- 0:12Speaker 1: I'll never forget this night. The pizza place I worked
- 0:15Speaker 1: at was about to close, and I was getting ready
- 0:18Speaker 1: to go home when the phone rang. I was working
- 0:21Speaker 1: the counter alone that night, so I was taking calls.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I picked up the phone. There was complete silence, so
- 0:28Speaker 1: I hung up. About a minute later, the phone rings again,
- 0:32Speaker 1: so I pick up again. Still silence. I was about
- 0:37Speaker 1: to hang up again when I heard the very weak
- 0:39Speaker 1: and cold voice of an old woman on the other end.
- 0:42Speaker 1: She said she wanted a regular pie delivered. I remained
- 0:46Speaker 1: polite on the phone, but on the inside I was screaming.
- 0:49Speaker 1: I just wanted to get home and end my shift.
- 0:53Speaker 1: I called out to my boss that somebody is requesting
- 0:55Speaker 1: a delivery. He told me I had to go. I
- 0:59Speaker 1: was upset at first, but I realized it's another tip,
- 1:02Speaker 1: and the old ones usually tip the most, so I
- 1:04Speaker 1: decided it was okay. I took down the address and
- 1:08Speaker 1: told her I would be there soon, but she had
- 1:10Speaker 1: already hung up. I thought that was rude, but I
- 1:13Speaker 1: ignored it and yelled to the chef that I needed
- 1:15Speaker 1: one regular. My boss told me to just go home
- 1:19Speaker 1: after the delivery as the place would be closed, so
- 1:22Speaker 1: a little before 10 o'clock, I got in my car
- 1:24Speaker 1: and put the address into my GPS. The house was
- 1:27Speaker 1: 7 miles away. The GPS took me to the quiet
- 1:30Speaker 1: side of town. I arrived to the house. It was
- 1:34Speaker 1: a small, one-floor house on a very quiet and empty block.
- 1:38Speaker 1: I took the pizza and walked up to the door
- 1:40Speaker 1: and rang the doorbell. There were no lights on in
- 1:43Speaker 1: the house. I hoped that she hadn't given me the
- 1:45Speaker 1: wrong address. I rang the doorbell again. There was still
- 1:49Speaker 1: no answer. I was about to give up when I
- 1:52Speaker 1: turned my head and saw somebody standing at the window.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I got a little freaked out and backed up at first.
- 1:58Speaker 1: but I eventually got closer to the window to see
- 2:01Speaker 1: the person. It was an old woman, probably in her
- 2:04Speaker 1: late 70s. She was just staring at me with a
- 2:07Speaker 1: blank expression. I yelled to her through the glass that
- 2:11Speaker 1: I had her pizza. She didn't react to what I said,
- 2:15Speaker 1: so I screamed it louder. A big smile ran across
- 2:18Speaker 1: her face. Not a pleasant, genuine smile. It was a
- 2:23Speaker 1: smile that sent chills down my spine. I still remember
- 2:27Speaker 1: that exact face she made through the window. I decided
- 2:30Speaker 1: that I was freaked out enough and got back to
- 2:32Speaker 1: my car and set the pizza in the passenger seat.
- 2:36Speaker 1: I had to text my boss about this. I shot
- 2:39Speaker 1: him a quick text and started my car, ready to
- 2:41Speaker 1: get the hell away. I looked to my right to
- 2:44Speaker 1: get one more look, to see the woman standing right
- 2:47Speaker 1: outside my passenger side window, giving me the same stare
- 2:50Speaker 1: she had given me before. I put my car in
- 2:53Speaker 1: drive and floored it down the street, not looking back.
- 2:57Speaker 1: My boss never made me do a late night delivery again.
