3 Disturbing True Stalker Horror Stories (With Rain Sounds) That Will Haunt You · True Horror Stories

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Being a relatively young and shy person, I've started using
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: dating apps to help me meet more people and hopefully
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: find a lasting relationship. I struggle with putting myself out there,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: especially in public with people i've never met, so apps
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: like Tinder are great for me to get comfortable talking
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: with someone before actually meeting them in person. For reference,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: I'm a female in my early twenties and I've been
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: using Tinder for a little over a year at the time.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Most of my interactions up until this point had been fine,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: usually either ending up dating for a couple months or
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: just becoming friends. All of the breakups had been mutual
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and had no hard feelings anyway. This began a couple
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: months after my last relationship. I was talking to a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: guy who while referred to as Peter, for about two
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: weeks on Tinder. From our back and forth texting, he
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: seemed like a nice, somewhat shy person, but part of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: me like that because I was shy as well. Eventually,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: he finally asked me out on a date and we
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: met up at a local restaurant later that week. Upon
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: meeting him in person, nothing seemed off at first.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: One of my.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Biggest fears is that they'll look nothing like they did
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in the pictures. But Peter didn't look any different, and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: he was just as soft spoken as he was over text.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Our conversation at dinner that night was really awkward, though
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: he barely spoke and kept looking around. Me, not being
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a big talker either, was trying really hard to get
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: him to open up a bit, but he would give simple,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: one word answers.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: At one point, he.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Even left the table, saying he forgot something in his
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: car and didn't come back for almost fifteen minutes, leaving
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: me there alone. So, of course, when dinner was done
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: with I kindly told him that I didn't feel a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: great connection and didn't want to continue further in a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: relationship with him. He stood quietly and nodded, then walked
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: to his car. I felt bad, but that's just how
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it was. I got my car and headed home that night.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I thought about Peter a few times, feeling weird now
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: that I didn't have anyone to text, but I sat
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: down and turned on a movie to clear my mind.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: It was nearly eleven PM when I heard soft footsteps
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: coming up to my front door and stopping. I muted
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the TV and turned to face the door, still sitting
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: on the couch. I was tired, but I knew I
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: had heard someone. Thirty seconds of anticipation went by before
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a few loud knocks banged on the door. It startled me,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: even though I was half expecting it. I got up
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and looked through the peepole, and to my surprise at
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the time, Peter was standing there.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I opened the door a crack and stuck my head out,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: what are you doing here, Peter.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Peter looked at me, then turned away for a moment
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: looking around. This made me feel really uneasy, and I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: just shut the door and locked it, hoping he'd get
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the hint to leave my property. After a few seconds,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I heard footsteps departing towards the driveway and a car
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: turning on and leaving. I checked the window to make
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: sure he was gone, then sat back on the couch.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I think I was just too tired to realize in
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the shock of the moment, but it wasn't until I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: sat back down that I realized that I had never
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: given Peter my address. A really bad feeling surged through
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: my body, and I went to check the window again
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to be safe. I didn't necessarily feel in danger at
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: this point, but just worried that Peter may have something
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: wrong with him and had grown too attached to me.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I went to bed not long after and slept well
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: through the night. In the morning, I made coffee and breakfast,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and due to the cold, snowy weather, I stayed inside
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: most of the day. It wasn't until I was bringing
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the trash out to the that I noticed a set
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of footprints around the side of the house. Following them,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: they went around both sides of the house and right
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: up to the gate to the backyard, then off to
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the road. I tried to rethink what happened last night,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: but I was sure I heard Peter only walk up
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: to the door and not around the house, so these
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: footprints had to have been from the middle of the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: night while I was sleeping. Standing in my living room now,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I was getting extremely uncomfortable and nervous. I know it
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: sounds dumb, but my social anxiety was really trying to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: look for every reason not to call nine one one
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: at that time. Though, I'm very thankful that my panic
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: overtook my anxiety and got me to call the police.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: This decision is very likely what saved my life. Holding
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: my phone after talking to a dispatcher. I stared at
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the ground and took deep breaths to keep my head straight.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I'd never dealt with something like this. My mind wasn't
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: prepared to handle the stress. But as I stood there
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: trying to calm my head, I heard footsteps in the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: snow outside the living room window. I'm not sure what
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: else to describe how I felt, other than just completely scared.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: The footsteps stopped outside the window, and I began to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: back up, slowly, trying to get to the kitchen. Then
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: came a slight scraping sound, likely a knife being wedged
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: between the window trying to.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Pry it open.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It was an unfortunate reaction of mine to scream from
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the terror of it. Immediately the footsteps ran around to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the side of the house, followed by the forceful sound
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: of the gate breaking open. I grabbed the first knife
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I saw in the kitchen and sprinted upstairs, turning the corner.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Though I saw a glimpse of Peter outside the glass
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: back door, trying to force it open. I locked myself
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom, crying and clutching onto the kitchen knife
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: as I listened to the harsh banging scraping.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And beating on the back door.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: It sounded like a bear trying to claw and smash
