10 True Scary Bathroom / Restroom Horror Stories

[Music] [Music] this story has always been at the back of my mind in 23 now let me explain the house that we lived in it was an upstairs downstairs in the upstairs there was one bedroom long hallway to the bathroom where I was so I started a new job that was 20 at the time I was a trainee at a hairdressers I spent the whole day on my feet making coffees tea and brushing up the hair on the floor doesn't seem like hard work but the hairdresser's were very busy because a bride was in with their bridesmaids trying out different hairstyles so I had to stay a bit longer I started at 9 and finished at 5 so after my shift all I could think about was a nice warm bath my legs were killing me I lived with my boyfriend who was out of town doing some jobs for his dad to help pay the rent it was a fairly nice house belonged to his brother who allowed us to move in as soon as I got home relax for a bit then went upstairs ran my bath locked the door and got in it so at this point I was drifting away in a very relaxing hot bath but then I heard a noise on the stairs and it startled me I convinced myself I was being paranoid because I don't like being home alone but then I heard it again it was like someone was slowly sneaking up the stairs I still lay in the bath making sure the water didn't splash while I was doing this I listened and I wasn't being paranoid someone was sneaking up the stairs very slowly step by step I'm laying in the bath terrified with tears running down my face the noise had moved from the stairs to the hallway and it was getting closer closer until it stopped outside my bathroom door I froze no movement and I even held my breath I don't know how long this happened but it felt like hours I could hear breathing against the door a light faint tap on the door I stayed quiet and prayed that they didn't bust the door down and must have lasted a few minutes but it felt like forever my fear was confirmed very loud feet were making their way back down the stairs and a back door slammed open I jumped out the bath ran down the hall and grabbed the phone which we had in our bedroom straight back to the bathroom and locked the door I called the police my skin was wrinkled from the water I was shaking crying on the phone to the operator she told me to stay in the bathroom with the door locked until two police officers would come and she would tell me when they were there dripping wet with my back pressed against the bathroom door shivering I waited we stayed on the phone until the police came and they checked the back and front door the back door was wide open I stayed in the bathroom into a police officer shouted up that it was safe to come out he shouted up and I ran down the stairs like my life depended on it the woman officer called me down while I told her what happened she asked me could it have been my boyfriend or anyone I knew the answer was no his brother moved away my family didn't live near me anymore and my boyfriend was out of town he was at his dad's helping with the job nothing was stolen and everything was in place except the back door was hanging wide open they took my statement and asked me if there was anywhere that it could go and honestly the answer was no I was told to get a security system like an alarm the police did a great job I felt much better that they had checked the house around the neighborhood and even warned the neighbors I couldn't get a hold of my boyfriend until he came home I told him what happened and he was shocked and then the neighbour had someone tried to break in her house later during the night now I'm 23 and I no longer live in that house but still with my boyfriend we have a huge dog German Shepherd who is a guard dog but I still fear taking baths at home alone I have a nightlight which goes off when someone enters our garden in a security system as for the person who did it they were never caught [Music] so I first met this guy last month I was having an anxiety attack because I was about to dance with my class mates for the morning exercises in the school stage and my school principals saw me and then she asked the guy to accompany me to the clinic so he did I thanked him for a company to me but he didn't reply I also asked him his name but he didn't reply as well I just had a blank emotionless expression on his face it kind of weirded me out now we have met again but this time it's in the washroom I saw him standing near the urinals and I said hi they just stood there and didn't reply and he's not doing anything not even peeing he had the same blank expression on his face then while I was in a stall doing my business he started banging and punching on the door and I was like hey what's the problem so I just stopped doing my business got out of the stall to confront him when he was staring at me and this time he was giving me the evil eye and he was clenching his fist so I simply ignored him because I am 100% sure he is going to hurt me physically when I got out of the washroom I ran back to the classroom as fast as I could and let on a sigh of relief because he didn't follow me I didn't tell my teacher because I was so scared and creeped out instead I asked the school janitors if they knew who this guy was