00:00my girlfriend and i recently moved into our new house it's honestly the home we've been dreaming
00:20of the perfect fit for us we have a cat named bella whom we rescued together so everything
00:26felt perfect when we first moved in the only downside at first was the house to our right
00:32it looked abandoned as the owner had started renovating it but never finished
00:36the layout of the houses is such that on our right there's a space for the entrance to our back
00:41garden and next to that is the abandoned house's entrance to its back garden there's no fence
00:46separating the two as the owner removed it to install a new one but never completed the job
00:51leaving both back gardens with open access behind the abandoned house is another property
00:57separated by a fence from what we could see several young men lived there occasionally when we returned
01:04home we'd see them cutting through the neighbor's back garden to reach the front of the street
01:08we didn't think much of it at first maybe they knew the owner and had permission
01:13fast forward to our first night in the new house we were sitting in the back garden enjoying the space
01:18and looked up at the houses behind us just out of curiosity that's when we noticed a man staring
01:25blankly at us from a window he wasn't hiding it he made it very obvious there was no expression on his
01:32face and the room was dark which made the whole thing even more unsettling we assumed he was just
01:37curious about his new neighbors but after half an hour of that blank stare we decided to go inside
01:43the next few days were normal i went to work and my fiance continued unpacking one night we decided to
01:50sit in the garden again it was dark but we enjoyed looking at the stars and having deep conversations
01:56until we heard the makeshift wooden board fence being moved three men appeared standing there
02:02staring at us are you okay i asked knowing they wouldn't leave unless i said something
02:09the youngest looking one around 29 was holding a big bag and we had no idea what was inside he
02:15offered us some stolen washing up tablets which we declined i made a joke about it because the
02:21situation felt so awkward he smiled and said okay and then they left what struck me was how they just
02:28let themselves into our garden without saying anything like as if they had every right to be there
02:34we went back inside thinking it was a one-off but it all started getting worse from there
02:39they began helping themselves into our garden more often and acting in ways that were clearly meant to
02:44intimidate us they would get into the next door house by lifting up the fence that separated the
02:48back gardens and walking through i forgot to mention my girlfriend and i are both 20 years old so of
02:55course the idea that they might be trying to intimidate us as two young women was the first thing that
02:59crossed our minds one day while i was cleaning the front room two police officers came around
03:04the side of our house and entered the abandoned garden they lifted up the fence and looked around
03:09for a few minutes before leaving without saying anything i thought it was strange but continued with
03:14my day assuming maybe the people next door were trouble a few days later the police knocked on our
03:21door they explained that the house behind us was now vacant the men had been kicked out for
03:26anti-social behavior apparently not just towards us but with other neighbors too honestly we were
03:32relieved even though they hadn't physically done anything yet it meant they wouldn't get the chance
03:37to escalate things we continued settling into the house but one day while i was in the bath i heard a
03:44loud bang outside i quickly got dressed and ran to find my girlfriend i found her recording something
03:51from our spare bedroom window which faces the garden of the now empty house i asked what was going on
03:57but she shushed me after a moment she explained a man we had never seen before pointed up at our
04:03bedroom window and when she noticed him he sprinted full speed toward our house he tried our door handle
04:10on the way past then ran back into the garden threw the broken fence up and started banging on all the
04:15windows of the empty house we called the police immediately they came watched the video took a
04:22statement and left we were shaken why would they try our door handle and then break into that house
04:28what was he planning a few nights later while we were in bed we heard whistling the kind of whistle
04:34men use to harass women it was 2 16 a.m we listened quietly and then heard someone tapping on our window
04:43terrified we checked the cameras but for some reason they didn't record anything whoever it was must
04:49have left shortly after because the noises stopped we were too scared to sleep so the next day we went
04:55to my mom's and stayed the night when we returned the following morning we noticed our ring doorbell had
05:01been removed and placed on the floor the sd card was gone someone had clearly come back and we knew who it
05:08was who else would do that we called the police again and they told us to keep all the doors and
05:14windows locked the woman on the phone even said that the removal of the camera could be a sign that
05:18they were planning something which terrified us even more but at least she was honest the whistling
05:25banging and attempts to re-enter the house continued for weeks we made multiple police reports they never
05:31tried our door again so we hoped it was over but three weeks later while in bed watching funny clips from
05:38our camera we checked the live feed that's when we saw a man outside wearing a black mask covering
