00:00when shit hit the fan with my parents i had to move out i was down on my luck living situation
00:15wise i could only crash on the couches of my friends for so long i was looking on all the
00:20roommate and apartment apps and websites and i found something that caught my eye on this app
00:24a man named luke had listed a room for rent in his three-bedroom one-story house the rent price was
00:31twelve hundred a month he'd basically be my landlord and roommate as he would also be living
00:36in the house he made sure to note on the ad that he'd be out of the house most of the time and that
00:41the renter would have the place to themselves often he did put in all capital letters a few ground rules
00:46though including no parties no large gatherings no drinking in the living room and no use of the
00:51basement they seemed like pretty standard rules i went to view the house in person and meet luke
00:58the second he opened the door i got a bit of a read on him that he was a little reclusive
01:03his demeanor was quiet and a little awkward he showed me the house i could tell he was nervous
01:08because his voice would shake and he would stutter the bedroom was a good size and the actual floor
01:14plan of the house was good it was an open layout meaning the kitchen living room and dining room
01:19were all one big open space for one thousand a month in my area it was a steal he laid out some
01:24more ground rules in person and he emphasized again how i can't go in the attic or the basement
01:30as i use them for storage only sounded fair enough on the spot i told him i'm interested
01:36we shook hands i left and two days later i was moving in we didn't draft any sort of lease or contract
01:43i was just going to be paying him off the books month to month the first day of every month
01:48i had settled in pretty quickly the bedroom i was renting was already furnished with a bed and basic
01:53furniture so all i did really was hang some of my wall decor and fill the dresser and closet with
01:58clothes the bedroom had a lock on it thankfully and he gave me the key to it so i could lock it
02:03when he wasn't home which seemed like a nice gesture at first luke never told me what he did for work
02:10he just told me he usually wouldn't be home but i quickly learned that wasn't true anytime i'd come home
02:15from work his car was always in the driveway quickly i started to pick up on loud sounds
02:21outside of my bedroom at night from footsteps to doors opening and closing constantly one night i
02:27went out in the middle of the night just to go to the bathroom and i noticed the basement door was
02:31opened i walked over to the top of the stairs and looked down there was a dim light from down there
02:37seemingly from a far corner out of view i heard banging sounds coming from down there
02:41it was like 2 a.m what could he be doing down there then the bang stopped and luke appeared at
02:49the bottom of the stairs and looked up at me it was so creepy that describing it in words doesn't do
02:54it justice he looked visibly annoyed as he looked up at me i apologized and said i'm just going to the
03:00bathroom he almost angrily responded shut the basement door i listened to him insanely weirded out
03:08i went to the bathroom and then back to bed i laid awake for a while after that now with my mind
03:13racing wondering what he's doing about a week later i returned home and noticed my bedroom door was
03:21unlocked i always locked it before leaving every day i looked around my room to see if anything was
03:26missing and while nothing seemed to be missing i noticed some things had been moved for starters my
03:33clothes and the dressers were not neatly stacked anymore they had been looked through i could tell
03:38the closet door was also cracked open it was dawning on me that he had his own key and he likely
03:43came into my room and went through my stuff this felt like a clear invasion of privacy and a violation
03:49of my tenant rights i had to figure out how to confront him about it i went to knock on his bedroom
03:54door but he didn't answer his car was in the driveway once again so he had to be home i was
04:00getting such weird vibes from all of this i gave up and went back to my room after microwaving my dinner
04:07while i was in my room relaxing and watching tv i heard the door to luke's room open i took this
04:12opportunity to get up and confront him so i went out to the living room and caught him in a hurry about
04:17to leave the house i stopped him and asked if he went into my room he looked at me with a blank expression
04:23and straight up said no i delicately responded without being hostile saying that the door was
04:29unlocked and some of my stuff appeared to have been gone through he then claimed that i had the
04:34only key to my bedroom and then he said he's in a hurry he has to go and he left i was flabbergasted
04:40by all this i wanted to ask my parents for advice but at that time i hated them and wanted nothing to do
04:46with them i was already back on the apps and websites looking up other listings i knew i didn't want to
04:52stay here then i realized this was the first apparent time luke wasn't home while i was curiosity got the
04:59better of me and i had to check out the basement i checked out the windows first to make sure his car
05:04was gone and it was i then went over to open the basement door oddly enough i couldn't find any light
05:10switches so i just used the flashlight on my phone to navigate around the steps were so creaky i felt
05:17like i was in an abandoned house i got to the bottom and there was a tan carpet that was curling
