I'm one of those people I was
maybe 7 or 8 years old my older brother and I grew up in a broken household our
mom raised us our dad was a dead bead and disappeared out of our lives our mom
worked two jobs to provide for us she'd sometimes have to work night shifts and
would usually have our grandma stay at the house on nights that she had to work
my brother Austin is 2 years younger than me we work were fortunate enough to
have our own bedrooms given the circumstances we lived in a small house but for
the three of us and on our mom's dime alone it wasn't terrible the area in
which we lived wasn't amazing though it was a night like any other I can't
remember if it was a school night or if it was a weekend I don't remember any
tiny details like that but what I do remember is I was in the living room with
my grandma she was watching TV and I was playing with Legos on my Lego table I
was being loud and making a mess with them because I remember my grandma kept
saying Alex quiet down Austin was already in bed my bedtime was 9:30 given that
it was probably approaching that time I'm guessing this was a weekend night
otherwise my bedtime would have been earlier the layout of the house was simple
living room dining room and kitchen are all connected and then there was a
hallway which led to the bathroom and three bedrooms our mom's bedroom was at
the end of the hall mine was in the middle our grandma would sleep in our mom's
bed when when she'd stay over to watch us eventually I had to go to sleep my
grandma would always go to sleep early too so right after saying good night to
me she would go to the bathroom to brush her teeth and stuff before going to
sleep as well I was never one to be afraid of the dark or anything my mom says
I used to be a really Brave child but that night I woke up in the middle of the
night something unusual for me because I remember myself being a very heavy
sleeper I heard something outside in the hallway creeks in the floor the wood
floors in that house were always very creaky anytime someone walked down the
hall you'd hear it I thought my grandma was going to the bathroom however the
creaking didn't stop it sounded like The Creeks were moving back and forth I
got out of bed and went to the door to listen now I heard Whispering I was more
confused than anything I thought my grandma was talking to
Austin I opened the
door and looked into the hallway and what I saw still haunts me there was a
tall naked skinny woman leaning on the wall with her head between her arms she
was whispering stuff to herself and then like a deer in headlights her head
whipped around to look at me I screamed for my grandma like a little girl and
slammed my door shut there were pounds on my door and the woman on the other
side was screaming a name Jeremy Jeremy open the door I kept screaming as loud
as I could for my grandma and I heard her scream in the hallway I distinctly
remember was my grandma screaming get the [ __ ] out of here the
woman screamed where is Jeremy my grandma was in her mid-60s at the time and
she was still pretty quick she yelled at me to keep my door locked and she
managed to fend off this crazy woman as she also called the police at the same
time I don't know how she did it but my grandma was one tough woman the woman
left the house screaming Jeremy and after locking the door my grandma came to
hug both me and Austin who was awake and also crying from the commotion we all
sat huddled together until the police came by that time my grandma told us to
just go back to sleep this simply was a matter of my grandma not locking one of
the doors mixed with living in an already shady area that woman had to be on
crack or something seeing what I saw at such a young age did a number on me I
couldn't sleep alone for a long time it was this incident that really resulted
in us moving out of that house not long after

let me give you some
context before the Story begins when I was 19 years old I lived a pretty normal
life I had just finished high school the year before the story takes place I
had always been one for horror anything whether it was movies games jump scares
you name it and I loved it I never seemed to be afraid of anything and I loved
that it allowed me to go and do things that made me appear tougher to girls who
I was interested in at the time or who were interested in me I thought of it
almost like a superpower my friend had always talked about this REM induced
real life nightmare called sleep paralysis I however had never experienced such
a thing my friend Megan suffered from extreme lucid dreaming she explained to
me several times about how certain stimulators or outside factors could play
into her dreams and mold them into what could potentially be a Heavenly
experience full of fun and wonder or could just as easily turn into a bone
