00:00Hey Wansie, I've been watching your videos for years and today I finally decided to share my story with you.
00:07My name is Gabriela, I'm from Brazil, but I live in England now and what I'm about to tell you
00:13still traumatizes me to this day.
00:15I have an older sister named Ainz. She was 22 at the time and I was 16.
00:20She was staying with our aunt in Brazil for her gap year and I couldn't go because I still had
00:25school.
00:26So we mostly FaceTimed every day to stay close.
00:30But one night, a Friday night, everything changed.
00:33I was lying on my bed, just chatting with her on FaceTime, when suddenly she froze.
00:38Her eyes were wide, staring at something behind her phone that I couldn't see.
00:42I asked her, what happened?
00:44She whispered that for the past few days, she had seen a man, a man holding an umbrella, just standing
00:50perfectly still outside.
00:53But she said something that made my heart drop.
00:56She said, he has a shadow, so it can't be a ghost.
01:00I laughed at her for being scared. I really thought she was just overreacting.
01:04Then she ended the call. A few seconds later, she sent me a video.
01:17I watched it, and I told myself it was nothing.
01:20I tried to brush it off, but I shouldn't have.
01:23The next day, I went out with my friends, Benjamin, Sandra, and Darren.
01:27We were the type of kids who loved messing around and getting into trouble.
01:31That night, we went to the park at 11pm, vaping and hanging out, until Sandra pulled out a Ouija board.
01:38I was excited. I believed in the paranormal, but I didn't realize this night would change that belief forever.
01:44I FaceTimed my sister again and showed her the board.
01:48Her face instantly turned pale.
01:50She started screaming at me not to play with it.
01:52I ignored her. I hung up.
01:54She kept calling, but I didn't answer.
01:57Sandra started the session.
01:58She put her fingers on the planchette, the small piece you use on the board, and asked,
02:03Is anyone here?
02:06Nothing happened, so I grabbed the planchette myself and, like an idiot, asked,
02:11Is the man my sister saw in Brazil a ghost or a human?
02:15The moment I said those words, the Ouija board flew out of my hands.
02:20Not slipped, not fell. It was yanked with force and thrown onto the ground.
02:25We all screamed and ran home.
02:27My mom yelled at me for being out so late, but I couldn't even think straight.
02:31The next day, things got worse.
02:34The lights started switching off while I was in the shower.
02:37I heard voices calling my name when no one was home.
02:40I woke up with bruises on my knees that I couldn't explain.
02:43That's when I told my mom everything, every detail.
02:46She didn't ask a single question. She just called a priest.
02:50He came to our house, prayed over every room, blessed the house, blessed me.
02:55And after that, everything stopped.
02:57And I still wear a rosary every day, a cross necklace Christians use for protection.
03:02I never take it off.
03:04Not after what happened.
03:08This happened in 2019, when I was working in Tokyo, Japan.
03:12I had moved to a place called Setageya Ward.
03:16I loved it because it was a quiet city and it was only a 20-minute train ride to Tokyo.
03:21The house was an old two-story house, but the problem was the neighbor next door.
03:27The door was red and rusted as if no one had lived there for a long time and the area
03:33in front was overgrown with knee-high weeds.
03:36The owner of that house must always be walking through those weeds.
03:41Every day when I left my house, I looked at the house next door and thought of that.
03:46The reason I was certain the house wasn't abandoned was because I had already asked the landlord when I moved
03:52in.
03:52The landlord told me about the man who lived there, who only slept there once a week or once a
03:58month.
03:58Other than that, the house was mostly empty and she wasn't sure why.
04:03I felt uneasy, but I just brushed it off.
04:06Then one day, exhausted from work, I was walking home when I glanced over at my neighbor's house and saw
04:12a dark silhouette standing in the window.
04:15The figure was staring at me.
04:17I was startled for a moment, but then I turned my head away, pretended not to see him, and went
04:23back inside.
04:24A moment later, someone knocked on my front door.
04:27I asked who was outside, and a man told me in Japanese that he was my neighbor.
04:33I was momentarily lost in thought.
04:35Honestly, I didn't want to open the door.
04:38So, for about five minutes, I stood in silence, trying to decide what to do.
04:44Silence flowed, and I couldn't tell if he was still there or if he had left.
04:48And then the silence continued, and I finally assumed he had left, and I felt a little relieved.
04:54The next day, as I was leaving for work, my heart nearly stopped.
04:59Because on the wall, next to my front door, was written in red,
05:03Henry, my name.
05:05It looked like it was written in red lipstick.
05:07I couldn't figure out how he knew my name.
05:10I suddenly remembered my landlord and felt a surge of anger.
05:14She was the only person I could imagine would know.
05:17I called her and got angry out of the blue.
05:20She, in a dumbfounded voice, said she'd never spoken to my neighbor.
05:25I thought she was lying, but there was nothing I could do, so I just let it slide.
05:30A few days later, the weeds that had once overgrown my neighbor's house were all neatly mowed.
05:35And then one day, I finally ran into my neighbor outside.
05:39He looked straight at me and shouted something in Japanese, his voice sharp and aggressive.
05:45I wasn't very good at it, so I couldn't understand.
05:48I just smiled awkwardly and waved at him.
05:51But I can't forget his face at that moment.
05:54It was filled with utter rage.
05:57I couldn't figure out what I had done wrong.
