We notice a drop of blood by our feet.
After close examination of ourselves we notice none of us are bleeding.
We shined our flashlight further ahead and notice the blood continues into the darkness.

1.My car was stolen the very night I moved into my new house in a very good neighborhood.
The neighbors had warned us that the neighborhood was being targeted at the time.
We had reported the car stolen and did the police reports when it happened.
I called the police to say that two men claiming to be police are pounding on my door.
They said there was no police in the area and theyre sending a car.
Turns out, these same guys stole the car and came back for seconds.
I did get my car back because they brought it with.
2.One night when I was very young and at a bar, I got quite drunk.
Some guy propositioned me to go back to his place and I was up for it.
It was quite a ways, and I started to question him where we were going.
He said it was just up the road on the river.
He pulls over to the side of US1 and points to a two-story house on the river.
It was very dark and the only light was of the Moon.
We walk down the dock to get to the front door.
So of course drunk and stupid, I said no problem.
He guides me by the hand up a set of stairs.
And again drunk and stupid me just sits down on the mattress not thinking about anything.
As I sit there in the dark I start to get my vision becoming clearer.
The mattress has no sheet on it and I hear a whisper in my ear, Get Out!
I ran down the stairs.
I ran out of the door and down the dock.
I ran across u.s. 1, and up to a house that was across the street.
I ran up to the door and started beating on the door and screaming for help.
I turn and look and the guy is running across u.s. 1 at me chasing me.
I start screaming more and more as now Im afraid this house is abandoned.
Right as the guy gets up about ten feet away, the porch light turns on.
The guy stops, turns around, and went back to his truck.
Poor guy whose door I was beating on came out and saw me crumbled, crying on his porch.
I never saw him again.
I never even knew his name.
But he saved my life.
I know he did.
3.A couple years ago I snuck into an abandoned orphanage with a couple buddies.
Dumb I know, but drunk college kids find dumb.
Step down through a basement window onto a barrel, easy.
We get down and walk through a hallway when we notice a drop of blood by our feet.
After close examination of ourselves we notice none of us are bleeding.
We shined our flashlight further ahead and notice the blood continues into the darkness.
Noped the fuck out as fast as possible.
Trespassing with someone/something else injured in the basement of this building?
4.I used to drive for Lyft.
Last year, I picked up a young couple from a bar at about 1:30 am.
They were fairly chill and I figured it would be my last ride of the night.
He ended up being about 5 minutes since everyone was trying to get their pre-2 am beer.
He said he wanted to meet some friends real quick and grab some beer.
So when I turned onto the destination street, I missed the turn into the complex parking lot.
And then something hit my car.
But there were no other cars on the road, so that couldnt have been it.
But that didnt make any sense either as Id been in park and couldnt have hit anything.
Its at this point that the young ladys attitude completely changed.
She just kinda looked around, and then said, Can we just get out of here?
It hurts and I want to go home.
As he reached over to tend to her I noticed something white sticking out of the seat.
This hadnt been there at the beginning of the night, so I asked him what it was.
He pulled on it; it was a piece of the filler fuzz from my seat.
It came out of the hole that had been made in the seat.
Because shed been shot.
As soon he grabbed that fuzz we both had the same realization.
Thousands and thousands of acres of undeveloped land with just gravel logging roads and trails.
Three dudes in overalls, no shirts and full face helmets rode out of the woods on quads.
They rode a few slow circles around us then took off back into the woods.
We booked the fuck out of there.
Turns out all that undeveloped land is also good for growing, cooking, and dumping.
6.My dad was into heavy drugs (heroin, mescaline, coke) and would binge drink.
My sister and I witnessed this stuff at least twice a year until we were around 13.
One night, I woke up to my dad screaming and my sister crying.
He had my moms head under his foot with a shotgun in her mouth.
I was paralyzed and thought for sure I was about to see my mom die.
They hid us there for 3 days and never called the police.
Nobody ever called the police.
And my mom stayed with him until I was 18.
I still have nightmares and can smell the old blood.
7.I was at a party my freshman year of college and some seedy people were present.
The night was getting very tense, but no fights or anything happened.
As the night went on it became very clear to me something was going to happen.
I told my friend it was time to leave.
No more than 5 minutes after we left someone was stabbed and the stabber was shot.
8.I was at a national park on vacation.
The layout was kinda like a crater with a rim you could walk under almost all the way around.
Like with a scary tone and a smile.
10.I was a 13 year old girl, camping with my best friend and her mom by a lake.
My friends mom was not the worlds best mother, and allowed my friend to get drunk.
I had one drink, so I was a little tipsy, but still had my wits about me.
And god, Im so glad I did.
Two men followed us out to the lake.
We didnt notice until my friend and I had swam a few dozen yards into the water.
The men were very drunk, stumbling with their beer bottles in hand.
They were catcalling us as they waded into the water, getting closer and closer.
My friend was so drunk, and wantingsobadly to seem cool to these grown up men.
Drunk 13 year olds arent the most rational thinkers.
At first, she tried to respond to their questions.
Theyre going to rape us.
We need to leave.
Back then, I second-guessed myself and wondered if maybe I had been a little dramatic.
