Elementary School & Urbex Stories | 10 True Scary Subscriber Horror Stories (Vol. 24)

I'm a 27 year old girl and even though this story happened almost 20 years ago I still think back to it every year around this time I was a nine year old girl in grade four and it was Valentine's Day we had spent the week decorating our class store for the yearly competition and making a big card for a principal and vice-principal and other office staff signed by all of our class as our entry and an invitation to come see our theme decorated door I don't remember how this part came about but I was the one to walk downstairs to the office and turn in our card it was simple enough and I always look forward to getting out of the classroom even for a little while so I started to the office nothing spectacular happened on the way down or in the office it was just a normal walk through the halls and down the stairs and then cheerfully turning in our class Valentine's Day card I started down the same direction I came from but that chosen to go up a different set of stairs than the ones I had gone down I'm just some layout info for you the school is a big rectangle with a large auditorium that had granite floors in the center the second floor was a couple stories up and had an open balcony with a short railing overlooking the auditorium below the classrooms boarded the lower and upper hallways and all had windows facing outward it is also a World War one historical building and can't be changed significantly or knocked down now back to the story I was coming up and out of the stairwell and had started to walk towards my classroom but I heard a whistle one that sounded like a bird and instinctively I turned around to see what it was there was a boy sitting on the floor outside of one of the sixth grade classes kids were typically sent to sit outside the classroom as a mild punishment or to calm down when I turned around the look I met eyes with a boy and he had some kind of smirk on his face before I could turn around to start walking this kid says booga-booga what seriously I just giggled then turned around to get back to class a few seconds later I was being pushed up against the short railing looking over the auditorium far down below he pushed and push and it was quite a struggle I won't pretend like it was easy for me as a little girl but I managed to get a kick right where it matters if you know what I mean the boy dropped and I ran crying back to the classroom I don't remember much the events that followed immediately afterward I really think I was in shock however I know exactly how it all turned out my mom was angry beyond words my Emer only child and it took her five years to have me so needless to say she was livid at the idea of losing me my mom threatened lawsuits in going to the local news and newspaper it turns out the kid had many behavioral mental and learning disabilities and his parents said not givin him the correct medication or attention that he required it was a long argument that went on for weeks but in the end my mom did have sympathy for the boy who was clearly not being given the care he needed she did not however have sympathy for his parents who she saw as responsible my mom settled for having the boy removed from the school district and having the school put in taller railings so this might not happen again to someone else but the story doesn't end here after this event my mom was ultra paranoid and signed her little ballerina up for karate I was not thrilled about this and my thought was I defended myself just fine so why do I need karate anyways when I showed up for the first class you want to know who I saw in the room yep it was the boy who tried to push me over the railings I pointed him out to my mom and she was in 100 miles-per-hour crazy mommy mode all over again after my mom explained what the boy had done to the owner instructor the boys mom was told she could no longer bring him to the class there and they were to leave immediately his mom got mad at me of all people why she misdirected her anger I will never know her child could've ended my life or seriously injured me at the very least and it was due to her negligence in her son's behavior as much as I know it was due to his very unfortunate circumstances that doesn't make it okay that doesn't make me feel safe to be in the same room as him and I also don't know why she thought it would be appropriate for a child who was shown he can and will use violence to be taking martial arts therapy would have been the more logical route in my opinion after that I didn't stay in karate long as it was always a girly girl more interested in dance and Barbie dolls all these years later I still think back to that day I wonder what became of that boy I wonder if he got the help he needed I wonder if he remembers and sometimes I even asked myself it was all a dream but it wasn't a dream it was something I will always remember and and learn many lessons that day the biggest being always be aware of your surroundings [Music] my friends and I used to urbex a lot for those who may not know our vex means urban exploring which is exploring abandoned places we did it a lot literally any opportunity we had to go we did this one weekend was different though it was on a Friday night and my friend DJ called me excited about this place he found about 45 minutes away at that time I was with this girl I really liked Miranda she'd never been able to go with us but this time she was and was super excited so we packed a couple of backpacks with the essentials flashlights face masts small first-aid kits all that DJ picked us up around 6 p.m. along with three other friends Matt Jessi and my good friend Babs it was a 45-minute Drive and on the way there DJ explained where we were going apparently there was a small abandoned neighborhood in the mountains we follow the instructions that DJ's coworker sent him turn right at the fork in the road drive straight through until you come up to a patchy spot on the Left park there and walk until you come to a gate step over it and just keep walking until you come up to an arch that's how you know you're in the neighborhood altogether it was a 40 minute walk which surprisingly didn't wear us out because we were so excited we finally find the arch and passed through it and what we saw was a legit neighborhood there