Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This happened in Antioch, California. It was around 2 a.m.
- 0:06Speaker 1: I was at a friend's house, safe in warm, sheltered suburbia.
- 0:11Speaker 1: We were having a lot to drink, chit-chatting, enjoying ourselves.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Of course, when you're having fun, time hits the fast-forward button,
- 0:21Speaker 1: and those few minutes turn into an hour. I had
- 0:25Speaker 1: too much to drink. My friend has a bit of
- 0:28Speaker 1: an abrupt bedtime. so I had to dodge out early,
- 0:31Speaker 1: still intoxicated. I felt too shameful thinking I would be
- 0:35Speaker 1: asking too much to stay in his house, to sleep
- 0:38Speaker 1: off the drunkenness. I suppose he was either too rude
- 0:42Speaker 1: or too drunk to consider it himself. Whatever. Sometimes a
- 0:47Speaker 1: little inconvenience makes you appreciate everything else. I needed about
- 0:52Speaker 1: another hour or so to sober up and drive back.
- 0:56Speaker 1: As fast as time passed during my stay, it decided
- 1:00Speaker 1: to drastically slow down as soon as I stepped out
- 1:03Speaker 1: of his house. It was a cul-de-sac area, a concrete
- 1:07Speaker 1: jungle with the stem of the street breaking into a fork.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Alongside the road, my car was parked. The only street
- 1:15Speaker 1: light that worked was in the middle of the cul-de-sac circle,
- 1:18Speaker 1: about 80 yards away. I stumbled towards my car, produced
- 1:23Speaker 1: my keys, felt the metal line up, opened my door
- 1:27Speaker 1: and shifted to the back seat. Because this was a dark, strange,
- 1:32Speaker 1: and unfamiliar neighborhood, I took the leftover newspapers and a
- 1:36Speaker 1: sweater in my backseat to cover myself up. I wanted
- 1:40Speaker 1: to camouflage myself and not just be some guy awkwardly
- 1:44Speaker 1: sitting in his car, waiting for time to pass in
- 1:47Speaker 1: order to drive home. I couldn't fall asleep. The uncomfortable
- 1:52Speaker 1: feeling of a cheap backseat bed enshrouded in darkness didn't
- 1:56Speaker 1: make the chance of slumber easier. It felt too ominous,
- 2:01Speaker 1: and of course my mind began to wander. I thought
- 2:05Speaker 1: of worst-case scenarios, like how the police would shine their
- 2:09Speaker 1: lights on me through the window, or a drunk driver
- 2:12Speaker 1: hitting my car, and... Wait. In the distance, about 100
- 2:20Speaker 1: yards away, I could hear footsteps approaching. The gravel scuffed
- 2:27Speaker 1: with each step forward. growing in proximity, but periodically taking stops.
- 2:34Speaker 1: I wondered why until it made sense in my mind.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Whoever it was was probably looking through cars carefully with
- 2:42Speaker 1: the intent to steal one. I couldn't recall how many
- 2:46Speaker 1: cars were on the block, but I counted three full
- 2:49Speaker 1: stops until he was at my window, breathing. I froze.
- 2:55Speaker 1: There was no more than one foot between us The
- 2:59Speaker 1: car encapsulated me as I lay hidden beneath backseat clutter,
- 3:04Speaker 1: forming myself into an object, trying my hardest to be unnoticeable, unmoving,
- 3:11Speaker 1: and simply not there. I see you, said a 40
- 3:21Speaker 1: plus year old man in a perverse baby talk. Imagine
- 3:27Speaker 1: when you were playing hide and seek and one of
- 3:29Speaker 1: your friends tricks you into coming out. He said it
- 3:32Speaker 1: in that tone of voice, as if baiting me, like
- 3:36Speaker 1: he was questioning whether the clutter in the backseat was
- 3:39Speaker 1: just clutter, or a person. I did not want to
- 3:43Speaker 1: move or check the window. I remained clutter. Give me
- 3:49Speaker 1: an academy award. My body reacted by minimizing my breathing
- 3:54Speaker 1: so much that I felt paralyzed. I dare not look.
