Top 15 True SCARY Stranger Encounter Stories

number 15 in Toronto there is a subway system run by the TTC or Toronto Transit Commission they often square off certain parts of the subway route which is pretty [ __ ] basic in order to do some upgrades or fix some things lately they've been shutting down the subway rides into downtown on the weekends anyway they were doing some upgrades on the track and we were going by pretty slow making sure not to run over anyone while they scampered out of the way out of nowhere the power cuts out now I should say that I wasn't the only one in the train car the cars are decently long and I was at one end and some woman was on the other end when I walked on to the train it was up at her end where there was this giant bubble of seats empty around her she was displaying the typical signs of batshit crazy people sort of avoided her everyone else was getting off at their stop but I still had it another couple stops east to go she was laughing audibly and I tried to tune it out by listening to some music but it never really worked it was so chilling that my brain sort of just kept ignoring the music and focusing on her so eventually I just unplugged the music and sat back trying not to [ __ ] my pants so anyway the power cuts out and Here I am sitting at one end as far away from her as I could possibly be and the lights turn off for some reason she stopped laughing in fact she stopped making any noise at all when the lights came back on about five seconds later when I had sufficiently [ __ ] my pants by now she wasn't at the far end anymore she was about three seats away from me staring at me the second the train stopped I bolted for the [ __ ] door after she relocated she didn't make another sound she just kept staring [ __ ] creepiest moment of my goddamn life number fourteen growing up I always wanted to go on a bike ride at night something about it seemed really cool to me it wasn't until I was 13 that my mom finally led me she told me to wear my helmet have my phone take a flashlight and she set the perimeters for where I was allowed to go she gave me about four miles which was a lot to me at the time so right after the Sun set I was off I loved it there was no people out walking their dogs no kids running around the temperature was perfect everything seemed to line up perfectly it was really fun so fun that I ignored the limits my mom said you see where I was biking was all these walking paths it was one of those grassy areas between two neighborhoods there's this long path that when at least 600 feet at a 25 degree angle I was flying down this hill having an absolute blast and darted right through the perimeters my mom had said my mom set these limits for a reason everything on the inside was close to houses and people the outside more specifically the place where the path I was on led to was barren I wrote along this path for ten minutes before I could only see some of the lights of the houses on the inside of the limits after 15 minutes of riding along this dirt path I hear singing it sounded about 30 maybe 40 feet in front of me I stopped writing to hear it better it was a woman's voice she was singing Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles but she wasn't singing the words just the melody of the vocals her voice was strange you know when you have phlegm in your throat and your voice gets scratchy that's what her voice sounded like I inch forward to try and see her I get close enough to see the silhouette of hair bouncing up and down like she was head banging I decided to get my flashlight out I'm thinking that maybe this person is in need of help or something or maybe this is an insane person and the light will scare them away so I take the flashlight out of my pocket I pointed at her and turn it on the moment the light hit her she stopped moving completely she was facing away from me she had disgusting hair that seemed to be sticking together in clumps some of her hair was ripped off too she was wearing a very oversized bright red hoodie I was almost too scared to move I think she was too I conjured up as much bravery as I could and said sorry in a very Boop's this is the wrong room kind of way she didn't respond I turned off the flashlight and put it back in my pocket just as I was turning my bike around she screams she screams in an awful awful high-pitched voice I damn near [ __ ] myself as I threw myself back onto my bike I hear her voice getting closer to me I book it as fast as I can I don't look behind me and I don't stop pedaling her screaming grew quieter and quieter until it dissolved into the howling of the wind number thirteen when I was about ten years old I lived on would--we Drive in the Fox Harbor apartments in Paducah Kentucky if you look up the address you will see some woods just to the north of the apartment complex my friends and I played in those woods every day after school and all day on the weekends through the few years I lived there we cleared a small area in the woods and created a fort from various things we got out from the dumpsters it was our own place that no one else knew about and it was awesome one day as we were walking to our fort off in the distance we saw a man walking through the woods he was walking parallel to us but in the opposite direction sort of like cars traveling on a road but with about 70 or 80 yards separating our paths we stopped talking and stopped dead in our tracks when we saw him we never saw anyone in the woods especially not adults when we stopped moving he did too he turned towards us and looked right at us as I stared at him and was able to make out details of what he looked like I noticed that he was wearing what looked like a Halloween mask a generic mask not Michael Myers or anything and he was carrying an axe in