were old houses everywhere you couldn't even see where the roads divided we started going to some of them one of them had a children's room where clothes were still hanging up and judging from that this neighborhood was from the 20s or 30s eventually we lost track of time and it was dark I mean the type of darkness that hurt your eyes because they can't adjust to it at that point it was almost 11 p.m. and we didn't want to make the 40-minute walk back and drive another 45 minutes back home we had no choice to spend the night in one of the houses we found one though Babs had a bunch of blankets with her so we decided to sleep on them I got the biggest one for Miranda and me to sleep on and with an we were all fast asleep I woke up I'd say at around 3 a.m. to this overwhelming sense of dread Miranda was awake to asking me if I felt that too I asked her how long she'd been up like an hour I got to get water from my backpack and I felt something watching me instantly I felt uneasy Miranda dug through her bag God had a lighter and we lit what was left of the fireplace come to find out everyone else was up to DJ set up and was like yeah earlier I went up to take a pee and when I turned around something walked by the doorway just as he finished saying that Jessie comes running in like a bull through a china shop she stopped to catch her breath there there's someone buried here we all looked at her like she was insane okay fine follow me then she takes off out the back door she was right right there in the back yard was someone's decrepit wooden grave marker Babb starts freaking out guys look at the dirt someone wasn't buried here someone was dug up here needless to say we got out of there quick we all ran back to the house and started to pack everything up then that back door just slammed clean off its hinges and there was a point where we all froze and listened we heard footsteps shuffling and the creepiest of all what sounded like someone taking a brush through long hair after that we only grabbed our wallets and keys and ran out all of her stuff is still there the blankets backpacks with flashlights and first-aid kits in them I think Jessie left her camera behind too and the fact that someone dug up a body in their backyard gives me the creeps to this day sometimes I get the urge to find that place again and see if our stuff is still there but the thought of having the field that non ca ting dread again makes me think twice about two years ago I was working in a large corporate restaurant that I shall not name there was a guy there Blake that I worked with he wasn't necessarily attractive in the conventional sense he was tall and super skinny but had blue eyes and liked to laugh when we talked I started falling for him well he apparently liked me too so we made plans to hang out then smoked some watched some TV etc well the day came and we didn't actually smoke as we both thought that the other was going to have it but we did end up fooling around it was fun and it was sweet as he was extremely kind and caring to me but afterwards he changed suddenly he wouldn't talk to me or even look at me he was just sitting on the floor staring at the TV when I told him I was leaving for work and that I'd be back later for my stuff he just shrugged later I texted him to ask him if he was okay and this was the response I got he is fine maybe not your to idea of okay but he is when I asked who it was I was introduced to sticks the supposed alternate personality of Blake I don't remember everything that was said between Stix and I but the gist of it was that he was the only reason Blake was still alive as Blake was depressed and Stix was the protective personality this was right after the movie split came out so I figured okay maybe he legitimately had something happen to him that caused him to develop personality I told him I would come back to get my stuff and I was told not to come anywhere near the house I didn't listen after work I went right back and knocked on the door there was a light on their house somewhere as I stood there I texted him to ask him to come open the door so I could check on Blake and get my stuff and leave the light went out making a completely dark I spent two hours trying to get him to let me in finally I warned him if he didn't let me in I would break in the door suffice to say I seem to have no sense of self-preservation I broke in now looking back I really should have called the cops to report a possibly mentally unstable person holding my stuff hostage instead I entered the house completely dark took off my slick sole shoes my restrictive jacket just in case something did happen I had pepper spray in one hand in a self-defense punching tool with two spikes on the other I called out the saying that I was coming in and to please not attack me my dumb self didn't clear the room as I went he came out from the bathroom as I passed grabbing me from behind forcing my face up by my chin with one hand and pressing something against my throat with the other I couldn't breathe I was choking on my tongue from the way he was holding me I panicked I lashed out with my defense tools a few times he shook me like a doll stop attacking me he hissed I told you to leave I held my hands up forcing words past my held jaw I pleaded with him to let me go but I leave I just wanted my stuff eventually he started moving towards the door dragging me he threw me out and shut the door I was barefoot in the wet with no jacket keys or phone I beat on the door telling him to give me my stuff so I could go home he actually threw them out through the crack door all but my jacket I returned to my car with a message that he had put my stuff in the trunk of his car and it was open for me it wasn't all there and I told him that on the way home I was shocked that he continued to message me except this time instead of warning me he was telling me that while he held me up he was thinking of all the ways he could get rid of me in my car that's supposedly he thought that cooking me up would be the easiest way to get rid of the evidence I learned more about the human psyche than all my college classes send all the documentaries that could have prepared me for this now at this point I should have gone to the police but I had just broken into his house and I figured that they would see him as defending himself I went to