Theres no aliens or demons or boogeymen, just people that you or I may come across one day.
She left her apartment momentarily to get her mail and returned while on the phone with her boyfriend.
I had just moved into my first apartment and was in the process of moving in.

The door that led into my apartment locks itself automatically when closed.
I called my boyfriend and he came to me just before the police.
I gave them my keys and they went inside.

Only moments later two cops came out holding a thin and tired looking man.
His eyes looked crazy, but he didnt make a run at get away.
My boyfriend moved in with me the very next day.
This story is completely traumatizing, especially if youre also a woman who lives alone.
A similar story was told by awoman who goes by the name u/heartx3jess who lived with her boyfriend.
When she heard noises downstairs, she expected them to be her boyfriend.
So, this afternoon I was lying in bed getting work done.
But around 1 PM I heard the front door open and shut.
I thought huh, I guess hes home an hour early today.
In fact, I was mostly mentally preparing for the awkward post-fight hey hows it going conversation.
But I was caught up in the dramatics of the fight and didnt think about it.
I was just lying there, waiting, waiting, waiting for him to finally come in.
Finally, the bedroom door slowly opened just a few inches.
But the door didnt open more than a few inches.
I looked and saw that it was a womans hand with red nail polish on the doorknob.
Whoever was there slowly closed the door just as they had opened it, without entering the room.
My first thought: that was not my boyfriend.
This woman never found out who was in her house.
She called her boyfriend and he called the police.
Anyway, in unrelated news I will be boarding up the space underneath my bed tonight.
We dont want to end up asanother story on r/LetsNotMeet.
