00:00i had spent a few days in austin visiting friends i live in louisiana so it's sort of an all-day
00:18drive on my last day in austin my old friend tom had commented on my instagram story asking when
00:25i leave and i said today he told me he lived an hour outside of austin which was actually in the
00:31direction home for me i hadn't seen tom in years and it would be nice to catch up he said i should
00:37stop by and i said sure why not i set my gps for tom's address and it said about an hour and a half
00:44drive tom and i had been friends back in high school but lost touch after graduation we followed
00:50each other on social media but hadn't really spoken in years when i pulled up i noticed his
00:56house was a little old-fashioned it wasn't run down or anything just aged the wooden porch creaked under
01:02my steps and when he opened the door i caught the scent of old wood and something rustic like an old
01:08cabin in the woods tom was of course very welcoming giving me a big hug and pulling me inside some
01:15friendships stayed just as pure no matter how much time passes the inside of the house was just as
01:21old as the outside the furniture looked like it had been around since the 70s and every step i took on
01:27the hardwood floors let out a small creek it felt kind of texas i guess it was kind of charming in a
01:33way like stepping back in time we sat down in his living room catching up on life drinking whiskey it was
01:40like 5 p.m by this point one drink turned into two two into three and before i knew it i was pretty
01:46drunk the warmth of the alcohol made the room feel smaller cozier but also heavier hours passed like
01:54minutes honestly we were having such a good time catching up that eventually he dropped the question
02:00i knew he'd ask hey man you got a long drive back why don't you crash here for the night he offered
02:06i hesitated but he was right i wasn't in any shape to be on the road i said yeah good idea and asked if
02:13i'd take the couch we were on and then he said nah i got a spare room it's nothing fancy but it's better
02:19than the couch that was good enough for me we ate some chinese food that we had delivered and after a
02:25while he led me down a short hallway to the spare bedroom i didn't pay much attention to the inside of
02:31the room because i was hammered we both were but i remember the air in the room was still like the
02:36room hadn't been used in a long time i barely had time to register my surroundings before i collapsed
02:42onto the bed completely exhausted and drunk sometime in the middle of the night i woke up my mouth was
02:49dry my head was spinning and the room was dark except for a little bit of moonlight sneaking in through
02:55the blinds that's when i saw it in the far corner of the room on the closet door there was something
03:01hanging at first it looked like a long black trench coat on a coat rack but as my eyes adjusted the
03:08shape of it felt wrong it had a broad upper portion almost like shoulders and the way it hung made it look
03:15less like fabric and more like a silhouette my heart pounded in my chest i didn't remember seeing that
03:21when i stumbled into the bed but i had been drunk maybe i just hadn't noticed i rolled over trying
03:28to ignore it it was just a coat nothing more but i couldn't help myself i peeked again still there
03:35i squeezed my eyes shut took a deep breath and forced myself to sleep i don't know how long i was
03:42out there before i woke up again it wasn't just discomfort that pulled me from sleep it was sound
03:48a slow soft creaking like someone stepping carefully on an old wooden floor my eyes shot open the room
03:58was dimly lit now dawn creeping through the blinds i turned my head toward the corner and my stomach
04:04dropped the coat was gone i sat up so fast that my head spun my body was buzzing with a sickening mix
04:12of fear and leftover alcohol i scanned the room my heart thudding against my ribs there was nothing in
04:20the corner just an empty closet door i threw the covers off and rushed to tom's room he was snoring
04:26completely unaware of the panic storming through me i shook him awake which took a lot of effort
04:32considering he was out from all that alcohol he finally woke up very confused rubbing his eyes
04:38the coat i said breathlessly the one on the coat rack in the spare room he squinted at me confused
04:45what coat he said the black trench coat the one that was hanging on the closet door
04:51it looked like a person almost tom sat up looking more awake now i don't own a trench coat man i don't
04:59even have a coat rack in that room he said i stared at him waiting for him to say he was messing with me
05:05that this was some kind of joke but his expression stayed serious come look i said he sighed but got
05:14up and followed me back to the spare bedroom i pointed to the exact spot it was right there i said
05:20tom scratched his head he asked me if i was sure i wasn't just dreaming but i said i know what i saw
05:27i insisted with my voice shaking slightly i woke up and it was there then i woke up again and it was
05:33gone i said we stood in the room for a few moments both of us feeling the same eerie silence pressing
05:40in on us tom finally exhaled and shook his head agreeing we should check the house just in case
05:46we searched every room every closet every corner nothing no signs of forced entry no weird coats
05:54hanging anywhere nothing that could explain what i saw eventually tom tried to convince me that maybe
06:00i had been in some kind of half dream state seeing things that weren't there i wanted to believe that
06:06really i didn't want to think about the alternative as soon as the sun was fully up i grabbed my stuff
06:12said goodbye and hit the road i almost felt guilty leaving him alone after that the whole drive back
06:18to louisiana my mind kept circling back to that moment waking up to that coat-like figure staring