his hands we just stood there in silence motionless for what probably was about 10 seconds just him looking at us and us looking at him then he started sprinting stroy at us we did the only thing we apparently thought to do run straight towards our fort we were probably about 50 yards from the entrance to the fort and in those 50 yards he gained a lot of ground on us when we finally made it he was upon us all of my friends scurried up a tree and we were screaming but was the last in line by the time I could try and climb the tree he was standing right there by us he was screaming like a lunatic and waving the axe in the air I was scared I had no idea what was going on in my mind was blank on what I could do I grabbed a large stick and took a nice big baseball bat swing and cracked him on the face with it he stumbled back a bit moaned and then took the mask off I recognized the face it was the landlord and manager of the apartment complex a man who was about fifty years old he wanted to play a joke on us and thought this was the most appropriate thing to do he was a [ __ ] psycho number 12 when I was quite young I was out of the park walking my dog which is a German Shepherd by the way when I realized it was getting quite late and I was the only one left in the park a man dressed in a dark hooded top and a black scarf covering his face jumped the fence that leads into the alleyway behind the park and started marching towards me but he hadn't noticed my dog who was off sniffing around or doing whatever dogs do my dog got between us though and there was a kind of standoff for awhile my dog was really tense and growling with his hair raised and I didn't know what to do I didn't know if my dog was going to attack the man so I just kind of froze after a while the man backed away jumped back over the fence and ran away down the alley I put my dog back on his leash and went home but he was still tensed the whole way back I was a little freaked out but perhaps not as afraid as I should have been looking back on it now I didn't know what the man wanted or what he was doing there or what would have happened if my dog wasn't there with me there would have been no reason for him to go into that park by himself and come towards me like that I shudder when I think about it I think if the man had made a move towards me my dog would have attacked him number 11 my sister's bedroom was on the second floor all of a sudden she screamed and said she saw a hand on her window we thought she was having a nightmare so we told her to go back to bed the next morning we found a ladder up against our house by her window number 10 here is a very creepy thing that happened to me one winter I was pushing my limits in winter camping a lot but I had this crazy tent with a fireplace the limits part was just the fact that I was so low and pretty much a remote in these places this was rural Southwest Colorado Canyon country there wasn't that much snow at all on the ground but it was zero degrees Fahrenheit that night well it was a full moon and I was Restless so at about 2:00 a.m. I got out of my tent with my fire still going and went for a long walk I ended up climbing up some stuff that was probably a quarter or half mile from my tent and vehicle but up above it so I could see down on my tent in camps like clearly it was really beautiful down there dimly lit from the inside by the stoves fire and dimly lit from the outside by the big moon I was enjoying myself and just about to head back down when I heard distant gravel crunching I had been there since noon that day and not a single vehicle had driven past so I was kind of put off and decided to stay up there until they drove past the noise grows louder it's amazing how far away you can be heard in the canyons at night slowly and eventually I can see that it is a car on the same road so I stay put and watch it's going really slow I can see a lighter being used quite a bit now I'm not saying they were smoking meth but they were smoking meth and it's something like 89 Caprice or something like the old cop cars and really crappy so I'm just washing still in a very wistful mood and feeling somewhat powerful from my perch they near the bend where they'll be able to see my tent and round the corner brake lights they slow way down and seem to pause at my tent for an eternity probably only a minute or so but now I was on high alert this was pretty nerve-racking I had no kind of weapon on me at all just a hatchet down by the tent for firewood but they drive on I'm pretty relieved but still shaken now thinking about what if they come back so I decide to chill for a little longer and make sure I can see them exit nope they turned around down the road and came back I watched as they parked a ways down the road and got out and started walking down the road towards my camp it was such bright moonlight all around that I could see all this happening somewhat clearly but I couldn't make out much more than the basic scenes and there was still a lot of big shadows I proceeded to watch for quite a while as they approached my tent look all around the outside look the vents where it probably looked like I was sleeping the bag was in there with bedding and stuff mess with my vehicle and then walked back to their car and leave I pretty much stayed up there until just before dawn and only came down when I knew I could break camp and bail there were footprints in the snow on the outside of my tent and I kept imagining what it would have been like to have just woken up and not known what happened just see the footprints number nine when I was around twelve a neighbor had a party where I met a girl my age my mom was happy to see me making friends so we head to my house to play games my dog was a sweet lab who had never been angry or growled ever