- 3:59Speaker 1: My eyes fixated on the back of the passenger seat.
- 4:03Speaker 1: I did not blink. I did not move. I did
- 4:07Speaker 1: not breathe. My heart was pounding so hard it shook
- 4:11Speaker 1: my body with each throb. He circled around the car.
- 4:16Speaker 1: My ears didn't fail me. I heard the steps. I
- 4:20Speaker 1: felt like I was part of the car. I could
- 4:23Speaker 1: feel him touching the trunk as he carefully pressed down
- 4:26Speaker 1: on it, as if to test the alarm. as if
- 4:30Speaker 1: to test me. I was in the middle of fight
- 4:33Speaker 1: or flight. I couldn't do either without elevating danger. I
- 4:38Speaker 1: was frozen, and hoping that he was bluffing. He circled
- 4:43Speaker 1: the car again. The door handle to my right jiggled.
- 4:48Speaker 1: He was pulling it multiple times. I see you. Same tone.
- 4:57Speaker 1: But more agitated and stressed. More convinced that he was
- 5:01Speaker 1: trying to make that clutter move. Revealing itself to be
- 5:05Speaker 1: of his expectations. That it was me. My muscles tensed
- 5:10Speaker 1: like a cow before slaughter. Tap, tap, tap. That had
- 5:17Speaker 1: to be metal against glass. Take a penny right now
- 5:21Speaker 1: and tap your window. A crowbar.
- 5:25Speaker 2: A knife.
- 5:26Speaker 1: A rock. My eyes fixated on the seat in front
- 5:29Speaker 1: of me, never averting my gaze, like he was. I
- 5:34Speaker 1: was covered enough to where I couldn't see beyond the
- 5:36Speaker 1: seat in front of me. I know I couldn't see him,
- 5:40Speaker 1: but I could feel his eyes resting on top of me.
- 5:45Speaker 1: My name is Poker Face. What's your name? The voice
- 5:52Speaker 1: changed in a lower, demented, and serious tone. My mind
- 5:57Speaker 1: forced a visual. It wasn't anything human. I already accepted
- 6:03Speaker 1: my death. I was ready to be shot in the head,
- 6:08Speaker 1: ready to take a life-changing bullet, multiple knife wounds. Just
- 6:13Speaker 1: make this sleep bearable, not excruciating, as you drain me
- 6:18Speaker 1: of life. I wouldn't know how to react. My thoughts
- 6:23Speaker 1: grew dimmer. I imagined my friend waking up the next
- 6:27Speaker 1: morning after a calm night of safe and sound sleep,
- 6:31Speaker 1: only to discover my mutilated, defiled, and bloodied body hanging
- 6:36Speaker 1: outside my car door. It was then I heard nothing
- 6:40Speaker 1: but my own heart. What was this person doing now?
- 6:45Speaker 1: Just staring at me in the middle of the night?
- 6:49Speaker 1: Talking to me? Or a messy pile in the back seat?
- 6:54Speaker 1: time froze the footsteps were being swallowed in the distance
- 7:00Speaker 1: he left i waited another hour until the sun showed
- 7:05Speaker 1: hints of itself i jumped in my front seat and
- 7:09Speaker 1: bolted out of there wide-eyed and sober so this happened
- 7:20Speaker 1: to my family in early 2002 when my daughter was
- 7:23Speaker 1: a baby My wife and I moved into a new
- 7:26Speaker 1: house right after our daughter was born. It was a
- 7:30Speaker 1: nice place in the suburbs. I would rather not mention
- 7:33Speaker 1: in what city. The house was relatively new and surrounded
- 7:37Speaker 1: by other houses with the same exact design and layout.