work the next morning with a bruise from his hand on my chin and a scratch of my neck we only talked once after that I asked him to bring the rest of my stuff to the place we worked I told my manager about everything and she did sympathize with me she was worried because working with him gave me severe anxiety then one day I walked into the fridge to grab a pre-made salad and found the nasty wilted brown lettuce and moldy tomatoes sometimes we got icky tomatoes in with the good ones we just threw them out and cleaned the good ones and every salad was wrapped in plastic wrap each one had a message on them the first one I found was telling me to go end my life the other said things like I spit in the salad and for me to go off and jump in a fire we found out my handwriting timing and cameras that it was Blake he was promptly fired as he walked out he punched a window outside the dining room hard enough to crack it it was thick glass the only reason I'm putting this up is because he recently tried to get in contact with me over Facebook he said he wanted to apologize and I told him and some not so nice words to leave me alone and that's a story of how I narrowly escaped with my life [Music] I just got back from staying in San Diego I had a great time with family this experience was just so surreal to me I can't shake the image out of my head I came down to visit my grandparents they are the closest people I know by the airport even then they are still 45 miles away my flight was for 4 a.m. so I left it too I knew I wanted to go through security fast and look around I was about 20 minutes into the trip when I got to Pleasant Grove I was driving past the post office and looked at the school then I stopped dead in my tracks there was a man standing in front of the school I couldn't see his face he was wearing a horror cliche outfit on black hoodie black pants and tilting his head looked at him in horror frozen my instincts told me to drive off but I wanted to ask if he was ok I picked up my phone and he was gone nope I whispered and drove off I was driving and all of a sudden he ran in front of my car I swerved to the side you know I could see his face I could see his nose and a smile he tilted his head again I backed up and drove off my flight I just kept thinking what was that guy doing was he some kid trying to be creepy or an actual creep so and the rest of my time on this earth I hope I never see this freak again I am a 15 year old girl who has always been interested in true crime paranormal activity in real life monsters so when I went to spend the weekend with my aunt and she offered to tell me about their house gremlin I was interested she explained this creature to be friendly harmless and a playful thing this made sense to me because I had never felt anything harmful in her house she told me that she'll be doing basic things like taking out the garbage and would see a short gremlin like creature peak from around the corner and when she would go to look it would be gone the gremlin would also take things like when she would set down her keys walk away and come back only to find them gone and she knew what happened after something went missing she would look and usually not find anything she told me all she had to do was ask and call out to it I know you took my stuff and I want it back and shortly after it would be in the same spot that it went missing from at first it sounded crazy to me and I didn't believe and I think it knew that I doubted it as the weekend progresses and was coming to the end I really wanted proof of something being out there it was Sunday morning and we were sitting at the dining room table my aunt was sitting on her computer and went to log into her Facebook but couldn't remember the password this is normal for my aunt as she has a lot of different accounts and passwords for different things now my aunt is old-school and writes everything down in her rolodex which is basically a little card box full of little note cards to write down information my aunt reached over to where it usually sits and couldn't find it she stood up and started looking for it and as she was looking I told her that I wanted to see the gremlin before I left she looked at me and said well this is it honey I please help me look I got up from my chair and walk away from the table and as I did this my aunt looked at where I was sitting and yelled out oh well and I asked if she had found it with a quick glance at where she was standing I realized that right in front of my seat the rolodex was just sitting there this was proof enough for me as I knew it was not there before I sat down and complete shock ever since that day I don't doubt that creature anymore and he is not mess with me or my stuff again I have just recently discovered this subreddits and do have other paranormal stories unrelated to the gremlin that it will be posting here soon these stories have more to do with an evil or unpleasant spirit that has followed me if people enjoyed this I might think about posting that here as well [Music] the story is the most horrific incident I've ever been in my name is Katrina I was 22 when this happened I used to work in the Eaton Centre in Toronto part-time as did my sister Tanya she worked at Hallmark and I worked in a toy store I wanted to work like any normal day helping customers purchase their items sweeping the floors and just making sure all the toys were placed neatly by the time I knew it was lunchtime I remember not feeling very hungry that day so I decided to get some popcorn after I paid for my popcorn and opened the bag about to indulge I heard what I can only describe as a bunch of balloons popping almost instantly I heard a few people scream and cry you know sooner after that did I hear the sound of people running I was on the third floor of the mall and in the middle was a glass barrier that allows you to look down to the bottom level of the mall aka the food court I threw my head over the glass barrier and looked around and to the far right of where I was I see a man's body in a pool of blood it felt like my heart stopped I backed away from the glass barrier and ran back to my store making my way through people that were running for their lives I got to my store and told my manager that someone was shot and that we needed to lock up I remember my manager telling me to get