05:22upwards at the walls as if it were poorly fitted to the floor it was a very small basement at least
05:28the main room there was just this one ugly couch in the middle of the room there was also a slightly
05:33funky smell down there and the smell only got worse as i got closer to this door in the corner
05:39i attempted to open the door but unfortunately it was locked or maybe i should say fortunately
05:45because i'm not sure i fully wanted to know what was in there emitting that smell it almost smelled
05:50like raw sewage but worse i did one little quick sweep around the main room of the basement though
05:56and i found nothing just some taped up cardboard boxes which i was not going to open i went back
06:02upstairs and shut the door the rest of that night i stayed in my room i never heard luke come back
06:08he must have gotten back after i had fallen asleep i woke up the room was still dark my alarm was not
06:15going off something else had woken me up i heard the floor next to my bed crack and i turned and saw luke
06:22leaning over my bed looking at me i screamed and he replied to me to shush and then asked me if i went
06:28into the basement i screamed no how did you get in here i locked the door he then asked me are you sure
06:35i flipped the cards on him and yelled did you come into this room when i wasn't home he replied no
06:41then he turned around and walked toward the door i asked how did you get in here then i saw him hold
06:46up his hand in the dark he wasn't holding anything at the time i didn't know what it meant he said to
06:53me before leaving the room i think you should find other living arrangements and then he closed the door
06:58i started packing my shit right then and there i wasn't staying another minute in that house
07:04i knocked on his door and yelled at him to give me half of the rent money back since i'd only been
07:08there like two weeks moments later he opened the door and just his arm stuck out from the door holding
07:14a small stack of hundred dollar bills he managed to make even handing me the money insanely creepy
07:20i grabbed it it was only four hundred dollars whatever it was close enough i just wanted to
07:25get out of there i was fully packed and out of there within an hour i slept in my car that night
07:32i ended up back in my parents house the next day and after explaining the ludicrous shit i just went
07:36through something changed where they were more welcoming to have me back i still moved out a month
07:41later but my parents and i are fine now if you're choosing to have a random roommate from online
07:47just be careful and use your best judgment after meeting them
08:00it was my junior year of college i had moved off campus into a student apartment building
08:06my roommate was sort of assigned to me by the school in the sense that he was just someone else
08:10who needed someone to live with his name was david and he seemed like a nice guy at first he was
08:16friendly and polite always smiling and making small talk but as the days went by i started to
08:22notice strange things about him little quirks and odd behaviors that made me feel uneasy
08:28it started with the way david would always linger in my room asking pushy questions about my personal
08:33life and poking around my belongings as if he were way too comfortable doing so at first i brushed it off
08:39as harmless curiosity even if i found it kind of weird but the more i thought about it the more it
08:44bothered me then there were the sounds i would hear coming from david's room late at night talking and
08:50shuffling noises that were slightly concerning i tried to ignore them telling myself it was just
08:55david watching tv or talking on the phone but deep down i knew something wasn't right one night unable to
09:02sleep because of the strange noises coming from david's room i decided to investigate i crept silently down
09:08the hallway and pressed my ear against david's door straining to hear what was going on inside
09:14what i heard was just weird it was the sound of david whispering to himself his voice low and muffled
09:21and then just as suddenly as it had started the whisper stopped and there was nothing but silence
09:27then i heard jess david said my name did he somehow know i was outside his door
09:34i quickly and quietly tiptoed away from his door and back to my room i silently crawled back into my
09:40bed i didn't know what to make of this why was david talking to himself was he hiding something from
09:47me or was he sleepwalking but then how did he know i was outside of his room i couldn't shake the
09:53feeling of uneasiness the next day i kept thinking about the night before as the days went by and the
10:00sounds from david's room persisted my paranoia only grew worse i couldn't shake the feeling that david
10:06was hiding something from me david's behavior also became stranger i started to notice little subtle
10:13changes in his behavior like he would make strange glances at me and his movement seemed a little
10:18furtive one night i woke up at some off hour in the night and heard david's whispering voice from
10:24outside in the hallway like right outside my door it was genuinely freaking me out and i was wondering
10:31if he was sleepwalking i went to the door and put my ear up against it and like last time the whispering
10:37stopped and then david once again said jeff this time i replied and said yeah you good he didn't respond
10:45i just heard his footsteps walk away to his room the following night i woke up to the sound of my bedroom
10:51door closing i heard david's footsteps walking away in the hallway this was getting out of hand
10:58the next day i decided to confront him about his potential sleepwalking i told him i'd been hearing