- 7:41Speaker 1: We were still getting used to our new life there
- 7:44Speaker 1: with our new baby when one night we heard the
- 7:47Speaker 1: baby crying on the baby monitor. We were watching a
- 7:51Speaker 1: movie in the living room, paused it, and went into
- 7:54Speaker 1: the baby's room. The baby wanted her bottle. I stood
- 7:59Speaker 1: in the doorway of the room while my wife tended
- 8:01Speaker 1: to our newborn. I was smiling at the sight of
- 8:04Speaker 1: this when suddenly my wife made a small sound of
- 8:08Speaker 1: fear and surprise. She was looking out the window directly
- 8:12Speaker 1: beside the crib. I walked over to her and she
- 8:16Speaker 1: didn't say anything. I looked outside and saw a woman
- 8:20Speaker 1: that looked to be about our age, standing on our
- 8:23Speaker 1: lawn and looking into the bedroom window. I went into
- 8:27Speaker 1: protective mode and immediately walked out of the room and
- 8:30Speaker 1: towards the front door with the intention of confronting her.
- 8:34Speaker 1: My wife shouted before I could open the door. She
- 8:37Speaker 1: ran away! I ripped the door open and walked outside.
- 8:41Speaker 1: I looked around the front of our house and walked
- 8:44Speaker 1: a bit further onto the street, looking in both directions.
- 8:48Speaker 1: No sign of her, I decided to walk around the
- 8:51Speaker 1: whole exterior of my house to make sure this creepy
- 8:54Speaker 1: lady had really left. I walked the perimeter of our
- 8:58Speaker 1: house and didn't find her anywhere. I returned to my
- 9:01Speaker 1: house to find my wife still holding the baby in
- 9:04Speaker 1: our master bedroom, and I told my wife that I
- 9:07Speaker 1: did not find her. After a little while of being
- 9:10Speaker 1: creeped out and looking out the windows to make sure
- 9:12Speaker 1: she wasn't still lingering around, we decided she was gone
- 9:16Speaker 1: for good and went to sleep. The next day, we
- 9:20Speaker 1: saw the woman again, this time at night. And this time,
- 9:26Speaker 1: my wife was in the shower and I was holding
- 9:28Speaker 1: our baby in her bedroom. I saw the woman standing
- 9:32Speaker 1: in the same spot on our lawn, peering into the
- 9:36Speaker 1: bedroom at me holding my baby. I just looked at
- 9:39Speaker 1: her for the longest time and she didn't move. My
- 9:44Speaker 1: wife eventually walked into the room with a towel in
- 9:46Speaker 1: her hair and approached me from behind, giving me a hug.
- 9:51Speaker 1: I said, she's back.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Look.
- 9:55Speaker 1: She's just standing there. My wife got incredibly creeped out
- 9:59Speaker 1: at this point and insisted that we call the police
- 10:03Speaker 1: I was going to but felt I wanted to confront
- 10:06Speaker 1: her again so I walked out of the room and
- 10:08Speaker 1: opened up the front door which was only about 10
- 10:11Speaker 1: feet away from the baby's room I walked outside and
- 10:15Speaker 1: the woman was still there she turned to me I
- 10:20Speaker 1: walked onto our lawn about 20 feet away from her
- 10:22Speaker 1: and said, What are you doing? If you don't leave
- 10:26Speaker 1: right now, I'm calling the cops. If I ever see
- 10:29Speaker 1: you around here again, I will call them immediately. The
- 10:33Speaker 1: woman smiled at me and then opened her mouth wide
- 10:37Speaker 1: and let out a nightmare-inducing scream that sounded as if
- 10:43Speaker 1: she was in pain. I knew right away that this
- 10:47Speaker 1: woman was ill. like in the head. She turned around
- 10:52Speaker 1: and ran away. This was terrifying, as I realized she
- 10:57Speaker 1: was barefoot. She ran away like a little kid would,
- 11:02Speaker 1: arms flailing. I went inside and my wife was already
- 11:06Speaker 1: holding the phone. A couple police officers came by the
- 11:10Speaker 1: house a short while later, and they said there was
- 11:13Speaker 1: really nothing they could do except drive around the neighborhood
- 11:15Speaker 1: a few times and keep an eye out for her.
- 11:19Speaker 1: They said they would call us if they did see her.
