3 True Home Alone Horror Stories (With Rain Sounds) That Will Keep You Paranoid · True Horror Stories

  Speaker 1: I was at home making dinner on a regular night
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: after work. It was around seven pm or maybe even later,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and I'd gotten home from work only an hour before.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I wasn't making anything fancy, just a small chicken breast
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and some frozen corn. I had just finished with the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: chicken and began draining the water from the corn when
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a light scraping sound came through the house. It was
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: short and quick and not very loud, but the strangeness
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of the sound that made me flinch a little. I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: continued doing what I was doing, thinking it was just
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: some weird sound that the house was making that I
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: had just never heard before. But then again, that same
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: scraping sound vibrated through the walls. It was such an
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: unusual sound I had no idea what to think of it.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I quickly finished plating my food, then went toward the
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: front door to listen for it again, hoping to pinpoint
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: where it was coming from. I waited for maybe thirty seconds,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: not hearing anything, then went back to the table to eat.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Even still, at this point, I wasn't thinking anything of it.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I was only curious as to why the house was
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: making that sound, But I wasn't worried in the slightest,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I spent a few minutes eating, then went over to
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the couch to rest and watch some Netflix for a bit.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But through the show I would constantly hear that obnoxious
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: scraping sound over and over. Eventually it was just getting
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: so aggravating that I turned off the TV and just
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: waited listening. When the sound came again, I was able
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to hear it more clearly coming from somewhere upstairs. I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: quickly walked up to the second floor, still just annoyed
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: at the house for ruining my night, but also a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: bit more concerned that there may actually be something wrong.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: With the house.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: At the top of the steps, I stayed in the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: hallway waiting again for the sound. A whole minute went
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: by of nothing, so I began searching the rooms to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: make sure everything was okay. It didn't seem like anything
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was unusual or broken, so now I was starting to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: really get confused and worried. I put some shoes on
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and went outside, and while it was dark, I figured
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: i'd maybe be able to see a tree scraping against
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the house, or possibly some other issue. I went to
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the side of the house where I knew there was
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: a tree, but it wasn't windy at all, and the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: branches were nowhere near the side. I kind of just
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: stood there wondering how this was happening, and Wyatt suddenly
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: started tonight. I was tired and this was the last
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: thing I wanted to be doing. I walked back around
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to the front of the house, and on my way
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to the front door, a glimmer of light came in
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the side of my vision. I turned and looked as
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it seemingly came from the front of the house. I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: walked further down the driveway by the sidewalk and looked back,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and that's when I saw a small light coming from
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: one of the windows in a dark room of my home.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: After a couple seconds, I realized there was the attic
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: window and that the light was moving, almost like someone
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: was shining.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: A flashlight around.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I was horrified someone was in my attic doing who
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: knows what and for how long. I stayed out front,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: calling the police as I stared at the window, watching
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the light move around slowly, But as I was talking
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: on the phone, the light got dimmer before shining directly
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: at me. They held it there for a couple seconds,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: then shut it off, and even from outside, I was
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: able to hear a few loud thuds. I immediately ran
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: over to my neighbor's yard, trying to explain to the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: operator what was going on, while looking over at my
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: house in terror. From where I was, it looked silent
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and calm, but that only made it more scary, knowing
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that something awful was likely going on inside. After a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: few minutes, though, nothing else was seen, and the cops
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: finally made it. They searched the house first, then brought
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: me inside to talk. They found multiple shoe prints in
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the attic, and they suspected it was likely a group
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: of teenagers messing around with me and likely not trying
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to cause any harm. There were no signs of anyone
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: living there or anything, which was a relief. They found
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: some carvings in the wooden beams, though, but they weren't
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: anything specific, just lines basically. Again, the cops assured me
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: that the kids were probably just messing with me and
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: trying to get a reaction out of me. As for
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: how they got in, they think they may have somehow
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: gotten on the roof and climbed in through a window
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: while I was at work that day. However, they exited
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: through the attic doorway.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: On the ceiling and got out through my back door.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I know they said confidently that it was just a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: harmless group of kids, but that doesn't make me feel
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: any safer. Knowing that some random group of people broke
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: into my house and was camping out there all day
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and at night while I was home is really unnerving.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, those cops didn't actually know what the group's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: intention were either, so who knows what they actually planned undoing.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: As a kid, I grew.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Up in a normal neighborhood. We had a nice, mid
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: sized home and a very ordinary family. When I turned seven,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: we adopted a small dog named Max. He was my
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: best friend for years, and as I grew up, i'd
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: be home alone more often, but with Max there with me,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I'd never really feel like I was alone. I never
