0:12
wish I could have figured out what that
0:14
was all about, but during every interaction me
0:16
my brother had with him that day and
0:18
night he never spoke a word. Pretty
0:21
fucking creepy. Like
0:24
some nights that watched and
0:26
followed feeling is more like
0:29
a burning hatred directed towards
0:31
my existence. like being stopped
0:33
by an enemy or predator.
0:37
We ended up calling the police to report
0:39
this guy, but they kind of, point blank
0:41
said they wouldn't really do anything unless we
0:43
got hurt. From

of Horror, bizarre happenings,
0:51
unexplainable events. This
0:54
is just. Hello
1:18
and welcome back to the podcast.
1:20
This week we're bringing new three
1:22
true stories that will frighten and
1:24
disturb. So sit back, listen close,
1:27
and dive into the whore. Our
1:30
first story was narrated by the
1:32
talented Gregory James and comes to
1:35
us from Reddit user fan dog
1:37
Nineteen Eighty Nine, a strange visitor
1:39
at two am. Quip.
1:43
Bit of backstory: Me thirty two years old,
1:45
my brother, twenty eight years old, and or
1:48
disabled mom all live together in a trailer
1:50
about thirty minutes from Nashville. I was wary
1:52
about moving there for the stereotypes you may
1:54
hear about trailer parks, but luckily we've had
1:57
zero issues in the ten years we've been
1:59
here. Grenade Neighbors well kept yards.
2:01
You get the idea. So.
2:04
About a week ago, we are finally
2:06
putting up our Christmas tree, drinking probably
2:08
too much beer, listening to Christmas music,
2:10
and the Christmas spirit was in full
2:12
swing. During. Our random banter
2:14
my brother says oh yes I simply by
2:16
forgot to tell you. Earlier
2:18
today at work, the owner had to
2:20
kick out some guy who was acting
2:22
super creepy. My. Brother works as
2:24
a stocker at a local family or market
2:26
about a mile from our home. He went
2:28
on and tell me that this younger looking
2:30
guy was pacing the aisles, sometimes standing still
2:32
for like minutes at a time and not
2:35
responding when the owner would ask if needed
2:37
help finding something. After about twenty minutes
2:39
it is. The owner asked him to please
2:41
leave because he was scaring the customers. Ends
2:43
without a word he just left. We.
2:46
Continue or good time hanging ornaments drinking.
2:48
Getting our mom involves is with the
2:50
ornaments nut the drinking of course and
2:53
all is good. We. Wrap up
2:55
around ten thirty pm, help our mom to bed
2:57
from a wheelchair and decide we might as well
2:59
finish off the ton of beer we have left
3:01
and admirer. Death Doubt Free. At
3:04
eleven thirty we decided to go out on the front
3:06
porch to share cigarette as we usually do when we
3:08
tied on a good buzz. My. Brother
3:10
opens the door and almost
3:12
immediately closest. I ask
3:14
what's up. He says. Holy
3:17
Shit. The guy I was telling you
3:19
about to like Michael Myers walk down
3:21
the street past our house. I
3:24
thought that was pretty strange, but wasn't
3:26
super concerned. We waited for
3:28
a few minutes and then when I smoked
3:30
as usual before going back inside. My brother
3:32
and I aren't troublemakers and all, but I'm
3:34
pretty confident in our ability to defend ourselves
3:36
if we had to. At this
3:39
point visa just thoughts and the back of
3:41
my mind know after all hadn't seen this
3:43
guy yet. Fast forward
3:45
to about two am. were more than drunk
3:47
enough to go ahead and call it a
3:49
night after one more sick. My brother opens
3:52
the door and within seconds I hear him
3:54
say what, whoa, hey man, you got a
3:56
buddy what's up you good. I'm
3:59
in the kitchen at the. time, but quickly decided that
4:01
this did not sound right. And I rushed over to
4:03
the door. What I see
4:05
when I get to the open door is a
4:07
younger man standing on our deck about three feet
4:09
from our front door. He's pretty
4:11
tall, about six four. And I noticed
4:13
he looks a lot like Adam Driver,
4:15
which was a detail my brother jokingly
4:18
mentioned earlier during tree time. I'm
4:20
realizing for the first time, this
4:22
must be the guy he's been talking about. One
4:25
thing my brother must have not gotten close enough
4:27
to notice that worked though was this
4:30
guy's eyes. I'm
4:32
not exaggerating when I say I've never seen
4:34
anything like it. His body
4:36
language wasn't super menacing, but his
4:39
eyes were the strangest combination of
4:41
wide eyed bewilderment and fury like
4:43
us opening our front door confused
4:45
him and also made him very,
4:48
very angry. I joined
4:50
my brother and explaining to him that it's late and
4:52
he should head home. After what I'd
4:54
say was about 30 seconds of staring.
