What's your creepy neighbor story? (r/AskReddit)

[Music] our /as credit posted by user or leus what's your creepy neighbors story mine is ongoing we have relatively new three to four years neighbors who live behind us I've never met the wife or even seen her the husband is late 50s early 60s and looks creepy as [ __ ] thin long white hair about thirty pounds overweight and always wears a retro Bulls jacket and slacks every single morning I go to work he's walking his dog every day I get home he's doing the same he oftentimes walks right along the property line between our houses and stares into our bay window one day me and my brother and his two little kids were sitting on the front porch getting ready to walk to the park to play basketball when he walked up and started talking to them asking weird questions and generally giving off creeped ass vibes me and my brother asked him a few times what his dog's name was and he seemed caught off guard and never answered us always dodged the question and kept talking to my niece and nephew he looks like a textbook serial killer my mom lays in the backyard all the time in the summer tanning wearing a bikini and she has caught him staring at her before through a gap in the bushes that separate our properties on the eastern side our workout room has a door to that backyard and I commonly hit my bowl a few times right outside the door and one night I went out for a few hits and heard creepy ass whistling it was especially creepy BC it was raining virtually no visibility and it was so close so [ __ ] sketchy I slammed the door and locked it and checked the doors after that I didn't if he's just a weird old man or if he's actually not mentally there but the dude is so weird oh and I just remembered another thing when I'm driving past when he's walking his dog he stares at me until I'm out of view the entire time every single time I know this BC I checked my mirrors to see if he's still staring and yep WTF dude I bought my house as a foreclosure through hunt almost 20 years ago when I moved in the guy across the street came over to introduce himself he seemed okay at first but after a few times talking with him he stated that he and another neighbor had mowed my house's yard before I bought it he hinted around that I should pay him back with sex for keeping the yard mowed I told him that if he needed payment he could contact HUD after that encounter I made sure to figure out if he was at home before I mow the front yard and refused to even walk down to check my mailbox if I saw him outside I would only spend time outside in my back yard I was really happy when he moved out a year later now if I could just get rid of the [ __ ] who lives in the house next to mine I'd be good not sure if this qualifies but little background here we live in a nice new oldest house is like 10 years old solidly middle-class Midwest us boring neighborhood of the 150 plus homes here everyone's nice to each other except one family naturally my neighbors I could go on and on with years worth of bad neighbor stories like stealing our electricity or mowing the lawn at 1:00 a.m. or their kids smashing in our mailbox right in front of me but this is a creepy thread so when they were finally evicted these crackheads who had been without basic utilities for months in the summer left behind the most awful scene I thought I'd ever see inside the house they had not only torn out every wall looking for copper wiring had stripped every fixture sold every appliance but they'd also stopped using the bathroom there were feces everywhere but that's not the worst of it one of the police officers and I were friendly with each other and since we'd called the cops about a dozen times against these people he let me take a look inside the stench was nearly overpowering you see in the hallways in closets in the basement were the corpses of countless small animals these people bred dogs for a while and so that's what we assumed were these poor dogs rotting carcasses literally everywhere how people live like that I'll never know math I guess okay so there used to be this creepy guy who lived above us in our apartment building he built robots and claimed he was a genius he left the robots essentially cameras on wheels on the landing of the staircase pointed towards the opposite entrance door also left them outside our window and a couple times I saw a flash I thought it was lightning but no robots taking pictures complained to management they can't do anything b/c it's his hobby and they can't tell him he's not allowed to do his hobby he was always going on about how he was charged more BC he's black when really has charged more BC his apartment has a balcony he was very paranoid and had a bunch of wild conspiracy theories about the way our complex was run oh yeah and has a pedophile and a rapist the woman across the hall from us told us how he touched her young daughter inappropriately and tried to pick her up while holding her but she's like nine years old he saw the woman drop her keys outside cameras went and grabbed them and then held on to them for a couple days so that he could offer to help her out by giving her rides then got her mother to let him into her apartment stuck the keys under a chair and left he also tried to force himself into her apartment a couple times and onto her he would always ask about which bedroom was hers robots cameras he kept a camera running in his vehicle at all times how he saw her drop her keys he also told my boyfriend and I that he had this camera pointed at the building so he could see whoever came in the building we had a guy break into our laundry room and get all the money from the machines he used this as an excuse to have the camera it would always be pointed to one of two specific windows of our building if not at the door and neither was his window told management they can't tell him what he can have in his car and also he said he wasn't recording a lie so Therese nothing they can do oh yeah his girlfriend has a teen daughter who will not be around him I saw her sitting on the stairs once and she heard him coming and [ __ ] booked it out of the building she doesn't live with them for I assume her own safety it all came to a head when we had to get sprayed for bugs if you didn't prep your apartment how they needed it they were going to charge you for the visit well he didn't prep anything and there were a few other people who didn't either and they all ended up getting evicted