00:00we moved into my grandparents house in 2016 when they decided to downsize i was nine they had built
00:15the place in the early 90s and it sits on five acres out on the outskirts of a small southern
00:20town woods and open fields stretch around it and a slow muddy river winds past our southern fence
00:27line on two sides our property touches our only neighbor's land an odd crooked patch of acreage
00:34with a house that felt like it was sinking into the ground that house was old the original farmhouse
00:40had been built in the 1920s and over the years it had been added onto in all the wrong ways like
00:46someone stapled extra rooms together without a plan the siding was discolored and soft looking
00:52every time you glanced at it it just looked wet even on dry days the yard was a nightmare overgrown
00:59bushes tangled with vines broken fountains surrounded by weeds gnomes missing heads and old trash that
01:06looked like it had been there for years grocery bags flapped in the tree branches a rusted lawnmower sat
01:12in the middle of the grass like it had died mid-job and was never moved it was the place that made you
01:17want to hold your breath when you walked by at the time the house was home to two elderly sisters violet
01:24and agnes and three kids violet was the quieter of the two always sitting on the porch in a faded green
01:30rocking chair just watching the trees agnes was sharper and more active but she still moved like her
01:37bones hurt both women were in their 70s at least the kids were their grandchildren the boy liam was my
01:44age and in my grade at school the other two were girls named allison and kelsey they were the same
01:50age as my younger sister liam was weird i didn't like him and i didn't want to hang out with him
01:57but we were in the same class so we got lumped together a lot he took that as permission to just
02:02show up at my house whenever he wanted no knocking or texting i'd be playing a game in my room and turn
02:09around and he'd just be there one time i looked out my window and saw him doing cannonballs in our pool
02:15another time he walked straight into the kitchen opened our fridge and started eating a slice of
02:21leftover pizza with his hands like it was no big deal when we hung out he wasn't fun he was obsessed
02:28with anime like really obsessed but i didn't watch any so i had no idea what he was talking about
02:34he'd say weird lines in japanese and get mad when i didn't laugh sometimes he'd get this look in his
02:40eyes like he was imagining something violent one time he chased me with a pair of sharp garden shears
02:46swinging them around and laughing like it was a game another time we were on an old wooden bridge that
02:52crosses the creek near the back of our properties and i swear he tried to push me in he claimed it was a
02:57joke but the way he smiled after i knew he meant it the twins were different quiet and almost invisible
03:05their clothes were always dirty and they had speech impediments that made it hard to understand them
03:10it was obvious nobody at home was helping them their voices were garbled like they were still toddlers
03:16even though they were seven they flinched easily and they always looked hungry their dad was in and out
03:22of jail so he wasn't around and that brings us to the mom teresa the first time i saw her she was
03:29trying to hook a hose up to the spigot at the edge of their property right near our side yard she was
03:34tall way taller than anyone else in her family and heavy set with long thick curly black hair and
03:41glasses that looked like they belonged in the 80s she was different put together in a way that the rest of
03:47the family wasn't her clothes were clean her hair was always styled too she smiled at me like she'd
03:54been waiting for me to come over she asked me if i could help her with the faucet and said it was stuck
04:00i walked over and turned it and it moved easily she gasped and clapped her hands told me i was so
04:06strong and how lucky she was i came over i felt proud she made me feel like i was something special
04:13then she said did you know you have a third eye i blinked what she smiled wider and said we all have
04:20one not a physical eye but a spiritual one she said it lets you see the truth whatever that meant
04:28before i could ask anything she started walking back toward her house and told me to come with her
04:33so i did the inside of their house hit me like a wave of rot it smelled like spoiled food mildew and
04:41something worse i couldn't place trash was everywhere garbage bags torn open rotting food on plates
04:48stained furniture even dirty diapers were stuffed behind the couch i tried to leave but teresa grabbed
04:55my wrist and led me upstairs her room was nothing like the rest of the house it was pristine with pink
05:01wallpaper clean carpet shelves full of porcelain dolls and very ornate old furniture the air smelled like
05:08rose water and old perfume it was like i stepped into a different building she gestured for me to
05:14sit on a little cushioned stool in the corner and then walked over to her vanity and opened a drawer
05:20she pulled out a silver tray with a black candle a crystal and a thick leather-bound book the second
05:26i saw the pentagram on the cover my stomach turned my parents are catholic i knew what that symbol meant