4:57
He just walked off without a word.
5:00
I peeked out of the blinds to make sure he
5:02
really left and saw nothing. We
5:04
both tried to laugh it off saying things like,
5:06
well, it was pretty weird, huh? But
5:09
it took a while for my adrenaline to taper off.
5:12
The thing I kept thinking to myself that
5:14
was bothering me was those 30 seconds
5:16
to me. It felt like he
5:19
was the one deciding what the next move would be.
5:22
But what that could have been, I have
5:24
no idea. I also didn't love
5:26
that my brother said that when he opened the
5:28
door, he was already standing
5:30
there. So for how
5:32
long? We calm down
5:34
watching YouTube videos and after another 30 minutes
5:37
or so I say to my brother, okay,
5:39
man, let's just go to bed. I'll
5:41
take one more look outside to be safe. I
5:44
felt like it wasn't really necessary, but
5:46
I opened the door and he's back again.
5:50
The streetlights are spaced very far apart in our
5:52
trailer park, but at the edge of our driveway
5:55
there I see his silhouette probably 50
5:57
feet away again, just staring.
6:00
And our front door. I. Feel
6:02
I should mention that he's not. They're testing
6:04
on the phone with someone. He's just. They
6:07
are. I feel bad
6:09
in hindsight because I'm sure this poor
6:11
guy definitely has mental health issues, but
6:13
between being drunk and exhausted and the
6:16
look he gave us earlier, I was
6:18
over it. I finally put
6:20
some place in my voice and said hey man.
6:23
You kids are in our driveway been
6:25
creepy dude. Just please leave a really
6:27
don't want to the cops on use
6:29
of don't make me. This
6:32
seem to work. His demeanor didn't
6:34
change at all, but the worst cops seemed
6:36
to do the trick. He turned around and
6:38
walked away. I hope we
6:40
handled it well. I understand and empathize
6:43
with people with mental health problems and
6:45
have friends and family who unfortunately suffer
6:47
from those things. However, I
6:49
still can't shake the feeling that something
6:51
bad could have happened that night. He
6:54
didn't finals leave our ports earlier that night
6:56
until I showed up to the door, essentially
6:58
making him out numbered. And even then he
7:00
still came back after. I
7:03
hope he's okay out there. We haven't
7:05
seen him since. I also hope
7:07
not calling the police wasn't a bad
7:09
choice. Next.
7:14
We hear a story from Reddit
7:17
user toast Head narrated by Seats
7:19
Are Brazil. We're. Nearly driven
7:21
mad by the spirits of the
7:23
dead. For.
7:26
Context. I am highly skeptical,
7:28
but no stranger to the
7:30
paranormal, I'm the type that
7:32
police demons exist, but most
7:34
ghost stories are overreactions, have
7:36
easily explained phenomena, or simply
7:38
holsters. About three months ago
7:40
I started working security for
7:42
hotel that was built back
7:44
in the nineteen twenties by
7:46
a major hotel chain, has
7:48
changed hands multiple times and
7:51
is now owned by one
7:53
of the biggest hotel chains.
7:55
I'm not saying which so the company can
7:57
sue me. Now. From what I've
8:00
been, the old paranormal activity is not
8:02
a common occurrence in the hotel. But.
8:05
Some years back to Make a
8:07
Wish Foundation started sending some children
8:09
here. Because. Well, it's
8:11
a major resort at one of the
8:14
most popular beaches and east coast. Why
8:16
wouldn't they. However, the
8:18
hotel was not informed of this
8:20
and didn't realize what was happening
8:22
until several children died in their
8:25
rooms over the course of a
8:27
few weeks. Supposedly on why is
8:29
it nice you can hear children
8:31
playing with a ball in the
8:34
North Tower ballrooms at night. For
8:36
years guests complained of children playing
8:38
ball loudly next to their rooms,
8:40
even and when security would check.
