3 Creepy True Winter Night Horror Stories (Vol. 2) That Will Freeze Your Blood · True Horror Stories

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I live in the western territory of Wyoming. Most of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Wyoming is made up of small towns and long roads
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: going between them. I live in one of these towns,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: consisting of maybe forty to fifty buildings total and barely
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the area of a square mile. The next nearest town
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is an hour drive away. Anyway, My cottage type home
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: is down a trail away from the center of town.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I live alone with my dog Sam, but I find
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: it peaceful, at least for right now. I never found
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that I had to worry about anything being so far
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: away from civilization, but one night I realized that that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: was exactly why I should be worried. I worked from home,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: so just like any other day, I worked until five
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: and then got off and took my dog for a
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: long walk. We would often go through a trail I
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: made in the forest behind our house. It was the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: middle of winter, though, so it was fairly cold and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: there was a light snowfall. I walked Sam for maybe
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: twenty minutes before the sun began setting, and I decided
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it best to turn around and head back to the house.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Alonger walk back, Sam perked his head up and stopped,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: suddenly staring ahead. It was somewhat dark at this point,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: but I could still see clear enough that nothing was there.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I kept walking forward and Sam eventually followed, but a
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: few steps later I noticed something on the path. I
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: got closer. There were footprints in the thin layer of snow.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: While it was already odd for there to be footprints
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on a self made trail next to my isolated home,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: what was more odd was the direction in which they
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: were going. They went across the trail, not along it,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and based on the angle, they were going straight through
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the trees in the direction of my house. I would
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: have noticed them on our way up the path, so
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: they had to be recent within the last ten minutes
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: for sure. I tugged Sam along, walking quickly on the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: trail as the snow began to pick up. When we
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: exited the tree line, it was too dark and snowy
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to even see the house clearly. Getting closer, though, a
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: really bad, unnerving feeling came across me. I felt safer
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: with Sam next to me, but something just didn't feel right.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I went up to the front door and opened it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Sam seemed to be acting normal, so.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I felt a bit of relief.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I took his collar and leash off, but after a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: few minutes I couldn't shake the thought of those footprints
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: in the snow. I decided I needed peace of mind
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and grabbed my coat to go check and make sure
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: that no footprints were around the house. It was really
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: dark and the snow was heavy now. I walked around
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the side and started looking for any signs of anything,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: but with so much snow, I was sure it would
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: be covered up by now. Still, I just wanted to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: make sure I was on the left side of my house,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: saying nothing at all. When Sam suddenly started barking from inside.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: It startled me, but I immediately ran back round to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the front and went inside. I called out for Sam,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: running through the living room and over to the back door,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: where I saw him standing. His tail was between his
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: legs and he was staring at the back door intensely.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I hurried over to him, his gaze not even shifting
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: from the door. My adrenaline was rushing through me by
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: now getting really scared. Looking over at the back door
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: more closely, my heart stopped when I saw water on
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the floor inside the house, right by the door. Mat
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I switched on the backyard light, seeing footprints going right
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: up to the door, then back out and around.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: The side of the house.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I was really scared and quickly ran to grab my
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: hunting rifle from the other room. I know it's not
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the most practical self defense weapon, but it was intimidating
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: at least. I felt trapped. Had a disadvantage unknowing of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: who this person was, where they were, or what they wanted,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: but seeing as they tried entering my house, they were
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: willing to risk their life for whatever it was they
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: were after. The footprints went off to the right side
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of the house, though, so I ran over to that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: area of the home and turned on the lights, then
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: opened the blinds on the window. Just as I opened
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the blinds, I heard loud, heavy footsteps running away from
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the window. Sam began barking again, and I tried to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: look out, but I couldn't see anything through the snow.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I stayed on high alert for hours, unsure of what
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: exactly to do. Police in this area weren't exactly able
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to provide as much service as they may do in
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: more populated areas, so I really was on my own
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: for the most part. Thankfully, that seemed to be the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: end of it, though I notified the police of the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: incident the next morning, but I never found any answers.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know who it was or what they were
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: trying to do. It was extremely creepy, though. It made
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: me a bit more uncomfortable with living so far from others.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: But luckily I still have Sam with me, because without
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: him scaring the intruder away, I don't know if i'd
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: be here right now.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: This happened to.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Me several years ago when I was in college. It
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: was just after finals and winter break was starting, so
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: they gave us a little under a week to get
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: our stuff together and leave for the month. I'm not
