00:00Hey everyone, welcome to my channel. If you're new here, hit that subscribe button.

00:05Because tonight, we're diving into something that'll make you rethink ever tapping that Uber app again.

00:11These are three true Uber horror stories straight from the shadows of late night rides

00:16where the road isn't the only thing watching you.

00:19I'm warning you now. Once you start listening, you won't want to stop.

00:23Not because it's just scary, but because something out there might be listening too.

00:29So, lock your doors, check your back seat, and let's get into the first story.

00:34Buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride.

00:42It was October 2020, right in the thick of the pandemic, when I was driving for Uber to scrape by.

00:49I'd been laid off from my retail job, and the late night shifts were my bread and butter.

00:54You see all kinds of people at 2am. Drunk partiers, quiet loners, you name it.

01:01But nothing prepared me for what happened one Friday night in a small town just outside the city.

01:06My app pinged with a request from a guy named Derek.

01:10Pick up at a bowling alley in a deserted strip mall.

01:12The place was dead when I pulled up, just a flickering parking lot light and a tall figure in a grey hoodie,

01:19hands in his pockets, staring at his shoes like they held the secrets of the universe.

01:23I rolled down the window.

01:26Derek?

01:26He nodded, slow, and slid into the back seat behind me.

01:31The air got heavy the second he closed the door, like the car was suddenly too small.

01:35He smelled faintly of damp earth like he'd been standing in the rain, but the pavement was bone dry.

01:42I confirmed the destination.

01:44A house 20 minutes away in a creepy, isolated neighbourhood with no streetlights.

01:49Just big yards and looming trees.

01:52That right? I asked.

01:54His voice was flat, like he was reading from a script.

01:57Yeah.

01:58I started driving, but something was off.

02:01Every time I glanced in the rear-view mirror, he was staring at the back of my head, unblinking,

02:07his eyes like dark pools reflecting the dashboard lights.

02:11Five minutes in, I tried to break the ice.

02:14Rough night?

02:15He didn't answer at first, just kept staring.

02:17Then, out of nowhere, he said,

02:19I needed to get out of there.

02:21His voice sent a chill down my spine.

02:24Not because it was loud, but because it was too calm, like he was holding something back.

02:29Out of where? I asked, trying to sound casual.

02:33Doesn't matter, he said.

02:34And that's when I noticed the hum.

02:36It was faint at first, like a radio stuck between stations,

02:40but it was coming from inside the car, vibrating through the seats.

02:44I checked the stereo. It was off.

02:46My phone was fine, no notifications,

02:49but the hum grew louder, like a swarm of insects buzzing in my skull.

02:53We were getting close to the address, deep in that dark neighbourhood, when Derek leaned forward.

02:57His breath cold on my neck.

03:00Pull into that driveway.

03:02He pointed to a house that looked like it hadn't been touched in years.

03:06Peeling paint, overgrown lawn, windows like black voids.

03:10No car, no lights, just silence.

03:15This your place? I asked, my gut twisting.

03:18Just pull in, he said, sharper this time.

03:21I parked, but he didn't move.

03:23I turned around.

03:25Everything okay?

03:27He was staring at the house, his face pale, his eyes too wide.

03:31Wait here, he whispered.

03:33Then got out and walked around the side of the building, vanishing into the shadows.

03:38I sat there, heart pounding, the hum now so loud, it felt like it was inside my head.

03:44Two minutes passed, then three.

03:46I ended the trip on the app, ready to bolt.

03:50But before I could shift into reverse, Derek was back, moving fast, his face twisted with something.

03:57Anger, fear, I couldn't tell.

03:59He yanked the door open and slid in.

04:02Take me back, he said, his voice low, almost a growl.

04:06Back where? I asked, gripping the wheel.

04:09Where you picked me up.

04:11I told him he needed to request a new ride through the app, but he just stared, his eyes boring into mine through the mirror.

04:19Drive, he said.

04:21The hum spiked, and for a second my phone glitched, the screen flickering with static, the word SEEN flashing before it went black.

04:30I started driving, every nerve screaming to get him out of my car.

04:35The hum was deafening now, and the air felt thick, like I was breathing through a wet cloth.

04:41I tried to lighten the mood.

04:43Rough night, huh?

04:45He didn't smile.

