so he's a little back story first so this happened back in the fall of 2016 I was a newlywed 18 and moved halfway across the country to live with my husband I was in a new town and had no friends whatsoever my husband he was deployed in the early spring of 2016 - a few months into deployment I was getting really lonely and just wanted to head home so I decided to make the 16-hour trek home alone and I packed up my essentials and my cats and I left at 11 p.m. because I couldn't sleep I was about four hours into my drive I think and I was growing pretty tired so I pulled into a well-lit public rest stop so that I could catch some shut-eye I pulled my car into a spot right under a light and I made sure Kozma nearby so it's about 3:00 in the morning at this time and I fall asleep but the next thing I know I hear a knuckle tapping on my driver's side window sleepily I wake up and see an older man maybe about mid 40s I'd say kneeling down to my window and stupidly I opened my driver-side - please don't shoot me ma'am I won't what do you want I will my wife and I have we're stranded here and we need money do you have any we're right over here he points to the van parked in the dark off behind him at this point yeah well we're just over here if you want to follow me no man I'm good I don't have any money I'm sorry at this point I'm beginning to feel like something is wrong come on I swear I'm up to no harm just come over to my van my wife is in there sorry but I don't have any money and I'm using the rest of my money to go home okay all right miss all right god bless god bless with that he stumbles off to the next car am i right to do the same thing but now I'm wide-awake and quite honestly I was feeling scared I turn on my car eventually and I just peel out of the lot and I don't know what he wanted I didn't see a woman in the van that he kept pointing at but I know that I didn't want to find out and to be honest with you guys I have a hunch that and that whole episode was some sort of kidnap attempt when I was in middle school about 11 years old at the time I'd say I had a neighbor who lived directly across the street who barely ever came out of his house he was a really tall and always will black clothes windows always dark almost like they were brought it up from the inside or something and I just had an uncanny creepiness about him most people in the neighborhood felt the same way too basically the only reason people knew he existed was because he would just randomly open up his front door and mocha extra slow to the mailbox and then back inside of the house sometimes not even getting the mail so yeah just a really weird guy and I was never ever allowed to have my window blinds open and if I was caught with mine open my parents would scold me and they were just really serious about that so I was waiting in my bus stop one morning yeah it's about 6:45 in the morning I think and the Sun was barely up yet my bus stop was at the end of my driveway only about 20 steps away from the front door to my house while picking a song on my ipod with my headphones on I noticed in my peripheral that creepy neighbor is walking up our street it's a hill and at this point he's passed my driveway and going further on up the hill that's not quite to the top where plateaus but then he suddenly turns around and he's walking back down there at first I didn't think it was that weird because like I said he just has weed things often anyway but then I realized that he's cutting across the road diagonally directly towards me my brain is processing what's happening and they're considering nothing had ever happened to me before that would maybe be concerned for my safety or anything yeah I mean the neighborhood is safe and the fact that I was a kid and all that I thought maybe he just wanted to talk to me or something I must admit that I was a little scared but for some reason my first thought wasn't to run away or anything and then I hear a slam and my dad sprinting into the door to get me apparently he was watching from the window and wasn't about to let this go I'd do whatever he wanted to do I remember my dad let me stay home from school that day and was calling around local authorities school officials everyone and we even moved shortly after months so a few years go by and I get one of those sex offender apps and it turns out that creepy guy was actually a registered sex offender aggravated sexual assault with complaint less than 13 years of age and he was also in possession of CP yeah I don't know what he was doing crossing that road early in the morning when it was dark and heading towards me a small 11 year old with nobody around and my parents not there but whatever it was I have to assume that it was something pretty sinister at the time of this story it was the summer after junior year and a couple of my buddies and I we're at someone's house doing the usual things teenagers do after a couple of hours of Xbox in basketball well one of my friends Sam rolled up with a trunk full of fireworks and we decided that it would be fun to go set them off at an empty field a mile away from the house as we all piled into Sam's car and started driving out of the neighborhood a man stepped onto the road and blocked our way he was huge - and covered in tats probably six three or so I'd say with a long dark hair pulled back in her a ready ponytail Sam honk the horn as the man just stood in front of our car yelling obscenities at us and finally my friend has had enough and whipped the car around him while flipping the guy the bird was speeding out of the neighborhood and towards the main road a couple