00:00When I was nine, in 2016, my family moved into my grandparents' house after they decided to downsize.
00:07They'd built it in the early 90s on five acres, just outside a quiet southern town.
00:11Our land was surrounded by dense woods, open fields, and a sluggish, muddy river that curved along our southern fence line.
00:20Our only neighbors lived on a strange, jagged plot next door, where an old farmhouse seemed to sag into the earth.
00:27Built in the 1920s, it had been patched together over decades with mismatched additions, rooms tacked on like afterthoughts.
00:35The siding looked perpetually damp, even in sunlight, and the yard was a mess.
00:41Overgrown shrubs choked with vines, cracked fountains buried in weeds, headless garden gnomes, and trash strewn everywhere.
00:50Plastic bags fluttered in the trees, and a rusted lawnmower sat abandoned mid-task.
00:55Two elderly sisters, Violet and Agnes, lived there with three kids.
01:00Violet, the quieter one, spent her days in a faded rocking chair on the porch, staring into the distance.
01:07Agnes, though frail, was more lively, but moved with visible pain.
01:13Both were well into their seventies.
01:15The kids were their grandchildren.
01:17Liam, a boy my age, and two girls, Allison and Kelsey, who were my younger sister's age.
01:23Liam was odd, and I avoided him, but being in the same class meant we were often stuck together.
01:29He'd show up at our house unannounced.
01:31No call, no knock.
01:33Once I caught him splashing in our pool.
01:35Another time, he strolled into our kitchen, grabbed leftover pizza from the fridge, and ate it like he owned the place.
01:43Hanging out with Liam was never fun.
01:45He was obsessed with anime, spouting Japanese phrases I didn't understand, and getting annoyed when I didn't react.
01:52Sometimes, his eyes would glaze over with a dark, violent glint.
01:56Once, he chased me with garden shears, laughing maniacally.
02:00Another time, on a rickety bridge over the creek near our properties, he shoved me.
02:06Hard.
02:07He called a prank, but his smirk told me otherwise.
02:09The twins, Allison and Kelsey, were different, ghostly quiet, with dirty clothes and slurred speech that made them hard to understand.
02:19They were seven but sounded like toddlers, always flinching, always hungry.
02:24Their dad was in and out of jail, leaving them neglected.
02:27Then there was their mom, Teresa.
02:29The first time I met her, she was struggling with a hose near a property line.
02:33She was tall, heavy set, with long, curly black hair and outdated glasses.
02:39Unlike the rest of her family, she was polished, clean clothes, neat hair.
02:44She smiled like she'd been expecting me, asked for help with a stuck faucet, and praised my strength when I turned it effortlessly.
02:52I felt flattered until she said,
02:54You know you have a third eye, don't you?
02:56Confused, I asked what she meant.
02:57She explained it was a spiritual eye that sees truth, then invited me to her house.
03:04Against my better judgment, I followed.
03:06The inside was a nightmare, rotting food, mildew, and a sour stench.
03:12Trash littered the floor, dirty diapers stuffed behind furniture.
03:16I wanted a bolt, but Teresa gripped my arm and let me upstairs.
03:20Her room was a stark contrast, spotless, with pink wallpaper, plush carpet, and shelves of porcelain dolls.
03:28It smelled of roses and old perfume, like a different world.
03:32She sat me on a stool, pulled out a silver tray with a black candle, a crystal, and a leather book with a pentagram on the cover.
03:39I froze.
03:41My Catholic upbringing screamed danger.
03:43Pentagrams were everywhere.
03:44On her jewelry box, the mirror, even carved into the floor beneath the rug.
03:50I mumbled an excuse about my mom needing me and fled.
03:53In 2019, Agnes died of a heart attack in their living room, collapsing in front of the kids.
04:00At her funeral, in a dilapidated Baptist church, the family was emotionless,
04:05except for a strange woman sobbing loudly in the second pew, ignored by everyone.
04:10That same year, Liam vanished.
04:12Rumors said he'd attacked one of the twins and was sent to a psychiatric facility.
04:17My parents sat us down, their faces grave, and forbade us from ever approaching that family again.
04:24It all started to make sense.
04:25The unease, the fear, the strange moments I'd brushed off.
04:30The family eventually moved, abandoning Violet in that crumbling house.
04:34She died alone in 2020.
04:36The property was auctioned, and my old teacher, Mrs. S., bought it with her husband.
04:42They demolished most of the house, but kept the original 1920 section, including Teresa's old room.
04:49When Mrs. S. invited us to see the renovations, the house looked brand new.