05:32and suddenly i started seeing it everywhere on the jewelry box on the mirror's frame and peeking out
05:39from under the corner of the rug on the floor etched into the wood i jumped up sorry my mom wants me
05:45home bye i didn't wait for a response i ran in 2019 agnes had a heart attack and died inside the house
05:54i heard she collapsed in the living room in front of all the kids i went to the funeral it was in this
06:00run-down baptist church on the edge of town the family was stone-faced like they didn't know how
06:05to react except for one woman who i'd never seen before she sat in the second pew sobbing so loud
06:12it echoed nobody acknowledged her that same year liam disappeared the story was that he tried to kill
06:20one of the twins and was sent to a psychiatric facility i never got the full details but my parents
06:25sat my sister and i down that night and said in no uncertain terms we were never to go near that
06:31family again i remember their faces grim and serious that's when it all clicked all the little
06:38things i hadn't understood the weird stuff the fear eventually the rest of the family moved away
06:44they left violet behind just an old frail woman living alone in that collapsing house
06:49she passed away in 2020 alone in that house her estate went up for auction a few months later one
06:58of my old elementary school teachers mrs s bought it with her husband they tore down most of the
07:04structure but kept the original 1920 section the same part where teresa's room had been mrs s invited
07:10us over to see the renovations it was beautiful open floor plan all new appliances and fresh paint
07:18she showed us upstairs and that's when my skin started crawling we were in her room and i could
07:24feel it even though the floors were carpeted now i knew the pentagram was still there like the floor
07:30remembered i felt nauseous like something was watching me from the walls i told mrs s i had a headache
07:37and had to go she was disappointed i was supposed to stay for dinner i avoided the house after that until
07:44last year mrs s asked me to dog sit while they went out of town for a week i said yes i figured it was
07:52just a job easy money every night i'd ring the doorbell and they'd buzz me in through the smart
07:58lock their dogs the shih tzu named muffin and a snorting little pug named henry would greet me
08:03tails wagging the first four nights were quiet peaceful even i'd feed the dogs play with them a bit
08:10turn on the porch light and lock up but on the last night i was about to leave when henry started
08:17barking at the staircase he planted his little legs and just barked over and over muffin backed away
08:24whimpering there was nothing there and then thump it came from upstairs another thump louder this time
08:34i didn't stay to investigate i ran to the front door slammed it behind me and locked it the whole
08:40walk home i couldn't shake the feeling something had followed me now it's 2025 we hadn't heard a
08:46word about the family in over four years that is until recently a girl from school told me she saw
08:52teresa at a farmers market in a nearby town apparently she started some kind of religious group calls
08:59herself a truth seer they live in a mobile home community far out in the woods flyers have started
09:05popping up on bulletin boards and telephone poles i don't trust it i don't trust her i think teresa is
09:13truly evil i mean she neglected her kids she left her mother in that house to rot and i think she
09:19brought something into it something dark something that stayed behind i still have nightmares of her and
09:26liam they stand at the foot of my bed staring at me not speaking at all and every time i pass by that
09:32house even now i get chills the good parts such as the paint the furniture it's all surface level
09:40that place remembers and i don't think it ever let go of what happened there
09:54my name is keegan i reside in michigan with my parents high school was a decent timeline for me
10:00as i had gotten to meet various new people during my time there obviously i also had some people i
10:06tended to hang out with outside of school the only time i really hung out with them was at places like
10:11my local community center where we would work out and play basketball back in freshman year it was
10:17getting close to the end of the year and i was excited for summer break to be coming i would be
10:22starting driver's training and even start doing a side job to at least begin making money so i didn't
10:27have the fastest start i had this one friend named clayton i would usually hang out with him at least
10:33once a week he was a grade lower than me his final year of junior high we were to some extent good
10:40friends and my dad and i even took him to a detroit pistons basketball game at one point he was quite
10:46a big basketball fan so he was more than eager to attend his first game despite all the fun activities
10:52in the past it was until i started becoming more busy that he was somewhat beginning to change
10:58he would usually get a bit sad or angry because i'm not free on a specific day he was the kind of
11:03person to have some pretty intense anger issues when he got pissed off enough i remember this one day when
11:08i told him i wasn't free again and that i would be home cleaning it seemed as if you would find the
