  Speaker 1: I usually don't bother to post anything on Reddit, but
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I figured that typing the situation out might make me
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: feel better. So I'm 23 years old, female, and I
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: live on my own. I just moved out to the
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: area for school, and I went to my local Walmart
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to gather supplies for cleaning. As I walked inside, I
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: took note of an older man near the entrance that
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I briefly made eye contact with and nodded at, and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I just kept walking. I looked at folders for a bit,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and I then made my way towards the electronics section
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: at the back to go look for a charger. I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: was making my way through the aisles on the way
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: down looking at all the fall decorations. A lot of
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: them were geared towards kids, so I just glanced at
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: them quickly and then turned around to leave. The same
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: man as before was there. I didn't hear him walk
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: into the aisles. and he was holding and inspecting some
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: paper plates with childish Halloween designs on them for kids.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I thought that was a little strange, but I brushed
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it off, thinking he had grandkids. I left, and I
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: made my way to the electronics section where they kept
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the chargers behind locked glass doors. I'm there for about
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: 7-8 minutes, and the same old man shows back up. Now,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: at this point, I'm pretty far from where I last
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: saw him. and I see in the reflection of the
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: glass that he's checking out my ass as he walks by.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I've brushed it off because I'm used to men making
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: quick glances like that in public, and I just left
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it at that. He's looking at the display behind me
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: at the other side, goes to leave, and this is
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: where it gets creepy. He stands right behind me, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: he starts aggressively eyeing me up and down while licking
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: his lips. paying particular attention to my backside and my legs.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: He's basically undressing me with his eyes. At this point,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: he was giving off massive creep vibes, and I started
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: shaking with adrenaline, and I was just really afraid he
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: was going to try and grab me. I stay calm
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: despite my throat feeling like it had a ball in it,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and I wait for him to leave. He does. I
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: then go to a random mile nearby electronics, but in
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the general part of the store. I noticed that there
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: were two men behind the electronics counter, and I wanted
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to stay near them just in case something went wrong.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So I waited a few minutes, just standing there just
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to see if he showed back up. I wanted to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: confirm if he was following me around or not. Sure enough,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: five minutes later, there he was. I caught him quite
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: literally speedwalking down the main walkway looking down each aisle
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: as if he was frantically looking for me. He stopped
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: dead in his tracks, saw me notice him, and then
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: promptly scurried off. I went to the electronics section and
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I then informed the workers that I was indeed being
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: followed and that I really wasn't comfortable and I asked
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: if there was security. They tell me they don't have any,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: just theft prevention, and they offered to check me out
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: there or accompany me to finish my shopping. They were
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: very kind, and I did actually take them up on
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the offer to get my cleaning supplies nearby. As we
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: turned together, the same guy was standing further away, still
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: staring at me. He literally just increased the radius he
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: was using to follow me, and was now watching me
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: from the front by the registers now. I get my
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: stuff and check out, and I then weave through all
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of the different clothing sections to leave from a different
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: section than the one I originally entered in and saw
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: him from. I didn't see him at all this whole time,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: and I got to my car. I promptly drove to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: my new place, but stopped halfway at a random neighborhood.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I pulled over and pretended that was my house, just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to see if anyone told me. I didn't want this
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: guy finding out where I lived. I then drove home
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: when I didn't see anyone. I may be overreacting but
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: this is a new area to me and I've never
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: had someone be quite that creepy and persistent in following me.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I've done things on my own plenty of times and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I've never had an issue before. This all happened in
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the middle of the day at like 3pm too. I
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: was wearing loose clothing and I just wanted to take
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a quick trip in and out. I have no idea
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: what could have happened if I didn't notice him or
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: what his intentions might have been. I can't imagine that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: they were good. Maybe he would have followed me to
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: my new place. Who knows? Either way, the whole encounter
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: was just really scary. He had no clue that I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: saw his reflection and the nasty expression on his face.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Just stay aware, guys, and watch yourselves. So, I'm a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: 39-year-old woman. but this happened when I was 12 years old.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: My brother and I were in Walmart in the seedy aisle,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and I had bent over to tie my shoe, while
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: my little brother then started laughing. He was only 9
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: years old at the time, and when I said what,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he leaned in and then quietly said that a guy
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: was looking at my butt. I looked without being too obvious,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: and there was this old man with a long gray beard,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that had a braid down the middle of it. I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: punched my little brother playfully, and we started joking back
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and forth who was going to be his wife. Then
