00:00it was October 1st that fresh autumn breeze was in the air it felt like fall my favorite season
00:16it was my boyfriend Carter and I's first fall living together in our new home I wanted to
00:22surprise Carter by decorating the place with fall and Halloween themed decorations before
00:26he got home from work one day I thought it would be cute I bought a few things from a nearby
00:31Marshalls and a few other stores and I also looked on different apps and websites most
00:36notably Facebook marketplace I simply typed in fall decorations and one listing really
00:41caught my attention it was a picture of the big green plastic container which contained
00:46a bunch of fall decorations I clicked on it for more details and more or less it said
00:52everything must go entire container of fall themed decorations for sale for cheap the
00:57price was only 20 it was a steal if that entire big container was full of decorations
01:02at the bottom of the ad it also said selling other stuff clearing out house everything must go check
01:09my profile so I clicked his profile and looked at some of the other listings he had there was a
01:14weird assortment of things this guy was selling an allegedly new iPhone for $700 a few articles of
01:21women's clothing and Christmas decorations there were others but I didn't go through all of them
01:26the profile itself was kind of low-key everything was private the man's name was Cody and his profile
01:33picture was a close-up of a gray trucker's cap on a guy's head but his face was covered by the brim
01:38of the hat the cover photo was a blurry photo of a lake I messaged the profile and he replied instantly
01:45I asked what kind of decorations were in the container and he said all sorts tableware outdoor
01:51decorations etc so I excitedly told the man I would come by them today if he were available
01:57he confirmed he would be around later on closer to 9 p.m as that's when he'd get home from work
02:02he sent me an address I looked up the address on google maps street view it was not in the best town
02:08honestly but the house looked completely normal two cars in the driveway in the street view picture
02:14lawn kept nice so I agreed to meet I had my friend Sally come with me just to be safe
02:20I went to pick up Sally across town and we were off to this Cody person's house
02:24it was a half hour drive Sally and I had some time to catch up on the drive there
02:29when we got off the highway entering the town that the house was in
02:33Sally started half joking around about how sketchy the area was
02:37I say half joking around because I know she was saying that partially to be funny and make light of the
02:42situation but also because everyone just kind of knows this really isn't the best town
02:46it was dark out though so honestly we didn't see much besides street lights traffic lights and some
02:52storefronts as we got closer I saw my phone screen turning on as it vibrated in the cup holder of my
02:58car at the next light I checked my phone and saw that it was messages from Cody on messenger
03:04he said when you get here you can come right in
03:07I showed it to Sally and she said what the hell we both could agree that that was a bit
03:12uncomfortable and that we'd ring the doorbell anyway we pulled up to the house and surprisingly
03:17there were no cars in the driveway there were dim lights on in the house though that could barely
03:22be seen through the closed blinds of the windows I messaged Cody back saying we're here can you come
03:27to the front Sally and I both watched the house as I waited for a response and then we both noticed at
03:34the same exact time at one of the windows the blinds slightly shift indicating someone was watching
03:40us through them then just as quickly as we noticed it the opening in the blinds closed a few seconds
03:46later the front door opened and Cody messaged me back saying I'm at the door you can come in
03:51it was a bit of an unsettling situation and I was just happy I brought Sally along the two of us got
03:57out of my car and walked closer to the front door before getting too close I called out Cody's name a few
04:03times only to get no response Sally whispered we should leave I took a few steps closer and said
04:10Cody one more time really loud and there was no response I turned and whispered let's go and we
04:17started walking back to the car when suddenly I heard a guy say hey yes I'm here inside we turned
04:23and saw a man at the doorway but only about half of him he was like peering only half of his body around
04:29the door he waved us inside Sally and I cautiously turned back and started walking back to the door
04:35as I got closer he fully opened the door but then also walked out of view we walked up the steps and
04:42into the house keeping the front door open and right away got hit with a strong scent like that
04:47cotton scent from an old person's house mixed with something very unpleasant we heard fast and heavy
04:53footsteps moving away into another room followed by his voice saying it's over in here come here
04:58his voice was freakishly deep like it was intimidating I made sure Sally was right by my side before
05:04entering the adjacent room we were faced with a very weird sight a dimly lit living room with a
05:10depressing pinkish red carpet and really old looking furniture but the smell in this room was putrid
05:16it smelt like actual death in the middle of the room was a red container with a green lid on top of it
05:23there was this Cody man standing just over the container this was the first time I got a good