this girl walks up to him and pet him and he immediately growls and barks eventually cowards close to me I couldn't believe it but even by 12 I believed you just don't ignore a dog's intuition so I take note of the sign but we go play and then go for a walk not 10 minutes into the conversation and this girl is an obvious sociopath I realized what I and the dog had felt about her she was empty and fake in a very visceral way she starts talking about rape not enough maybe she was abused away it was like Ana doesn't that sound interesting but how did the logistics work kind away she specifically wondered how you raped someone while holding a knife to their neck her parents invited me to spend the night at her house I declined number I took my ex to Red Rocks one evening it's a natural amphitheater that is sometimes used for concerts just out of Denver if there isn't a concert going on it's just a park that you can run around it we got down to the stage without being bothered then we see the silhouette of some guy not far away he's creeping around trying to be quiet but I could make out his shape while my ex could hear him breathing we go up a few rows of steps and make a big circle around him to get to his steps the guy is following us we climbed the stairs looking back at him he would creep from the seats to the side of the wall he must have thought he was being stealthy and he followed us up like that we didn't let him know we knew he was there into the last few steps I had my ex run for it with the car keys while a half ran keeping myself between her and the guy at this point the guy is following us doing an ape-like impersonation by running with his hands on the ground and grunting when we get to the car he is hiding my ex unlocked the doors while I looked around we get in and the guy comes from behind another car as I started he beats on my windshield a few times yells something I don't understand it runs off he was probably on something pretty powerful number seven I'm a DJ in a local bar met many many weird and wonderful people in my time but one stands out in particular her name is Alice and she lives in her own Wonderland 24/7 don't get me wrong I'm sure she's harmless she's always happy and dances like she's auditioning for a new workout DVD but she's kind of the person you don't want to make eye contact with creepiest moment with Alice had to be one night I was working I had the headphones on doing what I do and was aware of someone standing to the right of me not dancing instantly got the feeling that you get when you know someone is staring at you you just have to look back so I did what I saw was Alice staring right at me with the strangest smile on her face I say smiled but it wasn't a nice look teeth and gums in full view with a crazy look in her eyes what the [ __ ] was my initial reaction stuck the headphones on again and continued what I was doing and Alice continued what she was doing - after a good couple minutes I removed the headphones and asked anything in particular I can help you with you want a request plate or something her reply will stay with me for the rest of my life no I'm good just showing you my teeth number six during my first year of college my brother who's 8 years older than me lived about two blocks up the street from where my dorm was this made it super easy to go over and hang out since we've always been close well this particular night a Thursday I think it was I decide to head home a little early and leave his place at about 11:00 I step outside onto the street and it is oddly empty I can only see one other person in sight and he's directly across the street from me he was making all sorts of weird guttural noises and wigging out but this being in the city I see that all the time so I just had left and think about putting in my headphones to listen to some music I'm goddamn glad I didn't because the noise from the guy suddenly stops after I walked about 10 feet the abrupt silence was unnerving and I looked back over at him he had stopped moving and was staring directly at me then he made a [ __ ] beeline across the street for me I picked up my pace and looked back once I reached the end of the block he was about 70 feet away now just hobbling and running like some kind of zombie so I freaked out and start running back to the dorms with him in hot pursuit and now he's making these slurping noises with his tongue and groaning as I near the door to the dorm I hope to god that my security card works on the first swipe as it never usually does I jumped the short four stairs and zipped my card as the guy is now about 25 maybe 30 feet away and still running the card reader flashes green and I grab the door rush inside and slam it back closed behind me a group of students are just about to go out of the door but I stop them and tell them to wait the guy comes all the way up to the door and paces for a little bit outside before his slinking back off into the darkness the thing about him that scared me the most was whenever I looked back or when he was at the door he had constant eye contact I never want to see that hungry look in someone's eyes again maybe he just wanted my gum number 5 my brother came into town on business and invited me to bar hop on his expense account I let my wife know not to wait up and met up with him once I got off work we spent the night going from bar to bar catching up on what I had been going on in our lives until the last bar closed maybe around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. then we stumbled back to his hotel room and passed out I woke up the next morning around 7 a.m. and went home my wife had already left so I didn't see her an hour or so later she called me and asked where I had gone so early that morning I was confused cuz I didn't get home