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: its way inside. This went on for maybe two or
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: three minutes.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Which felt like forever.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I thought of all the horrible things he planned on
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: doing when he made his way inside, making me even
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: more emotional. But then a knock at the front door.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Overcame the sound of the banging at the back door,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: which immediately stopped. An officer called out and I ran
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: straight to the front door. While Peter had run off.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: They were able to find him pretty quickly, and he
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: admitted to his crimes, though he gave little reasoning.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: For doing them.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: He truly just seemed crazy and unstable. It's terrifying to
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: think how this happened from seemingly meeting up with a normal,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: friendly guy. This whole thing has given me terrible trust issues,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and I stopped using dating apps. One of the scariest
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: things was that the back door was almost completely destroyed,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: barely hanging on.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: By the latch.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Likely, if the police had shown up just minutes later,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Peter would have made it inside, and who knows what
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: he would have done if he had gotten to me.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I broke things off of my ex a few years ago.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: He became a reckless person, unable to hold a job
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: or any responsibilities.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: So it just didn't work out.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Even being the person he was, though, I never thought
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: he would do.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Something like this. The few months after.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: The breakup were quiet and peaceful. I was enjoying my
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: single life, just going.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Through the days.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: One night, though, I was driving back home from work
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: later than usual, and as I pulled into the driveway,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I saw a man wearing all black standing outside a
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: window on the left side of my house as if
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: they were trying to look inside. This was obviously really creepy,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and I pulled back out of the driveway and parked
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: further down the road, calling the police.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I waited for them to show.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Up, then, once they informed me that whoever it was
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: had left, I was able to go inside. They asked
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: if I had any idea who it could have been,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: but at the time I said no. Again, I never
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: thought of my ex as that kind of person, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: there was nobody else I thought it could be. The
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: next week went by without any problems as well, though
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I made sure all the windows were locked every night.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: One morning, though, I woke up to the sound of
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: movement outside my bedroom window. It sounded like an animal
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: moving around in a bush, though my immediate thought was
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of that man I'd seen peering through the windows last week.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I jumped out of bed and put some clothes on.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: The blinds were covering the windows, so I knew nobody
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: could see anything, but now I felt the need to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: see for myself if somebody was there or not.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to call.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: The police again just because a squirrel was hanging out
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: in a bush, so I pulled the blinds open.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Nothing. I leaned my head closer to.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: The window so I could see down the side of
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the house, and still nobody was there. I sighed immediately,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: feeling safer, and continued about my morning as usual, then
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: went off to work, getting home rather late again. I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: was exhausted and cooked up a small dinner, then watched
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a bit of TV before deciding to go to bed early.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I got up and walked down the hallway toward my bedroom,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: but in the corner of my eye I saw something horrifying.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: The window was open, just a small crack at the bottom,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: but I knew I had kept it locked, so either
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: way someone had broken it. I walked over and looked
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: at it from up close, then pushed it shut. The
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: latch that was used to lock it was gone, as
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: if it had been ripped away. I felt trapped and scared,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: like I wasn't even in my own home anymore. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: knew I had to call the police, but I began
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: to fear, making noise as the possibility of someone being
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: in my house became more prevalent in my mind. I
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: was just standing there for I don't know how long,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: listening to the silence of the house, before the sharp,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: sudden sound of my phone beeping made me shiver. I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: pulled it out of my pocket quickly, and immediately my
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: stomach dropped. It was a text for my ex asking
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: how I was doing. I stared at it, just in
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: shock and trying to piece it together.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: In my mind.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Was this just a huge coincidence or was it not
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: a coincidence at all? Was he watching me right now?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Fear was taking over my body. I looked around frantically,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: shoving myself in a corner of the room so nobody
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: could sneak up behind me. Then another text came in.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: He said, we need to talk.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: I was trying to hold in my tears as I
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: turned my phone on silent. I started making my way
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: slowly to the front door. As I approached, I turned
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the knob and tried to open it quietly, though it
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: made a rather loud creak. Immediately, a loud thump came
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: from behind the door to my bedroom. I threw the
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: front door open and sprinted outside and down the road.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I hit on the side of a neighbor's house and
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: called the police. They actually made it pretty quickly, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I walked over to my driveway when they arrived. After
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: two officers went in, they came out a minute later,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: holding my ex and dragging him into their car. He
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: was pleading, saying he just wanted to talk to me
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and that he knew what he was doing was wrong,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: but he wasn't going to do anything other than talk
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: to me. Unsurprisingly, though, he had a knife shoved in
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: his pocket.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: That was hopefully the.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Last time I'll ever see or hear from him again. Obviously,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that he just wanted to talk, but
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: that was the story he stuck with, so I'll never