8:43
There. Would be no one there. This
8:45
has not happened in a while,
8:47
but going into the story you
8:49
should understand that my opinion on
8:52
the cause of what I've seen
8:54
may be warped by being told
8:56
the story. Now. Average
8:58
shifts. We do a floor check. Especially
9:00
a night shift when I work. At.
9:03
First, I never noticed anything
9:05
strange. I did a little
9:07
creeped out by the point of the floors
9:10
at night, but nothing supernatural. The.
9:12
Hotel has to separate towers separated
9:14
by a restaurant and sleeping area
9:16
that connects them. About
9:19
a month into the job and
9:21
suddenly I started feeling like something
9:23
was following me on my floor
9:25
checks especially in the south tower
9:28
which is the biggest and tallest
9:30
and where I understand both jumpers
9:32
jews because all the rooms facing
9:34
the ocean, that sliding glass doors
9:37
with a short railing and front
9:39
and you can put the rest
9:41
together from there. Anyway,
9:44
It got really bad in
9:46
October. Maybe the spooky season
9:48
had an effect on me,
9:51
but this feeling of being
9:53
watched and followed never went
9:55
away. As the weeks have
9:57
gone on, I started seeing
9:59
distorted. This is in windows as
10:01
I passed by. The
10:03
point: I'm no longer looked at them. The
10:06
floor pattern sometimes reflects on the glass
10:09
and the mind could easily make a
10:11
face with the pattern, but some of
10:13
these faces were up further on the
10:16
glass where it is wouldn't have been
10:18
possible. When. I focus up
10:20
there. Sometimes I can almost hear whispers
10:22
in the back of my mind. Urging
10:26
me to commit suicide or lambasting
10:28
the for the mistakes of made
10:30
or even telling me and securities
10:33
I have about myself. I've never
10:35
told anyone about. And.
10:37
The last few weeks some strange
10:39
physical and auditory phenomena have occurred.
10:42
Part. Of what we do on floor
10:44
attacks as closed doors we find open.
10:47
And. Some of the doors late
10:49
be have been more difficult to
10:52
close. One. In particular I
10:54
had to use all my strength
10:56
to slam shut the ice machines
10:58
and each floor sometimes make a
11:00
banking noise while an operation so
11:02
I use of the attribute any
11:05
noise I hear from the ending
11:07
area to that but sometimes it's
11:09
almost as sounded like something was
11:11
rummaging in the garbage cans and
11:13
when I go to investigate I
11:15
told my kids so they wouldn't
11:17
jingle and case it was a
11:19
person. And as soon
11:21
as I do, the rummaging
11:23
noise will stop. On a
11:25
couple of occasions I felt
11:28
what I can only describe
11:30
as hands hatching me while
11:32
closing certain doors. Sometimes just
11:34
a tickle. And other times
11:36
a brush against the back of my
11:38
hand. And even a ceiling
11:40
like someone on the other side of the
11:42
door is pulling it in the opposite direction.
11:46
I. Now dread the floor
11:48
checks, especially after three am.
11:51
I'm not trying to make the
11:53
seeing scarier than it is, but
11:55
these things intensify the closer it
11:57
gets to that. our whatever the
12:00
are. They aren't friendly and I
12:02
think they know like is sensitive.
12:04
The really don't like that. I
12:06
can sense that. You're
12:12
listening to Disturbed. Will be
12:15
right back. Welcome
12:24
Nexus. Finally
12:27
we have a story from
12:30
Reddit user Flowers Flowers to
12:32
Hinted telling us a terrifying
12:34
experience with a arranged man
12:36
marrying by Elizabeth See. This.
12:43
Happens in Twenty Twenty One. So still
12:45
in the midst of cool that I
12:47
totally forgot about this happening until I
12:49
found a similar story. Essentially,
12:51
two years ago, during covered nineteen, a
12:53
group of my friends and I wanted
12:55
to all live with each other while
12:57
we were doing remote learning at University.
