world absolutely cannot go on without them feel free to dm me you've got a 50 50 shot of me answering or telling you to f off take it back to 2007 2008 i was 16 when this began 1819 when it finally went to court picture in norman rockwell asked suburban family parents three kids a yard and a dog in blink and you'll miss it usa one random day a neighbor man had a mild dispute with his neighbor as a totally warranted response neighbor man nm here on out takes every hose he has and floods their yard solid decisions lead to solid consequences so naturally he was fined for water waste my parent runs the water in small town usa and because nm lived a block from us he decided to drive over to the water district shouting that he is an acquaintance of my parent second solid decision of many to come from an m absolutely no one takes kindly to name droppers folks so took that gem away under life facts my parent comes in and tells him that even if his kids did this they would have the same repercussions gracefully glossing over the fact that other than maybe driving by one another none of us have actually interacted with nm m repeats the name of the man working the front desk as well as my parents name and claims it's now personal and storms out my family members and i begin to see nm at random places constantly the dmv the grocery store our respective jobs apparently when your cuckoo for cocoa puffs and your parents pay for your house you have all kinds of time to stalk it went from random sightings while out and about to phone calls the cliche 90s type of call breathe hang-ups and i can see you variety at this point nm was more of an annoyance than scary but as i have stated when you underestimate crazy you lose every time nm began parking across from our house staying from 6 pm to 4 am literally just sitting in his car blasting music staring at the house fool must have had determination and bladder of a race horse because what the [ __ ] who sits there for tennis hours his music was trashed too maybe he was a masochist and into self-harm seeing how long he could suffer through shitty music in a full bladder i doubt anyone with a semi-rational concept of social interaction could fathom why this went from three to four times a week to a nightly occurrence imagine being a 16 year old female that doesn't even feel comfortable to change in her room because of the prospect he might see through the blinds somehow trying to sleep knowing he's out there we were prisoners in our own home he began to get bolder nm drove his car speeding and up onto the sidewalk at my sibling and her partner while they were on the sidewalk out front coming home from a date they both had to physically jump out of the way to avoid being hit he made lewd gestures at me when i brought my dog out for a walk and was waiting for my sibling to come out and join us on the walk it was so bad i ended up crying and going inside this had been going on for a year at this point the cops always said the same thing there's nothing we can do unless there's a threat made against you or someone is harmed my parent confronted meaning tired of his [ __ ] and asking him what he thinks he's doing and m in the street after my incident to which nm called the cops and they came asking why we were harassing and threatening an m i will never understand why the system waits until you're a victim rather than prevent someone from being victimized almost two years in and it's christmas time my parent has a brain aneurysm fortunately they make it through without any lingering effects which is extremely rare i convinced my other parent who had been living at the hospital with their sick partner to come home and shower and eat about 9 00 pm and we get a knock on the door a random man in ratty clothes holding a christmas present says he's there to deliver it to family name we ask who sentiment he says he can't say we ask who works for it and he shoves the gift at my parent and leaves we're obviously uncomfortable to open it parent decides they need to know what it is and open the present inside is a 17-page document of the grounds on why nm is suing my parent that was currently in the hospital even i could tell it was fake with the grammatical errors and typos and m took the time to sit down and type this up himself thinking it would scare us this document and fake details he put in did not the fact this 40 something year old man was so fixated on our family that he sat and typed a 17 page fake document did scare us things progressed and annem began pacing in front of our car and pretending to have phone calls where he talked about pushing my parent down the stairs or knowing where we kids went to school and worked and how easy it would be to access us at any time at the time i worked a closing shift that let me off at about 1am he would be parked next to my car and follow me home one time i even tried to take random roads and he still stayed right behind me pulling up to the house with an m parked across the street think neighborhood street with maybe five feet between a car parked on one side and the other and having to get out and run to the door was a nightmare we were all exhausted from not only the aneurysm scare but also living looking over our shoulders my parents friend told her friend who is a da district attorney about the situation she called and came over and took our case on pro bono testifying was a wild ride we had to put in official statements prior to being called to the stand who were not allowed to be in the room when a family member was testifying nor were we allowed to talk in the halls as we waited for our turn imagine reliving two plus years of traumatic experiences being crossed examined where you are made out to be a liar and then not able to have your family comfort or support you afterwards was not ideal there was enough to put him away for a year and a half as well as grant a felony restraining order we moved while he was still incarcerated my sister passed while he was in prison and he immediately tried to sue her estate she was 21 at her death when he was released he claimed that her testimony from him running his car at her and her partner was false and the only reason he was locked up not the case as there were harassment and stalking charges and that the money people donated to a gofundme for accident he was entitled to there's so many more details but this was already long enough so numb let's never ever meet again you made us prisoners in our own home for years clearly are still the same and have not learned a thing from your time locked up truly i say this quite often but this is perhaps one of my biggest nightmares aside from home invasion which i have recurring nightmares about actually it i'm actually traumatized it's not funny but i'm laughing