04:53Fresh paint, modern appliances.
04:55But upstairs, in her bedroom, I felt it.
05:00The pentagram, still there like the house held its memory.
05:03Nausea hit me, and I left early, claiming a headache.
05:07Last year, Mrs. S. asked me to dog-sit while they were away.
05:11The first four nights were fine.
05:12Their dogs, Muffin and Henry, greeted me happily.
05:16But on the final night, as I was leaving, Henry started barking furiously at the staircase.
05:21Muffin whimpered, backing away.
05:24There was nothing there.
05:26Then, a thump from upstairs.
05:28Another, louder.
05:29I didn't wait.
05:31I grabbed the dogs, slammed the door, and ran home, feeling like something was trailing me.
05:37Now, in 2025, word is Teresa's back.
05:40A classmate saw her at a farmer's market, leading some truth-seer, religious group,
05:46living in a mobile home community deep in the woods.
05:49Flyers for her group are popping up around town.
05:51I don't trust her.
05:52I think she's evil.
05:54Neglecting her kids, abandoning her mother, and bringing something dark into that house.
05:59Something that never left.
06:01I still dream of her and Leon, standing silently at the foot of my bed, staring.
06:06That house, no matter how polished it looks now, remembers.
06:10And I don't think it's done with what it holds.
06:13My name's Keegan, and I live in Michigan with my parents.
06:16High school was mostly good.
06:17I met new people and had a solid group I'd hang out with at the local community center,
06:22lifting weights or playing basketball.
06:24Freshman year, as summer break approached, I was pumped for driver's training and a side gig to earn some cash.
06:31One friend, Clayton, a gray below me, was a regular hangout buddy.
06:36We'd chill once a week, and my dad even took us to a Detroit Pistons game, knowing Clayton loved basketball.
06:42Things were cool, until I got busier.
06:45Clayton started changing.
06:46If I couldn't hang out, he'd get moody or outright angry.
06:50He had a temper that flared up fast.
06:52One day, when I told him I was stuck cleaning at home, he didn't believe me.
06:56Later, I saw he'd unfriended me on Snapchat.
06:59I messaged him on Messenger, asking why he was so upset.
07:03He accused me of lying to ditch him.
07:05Honestly, I had started avoiding him sometimes.
07:08He was getting annoying, and I'd make excuses like having other plans.
07:12But his reaction was intense.
07:15He felt excluded, and one night, after sunset, he showed up at my apartment unannounced.
07:20I asked why he didn't text first.
07:22He just stared at me, silent, with this unsettling, blank look, then walked away slowly.
07:29I turned off my Snap Map after that, hiding my location.
07:32A month later, he was still sulky or mad when I couldn't meet up.
07:36Then my friend Nick, who rarely hung out with us, texted me.
07:40He knew Clayton and Clayton's ex-girlfriend.
07:43What he told me, along with the ex, made my blood run cold.
07:47Clayton had held a knife to his ex's throat and assaulted her.
07:51I knew then he was dangerous.
07:53I blocked him on every platform.
07:55He spammed me on Instagram, demanding why I was cutting him off.
07:58I lied, saying I needed space and might reconnect later,
08:01just to get him to stop.
08:03That night, while my parents were out of town for dinner,
08:06I heard a knock at the door.
08:08Peering through the peephole, I saw no one.
08:10I cracked the door.
08:12Empty hallway.
08:13Thinking it was a prank, I brushed it off.
08:15But later, glancing out my bedroom window,
08:18I saw a flash of light by the sidewalk.
08:20My stomach dropped.
08:22A tall figure stood outside my window.
08:24Clayton.
08:24I yelled for him to leave.
08:26He demanded I let him in to talk.
08:28I refused.
08:29Then he raised his hand, and I saw it.
08:32A knife, glinting in the dim light.
08:35I shouted I'd call the police.
08:36He bolted.
08:37When the cops arrived, I gave them his description,
08:40but I never heard from him again.
08:42I suspect he ended up in juvie.
08:44That night was one of the most terrifying of my life,
08:47especially being alone.
08:49I'm grateful I cut ties when I did.
08:51Staying friends might have made me a target, or worse.
08:53In late 2022, I went on what I thought would be a fun first date with Emily,
08:59someone I'd match with on a dating app.
09:01We'd texted for two weeks, bonding over our love for horror movies.
09:05When Smile hit theaters, we decided it'd be the perfect date.
09:09We chose a Thursday night, a 10-15pm showing at a small, run-down theater,
09:14just outside town.
09:15I picked her up at 9.30.