they said they have never seen him before anywhere in the school campus which I found was very weird because the guy was wearing a school uniform but not an ID in my school we are always required to wear the ID I have no idea who this creepy guy was that physically threatened me in the school toilet maybe he's just out of his mind [Music] so yesterday evening I was on break at work and decided to use the restroom for reference I'm a manager at a local restaurant in my town I was sitting there and I heard someone else walk in I immediately heard him talking to himself I noticed he was possibly mentally disabled they started mentioning demons and how he can feel them around the room he said he could feel them more underwater he then comes right up to my stall door are you a manager uh yes have you ever heard of the book of spells he started pacing in front of the door I said no and he went on about the owner of the book of spells and he just kept laughing harder and harder while talking and walking around the stall he stops and says ok very calmly and left I immediately went back behind the counter and told the others he'd left soon after I have no idea what his plan was and I hope I never find out what the book of spells is [Music] I'm an 18 year old female working the 4:00 p.m. to midnight shift at a nice and clean gas station convenience store in Canada because the location of my workplace is right beside a highway it is common for people to settle in their parking lot for a while or even the entire night what isn't common is when someone parks right outside the window beside the cash register parallel to the building it's about 11:00 p.m. and I'm preparing to close my shift excited to go home and rest keep in mind I'm only 18 I still live with my parents a rush of customers comes and goes I notice a car parked outside right beside the cash register there was a huge window in order for the workers to look out to see the customers at the pumps many people have parked there before but and none have ever parked parallel to the store snuggled up to the curb whatever I thought maybe the man or woman is just exhausted 11:30 rolls around and the car is still parked there I had to go outside to shut the oil Shack which happened to be right next to where the car was parked as I closed the shack I had looked into the car to see the driver's seat reclined all the way back with a man laying back with a smirk on his face I couldn't tell I rushed inside and got behind the counter all right is one of my regulars walked in I pointed out the man in the car and joking then he was waiting for me the regular seemed worried telling me to call the cops he said to stay safe he had to go back to work I decided against calling the cops because the guy could have easily just been resting after a long haul at around 11:45 I decided to call my sister because the guy was still outside he lived about 15 minutes away from my workplace a perfect amount of time for her to get there in time for closing I told her the low down which she responded that she was leaving at that moment and be there soon 11:48 the guy gets out of the car oh crap I'm closing in less than 10 minutes and now he decides he wants a snack as I watch him my notice he is walking around near the pumps staring off into the sky later to assume he was looking for the cameras 11:50 and he walks into the store not returning my greeting he walks right towards the bathrooms a couple of customers walk in and because I was busy with them I assume the man may have walked out without me knowing 1201 and my sister shows up thank God but the car was still parked outside she comes in and asked what's up and I asked if he's in the car she would lies no and that's when my heart beat and creased and looked at the bathroom doors where both sides there's two bathrooms one men and one women when vacant the little sign will be green when occupied and locked the sign will be red and they were both green when the bathroom lights are on you can see the globe from underneath the doorway the lack of glow made me assume that there was no one in either because the lights are motion sensored I told my sister that there was no one in the bathrooms so I began locked in doors and shutting off the lights my sister with her balls of Steel opened the women's bathroom and who was sitting on the toilet she closed the door and began yelling at him that the store was closing a couple of minutes passed and he's still in there so she pounds on the door a little bit more it's about 1208 and now the creep comes out of the bathroom grabs a cookie buys it and walks out it never even looked at me in the eye or spoke he got into his car right away and hurried off I finished locking up and met my sister at a Tim Hortons nearby had my sister not been there I'm unsure what could have been the outcome I could easily not be typing this right now thankfully that day at the beginning of my shift I put in my two weeks notice I had to work the next night which was uneventful yet I was still on edge to even go outside after telling my parents my mom being the Criminal Minds fan they thought that the man may have scanned the property for cameras and went into the bathroom to wait for me to check them during the closing