to get through it the concept of someone dedicating that much time and attention to you is very alarming to me and the concept of being afraid in your own house like i said home invasion is a fear of mine so like this relates the concept of being afraid in your own house is something that i truly think is often underestimated kind of like when there's a break-in in someone's house and you know people might be relieved that nothing's stolen but most the time the real scary aspect is someone got in here so someone could get in here again and i get that same kind of vibe with this stalker the kind of thing of like always being on edge and i feel like it affects every single aspect of your life because if you're afraid like that you're probably not going to sleep well which then makes work harder which then makes you know like if you don't sleep well you can have bad headaches nausea weight gain weight loss like there are all these other things that just add up into just living a hellish life and frankly i'm glad these people got away because that is truly alarming to say the least about two years ago i moved into a new apartment the walls were very thin and because of the fire safety laws in my city my bedroom had one window which led into the living room and none with outside access the window will be important later it was three bedrooms one for me one for the master tenant and one spare which at the time was rented out by a pretty friendly guy well friendly guy had issues with his work visa and had to move back to canada last minute leaving us about two weeks to find another roommate our quickest and easiest option was craigslist due to my work schedule i had no part in the selection process but was content when the new roommate moved in a little later he seemed a bit off but friendly he was a very tall large guy but pretty quiet and not someone i wanted to go out of my way to hang with but was also okay to be around and be cordial with about two weeks into his move-in the master tenant left for hawaii leaving him and i alone in the home for the month-long duration of his stay for the first few days things are normal all of a sudden about four days into the trip i'm woken up at 8am to a frantic knocking at my door roommate will call him kyle is standing there when i open up looking frazzled he looks at me dead in the eye and says so do you want to tell me what went on last night to which i was shocked and confused because i had come home from work at about 9 00 pm and immediately showered and went to bed i explained this to him and he tells me that he heard me screaming and arguing with someone in my room that he saw me in the side alley out the window arguing with our landlord whom i'd never even seen at that point that he heard people coming in and out of her house i tell him no way none of that ever happened after staring at me for a little longer he leaves and doesn't bring it up again next morning i wake up to the same thing this time he says he saw me arguing with my boyfriend i was single at the time had seen me talking with our other roommate who's in hawaii and asking me for the badge number of the officer i'd spoken to since he had apparently seen me talking to a bunch of police as well this time i get angry and more or less tell him to cut this [ __ ] out because i'm not doing anything and don't know what he's talking about he gets a weird look on his face and he says i think i had a seizure in my sleep the next time it happens call an ambulance and leaves for a bit only to start knocking again about an hour later and when i open up kyle repeats the exact same story verbatim this happens once more before i tell him to leave me the [ __ ] alone and leave for work i go to work as normal and i'm reluctant to return that night but i'm too tired to switch to an alternate location big mistake about 1am i wake up to slamming doors kyle is pacing back and forth between his bedroom the living room and out the front door walking in and out of each room turning lights on and off mumbling angrily and slamming the doors i can see his figure pacing back and forth through the frosted window in my room that leads to the living room since my room is dark he cannot see inside suddenly he screams i can't live like this why are you doing this to me i think he's on the phone and don't respond after a few moments he screams my name repeatedly and i realize he's directing it towards me i knew i had to get the [ __ ] out of there so i very quietly creep out of bed and start getting dressed and packing a bag of clothes for work in the morning i almost done when he screams i hear you and charges over to my room slapping the wall next to my door but not touching the door itself i look toward my window and see his shadow lean all the way forward pressing his ear against the glass i was [ __ ] terrified and sat completely still unmoving he eventually screams my name again and moves away from the window and i hear him start pacing between the rooms again now my shoes are kept on a rack outside my door and not inside my room so i know that when i leave i'm going to need a moment to put them on i decide to wait until this pacing takes them out the front door again at which time i plan to grab my shoes put them on and run as i'm formulating this plan the pacing stops he screams do you want to [ __ ] fight about this come out right now and we'll fight i swear to god i'm a very small five foot girl and this guy is easily three times my size so i'm definitely not looking to fight thanks after a few minutes he turns off all the lights and i hear the door to his room open and close followed by silence i wait for a moment to be sure i can't hear any movement and then decide to take my chance i took a breath and pulled my door open quickly i step out and grab my shoes before i look up a second later and see him standing shirtless with a pair of boxers and sock on in the dark of the hallway his arms hung slightly outward in an awkward position he says in a low calm voice ma'am we need to talk that was a hard no for me so i grab my shoes and run out the door with them in hand i run about half a block barefoot before i stop to put them on when i look back he's standing in the porch light of her front door watching me run but not moving luckily i had a friend who lived two blocks away and i had their spare key so i let myself in and crash there for the night and that's where i stayed for the next week or so while we worked things out with the master tenant and cal agreed to move out within the week he says he doesn't remember anything that happened or wasn't sure if it was real or not but if i said that's what went down then it must be real decal left he sent me a photo of the house he's sitting on the table and says i'm out nothing