m. shift on the way into work that morning my boss said that he wanted to grab some coffee at the gas station since it was the only place that was open when we parked as he was getting out of the car he told me that he was going to hit the restroom as well I just nodded and decided to wait in the car I was exhausted from staying up way too late playing video games and I'm was planning on just resting my eyes until we got to work I'm assuming a few minutes had passed I don't know exactly how long it was because I was falling asleep while I was waiting for my boss with no notice the backseat door open and it startled me in my half asleep State I just thought it was my boss and then I felt movement behind me I finally looked behind me and just sitting there in the back seat was a woman she didn't appear to be homeless or looked like she was on anything she just looked strange and we made eye contact for a few seconds and then I Whi back around trying to process what was happening I'm a really quiet person and I was even more quiet back then like I said and I didn't know what to say or what to do I was just hoping my boss was going to come back out soon I started to finally work up the courage to ask what was going on and I was immediately freaked out when I turned around she was sitting there now smiling but looking forward I don't really know how to describe her eyes they were cold and dark and seemed almost lifeless even though she was kind of pretty even as I write this I still can't get the image of her out of my mind it had probably been about 30 seconds since all this started and I finally uttered my words when I asked her hey is everything okay you know this isn't your car right instead of answering with words she just started to scream erratically it was so erratic that it was shaking the entire car it felt like or maybe just my head I jumped back just out of panic confusion and shock and I saw my boss walking out of the gas station I just Dove out of the passenger side door and shut it behind me my boss was confused and asked me what the heck was going on and I just pointed to the woman in the back seat of his car we both just stood there almost in amazement and disbelief she was still screaming shaking and rocking back and forth we could physically see the car shaking from her wild movements from inside the car my boss approached the back seat where she was sitting and as he grabbed the door handle she put both her hands on the window and I kid you not started to hiss and growl at my boss he said nope and walked back towards me I was standing probably 10 ft away at this point he immediately called the police and we were hoping that they would arrive soon since it was a small town the entire time that we were waiting for the cops we could hear the woman screaming and the car still shaking after a minute or two of waiting for the police we went inside and watched her from inside the gas station it was just something unsettling about the entire situation she wasn't trying to rob us she only looked like she wanted to cause harm arm when we got near the car I mean she was sitting in the back seat so she wasn't even trying to steal the car it was just all so weird the cop showed up maybe 5 minutes after the call we went outside to greet the officer and fill him in on the situation and he looked confused and I'm not going to lie he almost looked kind of amused by the whole situation the officer tried to get the woman to come out calmly but after a minute of her screaming and growling he basically went into the car and apprehended her and this is where this bad dream truly turned into a nightmare upon arrest the officer had to remove four knives from her person yeah you heard that right this woman had four sharp objects on her thankfully she never showed us the knives or even hinted at the fact that she had them but even more disturbing perhaps is the fact that she didn't have an idea on her and she wasn't talking see the officer had no idea who she was this complete stranger came out of nowhere she got into my boss's car without saying a word she went from smiling to off the- wall insane then to cap things off she had no ID in four deadly weapons on her I've had some wild things happen to me over the years but I'd have to say that this was probably the strangest and most terrifying that's ever happened to me it's been years and I remember this moment like it was yesterday I'll never forget that woman's face and I honestly wonder what she's up to [Music] now when I was in college I attended film school and let me tell you I loved it what a great experience I met so many awesome people and learned so much and I always loved it when we had a chance to create a short film a chance to be able to tell stories with your unique vision for me I had a really hard time brainstorming and coming up with ideas while I was physically at the school I couldn't concentrate in the dorms and the library and places like that just didn't give the creative Vibe so I started going on these long night drives whenever I needed to brainstorm I'd throw on some tunes and just drive around letting my mind go to all sorts of wild places on one of these night drives I started to see flashing lights in my rearview mirror when I looked back the lights were getting closer and it was clear that it was getting pulled over for something I pulled over and noticed that the car pulled over behind me the lights went off and I just sat there for a minute or two contemplating what I could have done possibly to get pulled over like this I took the key out of the car and set it on my dashboard I don't know if that's like a universal thing but I was always told when you get pulled over put the key there I started to look in the mirror trying to make out any details that I could but it was just too dark from what I could tell it looked like a pickup truck but I couldn't be 100% certain I started to have my doubts that this was even a real cop I had just never seen a pickup truck cop car and I started