00:00This was something that happened so long ago that a lot of details are a little blurry.
00:13It's not like it happened yesterday.
00:15I'll try my best to fill in smaller details that I don't fully remember with how I best remember things played out.
00:22It was the last day of school. I was in the fourth grade.
00:25Fourth grade was the last year in our elementary school where kids had to be picked up by their parents.
00:31Fifth graders were allowed to walk home on their own.
00:33My mom would always be the one to pick me up.
00:36On the last day of school, my friend Dennis and I had a playdate planned to celebrate the last day of school.
00:42Dennis wasn't in my class this year, but we had been friends since kindergarten.
00:46He was in a different dismissal hallway from me.
00:48After school was over, we single file lined up and walked to the exit door at the end of the hall,
00:53where we waited outside by our teacher, Ms. Blue.
00:57I waited for Dennis' dad to appear from the crowd of parents shuffling in and out of the parking lot next to the doors.
01:02Then I heard my name.
01:04Tommy! Tommy!
01:05I look over and see a man waving at me as he approached.
01:09He introduced himself as Dennis' uncle and said he was picking me up.
01:13I went over to Ms. Blue and said I'm being picked up.
01:16She asked where is he, sweetie, and I pointed to Dennis' uncle who waved at Ms. Blue.
01:20Ms. Blue dismissed me and I went with the man.
01:23He led us through the crowd and was a very quick and jittery talker, like he spoke fast and had a bit of a stutter.
01:30He was walking incredibly fast, it was almost hard to keep up with him with my backpack on.
01:34He explained to me that his brother, or Dennis' dad, was working later than expected, so he was driving me back.
01:41We got to his car, which was a dark red hatchback type car from what I remember,
01:45and it took me this long to acknowledge the giant elephant in the room.
01:49Where was Dennis?
01:50Why weren't we picking him up too?
01:53The man turned to look at me in the back seat and said that Dennis was already at his house.
01:58I was shy around people I didn't know, especially adults, and I wasn't one to openly speak my mind if I was confused.
02:04But I was very confused.
02:07This was making less and less sense.
02:09The whole drive the man kept yapping, telling stories of his days in elementary, asking me questions like what sports I played, what we're learning in class.
02:18If I had to guess, we were in the car for like 10 minutes, which honestly for our town, where houses were right on top of each other, that was a while.
02:26My house was a five-minute walk away from the school.
02:29We were definitely in an area I wasn't familiar with when he parked the car in front of his house.
02:35His house looked pretty normal to me from what I remember.
02:38He let us inside and shut the door and locked it behind us.
02:41It was really, really dark inside the place, and I realized why.
02:45All the curtains were shut.
02:47It almost felt like it was nighttime in there, especially because the only source of light was a dim lamp in the corner of the room.
02:53He then looked at me and smiled.
02:56I said, where's Dennis?
02:58And he started acting really jittery and nervous-seeming.
03:01He said something like, oh, I think he's downstairs playing video games.
03:05Give me a second.
03:06Wait here.
03:07He then disappeared into a nearby room, and I heard a door open and then footsteps descending into a basement.
03:13I know my heart was already racing.
03:15I knew I was in danger.
03:16I went to the door to quietly try to open it, but I couldn't.
03:20It had some kind of lock that must have needed a key for.
03:23I really started to panic now, yet I still probably held out a little bit of hope that Dennis would be coming up those stairs, but I knew the chances of that were slim.
03:32I regretted entering that house.
03:34I did the only thing I could think to do.
03:37I went to the kitchen and found a phone hung on the wall.
03:40I picked it off the receiver and dialed 911.
03:43The first thing I said when they answered was in a whisper, please come to this house.
03:47I've been kidnapped.
03:47They heard me.
03:49They acknowledged me, but I didn't say another word.
03:52I hid the phone under a towel in the corner of the room with 911 still on the line.
03:57I hurried back to where the man left me as I already heard his footsteps coming back upstairs.
04:01Then he called my name, saying, come down, Dennis is down here.
04:05Then there was a pause.
04:07He repeated my name, and when I didn't answer, he came up the stairs fully to look at me.
04:12He asked me if I was okay.
04:14I felt so sick, and I was so scared.
04:17I hated myself for walking into this situation and not being wiser.
04:21I asked in a very scared voice if I could leave, and I remember the change in his face.
04:26His fake, friendly smile disappeared as he realized that I was no longer falling for this.
04:31He walked closer to me in a gentle manner until he was close enough to grab my wrist aggressively,
04:37and he started pulling me towards the basement.
04:38I screamed and cried, and he screamed at me, I'll let you go if you stop and behave.
04:45So I listened.
04:46I went down the stairs, and halfway down, the door slammed shut behind me, and I heard it lock.