until after she had left for work I explained this to her and she got really scared she explained that around 12:30 or 1:00 a.m. she heard a key in the front door in the door opening she sat up in bed and saw a male figure come in who she assumed was me and go into the living room she assumed that I had just decided to sleep on the couch rather than come into the room and risk waking her up so she just rolled over and went back to sleep a few hours later around 5:00 or 6:00 a.m. she heard someone moving around downstairs again and then the front door opened and she just watched the person leave and heard the door lock she thought I was heading out and just rolled back over to sleep again number four a couple years ago I had a nightshift job at a supermarket I usually got home at around 7 a.m. but on one night my manager let me go early at 4 a.m. I got home and found that the screen door to which I did not have a key to was locked it was kind of spooky being outside of that hour since my house is surrounded by dark woods I called my mom and she came downstairs and let me in she then proceeded to tell me that at about midnight my sister was downstairs alone watching TV with the lights on she had gotten up to get something and she heard what sounded like a quick knocking on the door she walked quietly to the door waited and heard the knocking again she ran upstairs and told my parents but my dad couldn't see anything outside about a month later on the local news we heard that two guys had been caught for a series of break-ins around our area and that they were knocking on doors in the middle of the night what creeped us all out was the fact that these guys had to have been looking into the room my sister was in from the darkness since the wall the TV is on is lined with 7-foot tall windows all the way down it still amazes me that my sister knowing I come home at weird hours didn't just open the door assuming it was me number three so this incident happened to my mom before she had me over 20 years ago she worked at a local pub the pub mainly catered for fishermen as the town is on the coast of Western Australia so she knew most of the people who would come in for drinks or for some food however every now and again people from town would come in she told me one guy used to come in and she'd known from house parties around the place and always wanted to talk to her while she was working and she would say sorry and just keep doing her thing one night she finished work at around midnight and walked home which was a few kilometres away she lived with a few housemates who were all guys all good friends when she got home from her shift she decided to have a shower making her way back to her room she realized her door was open which is normally shut all the guys were asleep so she blew it off his wind or something she laid down in bed to go to sleep but something didn't feel right and for a reason she can't explain to me she felt the need to look under her bed well she saw under the bed was the guy from the bar who had followed her all the way from her work she tells me that she just stared at him for ages and he didn't move he didn't even breathe to the point she thought he was dead she went out of the room calmly and went to one of the guys rooms to tell them that she had a dead guy under her bed they raced in with baseball bats to find the guy halfway out the window he managed to escape and run away the police were called and because they all knew who he was the cops picked him up the next day the thing that bothers me the most is what his intentions were with my mom that night [ __ ] got a fine it was never allowed back into town too soft in my opinion number two I was once going back to my dorm which is off campus by bus the bus doesn't go directly to my dorm so I have to walk a half mile to get home one day I was coming home late maybe 10:30 or 11:00 after hanging out with friends for the afternoon it was late fall so it was long dark by now I usually walk home with one of my dorm mates but she had decided to stay home that night so I was walking alone after dark and definitely not the safest city in the world I was a little under halfway there when I heard a scream from one of the back alleys I think it's just a raccoon fight or something as though sound much like human screams until I hear it again another scream definitely human I dropped my bag behind a trash can and take off running towards the scream I entered the alley to see a woman lying in the dirt she turns to look at me her face bloody didn't swollen she has a look of pure terror in her eyes her eyes widen and she glances behind me I catch a flash of new fresh fear in her eyes and she screams that he's right behind me without even thinking about it I grabbed the lid off the trash can next to me and swing around smashing the man at least six inches taller than me and 70 pounds heavier clean in the head he falls to the ground knocked out I see that an eight inch knife with a huge blade falls from his hand I called the cops and stage with the woman until they arrived I never saw either the man or the woman again I take a taxi at night now number one my name is Ned I am 33 soon to be 34 years old that I'm the only child of Ted Bundy survivor Carol to ranch her story takes place on November 8th 1974 in a Sears parking lot in Salt Lake City Utah she was out shopping when a man claiming to be a police officer approached her saying that her car was stolen he asked her to go with him in his car to the police station for questioning whilst they were driving the man handcuffed her and tried to kidnap her the problem was that the man now known as Ted Bundy had accidentally only cuffed one hand leaving her free to escape by jumping out of the car Ted frantically drove off unfortunately later