- 3:13Speaker 1: This happened four years ago when I was still in
- 3:15Speaker 1: high school. I was told to do my last delivery
- 3:18Speaker 1: of my shift. I got in my car, which was
- 3:21Speaker 1: a 1999 Camry, perfect for delivering pizzas. I GPSed the
- 3:26Speaker 1: address on my phone. I live upstate in the country,
- 3:29Speaker 1: so all pizza deliveries were long drives. I remember the
- 3:33Speaker 1: sun was starting to set, so it was probably around
- 3:35Speaker 1: 7 o'clock. I'd say after a good 15 minutes of
- 3:39Speaker 1: driving through the foresty dirt roads, my GPS said I
- 3:42Speaker 1: had arrived. It was an old little cottage-like house made
- 3:46Speaker 1: almost entirely of wood. It was sitting all by itself
- 3:49Speaker 1: in the middle of absolutely nothing but forest. The lawn
- 3:52Speaker 1: was completely unkept, as the grass was almost at knee height.
- 3:56Speaker 1: I was used to this kind of thing, so I
- 3:58Speaker 1: didn't think much of it. I took the pizza to
- 4:01Speaker 1: the front door. There was no doorbell, so I knocked
- 4:04Speaker 1: loudly on the door. Within ten seconds, I heard the
- 4:07Speaker 1: sound of footsteps hitting wood on the inside of the house.
- 4:11Speaker 1: The footsteps made it to the door and stopped. I
- 4:14Speaker 1: started to feel uneasy. I got the feeling that I
- 4:17Speaker 1: was being watched. And that's when I noticed there was
- 4:20Speaker 1: a peephole in the door. It's the pizza guy, I
- 4:23Speaker 1: called out. I heard a low, harsh-sounding voice on the
- 4:27Speaker 1: other side of the door, telling me to bring the
- 4:29Speaker 1: pizza out back. I didn't like the idea of going
- 4:32Speaker 1: back there. Something didn't seem right. Are you sure, sir?
- 4:37Speaker 1: I called out. He didn't answer my question. The sound
- 4:41Speaker 1: of footsteps didn't move away from the door, so I
- 4:44Speaker 1: had the feeling he was still watching me. I almost
- 4:47Speaker 1: found myself walking back to my car, but I decided
- 4:50Speaker 1: I didn't want any trouble with my boss. The last
- 4:52Speaker 1: time I brought a pizza back, he gave me attitude
- 4:55Speaker 1: so I reluctantly walked through the uncut grass and around
- 4:58Speaker 1: the small house to the back. I remember there was
- 5:01Speaker 1: a shed and a little patio back there. In the patio,
- 5:05Speaker 1: there was a table with four chairs surrounding it. In
- 5:08Speaker 1: one of the chairs facing away from me, I saw
- 5:10Speaker 1: the head of somebody sitting in the seat. I began
- 5:14Speaker 1: walking over and said, Excuse me, but the person didn't
- 5:17Speaker 1: even move an inch. Excuse me, I said again louder.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Then from behind me, I heard, Psst! Over here. I
- 5:27Speaker 1: turned around to see a man poking his head out
- 5:29Speaker 1: from the corner of the house, looking at me with
- 5:31Speaker 1: a crazed smile. Come over here. I want to show
- 5:34Speaker 1: you something. I freaked out, turned around, and ran around
- 5:38Speaker 1: the house in the opposite direction, back to my car,
- 5:40Speaker 1: for some reason still holding the pizza. I got in
- 5:44Speaker 1: my car, started it, and got away from there. On
- 5:46Speaker 1: my way back to the pizzeria, I pulled over to
- 5:49Speaker 1: the side of the road and called the police. Eventually,
- 5:52Speaker 1: I was informed that there was no sign of anybody
- 5:55Speaker 1: having been in that house for a long time. I
- 5:58Speaker 1: quit my delivery job a few days after that. I
- 6:02Speaker 1: have no idea what would have happened to me had
- 6:04Speaker 1: I gone up to that man, but to this day,
- 6:07Speaker 1: I still wish I had just turned my head to
- 6:09Speaker 1: see who or what was sitting in that patio chair.
- 6:25Speaker 1: I was doing late night deliveries during this particular shift.
- 6:29Speaker 1: When I worked this job, I lived in the Poconos.
