City: New York

I live in the city. One night i was walking home from a friend's house and i was almost home when i heard a loud scream from a house down the street. I stopped to see if i could hear anything else. Nothing. I continued walking and heard two more back-to-back. this scared me. i started running and breathing heavily. I felt like someone was following me so i looked back, no one. this old guy came out of his house and yelled what r u running for? cmon inside. I ran faster and faster until finally i ran into another person and fell down. this scared me to death cuz i didnt see him. he was wearing all black, i ran into my house, locked all the doors. i told my dad but he thought i was lying. the next day on the front page of the new york times there was a photo of a man and it read 'notorious killer found'

City: Private

Well one night i was out walking with a couple of friends when we all suddenly stopped and asked "do you feel like someone is watching us?" we all said yes but then kept walking. I started hearing footsteps that i didnt hear before and i looked back, no one was there. We all started getting freaked out and ran inside. The next day on the local news we heard of a stalker that was living in our neighborhood.

One day in January,last year, my whole family went to this get together,and i didnt feel like going so i stayed home. I was watching some Jay Leno and i heard a knock at the doorand my dog was barking her head off. And these were some really heavy knocking. I thought it was my parents, but my parents called 30 min before saying they will be home around 1. So I took my sword that I had in my room, and walked upstairs. When i walked upstairs, i saw someone running away from my house. This creeped the crap out of me, but i was glad i came upstairs with my knife. Never knew who it was and he never came back

City: Louisville

So there was one time I was home alone, but it was about 6, so it was still light out. I was bored, so I was just walking around my house. And I walked past my basement door. But I'm REALLY scared of my basement. I REFUSE to be down there alone for more than 1 min. Because I always here noises down there. And I thought I saw this shadow, going down the steps. So I started freaking out, and I ran around looking for my dog. He's lazy and fat, but I always feel safe when he's around. So I ran around, and when I came to the basement door, I saw him running around the house. So I chased him, and never caught him. Then I went up in my parents room, and it turns out, I scared him by popping in and waking him up.

Ok, this is really hard to talk about, seeing that i'm all by myself. But i live next to this horrid motel,the cops are there every night and its really creepy. And i'm sure that one night i saw a tall white man carrying a body in a sack. Then the cops and ambulence came and arrested him. The guy glanced at me right before the cops came. He gave me a face i'll never forget. I've never told anyone, except for now. Now you know my story. Wit much love, Tanner