09:17She was friendly but shy, quiet during the drive,
09:20until we started chatting about our favorite scary films.
09:24The theater's parking lot was nearly empty,
09:26and I joked it looked like a horror movie set.
09:29Flickering lights, no one around.
09:31The lobby was deserted, except for one worker at the concession stand.
09:35When I asked if the theater would be packed,
09:37he laughed, and said we were the only ones who bought tickets.
09:40We thought it'd be awesome.
09:42No crowds, just us and the movie.
09:44We settled into Theater 6,
09:46picking seats dead center,
09:48and four rows from the back.
09:49It was freezing, and Emily shivered,
09:52so I gave her my hoodie.
09:54We laughed about the eerie vibe of being alone in the massive room,
09:58chatting as we waited for the previews.
10:00Things felt good, like we might click,
10:02but just as the lights dimmed and the final trailer ended,
10:05I caught movement out of the corner of my eye.
10:08Someone entered the theater.
10:09They didn't pause,
10:11didn't check their phone for seats,
10:13just walked slowly up the steps and sat directly behind us.
10:16Out of 100 empty seats,
10:17they picked the one right at my back.
10:20Emily glanced back,
10:21her expression uneasy.
10:23I muttered,
10:24of course,
10:25try and play it off,
10:26but something felt wrong.
10:27It wasn't just someone being rude.
10:29It was like they were watching us.
10:31A minute later,
10:32I peeked back.
10:33He wasn't looking at the screen.
10:35He was staring straight at us,
10:36unblinking.
10:37I whispered to Emily,
10:39he's just staring.
10:40She nodded,
10:41tense,
10:42and said she'd notice too.
10:43We tried to focus on the movie,
10:45but I could feel his gaze boring into me,
10:48heavy and deliberate.
10:49Every few minutes,
10:50I'd sense it again,
10:52not just presence,
10:53but intent.
10:54About 20 minutes in,
10:55I glanced back more casually.
10:57Same deal.
10:59He was still staring,
11:00leaning slightly forward.
11:02He was middle-aged,
11:03maybe late 40s,
11:04pale,
11:05clean-shaven,
11:06in a dark hoodie.
11:07His face looked vacant,
11:09but his eyes were locked on us,
11:11sharp and unyielding.
11:12I told Emily he was freaking me out.
11:14She looked scared,
11:15and asked if we should move.
11:17We debated it,
11:18but stayed put.
11:19Moving might make things weirder,
11:21and we were already in the best seats.
11:23Then,
11:23I felt it,
11:25a soft,
11:26deliberate breath on the back of my neck.
11:28I whipped around.
11:29He was leaning over my seat,
11:31closer than he should have been.
11:32Dude,
11:32can you not?
11:33I snapped.
11:34He didn't react.
11:35Just eased back slowly.
11:37That was enough.
11:38I told Emily we were moving.
11:40We grabbed our stuff,
11:41and relocated to the front corner row.
11:43Bad angle,
11:44but safer.
11:45I kept checking back,
11:47and every time,
11:48he was still staring at us,
11:50unmoving.
11:51Halfway through the movie,
11:52we heard footsteps.
11:54He was coming down the steps.
11:55Emily gripped my arm.
11:57We froze.
11:58The steps stopped a few rows above us.
12:00I didn't look.
12:01After what felt like forever,
12:03he climbed back to his seat.
12:05I whispered,
12:06We're leaving.
12:07She agreed.
12:07We slipped out quietly,
12:10hurrying down the hall to the lobby.
12:12Glancing through the theater's glass door,
12:14I saw him standing in the aisle,
12:16staring after us,
12:17ignoring the screen.
12:19We told the concession worker about the guy.
12:21His face fell.
12:22Again,
12:23he said.
12:24I pressed him,
12:25and he admitted the man had been showing up for a month,
12:28always for late screenings,
12:30never buying anything.
12:31Others had complained,
12:33but management wouldn't act unless he broke a rule.
12:36Emily,
12:36near tears,
12:38asked for an escort to our car.
12:40A janitor walked us out.
12:41The guy didn't follow.
12:42At least,
12:43not that we saw.
12:45Driving Emily home,
12:46I couldn't shake the fear he'd noted my license plate
12:49or tailed us from a distance.
12:51For weeks,
12:51I was paranoid.
12:52A cop friend said the theater could have kicked him out.
12:55No question.
12:56I avoided that area after that.
12:58Emily and I texted a bit,
13:00but never met again.
13:01The experience shook us both.
13:02I haven't returned to that theater,
13:04and though I've seen no online reviews about the guy,
13:07I wonder how many others he's terrified.