- 6:31Speaker 1: It was very rural up there. I often found myself
- 6:35Speaker 1: driving down roads surrounded by nothing but trees, just like
- 6:38Speaker 1: this night, only it was dark and foggy this time.
- 6:42Speaker 1: Driving down a shortcut to town that I had taken
- 6:44Speaker 1: many times before, I slam on the brakes when I
- 6:47Speaker 1: see somebody jump out from the bushes onto the road.
- 6:50Speaker 1: The sickening bump and thump from the front of the
- 6:52Speaker 1: car confirmed that I had hit the person. I put
- 6:55Speaker 1: my hand to my forehead, cursing to myself. I couldn't
- 6:58Speaker 1: believe what just happened. I just hit a person. I
- 7:02Speaker 1: got out of my car and checked to see if
- 7:04Speaker 1: they were alright. It was a man wearing a black
- 7:07Speaker 1: hoodie with the hood up. He lay motionless by my
- 7:10Speaker 1: car tire. I had no idea what to do. At
- 7:13Speaker 1: this point I was panicking. Why the hell was this
- 7:16Speaker 1: guy in the middle of nowhere? Why did he jump
- 7:18Speaker 1: in front of my car? And then things got weirder.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I can hear his scream. a scream for help coming
- 7:26Speaker 1: from the woods to the left of me. Somebody was
- 7:29Speaker 1: in trouble. I looked at the man I hid with
- 7:32Speaker 1: my car. He was still on the ground, motionless. I'd
- 7:36Speaker 1: only be gone for a minute, I figured. For whatever
- 7:38Speaker 1: stupid reason, I thought it was okay to leave the
- 7:41Speaker 1: man behind to go into the woods. I moved in
- 7:44Speaker 1: the direction I heard the scream originally, hoping to hear another,
- 7:48Speaker 1: but it was just total silence except for the night
- 7:50Speaker 1: creatures making their sounds. Where are you? I yelled out.
- 7:56Speaker 1: It was at that moment I heard the sound of
- 7:58Speaker 1: a foot crushing the leaves on the ground. I turned
- 8:01Speaker 1: in the direction of the sound and even in the
- 8:04Speaker 1: dark and foggy weather, I could still make out the
- 8:06Speaker 1: figure of somebody hiding behind a tree opposite me. I
- 8:10Speaker 1: ran as fast as I could back to my car,
- 8:13Speaker 1: looking back constantly to make sure I wasn't being followed.
- 8:16Speaker 1: When I got back to my car, the man I
- 8:18Speaker 1: had hit was gone. I didn't stick around to wonder
- 8:21Speaker 1: where he went. I just got back in my car
- 8:23Speaker 1: and proceeded down the road. My heart was racing the
- 8:27Speaker 1: whole drive through, but I still ended up delivering the pizza.
- 8:31Speaker 1: I got to the house, and when I rang the bell,
- 8:33Speaker 1: a middle-aged woman answered. After paying, I noticed that her
- 8:37Speaker 1: eyes focused on something behind me, and then she asked me,
- 8:41Speaker 1: they let you guys have delivery partners now? I was
- 8:45Speaker 1: confused and asked her what she meant, and she told me,
- 8:48Speaker 1: you got someone with you in your car. I felt
- 8:51Speaker 1: a pain in my stomach as I turned and saw
- 8:53Speaker 1: somebody sitting in the backseat of my car. I called
- 8:57Speaker 1: the cops using the woman's phone and they arrived shortly after,
- 9:00Speaker 1: but the person in the backseat of my car was
- 9:02Speaker 1: already gone. The scariest thing about this whole story, the
- 9:06Speaker 1: police found a blood-stained knife on the floor of my
- 9:08Speaker 1: car where the man was hiding. This memory still haunts
- 9:12Speaker 1: me every day, and I can genuinely tell you, it's
- 9:16Speaker 1: painfully scary just to imagine how things could have turned
- 9:19Speaker 1: out if I hadn't made the delivery. Thank you. you
