16. I was being watched through my bedroom window
When I was 18, I was home alone (roommates were out of town) and long story short I realized that there was someone hanging out outside my bedroom window trying to watch me. It became apparent that they knew that I knew that they were there and that didn’t deter them or prompt them to leave.
17. I heard a strange scream outside
I live in a small house next to my father’s home, which is in the middle of the woods (Norway). Even though i am eighteen years old, it can be quite scary being completely alone sometimes, especially after dark. This incident happened some time ago, about one year or so. It was well over midnight and I was just about to go to sleep, eyelids closed. I had been lying in bed for a while. Unfortunately there was no sleep to come, because I suddenly heard an ominous scream outside. It was extremely loud, and almost sounded like it was directly over my house. It was indescribably scary. The scream was something straight out of a horror movie, like a blend between an animal and a human in pain. The freakiest part was that I could hear the sound moving through the air above me, from one point to another. Believe me, it was fast as lighting, and gone before i knew it. The suddenness scared me shitless. It was so unexpected. I stayed up all night with the lights on. The day after the incident, I spoke to my father about it. It turned out that he had heard it too. He even rushed to the window to see what was going on outside. None of us have a clue of what the hell that scream was about. But there was some kind of relief knowing that I wasn’t the only one experiencing it. We even joked about it being a witch flying through the air. But all jokes and speculations aside, I hope I never hear something like that ever again. I still have trouble sleeping sometimes.
18. I was stalked while out fishing
I was fishing alone along a stretch of river after work one day. The same car drove by me really slow a half dozen times, both directions. I got a bit creeped out so when I heard it coming again.
I pulled my phone out and pretend I was talking to someone.
A guy looking like a creepy hillbilly (think the cop killer in the movie ‘house of 1000 corpses’) got out of his (still idling) car, paced back and forth a couple of times near his still open door , And came at me with his fists clenched, holding something, in a manic, tunnel vision,and aggressive and somewhat dazed posture.
As he neared me I started describing him to the imaginary person on the other line.
It freaked the person out and they ran back to their car and sped the fuck off. Then I called the local police to report it. I sincerely think I avoided serious danger. The person was clearly not coming over to see how the fishing was.
19. A stranger kept ringing my doorbell
I live in the suburbs of Detroit and my last house I was home alone with my two kids and two dogs. Had someone ring my doorbell at midnight then play with the door handle. My one dog was in the window (we had a bay window) barking and growling and lunging at the window. I called the police but the person took off.
A couple weeks before that we had someone firing off a gun in the neighborhood.