06:24at me from the corner the way it was just gone in the morning maybe tom played a cruel prank on me
06:30but to this day he's never admitted to anything so i doubt that or maybe just maybe there had been
06:37someone in that house watching me sleep and they decided to leave before the morning came
06:42this happened to me when i was 18 years old i was on a trip with my parents and a friend of mine
06:57whom we can call anna this story takes place in sweden when we were on a road trip
07:02my parents anna and i were going on a domestic trip and we had an eight hour drive from home
07:08the plan was to visit a theme park and stay at a campsite but we hadn't booked one
07:12the day came and we arrived in the city where the theme park was located but we planned to visit it
07:18the next day so we needed a place to sleep since we had brought tents in our car my dad searched
07:24online for a nearby campsite he found one that seemed good and close by so he called the campsite
07:29unfortunately that day coincided with a big soccer tournament and the campsite was fully booked
07:35since we hadn't reserved a spot in advance there was no space left for us my dad called around but
07:42we couldn't find any campsites that were reasonably priced and near the theme park our only option was
07:47to find a camping spot in nature we set the gps to the nearest parking area in a forest to avoid parking
07:53fines eventually we found a spot in a nature reserve when we arrived there were some people
08:00around so we asked if it was okay to set up our tents there and whether it was a good place to stay
08:05a woman who was hiking told us it was a good place to sleep and that there were no parking attendants
08:10based on that we decided to sleep in a small lonely gravel parking lot we were surrounded by forest and
08:17a 10 minute walk away was a beach at first we considered setting up our tents on the beach but
08:23something told me it would be better to camp in the parking lot as we got out of the car to set up our
08:28shelter for the night i noticed a lone car parked further away in the lot it looked like it was in bad
08:34condition and there was no one inside i found it strange because it was already evening so there were
08:40no more people at the beach or hiking in the woods however i didn't think too much about it at the time
08:45i helped my parents set up our tents they were sleeping in one tent while anna and i shared the
08:51other with both tents placed close together after struggling to build them we finally finished
08:57anna and i made our tent cozy watched youtube and ate snacks by this time it was around 11 pm we wanted
09:05to sleep at a decent hour so we wouldn't be too tired the next day after a while around midnight we
09:11decided to sleep at this point my parents were already asleep in their tent anna and i were
09:17scrolling through tiktok when we suddenly heard a metallic sound from the parking lot it sounded like
09:23a shovel being thrown onto the gravel we both jumped in fear and asked each other what it could be
09:29too scared to peek out of the tent window we chose to stay silent and listen the sound had come from
09:35the same direction as the abandoned car we then heard what i assumed was a shovel being thrown into the
09:40car's trunk followed by the trunk slamming shut we sat in silence our hearts pounding then we heard
09:47the car speed off as if someone were trying to get away quickly i texted a friend from a nearby city
09:53telling him where we were staying he replied warning me that the beach nearby was known to be dangerous
09:59with organized criminals often engaging in illegal activities there we had no idea about this before
10:05when i read my friend's message i felt cold and deeply unsettled about 10 minutes passed in silence
10:13after the car sped away anna and i had started to calm down a little when out of nowhere we heard the
10:19loudest most blood-curdling scream from a man coming from the woods we were absolutely horrified
10:27i immediately texted my mom telling her we just heard a loud scream when she didn't respond i called
10:33her phone to wake her up she finally answered and said neither she nor my dad heard anything
10:39she reassured me that it was probably nothing serious but at that moment i couldn't think of
10:45any normal reason for someone to scream like that anna and i crawled onto the blankets terrified
10:50not knowing what was happening every minute felt like an hour even though it was midnight we were
10:56too scared to sleep suddenly everything became eerily silent then my blood ran cold i heard footsteps
11:05someone was walking around our tents moving stealthily anna and i sat up frozen in fear i put my
11:12phone down so that its light wouldn't illuminate the tent my heart was racing and i could hear my own
11:18pulse there was no logical reason for anyone to be walking around our tents in the middle of the
11:23forest at this hour the footsteps moved around our tent first then toward my parents tent and then
11:29circled around our car which was parked nearby the person stopped and seemed to be looking at our tents
11:35for a moment there was complete silence then i heard the same car from earlier returning its headlights
11:42lit up our tents and anna and i quickly laid down to avoid being seen i gathered the courage
11:48to peek through the small tent window i saw the car door slam shut before it sped off again
11:53i felt a brief moment of relief when the person left from my vantage point i could see the road
11:59they had driven down five minutes later i saw another car approaching fast it was a police car
12:06racing in the same direction the other car had gone nothing else happened after that anna and i were
12:12still shaken so we decided to sit in the locked car to feel safer i stayed awake until around 5 am
12:18keeping watch over the forest while anna eventually fell asleep beside me after about an hour we went
12:24back to our tent and out of sheer exhaustion finally fell asleep we woke up around 9 am completely drained