turned out the guy put locks on the doors inside his apartment so they couldn't get in anywhere but he of course claimed they were just trying to get rid of all the black people in the complex not true like 80% of the people here are black and they had good reason to kick him specifically out I'm so happy he's gone it's so much nicer here without him our High School assistant principal used to live across the street from us really nice family Pleasant house complete with in-ground pool and a two-car garage with decades of old Playboy's stacked neatly in the corner they eventually moved new neighbors then moved in and slowly turned a great small town residence into what is likely a drug den the garage door rotted clean off and they replaced it with a tarp forever they filled in the in-ground pool dilapidated cars began showing up on the front lawn police make a couple home visits per year one time forcing the neighbor to move most of his lawn cars to the back yard the few times my mom interacts with the neighbor the discussion is laced with paranoia and reassurances that nothing's wrong every time I go back home I'm just waiting for the place to have burnt to the ground I mean I hope it doesn't but the downward spiral has been so pronounced for so long that it honestly almost feels inevitable that things are going to end up hitting a crescendo and dramatic and potentially depressing fashion not that creepy but still kind of strange back when I attended university I had this typical foreveralone virgin neighbor at the 3rd floor I woke up to the doorbell the other night but being still sleepy I took my time to answer the door by the time I reached the door he already had woken up the entire house I then expected it to be something like an emergency so adrenaline took over and I was awake pretty fast I took a knife from the kitchen with me in case I needed to defend myself as I didn't know what's the matter so I opened my door and my neighbor is standing in the hallway all naked his clothes lying on the floor and his door closed he turns around notices the knife in my hand I looked down realize this guy's naked his eyes widen he apologizes to have wakened me up then walks down the stairs I half-heartedly ask if he is in need of help but he doesn't answer meanwhile some guy asked called emergency so I go back to bed after this night I didn't see him again ever he was still living on the same floor but managed to avoid crossing ways with me until I moved out two years later not necessarily a neighbor story but happened when I was at a friend's house a couple blocks from mine I was about 16 at the time me and a few friends were hanging outside a school just down the street from where he lived it was around 11 p.m. and we were sitting underneath the streetlight in the school's parking lot a few kids about 10 or 11 years old accompanied by a kid about our age passed the school probably 40 feet from where we were we didn't think much of it but it was kind of strange to see at 11:00 at night we just went back to what we were doing about five minutes passed by and a group of four or five guys about 18 or so are running past they slowed down and one of them yells over to us and asks if we've seen a group of kids nearby we just answered with a quick no and went back to what we were doing they walked over to the school's sign which was about 80 feet from us there they stood just acting like they were hanging out we didn't think much of it but after a while we started heading back to his house we noticed that they were looking at us as we were crossing the street we hurried and got back to his house we were kind of weirded out by it so we thought we should probably just lock up the house we were all hanging out in his living room about two minutes after we got back his front door starts shaking and the doorknob was moving we all looked at each other like is this really happening then there was banging on the door I peeked out through the window onto the porch sure enough there was one of those guys from earlier standing there ramming into the door we had no idea where his friends were but we all grabbed things to defend ourselves just in case any of them were to get in one of my friends went into his kitchen to check his patio door the guy at the front door ran off the porch we went into the kitchen thinking maybe he was going to try the back of the house it was just a glass sliding door after all we waited and waited for nothing he left I have no idea what the guy's intentions were if he would have got in who he was nor why he followed us back and why none of his friends seemed to be with him but thankfully none of them ever came back but it was one heck of an experience we lived in a very white trash trailer park a neighbor man that lived in a trailer across the street had a trashcan fire pit and somehow convinced six-year-old me to sit with him and talk with him until after dark while he drank at the fire pit when I got up to leave he begged me to stay and I told him I was going to check in and come back ran home and stayed in the house a lot for the rest of the time we lived there he turned out to be murderer killed the dude next door for screwing his wife and hid the hammer under his kitchen sink my brother left me in his BFFs basement with his BFFs creepy dad for half an hour when I was four I remember sitting in the floor very uncomfortable and had what I now know as red flags screaming to watch him the man sat there and talked to me about how he was in love with my mom and how much I looked like her I was so [ __ ] scared I didn't know what rape or anything was at that time but I knew that I had to keep my guard up because I got the vibe that he'd hurt me at the same trailer park as the first story now that I remember actually I went to stay the night with a friend it was me and the guy from the first story a 16 year old daughter she was special-needs had the mind of someone that was our age when we got there the girl we were staying with explained to us that her dad had just gotten out of prison for raping her 12 year-old cousin then I met the dude and alarms began absolutely screaming and he stared very uncomfortably at the special-needs girl sat in the corner of her bed and watched the door all night while the other two girls slept I'm scared to let my daughter stay the night with people now I had my first relationship just budding and the creepy neighbor was between 50 and 60 and walked around the neighborhood