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: felt the need to worry or be afraid of anything.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately this didn't last forever though. When I turned fifteen,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: my family sold our home and moved twenty minutes away
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to a more isolated, smaller house in a forested area,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and sadly that summer Max passed away due to old age.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I was thankful that it was summer, though, because I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: had time to grieve at home without having to go
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: to school or anything. After a few days of the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: family grieving together at the loss of our first family dog,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: things went back to normal. My parents went back to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: work and I stayed home on summer break. However, I immediately
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: felt a difference. This was the first time I'd ever
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: really been completely home alone in my entire life. Without
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Max to always be by my side, I was constantly
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: paranoid and uneasy about every small sound coming from the house.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Not to mention, we'd only lived in the place for
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: a few months, so I didn't even really know the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: area or feel fully safe yet. Anyway, just a week
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: after losing Max, it was another regular day. My parents
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: left for work and I stayed home. The house was
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: only one story, so the layout was basically just a line.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: When you walk in the front door, there's the kitchen
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and living room, which then leads to a long hallway
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: with two rooms on the side. In my parents' bedroom
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: at the end. For the past week of being alone,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I'd always walked down the hallway and close all of
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the bedroom doors. For some reason, I didn't like seeing
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the doors open in the hallway, as it just gave
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: me a weird feeling, so this day was no different.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I went along the hallway, closing each door until I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: got to my parents' room. I pulled the door through
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the doorway and began walking back, but immediately realized that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear the click sound of the door being
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: fully shut, so I turned back around and pulled the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: door shut more firmly, this time hearing the click sound
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of the door locking in place. I went back to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: my room, where I had my computer and closed the door.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I put on my headphones and watched YouTube for almost
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: two hours straight, since there wasn't much else to do
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: by this point. Though it was about nine a m.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: And I was ready for some breakfast. I laid my
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: headphones on the desk and opened my room door, stepping
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: into the hallway. As I stepped out and turned towards
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the living room, I couldn't help but notice something was
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: off in the corner of my eye. I turned my
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: head to look back down the hallway and instantly froze.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: The door at the end of the hallway was open,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I mean wide to open. I must have stood there
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: for a whole minute, just trying not to make any
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: noise and listen for any movement in my parents' bedroom.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: At this point, though I didn't know what to do,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I knew that I.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Had closed that door and there was no way it
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: could open on its own, so I was pretty confident
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: that somebody could be in the house. I hadn't heard anything, though,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: so I had no idea where they were. They could
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: have been in any room in the house. By now,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I decided to vary quietly and slowly walk through the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: living room and into the kitchen, frantically swiveling my head
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: all around, fearing that they were hiding somewhere. Upon reaching
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the kitchen, I grabbed one of my parents large steak knives,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: gripping the knife tightly in my right hand. I felt
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: slightly better, but ill terrified. I quickly and carefully double
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: checked the living room and dining room, making sure the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: intruder wasn't hiding anywhere. Then stood at the end of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the hallway. I walked down to the spare bedroom, trying
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: to open the door quietly, but it was old and creaky.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Everything seemed to be exactly how it was left. Nothing
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: moved at all. I backed out and closed the door.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I saved my parents' bedroom for last, as it was
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the room with the open door, and I was terrified.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: It didn't help that this house was in the middle
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: of a forest. Knowing that no help was anywhere nearby,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I stood at the doorway for another minute, only able
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to see half of my parents' bed, while clutching the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: knife and listening. It was dead silent. Fear continued to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: rise inside me as I called.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Out shakily, but there was no response.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I tried to sound confident, but I knew it was
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a thin act. I took a step inside, looking around
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the corner. It seemed empty, just like the other rooms,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: with nothing moved at all. I even crouched and looked
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: under the bed, but no one was there. I walked
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to the other side of the bed, and just as
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I noticed a small spot of dirt on the floor,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I heard a soft thud from behind me. I jumped,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: heart racing and stared at the bathroom door that was shut.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I could hear frantic movement in there, while also seeing
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a slight shadow from under the door. A few seconds
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: passed as I stood in fear before hearing one last thud,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: followed by footsteps fading away.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Outside the house.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Still in shock of what had just happened, I carefully
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: walked over and opened the door. Immediately noticing the open window,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I quickly closed and locked it, then ran to my
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: room to grab my phone. I don't know why I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: never called the police. I guess I was just young
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and I didn't want them to come over if nobody
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: was actually there. But upon reflection, I know I should
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: have just left the house and called the cops to
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: begin with. Anyway, I called my parents first, who then
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: called the police and came home soon after. During their investigation,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: they found small patches of dirt from someone's shoe pretty