12:32i told my mom everything that happened and she revealed that she had also heard the footsteps but when
12:37the person was near their tent she had also heard heavy breathing like the kind you hear in horror
12:42movies during a scary phone call she had been terrified too however my dad had slept through the
12:48whole thing so we had to tell him the story without hesitation we immediately packed our things and the
12:54tents eager to leave as soon as possible none of us wanted to stay there any longer despite the
13:01terrifying night we had a good time at the theme park later that day however that evening i decided to
13:07research the forest where we had camped what i found made my stomach drop just a short time before our
13:13visit a man had been murdered there stabbed to death due to gang related debts even more disturbingly
13:20two men had gone missing from that exact beach and had never been found i couldn't stop thinking about
13:26it what if the person walking around our tents was a dangerous individual checking to see if there were
13:31any witnesses what if we had been in serious danger without realizing it even now i still think about
13:37that night who made that horrifying scream and why was someone using a shovel in the middle of the night
13:43in a forest and the police what exactly were they chasing i guess i'll never know
13:49this is a story that still haunts me when i think about it even though i was so young when it happened
14:03six is around the age where a lot of my childhood memories start to become more clear
14:08i have one sibling my older brother keith keith is two years older than me so at the time he was eight
14:15when i was six i had a strict bedtime 8 30 if i didn't abide by it or our dad caught either of us
14:23up past our bedtime we'd be in serious trouble our dad was always strict with us as kids honestly i
14:29don't remember if this happened on a school night or not but i woke up in the middle of the night to
14:33keith shaking me awake keith and i shared a big bedroom upstairs in the house my parents room was
14:39on the first floor of the house i was confused why keith was waking me up until he told me in a
14:44whisper to be quiet and listen and i did listen and i heard what he was talking about it was our mom's
14:50voice calling for us downstairs but it was in a very quiet whisperish type of voice i was going to get
14:56up to go answer our mom but my brother told me not to he said that he didn't think it was mom
15:01i told him to stop trying to scare me i remember being so mad at him he told me to go closer and
15:08listen so i got up and went towards the bedroom door right outside of our bedroom door was the
15:13little hall that led to the bathroom and another bedroom that our grandma would sleep in whenever
15:17she'd sleep over directly to the right when you leave our bedroom was the stairway downstairs
15:22which had a door as well i put my ear up on the bedroom door and i heard the voice clearer
15:28it sounded like our mom's voice calling our names keith mikey i said to keith that's mom and
15:35he said no it's not somehow as a six-year-old and as the little brother i found myself being
15:41the one confident enough to open our bedroom door and then listen through the stairway door
15:45but now the voice stopped i whispered to keith that mom walked away and again he said that's
15:52not mom i kept telling him to shut up and that he was scaring me i unlocked the stairway door and
15:58slowly pulled it open to avoid making noise and when the door was open just enough i peered through
16:03the opening at the bottom of the stairs was clear as day the silhouette of a person a woman but right
16:10away i knew it was not our mom whoever it was she saw me because she said hi sweetie come down
16:17immediately i shut the door and locked it and went back into our bedroom and locked that door as well
16:22i started to cry and keith kept saying i told you we both agreed to start screaming as loud as we could
16:29on three to wake our parents so on three we started stomping on the floor and screaming as loud as we
16:35could it didn't take long for our parents to barge up the stairs pounding on the locked door
16:40at first our dad was pissed about the door being locked but as soon as we let them in they saw that i
16:46had been crying and we were genuinely disturbed about something they listened to us my mom was
16:51particularly concerned after telling us she was not at the bottom of the stairs and she was not
16:56calling our names she asked what the woman looked like but all we could say was we couldn't tell
17:01meanwhile i remember our dad running downstairs to i guess look around for the woman after a bit our mom
17:08kissed us goodnight again and i'm pretty sure she told us to lock the doors which was a first i was too
17:14young to catch on but it seemed as if our parents knew exactly who it could have been keith and i
17:19looked out the window when we heard the doorbell after a while and we saw a police car outside we
17:24wanted to go downstairs but we stayed put i remember we begged our parents to tell us who it was and what
17:30happened but our parents would always say they didn't know they would also say they're proud of
17:34us for not going downstairs personally i think they did know who it was and to save my brother and i
17:40from any kind of further trauma or fear they just never told us because the last time i saw my parents
17:46for dinner i asked them about it and they still shrugged it off as some random intruder but that
17:51never explained how that woman knew our names
17:53this happened when i was 16 i was still in high school i obviously didn't have a car yet so i was
18:09at the mercy of my parents driving me around or just walking if it was close it was the weekend my
18:16friend haley was having some of our friends over since her parents weren't home my mom drove me to
18:21her house haley lived close about a three minute drive and 20 minute walk my mom was single at the