everyone out of the store and I hate to mention this but my manager made me send away a boy who was no more than eight years old as I went to escort the boy out of the store still trembling I saw two women running almost side-by-side screaming that he's got a gun I heard a loud pop and I fell to the ground in terror my managers through the security gate down and screamed out and he hit the ground just as I did another loud pop echoed through the store he told me and my two co-workers to stay down and get to the back room we crawled to the back room and he locked the door I took my phone out of my back pocket and died my sisters number as I had feared she was working today my sister answered and I asked if she was working she told me no then it hit me I was stuck in the mall with some lunatic with a gun that just killed someone I told my sister about the situation my sister was over at my house with one of my roommates and my boyfriend my roommate called the police and relayed what I was saying to my sister my sister then told me that she was going to get our roommate Matt to come pick them up and take them down to get me I told them I loved them and told my sister that if I didn't make it out to tell my parents brother and boyfriend that I loved them after I hung my cell phone up I started to cry I was sure that this was the day I was going to die we waited in the back room for what felt like hours my hands were clammy I hardly had a voice from crying and I remember feeling hot I'd say about 15 to 20 minutes past when I heard a sound over the speaker telling everyone else in the mall to evacuate I picked up my purse and we started to run up the back no sooner did we reveal ourselves from the back room a few police officers had their guns pointed at us when they saw that I was upset and that we were still in our uniforms they told us to hurry and to get out as I made my way to the escalator I looked around to see a grim sight about eight to twelve strollers were left by the Queen Street doors with babies still in them I held my hand up to my mouth and shocked and continues run out the doors I made it to the top of the escalator and a few news report teams started to shove microphones into my face and remember screaming at them to get out of my way as soon as I got outside I saw my boyfriend and my heart sank I fell to the ground and started to cry my boyfriend picked me up and started to hug and kiss me telling me I was safe I stuffed my head into his chest and cried a man asked me for an interview and my boyfriend pushed him away we went to Tim Hortons and grabbed a cup of water and slugged it back not saying much to anyone and I drove us all home the following day I spoke to a private investigator who wanted me to go down to her office to interview about what happened that day I couldn't do it I was terrified to leave the house let her record me and use it if they ever found the person a few weeks later a man by the name of Christopher husbands admitted to the crime he ended the life of two people on top of which a pregnant woman was trampled over as people were trying to escape and a 13 year old boy was shot in the head - luckily he survived I now have a fear of crowds and have nightmares of seeing this man's body it still disturbs me to this day June 2nd 2012 as a day I could never forget [Music] when I was 10 my mom's sister and I went to a family function on my mom's side we came home that night in March around 10:00 p.m. or so my dad was intoxicated he went to a bar out of town with a couple of co-workers before my mom told me to go to bed and find different times but being the stubborn kid I was I didn't listen pretty soon my dad was upset that I wasn't listening and this set him into a terrible ranting mood they called my mom's sisters every name under the Sun insulted everything about them all the while my mom begged him to stop eventually I ran to my room and tried to fall asleep this is where things get hazy but around 30 minutes later I heard a loud crack in a bang my dad kicked a hole beneath a window in her wall I storm down the hallway into his room and ripped the closet doors off their hinges I remember listening to him pack a bag while screaming with my mom he came into my room turning on the light and demanding confused and scared me to get up and get in the truck he wanted to take me somewhere my mom obviously objected and I stayed put while the banter and went back and forth even more so he stormed out of the house got in the truck at midnight and drove away my mom called the cops and a police officer I met earlier due to a school function was in the living room thirty minutes later my dad was apparently at his parents a mile out of town and I stood in the hallway and watched the officer talk with my mom my mother came down the hall and told me I could stay up and play my D s if I wanted to I drowned out the sounds of the cops radio and my mom sobs with new super mario brothers I still remember which levels I was playing on my dad's mom showed up at around 1:00 a.m. and she slept on our couch that night I crawled into bed with my mom at 2:00 a.m. around 5:00 a.m. I woke up to my dad crawling into bed reeking like booze and cigarettes this will be the only time I'd heard him cry he sobbed as he held me apologizing over and over again over the next few months things got better my parents are still married to this day and are much happier now we never talked about this instant but it has forever changed me the worst yet best part my sister slept through everything and has no idea what happened [Music] this story took place when I was an 11 year old girl a bit of backstory my siblings and I grew up in a small town with the population of maybe 800 people we lived two houses away from a Catholic Church in a graveyard one day in the year 2000 my parents sent my little sister and I to the store with a note for the family-owned gas station owner named Kayla to be able to sell us packs of smokes for my dad we arrived to the store in about 10 minutes we were counting out the bills and changed to see if we had enough money for some surprise candy bags and we did my sister and I grabbed two surprized bags and a pack of my dad's favorite cigarettes he paid for everything and left the store my sister and I were talking when I turned my head and saw a man not a normal looking man this