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: know what he was actually trying to do.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: But him waiting in my bedroom.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Like that with a knife, I know I was lucky
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: to get out as safely as I did. A lot
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: of people have ex boyfriend or girlfriend's stories, but mine
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: was actually just a friend. I'm going to call him
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Brian to keep everything private. We had met my junior
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: year of high school through a mutual friend and had
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: become pretty close relatively fast. We didn't go to the
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: same school, as he lived about a half hour away
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: from me, but we hung out every weekend, got food,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: drove around and just talked. Sometimes we'd go to concerts
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and parties together too. I'd say we were each other's
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: best friend for a really long time. He's always been
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: a bit weird, though. He'd text me all the time,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: and I mean sometimes six or seven times in a
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: row if I didn't respond quick enough. But I knew
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: he had a lot going on in life, or so
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I thought. Me and the mutual friend who introduced us
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: while call Holly, were talking one night, and she said
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: she thought he might have been lying about some pretty
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: serious stuff.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: He had told both of.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Us when we first met that his sister had cancer,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: but when him and Holly hung out and it was
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: brought up, his story was different. When Holly told me this,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: we decided to look through his mom's Facebook, who I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: just recently added, and she posts basically everything. We couldn't
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: find anything and something that big definitely would have been posted.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I've never met his sister since we never really hung
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: out at his house, but I didn't find that weird
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: because I didn't want anyone at my house either. While
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: talking about this, we both shared other things that seemed
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: a bit off to us, such as him saying that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: he might have cancer, or that he was in the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: hospital for a very serious reason but then would be
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: completely fine just a few hours later. After going through
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: everything with each other, we couldn't believe how much of
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: a liar he was. I felt heartbroken that someone I
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: called my best friend would lie about such awful things.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: We agreed to talk to him about it, and afterwards
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: distance ourselves from him. I wanted to talk in person
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: about Holly had texted him first, and that's when I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: was bombarded with messages. It all started with him saying
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: he had a seizure, which after everything, I obviously didn't
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: really believe him. He called me so many times while I.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Was at work it got to be too much.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I decided to call Holly and see what was happening,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: and when I did, she said he also went crazy
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: on her. She ended up blocking his number.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Because it got so bad.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to just ghost him, but this behavior
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: was honestly disturbing. I decided to text him that I
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: didn't want to be friends with someone who lies, especially
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: about such sensitive stuff. After that, I didn't text him anymore.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't block him, though, I'm not sure why, but
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I just couldn't do it. I muted his notifications and calls,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and that was that. A few more days went by
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of more muted calls and texts, until my dad called me.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: He sounded really worried, asking if I was okay. I
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: said yeah, calmly, asking why. He said that Brian called
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: him and was asking about me, and apparently Brian told
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: him that some pretty serious stuff.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Happened to me.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I told him to block his number and don't answer
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: him anymore after explaining everything. It's even weirder because I
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: don't know how how he got my dad's number. Not
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: long after that, my brother also told me that Brian
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: messaged him on Instagram saying he was going to hurt
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: himself if I didn't answer him. He also texted one
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: of my best friends all the same thing to make
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: everything so much worse. He said he was going to
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: end himself the same way that my oldest brother had done,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and he knew that that was the last straw for me,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and I decided to text him one more time all
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: of my thoughts and feelings, and then I immediately blocked
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: him after it was delivered, I thought that was the end,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and for months it was until one day while I
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: was working, I saw him walk in through the front doors.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: My department was in the back of the store, so
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I could see everything. I slipped in the back and
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: told my manager. If anyone should ask, say that I
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: do not work there anymore. Lo and behold, he did
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: actually ask my manager I was there. I had to
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: be escorted out by a coworker the rest of the week,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: just to make sure he wasn't waiting in the parking
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: lot when I got out of work.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: There was one night about a month later where.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: His car was parked on the side of the street
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: by my house. When I got home from work, no
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: one else was home, so I went to a friend's
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: house for a few hours to be safe. I didn't
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: think he would actually hurt me. I just didn't want
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to talk to him though. While I didn't think he
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: would hurt me, I also felt like I didn't really
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: know who he truly was, which was scary. After that incident,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I called his mother and told her everything. I didn't
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: want him to stop by my house or my work anymore,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: and I didn't want to get the police involved. I
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: loved his family, which made the situation really difficult. To
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: this day, he makes fake accounts on sites to try
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and talk to me or requests to follow me. It
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: happens maybe twice a year. I know he's not mentally there,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: and I truly wish that he'd heal, but I want
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to share my story and let others know that your
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: friends can be just as toxic as any intimate partner
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: can be, and when people show you their true colors,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: try not to make excuses for them. Do what's best
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: for you and your mental health, and make sure to
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: keep yourself safe