of minutes later and we got to the field and set up the fireworks as we all hit around the edges of the grass the Sam stepped forward and lit the firework up seconds later and the firework ignited and exploded much louder than any of us had expected in fact it was so loud in fact its I ran back to Sam's car with him and he slammed on the gas and flew out of the parking lot onto the main road as we need the entrance to my friend's neighborhood it dawned on same that he had left the rest of the guys back at the field so he stopped the car and made me get out so that he could go retrieve the other guys I didn't understand why I couldn't go with him but it didn't matter it was a nice summer night anyway and my sat down on the sidewalk near the entrance of the neighborhood and just pulled out my phone after a couple of minutes of phone games he died of my hands and I thought shit and I just sat back and enjoyed the weather waiting for the headlights to come back down the road when I heard a slight noise behind me I turned my head expecting to see a bird or windblown branches or something but the streetlight outlined the figure of a man the man from earlier in fact he had crept up behind me while I was sitting there and he locked eyes with me and I was immediately struck by the wild look at them like he was both looking at me and looking through me at the same time or something I got up and backed away slowly and then turned and started walking away from you he kept pace with me though and began to yell at me hey you get the fuck back here I increased my pace and he continued to match it screaming at me the entire way and eventually I was full out sprinting away from him and I heard him slow down I tore down the sidewalk back to the parking lot of the field and it was reunited with my friends before relaying the story to them as well as we drove back we searched the area for him but he was nowhere to be found it dawned on me though that if my phone hadn't have died I probably would not have noticed the footsteps of the man and probably would have not had such a fortunate outcome in the end I don't know what his problem was or what he was going to try to do to me if he actually got a hold of me but man am I glad that my phone died that night so before I tell this I think I need to give some quick background info that seems relatively important to the story so it's 2003 and I'm six years old at the time I lived in a small condo with 1-bedroom 1-bath in a connected living room and kitchen with an island in between a spiral staircase with random miscellaneous things stored under it I was living with my dad with a mother who was out of the picture it was Saturday and I remember specifically watching them codenamed kids next door on TV in the bedroom after waking up my dad he worked a lot at the time but he was such a nice guy that he left the TV on Cartoon Network for me which he knew was my favorite Channel during a commercial break well I got up to take a person even though I knew I was home alone I closed the door out of instinct and boy am I glad about that the next thing that I comprehended was the sound of my incredibly noisy spiral stairs they can be heard literally across the condo because of how small it is and they just began to rapidly make noise that got quieter over the course of about two seconds and telling me that's whatever made the noise was going downstairs and fast as a six-year-old this was extremely concerning because as I said my dad always turned the TV on before he left for work and I knew that he was long gone at this point so what did I do well as any paranoid six-year-old would do when they think that they've imagined it I walked out of the bathroom and looked over the three-foot long railing across from the bathroom door and next away you would walk down the stairs they're kind of confusing I know but just try to visual it I guess if you want and what did I see none other than an afraid looking man looking into my living room but staying hidden under the stairs after being terrified in the bathroom I made a distinct effort to be quiet like a spy I was thinking so there was no way that he knew that I was looking at him more than likely practically guaranteed in fact knew that I was in the house somewhere okay so there is a man in the house and I can a yell at him to leave and maybe be murdered raped or beaten or something by the way there was no exit upstairs only a balcony with a screen door that was jammed for years and even if I somehow got it unstuck it's like a 15-foot drop that would be no good anyway so the only exit in the house is the front door it's a fire hazard I know or there was option B hide I opted for option B obviously I waited for what felt like hours but in reality was probably any about 20 minutes until I heard shuffling downstairs for about a minute then the sin that I was praying for the front door open I was still extremely skeptical even thinking that it was a trap to lure me downstairs my state put up stairs all day and view of the TV by the way and so my dad came home who I didn't tell about the whole incident matter fear that's I shouldn't have had I'm thinking that he would be mad that I didn't approach him or something nothing valuable was missing from the house but you're sure as hell that's I checked under those stairs every morning when I walked down them for the next three and a half years of living in that condo so why was he there I have no idea how is he there I have a pretty reasonable theory that simply puts my dad forgot to lock the door behind him after he left and this man was trying doors for some reason