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: sure if all colleges did this, but always didn't allow
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: students to stay in the dorms during large breaks like
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: winter and summer. Anyway, my parents were supposed to come
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: on the very last day possible. I didn't have much
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to pack, so I just waited. During these days, though,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I said bye to all my friends and the whole
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: building was pretty much emptied immediately. It was winter break,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: after all, so everyone was eager to leave. My parents
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: were driving, though, and they had busy lives, so that's
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: just how it was for me. I honestly didn't mind
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the quiet, though, but it was the night before my
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: parents were going to arrive, and basically no students were
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: here anymore. Around ten o'clock, I got ready for bed
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and turned off the lights in my room. I don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: think it was even five minutes later when a knock
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: came from my door. I jumped, as it kind of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: freaked me out. I had no idea who could possibly
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: be at my door, given all the people I knew
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: had already left. Not to mention it was ten pm, regardless,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I got up and went over to the door. When
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I opened it, I was surprised to see a large
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: young man standing there, bundled up in a winter jacket.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: He looked like a student, though. Can I help you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: with something?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I asked.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: He asked me if i'd seen a guy here. He
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: didn't give me a name, but rather just described his
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: features before answering. I asked why I had no idea
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: who I was talking to or why he was at
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: my door, so I wanted some answers first. He stumbled
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: out a few words before settling on saying that he
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: was his roommate and he wasn't sure where he went,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: but if he was his roommate, then why didn't he
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: just give me a name. It all seemed really weird.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure how to respond and stood there for
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a moment thinking of what to do, before he interrupted
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: my thoughts and asked me something really bizarre. Can I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: check if he's in your room? I immediately said no
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and began shutting the door. The guy stopped me, though,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: putting his hand on the other side. He wasn't trying
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to push it open, but he was pushing hard enough
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: to keep me from closing it. I told him to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: back off as sternly as I could, but he again
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: asked me to check my room. I didn't know what
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the fuck was going on, but I knew I needed
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to find a way out of this quick before it
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: escalated to something a lot worse. I only had a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: few seconds to think, and I realized in those moments
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that I'd already messed up by opening the door in
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the first place. I guess spending so much time living
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: in a dorm, I never had a reason to fear
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: opening my door. I backed up, letting the guy open
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it fully. He smiled. I gestured with my hand, allowing
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: him to come inside. I barely had anything in here,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: nothing worth stealing if that's what he was after, so
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I hoped this would get him to be in and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: out quickly. As soon as he took a few steps
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and passed me in the room, I walked out the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: door and into the hallway. He turned and looked at
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: me as if I had offended him by walking out.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I just didn't want to be trapped in a small
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: room with this random, big dude. He glanced around my
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: room for a few seconds, then he came back into
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the hallway, and without saying another word, he left. I
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: had no clue what just happened, but the more thought
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I gave it, the crazier it seemed. Thinking about his appearance,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I knew it was snowing, so it wasn't odd that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: he was wearing thick winter clothing. But what was odd
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: was that he seemed to have just come from outside.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: His jacket had water droplets from recently melted snow, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: his nose was red like he'd been out in the cold,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: snowy night for a while. I just didn't understand what
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: random student would go straight from outside to my dorm
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: room on the third floor and knock on my door
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: at ten pm. Why was he even asking me how
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: did he know I was here? There's a hundred rooms
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in this building and he happened to knock on mine.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Nothing made sense at all, and it kept me up
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: all night. I even moved my small dresser in front
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of my door, just in case. Before my parents picked
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: me up. On the following day, I decided to walk
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: over to the police department across the street. When I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: told them what happened, they seemed to be a lot
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: more interested than I had expected. I answered a ton
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of questions until finally they told me what was going
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: on after ruling me out from being a suspect. A
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: kid on the floor below mine was missing yesterday morning
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: when his parents came to pick him up. He had
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: no roommate, and with the building so empty, it made
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the case a lot more difficult. Obviously, hearing about the
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: guy at my dorm last night, they were thinking it
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: may be a good lead. But days turned to weeks
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and then months. I don't know what happened, as it's
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: been many years. I think back about how that guy
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: at my room knew that someone was missing and said
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it was his roommate, but obviously he was lying. I
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: don't think he ever turned up either. I also think
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: about why he came to my room specifically, and if
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: he planned to make me go missing as well. He
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: also could have just been some random guy looking for
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: his friend, but that seems unlikely due to all the coincidences.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: There's so much I don't know, and unfortunately we'll probably