- 11:22Speaker 1: About 20 minutes after they left, they called and said
- 11:26Speaker 1: they didn't see anyone fitting her description. We were disappointed,
- 11:31Speaker 1: but eventually fell asleep. After taking turns looking out the
- 11:36Speaker 1: windows for hours, I had assumed the woman got the hint.
- 11:41Speaker 1: A month had passed with no sign of her. Then
- 11:45Speaker 1: one night, my wife and I were in bed, when
- 11:48Speaker 1: I heard a noise. I awoke and glanced at the
- 11:52Speaker 1: alarm clock. It read 3.32 a.m. I listened for the
- 11:58Speaker 1: noise to continue and heard giggling coming from the baby monitor.
- 12:04Speaker 1: I sat up in bed and my heart stopped. I
- 12:07Speaker 1: flew out of the room and into my baby's room
- 12:10Speaker 1: to see nothing. My baby was asleep and my wife
- 12:15Speaker 1: had followed me. I was very confused for a moment
- 12:19Speaker 1: and thought I didn't actually hear anything. Maybe it was
- 12:23Speaker 1: just a nightmare. My wife asked what was wrong. I
- 12:28Speaker 1: didn't respond for a few seconds and then finally said, Nothing.
- 12:34Speaker 1: I thought I heard something. We both sighed and walked
- 12:38Speaker 1: back into our room. My wife went into the room
- 12:41Speaker 1: first and upon entering, screamed and then threw herself backwards
- 12:46Speaker 1: into me I gasped and almost fell backwards onto the floor.
- 12:51Speaker 1: My wife started repeating, Oh my God, oh my God,
- 12:54Speaker 1: oh my God. My heart pounding, I replied, What?
- 12:58Speaker 2: What?
- 12:59Speaker 1: I forced my way past her and walked into my bedroom.
- 13:02Speaker 1: The woman was sitting Indian style on our bed. I
- 13:07Speaker 1: backed up out of the room and slammed the door.
- 13:09Speaker 1: My wife ran and took our baby from her crib,
- 13:12Speaker 1: and the three of us went outside. As I was
- 13:15Speaker 1: closing the front door, once we had walked out, I
- 13:18Speaker 1: heard our master bedroom door open. Neither of us had
- 13:21Speaker 1: our cell phones on us, so we ran to our
- 13:24Speaker 1: neighbor's house and started frantically knocking on their front door.
- 13:28Speaker 1: They answered very quickly and asked what the matter was.
- 13:31Speaker 1: We explained and they ushered us inside and called the police.
- 13:36Speaker 1: The cops showed up shortly after and they went inside
- 13:39Speaker 1: our house. The woman was still there. They said they
- 13:44Speaker 1: found her upstairs. sitting in the middle of the hallway,
- 13:49Speaker 1: in the dark. I have a story I'd like to
- 13:57Speaker 1: tell you all. This happened when I was 18, about
- 14:00Speaker 1: 16 years ago. I was still living with my parents
- 14:04Speaker 1: in their nice house in suburban Colorado. It was getting
- 14:08Speaker 1: late one night, around 11.30 p.m., I was on the
- 14:12Speaker 1: phone with my girlfriend and had decided to go up
- 14:14Speaker 1: to my room and switch phones using the one that
- 14:17Speaker 1: was in my room so that I didn't wake my
- 14:20Speaker 1: parents that I now assumed were in bed. Voices downstairs
- 14:24Speaker 1: echoed upstairs easily and I had gotten in trouble for
- 14:27Speaker 1: that a few times before. I told my girlfriend to
- 14:31Speaker 1: hang on that I was going to put the phone
- 14:33Speaker 1: down for a minute while I went upstairs to turn
- 14:35Speaker 1: on my phone. I set the phone down on the
- 14:38Speaker 1: counter right next to where it gets hung up on
- 14:40Speaker 1: the wall I quickly walked upstairs and into my bedroom.
- 14:45Speaker 1: My room was cold. I left the window open. I
- 14:50Speaker 1: slammed my window shut and picked up the phone next
- 14:52Speaker 1: to my bed. Alright babe, one sec. I'm gonna go
- 14:55Speaker 1: downstairs real fast and hang up the living room phone.