04:47Not yet, he said, and my blood ran cold.

04:51We were almost back at the strip mall when he leaned forward again, so close I could feel his breath.

04:57You ever wonder how you're going to die?

05:00I laughed, but it came out weak, more like a gasp.

05:05Not really, I said.

05:07He didn't blink.

05:09You picked the wrong guy tonight.

05:11The hum stopped, and the silence was worse.

05:14He got out, leaving the door open, and walked into the darkness behind the bowling alley, his hoodie blending into the night.

05:23I drove home, checking my mirrors every second, the hum lingering in my ears.

05:27When I checked the app later, the trip was gone.

05:32No Derek, no history, nothing.

05:34But my phone kept glitching, random notifications popping up with that word, seen.

05:39And sometimes, late at night, I'd hear that hum again, faint, like it was waiting for me to get back on the road.

05:46That's just the start, folks.

05:48And if you're already checking your locks, don't stop now.

05:51The next story is going to make you think twice about ordering food through that app.

05:55I'm an 18-year-old living alone in a small apartment just outside town, with my five-pound Morky gizmo for company.

06:03It's a quiet area, eight miles from the city, so getting food delivered can be a hassle.

06:09I never thought Uber Eats would be anything more than a convenience, until one Friday night in 2021.

06:18I've been cleaning my place all day, getting ready for my boyfriend's weekend visit.

06:23By 6 p.m., I was starving, but didn't want to mess up my sparkling kitchen, so I ordered some takeout.

06:29The apps at my driver, listed as Tom, was on his way in a white Honda Fit.

06:35I set it for contactless delivery, leave it at the door, no fuss.

06:40Simple, right?

06:42I was watching TV when the notification pinged.

06:45Your order has been delivered.

06:47I jumped up, stomach growling, and opened the door.

06:51Nothing. No bag, no food.

06:54I checked the other doors in my complex.

06:57Nothing there, either.

06:58I was about to message the driver, when there was a knock.

07:02It was my neighbor, Mike, a gruff guy in his fifties, holding my food bag.

07:08Pick this up for you, he said, his face tight.

07:12Your driver was looking through your windows.

07:15Didn't like the vibe.

07:17My heart skipped.

07:19I thanked him, took the bag, and locked the door, double-checking every window.

07:24The food didn't taste right after that,

07:25like it was tainted by the thought of some stranger peering into my life.

07:29I tried to shake it off, ate, watched a movie, and got ready for bed.

07:34Took a shower, locked everything up, and called my boyfriend before crashing.

07:38But around 2 a.m., Gizmo started growling at the bedroom window,

07:43low and guttural, not his usual yip.

07:45I froze, the room pitch black except for the faint glow of a streetlight outside.

07:52Then it came.

07:53Bang, bang, bang on the window.

07:56Hard enough to rattle the glass.

07:59Gizmo went nuts, barking, whimpering, his little body trembling.

08:03I pulled the sheets up, heart pounding, leaving just a sliver to peek through.

08:08The window was old, no lock, just a flimsy latch.

08:11It could slide open with a push.

08:14I grabbed my phone, hands shaking, and whispered to the 911 operator that someone was in my backyard.

08:20She told me to get to another room and wait for the police.

08:24I ran to the kitchen, clutching a knife, my eyes darting to the windows.

08:30Through the blinds, I saw it, a white Honda Fit parked across the street in the empty field

08:36where people let their dogs run.

08:37No one was inside, but the realization hit like a punch.

08:42He was here, the driver, in my backyard.

08:46It felt like hours before the police arrived, their flashlight sweeping the yard.

08:50They found footprints in the mud, big, deep, leading from the field to my window and back.

08:56But no driver.

08:58His car was still there, empty, keys in the ignition.

09:01My neighbor came out, told the cops about the driver creeping earlier.

09:05They offered to let me stay at his place, but I couldn't.

09:09Not after that night.

09:10I went back inside, thinking it was over.

09:13Gizmo curled up tight against me.

09:15But at 3am, my phone buzzed.

09:18A notification from Uber.

09:20Your driver, Tom, has rated you five stars.

09:24My blood froze.

09:26Then another message, from an unknown number.

09:29Seen.

09:29The cops came back later, said they'd caught him sneaking up to my front door, like he was

09:34trying to get in.