11:13right days where i'm not available to hang out i didn't check my phone until after i finished cleaning
11:19and i found out that he removed me on snapchat i messaged him on messenger asking why he got so mad
11:25and why he decided to remove me as a friend he assumed i was lying to avoid hanging out with him
11:31that thought crossed my mind for a while and i even followed up with it at times because he was
11:35starting to become more obnoxious on occasion i would lie and say i'm doing something going somewhere
11:41or already made plans with another friend he felt so left out that one day when the sun had set
11:48he showed up to my apartment i was living in at the time unannounced i asked him why he didn't text
11:53me ahead of time nothing he just stared at me for a few seconds before walking away slowly
11:59why was he here at this hour why didn't he say anything why did he just give me this thousand
12:04yard stare as if i did something to offend him i hadn't spoken to him the next day that's also when
12:11i turned off my snap map on snapchat to hide my location from him after he apparently added me back
12:17some time had gone by about a month and he's still the same person angry or sad when i can't pay him
12:23a visit that's when i got a text from my friend nick who i barely saw in person he knows clayton and
12:29his ex-girlfriend nick had told me some gruesome things about him and what he's done but my heart
12:35dropped as i heard from him and clayton's ex that he held a knife at his ex-girlfriend's throat and
12:40sexually assaulted her i knew that he was a psycho right then and there i removed him as a friend on
12:47all platforms without any hesitation he texted me on instagram before i removed him on there too
12:53he blew up my phone with messages asking why i'm removing him i just told him i needed some time to
12:59myself and i would add him back when i'm better but i used that as an excuse to get away from him
13:04that night while i was home alone since my parents went to the next town over for dinner with some old
13:08friends of theirs i heard a knock at my apartment door i looked out of the peephole and no one was
13:14there i opened the door a crack to survey the hallway but no one i figured it was someone ding
13:20dong ditching i figured they wouldn't come back but when i randomly looked out my bedroom window the
13:25light was burned out by the sidewalk i noticed a small flash in the corner of my eye and i thought
13:31it was from inside someone's car but i felt my stomach drop when i saw a tall figure standing in
13:36front of my window it was him i opened my window and told him to go away and that i don't want him
13:42here he told me to let him in so he could tell me something i firmly said no and told him i want him
13:49gone but when he began to move around a bit i noticed something was in his hand i couldn't exactly make out
13:55what he was holding until he held it up and when i tell you i was frightened i felt as if i was going to
14:00pass out because i shit you not clayton was holding a knife in his hand i told him i was calling the
14:06police but he had already taken off by the time the police had gotten there i gave the best description
14:12of him that i could describe to the cops i haven't heard a word about or from him since that horrific
14:17night i honestly wouldn't be so surprised if you were trying to kill me while i was home alone i believe
14:23he had murderous intentions i assumed he probably ended up in juvie after what happened not only was
14:30i horrified from that experience but it may have been one of the most traumatic moments of my life
14:35having your parents gone along with it makes it feel undeniably more unsettling i'm glad i
14:40disconnected all contact from him when i did because i think if i continued to remain friends with him
14:45i probably could have ended up as one of his endless punching bags or even worse dead
15:01this happened in late 2022 when i went on what i thought would be a fun and simple first date with
15:06someone i matched with on a dating app her name was emily and we had been texting for about two weeks
15:11before deciding to meet up we both shared a love for horror movies and when smile came out we agreed
15:17that seeing it together would be the perfect first date we picked a weekday night thursday it was a
15:24late showing 10 15 pm and at a small older theater just outside of town i offered to drive and picked
15:31her up around 9 30. she seemed normal friendly maybe a little shy she was quiet for most of the drive but
15:38opened up once we started talking about horror movies we liked growing up when we got there
15:43the parking lot was almost empty i joked about how this theater looked like something out of a horror
15:48movie itself dim lights flickering neon and not a single person in the lobby when we walked in
15:55there was only one guy working at the concession counter and when i asked if it was going to be a
15:59full theater he laughed and said we were the only ones who had bought tickets for that showing
16:03at first i thought that was great no crowds just me her and the movie we went into theater six and
16:11chose seats right in the center about four rows from the back it was freezing in there which emily
16:17pointed out right away i offered her my hoodie and we laughed about how creepy it felt being the
