10. A car chased me down the street
When I was 10 my parents and I lived across the street from my grandmother. It was around 8:30 or 9pm it had just been dark for 15 or 20 minutes, I told my mom I was running across the street to my grandmother’s house. Instead of going across the street I walked over to a convenience store about 6 blocks away.
On my way back while devouring a three musketeers bar I was at an intersection. A car a block away (not a cop) was going through the intersection and he slammed on his brakes and squealed in reverse and whips his car around and squealed towards me. At this point it is pitch black and no one is out and I take off running. I cut between a house and hopped a fence and started down an alley. I see his headlights getting brighter and slow down and he turns into the alley. I dive down and hide behind two trash cans while this fucker creeps by at two miles an hour. He passes and pulls out of the alley and I hear his tires squealing and I am shaking and paralyzed with fear. After about 20 or 30 seconds I get my shit together and stand up make it about 20 feet and I see his head lights coming into the alley again. This time I was behind someones detached garage. Looking around the corner of the garage I see the guy and although I couldn’t make out his face I could see his head on a swivel breaking his neck looking for me. He pulled back out of the alley and I hopped or went through every persons back yard for three blocks till I made it home.
The part that sucks as an adult and knowing how dangerous that situation is, I didn’t tell my parents because I didn’t want to get busted for lying. I feel really bad now, someone should have been notified, the authorities should have definitely been looking for that guy.
11. I heard my child outside while he was asleep inside
This happened last weekend. Note, I only have one child.
Early this morning I was browsing reddit when I thought I’ll sit outside. So I quietly get out of bed, careful not to wake my sleeping toddler.
Nice and peaceful, an hour to myself before the devil spawn wakes up. Now when my son is searching for me he repeats “Mummy where are you?” In this adorable voice that you can not mistake for anyone else’s but his.
I’m sitting there still browsing reddit when I hear “Mummy where are you?”. Oh damn he woke an hour early. Awesome. I go to get up but then I heard it again. “Mummy where are you?” I freeze. The voice is coming from our elderly neighbors fence. “Mummy where are you?” Yep definitely coming from there. “Mummy. Were are you?” (Said in an almost impatient tone).
At that point I think “this is like a horror story” something wants me to go over there and kill me. So being the smart person I am I go over there. Just kidding I run like a bitch inside the house and up the stairs to my sleeping toddler and the comfort of my own bed.
12. I saw a figure of my father when he wasn’t home
10am on a Saturday morning I was in bed petting my very bossy cat, who had pushed my bedroom open a few minutes prior, when I saw my dad.
The entry to the kitchen is just that, an entrance, there is no door. I saw him in his over sized black shorts and miscellaneous old tee shirt cross the kitchen entry way. First I thought, why the fuck he is not at work then I realized that he wasn’t wearing his glasses… which led me to think he must be sick.
So I get up despite my dickhead cat’s nasty face and walk into the kitchen to ask him if he is feeling ok.
No one was there. No one was home, all the doors were still locked. I wasn’t afraid, but turning that corner and expecting to see a person and seeing nothing but a bright empty room was very creepy.