chilling nightmare Straight Out of Hell being the light sleeper I am I saw no
chance of it occurring so I kind of just let it go right over my head one night
Megan texted me and asked me to come over as she had just suffered another
so-called evil experience due to her sleep condition when I arrived I found her
asleep again seemingly peacefully I took a seat on her stool that she had for
her makeup dress or right by the window and started playing a game on my phone
30 minutes or so went by and I figured she was peacefully asleep and it would
probably be okay for me to leave as long as I let her know that I stopped by as
she requested but suddenly Megan awoke and started screaming this was a
different kind of scream though a type of scream I had never heard before
especially from her it was almost mumbled I don't know how else to describe it
her eyes bulged open and I ran over to her side I asked her if she was having a
bad dream she started shaking I grabbed a hold of her to try to calm her down
but the Tremors grew I asked her what was going on but no response I figured this
was just another one of her so-called sleep paralysis episodes I did my best to
comfort her after about 30 or so seconds went by she regained full control of
her body I made sure she was okay and I left back from my house as it was
almost 1:00 in the
morning right as I
got home I I received a very panicked text reading the hallucinations won't
stop I asked her to clarify what she meant but no response after about 30
minutes went by I took it upon myself to head back over to her place when I
arrived I noticed the illumination of red and blue covering her front porch and
the surrounding road signs I ran up to her house desperately trying to find out
what happened as I approached the house I noticed Megan was speaking with one
of the officers on the scene when I went up to talk to her Megan and the
officer walked me over to a more secluded area what I found out still sends
chills up my spine to this day apparently when I had went over to Megan's that
night she wasn't asleep at all she was pretending to be evidently right behind
me was a tall skinny homeless man hiding in her closet the police had also
found a very large kitchen knife on him as well the theory to this day is Megan
thought she was having an episode when in reality this very real man was quietly
creeping towards her in her bedroom supposedly when I had entered her house it
was enough to Spook the man into hiding and my presence was enough to keep him
hidden this gave Megan the time to call 911 and Report the situation which in
turn resulted in the police arriving almost immediately after I had left
thankfully the man was taken into custody rather quickly to this day I don't
know what to think about that night other than I could have very easily saved
her life simp by keeping her company during what I thought was a very stressful
situation which in turn could have resulted in some very scary and heinous acts
that would have taken place if I had been there any later I hope I never
experienced such a thing that would be what finally trips my Fear Factor

doubt around 10 years ago I moved out of my mom's house into
my first apartment in the in the city of Chicago the place was a nice
three-bedroom apartment on the south side of the city in a friendly
neighborhood by the University of Illinois I lived with two roommates Tom and
Mike Mike was a good friend of mine while Tom was a good friend of Mike's who I
had not met prior although we ended up getting along just fine one night about
a month after moving in I met up with a few friends of mine for drinks at a bar
more in the center of the city around 10 minutes from my place it was a good
time and I ended up getting slightly drunk before getting into a cab at 1:00
a.m. and heading home upon walking into my apartment I noticed that Tom's door
was open showing that he was staying at his girlfriend's place while Mike's
door was closed with the light from his TV shining underneath the crack i' made
my way to my bedroom and put on my own TV before lying down to prepare for
sleep after around 10 minutes I heard my doorbell ring half asleep I woke up
confused as it was 1:30 in the morning so I ignored it a few seconds later the
doorbell rang again and then again a few seconds after that it's important to
mention that my roommate Mike had a good amount of Sid cach by dealing weed to
a few people he was also a huge Stoner himself so the idea that he fell asleep
while waiting for a late night customer to come over was not out of the realm
of possibility with this in mind I went over to my intercom and asked who was
there a girl's voice answered back it's Emma I'm here to see Mike thinking that