05:29clear look at the man and he was not a friendly looking man he invited me over to come open the
05:34container I took note of the fact that this container was not the same color as the green
05:39container that was in the picture on the Facebook ad it also was a completely different shape from the
05:44looks of it I asked him to open it himself and he said well you're no fun that comment already had
05:51Sally and I inching backwards in the direction of the front door but when he lifted the lid off the
05:56container and we were suddenly blasted with another putrid smell we turned for the door and left in a
06:01hurry without looking back until we got to the car Sally kept telling me to hurry up by the time my car
06:07was on all I know is the front door to the house was already closed I don't know if he was watching
06:13us through the window again we were gone very quickly we never actually saw what was in that container
06:18it was definitely not decorations though after telling Carter about all this he asked for the
06:25address of the place and I told him not to go there he assured me he wouldn't he just wanted to look up
06:30the house so I gave it to him the next day he returned home later than usual from work and he
06:36told me he stopped by the house and an older woman answered the door insisting that she lived there alone
06:41he knew I wasn't lying though because I showed him all the Facebook messages with the guy which
06:46included the address upon looking up the records of that address it does list the owner as a woman
06:52in her late 60s this was an incredibly disturbing and unexplainable experience from now on when buying
06:59stuff online I avoid going to people's houses
07:02it was 2019 when this happened I remember specifically because it was the year I was
07:16living on my own in Asheville North Carolina I moved here for a temporary job and it was an
07:21excuse for me to live on my own for the first time I was 22 years old and just out of college
07:27I had an apartment in downtown I could walk to most things I needed but I also had my car for
07:32when I wanted to branch out or adventure out of town the thing I loved about Asheville and North
07:37Carolina in general was the sheer amount of hiking trails I'd been to many around town but one I hadn't
07:44been to was DuPont State Forest one day I decided to go the drive was just under an hour from Asheville
07:51it was a random Wednesday in October the leaves were starting to change and it was the perfect time for a
07:57hike I didn't have work that day and it being a work day for everyone else it meant I'd probably
08:02have the trails all to myself I got to the parking area for the park and I found where one of the
08:07trails began I walked for a while and the trail was serene I was the only one out there that day
08:13it was a cloudy day and we'd been getting a lot of rain that week which was more of a reason I wanted
08:18to go because the trail would lead to some nice waterfalls called triple falls and high falls
08:23and the waterfalls would be more impressive after a few days of rainfall I only had to hike about 0.4
08:29miles before getting to the triple falls which was a really cool sight a little piece of trivia a
08:34scene in the hunger games was filmed at this waterfall I took a few videos and pictures as I
08:39sat on a rock for a bit I noticed a woman in the woods on the trail she was looking at me I waved at
08:45her trying to be polite and she just turned around and slowly walked deeper into the woods until she was
08:51out of sight not really something I gave a second thought to anyway I wasn't tired yet I had literally
08:57just started hiking so I didn't sit for too long I got up and headed back to the trail I didn't want
09:03to try climbing the rocks of the waterfall because they were incredibly slippery I continued to ascend
09:08up the trail and eventually came to the higher point of the falls called high falls I took a few
09:14more videos and pictures here and sat on another dry rock for a bit I swear I felt a sense of deja vu
09:20when I saw that woman again in the woods by the trail once again she was staring me down I didn't
09:27wave this time I instead looked down at my phone pretending not to notice or care I couldn't help
09:33but glance up after like 10 seconds and now she was gone if I had to guess the woman was like 55
09:40she had short grayish blonde hair from the looks of it but again she was pretty far away so this was
09:46all just what I saw of her from a distance I didn't see which way she went but whatever way it was I
09:52wanted to go the opposite I kept walking the direction I had been walking and eventually came
09:57to another landmark of the trail the covered bridge I once again stopped here to take a scenic video and
10:03a few photos I drank a bit of my water and then looked at the end of the bridge from the side I had just
10:08walked from I saw that woman I swear I didn't see her there before I started taking videos and pictures
10:15I also didn't hear anyone walking behind me she was once again staring right at me as if I were doing
10:21something wrong I was getting annoyed I started walking over to her and said excuse me but she
10:27just turned around and started walking away actually the speed at which she was walking away for someone
10:32at her age was unsettling I almost felt concerned at the possibility that she may have been somebody
10:38with special needs that needed help but I didn't convince myself to go chasing after her I just
10:44leaned on the edge of the bridge for a few minutes before deciding to turn back I had already been