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: my brother went and joined my parents, and they kind
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of just let me alone do my own thing. So
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to the beauty aisle I went, and within seconds, the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: same guy as before then appeared in the same aisle
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: as me. I went to a different aisle feeling like
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: he was following me, and there he was pretending to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: look at stuff. but moving closer towards me. So I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: went to another aisle that most guys wouldn't go to,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and that was the pads and tampon aisle. Once again,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: this creep was pretending to look at pads and tampons.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I slowly went to the next aisle, and then ran
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to go find my mom. I told her what happened,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: so she followed me there. She told me to clear
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: my throat if I happened to see him. And sure enough,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: This time he got so close to me where he
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: could almost grab me, so I started clearing my throat
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: until I coughed, and my mom grabbed me, and we
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: found a manager. Walmart really sucked, because the manager was
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: acting like since the guy didn't actually do anything, they
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: couldn't do anything about it. Yeah, thanks Walmart. I really
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: wish I could say that I never saw him again,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: but that's not the case. I remember this guy every
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: time I was in the Walmart. I was always watching
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: my back trying to look out for this guy. So anyways,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: let's skip ahead a bit. I ended up being in
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: a friend's house when I was 16 and her dad's
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: friend came over. And lo and behold, there he was.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: The same braid in the middle of his beard and
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he then introduced himself to me as Butch. As soon
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: as we were a veer shot, I flipped out, telling
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: my friend that that's the same creepy Walmart guy that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: followed me around Walmart when I was 12. She said
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that she wasn't surprised, but she seemed unaffected. Yeah, sometimes
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: she really wasn't the greatest of friends. So one day
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: when we're hanging out, she acted like we were going
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to see someone really cool and awesome, and in my
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: little mind, I thought that they knew someone single to
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: introduce me to. So we go knock on the door
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: to this house, and this rather manly looking woman answered
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the door. She then let us in and brought us
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: cold cokes from the fridge, and then there he was, Butch.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: He came strutting in the room and made me so
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable that I wanted to throw up, and then things
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: took a really disgusting turn. He started telling us how
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: he wanted to see us naked and take pictures of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: us enjoying each other's bodies. As you can imagine, that
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: was a very uncomfortable hour of saying hell no and
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: being angry as hell that my friend brought us to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: this situation. She never brought me around him again. But
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: years later, her mother-in-law was actually dating him and she
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: actually allowed her kids to spend the night around this sick... Yeah,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: my friend and her family definitely weren't the smartest. And
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it gets even worse. So years later... Pictures were found
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: belonging to Butch of little kids. And yes, it's exactly
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: what you're thinking. Not innocent pictures, but very bad pictures
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: showing what a monster Butch truly was. And even her
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: mother-in-law took some of the pictures. Very luckily, someone ratted
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: them out, and both of them went to jail. The
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: mother-in-law and Butch both became registered sex offenders, but she
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: was released after six months. It didn't really surprise me
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: though as much as it should have. Butch was put
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in prison amongst other very horrible crimes involving children. He
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: went to prison for a very long time and he
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: ended up eventually dying there as well. Thank God. I
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: sleep much easier now knowing there's one less disgusting pedophile
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: living on this earth harming children. I was at Walmart
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: earlier this evening with my two daughters, one is elementary
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: school aged, while the other is in middle school. We
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: had looked around the school supplies for about a minute,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: then rounded the corner to see the Halloween candy on display.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: As we turned the corner, a slightly older guy came
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: really close to us, kind of like he was in
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a hurry, and he almost ran right into our cart.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: He didn't have a cart or any items of his own.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I said excuse me and then stopped right in front
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: of the candy to let my youngest ask a bunch
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: of questions about the candy pumpkins. The man stopped quickly
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: and he started rummaging around the candies right next to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: my daughter. He was listening to our conversation and he
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: was reacting strange when my daughter then said she wanted
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to take a picture of the candy. He was being
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: really twitchy and caught my eye and looked away very quickly.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: We moved on to the women's PJ section to look
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: around for a few minutes when I noticed the same
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: man pass by really close. He was turning right towards
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: the shoes with a big bag of candy cradled in
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: his arms. My girls went across the aisle to the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: boys' clothing section while I finished deciding, and when I
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: was catching up with them a couple of minutes later,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: that guy was winding through the boys' clothes right towards
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: my daughters. He had kind of paused and looked confused
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: or lost. and he watched me discuss sizes with my youngest.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: This is when I started thinking that something was definitely