05:44his mouth and nose with his hood up standing in front of our garden with his arms spread wide
05:49like he was imitating jesus on the cross he stared up at our bedroom window with his head tilted
05:55we froze at the time we had moved the camera inside the house so it didn't record we were so shaken we
06:02didn't even think to screen record he then spoke but we couldn't hear what he said then he turned
06:08around walked to the opposite side of the street and just stood there staring at our house for about
06:1330 minutes we called the police again they said it wasn't illegal to stare at someone's property and
06:19dismissed the whole thing even when we told them what he did on our lawn they made us feel like we were
06:24overreacting we couldn't sleep for days any noise outside terrified us even normal ones then one
06:32night at 2 52 am we got a notification i woke my girlfriend and said someone's outside i know it
06:40please check the camera she did and there they were two masked men coming from the side of our house
06:47shining flashlights into our windows one of them the same man who had been harassing us was holding what
06:53looked like a crowbar why us what was the point of this for days on end he would stand across the
07:00street pointing waving or shouting things up at our window every time we looked he would stare blankly at
07:07us it was clearly meant to scare us and it worked we kept contact in the police but they've done very
07:14little the harassment continues we've got cameras now and we record everything but we feel powerless
07:21just earlier today he stood outside again staring up at us we got it on video and we're absolutely
07:27terrified but we'll update if anything else happens let me preface this by saying i'm not crazy i know how
07:44this is going to sound paranoid unhinged delusional but i swear everything i'm about to tell you actually
07:50happened it started with a face or more accurately faces that all looked just slightly off three months
07:59ago i ended a relationship with my ex caleb we'd been together almost two years and the breakup was
08:05long overdue caleb wasn't violent or anything he never hit me but he was controlling and possessive in
08:11that low-key and calculating kind of way perhaps the worst kind of way he'd do things like track
08:17when i'm on my phone and quiz me on things i'd done that day to see if i'd give the same answer twice
08:23after i left him i changed my number disabled my social media and even moved apartments i thought i
08:29was in the clear then came the barista it was a tuesday morning i stopped by this little hole in the
08:36wall coffee shop near my new place i'd only been there once or twice as i stepped up to the counter
08:42the barista a girl about my age smiled at me but something about her expression made me pause
08:48she tilted her head and said good morning sunshine i froze because that was caleb's nickname for me
08:55it was not a common one he used to say it sarcastically whenever i was upset like what's wrong
09:00sunshine he enjoyed pushing buttons i brushed it off maybe it was a coincidence but then it happened
09:07again a few days later i took a ride share to work a different driver than usual older guy maybe in his
09:1450s he kept glancing in the rearview mirror like he was trying to recognize me and then he asked me if
09:20i ever figured out what i was running from he said it as casual as could be i simply responded what and
09:26he just chuckled and shook his head like i was in on some joke caleb said that to me once after i
09:33told him i needed time to figure myself out he leaned in dead serious and asked ever figure out what
09:38you're running from now two strangers have repeated things he said word for word it kept happening
09:46a woman at the grocery store bumped into me and whispered you don't get to just disappear a guy on
09:52the street said still wearing your hair like that as he passed another one someone who worked in my
09:58building said you always liked this song while humming the exact tune caleb used to play when we
10:03argued it wasn't their faces that freaked me out it was the way they looked at me like they knew me
10:09or at least thought they did they all had different faces but their eyes all had the same expressions
10:15i started thinking i was going crazy i mean what else could explain it so i did something i wasn't
10:20proud of i contacted caleb not directly i sent a message to his sister i told her to tell him to
10:28stop i figured maybe he hired a private investigator maybe he was stalking me or pulling strings telling
10:34people things about me i just wanted it to stop she texted back the next day saying i don't know what
10:41you're talking about caleb's in rehab he's been there for six weeks with no phone i didn't believe her
10:47i thought she was covering for him that is until i saw a picture she posted of him on facebook a week
10:52later looking pale and sunken in holding one of those one day sober chips so it couldn't be caleb
10:59or at least not directly i couldn't shake the feeling that these strangers knew things they shouldn't
11:05though one night i stayed late at work i didn't want to go home because my apartment didn't feel safe
11:11anymore not that anything bad happened inside of it i just didn't like being alone around 10 pm i
11:18finally called it a night i walked the 10 minutes to my place keeping my head down headphones in but
11:24no music playing something i learned to do so i could still hear if someone was following me
11:29when i turned the corner onto my block i saw someone sitting on the stoop of the building across from
