3 Unsettling True Dead-of-Night Horror Stories · Paranormal Activity

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I worked as a regular pizza delivery driver during my
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: later years of high school. Because of school, I'd always
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: worked the night shifts on Friday and Saturday. It was
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: a pretty laid back job, and for the most part
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: i'd just be driving or standing in the shop taking
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: orders on the phone. A couple of my friends worked
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: there too, so I always had someone to talk to. Anyways,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it was Friday night and i'd just gotten back from
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: my last break. The place closes at one am, so
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: we usually stop accepting orders around twelve, as we still
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: have the clean and everything before we leave. It was
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: eleven thirty, but I figured i'd get a head start
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: on the cleaning just to pass the time. Me and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: my other two friends were the only ones working that night,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and one was finishing up a delivery and the other
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: just went on break. After I got back, minutes into cleaning,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the phone started ringing, so I picked it up and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: asked how I could help them. There was an older
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: man on the line and he asked if we were
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: still open for deliveries. I told him yeah, but we
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: aren't taking any large orders. They said that was okay
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and asked for a regular pizza and gave me the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: address to deliver it to. About fifteen minutes later, the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: pizza was ready and I boxed it up and got
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: in my car. The address was a little more than
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: ten minutes away, and I was probably halfway there when
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I pulled up behind another car stopped at a stop
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: sign on an empty road. I waited for a few seconds,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: looking around to see why he was stopped for so long.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Then I honked my horn gently, assuming that he'd just
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: fallen asleep or something. The car still didn't move, so
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I started to pull around him, but of course, just
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: as I did that, he pressed on the gas and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: jolted forward down the road. I was a little bit annoyed,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: but I figured it was just some guy being a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: dick for fun, so I continued down the road. But
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a couple minutes later I passed that same car pulled
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: over on the side of the road with its headlights off.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I got a really uncomfortable feeling passing them, like something
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: didn't feel right about it. I checked my mirrors for
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the rest of the way to the house to make
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: sure he wasn't trying to follow me. Finally, I turned
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: down the addresses long driveway that went between a forest
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of trees. I pulled up to the front of the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: house and put the car and park. Then I made
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: sure I had everything and went up and knocked on
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the door. I waited a minute or two, and then
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: an old lady answered and asked me what I was doing.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I told her I was delivering a pizza here and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: recited the address to her that I was given. She
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: said that nobody here ordered a pizza, and I could
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: tell she felt bad for me. I just thanked her
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and went back to my car. This wasn't the most
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: uncommon thing that happened, as some people would do it
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: as a prank or just give the wrong address on accident.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I figured i'd get out of the ladies driveway then
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: call my friend to have them call the number back
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and confirm the address. So I started making my way
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: out of the driveway, but as I was making my
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: way down, bright headlights blinded my view from ahead of me.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: It was so bright I knew it had to be
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a car coming towards me, so I quickly pressed on
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the brakes. I waited for the car to turn off
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the lights or turn their car around, but after waiting
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: for a little bit, I figured they weren't going to move.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure exactly what to do, as I could
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: barely see, and I knew the driveway was thinned, so
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: there was no way I could get around them. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: decided to just wait and see what they do first,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: as I didn't really have any other options. A whole
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: minute went by of both of us just sitting there
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: before they turned their lights completely off. I waited for
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: my eyes to readjust to the darkness, then looked ahead
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to see where their car was, but I couldn't see it.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: I put the car back in drive and slowly began
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: making my way down, being cautious in case the other
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: car started coming down the driveway again. A few seconds later,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I see the car with all its headlights off parked
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the path. I recognized it as
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the same one that was parked at the stop sign.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I guess he had followed me without me noticing. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: couldn't see through the windows in the dark, so as
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I sat there, I started to get pretty anxious and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: worried that there could be multiple people in there with
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: bad intentions. Then the front driver door opened and a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: man got out and began making his way towards me.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Halfway to my car, he stopped and began waving at
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: me as if he wanted to to pull up next
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: to him. At this point, I'd be lying if I
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: didn't say that I was really starting to freak out.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I tried my best to pretend to be calm, though,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and rolled the car next to him. To my surprise,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: when I pulled up, he didn't say anything to me.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: He didn't even look at me as he started walking
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: around my car and eventually stopped right behind me by
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the trunk of my car. I looked in my rear
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: view mirror, trying to figure out what he was doing
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and why he was just standing there. A few moments
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: go by as I'm looking at this man, when I
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: suddenly come to a realization and turned my head around
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to the front. The other three doors of the car