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: off with this dude. I mentioned him to my older daughter,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and then we moved through the partition into the girls' clothes.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't see him again for a few minutes, and
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I figured it was nothing, but then he came into
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: that section, and he was acting like he was trying
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to pick out a Justice shirt. He still had that
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: big bag of candy that he just kept adjusting his
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: grip on, I kept seeing him take quick peeks at
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: my girls, but then every time he saw me watching him,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: he just pretended to be occupied in his shopping. I
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: told my oldest that I thought he was following us,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: and she said that she noticed the same thing, so
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I made my youngest get in the cart so I
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: could keep a close eye on them both. The guy
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: then walked out of the girls' section, but he looped
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: around the partition back to the boys' section, then stopped
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: at an opening on the other side. but still in
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a stray line of sight. The man caught my eye again, twitched,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and then pulled out his phone, then texting someone, then
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: walking away. By that time, I was now on high
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: alert and possibly getting quite paranoid. I looked around and
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: I saw two slightly older men standing around. One was
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: in electronics, kind of looking at a half-empty display of something.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: but I swear he glared at me several times, even
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: though there were three or four racks of clothes, as
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: well as a hallway with occasional people in between. The
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: third guy had wandered into the girls' section, and he
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: was apparently considering buying a justice shirt too. Every time
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: he saw me noticing him watching us, he wandered down
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to the baby aisles, but he just kept coming back
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: after a couple of minutes. I realize now, looking back,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that if I had really suspected something bad, I should
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: have just gotten my girls the hell out of there.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Clothes shopping for a picky preteen isn't fun, and I
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: really wanted to get it over and done with. On
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: top of that, I kept second guessing myself that the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: two other guys were just a coincidence. I kept my
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: girls really close, and after we moved to the women's section,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't see any of them again, and I stopped
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: feeling creepily that we were being watched. Now it's the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: middle of the night and I'm pretty freaked out wondering
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: what could have happened if I didn't notice the first
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: guy and just continued to let my girls wander around.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Should I report anything? I can't imagine anything would be
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: done just because I noticed some guy watching my daughters
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: in Walmart. So yeah, I'm really not sure how to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: proceed with all this. I don't really know if something
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: bad was happening or if it's just me being paranoid.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. When
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I was 15 years old, I had one of the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: most bone-chilling and eye-opening experiences I've ever had to this day.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: This was almost a decade ago, and I've been smoking
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the devil's lettuce since before this story happened, but I'll
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: try to remember as many details as I can. I
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: grew up in a small crime-ridden Appalachian city and there
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: were a lot of dodgy characters. Growing up in that
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: type of environment, I was usually pretty good at handling
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: these types of people, but this time it was all
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: out of my control. It started on a fall night
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: in the most ridiculous place it could possibly start, at
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the local Walmart. My dad's sister and I were doing
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: some midweek grocery shopping, and my sister and I were
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: naturally acting crazy, and making some fun of the local
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: late night Walmart creatures, trying to make each other laugh.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: My sister spotted a guy down an aisle from us,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and pointed out that he looked like a stereotypical pedophile.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And boy was she right. The guy was seriously giving
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: lovely bones but in real life vibes. He had big
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: glasses with thick frames, and a weird thin and greasy
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: middle part in his hair. I can't remember everything he
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: was wearing, but I remembered his oversized tan jacket. My
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: sister and I giggled at him, and to this day,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if he noticed, or if he
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: even noticed us before we noticed him. The rest of
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the shopping trip he kept popping up in the same
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: aisles as us, which I didn't think much about. I
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: was with my big scary dad, and this guy was
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: also grocery shopping. Everything else was normal for the next
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: few days, until I woke up in the middle of
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the night one night. I couldn't figure out what had
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: woken me up, but I had the overwhelming feeling of
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: being watched. Now, my childhood home was haunted, but this
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: felt different. It felt dirty. I couldn't go back to sleep,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and I was really groggy the next day. Now, this
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: cycle kept happening for weeks on end. and my mom
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: kept blaming it on the amount of caffeine I would drink.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Until one weekend, my parents went on a day trip
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: to a town three or four hours away and left
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: me all alone in the house. I was used to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: being home alone, and I usually relished in that feeling,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: but this time it was different. I felt uncomfortable and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: kind of anxious, so I texted my friend who we'll
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: call Mike for the story. I asked him to come
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: pick me up so we could go smoke or hang
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: out somewhere else. I walked out to his car and
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: we took off, having a completely normal conversation, except Mike
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: kept looking in his rearview mirrors. I asked him if
