love you you're so beautiful I love your legs in the uniform you should always wear a skirt with those legs yada yada and whatever else making me feel really queasy he was also a born again Christian and love to recite random scriptures to me because he knew I grew up

a Catholic and figured for some reason I would appreciate it I did let him know I wasn't religious and he volunteered that he only recently become born again Christian I asked him what made him turn to the Lord and I really wish I hadn't his response it doesn't matter what you've done in the past no matter what when you become born again you get a clean slate and forgiveness he had the creepiest smile when he said this and was staring at me with his head lowered if you can get that Sinister image I mean it

was fullon weird this guy has done some up I have zero evidence of this other than he gave those vibes anyways I went on holiday for a few weeks and on my first shift back I'm setting up the restaurant for the evening dinner and he shows up to work his shift he comes up behind me with his mouth and nose against the edge of my neck I could feel his warm icky breath he breathed me in Mike smelled and inhaled me and said um I've missed your smell it was gross I wanted to vomit I

just gave a weird awkward smile and ushered away I went down to the office to take a second to chill my general manager was in there at the time and he asked me what was up I told him what had happened but I said it wasn't a big deal that I was fine and just wanted a second to chill he was like no he went to the kitchen and fired his ass on the spot he came back and told me I had nothing more to worry about that was it I never saw him again I

did kind of fear Him trying to get back at me or something but no that was a really good shift that night it felt great to see my boss stick up for me like that hell yeah to good bosses so there were these two guys that came into my work it was normal until my coworker pointed out that these two guys were staring at me very intensely they were nonstop staring and even turning their heads to stare they weren't even hiding it at all the stare was very predatory likee and made me feel extremely uncomfortable

it was like they were watching my every move every time I would look in their Direction they would be staring at me for context I work at a restaurant and we have bottomless drinks they ordered food and had eaten it but kept on refilling their drinks staying at the table for at least 4 hours which is highly unusual as customers will typically spend 45 minutes on average or less as we are sort of like a fast food restaurant one guy was on his computer the other was on his phone sometimes but the majority of the

time they were just staring they were barely talking to each other and were mostly silent one of the guys left at some point but the other one was still there until I had to clock out the guy also asked me a few questions when he asked me for ice cream that being where I'm from because apparently I looked foreign to him and he asked if I came from Spain it was pretty unusual when I left the restaurant and I turned around the guy was right behind me I panicked and stopped the guy walked past me

and I walked in the opposite direction I called my mom and got home safe I'm nervous about this and I'm feeling very uncomfortable although nothing happened I'm worried that I'll see them again my gut feeling is telling me they had bad intention I work as an EMT for an ambulance company EMS has always been full of superstition and most of us believe in the Supernatural on account of all the crazy gruesome stuff we get to see On Any Given shift every company every EMT every firefighter has a story about the station that is haunted or

something that happen to them can only be explained as paranormal for the company I work at we have about five stations each with their own stories only one or two truly scary stories though mostly things like employees seeing shadows out of the corner of their eyes getting uneasy feelings in the stations or hearing an unexplained knock Voice or being hissed or growled at occasionally the station I work at was no different the station I work at is our main station meaning that is where we keep all of our extra resupply so it's not uncommon for

various Crews to be going in and out of the station at all hours of the day it was common knowledge that the ambulance Bay was creepy at night and people report hearing voices footsteps or ambulance doors opening and closing out in the garage now I've worked at this station for 2 years and I've heard these things but it's always been easy to dismiss as my partner doing something out in the bay or another crew doing some late night resupply the only experience I've had there that I could explain was I was dis disly growled at

in the garage late one night at the time I quickly realized that the only person in the bay was me and I certainly didn't growl it myself I quickly laughed that was all I ever experienced there and for the most part I felt very comfortable at that station until last night the station is small and consists of a living room with a kitchenet attached to a hallway this hallway led to the garage on one side the bathroom on the other and at the end of the hallway is a door leading to the Junior's bedroom which

you can then walk through to get to the senior's bedroom if you go into the garage there is a staircase that leads into the attack that stretches above the entire living quarters of the station me a junior and my partner a senior are dead asleep in our respective bedrooms all the doors are closed I'm awoken to all these loud banging noises and the walls were shaking something huge heavy and fast is stomping and running around in the attack upstairs it's stomping and running so loud it's quite literally shaking the walls whatever it was must have