16:22only ones in the entire room we sat back and talked while waiting for the previews to start
16:28i was starting to feel a little chemistry between us and i figured this would be one of those dates
16:32where you actually end up seeing the person again then right before the movie started like right
16:37after the last trailer and just as the lights dimmed lower i noticed movement from the corner of my eye
16:43someone walked into the theater they didn't say anything or stop to look around or check their
16:48phone for seat numbers like most people do they walked in slow straight up the steps and sat directly
16:54behind us i mean directly there were maybe 100 open seats but he chose the one right behind me
17:02emily turned to look at him too and she gave me a weird glance like really i kind of chuckled and sat
17:08under my breath figures but right away something felt off you know that feeling when someone's eyes are
17:15burning into the back of your head that's what it felt like i glanced back after a minute or two
17:20he wasn't watching the screen he was staring at us i only saw him for a split second but he didn't
17:27flinch or look away he didn't even pretend to be interested in the movie he was just sitting forward a
17:33bit like someone might do if they were really into a scene but his face wasn't even turned toward the
17:38screen it was angled right at us at me i whispered to emily he's just staring she nodded slowly and
17:47whispered back i know we tried to ignore it for a while the movie started and i really did try to
17:54get into it but every few minutes i'd feel it again the presence behind us not just someone being
18:01annoying this was different there was an intensity to it like he was waiting for something after about
18:0820 minutes i leaned forward in my seat and turned my head a little so i could glance back more casually
18:14same thing he was still staring he was middle-aged maybe late 40s he was clean-shaven kind of pale
18:23wearing a dark gray hoodie something about him just looked empty like he wasn't even there mentally
18:29his eyes didn't look glazed over like someone who was zoning out from what i saw he never blinked
18:35i turned back around and whispered to emily this guy is really creeping me out she looked genuinely
18:41scared now do you want to move we considered it but where would we go it would still be in the same
18:48room and we were already in the best seats moving might make it awkward or even provoke him a few
18:54minutes later i felt something the guy breathed on me not loud or exaggerated it was soft but unmistakable
19:03a deep slow exhale right behind my seat i spun around and he was leaning forward over the back
19:10of my seat his face closer than it should have been i stared at him and said dude can you not
19:16he didn't respond he just slowly leaned back in his seat that was it i told emily let's move
19:24we got up and walked down to the front corner row it sucked and the angle was bad but we needed distance
19:30i could barely focus on the movie anymore just kept glancing back every couple of minutes and
19:35every time i looked back there he was staring straight at us he didn't budge around halfway
19:42through the movie we heard footsteps he was coming down the steps emily grabbed my arm and we both held
19:48still the footsteps stopped a few rows above us we didn't turn around i don't know how long he stood there
19:56i didn't dare look then finally he walked back up to the top row i whispered we need to leave she
20:04nodded we grabbed our stuff and slipped out quietly as we exited the theater and went down the hallway
20:11toward the lobby i glanced back through the glass window in the theater door he was standing in the
20:16aisle now he wasn't watching the screen he was just standing there still staring at us we went straight
20:23to the front and told the concession guy that someone was acting really weird in theater six
20:28his smile faded instantly and he said again what do you mean again i said and he hesitated then said
20:36he's been coming in randomly for like a month always late shows and never buys anything you guys aren't
20:42the first ones to complain about him i responded why hasn't anyone kicked him out he looked uncomfortable
20:48he said he doesn't technically do anything illegal management says unless he touches someone or
20:54breaks a rule we can't really do much emily was almost in tears she asked if someone could walk
21:00us to our car he agreed and one of the janitors walked us out the guy didn't follow us that night
21:06at least not that we saw let the whole ride back i couldn't shake this fear that he might have written
21:11down my license plate that he might have followed us at a distance watched us leave and found out where
21:17emily lived when i dropped her off for weeks afterward i was paranoid my cop friend also told
21:22me it was a load of horse that they couldn't do anything about him the theater as a business would
21:27reserve every right to kick somebody out i avoided that side of town for a while emily and i talked
21:33a few times after that but never ended up seeing each other again unfortunately i think we were both
21:38too shaken from what happened i have not been back to that theater since though i don't see any reviews
21:44on the website about the guy i wonder just how many people have actually had the same experience