thinking that it could have been an undercover cop but I still kept going to that same point which was what did I do finally someone emerged from the vehicle it was dark but I could clearly see that this person was wearing black pants pants and a black hooded sweatshirt full alarm Bells were going off because I was sure that I had never seen a cop with a hoodie on but it didn't speed away because I still had that fear of what if this was a cop I would be fleeing the police and they would have my license plate and it was a whole mental battle that I was having he looked like wobbling all over the place as he was walking towards my car and when he got to my window which was rolled down about a quarter of the way I could see most of his face face even through the hood as it was firmly on he starts shouting from outside the window step out of the vehicle now I could immediately smell the booze wreaking out of his breath towards my face through the little crack in the window and I know I'm stupid but it took me this long to finally be sure that this wasn't a real cop and I just yelled through the window no grabbed my keys and tried to start my car while I was struggling to find the keyhole the man and shouted again that I said get out right now he then lifted part of his sweatshirt and started to pull something out that looked like a firearm but I couldn't be sure I just ducked down put the car into gear and drove off as fast as I could I couldn't enjoy any relief in that moment though because within seconds I now saw him following me he didn't turn on the flashing lights but got close enough to my car that he was straight up tailgating if I SW switched Lanes he switched Lanes the speed limit on these dark roads was 45 mph and I was driving over 65 mph trying to lose this guy before I knew it I was almost 30 minutes away from campus and this guy was still directly on my tail I then did something that I had seen a million times in movies and I couldn't believe that it actually worked I was closing in on an on-ramp for the highway I waited until the last possible second and then swerved over over and got onto the highway forcing him to miss the ramp or he may have crashed about 2 minutes passed and I saw no lights behind me I hoped that I had finally lost this mad man instead of getting off at the next exit which I had a feeling that he may have thought was my plan I made an illegal u-turn on the highway and got to the other side I made the short drive back and got off the exit that I got on I had no idea where I was I drove around slowly for a while until I found a 24-hour gas station and I go inside and told this guy what had happened and basically just begged him to call the police in that moment which thankfully he did I also had to ask him for directions back to the school now this was before everyone had cell phones all the time so I couldn't just GPS my way back I had a brick phone that I usually just kept in my dorm and when the cop showed up I gave them all the information I could which honestly wasn't that much since it was so dark I mean how many people own a pickup truck and a hoodie probably Millions the cop was honest and told me that they most likely would never find out who the man was since I didn't get any plate information he was super nice though and escorted me back to the school just in case that man resurfaced I think about that night a lot and just how crazy it was and how stupid I was I wanted to punch the past version of myself for pulling over and not reacting faster whenever I have a truck tail gating me at night now I'm always reminded of that night and I just hope that all these years later that that truck man never [Music] returns a few years ago my girlfriend and I decided to drive cross country not for any special reason other than just for the thrill of the adventure we had done Beach trips cruises skydiving you name it but the one thing we never did was drive across the country I can't remember exactly what state we're in but it was somewhere in the Midwest of the country we found this cute little diner and decided to grab some food and that was the one thing that we wanted to do at each place that we stopped at find a diner and eat we were sitting in a small booth in the back of the restaurant and a middle-aged woman approached me she was short and had a bit of an average build her hair was red and short L with some curls at the bottom what I remember the most about her physical appearance was her bright green eyes I had never seen green eyes like hers before and they were just objectively very pretty but she pulled a curveball on me when she looked me right in the eye and told me that I had the most beautiful eyes that she had ever seen I just smiled and laughed a little bit I was flattered and I thanked her and went back to drinking my coffee this woman then sat down next to my girlfriend and continued to tell me how beautiful my eyes were at first it was nice but now all of this was getting very creepy and I could tell my girlfriend just wasn't having this at all it was probably a full minute or two of her raving about my eyes before she finally got up and went back to her table where she was sitting alone I started to bust my girlfriend's chops because she seemed a little jealous which I found funny because she's really not the jealous type at all I did notice a few times at the diner that the woman was staring at me but I pretended not to notice I didn't want to freak out my girlfriend and I'm not going to lie this felt a little obsessive and I was just ready to hit the road we left and hit the road for several hours and every few hours I would ask my girlfriend what she thought about my eyes just to rile her up she wasn't as amused as I was unfortunately while we were driving she kept telling me that she had a really bad feeling about that woman she claimed that something wasn't right right and she felt like she was dangerous or at least had the capabilities to be dangerous I didn't think necessarily like that even