00:00My name is Allison. I am 27 years old. I live alone in a small house. My life is simple and quiet.

00:11I work from home. I make websites for small companies.

00:16I needed more money, so I decided to rent out my guest room.

00:22One day, I got a message from a website.

00:26A man named Peter Collins wanted to rent my guest room for one week.

00:33His online page looked good. He wrote that he was coming for work.

00:39He needed a place to stay. I agreed to his request.

00:45He sent the money very fast. Everything seemed normal.

00:50I waited for him to arrive. This was a good way to earn extra money.

00:57It would make the house feel less empty.

01:01On Tuesday evening, he came to my house.

01:05He was a tall man. He carried a small suitcase.

01:10He said,

01:11Thank you for letting me stay. I opened the door for him.

01:16He walked inside.

01:21I showed him his room, and he liked it.

01:25From that night, the man named Peter lived in my house.

01:30The first two days with the guest were nice.

01:44He woke up early each morning.

01:48He was a very quiet man, but he was always kind and polite.

01:54Peter told me he was a writer.

01:58He said he was working on a new book and needed a quiet place to think.

02:04I felt I could trust him.

02:06However, I began to notice strange things.

02:12For example, his phone would sometimes ring.

02:19But he never answered it.

02:22Not once.

02:23He would just let it ring until it stopped.

02:27Also, his laptop was always closed.

02:30When I walked into the living room, it was always shut.

02:36One night, I could not sleep.

02:38It was very late, maybe 2 o'clock in the morning.

02:43I went to the kitchen for some water.

02:46As I passed the living room window, I saw him.

02:51He was standing in the garden.

02:53He was looking out at the street.

02:56It looked like he was waiting for someone.

02:59I felt confused.

03:02When I asked him about it later, he just said,

03:05I like the night air.

03:08I did not ask any more questions, but his eyes made me feel uneasy.

03:14He was a very strange guest.

03:18On the third day, I was in my room, working on my computer.

03:24Suddenly, my phone rang.

03:29It was an unknown number.

03:32I felt surprised.

03:33I usually did not get calls from unknown numbers.

03:38I took a deep breath and answered.

03:41A man's voice said,

03:43Hello, this is Peter Collins.

03:45I could not believe what I heard.

03:49Sorry?

03:49I asked.

03:51I thought I must have heard wrong.

03:54The man on the phone spoke again.

03:58He said,

03:59I am calling about the room I rented.

04:03I will arrive next week.

04:05I just wanted to confirm the address for my stay.

04:09I froze.

04:11My hands started shaking.

04:14I could hear a sound from the kitchen.

04:17It was the man who was already in my house.

04:21I whispered into the phone,

04:24You said your name is Peter Collins.

04:27The man on the phone said,

04:29Yes, that's me.

04:31Is everything okay?

04:33I could not answer him.

04:36My mind was racing.

04:38The man in my kitchen was not Peter Collins.

04:41The real Peter Collins was on the phone,

04:45Talking about coming next week.

04:48This meant the man in my house was someone else.

04:52He was not who he said he was.

04:55He had lied.

04:56He was a stranger.

04:58Who was he?

05:00Why was he here?

05:01What did he want?

05:03My heart began to beat fast.

05:06I was alone with a man whose name I did not know.

05:09I was scared.

05:11But I had to be careful.

05:13I decided to ask him about himself.

05:16Peter, I said,

05:18Where did you say you were from?

05:20He looked at me and said,

05:22You don't remember?

05:23My throat felt dry.

05:25I said,

05:26Just remind me.

05:29He said,

05:29I think you already know.

05:32He knew.

05:33He knew that I knew he was not Peter.

05:35Oh, right.

05:36I said quickly.

05:38My memory is bad.

05:40I stood up from the table.

05:42I'm tired.

05:43I said,

05:44Good night.

05:45I did not look at him again.

05:47I walked quickly to my bedroom.

05:50I closed my bedroom door and turned the lock.

05:54I was not safe.

05:59The man was a stranger and he was not afraid.

06:03I felt alone.

06:04I had to leave the house.

06:06I opened my door slowly.

06:13I walked toward the front door.

06:16Then a voice came from behind me.

06:19Going somewhere, Allison.

06:21I turned around fast.

06:23He was standing in the living room.

06:26I just need to go to the store, I said.

06:29I hoped he would believe me.

06:31He walked towards me.

06:33He said,

06:34You already know, don't you?

06:36You know I am not Peter.

06:39My heart stopped.

06:40I could not breathe.

06:42Who are you?

06:44I said.

06:45He smiled and said,

06:47I am not here to hurt you, Allison.

06:49But I need you to listen to me.

06:52I did not listen.

06:54I did not want to hear anything more.

06:57I pushed him with all my strength.

07:00He stepped back a little.

07:01Near the door, on a small table, there was a metal lamp.

07:07I grabbed it, lifted it, and hit him.

07:11He cried and fell to the ground.

07:14I did not wait.

07:16I pulled the door open and ran outside my house.

07:21I began to scream for help.

07:23I was crying and shaking.

07:25My neighbors came outside.

07:29They quickly called the police.

07:32Soon, police cars arrived.

07:35Two officers came to me and asked what had happened.

07:40I told them about the stranger in my home.

07:44They listened carefully, then went inside my house to search for him.

07:49After some time, the officers came out.

07:54They told me the man was gone.

07:57Not only him, but all his things were gone, too.

08:02His suitcase, his clothes, everything had disappeared.

08:08It was like he had never been there.

08:11My house was empty and quiet again.

08:16The police checked security cameras, but they found nothing.

08:22No one had seen him leave.

08:25They asked me for his name, and I said, Peter.

08:30They searched for a man named Peter Collins, but there was no record of anyone with that name or face.

08:39There were no fingerprints, no ID, no proof he had ever been in my house.

08:47It was a complete mystery.

08:50For many weeks after that night, I could not sleep.

08:54I was always scared.

08:56I felt like he could come back any time.

09:00Months passed.

09:01I moved to a new apartment and changed my phone number.

09:06I wanted a new, safe life.

09:09One evening, I came home and saw a key on my kitchen table.

09:15It was a house key.

09:16It was exactly like the key to my old house.

09:20How did it get there?

09:22Who put it on my table?

09:24My door was locked.

09:25My windows were closed.

09:27My mind began to race.

09:30He knew where I was.

09:32He had found me.

09:33I called the police quickly.

09:36They came and searched everywhere, but found nothing.

09:41Two years passed.

09:43The police tried to find the man for many months, but they never found him.

09:50The real Peter Collins, who had rented my room, was safe.

09:55He lived in another city and knew nothing about what had happened in my house.

10:02He did not know about the stranger.

10:06Sometimes I still saw him in my sleep.

10:09I knew he might come back one day.

10:12And if he did, I did not know what would happen.

10:16I was not sure if I could escape again.

10:22Maybe this time, I would not be so lucky.

10:26I was still waiting for the stranger to come back.
