Once I was alone watching TV and the door behind me closed AND locked.
Eg, what I was eating, drinking, playing with, when I had gotten up last….
Things I hadnt mentioned in chat.
Nathan Anderson
I instantly got a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Its been 10 years and I still have all the cameras on my devices covered in thick duct tape.
I screamed very loud and they let go and I ran inside.
3.I was a kid (around 10 yo) and I was babysitting my 7 yo sister.
Theyd walk off the grounds, and head through the woods toward the nearest big town.
So theyd ask to use the phone to call and get picked up by the hospital.
The woman who arrived in our driveway wanted me to call the hospital to pick her up.
But she also asked me if I had some matches, presumably to light a cigarette.
I ushered my sister into the house and locked the door as I called.
The woman was kind of half screaming/half moaning, Matches… until they came and picked her up.
4.I had just moved into my first apartment.
I freaked out at that point and locked myself in the bathroom with a knife and called 911.
They tried to pry the door open for about 3 minutes before they stopped.
The police surveyed the area and found an elderly man roaming around with a knife and a crowbar.
Im so thankful and glad I didnt answer the door once I realized it was no one I knew.
To this day my heart stops when someone knocks on my door.
5.So this took place in my backyard when I was a kid.
I had used this swing a billion times and where I landed wasnt even reachable at maximum swinging capacity.
I looked up and no one was around.
The feeling of being pulled back is permanently logged in my brain.
6.I live in a cul-de-sac.
My bedroom is on the second story.
I woke up one night around 3 am to go to the bathroom.
I knew we were expecting a LOT of snow.
I looked out the bedroom window to see the accumulation.
Higher than the curb.
Like a white blanket across the cul de sac.
Was downstairs maybe four minutes.
7.Once I was alone watching TV and the door behind me closed AND locked.
8.Lived out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woods and corn and wheat fields.
I was home alone one night and decided to step out on the porch for a cigarette.
Needless to say I tossed the cigarette and nopped back inside and locked the doors.
9.House sitting / baby sitting for a new neighbor.
She was a single mom from the east coast, moved to Indianapolis.
I was a 6th grader.
Her 2 year old baby was sleeping in his crib / room.
Around 9pm I get a call and answer.
Its some man who only asks who are you?
I say Im the babysitter.
Then he starts asking all these questions about where the mom is and who I am personally.
I get scared and hang up and call the mom and let her know.
The guy calls back and then just starts saying the address Im at.
Then asks if the baby is okay.
When I say yes he says how can you be so sure when hes that close to a window?
Basically a mental breakdown happened.
5 minutes later the mom shows up and explains its her ex husband who found her.
She hands me a wad of cash and excuses me.
Idk if the guy was in the bushes or calling from Massachusetts or what… it was scary.
10.I was laying on the chair with my eyes closed but I wasnt really asleep.
I swear I could feel her breath as she talked.
I got up and there was no one there.
11.Was asleep in the living room on my day off when a suburban came crashing through my kitchen.
Police ended up busting the window and dragging him out half naked.
12.In fall 2016 I moved into half of a really old house.
The owners basically turned it into a weird duplex.
Anyways, the layout of the house was weird.
So, my first night there was uneventful.
Cliche, I know.
It went on for awhile, and I was completely terrified.
It was just a cacophony of sound.
Nothing happened the rest of the night but I didnt get much sleep.
Couple days later a friend was visiting and he was about to leave.
As I was saying this a book threw itself off the bookshelf and onto the floor 3 feet away.
It had to fly past the dresser the shelf was perched and landed between the two of us.
He just gave me a creeped out look and said he had to go, I dont blame him.
He told me that no one stayed longer than a year and they all reported the same shit.
For whatever reason, he said nothing ever happened on his side.
Doesnt make sense, but there it is.
They had been scoping out houses looking for empty ones to rob.
The guys luckily just grabbed the two bikes in the garage and booked it.
14.When I was about 13 I spent the night over at my cousins house.
We were home alone for the night and stayed up late playing video games.
I remember he left the room to use the restroom.
Gave me a little bounce as if he had jumped on, bed squeak and all.
When I turned back to talk to him he wasnt there.
He was still in the restroom.