11:03him walking around late at night and heard him close my door last night i then asked him if he
11:08has ever been known to sleepwalk or have any kind of sleeping disorders he seemed to not know how to
11:13answer at first but then he said yes he does tend to sleepwalk sometimes i wasn't buying it though
11:20something was up i decided to search david's room for answers i knew it was risky but i couldn't
11:26ignore the nagging feeling that something was wrong i waited until david was out of the apartment then
11:31i crept into his room i knew that i might not have much time so i searched quickly tearing through
11:37drawers and closets in search of anything that might explain david's nightly strained behavior
11:42and then just as i was about to give up i found it a small nondescript drawer hidden at the back
11:49of david's closet i pulled it open my blood ran cold at what i found inside it was a collection of
11:55photographs dozens of them mostly featuring me asleep and one other guy who looked to be our age
12:02all mixed together they were taken from different angles and distances some of them so close up that
12:08i could see the pores on my skin and individual strands of hair on my head i felt sick to my stomach
12:13as i realized what i was looking at david had been secretly taking pictures of me while i slept without
12:18my knowledge or consent i couldn't believe it i had been living with some kind of sick voyeur like
12:24he probably got off somehow to these pictures he had been violating my privacy and invading my personal
12:30space for who knows how long i wanted to confront david to demand answers but i was afraid of what he
12:36might do afraid of what he might say afraid of what might happen if i confronted him alone so i took a
12:42picture of the contents of the drawer and then took a handful of the photos as evidence to use against
12:46david i packed my things and the next day i showed the photos to the department in charge of student
12:52housing accommodations and they told me to let them take the appropriate action i was lucky and got
12:57assigned to a different apartment with the normal person who needed a roommate i never spoke to david
13:02again even now years later i still can't shake the memory of those chilling photographs and david's
13:08whispering and creeping around at night i never found out who the other guy in the photos was it was
13:13definitely his old roommate but i was never able to find his name but who knows maybe he also found out
13:30when i was 23 i had to move out of state for work i still work with the company but i've been able
13:35to move back to my hometown and work at the local office here but at the time i needed somewhere to
13:40live that wouldn't be bank breaking i made a posting on basically all the websites for a roommate
13:46facebook craigslist twitter and even on my neighborhood subreddit i had a guy named rob
13:51reach out to me on facebook stating he has a room available in his place i looked at his pictures to
13:56see if he looked like a somewhat normal guy and he did i was open to the idea of having a male roommate
14:02as long as they seemed normal even though my parents were very against it rob and i facetimed during
14:08which he gave me a virtual tour of the place apparently he owned the place outright it was
14:13a modest house in the middle of town only a 10 minute drive from where my office would be
14:17he also seemed pretty nice i didn't get any bad vibes at all his price was fair and his rules were
14:23pretty fair too he said it was available to move in right away which was perfect so it was settled a
14:29week later i had all my things packed and drove down i met rob right out front of the house where he
14:34greeted me and handed me a key the first thing i noticed about him was he was really short he was
14:39eye level with me he helped me bring some of the bigger and heavier bags inside he showed me my room
14:45which was furnished already he said one of his friends had been living there and recently moved
14:49out i replaced all the pillows and bed sheets with my own of course the rest of that day was me
14:55settling in rob i could see was trying to get to know me and presumably make me feel at home
15:01i didn't get any overly friendly vibes yet the next day was sunday rob offered to drive
15:07me around town to show me around i wasn't eager to but i said sure just to get off on a good start with
15:13him he drove us around town showing me where the good shopping centers are good restaurants and stuff
15:18like that but then he offered to get us lunch i really wasn't hungry and he was suggesting a sit-down
15:24lunch almost like a date i didn't want him to get any kind of wrong idea i just needed a room
15:30i said i'm not hungry and then he right away suggested we go grab drinks somewhere instead
15:35i politely shot it down too saying i don't drink on work nights he was being a bit pushy saying come
15:42on just a couple drinks i still maintained my politeness and said another time he gave up and he
15:48went really quiet all of a sudden like he was upset i'll admit i was slightly uncomfortable
15:53but nothing i couldn't handle yet that week was my first week at work and so my attention was
15:59focused mostly on adjusting to the work week it wasn't until a few days into the week that i got
16:04home and did my laundry and noticed my hamper full of clothes seemed moved like the clothes weren't how
16:10i remembered they were left and it wasn't until i was loading the washing machine that i noticed a
16:15pair of my underwear was missing i checked my room top to bottom like five times it was gone