04:52I walked fully down the stairs to this empty, unfinished basement with a concrete floor
04:57and one singular support beam in the middle of the room.
05:00There was a depressing yellow glow in the room from one exposed light bulb hanging on the ceiling.
05:04If there was a place you'd imagine kidnapped children to go, this would be it.
05:09I heard his heavy footsteps upstairs.
05:11You could hear everything in this house.
05:13I don't know what he was doing, but I heard him walking around for a while.
05:16Then he came to the basement door, opened it, and he called down, asking if I'm hungry.
05:22I replied no.
05:23I didn't want him going into the kitchen seeing the missing phone.
05:26He shut the door and locked it again.
05:29I sat down there, waiting, with my heart in my throat, and then I heard it.
05:35The doorbell ringing three times from upstairs, followed by banging sounds, which were definitely
05:40the sounds of police banging on the door.
05:42I would refrain from screaming until I heard the front door open, but I never heard the man's
05:46footsteps approach the door.
05:48The doorbell kept ringing, and I kept hearing the bangs.
05:51This went on for some time, until I heard a really loud bang sound, and then multiple
05:56heavy footsteps and multiple screaming voices.
05:59I started screaming for help as loud as I could at the top of the stairs, banging on the door.
06:05The door was unlocked, and a police officer on the other side grabbed hold of me and hurried
06:09me outside.
06:10There were at least three cop cars outside.
06:13I had to tell everything to two of the cops outside as we waited for my parents to show
06:17up.
06:17The man from inside was brought outside and into a cop car in handcuffs, and that was the
06:22last time I ever saw him.
06:24When my parents arrived on the scene, my mom was bawling her eyes out.
06:28There had already been a whole scene at the school as cops were called and Dennis' dad realized
06:32what happened.
06:33This man was a work associate of Dennis' father.
06:36When he somehow learned that Dennis' dad would be picking up Dennis and I from school
06:40on the last day, he seized the opportunity to do what he did.
06:44A complete sick fuck.
06:45I don't know how he found out what I looked like.
06:48As I got older, I never really asked for more details because I try not to think about
06:52it.
06:53My mom went to counseling with me for months after this incident.
06:57Let's just say my parents didn't have kind words for Ms. Blue, not verifying if I actually
07:01knew the person picking me up.
07:03If I didn't think to call the police before he basically threw me in that basement, I
07:07know for a fact I'd be dead right now.
07:10This was like 17 years ago.
07:12That man might be out of prison for all I know.
07:14It was junior year of high school, and it was the last day of school.
07:28A lot of people cut school this day or left early after lunch period.
07:31My friends and I were some of the latter.
07:34It was a stormy, dark day.
07:36A bunch of people from our grade originally planned to hit the beach on the last day of
07:39school, but that was obviously cancelled.
07:41So my smaller core group of friends decided to do something else.
07:45There used to be an abandoned elementary school in town that hadn't been used for like 10
07:49years.
07:50There were plans to tear it down by the year's end.
07:53So, still wanting to do something fun on the last day of school, we all agreed to break
07:57into the building and just fuck around exploring.
08:00There were no cameras in that old building.
08:02And on a stormy day, no one would be outside monitoring the place or anything.
08:06So, we all left after lunch period.
08:09Our friend Eddie already had a car and his license, so he drove us all to the abandoned
08:13school.
08:14The school was in the middle of a neighborhood.
08:16Not on any main roads or anything.
08:19There was a back parking lot covered by overgrown bushes and trees on one side, and the walls
08:24of the school on two other sides.
08:26It was a perfect spot to park and go unnoticed.
08:28The place wasn't boarded up or anything, it was just locked up.
08:33Eddie had a baseball bat in his trunk that he took out to smash one of the windows of
08:36the school.
08:37I was honestly so nervous that even through the pouring rain, one of the houses over the
08:41fence would hear the smashing sound.
08:43We all watched and nervously laughed as Eddie swung the bat into the window in front of the
08:47car, and after a few good swings, smashing it.
08:51He pushed away the stray pieces of glass stuck to the frame with the bat, and then he waved us
08:55over.
08:56We one by one climbed through the window into the school.
08:59My logic was that the school was being torn down anyway.
09:02What does a broken window matter?
09:04We all were inside the building now.
09:06The window we climbed through was actually one of the windows for a classroom.
09:10A lot of stuff was still left in the room, including the desks and some decorations on
09:13the walls.
09:15Based on the decorations, it looked like we were in a fourth or fifth grade classroom.
09:19It was very surreal to be inside of what was once an active classroom where little kids
09:23would come to learn.
09:24Now nothing but a cold, dark, and abandoned room collecting dust waiting to be destroyed.
09:30The sounds of thunder and lightning outside also added to the surreal feeling of it all.
09:35There were no lights on in the building.
09:37Power to the place was likely cut completely.
