I was watching that movie Jeepers Creepers and I was getting tired so I shut the T.V. off to go to bed. Well, while I was laying down I could hear my mom clicking through channels when she went past some station playing that "Jeepers Creepers" song. I was really freaked out because I heard some kind of jingling outside of my open window, when I looked out there was a guy staring up into my room standing under the street lamp wearing a long trench coat and a weird hat. He looked just like the guy from Jeepers Creepers. Needless to say I was scared out of my mind but no one else believed me..oh well I know it happened.

I live in a quiet neighborhood, so I was never worried about getting kidnapped or anything. Then, one day a little girl that I know was kidnapped. Once she was found I found out that the kidnapper lived right down the road from me!

One day I was alone in my house cuz my mom went out. I was just watching TV when i heard a car door slam. I crept over to the door to see who it was. It was a man. i did not recognize him so i ran to my room got my bat and a phone. i quickly muted the TV and then the doorbell rang. I didnt go to answer it. i thought he wood leave...NO he didnt! he was yelllin and bangin the door. now i was freaked! I called friends, my mom and the cops to tell them i was in danger. The cops eventually came. i heard the sirens so i guess that scared the guy off..but now everytime i am alone i check my driveway and make sure i am "loaded" or "stocked" with weapon(bat etc.)

mkay. me and my friend were babysitting my little sister. my parents weren't due home until late the next night. so, we were home alone the whole night. we kept hearing scratching on EVERY door and EVERY window. we shut all the blinds, ran in oneroom, and covered our ears. it kept getting louder..and louder until it was unbearable. then the doorbell rang. none of us had the guts to open the door. then we heard the door open..and someone coming upstairs. we quickly hid in the closet. we heard the doorknob turn and we awaited for someone to walk in and search for us. we waited and waited scared to death and then...no one came. i think an hour later we actually came out of the closet and everything wasnormal. nothing was changed or dropped around the house. nothing was missing. we stayed up all night because we were afraid to go to sleep. after that night, i will never stay home alone for a weekend again.

So, my siblings had all gone to visit my mother one night and would not be returning untill the previous morning, my father, who usually stayed home over night decided to stay at my step-mothers house that night as well. I did not think much of it, and figured i would just stay home and play video games and relax. So i got into game mode, turned the lights off, started playing F.E.A.R. probably not the best game choice when you are staying home alone at night in the and its pitch black in your house other than the light from the monitor. I start to hear really faint tap tap tap tap coming from the linen closet in the hall directly across from my room and dont think much of it, and just kind of close my door... then tapping eventually faded, but then i start to hear the sound of water running in the kitchen. so i walked out to make sure there was not a leak or something strange, when i got out into the hall way there was a big puddle of water in the hall way far away from the sink, at this point i was pretty freaked out so i didnt even bother to clean it up and i turned all the lights on in my house and went back in my room and locked the door. my room faces towards the front door of my house, so i can always see if people are coming to the door. since it was really late i had already closed my blinds, and i was sitting in my computer chair just kind of trying to forget waht happened and calm down. then i heard the sound of gravel grinding together, like the sound it makes when you step on it. right. outside. my.window. at this point i was terrorized and i had no idea what to do so i ran into the hall and turned on our alarm and checked all the locks. i stayed up untill about 4 am that night and after i turned the alarm on and locked the door nothing else happened.