been huge to have been making sounds as loud as this then it gets faster it's so fast and loud it's running AC cross the entire length of the attack it's moving faster than anything can move the Stomping is happening one right after another it almost sounded like there were 10 people up there or a creature with too many legs running right above my bed it's so fast it's too fast I'm sitting upright in my bed now huddled in the corner of the bedroom absolutely horrified I get this deep visceral Primal feeling of dread almost like

what prey must feel like when they're being hunted and suddenly it's as if something is placed into my mind and I just know with every fiber of my being that it knows that I'm awake and that I know it's there kind of like a sick and twisted version of that Spider-Man meme in between the stomping and the running I can hear this barking whirling sound it's hard to Des cribe kind of like a grunt mixed with the sound of wind it's making this sound as it's running I've realized that it's moving so fast that it's

creating wind that's making swooshing and whipping all around it and it's grunting as if it's running so now I very silently get up and walk over to the senior bedroom door and I try to open it but it's locked I feel as though I can't make a noise or it will make its way through the station and kill me I'm quietly knocking on the door I'm crying pleading for my partner to let me in I'm thinking this is so loud there's no way she's asleep but she is she's out cold and I don't get a

response I decided that my partner had the right idea I crept over to the junior bedroom door separating my bedroom from the hallway that leads to the garage and the rest of the station and I locked the door I silently crept over back to my corner in bed I get under the blanket and begin to text my senior it's 1:45 a.m. and I'm begging her to wake up over text and I'm describing to her what I'm hearing she's not answering so I text her fiance and asked him to call her and wake her up but

he's not answering either it's at this point I decide to text my mom as I'm sitting there I get a familiar feeling like before an intense dread a star realization of pure truth it doesn't even feel like my own thought more like a piece of truth that was just slipped to me by the universe the thing upstairs is not human I'm explaining to my mom what I'm hearing all these loud swishing wind sounds and stomping and running in I then hear it run down the stairs when I tell you my heart stopped and my soul

left my body when I heard it coming down the stairs my stomach dropped into my ass and I was nauseous I genuinely thought I was going to die I was waiting for it to start pounding on the door and I'd never been more thankful in my life because I thought to have locked it earlier I was waiting for screaming or the door to start shaking or something but it never came it ran impossibly fast and hard back up the stairs it went up the stairs down the stairs across the attack down the attack above my

head in circles back down and then up the stairs again and repeated itself all too fast so now I'm absolutely hysterical on the phone with my mom no one ever prepared me for dealing with being hunted and taunted by a demon my mom is trying to calm me down she asks me what do you want me to do I don't know I don't know what she can do I'm not even sure what to do myself I just whisper to her I don't know what to do just please don't hang up she tells me to bang

on my partner's door and wake her up and I do my partner wakes up up and I hear rustling in her bedroom and she says yeah in a dismissive voice and slowly walks over to the door and opens it I literally shoved her back in the room whipping around faster than I've ever moved in my life I closed and locked that door I explained to her everything I was hearing and we go and sit on the bed the activity is dying down now but it's still active enough for her to hear the running upstairs too

2 The Time Is Now 2:45 a.m. another crew that gets off at 3:00 a.m. got to our station to put their truck away and then clock out to go home my partner and I huddled together glued to each other's hips we hurried outside together to meet with them out in the building parking lot it's at this point that we realize that a completely separate crew from around 11:00 p.m. that night had not only left our truck full of medical equipment and drugs unlocked out in the parking lot in an area known for being not so

great but also left our garage door open giving literally just anybody access to our entire station my partner and I are terrified and we aren't willing to go back into the station at this point the crew that's getting off at 3:00 a.m. goes into the station to clock out and when they come back out they see us hanging out in our truck they joke with us for a minute over the ghost and make fun of us for sleeping in the truck for the rest of our shift we asked them if they heard anything and to

which the senior on that crew who's been there for a long time and staunchly believes in the Supernatural says yeah it definitely sounds like there's someone walking up there but he's harmless my partner and I just say harmless that thing is not harmless they leave and we decide to call for the police department to make sure sure that it wasn't some drug addict that had gotten in while the garage door had been left open the police department got there and searched very thoroughly and found no one and also no evidence of anyone being there it's