man looked like he had just walked out of the hospital he looked to be in his 70s he had a walker an oxygen tank two bags attached to the Walker with red and white liquid in it he had tubes up to his nose in a tube down his mouth and was slowly trying to walk with the help of his walker with each step he took I heard him gasp I turned to my sister while pointing my finger in the direction of the man and said look my little sister turned and she saw the man too my sister turned to me after examining him and said that poor guy we both turned back in his direction and he was gone there's no way that an old man with all that equipment in that condition that he was in couldn't easily run somewhere to hide my sister and I were confused we returned home shaken up and our parents noticed it immediately my mom asked me what was wrong I told the story and my mom believes that he was a ghost four days later my sister and I were playing outside in the yard and saw a bunch of cars driving away from the church we ran to see what was happening all we saw were people crying and wearing black dresses later that day we asked our dad if we could go out for a walk my dad agreed and my sister and I went I told my sister was more than likely a funeral as we went walking in the graveyard to investigate to the very far left of the graveyard we saw a fresh grave that was dug up and then covered again I ran to see the picture of the tombstone and my heart dropped into my stomach it was the man than we had seen walking for days earlier I was stunned I looked at the date on the stone he was born in 1941 and he had died five days ago I grabbed my sister by the hand and we ran back home and I told her not to say anything to our parents life continued on normally from then on and we never saw the dead man again [Music] about six years ago me and my sister were asked to join our parents for a family holiday to Greece my sister and I were at the time 19 and 23 years old we had not been on a family vacation just us for about four years and we kind of miss just doing something together as a family we always traveled with our parents and other family members when we were younger so we figured it was about time we were pretty excited to go to Greece for me and my sister it was new we had never been to Greece but our parents had been there the year before but now a new town and a new hotel usually my parents always travel to the same hotels in the same cities they weren't really that adventurous and preferred just traveling somewhere beautiful and calm to enjoy the beaches and food nothing more really as for my sister and I we usually preferred doing more than just hanging at the beach all day well we both figured it would be cozy either way so this is how our creepy family vacation starts we had finally arrived at the airport in Greece traveling from Norway which was not that long I think it took around five with plane we landed early in the morning in Greece everything was so beautiful and different from home we were really excited two hours later my family and I had arrived at the hotel it really was beautiful we usually always traveled to nice hotels not that my family is rich or anything like that but they're not poor either and we always preferred safe and secure hotels so this looked really nice we had separate hotel rooms from our parents since we were adults here me and my sisters shared an okay size hotel room next door were my parents we actually had a door in the hotel leading into their bedroom but we kept it locked at first my little sister was a little bothered by the doors since she felt we didn't have enough private space separating our two bedrooms we didn't think much about it and went to sleep so we wake up it's day one of our vacation I think we were there for about 13 or 14 days and the first week or so went alright we didn't really do much just stayed at her hope rym went out to the pool or Beach which was four minutes away walking distance and then we ate lunch and went back to the beach and for a jog or a walk at the beach there were a lot of people there but not as many as that we were used to from earlier vacations the weather was really great and it was warm every single day so every day was pretty much the same but it didn't really get boring me and my family always had a lot to talk about and we rarely fight usually my parents fight or have a couple of discussions with each other but this time it was actually none and I can remember so a few days later me and my sister decide to stay down in the hotel lobby where we just sat in the sofa talking and playing a few games online in our phones suddenly my sister pinches my arm looking me straight in the eyes there was something off about how she looked at me and I could tell she wasn't joking she slowly moved her head to the left letting me know where to look so I turn to her direction he had to turn back asking her what was I supposed to see something she nodded did you really not see I just turned around once more looking a bit confused asking okay I'm confused what do you want me to see she explained with a low voice that a man was standing around 30 meters away looking our direction pretending to read something but she had noticed that he had not one time had flipped the page on the newspaper he was reading which she definitely found strange she had met his eyes and stares without him really staring away I wasn't sure what to think I definitely knew she wasn't lying and there was something weird about the sky but I didn't really know what to say or what to think it wasn't like he had done something wrong or said something so so I just kind of brushed it off trying to tell her he was probably just weird or had been drinking and it wasn't even that late I actually don't think that he would even have time to have been drinking and he just kept staring I told her that we should probably just go up to our hotel room get some sleep before going to the beach tomorrow when we got up to our room feeling a little silly and paranoid looking backwards all the time till we got up safe in our hotel room we both grew up learning and hearing all kinds of things about humans strangers and creepers out in the world and kind of had all that stuff and printed into our minds we also were really into scaring each other in horror movies every time we had a film night