3 True Exploring Abandoned Places Horror Stories (Vol. 2) That Will Keep You Paranoid · True Horror Stories

  Speaker 1: Me and my best friend while call Matt lived in Pennsylvania.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: We are technically neighbors, though he lives almost a mile
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: down the road. Both of our homes have a lot
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: of land, mainly filled with empty forest areas that lead
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: up to the hills. Anyway, Matt was hanging over at
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: my place one night when he mentioned that he'd found
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: something interesting while he was out in the forest behind
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: his house. He said it was a tunnel with old
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: wooden beams holding it together. Matt said he didn't want
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to explore it alone, as it gave him a bad feeling.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I asked how far it was, and he said it
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: was maybe a mile's walk behind his house, with no
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: path or anything leading to it. Honestly, it sounded interesting
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to me, so I agreed to check it out with him.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I grabbed my small backpack from my closet and packed
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a flashlight in a water bottle. Then we drove my
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: car over to his house and started the walk. It
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: was only five pm, so we had a good two
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: hours of sunlight left, which we both figured would be fine.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: We walked for twenty minutes before we made it. The
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: structure was exactly as he'd described, a simple tunnel with
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: wooden pillars holding up the entrance. There was nothing else
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: outside of it or anything lying around. Matt took the
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: flashlight out of my bag and shined it inside the tunnel.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: As we approached the entrance, it seemed to go straight
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: for a while, with more beams on the sides. I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: thought it was an abandoned mine, but it was so
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: bare and empty that it made me unsure. I've seen
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: old mines before, but they usually have stuff lying around,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: old wooden crates, or even short rails leading to them.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Matt led the way in and I followed behind. It
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: was cold and creepy. Every step we took. I gooed
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: down the tunnel. After a minute's walk, we reached the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: end of the entrance tunnel, finding another path going to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the left on the way with some writing as well.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: It was an arrow pointing back to where we came
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and had the word exit written below it. We continued on,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: but only a few steps down we noticed a lot
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of garbage piled around the sides, trash bags, food wrappers,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and water bottles. Mostly. We already knew someone had been
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: here before, having seen the writing, but the trash didn't
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: look dirty. Matt held the light close to a chip
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: bag on the ground, and it was clean, barely even
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a speck of dust on it, with dust basically falling
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: from the ceiling. This creeped us out. Someone had to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: have been here within the last few hours, unless there
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: was some weird phenomenon going on with all the trash.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I think Matt saw the worry on my face because
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: he said it was likely some teens hanging out here earlier.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: He started walking again, passing the trash. As Matt's footsteps departed,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: I got an odd feel, and I looked back where
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: we came from, making sure no one was watching us.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: But then I heard Matt's footsteps stop abruptly. I turned
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and saw him down the tunnel, facing what looked like
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: another hallway, but he was standing still. Matt at my
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: voice echoed through the tunnel, but he didn't respond the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: way he was standing so still and clearly looking at
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: something like he was in shock. I'm sorry, he whispered,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: backing away and quickly walking towards me while pointing ahead
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: for me to go back. As we turned into the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: main tunnel, a loud bang echoed towards us. We sprinted
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: until we finally made it out, then jogged the rest
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of the way to Matt's house while watching behind us
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to make sure nobody was following. When we got inside,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I looked over at Matt's and he looked horrified. What happened?