process of the store he may have parked parallel for a quick getaway so glad I'm done working there I live in a house compound and one day me and my family were visiting a friend's house after a couple of hours my mom and my friend's mom asked us to go fetch something from my house so we go back to my home which is a long way from his and the walk seemed uncomfortably long and creepy and had an eerie atmosphere for some reason after ages of walking we reached my house and we get the thing they needed which was inside the house so I unlocked the door and got the object and I noticed the bathroom door was lit and the exhaust fan was on which we usually turn off unless someone is using the toilet but I didn't give that any attention and thought my dad was using the toilet since he wasn't in my friends house when we left so me and my buddy decided to wait outside the house for my dad to finish and I occasionally went to the small window outside the bathroom and called for my dad but I didn't get an answer but I heard some one humming and singing so I thought that he was having a good time and after a good half an hour passed I started feeling uneasy and told my friend we had to leave because our parents are probably angry now when we arrived at his house we were shocked to see my dad sitting and talking to my friend's parents we asked him where were you and he said I didn't go anywhere I just stayed here since we first came this made me scared because my family had been here for three hours and we just waited for my dad for one hour I go ask my sister the same question and get the same response someone was surely in my bathroom after the visitors done we go back home just to find the front door which I locked and unlocked and the bathroom door was wide open my family acted normally but I was completely freaking out and I couldn't get any sleep that night I went to college in Flint Michigan back in the early 2000s one day I was waiting for an evening class and eating food in the cafeteria area the whole area was mostly deserted at this time of day I went into the ladies room to go to the bathroom before walk-in the class I remember hearing a noise and glancing down to floor the stalls to see if anyone else was there I didn't see any feet and went to the bathroom washed my hands and left as it was coming out of the bathroom I saw a campus police officer at the end of the hall they started running toward me and yelled put your hands up terrified I did so unsure of what I could have possibly had done wrong and was confused from the cop ran right by me I turned around and watched as he pulled a guy behind me to the ground and cuffed him I heard the cops say what were you doing in the women's bathroom so this guy was hiding in one of the stalls and followed me out the cop didn't say anything to me and I just left and called my mom tell her what happened to this day it feels so surreal that I asked my mom about it if I actually called her and told her because I wonder if I dreamed it she confirms that I did call her right after it happened to tell her it was super creepy this just happened to me a few nights ago and I am still shaken up so bear with me I am a female bartender at a small cafe that doubles as a venue during the day we serve coffee and lunch and at night we have a full bar with bands and comedy shows on this night it was an open mic comedy show not a lot of comedians showed up so we ended up closing up shop early and I was ready to go home I had a patron come in and order a single beer during the comedy show he was acting nervous but being a female bartender I get male customers that are shy or don't want to talk to women so I didn't think much about it he sat down sipped his beer and watched the show since we closed early everyone was pretty much gone and I wanted to lock up and clean so I could get home after I asked or did the last couple out of the bar and got ready to lock the door I see the man from earlier walked down the back hallway and into the men's restroom not even a minute later he bursts through the door yelling hurry come back here I need help I stood at the opposite end of the hallway and asked him what was wrong the toilet is overflowing that there's water all over the floor help me help me clean this up I could tell that something was wrong and I replied it's okay man it happens I'll mop it up I'm just trying to close up right now he continued to argue with me trying to get me to come in the bathroom with him as I stood about 20 feet away down the hallway finally he walks towards me very aggressively and tries to grab my arm you need to come back here now he says I immediately put my hands out in front of me so we can't come any closer and I tell him he has to leave he walks outside and I locked the door behind him I checked the bathroom and it is completely spotless no water on the floor at all I flushed the toilet and urine on they are both working fine I start to get nervous then I take my large pocketknife and clip it to the waistband of my pants just in case as I'm cleaning our espresso machine and putting Stoppers on the liquor bottles I hear a tapping noise I look up at the front of the store which is one big window as a few curtains covering it the same man is tapping