to kill time and get out of the house he lived in a small cabin on a property with a bigger house that was a rent a room situation we'd small talked meeting me and my family members had small run-ins with him where we just were polite and let him go his own way shortly after my so at the time had visited a few times he'd walked by and say that their car was shitty and then eventually tried to engage me in conversations about how I and his daughter had the same name and how he made more money than my so even after one morning where he straight up walked into our house in the middle of the day and he was told by my stepdad that we have firearms not to waltz into our home because he could have been shot my mom still chided me for not caring about him having health issues and dying shortly after in her mind he was so messed up that it gave him the past to be a creep I have to I don't remember the details because I was pretty young like five or six maybe but there was this one apartment that was practically hidden by trees and for some reason I remember often going over to stand below this specific apartment facing the balcony that was believed to have a grown man in it who lived with his mother like I said I was a kid then but I think some of the other kids I played with were afraid of that apartment for some reason because kids are kids and imaginations are wild but I decided to keep going back to that one apartment that everyone was terrified of and I think I may have seen the guy who lived there at one point and waved but I don't know if he ever waved back the second one is more scarier and if this neighbor was living in the same complex as me from the time my friends and I were in our teens this complex had a crazy amount of Russian families and while I made friends with some my friends and I made enemies with others and one of those enemies was a middle-aged Russian male who terrified the [ __ ] out of us because every time we'd see him walking around he'd always changed his path and walked towards us and then my friends and I would be on the run to avoid him he'd go to the end of the complex were sitting and talking on we'd get up and run TF in the opposite direction he'd always smile too every time he walked toward us and we felt we had to move there was a time when it was the man and some Russian boy our age that would try to help him block us off which was even more horrifying I didn't really talk to him but I'm pretty sure he murdered his wife and two-year-old daughter when I met the wife I was maybe 10 or so ayah went up to her because he dog was with her on a walk with her and her kid and I have a soft spot for dogs she was really sweet the husband however was kinda sketchy he had a very expensive car I'm pretty sure he was a drug lord but idk the only thing he would do was drive her wash his car my friend also neighbor and I were playing outside around mid June and he started to pull out of his driveway my friend jokingly yelled out why do you drive around so much he replied because driving is the only thing to do in this piece of s town and he sped off but not before flicking us off a couple of months later the police started knocking on the door they asked to see an adult so I went and got my mom and they asked if she knew anything about the neighbors they said that he and the wife had supposedly gotten divorced and asked if we knew the whereabouts of his wife / kid we said no of course and the told us that apparently the wife ran away and they couldn't track down the daughter the only thing we knew about the wife is that she had a two-year-old was maybe pregnant they had a baby shower at their house at some point and that she drove a white Jeep a couple months later mister maybe murder at his Wafi and kids was cleaning his car and my mom and I were leaving for a chiropractor appointment my mom noticed the white Jeep in the garage if the wife had run off then we would have taken the Jeep the dude saw that my mom had noticed the Jeep and a couple days later he sold the white Jeep at one point we had gotten a package for them delivered to our house for him house - we went to return it his house smelled like pot and death and we saw a gun on the dining room table we nope done out of there and he later moved away I really hope that it was a misunderstanding or something and that the wife took the kid and ran as far as she could two houses down from mine as a kid lived my great-grandfather he was in his 70s my mom always told me not to go over there but when I asked why she'd say just don't he never showed up at any family gatherings and I didn't know why until after he died a few years ago turns out he had once molested my mother when she was young six years old I think and nothing was ever done about it he also grew marijuana behind his house until my dad found out and called the cops after the old man got out of jail I think he tried to again because the only other kid in my neighborhood lived on three other side and said he saw him spreading seeds out I didn't tell my dad about it because I had no idea what it wasn't I thought well who cares what kind of plants he grows he had also screwed with my parents when my mom was pregnant with me I was born in July so she was at her pregnancy as through the summer if you didn't know pregnant women get hot easily my dad would do things like leave a couple of sprinklers on the roof to help keep the house cool and she would have a cool bath in the middle of the day while dad was at work we lived in the country so the water came from a well which was shared by my parents my grandmother next door and my great grandfather the actual well was on the old man's property and he started going out back and cutting off our water my dad would confront him but then he just started cutting it off after my dad left for work and cutting it back on right before he'd get home until finally one night that dug a hole and replaced the section of pipe that had the cutoff valve with a section that didn't have a valve he died in his 90s from a disc as his back popping out as he bent over to put another chunk of firewood in his wood heater he spent some time in the hospital before he passed on one or two years later his house burned down due to something about an electrical outlet at least the property wasn't worth much decades old for room house living room kitchen bedroom in a bathroom not sure why his home was still powered when no one lived there for at least a year [Music]