and he came in and hid upstairs somewhere to do something but got cold feet because I was a little kid but other than that I have no idea all I can say is that men am I glad that I had that bathroom door shut because if he had seen me directly who knows what could have happened back in 2013 I was living with my ex at the time he lived near a nice country billions as I was in between jobs at the time I picked up a job at a local garden center it was casual retail work fairly decent pay and easygoing enough that I could take a coffee break frequently and where basically whatever I liked as long as I wore my work polo shirt it was walking distance from my ex's house and full of people of all ages who are the most lovely people that's I've ever met most of the regular customers who came to the garden center they were usually sweet old people who would visit the cafe because we had free tea and discounted lunches for the O ApS if they had a store card so you often got to know all of them and some of them we even gave nicknames most of them were pretty sweet like pink hair lady she was about us 80 year old grandma who wore a Tesla with a jacket and bright pink hair but then there was camp event couple who used to drive a really cool camper van with bright orange flowers painted on it you get the idea but with creepy honest men though he gave most of the young girls their weird vibes he wore a a straw hat was Minnie's late 40s I'd say had round gold rimmed glasses and would wear strange graphics shirts with naked women on them or procession or pussy Patrol sort of slogans on the back and stuff he always wore ripped jeans where his knees were always hanging out of them which were always dirty and painted or mud or something he had this weird half smile too that would never leave his face and kind of alia that made people feel uncomfortable he would take off his glasses and clean them constantly which kind of made you feel like he was trying to get a better look at the girls who worked there or something especially the younger ones a 16 plus school leavers usually anyway it was a roasting hot summer's day and I had gratefully accepted the job of watering the hanging baskets outside where I could avoid the humid sweaty heat of the greenhouses I was wearing black shorts and my red polo and my tool belt to prune and deadhead the plants as I went with the hose in my hand and sunnies on my face I was busy buts enjoying the solitary job at the quietest part of the garden center and then I heard well hello there out of practically nowhere - he slipped out behind some wooden trellises and looked me up and down smiling with this weird two small teeth his eyes lingered on me for what felt like an uncomfortable few seconds and I turned off my hose and asked him if he needed anything he shook his head and kind of shrugged still smirking at my legs - I said to him okay sir have a nice day let me know if you need anything and my turn to continue but he says I've never seen you here before you're a new one right I say huh me well I've been here for eight months now he says I must have missed the memo that a beauty like you started here you have a nice tan you look young I say thanks 23 anyways I have to go back to work and he says nice to meet you and quotes my name I suddenly remember my name badge and I get slightly irritated that he now knew my full name I make a beeline for the smoking area where the tool shed was with an excuse to grab some smaller gardening gloves and by the time I returned to the floor he had left thankfully as the week's went by he would come into the store regularly usually mid-afternoon I'd say the coincidentally or so I thought around the time that I started my shift most of the time I was the only cashier so I would have to serve him he would buy the most just smallest pointless things like a florist wire or a tiny bag of birdseed and it seemed like he would purposely make a purchase with the intention of interacting with me he would make comments about my appearance statements mostly like you have your hair different today yesterday you had it down you have new glasses or that's a different lip color to yesterday he would always announce my name loudly and deliberately during every interaction - and I felt really uncomfortable but I was 23 and I kind of just politely shrugged it off at the time I ran Christmastime I was decorating the artificial trees and he cornered me in the forest of them at the back of the store he jumped out from behind one and he actually made me jump too which I was kind of pissed about him doing because I dropped a glass ornament and it had smashed he bent down also and tried to help grabbing my wrist and telling me not to touch the glass his grip it was actually scarily tight and forceful and his hands were clammy and gross too I slipped my hand out of his grip and asked if I could help him with anything and that's when it got weird he pulled out the leaflet from his back pocket and told me that it was an artist and had a Christmas art show happening in the local church hall and he wanted me to go with him he told me that he was a painter and thought that I would like his work I had never indicated that I was interested in art that's a him or anyone else for that matter which is why I thought it was strange I asked him if he wanted to pin the leaflet to the local event board and he reached out and touched my arm and said no that the invitation is specifically for you he pointed his finger and jabbed it to my breast and then he said you so I'm standing there in a dark corner obscured from view by artificial Christmas tree he's just kind