- 14:58Speaker 1: I set the phone down on my bed and went downstairs.
- 15:02Speaker 1: I reached the last step, turned left, and stopped. The
- 15:07Speaker 1: phone was now hung up on the wall. I stood there, bewildered.
- 15:11Speaker 1: for about 30 seconds, a bit creeped out, but mostly confused.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Maybe my parents came down and hung it up? No,
- 15:21Speaker 1: that wasn't possible. I would have heard them, and I
- 15:24Speaker 1: was only upstairs for about 30 seconds. I walked over
- 15:28Speaker 1: to the phone and then turned around looking around the
- 15:31Speaker 1: living room and into the kitchen. Nothing. No sign of
- 15:35Speaker 1: my parents. Nobody else was in my house that night.
- 15:39Speaker 1: I convinced myself that I must have hung it up
- 15:41Speaker 1: before I went upstairs. Wait, no, that's not possible. Then
- 15:47Speaker 1: I would have hung up on my girlfriend. I walked
- 15:50Speaker 1: into the dining room and nobody was there. I walked
- 15:53Speaker 1: back upstairs and over to my parents' bedroom. I pressed
- 15:57Speaker 1: my ear to the door and could hear my dad snoring.
- 16:02Speaker 1: What is going on? I walked into my bedroom and
- 16:05Speaker 1: almost had a heart attack when I saw that my
- 16:08Speaker 1: bedroom phone was now hung up I turned around fast
- 16:11Speaker 1: to the dark hallway. Nobody. I ran downstairs into my horror.
- 16:16Speaker 1: I saw the phone in the living room was now gone.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I got goosebumps all over and my heart was now
- 16:23Speaker 1: pounding in my chest. I ran back upstairs and into
- 16:27Speaker 1: my room. I ripped open my closet, but nobody was there.
- 16:32Speaker 1: I walked over to my phone and picked it up.
- 16:34Speaker 1: As soon as I did this, I heard somebody say,
- 16:38Speaker 1: I came in through your bedroom window. I almost dropped
- 16:43Speaker 1: the phone out of fright and thought, that's impossible. My
- 16:47Speaker 1: bedroom is on the second story. I turned around again
- 16:50Speaker 1: expecting to see someone, but did not. I turned and
- 16:54Speaker 1: opened my window. I looked outside and saw a large
- 16:58Speaker 1: extension ladder there, leaning on my house, just below the
- 17:02Speaker 1: bottom of my window. I dropped the phone on the
- 17:04Speaker 1: ground and ran to my parents' room. I slammed against
- 17:08Speaker 1: their door with fists and yelled, Open the door! There's
- 17:11Speaker 1: somebody in the house! My mom opened up and was confused,
- 17:16Speaker 1: with a terrified look on her face. I went into
- 17:18Speaker 1: their room and my dad was sitting up in bed.
- 17:21Speaker 1: I locked their bedroom door and repeated myself, There is
- 17:25Speaker 1: someone in here! They have the phone! They just said
- 17:28Speaker 1: something to me! My mom ran to my dad's side
- 17:31Speaker 1: of the bed and grabbed his work cell phone that
- 17:33Speaker 1: was still in his jeans pocket. She called the police
- 17:36Speaker 1: and they were at our front door knocking around 15
- 17:39Speaker 1: minutes later. They searched the house and found no one.
- 17:44Speaker 1: They did find the living room phone though. It was
- 17:48Speaker 1: lying in the middle of the grass in our backyard.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Something very creepy happened to me on Christmas. I had
- 18:04Speaker 1: celebrated the holiday that morning with my family and went
- 18:08Speaker 1: to see my parents. On Christmas night, I had to
- 18:11Speaker 1: go into work to finish a proposal I was working
- 18:14Speaker 1: on for a new potential client. I obviously didn't want
- 18:17Speaker 1: to go into work, but it had to be finished.