4:00 a.m. and we notified dispatch that the station was cleared to be safe by the police department and together we venture back inside we elected to keep the truck in the parking lot so we would have to go back into the garage we got a call or needed to make a quick escape from the demon and together we huddled together in the living room with all the lights on until we got off at 700 a.m. I heard a few minor bumps and bangs but nothing crazy things that could be dismissed as house noises and whatnot

I barely slept and I'm not looking forward to going back there later this week for a bit of an update it's nowhere near as crazy as what happened the last time but there was some activity during my shift today that I figured you all would like to hear most of the shift was perfectly fine we were busy and out of the station most of the day and also a couple of times throughout the night while we were in the station though there was some tension the air was thick with our own anxiety and I'm sure

that this is what caused what I'm about to tell you for a bit of context out in the bay there's the C cage it's literally just a large metal cage that runs along the back of the garage and it's where we keep all of our resupply the door to the cage is always supposed to be locked this is to prevent Crews from going in and messing up the company inventory the only people with keys to the cage are the supervisors who don't come in until around 700 a.m. I was lying in bed I was half

asleep just kind of staring at the ceiling when I heard what sounded like the cage door being intensely rattled by something it didn't sound like someone was trying to open the door it sounded like someone grabbing a hold of the door and just started violently shaking it this went on for about a minute I went to my partner's bedroom to see if she heard it and found that she slept right through it we sat there for about 30 minutes listening for it and there was nothing it's about 550 and I can hear distinct footsteps up

in the attic nothing crazy like the insane Marathon running from the other day but quiet footsteps from up there my partner says she can't hear them so I just go back into my room it's around 6:30 a.m. and I can still hear an occasional footstep up there and to be clear no one goes up there because it's creepy and there's nothing up there anyway it's just some boxes and an extremely extremely dark attic space because I was only hearing some footsteps I decided to go out into the garage and investigate when I got into the

garage the footsteps stop there was no one in the garage when I went over to the cage to try and recreate the noise I heard I found that the door was open I'm not totally convinced that it wasn't just a person opening the cage door a bit aggressively the only problem with this is that I have no idea who it would be because as I said there were only a few people who have a key to the cage and none of them were there they wouldn't be there for another few hours I went back inside

and I could again hear the footsteps upstairs and also some that sounded like they were in the garage I tried to record the footsteps but they were too faint to pick up in video I also wanted to point out that the crew we met outside the other day that was making fun of us for hanging out in the truck had made comments about how he likes to do resupply and slam the cage door though I guess today he just wanted to Rattle the door I'm not totally convinced that what happened today was a ghost and

not a person but but I'm not totally convinced that it was a person and not a ghost it's now 6:50 a.m. I get off shift in 10 minutes I won't be back here for another 10 days and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't sad about that this is how being a paranoid Stoner saved my life or I could name it this how I chased to creep down the street with a kitchen knife now bear with me because I know this sounds crazy and I've been debating about telling it but now I feel like

I just have to get it out and I don't think there's a single person in my life I could tell this to without looking like a complete psycho wackadoodle afterwards I'm a woman I was 25 when this story happened for some mandatory backstory before the main part as you may have guessed I smoke weed I had smoked for a while mostly for recreational use but also partly because I have some insomnia and it helps with that the only downside being it made me a bit paranoid which was never a problem until I switched to vaping

my THC while the experience vaping gave was much better and easier I also started to get way more paranoid paranoid to the point that I thought there was someone else living in my house disproven by sober me by the way but I'd strategically hidden several of my kitchen knives around my place in case of a break-in my weed adult mind concluded and for those logical people thinking why didn't you just stop smoking then well I was weak i' had grown dependent on it and I just couldn't stop I then had to go buy Replacements to

use in the actual kitchen because I was high a lot those days and therefore paranoid a lot and I decided to leave the knives hidden around yeah I know don't worry it gets crazier I went and bought like four more and one large chopping style knife with an orange rubber cover on the blade bit which is important for later because after unpacking my items at home I had the strangest compulsion and rather than put the orange knife away I stuck it into my purse after a Time the knife became at home at the bottom of