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: swing open and three more men start sprinting towards my car.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: My adrenaline started pumping, and I stomped on the gas,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: flooring it and almost hitting one of the men. As
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I turned my car off the driveway, I swerve around
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: their car, nearly hitting several trees before me looking it
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: back onto the path and eventually out onto the main road.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: There was nobody else on the road at this time,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: so I could clearly see in my mirror when the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: car pulled out onto the road and started making its
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: way towards me. I figured they weren't going to stop
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: unless I could get somewhere that wasn't so isolated. But
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: after thirty seconds, the men turned down a side road.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I made it back to work and immediately told my
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: friends what happened. They both convinced me to call the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: police to at least report it, even though I wasn't
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: able to give much helpful information. An officer came down
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and I gave an official statement on the incident, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: then they left just before we closed. I was surprised
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to get a call the next day saying that three
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of the men had been arrested after attempting to rob
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: another car later that night in the same exact driveway
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: that I was in. The men were caught when the
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: lady called the police after having two more people trying
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to deliver food to her that she didn't order. I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: guess they were using that driveway to lord delivery drivers
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: in and rob them on the way out. Since it
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: was a narrow, isolated driveway surrounded by forest. Unfortunately, though,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the fourth man was able to run through the trees
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and make it out, and I never received any updates
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: on him in the following days, so I'm not sure
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: if he was ever found. The old lady said, though,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: that she was unaware and had never seen them in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the driveway before that night. It's pretty crazy that this
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: happened to me, but I'm also proud of myself for
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: how quickly I reacted and how I was able to
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: make it out unharmed. It definitely made my job more stressful, though,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: and soon after I was able to change my shifts
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to only working during the day on the weekends. I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: really hope that last guy got caught, though, because who
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: knows how many more people could be in those horrifying
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: situations due to his escape. I worked as a food
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: delivery driver during my first few years of college. Mainly
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I would drive for a DoorDash or Uber Eats. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: didn't like making small talk with strangers and didn't want
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: random people in my car, so I preferred delivering food
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: over being a normal Uber driver. I did this for
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: over a year with pretty much no issues, aside from
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the occasional customer mad that the restaurant messed up their order. Anyways,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: it was late Wednesday night and I didn't have any
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: classes in the morning, so I decided to make an
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: extra few bucks and deliver for a little bit. I
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: did four or five quick orders and ended up about
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: twenty minutes from my dorm. It was about one am now,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and I figured I should probably end it there and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: head back. The way the delivery apps work is pretty
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: much you just drive around and wait for a random
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: order to pop up, and then it'll give you an
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: estimate of how much you'll make and how far it is.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Then you either accept or decline it. On my way back,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I left the app running just in case there was
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: a really quick delivery nearby. I got a few requests,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: but they were a bit too far and didn't seem
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: worth it to me. But then another one popped up
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: just as I was pulling into my dorm. It was
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: about twelve miles away, but the payout was really big.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I'd never seen anyone offer that much money before. I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: gave us some thought as it was pretty far, but
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: it was too much money to pass up. I accepted
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the offer and started the directions to the restaurant. A
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: few minutes later, I arrived and pulled up their order
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: so I can make sure I picked up the right stuff.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: As I walked through the doors, I noticed the customer.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I'd only ordered two items and the total was only
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: over six dollars. It was really unusual, as typically the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: high paying orders are because of large deliveries of expensive food.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: This meant that they were just giving me a really
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: big tip. I got the food and went back to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the car. During the drive there, I was really just
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: trying to understand why they would give such a big
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: tip for such a small order. It was a little weird,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: but honestly, I just came to the conclusion that it
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: was either just a mistake or they were trying to
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: be kind. Although twelve miles wasn't too far from my campus,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I had actually never been to this area. It was
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: really nice, with mostly gated off neighborhood communities and huge houses. Luckily,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: their house wasn't gated and I was able to just
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: pull into the neighborhood. I looked at the homes as
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I passed by and realized that the tip money made
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: a lot more sense. Now. The street was long, though,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and I was just a couple minutes from the house.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: When the customer sent me a text through the app,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: they told me to make sure I delivered the food
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to the right address. When I pulled up, I figured
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: maybe the map showed his neighbor's house or something, so
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: when I arrived, I sent him a text with a
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: description of the house and asked if that was the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: right one. He replied no, and I waited for a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: little bit, expecting him to describe his house for me,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: but he never did. I sent him another text describing