05:59I was just panicked and felt sweat drip down my back.
06:03But the man's expression was nothing but utter rage.
06:07It was a weekend a while later.
06:09I usually slept in until noon on weekends, so I was sleeping that day too.
06:14Suddenly, a loud noise outside my front door woke me up.
06:19At first, I couldn't tell what it was, but when I listened closely, I realized it was a chainsaw.
06:25The loud, wearing noise was right in front of my door.
06:29Then, I heard a loud knock on the door.
06:32My heart raced.
06:33I had a gut feeling it was him, my neighbor.
06:36He stood there with the chainsaw running, revving it again and again.
06:41Then, what was he planning?
06:43I didn't open the door, but he stood there for a long moment, continuing to rev the chainsaw.
06:49I yelled that I was calling the police, but he didn't seem to hear me over the noise of the
06:54chainsaw.
06:55I was terrified, but after a while, he left.
06:58A short time later, the police arrived and spoke with the man, who told them he'd only come to talk
07:04to me, and that he'd used the chainsaw to cut down a tree in his yard.
07:08After that day, I decided to talk to my landlord and move elsewhere.
07:13I'll never forget the last time I moved.
07:16As I was loading my belongings onto the truck, I saw him standing in his window.
07:21He was looking at me with a smile.
07:23He was holding something in his hand, a small, rabbit-like animal, limp and dripping fresh blood.
07:30I was so shocked that I quickly packed my belongings and left.
07:34I never returned.
07:36To this day, I still don't know who that man was or what he wanted from me.
07:41But one thing is certain, he wasn't just strange, he was dangerous.
07:48It all started with me and my girlfriend arguing on the phone.
07:52Why do you always lie to me, Marcus?
07:54She screamed.
07:56She was very mad at me, but our relationship wasn't going anywhere anymore.
07:59We argued all the time.
08:01She was always busy and could never talk to me, but I was just annoyed with my life, and I
08:06always took it out on her.
08:07Of course, she didn't deserve it, but she would love to mess with me at the wrong times.
08:12This time, I'll break up with you for real.
08:15Once she said that, I didn't believe her, because this would be the sixth time she had said this.
08:20Fine, leave me.
08:21You're just going to come back anyway.
08:23I said with an attitude.
08:24As I sat there and waited for a response, there was nothing but silence.
08:28I was confused and just guessed she went on mute, but suddenly, she whispered into the speaker.
08:34Someone is here.
08:36My heart dropped.
08:37At first, I thought she was joking.
08:39Stop joking, Layla.
08:40That's not funny.
08:42All I could hear was shuffling and movement.
08:44I didn't know what to do.
08:45All I could do was think of the worst.
08:47She whispered,
08:48I'm not joking.
08:50I'm scared, Marcus.
08:51I'm scared.
08:52After she said that, utter fear shocked through my body.
08:56I was scared, too.
08:57I heard her hard breathing and the trembling in her voice.
09:00I hear them coming upstairs.
09:03I didn't know what to do.
09:04So many thoughts ran through my head, and all I could think of were the what-ifs.
09:09At first, I thought I should call the police, but I didn't want to hang up, because what if something
09:13happened?
09:14I needed to hear.
09:15I couldn't use anyone else's phone.
09:17I was home alone.
09:19Then, I thought to text her mother, but I remembered her mom slept downstairs, and the intruder probably already got
09:25to her.
09:26I had so much adrenaline, but I had to calm myself down so I could listen to what was happening.
09:31As I waited, I got impatient and scared, wondering if something was happening.
09:35So I texted her so my voice wouldn't get caught.
09:38I texted,
09:39What's going on now?
09:41As the text delivered, I heard my message ring from her phone.
09:45Her ringer was on.
09:46My heart dropped when I heard it.
09:48It was loud and vibrated the floor.
09:50She heard it as well and gasped.
09:53As what happened, I heard her door open.
09:55I knew it was too late, and I started to cry.
09:58She whispered to me,
09:59I love you forever, Marcus.
10:01Those were her last words.
10:03I was muted, of course, but all I could do was start praying.
10:06Hoping, maybe, just maybe, the intruder wouldn't find her.
10:11Unfortunately, he found her, and what I heard that night will haunt me forever.
10:16I heard her screaming, yelling at him.
10:18Stop!
10:19No, please!
10:21I couldn't bear to hear her.
10:22I was so scared.
10:23I covered my ears, crying.
10:25I'm still not sure what he did to her, but her screams didn't last long.
10:29When it ended, I knew she was gone.
10:32I unmuted and whispered,
10:34Layla, are you there?
10:36It was silent, and after a while, I guess the phone died, because the call just disconnected.
10:41The police announced my girlfriend and her mother dead on the scene.
10:45They took me in for questioning because I was on the phone and heard everything that night.
10:50They asked me so many questions, and I told them the whole story.
10:53They asked me,
10:54Why didn't you call the police?
10:56My eyes started to water, a hard lump forming in my throat.
11:01I told them I was scared and didn't want to hang up.
11:03Plus, I didn't know exactly where she lived.
11:06They believed me and finally gave in, and took me off the suspect list.
11:10Good.
11:11I smiled.
11:12They will never find out what happened.
11:14She's been cheating on me for weeks.
11:17She would always lie to me, saying she was going to the store or somewhere else, but she
11:21was really going to his house.
11:23Little did she know I had her location and knew what was going on.