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: he was okay and he said yes, it's just that
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: this guy keeps following me and he's driving around like
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a maniac. When we hit a red light, I turned
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: around to get a better look at this car just
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: to have it pulled right beside my passenger window in
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: a messy manic and scurry away. And what I saw
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: chilled me to the bone and almost made me immediately
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: break down. It was the man my sister and I
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: joked about in the Walmart and he was looking right
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: at me. His jaw and teeth were totally clenched and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: his eyes were empty and emotionless. As I started sobbing,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: He laid down his horn at us, making us jump.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: What the hell's going on? I remember Mike asking over
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and over again, but I couldn't even breathe or articulate
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the situation. Mike was pretty quick on his feet, and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: without explanation, just hightailed it to our local police station.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: We both went inside and talked to the head officer,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: who was actually one of our friend's dad. Mike had
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: actually memorized the license plate number, and they ended up
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: running a report, sending an officer out to look for
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: his car. After talking to the officer, Mike had pointed
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: out the man that had been parked across the street
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: from my home, so they sent an officer to my
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: house as well, and called my parents. The most horrifying
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: thing about this was what happened next. When an officer
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: arrived in my house, he found the man in my
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: front yard digging through the bushes right outside my bedroom window.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: He was arrested. and after the scene had been inspected
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: by the officers. The man had a crowbar, duct tape,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: zip ties, condoms, as well as a taser hidden in
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the bush right outside of my room. That's when my
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: eerie feelings I'd been feeling for weeks finally made sense.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: My grandfather had always said that I was insanely intuitive,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and this proved him right. It turns out this guy
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: was a registered sex offender, and the stay pressed charges
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: along with my parents... Nothing in my life has ever
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: been so traumatizing as this. But I guess the moral
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: of the story is to always trust your gut whenever
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you feel something isn't right. Especially if it's waking you
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: up in the middle of the night. One night when
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I was 17, I was clothes shopping at Walmart. I
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: was trying to get on a couple of pairs of
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: jeans in the fitting room. After I tried on the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: first one. pair, I walked out of the fitting room
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: and I walked around a little bit of the clothing
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: department to try and break them in. So I switched
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: back into my other pants and bought three pairs of
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the jeans that I tried on. I went to go
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: check out and when I got to the self-checkout, there
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: was this guy staring at me. He looked to be
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: in his early 40s. He was tall, about 6'3, skinny,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: had short black hair, and he had a creepy grin
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: on his face, like a demon straight from hell. I
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: tried not to pay attention to him, so I checked out.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I then went to my car and drove home. Two
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: hours later, at about 11.30pm, I had gotten a text
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: from an unknown number. The text said, Hey, did you
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: see me at the self-checkout at Walmart a couple hours ago?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I asked who it was, and another text came in
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: saying it was the same guy that was staring at
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: me at the self-checkout. I then texted him back, asking, Oh, hello,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: where did you get my number from? He said that
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: he saw it in my open wallet when I was
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: in the fitting room, and he said he just wanted
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: to say hello. As you can imagine, I was pretty
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: creeped out by this. I was just like, uh, yeah,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: alright then. He said he wanted to get to know
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: me because I seemed cool to him. He then sent
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: me another text saying that those jeans that I was
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: wearing made my butt look hot, and he asked me
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to send him a picture of me in my underwear.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I was disgusted. I told him I was a 17-year-old guy.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: He then said, it's alright. I'm really into people your age.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Just send me one picture of you in your underwear.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I told him no and that he shouldn't be flirting
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: with a minor because I was only 17 at the time.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: He told me he was gay and he told me
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: to also send him a picture of me naked and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: I told him he's a pervert for asking a 17
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: year old dude for nude photos and photos of me
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: in my underwear. He said that he knew where I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: live and he would come to my house and strangle
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: me if I didn't send him any of the photos
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: of me naked or in my underwear. I went to
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: go show the text to my mother. She saw all
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: of the text, and she was furious. We then got
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: in the car and drove to the police station to
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: file a report. We showed them the messages, and they
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: printed them off as evidence. They tracked the guy's phone number.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and it was confirmed to be the same exact guy
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: who gave me that devilish grin at the self-checkout at
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the Walmart. The police came back and told us that
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: he was a registered sex offender and was also wanted
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: for abduction of a nine-year-old girl. Long story short, this
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: guy ended up getting arrested. Both me and my mom
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: were very relieved that he was arrested, and we never
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: did see him again after that night.