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Was someone in there? I asked, still not knowing what
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: he'd seen. He looked at me, then looked back down.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: He said there was an unclothed man sitting just a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: few feet down the next tunnel. Apparently he was holding
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: what looked like a squirrel or a rabbit in a
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: way that Matt said looked like he was trying to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: gut it and eat it. Hearing this, I almost wanted
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: to crack a joke or say that I knew he
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: was just messing with me, But there was something about
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the way he told me that I knew he wasn't lying.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That would be a pretty disturbing thing
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to see in a place like that. We never went back,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and a few days later Matt seemed to be back
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to normal. Obviously, I never saw the man, so it
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: could all be some weird, made up story. But if
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you saw the way Matt was after we got out
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of that tunnel, you'd believe him too. With people living
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in the wilderness like that, though, there's no telling what
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: they'll do if they see you, especially if you happened
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to have wandered into their home like we did. I
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: had recently moved into a new house outside the city
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I lived in. I wanted to be away from the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: chaotic lifestyle of living in a city and be in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a more calm, quiet area. The house I got was
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a rental property owned by a nice man. Everything about
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: it was perfect. The inside was a good size and modern,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and the outside had a lot of land filled with
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: trees blocking the views of roads and neighbors houses. It
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: made it easy to feel like I was alone in
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the middle of nowhere, which was actually a good feeling
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: for me. I had been there for almost a week,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: though I almost never had the chance to go outside
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: due to working all day. But on Friday afternoon, I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: got home from work early, so I decided to walk
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: around the trees on the side of the house. It
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: was nice and peaceful, but was just a regular forest,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I guess. After being out there for a couple minutes, though,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I spotted something in the distance far behind the trees.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It looked like some sort of structure, but the trees
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: were blocking the view, so I couldn't tell exactly what
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it was, though I was able to tell that it
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: definitely wasn't a house, at least not one that someone
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: lived in recently. I wasn't really in the exploring mood
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and it was getting late, so I left it and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: went inside for the night. A few hours later, though,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I found myself thinking about it again and ended up
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: contacting the landlord and asking about it. I was just
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: curious and felt that it would be of no harm
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to ask. I forgot about the text after a while, though,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and went on with my night until I went to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: bed around nine. I went to work the next morning
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and got back at four, which was when I noticed
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I still hadn't gotten a response from the landlord. I
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: thought maybe he didn't know what I was talking about,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: which then made me doubt myself. I really did get
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a good look at it, so maybe I'd mistaken it
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: for something that it wasn't. I went back outside and
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: walked further into the forest towards where I had seen it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Once I spotted it again, I got closer. I knew
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: now that it was definitely real, which made it odd
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: if the landlord didn't know it was here. Considering he
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: told me that he had lived on the property for
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: four years. Standing right next to it, though, I was
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: able to tell that it was actually a very old
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: abandoned home. It was small but seemed to have two stories.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I walked around it, just kind of inspecting it. I
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: really didn't like that it was in my backyard and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that nobody told me about it. I knew it probably
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: didn't make any difference to anything, but the thing was
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: creepy as hell. But around the back was an old
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: door that was half open and barely hanging on the hinges.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to go inside this place, but I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: knew I couldn't bear the thought of knowing that this
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: abandoned home was in my yard while having no idea
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: what's inside it. After seeing everything that I could from
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the outside, I walked up the broken back porch and
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: knocked on the walls, making sure nothing was inside. Then
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I slowly pushed the door open and stepped in. The
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: First thing that hit me was the smell. It was disgusting,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: probably the worst thing I'd ever smelled. I went further in,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: expecting to see a dead animal, somewhere, but it was
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: mostly empty aside from an old table in the middle
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: of the room. It was dark as there were only
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: two windows, both having boards covering them. There was another
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: room on the bottom floor that was also empty, but
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: had a staircase going up. The problem, though, was that
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it was pitch black at the top of the stairs.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Thinking about it then, I hadn't seen any windows on
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the top floor from the outside. Going up. There was
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: a little too much for me, but I at least
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: wanted to see that it looked normal, so I grabbed
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: my phone out and shined the light up the stairs.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: But there was nothing, I mean no upstairs. It was
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: just a wooden wall at the top of the steps.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I was in a weird state of confusion and shock
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: just looking at the strange structure. But then I heard something.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Someone else was breathing very softly behind the wall at
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the top of the steps. I backed away slowly, hoping
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I hadn't been noticed already. But after I started moving,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I heard footsteps upstairs, walking across the floor. It sounded