11:34mine a young man with his hoodie up but his head down i almost ignored him until he spoke
11:40he said cold out tonight huh sunshine i stopped walking he didn't look at me he just stared at
11:47the sidewalk like he was reading something on it i slowly walked past and didn't say a word
11:53when i reached my building i went upstairs and locked every bolt on the door i sat on the couch
11:58for hours just listening to nothing eventually i fell asleep the next morning i woke up to find my
12:06doormat flipped over that might not sound like a big deal but i live alone and the door to my unit is
12:12on the top floor you don't just accidentally walk by my place the underside of my mat had something
12:18scribbled in pen it said you can change your face too if you want but i'll still recognize you
12:24i didn't know what it meant but i still threw up that day i booked a hotel for the weekends i left my
12:30apartment without packing anything i didn't feel safe even grabbing clothes i just needed to be
12:35somewhere crowded the hotel clerk gave me a room on the fourth floor it was small quiet and kind of
12:41stuffy but it felt safe but only until around 2 a.m when someone knocked on my door there were three
12:49slow knocks i sat up in bed and waited they knocked again eventually i peeked through the peephole and
12:57it was a woman maybe in her 40s her face was totally blank and expressionless she was just staring straight
13:04at the door she didn't say anything so i didn't make a sound and eventually she left it was one of the
13:12most disturbing things i'd ever seen the next morning i asked the front desk if someone had come by to my
13:18room they said no one should have been up there especially that late all the rooms on my floor
13:23were vacant that's when it clicked these weren't random people they were being sent and fed my
13:29details they were given phrases caleb used but if it weren't caleb who would do it and why i thought
13:37about caleb in rehab about his obsession with control and making sure i was never fully gone
13:43he didn't need to be the one knocking he just needed to send others to do it
13:46so i started digging and there was one conversation i remembered for months before the breakup
13:51caleb talking about a forum he was on a place where people shared tactics he made it sound like
13:57it was for productivity or self-improvement i don't remember the name of it honestly i don't think he
14:03ever gave me the name but in retrospect it sounded like some creepy cultish roleplay crap except it's
14:10happening to me for real someone probably caleb had hired people to say his words and mimic his patterns
14:17so that even if he was out of my life technically i'd still be constantly reminded of him it wasn't
14:22stalking in the traditional sense it was psychological graffiti like he was spraying himself onto strangers
14:29so i could never be sure who i was looking at i don't think it's about watching me but rather about
14:34making sure i never stopped watching for him i moved again and disappeared off social media again
14:40i even dyed my hair i told friends not to tell anyone where i was it worked until last week i was
14:47walking home from the bookstore and a woman passed me on the street and said still hiding behind books
14:52sunshine she didn't stop walking even just to look at me i don't think this will ever stop maybe he
14:59paid some crazy underground service to do this to me for a year who knows maybe he made it public
15:05maybe this is some sick underground game now who can scare sunshine the best who can get the closest
15:11without touching i can't trust anyone's face anymore the constant paranoia is truly eating away at my mental
15:18health
15:28my family is a group of home bodies that don't travel so everyone was surprised when my aunt proposed a trip
15:33to one of michigan's great lakes we agreed wanting to create new memories together my cousin booked a
15:39spacious airbnb that could somehow accommodate all 18 of us which felt like a miracle considering the price
15:46the house sat right on the beach with gorgeous lake views that stretched for miles almost like an ocean
15:52most of us claimed rooms in the main house but because of our large group some of us were placed
15:56in a second building directly behind it a two-story garage with bedrooms upstairs my three cousins and
16:02i were assigned to sleep there at first we didn't think much of it we spent most of the first day
16:08enjoying the hot tub relaxing on the beach and soaking in the scenery it wasn't until night that we
16:14entered the garage for real the space was outdated and neglected with carpeted bathrooms that smelled
16:19like mold stained bed linens and a poorly secured latch on the door clearly the cleaners focused on
16:25the main home and ignored the garage my cousins were grossed out and refused to sleep on the beds unless
16:31we washed the sheets so i suggested we do laundry the machines were small so we could only do one set of
16:37bed sheets at a time and it was obvious we'd be up late we passed time upstairs waiting for the first
16:43load my cousin maria complained about how we got stuck with the worst place and as she spoke i started
16:50to feel uneasy like something bad was coming i've had this feeling before a rare kind of intuition that
16:57usually ends in a nightmare or something worse i told my cousins to stay alert and they listened
17:03especially since we'd all experienced a break-in before when we lived in detroit around midnight
17:08the bell rang from the first floor signaling the wash was done i went downstairs alone swapped the
17:14load into the dryer and brought up the clean smelling sheets when my cousins saw how clean they were they