13:00
We. Go to a very popular school in
13:02
California. As a group of
13:04
girls living together during cove it does
13:07
we spent most nights watching movies, drinking
13:09
wine, and hanging out altogether. To.
13:11
Give some context to the layout of
13:13
our house. We lived in a massive
13:16
house that was divided into three different.
13:18
Apartments. Which. Is our
13:20
apartment specifically because it was at the
13:22
very back of the house, which made
13:24
us all feel safer since we wouldn't
13:27
have the normal riffraff of thing right
13:29
on the streets where anyone could easily
13:31
see or decide to do anything sketchy.
13:34
Not that we really thought it was an issue. But.
13:36
It made all five girls living in
13:39
the house feel safer, especially since we
13:41
were now all away from our families.
13:44
And. Terms of: inside We have four
13:46
bedrooms upstairs and one bedroom right
13:48
next to the open concept Kittens
13:50
Last Living Room. The. Ground floor
13:52
bedroom faces are tiny parking lot, three cars
13:54
and a tiny garden while a kitchen and
13:57
living room face a little side the only
13:59
way that runs along the side of the
14:01
house and leads to our front door. So
14:03
it was a pretty big apartment. Some.
14:06
Foreshadowing, Since we got the apartment
14:08
in the middle of Covert Nineteen,
14:10
we hadn't furnish it properly and
14:12
did not have any curtains or
14:14
blinds. The only thing that separates
14:17
the window from the outside is
14:19
a pretty flimsy bug screen. In
14:22
the weeks leading up to the incident, my
14:24
friend who is the one living in the
14:26
bedroom on the first floor was complaining to
14:28
the other four of us that if we
14:30
wanted to bring anyone over we needed to
14:32
be at the door to grab them so
14:34
that they don't single and try the locked
14:36
door every time. Apparently. Should
14:38
always hear footsteps right outside her window
14:41
which they start. Little parking lot at
14:43
the back of the house and would
14:45
hear someone tried to open the front
14:47
door or tried to open a window.
14:49
Looking. Back on it. Now, I don't really
14:51
understand how we weren't as freaked out when
14:53
she told us this. I think
14:56
we just had such a false sense of security
14:58
since we had so many people in the house.
15:00
we lived in the very back of the house
15:02
and we did have boys coming in and out
15:04
of our house at night. So. I
15:06
guess it just wasn't unusual to hear
15:08
footsteps. Or at least we just
15:10
kept blaming each other's hookups for not following
15:13
the rules of staying outside until we opened
15:15
the door for them. Anyways,
15:17
my friends' complaints died down and
15:19
we'll kind of forgot about any
15:21
issues that happened. With. Constantly got
15:24
into fights in the house us because we were
15:26
all cooped up inside all the time so things
15:28
that are said really just come and go. This
15:31
was until the day that the incident
15:33
happened and it was honestly the scariest
15:35
thing that has probably ever happened to
15:37
me. All five of us,
15:40
plus two boyfriends were all sitting in
15:42
the living room for a Harry Potter
15:44
movie marathon. We. Have three
15:46
couches that are all placed and they
15:48
use seep configuration and a city tiny
15:51
Tv we were able to buy for
15:53
a hundred and fifty dollars at Best
15:55
Buy. So. It was a tight squeeze for
15:57
all of us. But. it felt so safe
15:59
being around so many people, especially
16:02
two huge guys. For
16:04
some more pretexts for our marathon, we all
16:06
thought it would be kind of cute to
16:08
make Harry Potter themed treats. We
16:10
made cupcakes and filled them with different colors for
16:12
all the houses, one of my
16:15
other friends made a sparkly cocktail, and we were
16:17
just kind of having fun with it. We
16:19
had all of our lights turned off because
16:21
as you know, the Harry Potter films are
16:23
filmed with a lot of darkness, and with
16:25
such a crappy TV, it was genuinely hard
16:27
to see what was going on at some
16:30
points. At this point, we were
16:32
really enjoying the film until one
16:34
of my friends says to pause the TV.
