8. I once received a text that said, “I cannot wait to make love to your rotting, beautiful corpse.” I’m unsure of who sent it, if it was meant for me, or if it was a distasteful prank text from someone I knew — but it certainly sent chills down my spine.

9. I got a text from a wrong number and all it said was, “he won’t be bothering you anymore, I took care of it”

10. Last year I was idly wasting away my afternoon when I got a message notification on Facebook. I opened it up and it was a 20 year old guy saying “Are you (my full legal name)?” No one really knows my full name, so I figured this kid knew me. I opened up his page and he lives halfway across the States from me, we have no mutual friends, and, as far as I can tell, we would have had no way to ever meet. I respond, “Yeah?” to which he responds, “I am going to fucking murder you. ”

I am 27 years old and not terribly paranoid, but this shook me to my very core. As far as I know, I still have him blocked on Messenger.