11.When I was a preteen a strange man stopped and asked me for directions that didnt make sense.
As Im trying to help him a van rolls up and the side door opens.
I just booked it and never looked back.
12.Years ago my BF owned a truck tire repair company.
When he came out of the house he was pretty shaken up.
He had a scary feeling that day.
I immediately noticed but didnt think much of it.
We walked for about 2 more minutes and I noticed one of them stopped and was staring at us.
I immediately had a bad feeling and told my sister we should leave, she noticed and obliged.
14.My first and last college party.
My friends discarded it as an intimidation thing but my body instantly went to fight or flight mode.
We would later find out that 3 women were raped that same night at that same party.
Forever ruined college parties for me.
15.This was by far the creepiest thing to ever happen to me.
Its a bit long but bear with me.
For context, I live only a few streets away from my workplace.
This guy came to my floor one day for a team meeting.
He was always alone, never spoke to anyone, only watched me.
This happened for about 3 months.
One day he happened to be downstairs at the time I finish work.
He then knew EXACTLY what time I finish and waited downstairs for me everyday.
He just sat there watching, waited for us to leave, then went back up.
One day I walked out with a friend.
Boy was I wrong.
My friend walked off in the opposite direction leaving me alone.
The feeling that rushed over me just then, I had never felt it before.
When people talk about the flight or fight response, THIS was literally the epitome of that.
To this day I still cannot understand what made me turn around when I generally never do that.
I was smart enough to go in a completely different direction so he wouldnt know where I live.
He wouldve only need to follow me a short distanceto see where I lived.
16.Was having lunch in a restaurant with my mom and something just felt wrong.
Still think about that a lot.
I called the police and very nearly escaped being robbed or worse.
I hear him say, Did you just get a horrible feeling?
We both felt it from the woods across the street.
It felt like despair and fear.
The closer we got, the worse it was.
We noped out real quick.
Later that night we both had nightmares of being kidnapped.
That guy gave me the heebie jeebies and we never saw him again after that day.
He flashed a gun at me, and nodded towards the door.
I didnt make him ask twice.
21.Definitely when my town got hit with the worst firestorm weve ever had in 2017.
(Thomas fire)
We knew there was a fire somewhere.
We werent too worried.
The power is beginning to go spotty, and the winds are howling outside.
You guys need to pack a bag!
after the call was over the power went out and stayed out.
But it isnt rain.
Not 15 minutes had gone by, and I look outside.
We lived by a large hill only two blocks away, and it was burning.
It got there so fast.
I got back inside and tell my roommates we have to leave right away.
This is when our neighbors started wigging out too.
We had to then capture our 3 very scared and confused cats.
22.While in college, I was at a house party.
I had gotten pretty drunk and was passed out on the couch.
My buddies ran in to wake me and get me out of the house in a hurry.
He started running after the guy who had fought him.
I didnt see any of this.
But that was the fastest we ever left anywhere.
From the top of the stairs I could see a bed and what looked like a semi furnished room.
We both locked eyes with him and I got a super creeped out feeling.
When we got to our tent we went inside and everything we had in there was tossed.
Our bags were dumped out and our clothes were thrown everywhere.
We quickly realized both our hunting knives were gone, along with a bunch of our clothes.
We jumped in the car and drove back towards where we had seen him, he was gone.
We drove a bit further and found a common area where other campers were gathered.
We sprinted down and asked, Have any of you seen this guy… and described him.
It was at that point that I told my friend, We need to leave this place right now.
We gathered them up but didnt find either of our knives.
No way were we staying out in those woods one more night!
25.I was walking by a long stretch of road with no houses.
There was a cemetery.
A van with two guys in it stopped to ask me if I needed a ride.
This was in the late 90s, so its not like hitchhiking was legal.
Im all, No thanks, Im nearly home.
I was just a teen, and they were clearly 20-something.
I just took off running.
26.Was at a rest stop in upstate New York near Troy around midnight.
I hopped in the car and drove away before anything else happened.
A couple approached us, and instantly something in my gut told me that they werent safe.
The man asked some weird question like, Is it just you and your daughter here?
feeling that came over me totally clouded any sort of reasoning.
28.Went to a movie on Halloween when I was in high school with my boyfriend at the time.
My boyfriend and I sat in the back row on one side of the opening.
I noticed the guy seemed really nervous and wasnt paying ANY attention to the movie.
I told my boyfriend that I was probably being silly but I wanted to leave.
As we were leaving we informed the staff about the guy just in case.
The police came and he apparently had quite a few large hunting knives hidden under his sweatshirt.
We had sneakers on, and had pretty solid footing, so it wasnt outrageously dangerous.
Then, out of absolute nowhere, raindrops started falling.
I look at him and see the panic in his eyes that Im feeling, too.
I see him break completely free and start sliding down with his eyes frozen in terror.
Somehow, miraculously, he stops sliding.
He eventually makes it high enough to grab the branch and I pull him up and over.
I have never felt panic like that.
We were so lucky to make it out of there.
For context I was 12.
Hed let me sleep under one of the desks at the back etc since it was always quiet overnight.
Went into a stall and just kinda stood there for a few minutes confused then went back out.