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: his neighbor's house, to which he replied no again. I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: was starting to get pretty annoyed with this guy and
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: tried calling him instead, but he refused the answer. He
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: would ring a few times and then he'd declined the call.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I looked at the address again and then copy and
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: pasted it into Google to try and look it up there.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Doing this, I actually noticed that the number for the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: address wasn't a regular number. It had a subset of
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: numbers on it. I'd never seen this before and wasn't
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: even sure what it meant, so I searched the address
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: on Google and looked at the results. When I zoomed
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: in on the map, I saw that the address actually
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: pointed to a spot right in between the two houses.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Zooming in further, it looked like there was a really
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: small garage or maybe even a shed. It was barely visible.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I looked up from my phone and moved my eyes
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: to between the two houses, and sure enough, there was
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a small garage like structure. It was just a few
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: feet from the main house that my delivery app brought
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: me to. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect or
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: why someone would even live there, but I already came
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: this far, so I wasn't about to walk away now,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: so I got out and started heading over. As I
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: walked up the driveway, I could clearly see what the
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: place was. It was pretty much just a large storage garage,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: probably meant for keeping an old car or something. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: didn't see any normal door, though, so I put the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: bag down by the garage door. As I began taking
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: my phone out to take a picture for the app,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: a man came around the right side of the garage.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I looked over at him and he just stood still
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: staring at me. The guy was really creeping me out,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: so I said, it's right here for you, sir, as
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I pointed at the bag and slowly started walking away.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Then he replied, telling me that this wasn't where he
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: wanted me to drop it off. I turned around and
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: noticed that he was still standing in the same spot. Sorry,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: where did you want me to put it? I said,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: starting to get really uneasy about the situation. He pointed
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: around the back of the garage and said that the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: door was over there. At that point, there was no
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: way I was going to follow that guy to wherever
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: he was trying to get me to go. I just
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: kind of stood there for a moment, then said sorry
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and quickly walked back to my car. I looked over
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: one more time before driving away, and the man was
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: walking back behind the garage, but he left the bag
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of food. I got out of there and drove back
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to my dorm, shaking the whole way back. Something about
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that whole thing felt very off, and the fact that
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: it was in a really nice neighborhood made me even
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: more confused. The more I thought about it, though, I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: realized just how strange it was that he needed to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: specify for me not to deliver to the main house,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and that he refused to take the food unless I
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: followed him to behind the garage. I'd never had to
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: call the police before in my whole life, and I
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: ended up not calling them this time either, as I
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: really wasn't sure if maybe he was just some weird,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: harmless guy. Anyways, it freaked me out for a few days,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: but eventually I got over it and continued doing deliveries
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: in my spare time. Nothing else happened, though. A couple
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: weeks later, I had another big order pop up on
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: my app and the area of delivery was the same.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I obviously declined it, but I couldn't help but think
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: about whoever ended up accepting that order and what happened
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: to them during their delivery. It was the beginning of
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: fall and I worked as a cashier at a small
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: store near my apartment. My usual shift ended at nine pm,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and then i'd usually go do food deliveries for a
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: couple of hours before heading home. I actually enjoyed doing
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: deliveries at night, as the roads weren't busy and most
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: other delivery drivers would work during the day and would
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: take all the orders, so I'd actually get more orders
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to do at night. Anyways, I had just gotten out
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: of work and set up my app to get ready
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to do some deliveries. The first one that came in
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: was quick and only took about fifteen minutes. Then I
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: waited for a few minutes before the next order came in.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: It was a good payout and the delivery address was
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: twenty minutes away from where I was. I headed over
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to the fast food restaurant to pick up their food,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: then started making my way over to the house. The
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: town I live in isn't too big and has a
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: lot of empty plots of land. There's the main center
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: of town, which is where my apartment is and most
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: of the restaurants. Then about ten minutes out there's a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: lot of farm land and the houses are much more
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: spread out. Almost all of the deliveries I get are
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: within the town area, but every once in a while
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I'll get a delivery further out into the farm area.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I assumed this was going to be a farmhouse since
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: it was twenty minutes away. However, the app said that
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the address was located in a small neighborhood area just
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: off of a small highway. I didn't like delivering to
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: isolated farmhouses at night, as it just kind of creeped
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: me out, so I was happy to be delivering to
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a neighborhood home. Once I got off the highway, I
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: turned left and started making my way down the road
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: toward the neighborhood. But almost immediately I got a call
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: from an unknown number. I declined it as I thought
