My mum once shouted my name when I was home alone.

She was in another country, it was midnight, and I live in a 7-bedroomed house.

1.I lit two long taper candles for some ambiance while I was playing guitar late at night.

30 People Reveal Their Horror-Movie-Worthy Experiences

Hailey Kean

Its dark outside and then all of a sudden I hear the loudest sound.

Some drunk woman literally launched a hammer through my kitchen window.

Was so loud and glass was everywhere.

January Nelson

I followed her down the street whilst calling the police.

3.The cleaning lady tried to commit suicide in our bathroom.

She died four days later.

It then began to slightly jiggle like someone was messing with it.

She stood up and was screaming in her crib just like one of the kids from the sims.

We think she has nightmares sometimes its fine.

5.A couple years back I woke up at 3am to see someone walk past my bedroom door.

I asked him who he was and got no answer.

I also absolutely refuse to live on the ground floor of a building.

7.One afternoon someone knocked at my back door.

I thought it was the guy coming to read our meter, so I opened the door.

Then they shoved me down on the couch.

They kept calling me by my next door neighbors name.

We had suspected they were selling drugs.

All of the people stopping by for less than 5 minutes made it pretty obvious.

I just kept telling them I wasnt her.

One of them searched the house, while the other kept me pinned to the couch.

My neighbors house is a single floor, with a basement.

My house is a 4 level, back split.

Then I showed them my mail, because it showed my name, and they knew they fucked up.

They started telling me that they were after my neighbors boyfriend, because he raped their cousin.

Which I knew was BS, but I didnt care, I just wanted them to leave.

They robbed me of my cash, and left.

I now have locks on my screen doors.

I definitely thought we were being bombed until I remembered where I live.

I had just let my dog out to the backyard and he was completely traumatized.

I started making a midnight quesadilla when I heard someone cough in the basement.

I yelled and ran outside, and they took off through the backyard.

She was busted a couple years later doing this to her SIL.

Next thing you know I hear my back door open.

A normal thing in our home since we only use the back door.

But no one was supposed to be home yet.

I assumed it was my mom and didnt think anything of it.

Then I heard footsteps coming up the stairs as my bedroom was on the second floor.

I call out to my mom and get no response.

Then my door cracks open and a head pops in.

At the time I was about 260lbs 63 and 20 years old (m).

I was also sitting in only my boxers.

Before I was able to realize what was happening he asked, Is this the ____ residence?

I reply, No?

He makes a swift exit.

He did, but he met up with another man dressed in black walking towards my house.

I didnt sleep at all that night and my brother came to stay the next night.

Im so glad I live in an apartment now, much more security.

12.I was asleep at home alone.

Awake with my eyes closed.

When I got up in the morning though the front door was open.

They didnt take anything and left no signs of being there.

Was still very very creepy though.

13.Was home with my infant twin daughters who were sound asleep.

I was watching TV in the lower level of my tri-level home.

It it angled straight down as if to steadying itself.

Then I could feel my heartbeat in my neck.

Ive never been remotely shaken like I was then.

Dont know what it was, but the image is seared into my memory.

14.When I was about ten years old someone kept ringing the doorbell for like ten minutes.

15.Somebody tried to break into the house while I was by myself.

The whole place was quiet and dark at nighttime.

I completely froze and my mind went blank.

Just standing there like an idiot and staring.

Whoever it was left.

She was a very good girl.

16.Its 12am, I hear a knock on our door.

Its a mans voice.

Nah, huge red flags.

I tell him give me a minute.

I go grab the biggest knife I could.

As I initiate the door I hide the knife behind the thigh furthest from him.

Lucky I hid the knife behind me, chatted a bit and he left.

Could have been bad.

17.I had the police knock one day while I was alone.

The cop had a guy in the back of his car who said we were holding his friend captive… 18.This happened to me a couple of years ago.

I have also lived on my own a long time so do not get scared easily!

This would be about 1:30 in the morning.

I closed my eyes and I head a voice say Meow like imitating a cat!

My window was open so I though it was just someone being weird outside.

I leapt up like a god damn ninja and put the light on and my heart was going mad.

Now, nothing paranormal has happened in this house, ever in the entire time I have lived here.

My friends thought this was hilarious when I told them.

The next few nights other weird stuff started happening.

Well, funnily enough I had just started taking this new tablet Montelukast for my asthma.

When I got home, read the side effects, a rare one being hallucinations!

Stopped taking them, no more hauntings!

19.When I was 19 in my first apartment I had someone knock at the door.

I was freaking out and crying as they quickly had 5 cops show up within 5+ minutes.

Apparently he was after the previous renter but was extremely intoxicated.

They arrested him and thankfully he never came back.

I ended up breaking my lease and moving out 3 months later.

I was busy painting, listening to music when I realized it had gotten dark outside.

Crawled to my phone and called my husband who then called 911 while rushing home to me.

We have a 6 ft tall fence around our yard, this person hopped it to watch me.

I couldnt sleep right at night for months.

21.Someone attempting to break in.

I have a 75lb boxer and have never seen anyone run as fast as that man did.

22.My mum once shouted my name when I was home alone.

She was in another country, it was midnight, and I live in a 7-bedroomed house.
