3 Disturbing TRUE Horror Stories (Viewer Submissions III) (1)

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Was out, and Parker and I went to the back
of his house. And my ad has no fencing, and
neither did any of his neighbors, so we could see
all of their back yards. Parker got a bad feeling
and got scared and ran to his parents, but I
was a rebellious child. I stayed. About five minutes later,

(00:21):
I look up and saw a man and one of
the neighbor's yards crouched over. It was dark, but from
what the moon let me see, he was wearing a
dark hoodie and jeans. What struck me as really odd
was his orange goggles, and he had something covering his mouth.
It looked like a bandana. He looked to be in

(00:42):
his late teens, but I'm not sure. I screamed at
a pure shock, and he snapped his head towards me
and then started to run at me. I turned around, screaming,
running towards Parker and both of our families. I told
them everything, but they blew it off as my imagination.
Parker went back there with me and the man was gone.

(01:05):
Later that night, I was in my kitchen drinking some
water and spinning in my chair, when all of a
sudden I hear it tapping at the window. It was
a slow, rhythmic tapping, like someone was trying to scare me.
I looked at the window and took off, running to
my parents room and stayed there until they made me

(01:25):
go back to bed in my room, which at the
time I shared with my sister, who was two years
younger than me. It was around midnight and I just
couldn't sleep. My bed is right next to the window
of the room, so I decided to look out the window,
and the moment I did, I saw a man cross
the street with his hood casting a shadow over his

(01:47):
face so I couldn't see it. I stared for a
good minute. When I looked away for a split second,
he disappeared. I was so creeped out, and I decided
I would make me feel better, so I went down
into the kitchen and started eating some ice cream, and
I started hearing tapping at the window again. I brushed

(02:10):
it off as my paranoia making me hear things. Fast
forward two years later and I have my own room
by now, and nothing has happened for a while, when
all of a sudden, every night I hear her loud
tapping at my window and I look to see if
anyone is there nothing. This goes on for three months,

(02:35):
and one night I'm working on my homework, I look
out the window and see the same man with the
orange goggles looking at me. He runs off after he
noticed I saw him. To this day, I still haven't
said anything to my family because they would call me
possessed or crazy. But I still see that same man

(02:57):
with the orange goggles around. It absolutely terrifies me, and
I'm still having a hard time sleeping. Hopefully he leaves
me alone. There's no place like home, right well, that

(03:17):
depends on who you share your accommodation with. Sometimes we
complain about housemates that don't wash their dishes or leave
a mess in the communal space. My case was a
bit different. I live with someone that's a bit more
extreme than a lazy person. His name is James. At

(03:38):
the time, he was thirty two years old, a fatty,
bald guy who used to smell of pepperoni pizza. He's
been eating pepperoni pizza for months, the cheap frozen quality
in packs of three. Sometimes he would eat three pizzas
one after another, never brushing his teeth. In fact, you

(03:58):
could smell his breath from across living room. He was
a brilliant jazz pianist and it was really cool jamming
with him. Sometimes I play guitar. The fun part was
only in the music, playing nothing else, as his head
was often above the clouds. There was a time where
here in England magic mushrooms were legal in places like

(04:22):
Camden Town, London. You'd have been able to buy them
almost everywhere. Even if they say magic mushrooms are safe.
Any drug abuse leased to some sort of dementia. At
the end. Our house is a bit away from transports
and shops, so that most of the people who rented
a room didn't stay for too long, just for the

(04:44):
time being until they would find a better place. Also,
the house was a bit old and smelly. However, this
wasn't the only problem. James was so annoying. It would
constantly ask to borrow money from the tenants and leave
a mess everywhere around the house. I learned how to
deal with him. If he would ask for money, I

(05:06):
would say later, I'm going to the shop. I'll pop
by the cash machine and get something. Then I would
pretend to forget and find similar excuses to avoid just
saying no. The rent was very cheap, and I would
ride my bicycle everywhere I needed to go, so the
location of the house wasn't really a problem for me.

(05:28):
Things started to take the wrong turn when a couple
of girls moved into the house. He would walk around
the house naked, just covered by a towel and accidentally
drop it. Whenever he would meet them, he would just smile.
The first time it happened, I laughed it off, seeing

(05:50):
the face of the girl totally embarrassed in front of
this round