- 18:21Speaker 1: My work was in a building downtown that is fairly
- 18:24Speaker 1: close to a few nightclubs and bars. My office is
- 18:27Speaker 1: on the 23rd floor, and in my position, I have
- 18:30Speaker 1: an office... but most of this floor is filled up
- 18:33Speaker 1: with cubicles in the middle. My office is in the
- 18:36Speaker 1: far corner next to my boss's office, so to get
- 18:39Speaker 1: to my office I have to walk by all the cubicles.
- 18:43Speaker 1: I didn't get there late, probably around 8 or 9,
- 18:47Speaker 1: but there was nobody else there. This was my second
- 18:50Speaker 1: time going in alone, and it was peaceful. If I
- 18:54Speaker 1: let my imagination run wild, however, I would get spooked easily.
- 19:01Speaker 1: As I walked the path next to the cubicles, I
- 19:03Speaker 1: was reminded of what I was missing at home. While
- 19:07Speaker 1: looking at all the Christmas lights strung up, decorating people's workspaces.
- 19:12Speaker 1: There were no lights on, but it was lit up
- 19:15Speaker 1: enough by all these Christmas lights. I reached my office
- 19:18Speaker 1: and unlocked it. I went inside, but didn't close the door.
- 19:24Speaker 1: My computer and desk faced away from my door so
- 19:26Speaker 1: I couldn't see anyone that approached my door on work
- 19:29Speaker 1: days through the huge glass window that I had. I
- 19:33Speaker 1: found this annoying as I never knew who was knocking
- 19:36Speaker 1: until I got up and opened the door. I sat
- 19:39Speaker 1: down and began working as quickly as possible so I
- 19:42Speaker 1: could get back home. After a while, I'd say about
- 19:45Speaker 1: an hour into it, I heard the main entrance door close.
- 19:51Speaker 1: I didn't hear it open, but when it closed it
- 19:53Speaker 1: made a noise that was unmistakable. I wasn't spooked at
- 19:58Speaker 1: this point, just curious as to who else was unlucky
- 20:01Speaker 1: enough to have to come in and finish something. I
- 20:04Speaker 1: got up from my desk and walked out onto the floor.
- 20:07Speaker 1: I looked around but didn't see anybody. I said loudly, Hello?
- 20:14Speaker 1: Nobody responded. At this moment I got paranoid and freaked
- 20:19Speaker 1: out a little bit because I definitely heard the main
- 20:22Speaker 1: entrance door close. Somebody was either here and then left
- 20:27Speaker 1: or was still in here and not responding to me.
- 20:31Speaker 1: I was just about to turn around and get back
- 20:34Speaker 1: to work when I saw a head sticking up out
- 20:37Speaker 1: of a cubicle on the opposite side of the floor,
- 20:40Speaker 1: looking towards me. I could see that it was a man,
- 20:44Speaker 1: but I couldn't make out any details of his face.
- 20:48Speaker 1: I thought he must be messing with me, so I
- 20:50Speaker 1: shouted over to him. What a time to have to
- 20:53Speaker 1: come in, huh? Hoping whoever it was would stand up
- 20:57Speaker 1: and laugh. But they didn't. The man didn't move. And
- 21:02Speaker 1: this really scared me. So I tried again and said,
- 21:07Speaker 1: I can see you guy he didn't move I wasn't
- 21:11Speaker 1: sure what to do next and was now very on
- 21:15Speaker 1: edge so I felt through my pocket for my keys
- 21:18Speaker 1: and they were there I started walking down the path
- 21:21Speaker 1: towards the entrance door the whole time watching this guy
- 21:26Speaker 1: as I was walking he just watched me I looked
- 21:31Speaker 1: over at the entrance door for a second just one
- 21:35Speaker 1: second and looked back He was gone. After seeing this,
- 21:40Speaker 1: I thought, oh my gosh, he could be moving over
- 21:44Speaker 1: to me. So I jogged the rest of the way
- 21:47Speaker 1: to the door and went through it. I jogged over
- 21:50Speaker 1: to the elevator and hit the button. I turned around
- 21:53Speaker 1: quickly and the door closed as it made the same
- 21:56Speaker 1: noise as before. The door thankfully opened immediately and I
- 22:00Speaker 1: went inside and hit the first floor button. The door
- 22:03Speaker 1: closed and I did not see the guy come out
- 22:06Speaker 1: that door. I drove home and told my wife what happened.