else i take a friend over there with me to scout it and ensure that he has actually left when we get there we discover that not only had he left a ton of food and furniture but he had ripped all of the fire alarms out of the ceilings he had unscrewed them and removed the deadbolt to the front door and left them lined up neatly on the table we then realized that my front door can only lock by using a key from the outside and that it had been locked when we arrived meaning kyle still had a key we called a locksmith immediately even after changing the locks i was still terrified to stay there alone afterwards and never went to sleep at night without barricading the doors with chairs and other furniture to this day i still fear for his safety he was obviously psychologically unstable but also wonder what could have happened if i hadn't been as lucky as i was this is one of the main reasons that i have never ever had roommates in college i chose a single dorm and it was the smallest room ever like i think i've mentioned this before that if i opened a drawer i couldn't open the door because the drawer would be in the way and if i ever opened my suitcase i couldn't open the door or the drawers like that's how small it was it truly is as big as i think an average bathroom and i still chose to be in a single room because i did not want to deal with someone i don't know and i think that's one of the craziest things to me about roommates is that obviously a lot of people choose their friends as roommates but for people who pick a complete outsider i don't know how you can sleep at night like they could be a murderer like i understand the reasons why people do that obviously rent is less whatever but it's like psychologically it would be very difficult for me to not freak the [ __ ] out and maybe that's just because i'm an anxious person but then i read stories like this and i'm like maybe you're justified and being really anxious about it but clearly this person was not mentally well then again that doesn't also justify the harassment that this person went through that's a straight up no for me i'm glad no one got hurt but that is traumatizing hi so this is my first post in the sub i want to start off by saying that reading all the encounters posted here has made me want to share my own i don't know if it's as intense as some but my experience definitely scared the [ __ ] out of me to start let me explain myself i'm 5'7 113 pounds and i was 16 at the time of the encounter i'm a multi-sport athlete track handball volleyball basketball and hockey and i have insomnia this all happened around 2am on august 10th of 2019. i'd been over to my best friend's place because she had returned home from a vacation and she had birthday presents for me hoodies and gummies if you're curious i spent almost an hour there already and wanted to head back home soon because honestly my town is scary at night drug dealers rapists and murderers you know the deal so we have goodbye to my best friend and started walking down her street i guess a party had just let up because behind me at the end of the road about 20 or 30 yards from where i was standing there were a couple of men walking across the crosswalk they were both pretty tall i'm guessing between 5 11 and 6'3 the two seemed harmless at first when i looked in their direction but soon they came to a stop they were both looking at me at this point i felt uncomfortable so i just kept walking that's when i overheard what one of them said hey that's a girl at this point i whipped my head around they were starting to walk in my direction now and one of the two men had moved over towards the sidewalk where there was no light i knew at this point that something wasn't right and i began to pick up my pace they were still getting closer i didn't know where the second guy was but when i looked back the first guy was still following me down the middle of the road i think they were planning to cut me off and trap me between the two of them the minute i was about 13 yards from the t intersection i started to run and that's when the yelling started oh great now she's running i hooked a sharp right and then a left i could still hear them behind me at this point all i knew was that i couldn't stop moving i had to lose them somehow i was coming up to an apartment building with a small parking lot behind it there were no lights i made the split-second decision to veer off into the parking lot and i squeezed myself under one of the cars i don't know how long i waited there it could have been a minute but it felt like a lifetime i watched the two men run past they didn't even bother to check under the cars which was definitely in my favor the minute i felt that i was safe i backtrack and took a different route to my home i was too scared to take the main route in the fear that i would have bumped into them i know what i'm about to say stupid but i didn't go to the police i wouldn't have been able to give a proper description of the men because i hadn't seen their faces if there's anything i learned from my experience it's that no matter who you are you need to be extremely careful you can think that the part of town or city that you live in is safe but that really isn't the case there's no protective barrier to keep out people with bad intentions please whatever you do watch your surroundings as if your life depends on it if i'd been listening to my music and not paying attention i hate to think what could have happened to me i hope that no one else has to experience the fear that i did it was almost like the prey being chased by predators and to the men that followed me let's never meet again and that is why i also have a fear of parking lots i know this didn't occur in a parking lot for the most part but people get preyed upon in parking lots specifically mainly because at night they tend to be empty a lot of them have really bad lighting but things like this i mean like is it really surprising that i'm paranoid now that i'm reading all these things i'm like actually maybe you're just justified maybe you're not crazy as opposed to what your family thinks i'm glad that she got away and glad that she was smart and aware of what was going on but it does really make me sad that people have to be that aware like of course being aware of your surroundings is necessary but it's a different thing when it's being aware in order to save your life rather than just you know so you don't trip and fall or something more wholesome i guess anyways guys let me know what you think in the comments down below let me know if these touched upon any of your fears and if you'd like other videos like this let me know thank you guys so much for watching thank you to my patrons as always let's get right into the fan art [Music] you