though she was a little wacky and eventually we stopped talking about her and just continued our trip with no talk about those eyes during the night sometime we decided to pull over at some sort of desolate Mountain Road I pointed to the sky and we couldn't really believe our eyes of the view of the Stars it looked like we were standing in space I took the truck off-road a little bit and decided to open the back of the truck so we could lay back there for a while and just stare at the night sky it was lovely and for a moment one of the best times of my entire life until it nearly became one of the most scary and startling moments that I'd ever experienced about 20 minutes after getting in the back of the truck we heard something weird I was sure that it was a coyote or some other type of animal that just dwelt out in the area but it became clear that the noise was a voice and not an animal I grabbed my softball bat which was in the back of the truck and jumped out from the back standing right there on the side of my truck was the woman from the diner she was just looking at me with her hands behind her back she wasn't smiling or frowning it was just the most blank expression I had ever seen she was clearly mumbling something but I couldn't tell what she was saying I told my girlfriend to just get into the front seat and grab my keys which she did quickly this woman never broke eye contact with me the entire time I slowly backed up to the driver's side door and once I was next to the door I basically just jumped into the truck I put the keys in and sped away but I didn't get very far because this woman dove in front of my truck I slammed on the brake thankfully I didn't run her over I could hear this woman crying and screaming on the outside and I was ignoring it to the best of my ability after that dive I swerved around her and just sped off leaving this huge cloud of dust in my retreat maybe a mile or so down the road we saw a car parked on the side of the road and we both just knew that it must have been hers the pit in our stomachs grew even bigger we must have made enough distance between us and her because thankfully we never saw her again and while we were driving away we started to reflect on that moment to realize just how scary and horrible that could have been we drove for hours after that Diner this woman followed us and somehow without us noticing and even across state lines what she intended to do to us is unknown and I'm happy that it's going to stay that way if I didn't jump out of the back of that truck when I did who knows what she would have done enough time has passed now that when we tell this story my friends like to joke that this woman is the monster from Jeepers Creepers because she wanted my eyes it's a ridiculous little chapter of my life and one that I'm happy to have escaped with no real harm [Music] done what do you do when teenagers terrorize you I mean that sincerely like what are the rules and laws well I'm going to tell you a story so you understand what I mean I stopped at a rest stop while driving to a town that is about 3 hours from where I live my job has me visit places all over the region and I usually have to be there at 6:00 or 6:30 in the morning so whenever I have to go far I usually just leave in the middle of the night one night specifically I wasn't feeling very well a little over halfway through my drive I felt like I wanted to stop at a rest stop to go to the bathroom wash my face and just maybe try to recalibrate myself because I was feeling horrible I was in the bathroom for maybe 15 minutes I don't need to go into any more details there but when I came out of the bathroom and started walking toward my car I was confronted by four teenagers clearly under the age of 18 one of them said something I couldn't understand him and one of the other ones hit me on the back of the head and before I knew it all four of them were kicking me while I lay in this fetal position on the ground it didn't help that I felt like I was going to throw up but I also felt like I couldn't defend myself because they were clearly teenagers they took my phone and wallet from my pocket and I was able to push one of them off of me while they were doing this I sprinted to my car and for once I was happy my lock button didn't always work my car was still unlocked so I was able to get in and I manually locked the doors these kids surrounded my car in the front in the back and I felt trapped trapped it's easy to say what you would have done in the situation but I promise you if you were in my shoes you would have been scared and confused as well whenever I told this story people would often just tell me you should have just run them over yeah I'm going to run over a bunch of teenagers and honestly in hindsight I probably would have done just that looking back but in the moment I was scared and I just didn't know what to do while I was trapped in this situation the kids kept smashing my car and trying to break my windows I could really only clearly see the one teenager in front of my car he was smashing my hood with both of his fists and some large blunt object in the other hand I think it was a pipe or something he had green hair and he was really skinny they were all skinny I do remember that but it was his face I remember the most you know when you can tell someone is just young like his face was so young and a few of these teenagers still had high-pitched voices I could hear them and I knew it was only a matter of time before they would get in if they kept smashing my car the way they were and I hate to say this but I was already accepting my defeat and then something happened that pretty much saved my life a car pulled into the rest area and it caught the attention of the two teens who were standing behind my car they kind of stepped away and moved toward the other vehicle for a moment the vehicle that pulled in saw what was happening and they sped off immediately they must have got scared either they saw my car was getting smashed