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: much throughout the whole house except for my room. They
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: were able to tell that it was only one person. However, strangely,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: they didn't take anything. Not a single thing was missing
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: from our home. This was obviously really creepy and unusual,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: making the motives of the intruder much more disturbing. We
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: moved out of the house several months later, though mostly
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: due to other problems with the house. Being in my
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: twenties now, I still think about this encounter every once
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in a while. I wonder what would have happened if
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I wasn't wearing my headphones and heard the person enter,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: since I probably would.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Have looked and seen them.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: It's terrifying to imagine, but I'm thankful for how everything
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: turned out, aside from them the intruder never getting caught.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I'm a twenty four year old female and I rent
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a very small house near my work. Nothing has ever
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: happened to me like this before, but afterwards I have
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: been much more careful about who my friends are. The
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: day started out the same as every other weekday. I
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: went to work, came back home, made some dinner, then
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: sat on the couch to watch a show or a movie.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: It was Friday, so I like to stay up a
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: little later than usual, but sometimes my eyes wouldn't let me.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I turned on a movie around eight o'clock, and at
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: some point I fell asleep during it. It wasn't until
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: a sharp and sudden sound made me jump back out
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: of sleep. It was my phone, and a sound I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: had never heard before. I picked it up from the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: coffee table and squinted my eyes at the bright screen.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: It was a notification for a message I received on Facebook.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Opening it, it took me straight to the Facebook messenger app,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: which I had never actually used before. I was confused
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: seeing a text from a man simply saying hello. His
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: name looked familiar, but was definitely not one of my
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: close friends. I clicked on his profile and saw that
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: we had one mutual friend and that we'd been friends
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: on Facebook for four months. This sparked my memory from
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: when I accepted his invite. Honestly, I just accept anyone's
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: invite as long as they have mutual friends with me.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I don't share anything too private online, so it never
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: really mattered to me.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I went back to the messenger app and just.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Said hi to be polite, though also beginning to recognize
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: how late it was and how odd it was to
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: randomly text someone at this time. Immediately after I sent it,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the three dots appeared as the person was typing, followed
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: by a new message reading it. I immediately gasped and dropped
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: my phone on the tape while looking over at the window.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: The text read I loved that movie too, we should
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: watch it together. I didn't see anything outside the window,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: though it was completely black outside. I was shaking, knowing
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: now that someone was definitely watching me. I felt super
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable too, not knowing how long they'd been watching. Then
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I heard my phone beep again and light up with
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a new message. I was horrified and just stared at
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: my phone on the table, unable to move and too
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: scared to look at the message. I can't even tell
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: you how long I was frozen there for as everything
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: just fell so strange. Before the door bell rang, I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: jumped again, now with tears in my eyes from the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: panicked state I was in. I grabbed my phone and
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: dialed nine one one, then tried to explain my situation
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: as best I could, while overwhelmed and crying. The operator
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: told me they have someone on their way just five
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: minutes out, then told me to lock myself in a
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: room and wait for the help to arrive. I agreed,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: trying to calm myself down. Just as I was ending
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the call, another message came through, then another, and another,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: spamming my phone with that awful beep sound before I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: turned it on silent. I barely got myself to open
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: them and saw maybe ten or fifteen messages in all
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: caps of the man demanding me to open the door.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Then the very last message simply read never mind. I
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: didn't know what that meant, but it only took a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: few seconds for me to find out. A soft bang
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: came from the other side of the house. It was
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: very muffled, as if it were far away, though I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: stood still listening for a moment before another one louder.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: This time, I go through the hallway by the kitchen,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: able to hear the sound more clearly. Now I could
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: tell it was coming from the basement. I quickly ran
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to my bedroom. Hearing another much louder bang followed by
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: something shattering. I locked myself in the room, crying uncontrollably
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: from the fear of the situation as I listened to
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the sounds of the man making his way through the
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: basement and up the stairs. I knew I kept the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: basement door locked, but I was sure the man would
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: break through at any minute.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I heard the.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Doorknob rattling, followed by several shoves as if attempting to
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: push through it, before three loud knocks.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Came from the front door. Police open up.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I sprinted to the front door, unlocking it and letting
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: them in. There were two male police officers, and I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: think they could see the worry in my eyes. I
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: pointed to the basement door, talking fast and telling them
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: that he was in there, and they immediately took their
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: guns out and rushed in the intruder's footsteps ran down
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the steps as the officers opened the door and carefully
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: followed after they caught the man after a quick struggle.