tour or on a vacation we traveled with the least one laptop to be able to pick our own scary movies to watch and tonight was one of those nights we both wanted the watch movie and decided to watch vacancy which is a pretty scary movie to watch usually we went for the old classics but we decided to watch something newer we were both a sucker for the old ones the movie was now over and we were ready to go to sleep we were both tired and promised our parents to join them at the beach early in the morning they were always up at around 7 a.m. and we usually went down to meet them at the beach at around 11:00 or noon so we wake up at 7 a.m. and decide to sleep a little longer setting the clock to around 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. we both wake up change into our bikinis and pack our bags we took the elevator down to the first floor and we were staying in the fifth floor so it didn't take long to make it down we were both hungry and went to the small food store the hotel had on the first floor as we entered the store we could see the creeper from last night just standing behind some postcards just holding one up my sister looks at me with a big oh not this guy again we both turn around and walk away looking behind my back one last time as my eyes meets his he smiles it's a creepy long smile which really felt super weird I don't know why but it was like an alarm went off inside of me my guts were definitely telling me that this guy was up to no good I grabbed my sister's arm and told her he gave me a creepy smile she turns around and looks to see if he's following us we don't see him so we walk outside the hotel and we're surrounded by other hotels everywhere and we keep turning our heads but we felt pretty safe going outside down the road and down to the beach pretty much families everywhere you look with kids and cars passing surely everyone here can't be crazy we think to ourselves we arrived at the beach in time for lunch with our parents they laugh and let us know that they knew we weren't able to make it at 7 a.m. and we didn't really laugh back and I decided to tell my mom about the creepy guy from the other day and just now she's a really paranoid woman and told us to stay close to them and no longer walk alone and both agreed and felt much safer that way anyway we didn't even know if the creeper guy actually was a bad guy or had even followed us but we just went with our gut feeling it made me feel really young again staying close to my parents like a little child what I figured I'd rather get home safe feeling like a child then perhaps not getting home at all so the day went on like the other days nothing really bad happened we went out for dinner later that night then went back to the hotel lobby then the bed the next day was pretty much the same we went down the lobby early in the morning the creepy guy appeared once again but now with a new guy he was a bit younger but I couldn't tell his age and I now figured that they were Greek or from here from the way they talked and looked they looked like they could be from Russia or Poland the sort of Eastern European descendants his friend was wearing some really old weird biker Sunny's which looked rather weird and they both had really tight shorts on I figured the creeper was around mid or late 40s and the younger guy was in his late 20s early 30s as me and my sister made my parents aware of the creeper they both turned around and looked and said they looked weird my dad didn't really say much other than you know they look weird but I'm sure they're just looking for some fun or something like that so we walked down to the beach me and my sister while our mom was on the toilet and my dad was waiting for her she never locks the door so he always has to wait for her me and my sister just decided to walk ahead suddenly the two guys were right behind us laughs aiming whistling at us we couldn't really hear what they were saying or understand a word they both just kept on laughing we started to walk faster and we're finally at the beach we put her towels down and saw our parents walking towards us the two guys suddenly put both their towels and belongings right beside us I kid you not only 2 or 3 meters they were away from us this really gave us the chills especially since they were a lot of empty spaces to lay down at the beach on this particular day this whole situation was just getting odd what did they want we never talked we never showed any kind of interest or even smiled back and they kept coming back or closer to us it was obvious we weren't interested in anything they wanted the whole day at the beach was very weird the entire time they kept looking at us and staring and holding their phones up I could swear a couple of times it was like they were trying to take photos but they didn't do it too obvious so we couldn't really say anything finally we had had enough my mom and dad gave them a horrible stare back like like don't even look at her daughters kind of look they stopped laughing and acting like teenagers and got very serious as we walked away we didn't care the day passed and we didn't see them so we slowly thought to ourselves that perhaps they got the point now and that we weren't interested in anything that they wanted to ask or do after that we had a whole day of not running into those creeps we finally got her holiday spirit back but we felt more calm my dad even joked that perhaps they had left the hotel and back to their country later that night after we went out to dinner my mom felt really sick and had to go lay down and decided to sleep early my dad sat down with my sister and I for a few hours talking and walking around looking at the hotel and a few other hotels down the street we decided buy some groceries for later and make some food in her hotel room my dad told us that he wanted to go and check on her mom to see if she was feeling any better and if she wasn't he was just going to watch the TV in their room anyways I'm pretty sure there was some football match on and he didn't want to miss me and my sisters stayed down in the hotel lobby for a few hours we started talking to some Swedish tourists just small talk suddenly the creeper appeared again so yet again we were met with intense weird stares my sister is usually a very outspoken person and probably wouldn't mind asking him what he