10:49hiking for about 45 minutes and it would take another 45 to get back down to the car walking back
10:55down the trail I came in the direction that that woman had gone I passed a younger woman walking her dog
11:00so I decided to stop her and ask if she'd seen an older woman pass by she said no and just trying
11:07to make conversation about it talk to somebody about it I told her how I kept seeing that woman
11:11popping out of nowhere and looking at me then just walking off she laughed and said that's really really
11:17strange I didn't want to take up too much of her time so after we both shared a laugh about it I
11:23continued on my way the entire way down the trail I grew a bit paranoid that I'd see that woman
11:29lurking around in the background somewhere again but all was quiet on the way down I passed one other
11:35person who gave me a friendly smile and a nod other than that I made it back to my car undisturbed
11:40later that day I went on a date with a girl I was seeing there we went to our favorite local bar to
11:46get some pumpkin spice beers and watch baseball I told her about the woman on the trail and she found
11:51it amusing because honestly it did sound funny after that I went home fast forward to that night when
11:58I was in bed I hardly ever wake up in the middle of the night I'm a pretty heavy sleeper normally
12:03so me waking up in the middle of the night in the dark was unusual I was still coming too when I
12:09heard something at the foot of my bed I looked up and saw the figure of a woman at the foot of my bed
12:16I felt as though my insides had just fallen out of my body I started screaming so loud that I'm sure my
12:22neighbors could have heard it even with the windows closed I started crawling against my headboard
12:27trying to distance myself as much as possible from the female figure at the foot of my bed
12:32then she just turned and walked out of the room I stopped screaming now more so trying to just catch
12:38my breath and slow my rapidly beating heart I flicked on the lamp and started shouting who's there
12:44I listened but there was dead silence I grabbed the knife I had in the nightstand next to my bed and
12:51jumped out of bed I flicked on every light switch I passed until the entire apartment was lit up
12:56there was no one there not in the closets not behind a couch not under any beds and so I called
13:03my father I didn't know what else to do I needed to share what just happened with somebody my father
13:09groggily picked up the phone and after explaining to him he said I must have hallucinated it while I
13:14was still in my half asleep state he said I wasn't fully awake yet and so I could have been seeing
13:19things I knew deep down he was probably right but it didn't make the image I saw any less real looking
13:24or horrifying and then I told him about the woman in the park and how the figure at my bed actually
13:31resembled her he said if anything that further proves his point that my brain conjured up a
13:36familiar image from earlier that day somehow I went back to sleep that night with my bedroom door
13:41barricaded with my dresser just in case it wasn't until two days later that I heard from my mom that
13:47her sister in Germany died I'd never met my aunt she'd been basically estranged from my mom as she
13:54hadn't left Germany in over 25 years my mom and uncle flew to Germany to attend the funeral and it
14:00wasn't until she got back home and I saw the prayer card with my aunt's face on it that once again I
14:05felt like my organs dropped out of my body when I realized she looked identical to the woman I saw on
14:10the trail that day and hallucinated at the foot of my bed this story shook my whole family especially
14:16because I told my dad about all that and the hallucination before we even got news of my aunt's
14:20passing I was born a Catholic but never found myself to be super religious after confirmation
14:26but god damn does this really send shivers down my spine and make me question what exactly I believe in
14:40my friend Carlos and I like to do stupid things together we've been friends since we were 10 and
14:47when we were 21 we became roommates we lived in Brunswick Georgia where we grew up a little coastal
14:53town that had its pros and cons but overall was an okay place to grow up but it got boring as we
14:58entered our 20s anyway that's neither here nor there while we did live there we knew about a creepy
15:05looking house that differed from the rest of the houses in town and that it looked like it was built in
15:09a different century it had long been abandoned and we and our friends would make up stories about its
15:15history it was mid-october and everyone was in halloween mode people were doing halloween themed
15:20activities like haunted houses and corn mazes and such we thought it would be fun one friday night to
15:26go break into that house and explore so after we were both home from our jobs we both grabbed baseball
15:31bats to bring with us stopped for some fast food and beers on the way and drove to the house we parked all
15:37the way down the road just not to be suspicious the houses around there were not that close together
15:43so each property was pretty big which meant we were less likely to get caught snooping around
15:47we both grabbed a couple beers each and threw them in our backpacks not sure why we thought we were
15:52going to drink in there but along with that we stuffed our baseball bats into the sides just so no
15:57one would see us walking around with baseball bats in our hands late at night looking like trouble
