I remember feeling happy about the compliment and I kept talking to him.
Being 11, I didnt think anything of this and proceeded to get into this strangers car.
The stranger sped off without talking to my grandpa and that was the last I ever heard about it.
God & Man
They stopped at a clearing beside the tracks and my friend and I hid opposite of them and watched…..
They started digging and kept pulling up bones and putting them in a bucket.
We got scared and bolted.
I immediately told my parents but they didnt believe me.
Im 32 and remember that day clearly.
I say yeah, who is this?
Instead of answering me he started asking things like do you ever touch yourself?
Do you like to look at girls?
Being in 3rd grade of course I was like nope!
and hung up pretty quick.
I told my parents but nothing ever came of it.
I still wonder to this day who it was, how they knew my name, and my whereabouts.
This was back on a corded landline with no caller ID either.
Wanting to prove my innocence I followed them, proving my naivety instead.
I said they could have my money, bank cards etc but they werent interested.
I told the driver the men were kidnapping me, and they had knives.
The boys fled, one shouting Well kill you!
I took the bus home, petrified, and swear I saw them leading another kid away.
I didnt go shopping in the city without an adult for at least ten more years.
The studio was in a strip center that wasnt usually crowded and was a bit off the beaten path.
I had a male student come in and he just seemed kinda off.
But I know some people are just awkward so I tried to shrug it off.
My blood ran cold.
He got WAY too close to me when he said those things.
I told him he needed to leave.
I started carrying pepper spray after that.
The worst part was he came by MULTIPLE times looking for me.
He even left cards for me.
I never really felt safe alone in the yoga studio by myself at night.

I had a stalker
I had a stalker in college.
Had to move dorm rooms and building 4 times in the middle of the night.
He found 2 of the dorms and left notes in my room.

I was almost snatched
Pretty sure I almost got kidnapped when I was a kid.
They were looking for the street I was walking towards, so I pointed them in that direction.
I told them it was fine, my house was right here (I lied).
They were pressuring/guilting me a lot and being TOO nice about wanting to drive me home.
It gave me a really weird feeling in my stomach.
So I pretended to walk towards a house that wasnt mine and they drove off.
I never went to confession again, instead have myself my own penance and lied about going for years.
I told my mom as an adult.
Cops show up and arrest a man who had murdered his gf and was trying to burn the body.

A gut instinct to run
I had a situation in a wooded area also.
Was on a nature trail alone in a quieter, more residential area of my city.
Saw through the trees what I thought was a trash bag hanging off a tree.
Got a bit closer and realized it was a man in black jacket and ski mask.
This was mid Fall season and not cold enough for that.
He started to move in my direction.
I got that same feeling as you.
You KNOW you have to bail right away.
I did just that.
Tore through some bushes onto an empty ballfield.
Told a family entering the trail not to go in, then a parks dept worker.
Not sure what happened after.
That guy was not there to watch birds.
Yes Im aware of the irony in carrying a gun to fight the gun problem.
We thought it was odd since we didnt see anyone around but kept going.
When you want to see one, everything looks like an animal.
Every time we would stop and look, they would stop.
My girl hated the idea of me carrying until then.
Now she completely gets it.
Didnt walk away or anything.
What in the hell was he planning to do if he caught me?
Still gives me the shakes 5 years later.
He never said a word, just walked up to me silently and put his hands around my neck.
Someone stirred and he dropped his hands.
I immediately called my mom and left without even saying anything.
Friend never believed me, and I never went back.

Creepy sleepover
Three friends were sleeping over at another friends house.
Two of us were in one room and he was in his own.
Didnt say anything, he just left after a few seconds.
No more sleepovers with him after.
I dont know what made me notice at first but I think I smelt the smoke.
We were 11yo, and this guy tells us to come out because Im a police officer.
I lived right across the street from the school.
From my house there was about a 50m sidewalk to it from the main road.
Im 100% sure I saw the man in the van wave a gun at the person.
So he pulls up to the light and is waiting.
He calls to me and my friend, says he needs directions.
Who tf ask 13 year olds for directions?
I pull my friends arm and tell her we need to leave.
We start walking back towards my house away from the guy and he got out!
Left the van right there at the light.
My friend and I take off, full tilt.
Make it half way down the path before ducking into some side bushes.
Im trembling and can hear my heart pounding in my ear.
The man stands at the end of the walk way staring down towards my house.
Clear as day, in his hand at his hip is a gun.
I refused to walk to school after that.
then started to ask my bra size, if I was a virgin.
I actually answered the questions!
I remember telling a girl after I started and shed had the same phone call.
My neighbor/friend was over and we were both like 7 or 8.
My sister was across the street with my neighbors mom.
It was just the two of us when the house phone rang so I picked it up.
I freaked out and hung up.
The devil called back and said he knew I was alone in the house and that we werent safe.
Horrified, I grabbed my friend and ran screaming across the street to safety.
When we got there, the devil was waiting for us.
I found them hiding behind this 7 foot tall toolbox my dad had in the basement.
I was about 5 feet away and saw their hands.
I left and watched the escalator from outside to check that I wasnt followed.
I kindly say fuck no and he jogs across the street and out of sight.
I go inside and tell an adult who responds… yeah, theyve been getting complaints like that.
The police came, and found muddy footprints in the kitchen, along with the kitchen door busted.

Alien encounter
I was camping in the Simpson desert on a multi day trip.
We didnt think much of it at the time, but I dare say we shouldnt have been there.
Anyways it did add to the eerie, remote and desolate feeling in the area.
I remember watching one satellite move, very slowly, much slower than the rest.
Then I noticed another, not far from it moving very slowly in the same direction.
Then the first one just made this hard right turn, and we were all like WTH.
Then the one behind it did the same thing.
And they continued to follow each other before both turning again.
It really fucked with me, I couldnt explain it at the time.
And it was so bizarre, I have no idea what it was.
But Im no space expert, thats the best I have come up with……
I have no clue what I saw that night.
But my dog made him rush.
This dude was someone I thought of as a close friend.

I was 14
Yuck!!
He worked for my uncle and I told my dad asap.
That man was fired instantly.
I feel bad for his wife and children, wish I could find them and tell them.
I saw them further down, turning the corner up ahead at what was kind of a crossroad.
A few minutes later the van was behind me, and slowing down to match my pace.
Theyd circled the entire block just to get behind me.
I can still remember running down their driveway and just body-slamming the back of their car in absolute fear.
Luckily they hadnt started reversing yet.
I ended up working for a few minutes then felt eyes on me (you know the feeling).
I turned around and my neighbor across the street was taking pictures of me so obviously.
Right when he saw me he put his phone down and turned around.
I immediately ran inside and told my family- none of them believed me.
Im 18 now and hes still my neighbor and I have been creeped out ever since.
I have to close my window blinds all the time still because I always feel like hes watching me.
Bushes mid-thigh and such.
We had parked near some bushes and the realtor (a petite female) had parked in the driveway.
My husband and I got back in the car and continued to chat while the realtor left.
He didnt look at us or give any indication he saw us.