my bag it felt the same as loose receipts tissues or tampons I had in there just adding to the miscellaneous back junk I never questioned now for a really crazy part of the story one day I'd finished my shift at work and I'd gone outside to get my dose vaping before my short walk home I then popped in some ey drops s and went to grabb my stuff but before I could leave my manager told me that my coworker had flaked on cleanup and that I had to stay to fill in for him and lock

up before I get hate for smoking at work my shift was over and it was a Friday needless to say I wasn't in the right mindset to argue and it took way longer to clean and lock up than it should have mostly because my manager flaked on me as well and I kept getting distracted when I left it was pretty late I was sober though not much and I made the poor choice of going the 10 to 15 minute walk home rather than pay for a ride and the even worse choice of taking a few

Vape hits before I set off that is where the real story starts the streets were a lot quieter the further I got from work and the paranoia started to set in I was glancing around a lot and that's where and I noticed him there was a man on the other side of the street who came around the corner he was in dark clothes with a big jacket and cap on despite it being dark out my hackles were already raced at this point and all my paranoid energy was hyperfocused on him so when he crossed the

street to walk behind me I was instantly on edge I couldn't relax with him behind me and I had a terrible feeling so I crossed over to walk on the other side of the street now you can only imagine my horror when rather than stay on his side he crossed over with me my brain immediately pulled a red card on that move alarm Bells started going off but I wasn't sure I wasn't imagining things in my semi High state so what did I do I crossed the street again like an idiot and then proceeded to

silently lose my when he followed me again I panicked knowing I'd probably given myself away that I knew he was following me there was no one close to help me I was alone on a dark street with this creeper who wanted God knows what from me and I was unarmed except you're not the thought popped into my head and I remembered I had that big orange covered knife in my bag my bag was wrapped over my shoulder in front of me so he couldn't really see me over open it and shakely rumage for the knife

I cannot describe the small Rush of relief I felt when I had it in my hand even more so when I took off the cover and it glinted back at me when I looked back the man was a lot closer and walking quickly towards me I froze and stopped walking he looked spindly as hell and I thought I couldn't outrun him so instead I turned around to f face him in what was both the stupidest and bravest moment of my life he seemed surprised by that but only when he saw the knife in my hand

did he stop approaching me we both just stood there staring at each other I couldn't really see his face from the shadow of the cap cast so I had no idea what he was thinking I was a barely composed Mass but I felt the strangest confidence radiating from the big knife in my hand while his hands were empty it was that same confidence mixed with my high brain and a nagging feeling that made me step forward I was stiff and terrified but my body started moving on its own and I started to walk towards him

staring straight at him he didn't move an inch but as I got closer and closer he finally shifted his weight and slid a foot back that little movement must have triggered some long dead Predator Instinct in my lizard brain because suddenly my gut screamed at me to rush at him and so that's what I did I broke out into a run straight at him and he nearly fell over his feet turning around I got so close to him I could have touched the back of his coat but instead I swiped downwards with the knife I

didn't even remember raising it slipped across the fabric brick but snagged on the Hem for just a second it would have fallen out of my hand if not from my death grip on it he must have felt it because in the next second he was bolting down the pavement like a man truly running for his life and I for whatever reason ran right after him he very easily outpaced me but I didn't stop and when he made the mistake of looking back with what I imagine was a horrified expression he stumbled slightly I think he

might have rolled over his ankle or something because he was suddenly much slower with an odd run there was so much adrenaline pouring through me I didn't feel afraid anymore I felt so alive I even felt a sadistic sort of pleasure watching him scramble to get away from me I think I might have laughed out loud it all came to a stop when my sane brain finally asked me what will you do if you catch him now that thought immediately shut me down and I stopped running after him I watched while he raced off disappearing

around a Bend while I panted I was bent over hands on my knees trying to catch my breath and understand what the just happened was I still so high I just imagined it did I really just run after a man with a knife what would I have done if I had had caught up with him the adrenaline rush quickly just turned into sheer panic and disbelief I started shaking like a leaf and realized I was still holding the knife I threw it into my bag turned around and started to run again I ran until my