of cornered by this guy who was touching me at this point I kind of just cringed away and said I was busy with my boyfriend that day sorry and kind of just scampered off at that point I remember feeling a really strange after that though the fact that he grabbed my wrist and jabbed his finger into my chest that way I told a few of my colleagues about it and they told me that that would warn me next time he was in the store so that I could maybe hang out in the store him until he was gone well that memo must have been missed by a few of the temp Christmas staff because one day I get told by one your friend is asking for you at the tills it wasn't totally unusual for my friends to stop wires it was a fairly popular for gift store so they're thinking it was maybe my ex's mum or something I head to the till and there he is and he's holding a piece of paper I cringe but he had seen me now so I walk over and ask what he needed from me he passed the paper over and asked me to open it folded up was a drawing of me with exaggerated breasts and like cartoon like eyes watering with hanging baskets in a a sexual kind of position I kind of stood there and I said thank you out of just a knee-jerk response but I couldn't keep it as I thought it was inappropriate to take gifts from customers at all I handed it back to him and he kind of looked at me with this angry stare he turned around and walked out just without another word by this point I had had enough to be honest and I looked to my managers door and told him about the whole scenario that had just happened and all the previous interactions that I'd had with him over the past year he watched the CCTV and agreed that's it was really strange that he gave me this gross picture and told me that he could talk to him if he came back he praised me for my reaction to his advances and said that I was doing the right thing and he would try and see him off next time if there was a next time so the next day was Sunday and I wasn't due to work my boss calls me and tells me that he just received a call from HQ stating that an anonymous caller had called in to report a staff member inappropriately coming on to a customer the staff member that they described and named was meeting the caller had said that I had been inappropriate towards him at work offered to have sex with him had led him on and obviously was promiscuous and that I had been pursuing him for a very year now the jerk even described a fictitious relationship we had had and ranted loudly about how I'd been cheating on my boyfriend before hanging up HQ luckily didn't believe a word as my manager had already mentioned the guys in one of the higher-ups but they thought it was wise to let me know about this crazy guy and suggest that my report to the police at this point the next day I did just that the officer I spoke to said that he actually matched the description of a man who was just a local pest somebody who would often harass young girls in the local area and he was also known to stalk girls in his car and had even attempted to abduct a young girl four years ago holy shit right the police officers assured me that they would file a report and talk to him officially in that he was not allowed in the garden center on any way near me again and if he did I was to call the police and he would actually be arrested unfortunately though it never stopped him sending a ranting letter to my workplace addressed to me saying that he was going to end himself if I didn't take him back and receive his gift that he drew of me fortunately the police saw this is unsolicited contact and he was thankfully arrested I don't know where he is and whatever happened to him but the fact that he actually tried to abduct a young girl four years ago is creepy to say the least so my husband Kidd and I we live out in the middle of nowhere on a plot of land that's about 100 acres I'd say there's probably about 95 of those acres that are wilderness with just a TV and hiking trails those we and several of the other previous owners created by exploring we use that land for camping and hiking and hunting and we'd like to find a spot just clear it a bit and camp overnight it's not much else with us there's so much space that we've never stayed in the same place twice in fact we've seen some kill sites of both old and fresh lots of animal tracks places where deer bed down etc and I've even spent a lot of time hiking solo where the kids are in school and husbands at work and whatnot whether alone or with family but we always carry a firearm for protection a few weeks ago that we decided to load up on some camping gear and start a new trail but we make the trousers that we make with spray paint on trees we were pretty far in the woods and having hiked almost an hour now when the atmosphere just seemed to change I don't know who noticed it at first but my husband who was leading the three of us it turned around and gave me a that concern to look the birds had stopped chirping at this point in the insects they had gone quiet they were just absolutely no sounds around us at all when in the woods complete quietness is really a good thing we continued on with though hyper aware of our surroundings while that kids continued merely talking we came to the stream that marks the midway point of our property and we stopped for a few minutes and my husband and I we just kind of stare each other down we both just felt like something was off but didn't want to scare our daughter eventually I finally broke the silence and said I suddenly didn't feel good and we should just go home now my husband nodded in agreement while that