09:35They arrested him, but when I checked the app, the driver's profile was blank.

09:40No name, no photo, just a void.

09:43And sometimes, when I'm alone, Gizmo growls at the windows, and I hear that hum.

09:49Faint.

09:50Like it's waiting for me to open the door.

09:52If that's got you spooked, brace yourself.

09:54The final story's the one that'll make you cancel your Uber account for good.

09:59I was 26, visiting my fiancée Sarah, in Washington, D.C., in 2022 for her basic training graduation.

10:07We had a week to ourselves before her family arrived, so we decided to explore the city's

10:12historical sites.

10:13Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, the works.

10:16After hours of walking, we were beat, and ready to head back to our hotel.

10:20Sarah booked an Uber on her phone, and we waited under a tree, the summer heat sticking to

10:27our skin.

10:28A grey minivan pulled up, no markings, just a plain vehicle.

10:32Sarah asked, Uber for Sarah?

10:35The driver, a middle-aged guy with a blank stare, nodded but said nothing.

10:40We got in, me in the back with her, too tired to think twice.

10:43The car smelled wrong, like old leather and something metallic, like blood.

10:49The driver didn't speak, didn't confirm the destination, just started driving.

10:54I closed my eyes, ready for a nap, but Sarah tapped my arm, her face pale.

10:59She showed me her phone.

11:01The Uber route was heading west to our hotel, but we were going east, toward the outskirts.

11:06Then a notification popped up.

11:09Your Uber has arrived.

11:11A message from the real driver.

11:13Where are you?

11:14My stomach dropped.

11:16The man driving wasn't our Uber.

11:18I leaned forward, trying to stay calm.

11:21Hey, we changed our minds.

11:23Can you let us out here?

11:25He didn't respond, just kept driving, his eyes flicking to the rearview mirror.

11:31Sarah was shaking, her hand gripping mine.

11:34I tried again louder.

11:35Pull over.

11:36Nothing.

11:37The hum started then.

11:39Low at first, like static from a broken radio.

11:42But it grew, vibrating through the seats.

11:45My bones.

11:46My phone glitched, the screen flashing scene before going black.

11:50Sarah's did the same.

11:52I didn't know what this guy wanted.

11:53But I wasn't waiting to find out.

11:56I pulled my pocket knife from my pocket, flipped it open, and leaned forward, voice steady, but hard.

12:02I know you're not our driver.

12:06Pull over, or I use this.

12:09His eyes met mine in the mirror.

12:12Cold.

12:13Empty.

12:14Like he wasn't all there.

12:16The hum spiked, and for a second I saw something in the passenger seat, a shadow, too tall, too thin, its edges blurring like smoke.

12:26Sarah gasped, seeing it, too.

12:29The driver pulled over, the doors unlocked, and we bolted, not looking back as the van sped off into the night.

12:37We called the real Uber, checked the driver's name and car this time, and got back to the hotel.

12:42The driver told us about fake Ubers in D.C., preying on tourists, linked to missing persons cases.

12:51We reported it to the police, but they never found the guy.

12:55Days later, my phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number.

13:00Scene.

13:01Sarah got the same.

13:02And at night, in our hotel, we'd hear that hum, faint but persistent, like something was waiting just outside.

13:12Here's the thing that ties these stories together, and it's why I'm telling you to be careful.

13:18I started digging after my encounter, found others online, drivers, riders, even delivery folks, who'd seen the same thing.

13:26They call it the signal, something that hijacks the Uber app, picks you up, and doesn't let go.

13:35It's not just a person, it's a presence, a hum, a shadow, that marks you with one word.

13:42Scene.

13:43Some say it's a glitch, a hacker.

13:46Others say it's older, something that's always been on the roads, now using apps to hunt.

13:52I don't know what it is, but I know this.

13:55Every time I hear that hum, I check my phone, my mirrors, my doors.

14:01Because once it sees you, it doesn't stop.

14:05So, what's in your next ride?

14:08A driver, or something else?

14:11Check the app, check the car, and maybe check the shadows, because they're watching.

14:18If you've got your own story, drop it in the comments.

14:20I read every one.

14:22Hit that like button, subscribe, and turn on notifications, because you don't want to miss what's coming next.

14:28But be careful out there.

14:30The signal's still listening.
