what is the creepiest thing to happen to you while you were home alone my mom would leave my brother and I home alone sometimes when I was a kid my dad was in the Navy so she was often on her own with us when I was about 10 and my brother was seven or eight she figured we were old enough for short durations alone we knew not to answer the door the phone or to leave the house and we always follow that it was easy because we pretty much just played video games and watched TV we also weren't on our own very long it was usually that she needed to run quick errands like a stop to the store or post office well one day in the middle of the day we're on our own and someone knocks at the door we ignore it they knock again and again so we decide to quietly sneak towards the living room so we can get an idea of what's going on our front door had glass in the top path but it was diamond-shaped sections of bumpy colored glass you couldn't see any details on the people outside but you could get a general idea of their shape and size the person knocking was an adult but that was the only thing we could tell I know I was hoping it was one of the persistent neighborhood kids well we decide the best thing to do is to go back to a room in the back of the house and wait for them to leave but after we get in the room we can hear the person coming in through our side gate suddenly this went from strange to terrifying I quickly ran to the back door put this light in the dog door and locked the back door then I ran back to the room with my brother there were windows in the back with no curtains and I didn't want anyone seeing us I told my brother to hide with me and not to make any noise we got into one of the Messier closets and just waited my mom arrived home at about this time she was able to see a different scene than we were as she recognized my grandmother's car her mother-in-law it was my own grandmother who was terrifying us she had decided to stop by completely unplanned and didn't let a little fact like her not being received by us stopped her from getting in just last winter heard something on the back porch but didn't think anything of it since we get the occasional or raccoon just being an a-hole then after a few minutes heard it again but like walking off the deck so at this point I grabbed my gun and go to check throw the backlights on and there's nothing but footprints in the snow called the cops and they said the prince went up to the back door of every house on our side of the street then just off into the woods the next day a few miles down the road the man was shot and killed while breaking into a guy's house while he was asleep one night I was downstairs playing some game with headphones on when I started to hear a strange noise it sounded like a cat meowing but more so if a human was trying to imitate a cat's meow for a little I shrugged it off thinking it was coming from the game eventually I turned to look at the front door to see my dog tilting her head and staring at it I took the headphones off and realized the sound was coming from right outside my house once off I was certain that it was a human imitating a meow i sat still for what felt like ages just staring at the door and deciding if I should make a sound or just let it pass to this day I have no idea what was out there we live in an area mixed with normal people and a few potential meth dealers so I'm very glad I never opened the door to check my cousin who's a few years older than me was babysitting me when she was a teenager and I was maybe eight or nine we were making pasta and Italian bread and breadsticks for dinner we only ended up making the breadsticks and not the Italian bread that's important because both were purchased in those refrigerated Pillsbury bread tubes so we are watching TV after cleaning up from dinner it's maybe 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. parents should be home soon and we hear this loud bang come from the back of the house we both freaked I grabbed my softball bat and she grabbed a knife from the kitchen we called my parents who then called the cops because we really thought someone was in the house we run outside freaking out and locked ourselves in the garage the cops get there before my parents and scour the house before they let us back in they didn't find anything and said we were clear to go back in my parents come back in with us and start grilling us about what could have happened they get to the kitchen and find the tube of bread we didn't use sitting on the counter spilled everywhere turns out when you don't put those back in the refrigerator they pop open on their own when they get warm that was the huge popping bang noise we heard a tube of bread I was about 13 or 14 at the time and was home alone watching TV while my parents were out with friends when at around 9:00 p.m. I get a call from some random number I obviously answer but when I say hello it almost sounds like someone is faintly breathing on the other line after saying hello a few more times I hang up and think nothing of it well about an hour later I decide to call that number back for whatever reason and I get one of those we're sorry this number has been disconnected spiels and I [ __ ] you not the second I hung up that number was calling our house again I immediately got the hell out of the house and went to the neighbors to hang out until my parents got back was on my computer working on some projects for class next thing I hear our fingernails running down the length of the wall towards my bedroom door I get out of my chair check the hall and see nothing I go sit back down at my desk and then hear heavy footsteps walking away from my door back down the hall get up again see nothing 15 minutes or so passes by and the house is quiet hear the footsteps again and then my door creaks open I get up run to the door and there was nothing there again by this time I panic and decide I need to