on the window waving at me and laughing like a maniac I watch him walk over to the door and pull on it it doesn't open since I had locked it after he left he starts screaming and pounding on the glass saying to open the door I'm gonna kill you fight overcame flight at this point sin I walked around the counter and about six feet from the door I pulled out my knife and locked eyes with him and yelled I'm calling the cops get out of here he smiled and walked out of the view of the window at this point all of my adrenaline just crashed I locked myself in the office and called 9-1-1 crying explaining I'm alone and a man tried to lure me into the bathroom and was outside trying to get into my bar I waited an hour and a half and no police showed up I called my boyfriend and he drove up to the shop my manager watched the security cameras from home making sure that the man didn't come back I did the deposit in immediately drove home my boyfriend following close behind my male busboy has been coming in to work with me so I'm not alone and the managers have been keeping an eye on the security cameras while I'm working so to the crazy dude who tried to lure me into the bathroom to do God knows what to me I hope I never see him again [Music] the story takes place in late April of my freshman year of college my school was situated in the western mountains of my States and as the school year was coming to a close I was focusing on packing up all of my belongings at the time I didn't have a place to park my car in my town and my parents house was three and a half hours away on the other side of the state so my only option to get home was the Greyhound I had acquired quite a lot of crap during the school year sorority gifts clothes blah blah blah and decided to go home for the weekend to take some of it early so that on move-out day the rest would easily fit on my mom's Honda Civic the bus was usually a pretty sweet gig with your student ID it was $10 round-trip Express and I'd taken it a few times before so I felt pretty comfortable the only snafu was that the last stop for this particular bus was in Greensboro and because I lived an hour and a half east from there I'd always have to get a connecting bus to Durham where my mom would pick me up well Durham's pretty seedy the busted Durham was pretty seedy I hated sitting around waiting for my mom and she hated me waiting there so we decided that this time she'd drive to Greensboro after work and pick me up this is where the story begins the bus station was an add-on to a much older Amtrak station I decided to sit in the train station side while I waited because it had this beautiful Antebellum charm that spoke to my art students soul more than the sterile Greyhound terminal not to mention there wasn't anyone else in there which meant I had more room to spread out my bags and myself it was about 3 p.m. and my mom wasn't going to be there for what would coincidentally turn into one of the longest hours of my life I had been scrolling through Facebook on my phone when he noticed a form moving in my peripheral vision I looked up and there was a man standing over me I'm sorry what was that I pulled one of my earbuds out to look at him I instantly felt uneasy he was over six feet tall easily 250 pounds and something in his mannerisms wasn't quite right I asked how you're doing today honey his mouth curled into a smile but something in his eyes betrayed the innocence of the gesture my eyes darted around and I noticed that aside from this man I was still the only other person's terminal I smiled back hesitantly in exchange pleasantries with him hoping that if I kept my answers short he'd move along quicker quite the contrary he sat down very close to me like thigh the thigh close to me he kept asking me questions about myself which I felt obligated to answer at a politeness and before I get an onslaught of comments telling me he should have told him to screw offer you're not obligated to be nice to anyone I would like to point out a few things he was easily twice my size like most women I was raised to be polite to everyone in whether it was from drugs or mental instability this man had a look in his eyes that said you are prey you look like a good girl are you his common had come out of the blue and made my stomach lurch excuse me I squeaked out his dark eyes were burning into me his expression deadpan you a virgin my mouth went dry I felt incredibly embarrassed uncomfortable and couldn't quite find my words so I nodded his face relaxed like he was relieved and that not quite smile settled back on his face I knew you were a good girl I just had to ask because you're thick you know men love thick women his hand moved to my upper thigh and my heart was racing they'd do anything for a thick woman like you I hate myself for it but my innate reaction to literally everything is to laugh nervously which he mistook for an invitation to keep making advances I had contemplated just grabbing my bags and running for it but where was I going to run the station was a ghost town to get to the Greyhound terminal I have to walk through a poor lit hallway where the bathrooms were and I surmised he could easily just corner me there I shifted in my seat and his hand fell from my thigh at