11:27That's why we argued.
11:28So, she just had to go.
11:31He doesn't deserve her.
11:32She's mine.
11:33All mine.
11:34Now, I'll have her with me forever, thanks to my buddy for handling my dirty work.
11:39I wait patiently for time to pass, until he takes care of that boy, too.
11:43Then justice will be served.
11:45That's what she gets for cheating on me.
11:50Hi, I'm Ray.
11:51This isn't my own experience, but my friend Mary's, and it still gives me chills.
11:56Mary and I are 11th graders at a university known for one thing.
12:01The color pink.
12:02Our campus practically bleeds pink.
12:05Uniforms, banners, even the school merch.
12:08It used to be an all-girls school, and that history comes with stories.
12:12People say strange things happen after 6pm.
12:16Former students talk about hearing a dog bark late at night.
12:20Some even claim they've seen the foundress of the school roaming the halls.
12:25One afternoon, we had to stay late to finish a filming project.
12:29The building we were in has a reputation for being haunted, but I never took the rumors seriously.
12:35To see is to believe, right?
12:37While we were working, Mary asked me to go with her to the restroom so she could touch up her
12:42makeup.
12:43I didn't want to.
12:44The ladies' room is a floor down, but I agreed because I also needed water from the fountain by the
12:50teacher's faculty.
12:52I filled my flask and waited, wondering why she was taking so long.
12:56When I finally walked to the restroom entrance, Mary came bursting out and grabbed my arm.
13:02She looked pale and shaken.
13:05We ran back upstairs together.
13:07I demanded.
13:08What's wrong?
13:09She could barely speak at first, then told me what she'd seen.
13:13I was doing my makeup in front of the mirror, she said.
13:17And you can see the cubicles behind you in the reflection.
13:20The closed cubicle that's supposed to be for teachers only?
13:23I saw a woman's head peeking over the top.
13:27Her hair was in a bun.
13:29I could see her slippers at the bottom, and she was wearing a long dress.
13:32I couldn't tell whether to be terrified or skeptical, but Mary's face made it real.
13:38I joked.
13:39Maybe you saw the foundress.
13:41But it didn't feel like a joke.
13:43We told our classmates.
13:44Some listened, some rolled their eyes, but nobody could fake the look on Mary's face.
13:50A few days later, at an organizational fair held on the third floor, we walked past a wall of portraits.
13:56Mary froze and pointed.
13:58There, in a frame, was a painting of the exact woman she'd described.
14:04Under the portrait was the foundress's name, and the year the school was founded.
14:09Seeing that painting made everything click, or maybe it made the whole thing worse.
14:14Whether you call it a ghost, a memory, or something else, Mary's face when she saw that portrait is something
14:21I won't forget.
14:24So, my story happened when I was in my high school days with my sister.
14:28Back when I was in high school, I really loved this anime called Black Butler.
14:33It was about a demon having a contract with a human.
14:36I was really addicted to that anime, so I used the pentagram in the anime as my wallpaper.
14:42A couple of days went by fine, until one day, something bizarre happened.
14:47My sister, who was in college at that time, and I, who was in high school, shared the same room.
14:52We had a bunk bed.
14:54My sister slept on top while I slept on the bottom.
14:56Since I was still in high school, I always set an alarm for 4 a.m.
15:01Before sleeping, I always put my phone beside me so I could easily turn off the alarm and wake up.
15:07So me and my sister were about to fall asleep.
15:10We turned off the lights and hit the bed.
15:12While we were sleeping, my alarm rang.
15:14I tried to grab my phone while my eyes were still closed, because I was still sleepy.
15:19But while trying to search for my phone, I was a bit confused.
15:23I couldn't find my phone beside me.
15:25The phone kept ringing, and I even asked my sister in a sleepy tone,
15:29Where is my phone?
15:31She answered back in a sleepy yet annoyed tone,
15:35I don't know.
15:35Since the alarm was still ringing for like 5 minutes, I asked her again.
15:40I can hear it up there.
15:42Stop joking around and give it to me.
15:44Then she answered back.
15:46Okay, I found it.
15:47Here you go.
15:48So I opened my eyes a bit, but my vision was still blurry since it was dark and I was
15:52half asleep.
15:53So I didn't pay much attention to my surroundings.
15:56My sister's arms stretched out from the top bunk to give me my phone.
16:00But when I looked at it, it had thin, long fingers with sharp nails on it.
16:05I was still sleepy at that time, so I didn't fully comprehend what happened.
16:10When I looked at my phone, it was 3 a.m., but I was sure my alarm was always set
16:14for 4 a.m.
16:15Again, I was too sleepy, so I brushed everything off.
16:19When it was 6 a.m., I was having a conversation with my sister.
16:22I asked her,
16:24Why didn't you stop the alarm?
16:26You had my phone, right?
16:27And then came the scary part.
16:29My sister replied in a confused tone.
16:32What the hell are you talking about?
16:34I was never awake to begin with.
16:36I was never talking to you that early either.
16:38My heart stopped for a moment, and cold sweat ran down my cheeks as I replied.
16:44Then, who was I talking to?
16:46And who gave me my phone?
16:48Then I remembered everything.
16:49My sister and I looked at each other in horror.
16:52And that day, I've never had that wallpaper on my walls again.
16:56That night, my sister and I both slept on the bottom bed.