- 22:11Speaker 1: I had to call my boss and tell him as
- 22:12Speaker 1: well so that I had a reason for not finishing
- 22:15Speaker 1: my proposal that night. He was understanding and I went
- 22:19Speaker 1: back in two days later with everyone else. I never
- 22:23Speaker 1: found out who the guy was or what that was
- 22:25Speaker 1: all about. Nothing was stolen or tampered with to my knowledge.
- 22:36Speaker 1: This happened to me about 15 years ago. I lived
- 22:40Speaker 1: near the ocean and I frequented a certain spot on
- 22:43Speaker 1: the beach all the time. It was a lonely spot
- 22:46Speaker 1: and not many people ever really showed up there. This
- 22:50Speaker 1: one Saturday afternoon, I was laying out in the sand
- 22:53Speaker 1: in my spot, relaxing and tanning. It's not uncommon for
- 22:58Speaker 1: me to fall asleep. I did sometimes if the sun
- 23:01Speaker 1: wasn't too hot on my skin. This one particular day,
- 23:05Speaker 1: I did I woke up a while later to the
- 23:08Speaker 1: sun now setting, and I realized I had slept for
- 23:12Speaker 1: quite a while. I looked to my left and saw
- 23:15Speaker 1: a woman sitting near me in the sand, but not
- 23:18Speaker 1: a towel. She was wearing jean shorts and a bathing
- 23:21Speaker 1: suit top. She had really pretty red hair. At first
- 23:26Speaker 1: I didn't really acknowledge her, but after glancing at her
- 23:29Speaker 1: a few times, I noticed she was just staring out
- 23:32Speaker 1: into the ocean and did not turn to look at
- 23:35Speaker 1: me or anything for that matter. I felt a bit
- 23:38Speaker 1: of curiosity and said hello to her. She said hello back,
- 23:42Speaker 1: without turning her head to look at me. Right after that,
- 23:47Speaker 1: she sprung to her feet and walked away. I thought
- 23:50Speaker 1: it was kinda weird, but didn't think too much of it.
- 23:54Speaker 1: I'd say about 30 minutes later I packed up my
- 23:57Speaker 1: stuff and left. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, and
- 24:01Speaker 1: I had a great day relaxing there. Once I was
- 24:05Speaker 1: home I started making myself dinner. I heard my phone
- 24:08Speaker 1: ring and walked over to my purse on the counter
- 24:12Speaker 1: and pulled it out. It was my mom. We started
- 24:15Speaker 1: talking about the usual things when I noticed a square
- 24:19Speaker 1: folded piece of paper sticking out of my purse in
- 24:22Speaker 1: the midst of our conversation. My mom continued talking and
- 24:26Speaker 1: I pulled out the paper and unfolded it, confused because
- 24:31Speaker 1: I was pretty sure that I did not put it there.
- 24:34Speaker 1: I literally dropped the phone and when I read what
- 24:37Speaker 1: was written on the paper. It said, I was going
- 24:43Speaker 1: to rob you and stab you in the throat, but
- 24:46Speaker 1: you just looked so peaceful. I picked up the phone
- 24:50Speaker 1: and told my mom what happened, remembering the girl on
- 24:53Speaker 1: the beach. We both nearly passed out.
- 25:06Speaker 2: Hi, my name is Trevor, and this is by far
- 25:09Speaker 2: the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. This
- 25:13Speaker 2: happened in May of this year. I'm a 22-year-old male
- 25:18Speaker 2: who's in pretty good shape, and I'm a first responder,
- 25:21Speaker 2: so I've seen and dealt with pretty much everything. I
- 25:26Speaker 2: live with my parents in an upper-middle class community. The
- 25:30Speaker 2: town I live in has very little to no crime
- 25:32Speaker 2: in it. So here's my story. My parents left to
- 25:38Speaker 2: go to Florida to visit some family and basically left
- 25:41Speaker 2: me and my German Shepherd dog alone for the week.