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: never know. I drive for a local grocery chain in
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: my area. It's not a full sized semi truck, it's
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: more of a large van, but I usually have an
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: eight to ten hour route that goes.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Between three to four stores.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty simple job that pays nice enough and
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: gives me little to no stress. The only time things
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: do get stressful is in winter. The van struggles in
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the snowy conditions, and with thousands of dollars worth of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: cargo in the back, it puts a bit of stress
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: on me. This winter had been worse than most, with
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: more snowfall, ice, and foggy conditions. On this particular day,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I had to stop at four stores. It was snowing
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: a decent amount, but the plows were keeping up with
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the roads, so there wasn't too many issues. By the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: time I finished unloading the last of the cargo. At
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the fourth store. It was eight o'clock and the snow
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: had started piling up a bit more on the road. Dark,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: snowy and unplowed roads are never a good combo when driving.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: One thing to mention as well is that large trucks
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and vans have an easier time managing the snow when
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: they are heavier, giving them more traction. So with no
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: more cargo in the back of my van, I had
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to drive extra carefully since the back wheels were lighter
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and could slide out easily. The start of the drive
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: back went well, but the further route I got towards
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the warehouse, the less plowed the roads were. There was
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: a long stretch of road that leads directly to the warehouse,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: and I was worried that it may not be plowed
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: at all given the state of the main roads. This
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: wasn't a main entrance to the warehouse lot either, but
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: it was a less busy side route that a lot
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of US drivers use frequently when coming in from the south,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: as it saves nearly five minutes of driving turning onto
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: this road, though I was surprised to see it was
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: actually plowed recently, barely any snow on it at all.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: This was rare because this road only leads to warehouse buildings,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: so it wasn't seen as a priority for plowing companies.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Thankful for this, I rolled down the road at a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: steady pace. I don't remember what I was thinking about,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: probably just my plans for the rest of the night.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: After I got off.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: When out of nowhere, the road ahead was packed full
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: of snow. I slammed on my brakes and luckily I
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: was able to stop just before I hit the snow,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: but it definitely got me awake and a bit dazed.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I looked up and in the headlights was a completely
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: unplowed road for the.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Rest of the way up to the warehouse.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I'd never seen a road only plowed half way with
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: such a sudden stop. There wasn't even anywhere to turn around,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: so they must have just plowed all the way up
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: here and then backed all the way out. I couldn't
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: believe it. After a minute, I was getting a bit angry, Actually,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: who would do something like this?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I left my van on, but got out and looked
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: at the road.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: It was really cold and snowy, but I could see
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: clear tracks from multiple vehicles. I turned and looked down
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the road where I came, and not far from the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: back of my van, I saw something on the ground.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I walked over and got a closer look. On the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: road was a bunch of equipment like parts to something.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what they were, but they looked expensive
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and definitely didn't belong on the road. It seemed like
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: they'd fallen out of a truck that was heading to
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: the warehouse. I got back inside my van and started
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: backing out. At the time, I was telling myself that
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I was just being dramatic, but I couldn't help but
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: feel like I was in the middle of some weird
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: crime scene. When I made it off the road, I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: pulled around and drove the extra minutes around to the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: front of the warehouse and took the main entrance. As
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I was pulling up, though, my work phone started buzzing.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: The night manager at the warehouse was calling me, which
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: was extremely rare. I picked up and they immediately asked
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: if I was okay and told me to take the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: main entrance and not the back route. I just said
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: okay since I was already at the warehouse, but then
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I went inside to talk to him and figure out
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: what was going on. Apparently he had just gotten word
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: in from a neighboring warehouse that one of their drivers
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: got jumped and robbed on the back road.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: He said the police were already on their way as well.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Hearing that everything made sense in my head, and I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: fell silent for a second, then told him what happened
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: to me. It didn't take long for the guys to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: get caught, though, because the expensive equipment they stole turned
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: out to be highly secured and had internal trackers. It
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: was a group of young men who admitted to making
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the road into a trap where they would follow a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: truck once they turned in, and then block their only
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: exit once they reached the dead end. Then, of course
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: they'd rob the cargo and hold the driver at gunpoint
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: while they did it. I was creeped out for a while,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: unsure of what to think. I'd never had something like
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: that happened to me before, so it's strange for me
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to think that if I had arrived only a few
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: minutes earlier, I would have been caught in a trap
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and had a gun to my head.