16:59Until this day, my sister and I still remember that horrifying experience in our lives.
17:05Sometimes I wonder, what if I hadn't been sleepy that night and actually stood up from my bed?
17:12This happened to me about nine months ago.
17:15I'm still recovering from everything that happened.
17:17I used to be a shy girl with no friends.
17:20I never used social media because I thought it would distract me from my studies.
17:25But on January 2nd, I decided to try Instagram for the first time,
17:30hoping maybe I could finally make some friends.
17:32While scrolling, I found an account that posted funny videos.
17:36It caught my attention, so I messaged the account.
17:39The person running it was the same age as me.
17:42For privacy, I'll call her Renata.
17:44We became close fast.
17:46At first, we just shared funny reels.
17:49Then we started talking about our personal lives.
17:51I told her how lonely I felt and how she was basically my only friend.
17:55She even sent pictures of her family and gave me her address, telling me I could visit someday.
18:00But after about a month, she suddenly stopped replying.
18:04I kept sending her reels, asking if she was okay.
18:07Nothing.
18:08A week later, she finally messaged me, but all she said was,
18:12I'm fine.
18:13I told her how worried I was, but she said everything was okay.
18:17Looking back, that was the first red flag.
18:20After that, whenever I sent her something funny, she reacted with just an emoji.
18:24And anytime I tried to talk about something deeper, she replied with,
18:28Oh.
18:29Hmm.
18:31Then one day, she sent me a message I will never forget.
18:34It was long, detailed, and it described exactly how to kidnap and kill a person.
18:40I was terrified.
18:42I thought it had to be a joke, but nothing about it sounded playful.
18:45The same girl who used to send me memes was now writing like a complete psychopath.
18:51Then she asked me for my address.
18:53That was when I knew something was truly wrong.
18:55I sent her a voice note telling her that what she sent me made me extremely uncomfortable,
19:01and that she shouldn't ever message me like that again.
19:04Honestly, I could not even finish reading that essay about killing someone.
19:08I just couldn't.
19:09Her reply was even more disturbing.
19:11She texted,
19:12Which part of that message made you uncomfortable?
19:15I stopped replying, and I blocked her immediately.
19:18About a week later, I went out of town to visit my aunt,
19:21and that's when I realized something strange.
19:24The address Renata had given me earlier was near where I was staying.
19:29Even though I was hurt and scared, a part of me still cared.
19:32She had been my only friend.
19:34So I decided to visit her.
19:36It would have been our first time meeting in person.
19:38The neighborhood was confusing,
19:39but the neighbors helped me find the house after I showed them her photo.
19:44I didn't understand why they helped so quickly.
19:47Now I do.
19:48The house was big, just like the photos she showed me.
19:51Quiet.
19:52Still.
19:53Almost too still.
19:54I rang the doorbell.
19:56A woman opened the door.
19:57It was Renata's mother.
19:58I nervously said,
20:00Hi, I'm here to meet Renata.
20:02Her mother looked like she was about to faint.
20:05A man, her older brother Ryan, rushed over,
20:08looking angry and terrified at the same time.
20:11That's when I noticed it.
20:13A framed picture of Renata on the wall,
20:15with flower garlands around it.
20:17My whole body went cold.
20:19They told me Renata was dead.
20:21She had been killed by a psychopath.
20:23The police were still searching for him.
20:25And the worst part?
20:26The way she was killed was exactly the same method
20:29described in the message that was sent to me.
20:32I told her family everything.
20:34They were devastated.
20:35Her brother called the police and tried to comfort me.
20:38After that, I don't know what happened.
20:40I didn't ask.
20:41I didn't want to.
20:42I never went near that house again.
20:44The whole situation left me terrified and completely alone.
20:48My family helped me through it, and therapy helped too.
20:51I'm doing better now, but I still think about it.
20:54And I keep wondering,
20:55what if I had given that account my real address?
20:58Who was behind that account?
21:00And why were they messaging me from my friend's phone,
21:03even after killing her?
21:07June 9th, 2013.
21:09Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Cougar, Washington.
21:13One of the oldest national forests in the United States.
21:16A 19-year-old woman went camping here with her friends.
21:20And late at night, she walked alone into the deep woods.
21:23She disappeared and has never been found.
21:26This story is true.
21:28Her name was Maureen Kelly, born in 1993.
21:30She had gone camping at Canyon Creek Campground with several friends.
21:36But during the trip, something changed.
21:38Out of nowhere, she said,
21:40I'm going on a spiritual quest.
21:43Then she did something no one expected.
21:46She stripped off all of her clothes,
21:47and put on a small pouch around her waist.
21:51Inside that pouch were only three things.
21:53A knife, matches, and a compass.
21:56That was it.
21:57No food, no water, no lantern.
22:00She promised her friends,
22:02I'll be back before midnight.
22:04And then she walked straight into the forest.
22:06One of her friends, Amanda Ziegler,
22:09later said that Maureen had talked many times
22:11about wanting a spiritual experience.
22:14But even she could not understand
22:16why Maureen chose that moment,
22:18or why she went in completely unclothed.
22:21The group eventually fell asleep,
22:23and when morning came,
22:24and Maureen had still not returned,
22:27they called for help.
22:28Authorities launched a massive search,
22:30more than 100 people.
22:32Helicopters sweeping the forest canopy,
22:35search teams combing the undergrowth.