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: it was just a scam, but just a few seconds
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: later they called again. Figuring it was probably the customer,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I accepted it. Hello, I asked. A few seconds went
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: by with no response, so I just hung up, but
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: then again, just a few moments later, the same number
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: called me. I answered, and almost imediately a guy speaks
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and tells me I turned the wrong way. I asked
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: him what he meant, as I had the map up
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and it says that I'm going the right way, But
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: he said his address gets messed up on the delivery
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: app and that he always has to call and let
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the drivers know where to go. I said okay, and
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: asked him how to get there. He told me that
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: when I got off the highway, I needed to take
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a right from that road, then take the third left.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: He mentioned it was a gravel path that led to
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: his farmhouse at the end. I told him i'd be
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: there in a few minutes and turn the car around.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: I've had multiple customers call me before to tell me
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that the address was a little off or to give
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: me directions on unnamed roads, as it was pretty common
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: out here, so I honestly didn't think much of it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I passed the highway that I turned off of and
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: continued until I found the third left and turned onto
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the gravel path. The path went into a small forest
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: of trees, and it was it's really dark again. I
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: didn't like these areas at night, so I was definitely
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: a little nervous driving down this isolated gravel road. Once
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I started getting nervous, I began thinking about how strange
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: it was that the map had taken me so far
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: in the opposite direction of the house that the man
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: claims is his actual address. I tried to bury those thoughts,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: assuring myself that I was just overthinking it because I
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: was nervous. A couple minutes past, though, and there was
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: still no house in sight. At this point, I wasn't
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: even sure if I had turned down the right path,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: but the trees were too close to the sides, so
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't have much room to turn around. Anyways, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: figured i'd continue down to the end, then called to
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: ask if I had the right place and turn around
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: there if not. Another minute or two went by before
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I finally reached the end as it merged into a
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: small circle driveway next to a house. I drove up
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: to the that led to the front door and parked
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the car next to a four sale sign that was
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: put up in the front of the house. Seeing that,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure if I had the right house, but
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I looked over at the front door and it was open,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: and I could see someone further back wave at me.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Figuring I was good, I grabbed the bag and started
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: making my way over to the door. As I stepped
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: onto the porch and began putting the bag down, I
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: saw the man again down the hallway that led to
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: the kitchen. He politely asked me if I could set
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the food down on the kitchen counter, then quickly walked
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: away as if he was in a rush, and then
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I heard him turn the sink on in the kitchen hesitantly.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I took a step into the house and looked around.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: It was decorated with old furniture and accessories, but it
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: almost looked like it was completely unused. I quickly made
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: my way down the hall and into the kitchen, But
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: as soon as I got there, I noticed that the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: sink was still running, but the man was nowhere in sight.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: This made chills run down my body, and I quickly
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: set the bag down on the counter and got out
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: of there as quick as I could. I could hear
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the man yell something from the front door as I
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: got back in my car, but I couldn't understand what
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: he said. I put the car in drive and went
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: back out the way I came. I didn't stop driving
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: until I got to the parking lot of my apartment.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Then I pulled my phone out and saw multiple missed
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: calls from that same number. I blocked the number, then
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: opened the delivery app so I could end my deliveries
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: for the night. But that's when I noticed that I
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: had messages from the customer through the app telling me
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: that I had turned the wrong way and that I
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: was at the wrong house. I went into shock for
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: a moment, realizing that the man that had called me
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: wasn't my actual customer and the house I was in
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: was just some stranger's house. I called the police immediately
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and reported everything to them. An officer came to my
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: apartment to go over more details. Soon after, I had
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: no idea how this man could have known that I
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: was doing a delivery and had been able to see
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: my location. The officer said that my phone had likely
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: been hacked and that the man was probably monitoring everything
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that I was doing. Hearing this made me really uncomfortable,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: as if all that wasn't bad enough. The next day,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I was informed that the house I was at was
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: actually vacant, as it was for sale by the owners
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: who had moved out months ago. The man had apparently
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: gotten in through an unlocked window in one of the rooms.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: As of right now, they still haven't found anything significant
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: that could lead to finding the man, which makes me
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: feel really unsafe. I don't know for sure what the
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: man was trying to do, but I think it's a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: pretty good assumption that he was probably planning on kidnapping me,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: or maybe even worse. I try not to think about
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: it too much, but I can't help but go over
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: all the horrible things that could have happened happened on
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: that night.