wanted or why he was always staring at us I'm more quiet not afraid or letting some people know how I feel but I'm just more quiet in a common person rather than my sister but we both kept her mouth shut trying to ignore the guy who always appeared we figured a vacation was almost over anyways so what could possibly go wrong we weren't even alone he kept hiding behind a newspaper but we could tell he was looking and staring us down my sister wanted to go upstairs but we were both a little hesitant on how we would play this one out if we were to stand up and leave would this creepy stalker guy follow us would he just sit there and not do anything anyways I thought to myself that we're at a hotel that seems fully booked that means people everywhere almost every corner of my eye I could see someone so I said to my sister hey it's getting late let's go upstairs and watch a movie or something she agreed and we walked towards the elevator and entered the elevator was just standing still no movement whatsoever we decided just to walk the stairs we were on the stairs to the third or fourth floor when I hear the elevator opening I got this really weird feeling feeling of fear I had never experienced and I've experienced a lot of fear in my life but this was something totally different I saw the creeper standing still in the elevator I recognized his clothes I didn't see his face just the shape of his head or arm and a shadow he was wearing a Hawaiian shirt and some oversized shorts this was the really creepy part and instead of walking outside where his elevator had stopped the man just stood there me and my sister both froze like do we run do we wait and see if he re-enters here what do we do he pokes his head out looking towards the stairs before he can even meet my scared look me and my sister ran upstairs and kept running not looking behind us my sister tells me while running that she thought that she saw him running after us we finally arrived outside her hotel room opening it and shutting in as fast so we could before I entered the room I made sure just to stop and look if the man was after us I swear once we arrived at the fifth floor where we were staying not once did I see the man or he or anyone so it would pretty much be impossible for him to see which door was ours it must have been at least 20 different rooms on the fifth floor my sister was at this point very scared and not sure what to think about what had just happened and made sure to tell her he didn't see where he had entered at this point I was just grateful that we weren't completely alone my parents were sleeping only a door away my sister and I stayed up and talked for a while and agreed to not wake our parents up until the next day and Lippman know what had just happened we decided to sleep and not think any further into it this is much easier said than done well it must have been around 3:00 in the morning when we were woken up to a knock on the door we both stare at each other terrorized - what just happened and which door to look at we were a hundred percent sure that the knock wasn't coming from our mom and dad's door and there was no way my mom or dad would have left without telling us that a knock at her door at 3:00 in the morning they would have entered the door from their room to ours so this is definitely the most scary part of the story so far suddenly I hear a second knock I'm completely shattered and Beyond able to move from the bed looking directly over at my sister as she sits still and awaits for another knock I'm not sure if I heard any sounds outside the door neither did I want to hear any or walk any closer to the door we both just sat still I look my sister in the eye telling her I'm not opening that door neither are you I think we have to wake dad up now I can't do this anymore she nods and as we slowly move towards the door where my parents were sleeping I can hear a final knock a little louder than before and suddenly I could hear my dad's voice he gotten out of his bed and open the front door to his hotel room where he looked at the creeper who stood outside me and my sister's hotel room I was completely in shock I can't even remember what he said or what my mom did or she was still asleep I can only remember what they told me and then I could see the man's shadow while talking to my dad in his boxers I didn't even want to see him or hear why he was knocking at the door in 3 in the morning and how he knew where we stayed and never been so frustrated and scared at the same time in my entire life I remember my dad talking him a very short conversation before shutting the door and presumably the creeper left us and went somewhere hopefully far away my dad told me and my sister that he could easily see that when he opened it it was in fact that same creeper and how shocked the man was to see my dad standing in front of him instead of me or my sister it was like he wasn't expecting that at all and even had a back-up story for why he was following us and knocking at the door I think my dad said with an angry loud voice with his terrible Norwegian English why are you following my daughters and knocking at the door this time what could you possibly want the man was just standing there taking a few steps back from my dad and staring down at the floor looking away never actually looking my dad in the eyes just answering with his really poor English I don't know maybe wrong door just mumbling on and on about the door and knocking but not a single word he said made any sense he couldn't even finish his sentences properly we all went to bed just exhausted and tired just ready to go home and let this nightmare be over we kept the doors in between open the entire night the next day we went down into hotel lobby talking with the hotel manager about what had happened my parents were very angry and frustrated that he knew our hotel room the hotel staff looked really weird at each other and didn't really talk much they simply apologized and made sure this wouldn't happen again and if they were trying to find out who the man was my mom started rambling on and on about human trafficking and all the stories she's heard read and seen on TV we're all thinking about what a terrible place this was the staff didn't really seem surprised or scared at all it was like this was something that happened a lot the next day with no