22:37They found a set of footprints on a gravel road
22:40near Canyon Creek.
22:41They matched Maureen's size.
22:44Canine units were brought in to follow the trail.
22:47But then, something strange happened.
22:49The footprints just stopped in the middle of the road.
22:53No sign of where she went next.
22:55The dogs could not pick up her scent.
22:57It was as if she had simply vanished.
23:01Investigators suggested hypothermia
23:03was the most likely explanation.
23:05Nighttime temperatures were low,
23:07and she had walked into the forest
23:08with no clothing at all.
23:10But if she died from exposure,
23:12why was her body never found?
23:14Online, people who claimed to know her
23:17described the case the same way.
23:20Strange.
23:20Strange.
23:21Unsettling.
23:22Unexplainable.
23:23Some believed she was kidnapped,
23:25though the odds of meeting a violent stranger
23:27in those remote woods at night
23:29were extremely small.
23:31Others thought she may have crawled under a fallen log,
23:34or into a crevice to escape the cold,
23:36and never made it out.
23:38But the biggest question remains,
23:40why did she suddenly strip naked,
23:41and walk alone into the forest?
23:44What was she thinking?
23:45What did she believe she would find?
23:48Twelve years later,
23:49there are still no answers.
23:51Maureen Kelly remains missing,
23:53and her disappearance
23:54remains one of Washington's
23:56most haunting unsolved mysteries.
24:01Hi Wansie.
24:02I wanted to share my story
24:04that happened just this morning.
24:06I live in a squatters area,
24:07and the houses here are made of plywood.
24:10Just to give you some context,
24:11I'm a 17-year-old girl
24:13with a short, small build,
24:14and in our neighborhood,
24:15we have two homes.
24:17One is made of plywood,
24:18and the other one is a concrete house
24:20that is bigger and much safer.
24:22Let's begin.
24:23Last night,
24:24me, my two friends,
24:26and my boyfriend
24:27decided to hang out at our safer house.
24:29We talked until 11 p.m.,
24:31and when they were ready to go home,
24:33I told them they could go with my mom,
24:35because she was heading to a funeral
24:36not too far from our other house.
24:39I figured I could come too,
24:40because I wanted to sleep alone
24:42in our plywood house.
24:43I always sleep more comfortably there.
24:46I asked my mom,
24:47and she said yes.
24:48I asked my boyfriend
24:49to carry out my two pillows and blanket,
24:51and he asked me
24:52if I would be okay sleeping on my own
24:54because he was worried
24:55something might happen.
24:56I should have listened to him.
24:58My boyfriend and my friend
24:59helped me take my things
25:00to the plywood house.
25:02The house is old,
25:03and it has a big hole in the wall
25:05that someone could easily use
25:06to get inside.
25:07I had a bad feeling,
25:09so I covered the hole with blankets
25:10because I was scared
25:12someone might watch me
25:13while I sleep.
25:14Then I tied the door
25:15with shoelaces
25:16just for extra security.
25:18After settling in,
25:20I played mobile legends
25:21with my boyfriend.
25:22He asked me if we could video call
25:24because he was still worried
25:25something might happen.
25:26I turned off the lights,
25:28but I suddenly had a bad feeling again,
25:31so I switched them back on.
25:32And that's the last thing I remember.
25:34I must have fallen asleep after that.
25:37Around 5 a.m.,
25:38I felt something above my head move.
25:41Then I felt the garter
25:42of my pajamas pulling.
25:44I woke up,
25:44and someone pushed a pillow
25:46over my face.
25:47I turned to my side to breathe
25:49and fought to get the pillow off me.
25:52I managed to pull it away
25:53and screamed for my uncle,
25:55who lives right next door
25:56to our house.
25:57The person ran
25:58and escaped through
25:59the big hole in the wall.
26:01I was crying
26:01as I told my uncle
26:02what happened.
26:03At first,
26:04they thought I was just dreaming,
26:05until I showed them
26:07the footprint the man
26:08left above my head.
26:09My uncle and auntie
26:11walked me back home,
26:12and I cried to my mom.
26:13I am just thankful
26:14I woke up when I did,
26:15and that he didn't have a knife.
26:17I keep thinking
26:18what could have happened
26:19if he did.
26:27This happened on April 29th, 2025.
26:30I was at my classmates' house
26:31because I had nothing to do,
26:33and I was getting bored
26:34waiting at my mom's workplace.
26:36So I decided to visit my friend.
26:38For privacy,
26:39let us call her Roush.
26:41Roush was upstairs in her room.
26:43Her brother was also upstairs
26:44in another room
26:45playing online games,
26:46and I was the only one
26:48downstairs in the living room.
26:49I am a very shy person.
26:51I hate taking pictures
26:52when someone is watching me.
26:54So since I was completely alone,
26:56I grabbed the chance
26:57to take a few selfies,
26:58and that was when I heard it.
27:00Something coming down the stairs.
27:02I froze,
27:03and quickly turned my head
27:05toward the staircase.
27:06But there was nothing there.
27:08No footsteps,
27:09no shadow,
27:10nothing unusual at all.
27:11So I shrugged it off,
27:13and kept taking pictures.
27:14I did not feel anything strange
27:16at the time,
27:17so I just ignored it.
27:18Fast forward.
27:19On July 17th,
27:21or maybe the 20th,
27:22there was a power outage.
