00:00These stories, aren't urban legend, they're real, and they happened to people like you, in places you know, doing things you do every day, so turn on your lights, and lock your windows, because what you're about to hear might happen to you next.
00:13It started around midnight, I was alone in my apartment, finishing a late shift from home, my desk faces the living room window 8's floor, nothing but a dark alley below, I never kept the blinds closed, it just didn't seem necessary.
00:34That night, I noticed something strange, every time I looked away from the screen, I felt a prickling sensation like something was staring at me, I ignored it, until I glanced out and saw two small glanced reflections eyes, from the building directly across, at first, I thought maybe it was a light or a reflection, but it moved, and blinked.
00:54Someone was standing in the window, pitch black silhouette, completely still, I closed my laptop and turned off the lights, thinking maybe it was less noticeable that way, but then, I got a notification on my phone, airdrop request, why do turn the lights off, I live alone, I hadn't enabled airdrop for strangers, my stomach dropped, I peeked back out, the silhouette was gone, I stayed frozen in that darkness until dawn.
01:19When I finally worked up the nerve to look again, I saw a note had been slipped under my front door, just five words, written in all red, you looked back too late.
01:31I was heading up to my apartment late after, 2am, the elevator groaned as it rose, and somewhere between the third and fourth floor, it stopped, and the doors opened, an old woman stood there, holding a faded handbag, her eyes were foggy, skin pale like candle whack,
01:48She didn't say anything just got in and hit floor 7, same as me, but here's the thing, there is number 7th floor in my building, we only go up to 6, I tried to act normal, but something felt wrong, her head slowly turned toward me, but her neck twisted too far, like it was dislocated, she smiled, her teeth were completely black, the elevator started moving again,
02:11I panicked and slammed the button for the lobby, but instead of going down, we went up, the numbers on the screen stopped at 7, the doors opened, it was pitch black, cold air rushed in, and I swear I heard whispering, like a thousand voices in unison saying,
02:27He's here, I didn't step out, the doors closed again, and I rode all the way back down, the next morning I asked the doorman about it, he looked confused and said,
02:35We don't have cameras in the elevators, but you went up alone last night.
02:43I live in a small house, on the edge of town quiet, but last week, something happened that changed the way I sleeped forever, I had just gotten into bed when I heard a faint knock on the front door, I checked the time through 12am, way too late for visitors, I grabbed a flashlight and looked out the peephole, no one.
03:00Then came another knocks off to this time, like fingertips dragging across the wood, I stepped back, unsure, when I heard the unmistakable sound of the back door creaking open, I ran to the kitchen and locked it, all the lights in the house were off now but not by me, I checked the fuse box, fine.
03:17Then I saw it in the hallway mirror, a shadow, not my own, standing behind me, but taped to the mirror, was a polaroid photo of me sleeping, there was a time stamp in the corner, 2.48am, he didn't knock to come in, he knocked after he was already inside.