I have far more stories about that house, but thats definitely one time I felt the most shaken.
15.A couple years ago I was home alone, husband traveling out of state.
A few days later news broke that Samsung smart tvs had a hacking issue.
A damn bird smacked into the window during that movie scene.
I almost shit my pants and was covered in goose bumps.
17.It was January in Minnesota.
I was in my living room watching tv and I heard a small knocking coming from the basement.
So I walked down to investigate all over the basement to find nothing.
Not thinking much of it I walk back upstairs to the living room to continue watching.
About 5 minutes later I hear a loud crash from the basement and what sounded like a door opening.
At this point I was pretty worried.
Thats what Im choosing to believe anyway.
19.I was watching TV on the couch with the dog around noon or so.
No one is there but Im looking directly at the source of the sound.
The dog is on the defensive but her tail is tucked between her legs at the same time.
20.All the doors in the apartment slammed shut at the same time.
I took a walk around the neighborhood until my roommate got home.
21.It was raining heavily outside.
I was sitting on one the chairs, looking out the window.
And then suddenly, I heard something walking on the floor above me.
About 5 minutes later, I hear someone knock on the window.
I thought maybe it was a bird who hit the window or something.
But then, suddenly, this huge floor lamp fell right on me.
And I sat there for solid 10 minutes, trying to understand what exactly happened.
The lamp was perfectly fine.
I still dont understand how It fell.
Definitely the creepiest alone moment of my life.
My parents thought I was still at the neighbors house so they left to go to the store.
When I woke up, it was dark and the power had gone out.
It was a scratching noise, like something with claws was dragging against the concrete floor.
23.Was sitting in our living room watching TV one night and no one else was home.
Nothing happened so I turn the volume back up and keep watching TV.
I tensed up and thought someone had broken in our home.
Im shaking at this point but Im being quiet and listening.
I ran in the kitchen ready to whoop someones ass and there was nothing.
All of the doors were locked but she eventually just lied down and fell asleep on my porch.
25.I was home alone when I was like 9 or 10 (whichever you are in 5th grade).
Voice on the other end asks for David.
I tell them sorry, wrong number.
It almost always went:
H & R Block?
Sorry, wrong number.
Oh, Im sorry.
So Im on the line, waiting for him to say Oh, Im sorry.
Instead, he starts yelling that he needs to speak to David.
I tell him I have two Uncle Davids, but neither are there.
The guy starts cursing and ranting in what, in hindsight, was pretty clearly driven by meth.
He concludes the call with I know youre lying, and Im gonna come get your ass.
Then there is a banging/kicking at the door.
He probably gave someone he owed money to a bad address/number.
26.SO was out of town on business, so I treated myself and ordered in from my favorite restaurant.
Wish I had reported him to the restaurant, but I was too shaken to think about it.
27.I was home alone one night in middle school.
I was in my room (which is right above our kitchen) watching TV.
I peak out my window that over looks our drive way and didnt see anything.
I grab my softball bat and my cell phone and follow her downstairs.
So I quickly ran upstairs to my parents closet and called my parents and told them whats up.
They came home and obviously didnt find anyone or any trace of anyone being in the house.
28.It was raining pretty hard one night and I was about to go to bed.
Our dog decided to start going nuts barking at the corner of the family room.
We had just moved in so there wasnt anything in there but she just kept constantly barking at nothing.
I tried to pull her away but she wasnt having any of it.
She started showing her teeth and snarling, which she never does.
I wasnt about to go outside because of the rain and I didnt see anything anyway.
So I drag the dog to the bedroom but she just wont shut up.
Finally decide to get my shoes and umbrella on and walk around the house.
Hes disabled and a little slow.
He usually goes out for walks in the neighborhood.
He got caught in the rain and couldnt find his house.
My family had gone to Scotland for the weekend.
I was all alone at home for the weekend.
Once I arrived at home, I showered and was getting food ready.
After eating, I turned on my PS4, plugged my headset and began playing.
However, an hour later, I hear loud thudding from upstairs floor.
I hurried to my phone and called the police, who arrived quickly and began searching.
Luckily, no valuables had been taken.
This chick would not give me a name or what she wanted.
Finally threatened to call the cops and thats when she runs back down my stairs.