17:20wanted their bedding wash too so i kept going up and down between cycles doing everyone's sheets
17:26at around 2 37 a.m we were finally done we made the beds and were too tired to stay up any longer
17:33my cousin nikki insisted we leave the light on and while they all fell asleep quickly i stayed up
17:38doing some schoolwork on my phone i'm a light sleeper something that stuck with me since the break-in
17:44and i remained hyper aware of my surroundings even while half asleep then around 3 a.m a loud bang hit
17:51the garage door like someone had thrown their body against it i sat up startled but my cousins didn't move
17:58i tried telling myself it was just wind though the noise was too heavy for that still i stayed quiet and
18:05tried to sleep but then it happened again same deafening crash this time shaking the garage door
18:13the building trembled from the impact i was fully awake now watching the lamp lit room as my cousins
18:19continued to sleep no animal or gust of wind could cause that 20 minutes later the third boom hit the
18:27garage shook again and finally two of my cousins bolted upright i asked if they heard that already
18:33knowing the answer nikki asked what that was and i said i don't know but this is the third time i'm
18:38hearing it we all agreed no wind could cause that sound nikki suggested texting her mom my aunt so
18:45we did it was 4 11 a.m when she responded realizing something serious must be going on she woke my uncle
18:53who ran outside to check the property we stayed upstairs too afraid to move until we heard knocking
19:00it was my uncle at the door and when we opened it we saw him standing there with my dad and a few of
19:05our older male cousins that's when i knew it was serious there was no wind no one playing around
19:12my uncle told us to grab our things that were going to the main house then he said there was
19:16someone on the property and that's what made my heart sink i threw everything into my suitcase and
19:22we all rushed out of the garage once inside the main house most of the family woke up from the noise
19:28and commotion we sat in the living room trying to piece it all together i told them about the first two
19:34loud crashes and my cousins confirmed the third my aunt explained that when my uncle went out to
19:39investigate she followed him he shouted hey at someone standing behind the garage the door to the
19:45main house slammed behind her right then and there was no wind to explain it she feared someone might
19:51have slipped into the house so she ran to wake my dad and cousins after searching no one else was found
19:57inside then my uncle described what he saw a man stood behind the garage not hiding or moving but
20:04staring like he wanted to be seen when my uncle called out the man didn't flinch he simply walked away
20:11and vanished not into the darkness but into thin air the leaves on the ground didn't crunch and there
20:17were no footsteps left behind my uncle's not someone who makes up stories either he's a serious
20:22logical man which made everything scarier my brothers added that they found two jester cards
20:28one in the main house and one in the garage the one in the garage was twisted and demonic looking
20:35one cousin pointed out that jesters symbolize mockery and the loud sounds happened around 3am
20:40the so-called devil's hour it was as if we were being taunted my uncle had even checked for footprints
20:46but saw only his and my cousins not the man's another cousin drove down the road during the incident
20:52try and spot someone fleeing but found no one that day no one returned to the garage we squeezed
20:59into the main house on floors couches anywhere there was room my mom gave up her bed so we could
21:05sleep more comfortably on the second night she slept on a couch by the large windows and woke around 4am
21:11to footsteps on the porch she didn't dare open her eyes she was afraid of seeing someone looking in
21:18then she heard someone trying the basement door it had a weak lock and my brothers and male cousins
21:24were sleeping down there the door rattled as someone tried to break in my mom rushed to the basement but
21:30by the time she reached the beachside entrance no one was there and all the boys were still fast asleep
21:37that was our last night though we planned to stay until tuesday we left monday instead on the way home
21:43we couldn't stop talking about what had happened when my mom found out i had been going downstairs
21:48alone during laundry she theorized that someone might have been watching me and thought i was
21:52alone in the garage the time between my last trip downstairs and us going to sleep lined up way too
21:58well with the banging sounds theories started to form some of us thought it was a neighbor trying to
22:04scare us off others believed there was something paranormal especially because of the jester cards
22:09my aunt pointed out that a normal person would have run when my uncle spotted them but this
22:14man didn't run he just watched and disappeared we contacted the rbnb host who claimed she'd review the
22:21footage from the camera above the garage door but we never heard back it made us wonder did she know
22:26the man was he a neighbor when we first arrived my sister and cousin had walked the beach and passed a
22:33woman next door she watched them coldly without friendliness or a greeting just an unfriendly gaze
22:40the house was in the middle of nowhere and we understood how constant airbnb guests might annoy locals
22:46but we were respectful we didn't deserve what happened this was our first family trip and hopefully not
22:52our last even after everything we went through