lungs burned and my whole body achd and then I just painfully jogged and walked until I finally made it home locking my door behind me I dragged myself to the kitchen pulled some water out of the fridge and collapsed on the cold floor I was shaking so much most of the water ended up on my face clothes and all over the place I may have also cried a bit after sitting there for God knows how long my mind running the scene over and over in my head and all the terrible ways it could have gone

wrong I finally came to a conclusion that I was lucky as to have made it home and that I was going to stop vaping since I had no control over myself sure my paranoia made me notice him sooner and had prepared me with a knife but if it made me an easy target it could have got so so much worse it was my bad decision making when high that let me think it was a good idea to walk home so late I eventually got off the floor went to my room and flushed my vape juice

down the toilet I went back into the kitchen and took the knife out of my purse it had jousted when I ran and tore up the inside of my bag a bit I was both relieved and weirdly disappointed it didn't have any blood on it but I shoved that feeling deep down I considered throwing it away but after it saved my life that just felt cruel so I put the orange cover on it and left it on the countertop before taking an hourlong shower crying a ton more and then crawling into bed so yeah essentially

this is a crazy story about how I quit weed and terrified myself for months afterwards but now when I look back no matter how terrifying it was for me I can chuckle a bit and hope it was even worse for that creepy I hope the image of me running after him with a knife scares the out of him to this day oh and I still have the orange kitchen knife in one of my purses I work at a jewelry store in a small mall somewhere remote in Canada it's a fun job I love my co-workers

love the C customers and love the fixed schedule working in a mall gives me it's nice to know I'll be off by 6:00 p.m. every night gives me plenty of time to socialize and study outside of work the mall is a single loop with probably about 50 stores operating on average they employ a staff of about 30 people to keep them allall operating half of this staff Works admin and the other 15 or so work security as a regular 40-hour a week employee e I've had my fair share of interactions with security having them escort

me to the bus stop on the occasional night inventory had me work late were calling them into the store to help me deal with an irate customer over the years I became good acquaintances with a few of the security guards my favorites were will April and Mark will was the friendliest he'll pop his head into my store and say good morning to me when I'm opening April was the most by the books security guard she usually helped me deal with difficult customers Mark was one of the evening security guards so my only interactions with him

were escorts late at night to the bus during which he was quiet but polite a schedule Shuffle last year put will on parking lot patrols April mostly on the evening shift that put mark on day Duty not the end of the world just kind of sucked no longer having a friendly conversation with Will as I opened the store and not having badass April around to step in when customers got unruly Mark was a lot more quiet than his two counterparts and just wasn't quite as friendly I didn't interact with him much for the first few

months after this new schedule started I'd give him a smile as he walked by my store and had him help out a few times with shoplifters but beyond that NADA no great friendship blossoming out of the schedule rotation or anything about 2 months after the schedule had changed I had my first bat encounter with Mark I was walking through one of the mall staff hallways to take a washroom break Mark happened to be walking just ahead of me also going to the washroom he looked me up and down and then remarked this is going to

be hard I got a bit of a chill when he said that but as soon there was an issue in the men's washroom someone passed out an stall or something so I asked him oh no why because I'm nosy and was excited to have a bit of M gossip to share with my co-workers he got a cold distant look in his eyes and said my doctor advised against heavy lifting and then winked at me I ran into the girl's washroom and texted my manager freaking out about what he had said knowing full well what he

implied with that remark Mark is a 45-year-old man with graying hair and a bit of a beer gut he stands at about 6'2 I'm a tiny 5' 7 girl who was about 20 at the time of this incident it creeped me out so much that I reported it to April my next shift who promised me she would handle it I stopped seeing Mark doing patrols and assumed he'd been switched back off of dayshift for about 2 weeks I heard nothing from him or any any of the other security guards I was just about to end

my shift one evening with about 15 minutes left before we closed for the day I hear someone enter my store and look up to see Mark walking towards me with just a look of pure hate on his face I wasn't working alone so I stepped into the back room to avoid dealing with him it didn't work mared through the door to my back room open and stood there screaming ing his lungs out at me how it was my fault he'd lost his job how I'd ruined his life and how I was going to pay for

