Stories that teach you to close all doors and windows at night.

An interesting new thread on Reddit. The user @Joobanbooban has some scary stories that happened to him when they were alone at home. Collected the most eerie and unexpected.

1… I woke up one morning and watched American Dad in bed before I got up and started getting ready for work. The back door slammed suddenly. Nothing unusual, because we use it all the time, but at this time no one was supposed to return home. Suddenly I hear footsteps on the stairs (my room is on the second floor). I scream "Mom, is that you?" - No answer. Suddenly, the head of an approximately 30-year-old man with dirty hair appears in the doorway - he looks surprised to see me (I am sitting in my panties on my bed in complete shock). He asks: "Is this a house (some surname)?" I say no, and he leaves. Later, from a family friend who works in the police, I learned that this man did such a thing in a couple of neighboring cities to rob people when no one was at home. -

2… I was 21 or 22 and was living alone when it happened. Once I went to bed with the window open, because the weather was fine and I was not particularly worried: although I lived on the first floor, there was a grill on the window that was not easy to remove, and this quarter was very calm and safe. And so I wake up in the middle of the night from the smell of smoke. I reached for the bedside lamp - and touched someone.

My brain instantly woke up, and when I turned on the light, I saw a man without a T-shirt, smoking a cigarette and staring at me. I yelled for him to clean up, and he looked as scared as I did. He quickly jumped out of the window. I immediately closed it and barricaded the opening with a bookcase. In the morning I saw that the bars had really been removed and that it was standing under the window. I never slept with the window open again or rented an apartment on the ground floor. I don't know if he wanted to rape me or rob me, or both, but I still can't help thinking that this could have happened before - I just didn't wake up. -

3… I was 19 and rented my first apartment. One day someone knocked insistently on the door. I looked through the peephole and saw an overweight man who started yelling at me to let him in. He shouted that he would beat me and that he would break down the door if I did not open it. I called the police, and as soon as they answered me, he started pounding on the door, trying to break it down. Fortunately, several officers were nearby, and after 5 minutes I heard the sounds of a siren. The cops tied him up. It turned out that he needed a person who had filmed this place before me. He was incredibly drunk and was arrested.

I left this apartment after 3 months. Although the area as a whole was nice and safe, at that moment I really wanted my parents to live nearby, and not on the other side of the country. -

4… Probably, many people know kitchen tongs with a latch that keeps them closed. So, I closed such tongs and put them on the countertop. She left the kitchen, returned after a while - and the tongs jumped off the countertop right at me! My soul went into my heels. It turned out that the latch just came off and they opened and jumped, but for a second I was scared to death. -

5… Reading all these stories, I understand that I was still lucky, but still. Once my wife and her son went to stay with relatives for the weekend, and I was at home alone. There is a video monitor in the nursery, and, standing in the living room, I saw on the screen that someone was fumbling around in my son's things in the nursery. I grabbed my weapon and walked over there, shouting something like “I'm armed! Come out slowly! I went into the room, turned on the light and … saw nothing. I looked around the room until I was sure it was empty and returned to the living room. And you know what? On the monitor, this man was in the nursery AGAIN! Then I looked closer and realized … that I was looking at myself. It turned out that the camera works with a long delay, we just did not notice it before. All this time I have been threatening myself. -

6… Our cleaning lady tried to commit suicide right in our bathroom. Unfortunately, she still achieved success after four days (not in our home). -

7… One day I came home late from a party and decided to cook myself a meal. My father had gone somewhere, so I was alone. And then someone coughed in the basement! I ran out of the house in panic and saw someone running away through the back. It turned out that it was the daughter of my father's ex-girlfriend who stole the keys to the house and came to rob us. She went to jail a couple of years later when she tried to rob her daughter-in-law in the same way. -

8… I work from home, so I spend a lot of time by myself. Somehow I was sitting at the computer and out of the corner of my eye I saw movement through the window. The man literally jumped over the fence and landed in my yard. I called my boyfriend, and while I was explaining to him what had happened, the doorbell rang. It was a woman from Century Link [an American telecommunications company] who explained that their technician needed to get into my yard to check that the equipment was working. I said that someone had just jumped over the fence, so the specialists are probably already there. Thank you Century Link for almost driving me to a heart attack! -

9… One evening there was an explosion at a petrochemical plant 1.5 km from the house where I lived. The blast wave knocked out the double windows in the room where I was. I was scared and almost believed that the bombing had begun, and then I remembered where I live. Shortly before that, I released the dog into the yard, and he was in a state of complete shock. For two months after that, I had to go out with him, sit next to him on the grass and give him pieces of chicken, just to get him to do his thing. -

10… I was alone at home, sleeping peacefully in my bed. When I turned on the other side, I opened my eyes for a second and immediately closed them - surely many people do this. And in that second, I swear, I saw someone standing by my bed. I hid with my eyes closed, pretending to continue to sleep, listening intently and expecting to hear breathing, footsteps - whatever. There was nothing, and at some point I fell asleep, never daring to open my eyes again, convincing myself that I would hear if the door or window opened. In the morning I saw that the door to the house was open, but nothing was missing and there were no traces that someone was in the house. -
