True Scary Story #2: Man In the Window
So I’m really freaked out right now. A little background I’m in my late thirties and I live in a home with my brother (works in personal security ) and my fiancée. I always feel really safe because my brother is home at nights and he is armed to the teeth and we have a Pitt bull who is very protective of us. So my brother recently took a temporary high clearance security job in Arizona so he’s being put up in a hotel out there. Before he left he showed my fiancée Rob and I how to operate one of his guns just in case.we live in one of the safest towns in America, nothing bad hardly happens it’s like Mayberry. But with all this recent clown bs and the increase of drugs it’s better to be safe than sorry.
So this begins two nights ago, my fiancée goes to bed early because he has to be up by 5 o’clock most mornings for work. So we are in bed me him and the dog I have my headphones on and I’m watching something on my tablet. Just an FYI I snore, bad, so my poor fiancé wears ear plugs. Around eleven thirty my dog jolts out of a sound sleep and starts growling.
She goes over to the window in our bed room and starts growling louder so I get up to check. I look outside and there’s a man staring at me, he’s skinny and old. Grizzled grey hair, unkempt beard, vacant eyes. He looks at me and smiles and I about lost it, now my dog is straight up foaming at the mouth and barking.
This finally wakes up my fiancé and he comes over to see what’s going on. The man sees I’m not alone and takes off. We called the cops they show up and they start looking around, they find the guys backpack. He has a notebook with my name my address, and a diagram of my freaking house. They find beef jerky, sleeping pills (I guess for my dog) scissors, twine, electrical tape, condoms and a rusted knife. They told me that they will be on the lookout for him but I’m really freaked out. So old man let’s never meet again.
The premise of this true scary story is not that unusual which makes it that more scary as anyone can picture this happening to them. The part that makes it real for the reader is that the man had his equipment with him. The condoms in there adding to the mystery certainly.
True Scary Story #3: My Father Was Chased By a Killer
This is my father’s story. As a child my father was a paper boy and he would get up very early in the morning to deliver them. My father would always end up with a few extra papers so at the end of his route he would offer papers to other early birds leaving for work and whatnot.
On this day my father offered a man who was sitting a parked van. The man just stared at my dad and didn’t respond so my dad just went on his way. As my dad was walking away he heard a car door open and the sound of feet hitting pavement. He turned around and saw the man running after him. My dad was very athletic in his day. He played basketball and baseball. So he took off running.
The man chased him for a bit but my dad knew the neighborhood like the back of his hand and cut through backyards and hopped fences. He eventually lost the man and got home safely. He didn’t tell his parents because he figured they would make him quit.
A few weeks passed by and two local boys went missing and their bodies were found at a campground. They were raped and then shot in the head. The man who committed the awful crime was William J. Wright. When my father saw him in the newspapers he recognized him as the man who chased him.
The original poster of this true scary story posted the article to back up his information. It’s quite trippy thinking how he wouldn’t have existed if his father didn’t run like hell on that day.