my mistake he viewed the sexual comment he made to me as a joke and thought I was a Straight From Hell for reporting him he screamed for a few minutes and the second he paused for a breath I calmly told him to get the out of my store because I was calling the cops and security he ran out of theore store and a moment later will sprinted in he just screamed at me where the did he go and I pointed as I started to cry I was shaking from the confrontation as I gave my statement

to the police and the m security Mark had been fired after my report but security was adamant that it wasn't my fault Mark had racked up a bunch of complaints over his years and it was just the straw that broke the camel's back he was banned from all premises the day he got fired and criminally trespassed when he came in to scream at me authorities issued a warrant for him and it took weeks for him to reappear and be arrested during those weeks I was very scared Mark knew what bus I took Mark knew my

schedule Mark hated me every time I turned a corner I was scared he'd be there I believe he's out of jail now now but Mark let's not meet again I'm a longtime reader of let's not meet every time I read these stories of stalkers and creeps this memory pops into my head this happened in late summer of 2014 but I remember it clearly even 10 years later in the fall of the previous year I moved into an apartment with my boyfriend at the time I was freshly 18 and he was 22 he was a socially

inept groomer his name was Mike Mike was always emotionally distant and strange we had many shared interests but he refused to let me have friends make new friends or just go out and enjoy life in the city I'd invite him to concerts for B he liked and he'd decline I'd offer to introduce him to my friends he'd decline I'd go out to a show with my friends or hang out with my friends and he'd send me a word document i' arranged poetic slight describing every single fault of mine he could discern one time I smoked

pot and he compared me to Meda killing her children when I say poetic I mean poetic and when I say deranged I mean deranged naturally we broke up a friend of mine found him on a dating website and that was it my parents helped me lck his stuff into a truck and took him and all of his to his parents house done deal I kept the apartment and tried to settle back in it was fine I enjoyed my time alone and was free to have friends visit it seemed ideal upon falling asleep on my second

night alone I was quickly woken up by a knock at my door I checked the time it was maybe 3: to 4:00 a.m. it no thanks I tried to go back to sleep but the knocking happened again more rapidly more aggressively I kept ignoring it I didn't have that many friends and the friends I did have wouldn't be banging on my door at 3:00 a.m. eventually the banging stopped I enjoyed my next few days I went out with friends I had some drinks came home alone and went to sleep bang bang bang again at 4:00

a.m. bang bang rattle this time the guy was trying to open the door luckily this building was old and disgusting landlord paint jobs roaches and no AC but what I did have was two dead bolts and a door chain so I felt more Curious than scared I took a look through the peephole and saw a blonde man he didn't look like a junkie or a weirdo but I also didn't recognize him and no it wasn't Mike he was darkhaired and would have written a poem before he tried to break the door down so feeling young

stupid and for whatever reason safe enough to sleep I go back to bed but it keeps happening every single night I go to sleep every single night he knocks he bangs and slams at the door he Jiggles the door knob left and right he Yanks at it he flies into the door with the weight of his entire body he never talks he would be as a swad officer and for some reason I never call the cops I think it was my acab era I don't know it went on for about a week but I do

call my friend Pete Pete and I hung out for the day maybe for a bit of context Pete looked like the sniper in Saving Private Ryan skinny bony oddly serious Pete couldn't hurt a fly but he had a weird ghoulish face that made it seem as though he could so we waited and waited we plotted and we constructed a plan speaking in Whispers we waited Into the Night 12: a.m. 1: a.m. 2 a.m. 300 a.m. and then knock knock knock go time out the peephole we see the blonde man what a surprise he continues to

knock then Smash and bang with the chain lock on WE undid the two dead bolts the knocking paused we flick open the door knob and with the knife in each of our hands we scream we stab stupid Ikea kitchen knives through the Gap we scream we're going to kill you come back here and we'll cut your nuts off we swish the blades around like Pirates Who are only allowed to carry butter knives off and we scream again the blonde man stumbles back and jogs down the hall Pete and I laugh our asses off and to

my surprise the blonde man never returned all it took was matching his crazy I will never know why he targeted me or why he was so insistent in getting into my apartment though I can guess but freaky blonde man let's not meet again