or they saw four people eyeing them up and thought to themselves not happening that brief distraction was all I needed though I put the car into reverse and slammed down the gas I spun the car around put it in drive and sped off just like the other car I could see the 14s pursuing me on foot in my mirror but once I got back on the highway I was long gone and that was the longest drive of my entire life I didn't know what to do I couldn't call for for help because they had my phone I didn't stop and I ended up driving all the way to work and once I got inside I was able to call the police and told them what happened and more importantly where it happened I hope that maybe they would send a patrol car to the rest area in case these monsters ever came back to pray on someone in the middle of the night again granted I wasn't in the right state of mind that night but I didn't see anyone at all there when pulling into the parking lot that night there were no other cars there so these kids were hiding somewhere literally just waiting to jump someone it's actually sad that these kids were resorting to this at such a young age I never got my phone or wallet back and I clearly canceled all my cards and had to replace my ID and phone immediately a small price to pay for still having my life I guess I did end up calling the police in that town about a month later to kind of get an update but they didn't find anyone at the rest stop and nobody else ever reported being jumped by kids in that area he did tell me that they arrested a 16-year-old boy for robbery who did match a description of the one I described but because he was a minor he got released later on and that was pretty much all the information he could give me they did locate my phone in a trash can about 10 mi from the rest area and the screen was smashed even though the phone still seemed to technically work so yeah that's my nightmare story about being jumped by four teenagers I'd love to know what you would do in that situation would you fight back or would you just accept defeat like I [Music] did this was the strangest and most unsettling thing that's ever happened to me it was last year and I just finished a long semester at school before the holiday break I was tired and stressed and I couldn't wait to get home and decompressed for a little while before heading back to school on the drive home I was planning on staying at a hotel overnight and then just finishing the drive in the morning I don't know if I got a second wind or if I was just hopped up on all the Red Bull but I decided to drive straight through instead of wasting the money for a hotel if I remember correctly it was around 3:00 in the morning and I started getting tired I was doing that thing where your head keeps dropping and no matter how hard you're trying to stay awake I could feel myself swerving all over the road and I knew that I was never going to make it I told myself I was going to pull over at the next rest area but I would never make it that far I dozed off a little too hard while driving and I lost control of the car for just a second and that was a second too long I ended up driving straight through a guard rail and my car got wedged into this little ditch on the side of the highway I sat in disbelief for a moment this was the scariest moment of my entire life and little did I know it was about to get much worse once I realized that I was all right I tried to drive out of the ditch and it appeared hopeless I wasn't getting anywhere I was dreading calling for help but I knew that it needed to be done while I was digging for my phone that was on the floor somewhere due to the accident someone came up and knocked on the window much like a cop would do I nearly jumped through the window I realized quickly it wasn't a cop and I asked what they wanted with the window still closed and instead of answering me he just stared inside the window with this creepy look on his face then he started to bang on the window I kept yelling and telling him to go away but he just kept knocking and he started smiling this went on for a while and I screamed the entire time he never changed the rhythm of his banging or how hard he was hitting the glass at one point I was just begging for him to stop but he just kept going like some type of machine those horrible teeth I could see them staring back at me then he ran to the front of my car and just stood there and that's when I got a good look at him he was about 6 ft tall if I had to make a guess he was wearing a white shirt shorts and sandals even though it was under 45° outside I couldn't tell exactly what it was but he looked like he had a flower tattoo on his right leg what was I supposed to do get out and confront this guy and probably get stabbed or something yeah I don't think so I wasn't playing around anymore though I called the police right away and told them what had happened and told them about the creepy man between the banging on the window and then running to the front of the car maybe 2 minutes had gone by at most I did say that he didn't really do anything besides knock on my window and now he's just standing there sort of looking at me she didn't seem too concerned and just told me to wait there with the doors locked and that somebody would be there shortly the entire time I waited the man didn't move he just stood there about 3 ft from my car just looking smiling he never broke that horrible smile not for one second 10 long minutes later the cops finally pulled up behind me and the crazed man ran into the night the cop came over to my window and asked me to get out of the car I was frantically trying to explain to the cop that the guy had just run away but the cop didn't seem too concerned and just kept telling me to relax and he actually shushed me like I was some small child instead of chasing the guy he claimed that he didn't see him and he asked me if I'd been drinking or using any other types of extracurricular substances and I was outraged and I may have said a few things