this point I heard a door open and saw another man walk in and sit facing me from the next aisle of pews my eyes silently pleaded with him to help me but he ignored me and said hi to the man next to me they had a brief conversation before the intercom called for his bus and he left God that's my boy Nate he said with a laugh I love him but he's one of them guys I'm talking about he'd do anything for a taste you're so sweet even I could take you back in that bathroom and nobody would even notice the hair on the back of my neck stood up a look down when I felt my phone vibrates in my clammy palm it was my roommate texting me Abby's text was just a stupid screen capped meme but it gave me an idea I texted her back to words call me that your boyfriend I looked over at him surprised by the aggressive undertone of the question in retrospect I should have probably said yes but I had just gotten out of a really abusive relationship and the thought of boyfriend's disgusted me so I denied it it's my mom she's on her way back to pick me up now no boyfriend are you serious I can't believe that he said shaking his head can I get your number ice cream what to come up with an excuse I weakly told him I don't give it out to people I don't know but he ignored me I could check up on you you know make sure you're being good and all his eyes twinkled something sinister and I could tell he was irritated at my reluctance Ivy had texted me back asking why she needed to call which I replied now I denied his offer again and before he could push the subject further my phone rang I jumped up immediately and then fatica Lee answered oh hey mom what's that you're here uh-huh uh-huh okay I'll be right away no no stay on the line in case I can't find you throughout my talking Abbie was on the other line asking what I was going on about oh yeah mom the bus ride was fine I'll tell you about it when I get in the car I am beside the last part and I think it finally registered with her that something was wrong I slung my duffel bag over my shoulder and I will never forget what happened next I went to grab the handle from my suitcase and simultaneously the man's hand shut out and grabbed onto it first I let my eyes slowly travel from his hand up to his face and froze when her eyes locked I have never seen so much animosity in my life slowly he smiled again an unnatural force kind of smile and said see you soon I ripped the bag out of his hand and hightailed it out of there I waited outside at a view of the train station and told Abby everything my mom showed up shortly after and I own but jumped inside the car I tried to explain what had me so rattled but she told me I was probably overthinking it and that he was probably homeless and mentally ill and didn't know any better typical mom regardless I never took the bus home again and I can only imagine what would have happened if he had gotten me in that bathroom [Music] I'm a 15 year old girl and I really enjoy listening to these kinds of stories well I did before this happened I also suffer from a mild case of insomnia and I'm often left alone at night it was a typical Wednesday night I was the only one awake in the house my parents and brother have gone to bed long before this happened it was almost 3:00 a.m. and I decided I should go to bed normally I would just shut down my computer turn off my light and then go to bed but I was on my period and had to brush my teeth anyways I took my computer with me and left my bedroom light on before heading to the bathroom the bathroom is across from my bedroom and in between the two is my brother's room our shared laundry basket the main entrance and front door and a small window that started about mid-thigh level I'm five eight and went all the way up to the ceiling I turn in the hallway light because I'm always worried that I'm going to trip over the laundry basket and wake up my brother if he heard the sound of my body crashing on the floor I got to the bathroom did my business and just as I finished washing my hands I heard a small click sound come from out in the hallway I froze it sounded like the hallway light was being switched off and I was the only one awake I hadn't heard anything other than the one small click so I know it's not my brother because not only would he have yelled at me through the door but also because his bedroom door gives a very distinct sound when it's opened and his door just naturally closed and less propped open which it wasn't when I walked by I didn't move I couldn't I waited and listened for any other sound any sign of movement I heard nothing so I risked moving and pressed my ear to the door still I heard nothing I tried to rationalize it as my mom having woken up and seen the light from her bedroom and came and turned it off I eventually calmed myself down enough to open the door much to my relief the hallway light was still on I told myself that I must have imagined it I flipped off the bathroom light and hadn't even had the chance to step off the bathroom tills when I heard small firm taps in the hallway window my heart leaped into my throat and my whole body turned cold as I'd looked toward the window there stood a man who was outrageously tall as he was hunched over just to fit into view if you've ever