27:24I was bored,
27:25so I started scrolling
27:26through my gallery.
27:27I found one of the live photos
27:29I took that day
27:30in Roush's living room.
27:31When I first played the live photo,
27:33everything looked normal.
27:34But when I tapped it again,
27:36something felt off.
27:38I tried to remember
27:39what I had been looking at
27:40on the stairs
27:41in that moment.
27:42So I played the live photo
27:43a third time,
27:44and that was when
27:45I finally saw it.
27:46The refrigerator opened by itself.
27:49A chill ran through
27:50my whole body.
27:51I replayed it over and over
27:53just to be sure.
27:54And then,
27:55I saw something else.
27:57Something even worse.
27:58There was a hand.
27:59A hand pulling
28:00the refrigerator door open.
28:02I knew for a fact
28:04I had been alone downstairs.
28:06Everyone else was still
28:07upstairs the entire time.
28:09I cannot say
28:10the photo was edited.
28:11I cannot say
28:12it was a prank.
28:13Because the video looks real.
28:15Too real.
28:20I'm a man in my 30s
28:21living in England.
28:22After work,
28:23I used to enjoy
28:23fishing by the river.
28:25On the weekend night
28:26when this incident occurred,
28:27I was night fishing
28:28near the river.
28:29Suddenly,
28:30four men came running
28:31toward me from afar.
28:33At first,
28:33it was dark,
28:34so I couldn't see them clearly.
28:35But as they got closer,
28:37I realized
28:38they were all wearing
28:39horse head masks.
28:40At first,
28:41I thought they were just
28:42teenagers playing around,
28:43but they were all huge,
28:45like athletes,
28:46and each was carrying
28:47a fishing rod.
28:48I heard them laughing,
28:49and one of them
28:50shouted at me,
28:51Bro,
28:52did you catch a lot?
28:53We're here to fish too.
28:55He tried to sound friendly,
28:56but something about his voice
28:57made my whole body tense.
28:59I looked around,
29:00but there was no one else there.
29:01I smiled awkwardly
29:03and replied,
29:04No,
29:05not yet.
29:06Then one of them said,
29:07Are there not many fish?
29:09It's okay.
29:09We're not catching fish.
29:11We're catching people.
29:13Bro,
29:13go into the river.
29:14We'll try to catch you
29:15with our fishing rods.
29:17Only then did I realize
29:18what was happening.
29:19A cold panic
29:20shot through me.
29:21One of them,
29:22wearing a leather jacket,
29:24approached me
29:24and handed me his phone.
29:26A video was playing
29:27on the screen.
29:27It was of a man
29:29struggling in a pool
29:30surrounded by horse-masked men
29:32casting fishing rods.
29:34They looked as if
29:35they were trying to catch
29:36the man like a fish
29:37and they were all laughing wickedly.
29:39The man in the pool
29:40was groaning in agony
29:41and his body was covered
29:43in wounds and blood
29:44as if real hooks
29:45had torn into him.
29:47The man in the leather jacket
29:48showed me the video
29:49shrugging his shoulders
29:50and laughing.
29:51Then he said,
29:52Decent in it.
29:53Do you want to play
29:54fishing with us?
29:55He showed me another video.
29:57This one of a man
29:58swimming desperately
29:59while masked men
30:00cast their lines
30:01at him over and over.
30:02I was so shocked
30:03I almost vomited.
30:04Then they slowly
30:05walked toward me,
30:07trying to surround me.
30:08I'll never forget
30:09that moment.
30:09It felt like the world
30:11slowed down
30:11and I was watching
30:12my own death
30:13coming for me.
30:14I decided to take a gamble.
30:16I instantly swung
30:17my fishing rod at them
30:18with all my might.
30:20They were startled
30:21and dodged.
30:22Then I ran like crazy.
30:23I'd been a fast runner
30:25since I was a child.
30:26They chased me
30:27but I barely managed
30:28to outrun them.
30:29As I ran,
30:30I saw people downtown
30:31in the distance.
30:32I shouted to get
30:33someone's attention.
30:34I immediately called
30:35the police
30:35and when they arrived
30:37shortly after,
30:38the men had already
30:39disappeared.
30:40All that was left
30:41was my fishing rod
30:42lying on the ground.
30:43I've been having
30:44terrible nightmares
30:45ever since.
30:49A few years ago,
30:50on a freezing December day,
30:52I was driving alone
30:52across Nevada.
30:54It had been snowing
30:55for hours
30:55and as the evening came in,
30:57the snow suddenly picked up.
30:58Thicker,
30:59heavier.
30:59It started piling up
31:01on the road
31:01so I slowed way down.
31:04After a while,
31:05I saw something up ahead.
31:06A figure standing
31:07right in the middle
31:08of the highway.
31:09At first,
31:10I thought my eyes
31:10were playing tricks on me
31:11but as I got closer,
31:13I realized it was a person.
31:14I almost hit him.
31:16He was completely
31:17covered in snow
31:18from head to tail.
31:19I couldn't make out anything,
31:20just a human shape
31:21swallowed by white.
31:23I stopped the car,
31:24rolled down the window
31:25and yelled,
31:25what are you doing there?
31:26He slowly lifted his head.
31:28That's when I saw it,
31:30a white plastic mask
31:31covering his entire face.
31:33White snow everywhere
31:34and that blank white mask
31:36staring back at me
31:37sent a chill
31:38straight through me.