16:37
She said that she has been hearing some crunches
16:39
and footsteps for the past 30 minutes. This
16:43
was my bad entirely, but I told her
16:45
to stop scaring all of us because we
16:48
have the other two apartments in the house
16:50
who occasionally walk by our front door after
16:52
they have parked, so it wasn't
16:54
anything to be scared about. We
16:57
continue watching the movie and suddenly
16:59
we hear giggling. It
17:01
was a short burst and then dead
17:03
silent. We were all dead silent.
17:06
It was almost like we couldn't believe we
17:08
heard something so close by. We
17:10
literally turned off the TV at this point
17:13
because it was just really unnerving. And
17:16
then there it was again. Whoever
17:18
it was was literally right outside
17:20
of our door giggling. It
17:22
didn't sound like a child's giggle. It
17:25
was more like someone imitating a child's giggle,
17:27
which really freaked us all out. We
17:30
went to my bedroom window which was above the front
17:32
door so that we could see if
17:34
anyone was outside. As expected,
17:36
no one was outside. No
17:38
one was in the alleyway. So the
17:40
boys decided they would just check outside our
17:42
house in the parking lot and see if
17:44
they could find anything. I think
17:46
they were spooked too but didn't want to admit
17:48
it. The boys end up
17:51
coming back and said they couldn't find anything
17:53
weird or unusual. And it
17:55
was probably just our next door neighbors because they
17:57
were throwing a little kickback. So we
17:59
probably probably just heard some weird echo. Maybe
18:02
it's the false sense of security, but we were
18:04
pretty satisfied with that answer. If
18:06
the boys weren't even that freaked out, why would we be?
18:10
So, we decided to turn the TV back
18:12
on, make some more popcorn, and just chill.
18:15
Once again, maybe it's just stupidity or feeling
18:17
like nobody could hurt us with such a
18:20
big group, but we opened one of
18:22
the kitchen windows for some air after one of
18:24
my friends burnt the popcorn. The
18:26
kitchen window we opened was on the very
18:28
far end of the kitchen, and was the
18:30
furthest window away from us, so
18:33
it felt better knowing that even if something
18:35
were to happen, at least we had some
18:37
distance. Anyways, as
18:39
it happened previously, we heard another
18:42
giggle. This one
18:44
sounded almost strangled, almost
18:46
like it was really forced out. We
18:49
looked towards the open window and saw nothing. One
18:52
of the boys decided to shout, shut the
18:54
fuck up, for some comic relief, I guess.
18:58
I think it made us feel better to think that
19:00
it was just the house next door's party. We
19:03
unpaused the movie, and not
19:05
even seconds after unpausing, do
19:07
we hear another giggle. And
19:10
this time, when we look over, we
19:12
see some guy's face pressed against
19:15
the fucking bug screen while he
19:17
continues to open and close his mouth,
19:19
as if he is trying to chomp down on
19:21
the screen. His eyes were
19:24
wide open, and just staring at all
19:26
of us, as he kept
19:28
chomping. Holy shit, it
19:30
was chaos. Literally
19:33
survival instincts went straight out the window for
19:35
some of us, because while the boys ran
19:37
to the window and tried to shut and
19:40
lock it, everyone else was
19:42
screaming or running upstairs or locking
19:44
themselves into bedrooms. This
19:46
is the part that I cannot recount since I
19:48
ran upstairs, but according to the
19:50
boys, after they were able to shut the window
19:53
and grab one of our kitchen knives, the
19:55
guide just continued to press his face
19:57
against the window, making the same chomping
20:00
motion while not blinking and
20:02
he stayed like that until suddenly
20:05
he whipped his head back and
20:07
literally disappeared into the darkness. We
20:10
ended up calling the police to report this guy
20:12
but they kind of point blank said they wouldn't
20:14
really do anything unless we got hurt but
20:17
that they would definitely file a report about it for
20:19
any future issues that could be called in. But
20:22
that night we all decided to buy blinds
20:24
for downstairs and we called some of our
20:26
dads to help us install proper locks on
20:29
the front door and all of the bottom
20:31
floor windows. So I guess all
20:33
in all nothing bad happened. There
20:36
are a lot of people who overdose and
20:38
do heavy drugs around campus so
20:40
it was most likely a result of someone who took
20:42
too much of something but it
20:44
was definitely scary since we didn't actually
20:46
know if his intentions were to come
20:48
inside. Disturbed