- 25:45Speaker 2: A quick layout of the house. It's two stories with
- 25:48Speaker 2: my parents' room on the first floor. Anyways, it's night
- 25:54Speaker 2: out and I'm sleeping in my parents' room with my dog.
- 25:58Speaker 2: The bed is between two windows with screens on them.
- 26:02Speaker 2: They were both opened. It's about 2am and I'm just
- 26:06Speaker 2: getting ready to fall asleep when I wake up to
- 26:09Speaker 2: the sounds of screaming. I think nothing of it since
- 26:13Speaker 2: there's a lot of kids in the area who are
- 26:15Speaker 2: always out. But about 10 minutes later, I hear the
- 26:20Speaker 2: same screaming again, which woke my dog up and he
- 26:24Speaker 2: was also alerted. I still think nothing of it. Another
- 26:30Speaker 2: 10 minutes, the screaming happens again. And I noticed it
- 26:34Speaker 2: wasn't a child scream. And it was only one person.
- 26:38Speaker 2: It was a loud screaming sounding like someone was getting stabbed.
- 26:42Speaker 2: My dog starts huffing and totally freaking out. I'm now
- 26:47Speaker 2: scared shitless and unable to move. Five minutes later and
- 26:52Speaker 2: the screaming was right outside the window. It was so
- 26:56Speaker 2: loud this time that my ears started ringing. My dog
- 27:00Speaker 2: flips absolute shit. and I'm having a panic attack. I
- 27:05Speaker 2: look out the window, and I see some old woman
- 27:08Speaker 2: with long gray hair, and she was still screaming. I
- 27:12Speaker 2: finally jump into action, and I grab my dad's pistol.
- 27:17Speaker 2: The only bad thing is that it was a revolver,
- 27:19Speaker 2: and it had no bullets, so I had to pray
- 27:22Speaker 2: she thought it was loaded. I went back to the window,
- 27:26Speaker 2: and now she was gone. I dialed 911, and as
- 27:30Speaker 2: soon as the operator answered, I then heard the front
- 27:33Speaker 2: door glass break. I ran over and I see this
- 27:38Speaker 2: old woman reaching into the window trying to unlock it.
- 27:42Speaker 2: The scariest part of all of this was that her
- 27:44Speaker 2: arm was rubbing right against the broken glass cutting her
- 27:47Speaker 2: very deep but she wasn't even reacting to it. She
- 27:51Speaker 2: was giving me the thousand yard stare while laughing and screaming.
- 27:57Speaker 2: I'm literally crying at this point and I pointed the
- 28:00Speaker 2: gun right at her. She sees the gun and then
- 28:03Speaker 2: just starts yelling.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Do it!
- 28:06Speaker 2: I dare you! And as much as I wanted to,
- 28:10Speaker 2: I couldn't since I had no bullets. And then suddenly,
- 28:14Speaker 2: I then see lights going down my street. The woman
- 28:18Speaker 2: pulls her arm away and starts walking back slowly while
- 28:22Speaker 2: still staring at me and laughing. I can then hear
- 28:26Speaker 2: the cops yelling. Drop the knife, ma'am! The cops took
- 28:30Speaker 2: my statement. and I later found out that she was
- 28:33Speaker 2: actually a psych patient who had escaped the hospital, and
- 28:37Speaker 2: that she even broke into a trailer nearby and stabbed
- 28:40Speaker 2: a couple. The last I heard, they were okay, but
- 28:44Speaker 2: why my house out of all the others? I had
- 28:48Speaker 2: my door fixed and all the blood cleaned up. My
- 28:51Speaker 2: parents later called me because they had heard that there
- 28:53Speaker 2: was a break-in in the area. I had to tell
- 28:56Speaker 2: them it was our house, but to not worry. to
- 29:00Speaker 2: that crazy old to try stabbing me. I hope you're
- 29:04Speaker 2: getting the proper care and help that you need.