31:39I thought,
31:40what the hell is he doing
31:41standing in the middle
31:42of the road?
31:43So,
31:43I rolled the window
31:44back up
31:45and started to drive past him.
31:47Then he suddenly
31:48raised both hands
31:49signaling me to stop.
31:50He didn't say a word.
31:51Then out of nowhere,
31:52he started dancing.
31:54Not some random flailing.
31:55He danced like a trained performer.
31:57Smooth.
31:58Precise.
31:59I just sat there
32:00watching him
32:01for maybe 30 seconds
32:02thinking,
32:02what the hell
32:03is happening right now?
32:05Then he raised his hands again,
32:06this time making a gesture
32:08like he was taking a picture,
32:09like he wanted me to film him.
32:11I couldn't tell
32:12if he was messing with me
32:13or actually asking me
32:14to record him dancing
32:15and post it online or something.
32:17A hundred thoughts
32:18ran through my head.
32:19I was just about to pass by,
32:21but at that moment,
32:22another man appeared
32:23on the side of the road
32:24walking quickly towards me.
32:26He too was wearing
32:27a white mask,
32:28a white puffer jacket,
32:29and white pants.
32:31Before I could react,
32:32he pulled a gun
32:32from his pocket
32:33and pointed it straight
32:34at the dancing guy.
32:35At first,
32:36I honestly thought
32:37it was some kind of prank,
32:38but the second I saw the gun,
32:40reality hit me hard.
32:42I slammed the gas,
32:43swerved the car,
32:44and tried to get past them.
32:46The snow made the tires slip,
32:47and the whole car fishtailed,
32:49but all I could think about
32:50was getting away.
32:51The man pointed the gun at me,
32:53and I ducked my head
32:54and kept driving.
32:55The situation was so tense
32:57that I couldn't remember
32:57how I drove.
32:59When I got far enough,
33:00I checked my rearview mirror.
33:02Both of them were still
33:03standing there,
33:04staring at me.
33:04The guy with the gun
33:05was now pointing it at me.
33:07I changed lanes over and over,
33:09trying to create distance.
33:10Then I heard it.
33:12Gunshots.
33:13My heart stopped.
33:14When I looked again,
33:15the guy wasn't shooting at me.
33:17He was shooting at the dancing guy.
33:18I saw the dancing guy
33:20drop to the ground,
33:21and then the man with the gun
33:22turned back toward me
33:23and started firing wildly
33:25in my direction.
33:26Somehow I got far enough away.
33:28I called the police
33:29and reported everything.
33:30Later,
33:31the cops told me
33:32they found no blood,
33:33no bullet casings,
33:34no footprints,
33:35nothing.
33:36So the dancing guy
33:37hadn't been shot.
33:38He just faked it.
33:40That night,
33:41my heart wouldn't stop racing.
33:42I wrapped myself in a blanket,
33:44drank hot tea,
33:45and tried to calm down.
33:46But I couldn't stop thinking
33:47about why they were out there
33:49in that cold
33:49and what they were trying to do to me.
33:51Were they planning to kill me,
33:53or was it something else entirely?
34:00Hi, Wansi.
34:01I have a creepy story
34:02I experienced
34:03when I was about 11 years old.
34:04I'm 20 now,
34:05a grown man,
34:06but what happened that night
34:08has stayed with me ever since.
34:10When I was a kid,
34:10I never believed in anything supernatural.
34:13Ghosts,
34:13spirits,
34:14none of that.
34:15But this one experience
34:16made me question everything.
34:18One night,
34:19while I was sleeping in my house
34:20with my parents
34:21and the rest of my family,
34:22I heard something
34:23I still can't explain.
34:24It must have been around 1am
34:25when I suddenly woke up
34:27to the sound of something jingling.
34:29I realized I had to pee,
34:30but the moment I heard that sound,
34:32I was too scared and confused
34:33to get out of bed.
34:34I hid under my blanket
34:36with just my face sticking out,
34:37listening.
34:38The sound was like
34:39someone jingling a bell continuously,
34:41and it went on for almost an hour.
34:43It was incredibly creepy,
34:45and what made it even stranger
34:46was that my mom and grandmother,
34:48who were sleeping right next to me,
34:50didn't hear anything.
34:51They were asleep the entire time.
34:53The sound was loud enough
34:54to fill the whole room,
34:55so there was no way
34:56they didn't hear it,
34:57which means
34:58it must have been something
34:59only I could hear.
35:01It seemed like it was coming
35:02from the balcony
35:03right outside my bedroom,
35:04but I was way too scared to check.
35:06It just kept going and going
35:08without stopping.
35:09I tried to ignore it
35:10and force myself back to sleep,
35:12but it was so distracting
35:13that I just lay there awake
35:15until I eventually dozed off.
35:17The next morning,
35:18everything was normal,
35:19like nothing had happened.
35:20I asked my parents
35:21if they heard any jingling sounds
35:23during the night,
35:24but they all said no.
35:25When I told them what I heard,
35:26they brushed it off
35:27and said I must have been
35:28tired or stressed.
35:30To this day,
35:31I still have no idea
35:32who or what
35:33could have been making
35:34that bizarre jingling noise.
35:36Even thinking about it
35:37coming from outside
35:38is strange
35:39because our house
35:39was a two-story building.