09:39We anticipated this, though.
09:41The flashlights on our phones were plenty to get around and see.
09:45Even without them, it wasn't completely pitch black in there, as even though it was a dark
09:49day, some light was still creeping in through the windows and doors.
09:52We started traversing the hallways, going from room to room.
09:56Each classroom was still full of desks and chairs that hadn't been sat in in probably a decade.
10:02We all four were in the same classroom, and there was a sound that echoed down the hallway
10:06and into the classroom.
10:07We all went silent and turned off our lights for a moment.
10:11After a flash of lightning, we slowly accepted that it was probably nothing, so we continued
10:16on.
10:17We just went from room to room as our wet shoes all squeaked on the floors.
10:22Sneaking around wasn't possible, really.
10:25A lot of things in the school were visibly decaying.
10:28You could really tell no one had stepped foot in there in ages.
10:31As we neared the corner of the hall, I turned around just to look back down the other way,
10:36and at the doorway of one of the classrooms, it looked like there was something sticking
10:39out from the classroom.
10:41I asked my friends to also look.
10:43Their lights would maybe help see what it was.
10:45When all four of us were pointing our phone flashlights toward the door, whatever that
10:50thing we were seeing was retracted into the classroom.
10:53All four of us quietly went oh shit amongst ourselves, and we started running down the
10:57intersecting hallway.
10:59We stopped when we were far enough away.
11:01It seemed we were in the kindergarten wing now.
11:04Then we heard another sound echo from down the hallway.
11:07It seemed we weren't alone.
11:11But who could be in here was the question.
11:13The place was locked up, and every light in the building was off.
11:16The sound scared us into going into the first classroom we could find and shutting the door.
11:21It was indeed a kindergarten classroom.
11:24We were now concerned we'd get in trouble, so we waited in silence with our flashlights
11:28off.
11:29The rain was still coming down hard, and there was still thunder and lightning crashing every
11:34twenty seconds or so.
11:35Suddenly, the door to the classroom clicked open, and someone pushed it as it eerily creaked
11:40to a fully open position.
11:43We didn't see anyone at the doorway, though, and the hallway was almost pitch black.
11:47We all tried our best to stay quiet.
11:50And then, slowly, something appeared through the doorway.
11:53It was the shape of a head.
11:56We all saw it, and when there was another flash of lightning, we saw what it was.
12:01It was, in fact, someone's head, looking into the classroom directly at us.
12:05I started apologizing for all of us, saying we're leaving.
12:09The person at the doorway didn't move.
12:12They motionlessly and almost lifelessly just peered around the doorway in the classroom.
12:17Eddie asked, do you work here?
12:19No response.
12:21Eddie had to fuck this moment, clearly.
12:23He handed me the bat as he struggled to unlock one of the windows to slide it open just enough
12:27to crawl through.
12:29He crawled out first, then my other two friends, and I was last.
12:34Before I crawled out, I looked back one more time at the head at the doorway.
12:38I crawled through as quickly as I could, fearing I'd hear the person run up behind me and grab
12:43my legs.
12:44Once I was out, I ran to catch up with my friends who were already booking it back to
12:48Eddie's car.
12:50We drove out of there in a hurry and never looked back.
12:52The building was torn down later that year and has since been turned into a park.
12:57We never got in trouble for breaking in.
13:00To this day, we have no idea if that was some kind of worker or just some random person.
13:05Either way, it was extremely creepy behavior on their part.
13:08When I was a freshman in college, I took a chemistry class.
13:23It was really difficult for me.
13:25The tables were arranged in groups of four.
13:28I sat at a middle table at the left side all the way to the end.
13:32Next to me was a guy named Zach.
13:33He was very awkward.
13:35He gave me Reddit moderator vibes.
13:38To describe his appearance, he was like 5'8", he was a little overweight, and he had a really
13:43ugly, patchy beard.
13:45But he knew his stuff and chemistry.
13:47I think he was just good in school overall.
13:50We started to talk in a pretty cordial way when he noticed I sucked in class and I would
13:55ask him for help.
13:56He started offering to do my homework for me, and he even let me cheat off him on tests.
14:02I never got any kind of flirtatious vibes from Zach, but that might have been because
14:06he was just too awkward to flirt in person.
14:09He eventually asked for my number so that he could send me homework-related stuff.
14:13Obviously, I gave it to him.
14:15He was helping me out a ton and didn't give off any threatening vibes.
14:18He just seemed a little reclusive.
14:21Fast forward to the last day of class, and Zach did something completely unexpected.
14:26He asked me if I wanted to go on a date with him after class.
14:29I had no physical attraction to Zach in the slightest, and our personalities were complete
14:34opposites.
14:35But he did help me throughout the semester maintain an A, so I had to let him down super
14:40politely.