encounters with a creeper we arrived at the hotel finished at the beach for the day security guards of the hotel is holding the creeper in his arm throwing him out of the hotel we couldn't hear what they were saying we just stood there watching as he was thrown out and far away from us thankfully we went straight up down to the front desk at the reception asking what just happened they gave us a very simple explanation of what had just occurred well you see we were really sorry to inform you but the man never booked in or stayed at our hotel he was never a guest in our hotel or in any hotels close by they simply had no idea how he had gotten into the hotel and how he was able to come and go as he pleased the woman at the front desk talked with a common voice to let us know that it was all taken care of now now we should be able to enjoy our final days and to have a good vacation we were all in shock and freaked out what was this guy's intentions one thing was we were all certain of was that this man certain wasn't up to any good and what could have happened if we were there alone just two girls the scary part was a day after arriving home I got a strange text on my phone from a foreign unknown number telling me that they missed me and my sister or wondered how we were and that he couldn't get us out of his mind and now he hoped that we could meet up again he also wrote something like from the hotel guy or sincerely mr. Crete since my family and I had vacationed in Crete Greece I was obviously terrified in a little scared out of my mind it was at my parents home and I remember reading it taking a screenshot before running down the stairs my parents showing them the text they were all shocked and told me to block the number it didn't take long before I got a text from one of my friends letting me know that it was only her that had sent the message to mess with my mind I was pretty upset but eventually I laughed at it luckily I've never heard anything from that guy and hopefully he never got my number after this episode I must admit traveling all over isn't really something I must do anymore I really wanted to travel to new places and experience new cultures and see the world but there's so many things in this world that want to harm you and scare you one thing I'm very sure of is that never ever will I travel alone to a foreign country I'm even scared and a little paranoid taking the train out of town in my own homeland [Music] I've had quite a few paranormal experiences in my life but this one has to be the most terrifying some background information on me in 16 years old as of writing this I've been diagnosed with severe mental disorders and I tend to be skeptic many people don't believe in the paranormal would probably say that my experiences are due to my mental disorders I myself have wondered that as well however I came to the conclusion that there's no connection I have been diagnosed with PTSD due to an abusive father anxiety and depression well I do have nightmares which is common with people with PTSD I have never had nightmares that included the paranormal and I have never hallucinate 'add at least to my knowledge this haven't almost two years ago I had a small dog at the time named Holly she was a border collie Australian Shepherd mix who was mistreated by her old family and had some aggression issues we were working on my room was pretty small it was on the second floor with a window and a walk-in closet I had my bed under the window that was straight across from my bedroom door in my closet I have never liked that closet and would always get a bad feeling I could never leave the door open especially at night me and my mom felt like the whole house was haunted due to several reasons my dog Holly would go insane barking and growling at the door to the garage and my closet when no one was in there or standing back there my lights would keep flickering in both me and my mother had bad feelings about the house I've seen a few things in the living room and both me and my mother have heard things one night I was lying in bed facing the window Holly was laying at the end by my feet I had all the doors closed and lights off as I was drifting off I heard Holly start growling thinking she was growling at someone outside I told her to quit and lay down she didn't and actually started rattling louder I turned and started to prop my body up so I could look and see what was outside I noticed Holly was facing the window but my door she was kind of crouched down at the edge of the bed teeth bared hair standing up ears pinned back weirded out I turned all the way over and froze I saw a dark figure hunched over staring at me and my dog he was tall and thin with its horns red eyes long talons and a big grin and looked terrified I had never froze seeing the paranormal well I made a note about it I always told myself if I leave it alone it will leave me alone I just kept staring at it not being able to move or make a sound Holly kept snarling the things smile grew as I think it noticed I couldn't move I started moving closer and closer I had laid there terrified as it raised its talons up like it was going to slash me that moment Holly jumped off my bed to attack the thing I heard her teeth snap close as the thing disappeared she landed in the floor right by my bed I could finally move but Holly kept growling at the door Holly didn't stop growling to an hour or two after the event Holly sadly passed away due to being hit by a car a few months ago she was stubborn and aggressive but still a good dog who was brave enough to defend me from this thing and I will always miss her I haven't had sleep paralysis since or before this event and hope it never happens again I still feel the creature around me especially in the dark ever since this event any time around a dog I feel the presence move away from me I now have a service dog due to my PTSD his name's chance and he's a giant German Shepherd mix who stands over two feet at the shoulders since having chance with me everywhere the thing keeps away from me I want to get rid of this thing and maybe one day I will but till then I hope they'll never have that close of an encounter again stay safe out there you never know if there's something out there that you can't see the let's read podcast has brought to you by Wix your one-stop shop when creating your