16:01we quietly walked down the street just whispering to each other it took less than five minutes to get
16:07the house it was so dark on this part of the street because this house along with the house
16:12across the street had no lights on there weren't any street lights on the street whatever light
16:17there may have been would have had to come from one of the few houses with their lights on
16:20from here on we used our flashlights we brought the front lawn had a bunch of dirt patches and the
16:26patches of grass were overgrown lots of weeds everywhere it seemed we walked around to the backyard to look
16:33for an entry point because doing that out front seemed stupid for obvious reasons shockingly the
16:38back door was already unlocked the place wasn't boarded up or anything the back windows weren't
16:44even smashed we knew that the place was abandoned though everybody did we walked right in navigating
16:50inside of there would have been impossible had it not been for our flashlights the house was bigger
16:56than some of the neighboring houses yet the inside felt very cramped like there were a lot of rooms but
17:01they were smaller almost giving the house a maze-like feeling carlos stepped into another room away from
17:08me and at that moment i was alone i heard his voice say from another room yo there's still furniture
17:13everywhere i responded yeah this place must have been abandoned in a hurry everything seemed ancient
17:19like furniture in my grandma's house only not used in years i walked around the first floor some more
17:25and came to a tiny corridor with a few doors doors that led to bedrooms i entered one of the bedrooms
17:32and it was incredibly cramped the bed took up 80 of the room i went through some of the drawers in the
17:38dresser but they all seemed like they'd already been gone through same with the closet anything left
17:43behind besides this old furniture just looked like junk i heard carlos say he's going upstairs i said back
17:50okay we were speaking at a volume that was just loud enough for each of us to hear after checking out the
17:57other bedroom down on the first floor which was equally cramped i went back out to the corridor
18:01there were two other doors one that led to a bathroom and then when i opened the final door i was looking
18:08down a long stairway to a basement i decided fuck it i'm walking down i started descending the steps
18:15each step squeaking and cracking under my weight i got about halfway down the steps when i realized
18:22there was a faint glow coming from down there i turned off my flashlight and yes there was still
18:28a little faint glow coming from down there i should have turned and left in that moment like any normal
18:34person but i do stupid things like i die first in a horror movie most likely i continued down the stairs
18:41with my flashlight off and when i got to the bottom i looked around the wall separating the stairs from
18:47the rest of the basement and i saw what was just barely lighting up the room it was two tall candles
18:53sitting on a table but that wasn't the first thing i noticed what i saw first was what was next to that
18:58and it was some kind of sofa rocking chair and it was rocking someone was seated in it it was facing
19:05away from the stairway all i could see was a hand on one of the arms of the chair i had to get out of
19:10there i started going back up the stairs as quietly as i could with each crack and squeak causing me to
19:17cringe in fear i was halfway up the stairs now i looked back down and could still see the faint glow
19:23of the candles so i continued as quietly as i could i was almost to the top and one stair creaked
19:30especially loud i paused for a moment clenching my teeth so hard i proceeded up the final steps and
19:37made it to the top i turned to shut the door but i noticed it was pitch black down there now
19:43the thought of the candles having been put out sent a shiver down my spine
19:47i quietly closed the door and then i tiptoed around this cramped maze of a house until i found
19:52the stairway going upstairs i stood at the bottom of the stairs and quietly called up to carlos
19:58he wasn't responding i sighed and started quietly going up the stairs repeating carlos's name still
20:06no response i had to go all the way up to the top of the stairs repeating his name and he still
20:11wouldn't respond so i said if you're trying to scare me stop joking around there's someone in the
20:16basement we need to get out of here that got his attention because he stepped out from a dark room and
20:22asked if i was serious i told him i'd explain outside but that i'm not kidding he followed me
20:28down the stairs i was trying less so to be quiet now because i just wanted to get out of that house
20:32we were heading back to the back door where we entered but when we passed the corridor of the
20:37basement door we both saw the silhouette of a man standing in front of the door
20:41the time for sneaking around was over i kept repeating just go as we booked it outside and ran for
20:49my car we made it to the car in like 30 seconds i was already winded by the time we made it back
20:55i backed the car off that street and started driving us home in the car ride was when i explained in
21:01detail what i saw all carlos kept saying was yo what the fuck to everything i said he was in just as
21:08much disbelief as me so while no i don't think anyone legally lived in that house i do think someone
21:15was squatting in there down in that basement who knows who it was honestly who cares i just never
21:22returned anywhere near that street