14:41I lied and told him I'm going away to Miami for the next couple of weeks and won't be
14:45around.
14:46He right away responded, what about when you get back?
14:49I felt like two weeks was long enough of a gap in seeing each other where he would probably
14:53lose interest.
14:54So I said, yeah, it could be around, or something like that.
14:58He responded with a really cringy, cool, as he nodded his head in response.
15:04From here till the end of class that day was really awkward for me.
15:08After class, I left straight from my car and drove right home.
15:12I was a commuter, not a dormer.
15:13So after the last day of class was over, that was it.
15:17It was Thursday, and my other friends who went to the same school wanted to go out that
15:21night, so we hit town that night, and at some point, I got a text from Zach.
15:26He asked, when are you going to Miami?
15:28I told my friends all about Zach while we were drunk, how he got me an A, but now he
15:33wanted a date.
15:34My friends joked that I should just go on the date with him to be nice.
15:37I joked back sarcastically, yeah, for sure.
15:41I told myself I'd respond to it later, but I was drunk and completely forgot to.
15:47The next day, I woke up to two follow-up texts, one with question marks, and then the next
15:52one, you're going to ignore me now that you don't need me anymore, right?
15:55So I replied, hey, I'm sorry, I was packing.
15:59I'm going to Miami today.
16:01He replied almost instantly, saying, okay.
16:05Obviously, there was no Miami trip, but he should have never found that out.
16:10Later that night, my girls and I went out again, and while out, I got a scary text from
16:15Zach, saying, I thought you said you were going to Miami tonight.
16:19I almost dropped my drink when I saw this.
16:22I showed it to my girls, and they were all freaked out just like I was.
16:26I replied to Zach, what do you mean?
16:28And he replied, nothing, forget it.
16:30I just don't like liars.
16:32I genuinely was scared that I was being stalked.
16:36I looked around the whole bar, but he wasn't there, at least as far as I knew.
16:40So what the hell?
16:42I just didn't answer.
16:43At that point, I never planned on answering him again.
16:46It wasn't until late that night, shortly after I got home, like literally taking my shoes
16:51off inside, that there were knocks at the door.
16:53It had to be like 1am.
16:56I said, who is it?
16:58And it was Zach on the other side.
17:00He said, it's me.
17:02I wanted to scream.
17:04I was home alone.
17:05I yelled through the door to leave, or my dad will come out and kick your ass.
17:09That seemed to work, as he didn't knock again.
17:12I texted everyone I knew about this situation.
17:15My family, all my friends.
17:17I was horrified.
17:18Some suggested calling the police.
17:22I said I would go to the nearest station tomorrow.
17:24But tomorrow didn't even come yet, when I received a super long, disgustingly weird
17:29and creepy text from guess who.
17:31I was appalled when I picked up my phone and read it.
17:35This is what it said.
17:36I'm feeling a lot of emotions right now after being used by someone for months and then
17:41lied to.
17:41And hurt and anger are two of them.
17:44I thought from the start of the semester in chemistry class that our chemistry was through
17:48the roof.
17:49No pun intended.
17:50I must say, I am hurt that you would make up something as elaborate as a two-week-long
17:54Miami trip just to avoid going out with me.
17:57Even after I stuck my neck out for you all semester and risked my own academic standing.
18:01I definitely have noticed the way you looked at me sometimes in class and I can't pretend
18:06there wasn't a hint of interest there.
18:08All I'm asking for at this point is for one date.
18:11That's it.
18:12I'm not asking your hand at marriage.
18:14Though I surely would be quite an ideal husband to have if I do say so myself.
18:19I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you needed more time to think over
18:22the prospect of going on a date with me.
18:24I know how much I have to offer.
18:26Much more than these losers all over campus.
18:29If you want, I can come back to your house and we can talk about it in person.
18:33I am only making this all for once.
18:35I'm just very crushed to feel like I wasted so much this semester for nothing in return.
18:40Yours truly, Zach.
18:42I sent this to everyone.
18:44I didn't care that it was 3am.
18:46I called my dad until he picked up and I told him how scared I was.
18:51After he read the text, he took it upon himself to send Zach a lengthy text of his own and he
18:55attempted to call him like 10 times but Zach is clearly too much of a coward to pick up
18:59that phone call.
19:01I also went to the police station the next day with the text saying I wanted to press
19:04charges and one of the people working there said that Zach would be contacted.
19:09Zach never picked up any of the calls from the police who were trying to get him to come
19:13in for questioning nor did he answer any of their text messages.
19:17Zach completely disappeared.
19:19I never heard from him again.
19:21Between the police contacting him and my dad's pretty scary texts and voicemails, that basement
19:26dwelling creep probably was shitting himself.
19:29Luckily, I never saw him on campus again or anything like that.
19:32But I can say, I know what it's like to deal with an actual stalker.