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: like they too were trying to be quiet. Though I
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: got maybe halfway before I couldn't handle the intent entity
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: of the situation, and I just sprinted out of the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: house and back to mine. I locked all my doors
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and stood by the window, checking for anyone following me.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I really wasn't sure what to do. I didn't even
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: know if that house was actually on my property or not.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Plus it really wasn't even my property anyways, because I
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: was renting. The landlord still hadn't responded, though, which just
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: made me feel worse about the whole thing. Unfortunately, due
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to my overthinking, I didn't finally get myself to call
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the police until an hour later. They were unsure about
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the place as well as far as what it was
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: or who it belonged to, but when they searched it,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: it was empty. I asked them about the wall at
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the top of the stairs, but I was even more
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: terrified to hear that they didn't know what I was
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: talking about. They said they walked upstairs and there was
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: just another empty room, no wall blocking it or anything.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: I only grew more concerned and worried, but I was
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: getting the feeling that they didn't take the case very seriously,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: nor did they care about my concerns. So I just
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: let them leave. The worst and maybe even the most
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: strange part of all was in the weeks following my
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: landlord continued to not respond even to my normal questions
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: about payments. After it had been over a month of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: no responses, I sent him one last message saying I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: was breaking the lease and would be moving out. I left,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: never getting any more text or emails from them. Despite
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: ending my signed lease eleven months early. While nothing actually happened,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I still consider my experience at that house to be
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: one of the most horrifying and unusual experiences of my life.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: My friends and I grew up in the Midwest, and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: if you know any thing about the Midwest is that
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: there's nothing fun to do. Oftentimes, my friends and I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: would hang out at parks, drink, and maybe play some
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: monkey chips if we had nothing to talk about. Earlier
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that year, a pool nearby closed down for some reason.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: It was left as just an empty building with a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: huge pit where the water used to be. After a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: few months of no activity, we decided that that was
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: our news chosen spot to hang out at. We hopped
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the fence, poured some drinks and plastic cups, and sat
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: in the emptied water pit. It was a Friday and
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: pretty late. We all kind of just sat there while
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: talking about random stuff. But that's when we heard the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: sound of the fence jangling. We all looked at each other.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: My mind immediately went to the cops, and I think
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: everyone else has did too. This was a few years ago,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and none of us were legally old enough to be drinking.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: While we're all freaking out waiting to get busted, we
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: hear someone's feet hit the pavement, and then we hear
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: what I assume is one of the bathroom doors opened
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and shut. Who would be here at this time alone?
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Apparently my friends had the same thought. Two of them
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: began whispering theories about who it could be. If it
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: was some sort of park official, they wouldn't need to
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: jump the fence. The one thing we could all agree
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: on was that we should probably leave before he decides
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to come out. As quietly as we could. We all
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: climbed up the pool ladder and hopped the fence and
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: then started back home. We slow down and I hear
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: my friend swear shit. Apparently he forgot his phone back
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: at the pool. We all stand there trying to figure
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: out if we should go back. I agreed to go
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: back with my friend, but none of the others wanted to,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: and that was probably a smart idea on their part,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: but I wasn't going to let my friend go alone.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: We made our way back and tried to climb the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: fence as quietly as possible. He climbed down the ladder
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: as I stayed and stood watch behind an old plastic chair,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: looking at the bathroom doors. The entire time, everything seemed quiet.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: I heard my friend climbing back up, but immediately I
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: saw a figure moved by the kiddie pool area, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: my heart went into full panic mode as the figure
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: that was crouched down stood up and started sprinting towards us.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I helped my friend up the ladder and we booked it.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not the fastest and I've definitely got some weight
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: on me, so I know. The only thing keeping me
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: at speed with my friend was pure adrenaline. I heard
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: a bottle break behind me and he started yelling, but
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I couldn't understand what he was saying. The only words
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I could make out was him saying, get away from me.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: We started climbing the fence as fast as we could,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: but it was really hard to do while scared and drunk.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: We got to the top and jump down, falling to
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: our knees and having to get up. And that's when
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I saw what he looked like, barefoot, ripped jeans and
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a yellow stained T shirt. He was an older man
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: with a disgusting beard, and his entire face looked gray.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't make out the rest, but I didn't want to,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: so I got up and started to run again. I
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: could hear him shouting behind us to never come back.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: At the moment, it was terrifying, but now that I'm
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: older and looking back, I laugh with my friends about it.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I do feel bad for that guy, though he clearly
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: was homeless and not all there in the head, probably
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: thought we were out to get him or something. Needless
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to say, we never went back to that pool. A