16:22i had a disturbing thought what if rob no i refuse to believe that just yet and there was no chance
16:29in hell i would confront him and ask him that still i was now starting to wish there was a lock on the
16:34bedroom door that weekend i bought a lockable doorknob from ace hardware and while rob wasn't home
16:40i swapped out the current doorknob with the new one now i can leave the place in peace
16:45i figured i'd tell rob the next time i saw him he didn't come home that night though he must have
16:50been working his schedule seemed pretty random that night i woke to banging on my bedroom door
16:57it was rob he was saying my name and he didn't sound happy i checked the time and it was like 1 30 in
17:03the morning i decided i would pretend i'm asleep i was honestly kind of scared to open the door i had a
17:10feeling it had to do with the doorknob and i was right the next morning i woke up to a bunch of
17:15texts from rob saying we need to talk be home after work i simply responded is this about the doorknob
17:22and he responded back yes i apologized to him and said i was planning on telling him he replied back
17:28it comes off today i was getting incredibly nasty and weird vibes from his tone my next response i thought
17:34out a little longer and basically said how i hope he can sympathize and understand that i'm a girl
17:39and i just feel safer being able to have privacy in my room he responded a little nicer this time
17:45but he still basically said no to my request and that the old doorknob needs to go back on
17:50i was confused i was upset but i had to respect his rules i did also install it without telling him so
17:56i felt like he had a right to be kind of mad but how did he know i changed it it's not like i had
18:02the old doorknob sitting out in the open the idea that he tried coming into my room that night kind
18:07of scared me i changed the doorknob back the next day and returned to ace this is where things went
18:13really downhill though there was a knock at the door one day when rob wasn't home it was a girl around
18:19my age she asked me if i was living here with rob and i said yes she warned me to get out of there
18:25immediately that rob has multiple restraining orders against him from different girls and he's
18:30known to be a very dangerous creepy stalker i was at a loss for words i asked her how she knew i was
18:36here she said she knew that he was trying to rent his room and that it's not surprising he opted to
18:41have a girl move in she said she saw me moving in and wanted to wait till he wasn't home to come warn me
18:47i thanked her so much i truly was terrified now i had already paid rob for the entire month
18:54i didn't know what to do she said she would help me in any way she could i took her number and she
18:59left i started packing my things and looking for other places i could move to i found something across
19:05town a studio apartment sublet for a little more money i contacted the poster of the ad and she told me
19:11i could move in as soon as possible perfect now i just needed to tell rob and get my money back
19:18i started packing some of my stuff into my car and i texted him that i'd have to be moving out tomorrow
19:23as something with my family came up and i needed to go home he didn't answer he got back to the house
19:28about an hour later and asked me about my text i came up with my best fake story possible and he
19:35said yeah he'll give me the money back tomorrow after he goes to the bank i was super relieved
19:40about an hour later he knocked on my door and then said did by some chance some girl say something to
19:45you i simply said no what do you mean and he said never mind it just seems like you're running away
19:50out of here for another reason i insisted that it was purely because of the family reasons he said
19:56okay and left sadly the story didn't end there i woke up that night and screamed at the top of my
20:04lungs when i saw a black figure sitting on the end of the bed it was rob he turned and put his hand
20:11on my mouth and went i said please don't hurt me and he responded why would i hurt you i knew someone
20:17said something to you don't believe what these girls say i said you're scaring me and this part
20:23is still just as insane to me as it was in that moment he started to caress my leg and he said i
20:29don't mean to scare you right after i said he's scaring me i got out of the bed and ran for the door
20:35and he screamed at me to stop i ran outside with my phone in hand and called the police i hid in the
20:41bush until they showed up and i explained the entire situation to them they made rob come outside and
20:46give his side of the story basically i told them i just want to get all my stuff out of the room and
20:51i'm leaving so the cops stayed there as i collected the remainder of my stuff and brought it all to my
20:56car i also insisted on rob then mowing me the money back while the police were there and he did so
21:02actually the whole time the police were there he tried his best to act like some normal dude i could
21:07tell one of the officers then pulled me to the side to tell me that this guy had been arrested
21:12before for other incidents with women but rob denied ever coming in my room or touching me or anything
21:18so it was all he said she said i left the house and went straight to a hotel for the night the next
21:24day i moved into the studio apartment luckily the girl who posted it was able to facilitate my quick
21:29move in i have never and will never live with another man who's not my boyfriend or husband ever again
21:36or just anyone i don't know for that matter