my suspicions had had been confirmed I exited out of my front door and headed
down the stairs the door to the outside of our apartment building was made of
tall glass so you could easily identify any potential
visitors here I saw
an attractive college age blonde girl with glasses waiting patiently outside I
had never seen this person before however she appeared to be non-threatening
and besides having random customers over to grab weed Mike would also have some
random girls over to hook up with from time to time because of this I let my
guard down slightly and cracked the door open the girl then repeated what she
had said moments earlier over the intercom hi I'm here to see Mike I replied
okay he's here just follow me up and I held the door open for her she grabbed
the handle and I turned around to head back up the stairs as I was walking back
up I quickly noticed that this Emma girl was not following me up I glanced over
my shoulder and saw that she was still standing outside holding the door open
only now she was staring off to her right almost as if waiting for someone at
this moment a tidal wave of fear crashed over me as I realized something
horrible was more than likely about to happen I continued walking up to my
place quicker now after turning the corner of the stairs I heard the door swing
open and then heavy footsteps running up the stairs behind me I looked over my
shoulder again and what I saw shook me to my core a tall gangly man with sunk
in an eyes greasy long hair down to his shoulders was running up the stairs
straight at me he was wearing a sleeveless black T-shirt and apart from the
cheap looking tribal tattoos I saw creeping up his arms I noticed he was also
holding what looked like a lead pipe in his right hand at this moment my body
shot full of adrenaline as I turned around and raced back up the stairs and
into my apartment I turned around to close the door and I saw the man who is
now only a few feet from entering my apartment [ __ ] the pipe over
his head with less than a second to spare I slammed the door and locked it in
one swift MO
immediately after I
heard the thud of the pipe hit my door I stood facing the now closed door
paralyzed as the man hit the door three more times while shouting obscenities
at me he eventually gave up and ran down the stairs and out the front door I
ran into Mike's room to wake him up after telling him what exactly had just
went down he responded by telling me that yes he knew a blonde girl named Emma
only he had just met her earlier the same day apparently while I was out with
my friend friends the doorbell rang while Mike was Home Alone instead of going
down to let her in himself Mike buzzed her up after just hearing her name with
his train of thought being him thinking that she was a friend of mine when she
reached the door to our unit he opened it and let her in he said it seemed like
she was confused mentioning that she was looking for someone named Tim Mike responded
by saying his own name that no one names Tim lived here he mentioned she stayed
near the entrance of the unit and kept reaching behind her to make sure the
door stayed open before leaving only a few moments later after hearing this my
theory is that these same people came earlier in the day and not expecting to
have someone just let them up through the buzzer the girl made the mistake of
forgetting to keep the door to the building open rendering the attacker unable
to enter during this first attempt either way we both got extremely lucky that
night we did call the police who arrived and asked for more information about
what happened they asked if there was anyone we knew who might want to do us
harm and we answered no which was the truth as this seemed to be a completely
random attack the cops left soon after saying that there was nothing much they
could do we never saw that Emma girl or her scumbag partner

again this story
happened to me 4 years ago when I was in my mid-20s this whole experience will
probably scar me for life and it's still vividly imprinted in my mind the day
was the 15th of June and I had the house to myself because my parents were on a
twoe vacation in France it was sometime after dusk probably around 8:00 p.m.
and the weather was scorchingly hot believe me when I say I was sweating my ass
off with just my tank top and shorts on the heat was so unbearable that I
allowed in some fresh air opening all the living room and bedroom windows
planning on closing them right before hitting the hay now before fast
forwarding I must mention that I was feeling extremely exhausted on that same
day I had taken three exams in the morning and played a volleyball match in the
afternoon thus once I ate my dinner while browsing social media in my room I
collapsed into bed without even
realizing I woke up
at around 3:00 a.m.