35:40Outside my room
35:42was a balcony
35:42and beyond that
35:43was nothing.
35:45To get down to the pavement
35:46and the small road
35:47in front of our house,
35:48you had to go downstairs
35:49to the first floor.
35:50So I honestly don't know.
35:52Even now,
35:52I still think about it sometimes.
35:54I'm actually glad
35:55I didn't get up
35:56to check what it was
35:57that night.
35:57Why would someone
35:58be shaking bells
35:59outside at that hour
36:01on a cold night?
36:02Was it intentional?
36:03Did it mean something?
36:05I have no idea.
36:06All I know
36:07is that it was creepy as hell
36:08and I'll never forget it.
36:14I'm a long-haul trucker.
36:15I usually pull 12-hour shifts,
36:17even at night.
36:18A few months back,
36:19as usual,
36:20I was driving along
36:21a quiet road past midnight,
36:22listening to an audiobook.
36:24I don't know how long
36:25I'd been driving,
36:26but drowsiness
36:26had overtaken me
36:27like a thief in the night.
36:28I reached over
36:29the passenger seat
36:30to try to grab
36:30an energy drink,
36:31but all I found
36:32were empty cans
36:33rattling around.
36:34So I figured
36:35I'd make a quick pit stop
36:36at whatever convenience store
36:37was close by.
36:39A short while later,
36:40I pulled into this
36:41real run-down little place.
36:43The lighting inside
36:43was dim,
36:44kind of reddish.
36:45Atmosphere was strange.
36:46I wasn't sure
36:47if it was even open,
36:48but the neon open sign
36:50was buzzing faintly.
36:51When I walked in,
36:52the little door chime
36:53went off,
36:54but nobody was at the counter
36:55and the whole place
36:56felt dead.
36:57The shelves also had
36:58a very limited selection
36:59of products.
37:00Dusty Campbell's,
37:01shriveled,
37:02air-sucked bags of chips,
37:04an unknown red liquid
37:05clung to the empty
37:06roller grill.
37:07Seemed like the place
37:08had long since been deserted.
37:09I just wanted to grab
37:10an energy drink
37:11and get the hell out,
37:12but I couldn't find one
37:13anywhere.
37:14Then suddenly,
37:15I heard a clanking sound
37:16behind me.
37:17I turned around
37:18and saw an old man
37:19locking the front door
37:20with a chain.
37:21Startled,
37:21I shouted,
37:22wait,
37:22I'm in here,
37:23but the guy
37:23didn't react at all.
37:25He was locking a padlock
37:26onto the long chain
37:27stretched across
37:28the front door.
37:29Then he turned off
37:30the lights.
37:30The inside of the store
37:31suddenly became pitch black.
37:33I bolted toward him,
37:34grabbed his shoulder,
37:35and he slowly turned around
37:37like he already knew
37:38I was there.
37:39He opened his mouth
37:39to speak to me,
37:40but his voice sounded wrong,
37:42muffled.
37:43Then when he opened his mouth,
37:44I could see his tongue,
37:46short and messed up,
37:47like it had been cut.
37:49Half terrified,
37:50half pissed,
37:50I shook him violently
37:51and yelled for him
37:52to open the door,
37:53but he didn't respond.
37:54He just kept opening
37:55and closing his mouth
37:57as if trying to say something,
37:58but no sound coming out.
38:00Just then,
38:01a door opened
38:02in the staff office
38:02behind me
38:03and I heard the sound
38:04of heavy footsteps.
38:05It was dark,
38:06so I couldn't see clearly,
38:08but it was two very tall men.
38:10They were talking about something.
38:12It seemed like Russian,
38:12but I had no clue
38:13what language it was.
38:14And when they stepped
38:15out of the darkness,
38:16man,
38:17I'll never forget what I saw.
38:19They were wrapped head to toe
38:20in duct tape,
38:22each holding a knife,
38:23but not normal knives.
38:24The blades were spiral shaped,
38:26something I'd never seen before.
38:27They looked at each other laughing
38:29and turned their heads toward me.
38:31My brain just went,
38:32I'm dead.
38:33Right then,
38:34the old man shuffled
38:35toward the counter
38:35and that's when I realized
38:37the door wasn't fully locked yet.
38:38So,
38:39I unlocked it,
38:40yanked the door open
38:41and ran outside.
38:42The duct tape guys
38:43didn't chase me.
38:44They just stood
38:45in the doorway,
38:46staring.
38:47The old man was holding
38:48a mop now
38:49and the two men
38:49beckoned me toward them.
38:51One of them was waving
38:52something that looked
38:52like a candy bar at me.
38:54I scrambled into the truck
38:55and fired it up
38:56and got the hell out of it.
38:58Looking in the rear view mirror,
38:59I saw the store's sign lights
39:00go out immediately
39:01and no one came out.
39:03I called the cops.
39:04When they showed up,
39:05the guys were long gone.
39:07It turned out the store
39:08had been shut down
39:08a long time ago.
39:10When they entered
39:10the back office,
39:11they found a large bucket
39:12on the floor
39:13with cleaning detergent
39:14and dozens of nice
39:15stab marks
39:15dug into the desk.
39:17They tracked down
39:18the culprits,
39:18no idea what happened
39:19after that.
39:20All I know is
39:21I don't stop
39:22at remote sketchy places
39:23anymore.
39:24Not after that night.