daughter voiced her protest but that's too bad kiddo when we turned around and we started back after going a few hundred yards but still in the silent wilderness mind you I look to my right and I saw a person crouched down in a ghillie suit about a hundred and fifty feet off the trail I'm positive that they saw that I noticed them too but they never moved I cleared my throat to get my husband's attention and when he looked back I put my hand on the gun in my holster on my hip which caused him to readjust his rifle in preparation of anything I sped up my family and we hurried back home and I told my husband as soon as we were inside we decided to call the police and report the trespasser and fire the report and was told to call again if we saw anyone a few days later and my husband and I went out alone and set up a bunch of deer cams we didn't go back out into the woods for maybe a week and then he and I ventured out to retrieve the cam footage out of the nine cams that we placed we caught a person in a ghillie suit in two images we handed copies over to the cops to go with their reports and we haven't gone back out since except to check the deer cams we haven't gotten any other trespassers pretty much ever and it freaks me out even more to think of the few times while camping that's we actually heard walking near our tent in the middle of the night we always assumed that it was just curious animals but now I'm not so sure anymore my mother and father had been separated since I was about 1 or 2 years old I'd say and I visited my father occasionally during the summers well I lived with my mother but for some reason but my mom believed that it was a great idea to send me to my father's this summer and this despite at the time he didn't even have an official place to stay because he had gotten kicked out of his home a few weeks after I'd gotten there and so he resorted to staying with a friend that he had met at a past homeless shelter Pete now that Pete's home on the service looks decent and even though he seemed odd nothing rang any real bells and he seemed pretty much okay the first night that I knew something was wrong though is when I fell asleep in his bed that night I woke up with bedbug bites just all over me I mean they were just literally everywhere when I first complained to my dad about the bites to the Pete was a bit upset and said my bed don't got any bedbugs he must have bought them in and he was just in absolute denial at that point another side notes my dad left for work leaving me alone with FIFA eight to twelve hours a day sometimes after a few days of being there I started to get more restless too because the people would sometimes make suggestive comments toward me that's he had sexual implications or would just refuse to let me eat anything and so my dad came home for many of those wondering why I didn't tell my dad was well because I assumed that if we didn't stay here that he would end up living on the streets and I'd rather deal with this asshole and live in a cardboard box right however one day I was a bit more talkative than usual mind you at this time I hadn't slept for 21 hours and had an 8 for half that time I was exhausted but the bedbug bites constantly made me itchy and I couldn't sleep and I just had to talk I don't remember completely how it even got to this point but all I can remember is that I was in the bathroom so at some stage I think I possibly told Pete that's I was just fed up with him and would tell my dad and as I closed the door behind me he suddenly came charging in like a bull I tried locking the door but he wouldn't let me close it twelve-year-old versus a grown man I didn't stand a chance strength wise now my mom constantly trained and drilled into my head that's adults they can be dangerous that you should never get into someone's car and in our own words if they got you in the car play along and then grab the steering wheel and try and crash the car it's better to die than have them get you to the second location no matter what even if you have to risk your life never let them get power or take you into that second location I remember going into instinct mode and I grabbed the razor that he left on his sink and Pete was screaming things like I'll kill you and just other shit like that mixed in with just swear words I remember I stupidly dropped my phone in the toilet but open the door and slip beneath Pete's arms I sprinted for the door and he caught me and slammed me into the wall I remember slicing his arm with a razor when he tried to strangle me and getting up and just running outside of his house he was unable to catch me at that point and then I made another stupid mistake some old guy beneath our floor kind of knew my dad and offered me to stay at his house and wait for him to get home guys I know that this was dumb to accept but I was tired and hungry and just wasn't thinking strange when he had made me a sandwich and gave me a blanket to sleep on his couch I was thinking what if he poisoned this food or it was going to try and rape me when I fell asleep or something imagine but 12:00 you're all thinking about all of this already what a world we live in right next thing I knew I fell asleep at the razor clutched into my hands yeah I fell asleep in this man's house I didn't even know I couldn't even call my dad because my phone had fallen somewhere in his house during all the scuffle and everything but eventually my dad got home and immediately threatened Pete grabbed our things and we went to a motel until I was able to go back to my mother's place needless to say and that was the worst summer of my entire life