leave for a bit nothing ever happened again after that I used to babysit this little kid he would have been just starting to walk when this happened so still just a new person he went to bed fine fell asleep pretty fast all was well about two hours after he went to bed I was playing computer games and just glancing at the video baby monitor the parents had set up of course it was somewhat flickery and the image wasn't perfect but it was helpful to make sure I knew he was okay on this particular night the camera glitched horribly and was very fuzzy for a few second when it cleared up the kid was gone I was freaking out internally but still wanting to make sure he was okay made my way across the halt of his room the door was open a crack leading to a dark and empty room no kid to be seen so I nudged the door open and walk-in heart-pounding when something grabbed my leg I pretty much died a fright the little guy had gotten out of his crib and made it to the door but got stuck holding himself up in the doorknob when I walked past he latched on to my leg I was glad he was fine but that was terrifying this one time I heard a really scary hissing noise from downstairs whilst I was playing on my ps4 I honestly thought it was a demon or something so I got the baseball bat I keep under the bed and slowly went downstairs with my finger over the 999 call button long story short my neighbor's ferret broke into my house and was playing tug-of-war with my cat using my favorite jumper I was the only one in the house and we have no pets and decided to take a nap downstairs on the couch all of a sudden I hear what sounds like kid footsteps running around upstairs I say kid footsteps because they warm heavy sounding I say hello and it stops it starts again and I say hello again then it stops it starts again and I start walking towards the base of the stairs and it completely stops as I take the first step never happened again got up in middle of the night for a drink passed my dad on the way to the kitchen noticed he was walking towards the front door I asked where he was going but he didn't answer he was like in a trance it seemed he walked past me as if I was invisible and out the door I walked up to the door and looked out the peep window he was sitting on our sidewalk that led to the driveway under a tree he had his arms on his knees and just stared into space it was pitch-black out except for some street lights I walked to my mom's room to ask her what my dad was doing she said what do you mean he's right here she turned over and my dad was laying in bed asleep I was home alone parents away and I was dog sitting from my neighbor I got up to lock up my front door and my heart lept into my throat when I saw a literal handprint in the condensation of one of the windows I live in a rural area and know our neighbors well to make it worse there's a scream that must be lifted to even touch the window I was absolutely petrified I left lights on throughout the house check that all windows were locked and slept in my room with my aunt's large dog just in case home invasion is a huge fear of mine so this really rattled me I was 14 my house was super haunted and creepy I could tell some stories however on this day I was showering my mom worked the evening shift as a nurse I was home alone my mom was fascinated with television if anyone remembers the little 6-inch TVs that were super long and old school she had one of those she bought from a catalog called Fingerhut in our bathroom since it was there I had the news or something on for background noise while I was showering the cable went out and it was that static white and black fuzz with a shush sound being in the shower I could not exactly deal with it at that moment so I just let it go a few minutes later I got out and was drying off I was going to turn the television off in just another moment then I got a cold shiver down my spine just as the static from the TV stopped making noise everything went strangely silent I turned to look at the TV and clearly and succinctly a voice emanated from the TV and it said you're dead I got a pair of shorts on really fast and exited the house sitting on the front porch outside until my mom came home three hours later was home watching TV while my two six-year-olds were asleep upstairs and I was breastfeeding my five months old daughter we were the only ones home at the time I hear rustling and quiet running footsteps and giggling in the other room and get annoyed because I had had two heard the to bed multiple times that night and it was then nearly midnight I tell them to go to bed and the sound stopped but I didn't hear any footsteps on the stairs the sounds start up again and I tell them again to go to bed and the sound stopped for a moment before they seemed to move to the kitchen I finally get up and stomp over to drag them up to bed but the second I stepped through the door and start saying their names it goes dead silent both rooms are empty they couldn't have gotten back upstairs without going past me and I would have heard if they'd slipped out the back door because the pool alarmed would have beeped I glanced around in the few places they could have hid and find nothing and at this point I'm starting to feel a prickly sensation all along the back of my neck and immediately turn around and practically run upstairs and straight to their room when I opened the door they were both dead asleep and I know they didn't know how to pretend sleep very well at this point but I poked them a bit to check they were both out I locked us all in their room and sat in their chair with my daughter that night didn't sleep the wink and just tried to listen for anything else and heard nothing it never once happened again and it was over a decade ago but it was by far the creepiest thing that ever happened in my house thanks for listening to radio TTS subscribe today to become an Ice Cream Sandwich and for those of you who