to the muffled sounds
of thunderbolts and a draft of cold fresh air hitting my face a strong wind was
blowing and all the shutters left open were noisily banging
still drowsy I
flicked on the lamp but the light wouldn't turn on I checked the plug using my
phone flashlight but everything was fine I begrudgingly climbed out of bed and
looked out my bedroom window there were menacing rainy black clouds in the
Horizon a typical late night summer storm was approaching given that every Lamp
Post in the street was off I instantly knew there had been a blackout phone
flashlight in hand I dizzily headed down the hallway to shut the windows closed
before rain started pouring down when I got to the last window though I noticed
the mosquito net lifted up this struck me as weird since I was quite positive I
hadn't left it that way getting a little paranoid I turned behind me to shine
the flashlight around the living room and check my surroundings the furniture
was still in place no drawers or closet doors left open no decorative objects
missing or moved in unfamiliar positions everything seemed normal I briefly
peaked my head out of my window to look outside trees swaying in the howling wind
leaves shaking in a frenzy powerful display of Nature's Force but still nothing
remotely suspicious maybe the mechanism is faulty or the strong wind somehow
pushed it up against my better judgment I convinced myself it was useless to
lose sleep over it feeling relieved I closed the shutters and started walking
back to my bedroom eager to get a decent night's rest little did I know that
night would be anything but Pleasant I happened to casually turned my head to
the flight of stairs connected to the attic when a vivid burst of light
flashing from up there caught my eyes I paided no mind the attic was adorned
with huge glass windows so it was no wonder to see light spreading across the
room it was probably a sheet lightning I kept walking subconsciously waiting
for the Thunder to come but it never did I stopped in my tracks given that the
flash I saw was powerful and bright the lightning had to be pretty close so why
couldn't any rumbling noise be heard I started to think maybe it wasn't
lightning what if it was a flashlight as doubt crept in my heart began to
race I quickly put
two and two together and now the strange occurrence of the mosquito net left up
made much more sense the nightmarish realization hit me that an intruder could
have broken into my
house at first I
panicked did they hear me shutting the windows were they carrying any weapons
did they plan on just robbing my house or did they also have worse
intentions normally I
would call my parents to deal with it but since they were away it was all on me
now while those sickening thoughts were swirling in my mind the distinct sound
of a doorknob being twisted and turned made me instantly snap out of my
catatonic State I shot my head to face the living room entrance and through the
glass frame I spotted a shadowy figure just a few inches outside of the front
door there was a person standing there most likely an accomplice of the guy
upstairs words are not enough to describe how powerless and defenseless I felt
despite the overwhelming fear I did my best to keep my cool trying to make as
little noise as possible I tiptoed in the direction of the stairs leading down
to the basement which was directly connected to the garage I figured I could
safely escape from there while I was making my descent down still using my
phone as a source of light I dialed 911 and speaking as Softly As POS possible
I informed the operator about what just happened he tried to calm me down and
reassured me that the police would be there in less than 10 minutes he also
added I should lock myself in a safe room and wait for the officers to show up
I was about to reply that I could easily sneak outside through the garage door
when all of a sudden I lost the call I immediately checked the phone and
realized that down there I had no signal as if it wasn't enough I also noticed
the battery was almost dead once I reached the basement I and nervously
assessed what to do I could try and find an emergency flashlight but now I was
so close to escaping from the house that I didn't want to waste time rumaging
through the drawers besides I was mindful that The Intruders upstairs could
have heard me so In the Heat of the Moment I exited the basement as fast as I
could nonetheless while making my way towards the garage door I got a feeling
in my gut telling me I was being watched I don't even know why maybe my sixth
sense had picked up on something but I pointed my phone to illuminate the back
seats of my car and there he was a man's face stuck to the rearview mirror a
disgusting revolting face with dead bulging wide eyes and a malicious yellowish
grin spreading across its cheeks he kept staring at me so intently it almost
looked like he was piercing into my soul he slid his dirty hand against the
glass waving me hello in an unnatural slow motion and at that point it happened
my phone back battery died turning off the flashlight and leaving me in the
middle of a total darkness I felt my heart in my throat I had never been more
scared in my entire life my whole body was quivering and shaking in fear when I
heard the car door opening I lost it I screamed I screamed like a little girl
as I somehow managed to unlock the garage door and bolt outside climbing up the
driveway ramp by that time Heavy Rain had started pouring down I hopped over
the gate and ran to the nearest house yelling like a lunatic for the neighbors
to rush outside they came out in shock and I explained to them the whole
situation almost out of breath and soaking wet in the meantime I heard sirens
in the distance two police cars rolled down the street and I practically ran
into the officer's arms screaming that there were three strangers in my house
four agents went into my house guns drawn while another one took my description
of the events those three men were all gone though and to this day I don't
think they've ever never been caught some antiques which held some value were
stolen however I must say it was no big deal for my family for the remainder of
the night I couldn't sleep at all I kept tossing and turning jumping at the
slightest sounds ruminating relentlessly on the horrific experience but I kid
you not another chilling surprise was lying in wait when morning came I spotted
a small piece of paper sticking out of the edge of my bed I picked it up and
went frozen stiff the following words were written bye-bye Beauty you look cute
when you sleep.