that I shouldn't have I ended up having a very unpleasant conversation with the officer who made me take a field sobriety test he eventually helped me out of the the ditch and followed me to a gas station where I filled up on gas checked the damage on my car and got a coffee for the rest of the drive he didn't even take my statement saying what am I supposed to do find a guy with sandals on I got the impression that he thought that I was just dreaming about the guy and after that night I never drove tired again to this day I still wonder what that guy wanted I mean I know he didn't want anything specifically clearly he wasn't all right in the head I'm just just mean I wondered what he intended what if I open the door what if my phone was broken in the crash and most importantly who was the guy and where did he come from I mean he was literally there one second after the crash I have to believe those are some crazy odds I know it's crazy but I still lose sleep thinking about this all this time later what do you think this guy would have done if he was able to get to me I have my own theories and I don't even want to begin to share [Music] them last year was the first time I truly encountered an evil person I didn't really think people like this existed and this is going to sound very ignorant but I was of the mindset that if something bad happened to you then you probably were in a situation where you shouldn't have been obviously not including accidents well I totally changed my stance on that opinion after last year horrible people out there do exist so if you take anything from this story that I'm about to tell just remember to always be careful and alert especially around people you don't know I was house and pet sitting for a very close friend of mine she and her husband were taking a weekend getaway for their anniversary they lived in a mostly secluded area there wasn't much going on and that's kind of what I liked about it this was like a weekend getaway for me honestly ly I did some errands during the day and I turned in early for the night I made some chili and planned on just watching some movies with the dog all night a little after 8:00 p. m.

the doorbell rang and it actually scared me even the dog looked pretty spooked I could tell this place doesn't get very many visitors especially after 8 at night I slowly answered the door I kept the front screen door locked and just opened the main door the dog finally started barking and going crazy I was surprised at what I was looking at you see it was a young man probably in his 20s he had shaggy hair but was pretty clean shaven he was rocking two diamond earring studs and was wearing gray sweatpants and a gray t-shirt I stuttered my way through asking the question can I help you the young guy looked scared and almost sad and asked if I had any heavy straps I was confused by the question and I think the guy could tell he went on to explain that his car had gone off the road Road and was now stuck in the mud he wanted the straps to help pull his car out I just politely told the kid that I didn't have any straps and I closed the door part of me felt bad for him but I know myself and I know that I wouldn't have been much help not to mention I didn't have heavy straps and I doubt that they had any in this house after finishing watching an episode of the office I was getting ready to go to bed it wasn't that late but in my older age 11 may as well have been 3: in the morning morning just as I was shutting off the lights the doorbell rang again this time the dog started to bark right away she must have known something wasn't right before approaching the door I looked at the time on the stove and it was 11:13 at night I looked through the small window next to the door and it was the same young guy as before now I was frustrated and angry and I was about to tell the guy to get off the property when he says please sir I'm so sorry to bother you again nobody else in the neighborhood answer the door and my phone's dead I almost got the card I just need a little push can you please come and help me I'll give you 20 bucks I was beyond annoyed but I could hear the anxiety in his voice I must have been really tired because I agreed to help the kid I know that sounds crazy but I don't know at the moment it seemed like the right thing to do the guy was excited and started to thank me and we started making our way down the dark and not very populated Street I could see about a 100 yd down the road a small car was off to the side of the road the guy pointed ahead and said the car is just up there while I was walking it dawned on me that I could have and should have just called the police to help and then I noticed that I didn't even have my phone in my pocket to call the police in case we couldn't get the car out of the ditch as we were closing in on the car I looked down and even in the darkness I could see that the ground wasn't very muddy I started having thoughts to myself like how's the car stuck in the mud with no mud and once I was standing next to the car I looked at the tires and noticed that the car didn't look stuck at all before I could even ask any questions a large man who was significantly older than the guy at the door jumped out from behind the car grabbing me tackling me to the ground he started to slap my face and then he demanded that I hand over my phone and wallet but I guess the joke was on him looking back because like I just said the phone was still in the house and so was my wallet I was able to shout that little bit of information to the man who looked angry that he couldn't now rob me he then ripped off my smart watch which again the joke was on him because it was just some cheap $30 knockoff that just looked like an Apple Watch after taking the watch they got into the car and just drove off into the night I ran back to the house calling the cops I did the best I could to described the car and the man who actually attacked me but I didn't really get a good look at either especially since