18:27time and she also liked to go out too so she told me that if she's out late than to just walk or get
18:32a ride home which meant she was going on a date a few of our girlfriends were at haley's house tina
18:37courtney and bell the five of us hung out in her backyard for a few hours until some boys from our
18:42school unexpectedly showed up by unexpectedly i mean haley didn't tell me she was inviting them
18:48the reason i was annoyed by this was because one of the boys that showed up was a boy i had some
18:52annoying history with and didn't really want to see haley thought she was being cute and sneaky by
18:58inviting him there against my knowledge because she for some reason wanted him and i to work things out
19:03it was just an awkward mess there were four boys and five girls including me so eventually i just
19:09decided i wasn't really feeling it so after a while i left i'm sure after i left that some of the
19:16others started to leave shortly after because it was already late but i just didn't want to be
19:19around those boys i made sure to let haley know how pissed off i was over texts as i was walking home
19:25and she kept saying omg come back she apologized and i forgave her but i still just wanted to go home
19:31i walked for like five minutes until i slowed down i thought i heard footsteps behind me and when i
19:38slowed down i confirmed i heard footsteps that weren't mine
19:41i turned around and there was a middle-aged man with a hood up over his head and his hands in his
19:47hoodie pocket he was smiling looking at me and said how you doing i responded hi and just turned
19:54and kept walking we were in the suburbs people are walking around it's not unheard of even if it was
20:00late five minutes more passed of me walking and every time i'd glance around that man would still be
20:07behind me more or less the same distance away maybe a little closer each time i looked it was
20:13not a straight path home i'd have to make multiple turns onto intersecting roads to get to my house
20:18and each turn i made he was still there i was texting my friends about it and then the man from
20:24behind me said isn't it such a nice night love this weather i replied back yeah and that was it
20:30i started walking just a bit faster but not enough to draw suspicion like that i'm running away
20:36the man spoke again and every time he opened his mouth part of me died a little more inside
20:42like why was he talking to me why was he following me he asked are you from the neighborhood i replied
20:49no i was making my answer short and firm the man chuckled i started asking all my friends for help
20:56to send one of the guys to come pick me up ironically the boy who i was trying to avoid was on his way to
21:02come get me i'll just nickname him brandon the man behind me then said something that changed
21:07everything he said i'm not gonna hurt you you live by the elementary school right i turned around and
21:14he stopped in his tracks he was still smiling but now his smile seemed more disingenuous more sinister
21:21i screamed leave me alone and started to run i heard the man running behind me catching up to me
21:28at that point it was my life on the line so i started screaming bloody murder i started screaming
21:34help me for everyone in their houses to wake up and hear the man dropped his nice guy facade and said
21:39shut up you little bitch my screams definitely scared him off because he obviously didn't want a
21:44bunch of witnesses about to come out of their houses he ran away into the darkness and i saw some
21:49lights in the houses around me turn on one couple came out of their house and i explained i almost
21:54got kidnapped i stayed there in front of their house until brandon arrived to pick me up he drove
22:00me home it was only like a one minute drive after that my mom wasn't home she was out and she wasn't
22:07answering my texts i didn't want to be alone so i invited brandon in to stay the night i know he was
22:13the happiest camper alive but it didn't end there we were up late just talking and reminiscing about
22:20old times when we both heard footsteps circling the house my room in that house was upstairs facing the
22:26backyard we heard the gate to the backyard opening my mom would never enter through the backyard so
22:33something was off i held back from yelling out mom and instead brandon and i just looked out the
22:39window watching we didn't hear any more sounds we were expecting to see someone walking around the
22:45yard but instead we both heard a man's voice say i see you up there i let out a very audible gasp
22:52and i stepped away from the window brandon yelled out something along the lines of we're calling the
22:57cops you pussy freak that's exactly what we did the fact that this man knew where i lived he probably
23:04knew who i was what if he knew i was going to haley's house brandon did a lot of the talking
23:09on the phone with 9-1-1 looking back i know he tried really hard to be the man in this situation
23:15and i appreciated that i was honestly so happy he came inside the cops showed up and their presence
23:21just made me feel safer even just giving them a description of this man made me feel better
23:26like at least something was done my mom got home soon after and she was just as freaked out as i was
23:32they kept a police car parked on the block for a few hours as a deterrent thankfully
23:36from there on i didn't do any walking at night i was even scared to go into our backyard after that
23:43my mom had to have our uncle come over and install an entire security camera system
23:47he made no effort in hiding them they were on full display to deter that creepy man and any other
23:53creep from coming to that house i'm glad to say that the story ended there because this incident
23:58also prompted my mom to sell that house about a year later just because she hated seeing me
24:02living in constant fear in that house we never found out who that man was