played the RPG the crook'd man he looked just like the monster from the game he also had the most unsettling smile on his face that said I can get to you if I want we stared at each other for a while it felt like hours before he lifted his hand to his mouth and made the motion and then pointed to the front door I chanced a small glance at it and the deadbolt was unlocked that must have been the small click I heard my dad always made sure the lock and deadbolt are secure before he goes to bed my heart must have blocked my screams because I couldn't get any out I was so scared I looked back at the man he laughed a laugh that sounded like a manly witch cackle and then left triggering the motion sensor lights in the driveway that's and I realized just how long he had been standing out there because it takes a very long time for them to turn off once they had been activated I finally found my voice and screamed at the top of my lungs I ran in my parents room and they were staring at me with wide confused slightly angry eyes I tried to tell them what happened but I couldn't get anything out through my sobs they must have put two and two together my dad jumped up and ran off to my room probably thinking that someone was in there and my mom called the police I don't know how long it took the police to get to my house but it felt like an incredibly long time I gave the police my statement and they hadn't found him yet and it's been weeks I have a large half circle window in my room that can't be covered efficiently I keep thinking that he's out there watching me my dad checks for me every night before bed but he hasn't found anything yet but I dread the day that he does [Music] I'm a 23 year old Mayo in Florida fairly introverted hardly ever get out of the house this encounter happened a few months ago it was about 12 a.m. and how was it getting a bit stir-crazy needed to get out and just chill with someone so I texted a special lady friend of mine we made plans to do our normal routine of hanging out at this nice secluded Park I went and picked her up we drove through our spot and spent a couple of hours just chatting about anything and everything and she got hungry so we decided to hop in the car and drive down the road a bit to McDonald's hurray for 24/7 fast food this is where things started getting weird we arrived at McDonald's and went inside instead of the drive-through we ordered her food while I went to the restroom to wash my hands I'm a bit of a neat freak I really wish I hadn't gone to the restroom that night as soon as I walked in through the restroom I saw this guy standing at one of those heater dryer things all right not too weird but then I noticed that he was kind of hunched over it and wasn't moving whatever I ignore him I wash my hands and realized that he's standing at the only dryer in the place the paper towels are also empty so I awkwardly try to ask the guy if he was done using the dryer he didn't respond thoroughly creeped out I just walk out and drama hands in my shirt and get out of the restroom and find my friend and we sit down at the table to eat maybe 20 minutes go by and we're headed back out to the car to go back to our spot well my friend had to use the restroom so I figured I might as well also I mean surely that guy has to be gone by now right wrong that guy was still standing at the dryer mumbling something to himself now I go into a stall and take a leak and can hear him hitting the button on the dryer over and over again I wash my hands again and don't even attempt to get to the dryer but then the guy moves says I'm trying to walk past him he steps back right my path and just looks at me I noticed he's around my age he just stares at me and says excuse me uh okay I put my head down quickly say pardon pardon me and rush around to him to get out of the bathroom thirty seconds later ask some waiting for my friend to get out of the ladies room the guy walks out he just sits down on the table near me and it's just staring straight at me my friend walks out and notices the creep just eyeballing me she jokingly ass make a new friend in there I just shake my head at her and try to lead her out to the car without making it obvious I'm wanting to run from the guy then he does the weirdest thing he just starts cackling like a madman I mean straight up Joker laughs I'm thinking to myself now crap crazy druggie dude is gonna do something bad then he just stopped suddenly looks down at my feet and says nice shoes Osiris Osiris is a brand of shoe by the way I managed to utter uh thanks and quickly walk away out to the car as my friend and I are getting into the car we noticed the guy staring at me from inside McDonald's just straight eyeballing me a death stare then he stands up and starts booking it towards us he wasn't running but he was like speed walking he bursts through both doors of McDonald's and starts coming right at us and now he looks angry I pulled out of the parking lot so fast it's a good thing the roads were empty my friend and I went back to our spot and hung out some more every car that we saw in the distance I kept freaking out expecting it to be the weird guy following us my friend just teased me about it the entire night and still teases me about it to this day