it was so dark out I was able to give a decent description of the younger guy but I don't know how much it helped as far as I know they never caught them and if they did it wasn't because of me I told my friend and her husband and they said that they never experienced anything like that before or since like I said in the beginning this really changed me I know firsthand now the Terrible people really are out there and they truly do want to hurt you so just be careful and don't just trust people because they look [Music] innocent do you remember the 2016 clown craze where random clowns were showing up in neighborhoods and on CCTV and ring doorbell cameras no one knew if it was a publicity stunned for the it movies or if weirdos were using it as an excuse to go out and terrorize people well I remember this time distinctly and I have my own story to share hence why I'm writing this down for all of you now it was fall of 2016 and I had recently moved from my hometown to my husband's Hometown which was about an hour and 15 minutes away my hometown was a much larger City where we moved and so I frequently made trips for appointments and stores and restaurants that we didn't have in our new town I remember having to travel up after work for a doctor's appointment and on my way I saw signs that the main Highway was going to be closed for two exits starting at 700 p. m. and reopening first thing in the morning I remember hoping that I could be back on the road in time so I didn't have to take a detour off the highway unfortunately by the time I was heading home it was too late and I knew that I was going to be diverted off of the highway for a few exits I called my husband to see if he knew any quick ways for me to get home but he didn't and advise me to follow the traffic pattern and The Detour signs there was a line of traffic thankfully as it was basically pitch blackout we were moving slowly down Country Roads when I saw some light off in the distance it was a gas station a pretty large one in fact and I decided to stop off to use the restroom and grab a little gas before the rest of the drive home I got out of the car put my credit card in and started pumping the gas hoping that it would only take 20 to $30 to fill it the rest of the way I started looking around at the surroundings as the wind picked up and threw some trash out of an overflowed can onto the ground across from the gas station was about 20 ft of grass in a tree line that went the length of the road as cars were coming in the opposite direction the side of the road became illuminated briefly as they zipped by I started to squint thinking that I saw a deer maybe a couple of deer approaching the side of the the road I couldn't really make out what it was but there was definitely something moving very slowly coming out of the tree line and approaching the road as the silhouette got closer I realized that it was shaped like a person with light brown tattered clothing and what seemed to be a mask but as the figure made its way closer to the gas station I could see that it was someone dressed in a clown costume with clown makeup instantly terrified as I was traveling by myself at a random gas station I hurried into the convenience store to use the bathroom so I could get in and get out hopefully before the clown made it any closer to that station I used the restroom which was disgusting by the way and approached the exit door surveying the parking lot before I made a dash for my car I opened the door which the wind flung open almost knocking me over I then dashed for the car I clicked the button on my keys to unlock the door and just as I was going to grab the handle I heard how are you young lady I froze as the tattered horrifying looking clown rose from a Crouch position in front of my car and began shuffling towards me panic kicked in and I let out a gurgled Yelp and ran back into the gas station immediately called my husband and proceeded to tell him and the clerk what was going on in the parking lot my husband was obviously upset and mad at himself for not being with me he usually always accompanied me on these trips and I told him that this time he should just stay back and stay with the dogs he reminded me that he put pepper spray in my purse just in case the clerk had already made his way out of the parking lot and was surveying the area for anyone he came back in and said I don't see anyone out there I told my husband that I was going to walk to the car with him still in the phone and the clerk offered to walk with me which I accepted I didn't see anything other than the wind blowing the trees in the distance but as I got closer to the car I shouted dropped my phone and pulled out the pepper spray the clown was crouched behind one of the garbage cans next to the pump the clerk ran directly over there screaming telling him to get off the property and that he was calling the cops the clown shuffled back across the road and towards the tree line the clerk apologized and asked if I was all right I said yes and got into my car and told my husband I was okay and that I was heading home and should be back in about 35 to 40 minutes this next part I still can't say with certainty that it happened or not but as I began driving down the road I swore that I saw a person with different clown paint tucked right against the trees slowly waving at my car as I drove by I think so much adrenaline was pumping through my body that I couldn't rationalize if it was my mind or if I was really seeing something my husband who barely let me go anywhere by myself before now makees sure every time I drive after dark that he's there with me and ever since this incident I've developed an extreme fear of clowns I can't watch shows or movies with them or it brings me back to this experience anyway I hope you enjoyed my story and please let me know if any of you had experienced anything similar around that time what do you think was this guy pranking me due to all the crazy clown stuff going on or was I in any real Danger
