A few people were kind enough to submit some of their bone-chilling real-life experiences with me. Not only was I completely freaked out, but I was also angry with myself for reading many of these at midnight. Now it’s your turn to be creeped out tonight.
1. Tender Ain't So Tender
I met a guy off of Tinder. Before you think “Well I know how this is going to end” let me explain. We had a lot of mutual Facebook friends and I have seen him around my campus a couple of times. He went to a school in the surrounding area. For the next few months, we texted back and forth, facetimed every night, met up at the coffee shop on my campus and just chilled at least weekly. He was a pretty laid back, clean cut dude. Nothing creepy at all. He even loved animals. I finally build a little trust to invite him to my dorm. In order to get into my dorm, you have to get signed in with a State-ID. He gives the front desk security his school ID. The guard says “We don’t accept that. We need a state ID, drivers license or a passport to get you signed in”. He reluctantly gives them his license. I laughed because I assumed he just didn’t want me to see his picture. What I did notice though was that his name was different than what he told me. He had me calling him by his middle name instead of his first. I thought nothing of it until the security guard turned white. She looks like she’s seen a ghost. She then tells him “You’re banned from this building and all campus buildings.” He snatches his license back and storms out. I am just standing there trying to process everything. Once I break out of my daze and decide to go after him, he’s long gone. Actually, something told me not to. I go upstairs and type in his name into google. Some random football player pops up, Totally not him. Then I type in his real first name and take the middle name out. A few mugshots pop up. 3 of them were weed charges and I start to close out my computer. Then I notice this 4th mugshot. I click on it and find out he has a pending case for Sexual Assault with a Deadly Weapon. There was more but I got freaked out and shut my computer. About 45 minutes later, Security comes to my door and says the police want to ask me a few questions. When I got down there, they were asking me did I meet him when I was 17 because I recently turned 18, and what was the extent of our relationship because he's not supposed to be around minors. It was weird but that's one of the questions that stuck out to me the most. I deleted Tinder that night.
2. Ouij Shouldn't Have Done This
My mom left me, my bro, and my cousin at the house one night because her and my aunties wanted to go out and do whatever 40 somethin’ year-old women do. We were in middle school, not that responsible, and I still don’t know what my OG was thinking. Anyway, we’re playing a game, and my cousin throws some black bookbag in front of me and my brother and just stare at us. (He’s weird, he went to private school). Anyway, he tells us that this dude he was on the football team with dad got him a ouija board and let him borrow it. I told him you borrow a dollar, you borrow a pencil, you borrow a video game, maybe even socks, but you don’t go round borrowing ouija boards. But like I said, he went to private school so dude is weird. My brother who I swear was dropped on the head in his first 3 months of my life tells him to set it up. Now my mama doesn’t even let us watch Harry Potter in the crib cause she doesn’t want them spirits in her house. She finds out we’re playing with this in her house, we gon become spirits too. Obviously, I’m out-voted so I sit down. They set it up and ask it a bunch of dumb questions like who gon win the finals and stuff like that. Then my cousin’s weird private school ass gon ask “Is there anyone who wants to speak to us”. The little guitar pick thingy on it gets to moving. My cousin lets it guide his hands. It spells out A-N-N-E. We sit there confused for a second. We don’t know an Anne. Then my brother said, “Ain’t that Big Mama’s name”. I tell him “True but grandma is at work.” Then my cousin asks again. Then it starts to spell something out again. It spells out A-N-N-E again?!!! So we sit there confused because we are tryna figure out who Anne is. My brother brings up a good point that the house is kinda old and that may be a previous owner of the house. He can be smart when he wants to be. Next thing we know, the front door swings open! We jump up and scream. It’s my mama and my aunties. They’re home super early. That’s when they tell us that we need to get dressed and get in the car. My grandma was in the hospital and she ended up passing that night. She was gone when we got there. (Also, she ended up seeing the ouija board and she whooped all of our asses.)
3. Maybe My Mom Wasn’t That Terrible When I Was a Teenager
My friends and I were planning this all winter break. We all were officially 18 and we wanted to do something memorable for our senior year of high school before we were all separated from each other in college. We came up with the bright Idea to get a hotel for New Year’s. You have to be 21 to get a hotel at most hotels (at least the ones we called) except for this shitty hotel in the ass crack of town. That was our only option but we were still excited because we always make the best of things. One of my friends was the most responsible one out the group and had a credit card so we were all set. Her brother was home from college and could easily get us booze. Our plan was smooth. Well, at least it was until my mom started being annoying. Up until the very day we were supposed to go, she said that I couldn’t go anymore. She said “I thought about it, I don’t feel good about it. Save experiences like that for college" (she didn’t know about the booze but I guess she caught on). I was fuming. I told her I couldn’t wait to move out and be away from her. My friends were on their way and I told him that my warden of a Mom wasn’t budging so turn around. My NYE was ruined and the best thing to do was just go to sleep. The next morning, my mom comes into my room. I guess she doesn’t want us to start the new year on a bad note. Well, I guess that was inevitable because she told me that my friends got into a car accident and 3 of them are critically injured and one may never walk again. I wasn’t even mad at her anymore, I just hugged her as tight as I could. A mother knows.
4. The Van
My friend had this creepy work van as a first car. We didn’t care though and neither did he because he was one of the only few kids with a car. The six of us decide to go to the movies. My friends always made smart comments about how I always sit shot-gun. To be fair, I lived the closest to him so why would I sit in the back if we are the only two in the car when he picks me up? Anyway, I offered one of my girlfriends the front seat. She goes “Oh I was just joking, you can have your seat.” I tell her “No, I insist. I’m always in the front seat, go ahead.” So I climb in the back and we ride. Everything is copacetic until this Bronco flies through the red light and hits us. Everyone was fine…..except the driver and my friend I offered my seat to. They were both killed in the accident. I still get nightmares about it but it got better over the years.
5. We Are All Good In Someone's Eyes
I had a foster uncle who I was just absolutely crazy about. He played dolls with me, took me outside, always got me a treat when he went to the store. Then he went away. I asked my grandparents where did he go? They explained how fostering was not a permanent situation. I was sad but got over it. Years later I thought about him again then asked my aunt and grandparents about where he was and is he at least okay. He’s too old for the system so at least he could have visited us since he can do what he wants now. They take a deep breath and tell me the truth. He has not visited because he is in prison for murder. He went to his girlfriend's house and yacked away at her with a cooking knife right on her porch as her mother was inside watching television. When her mom came outside he was gone and her daughter was in the most gruesome state. He got on the train to go home and several people called the police reporting a man on the train covered in blood. He was arrested as soon as he got off. He has 30 years opposed to life due to his mental health.
6. Maybe I Shouldn't Be So Friendly
I was always taught to be gentle with people’s feelings. There was this kid in my gym class with beat up red Chuck Taylors, acne galore, kinda smelled like cheese and had a bad haircut. He kept to himself and you can tell he’s someone who has to muster up the courage to even say "hello". Actually, the few times I greeted him he ignored me but I didn’t take it personally. Later on, through the year, he started responding and we even grew into having small talk. One day I greet him in class as usual and he says “Hi” and starts laughing. I asked him what are you laughing at? He points to my socks that have llamas on them. Then he says “You really love Llamas, you even have them all over your wall.” He quickly turns red and walks away. I stand there stunned. I have Llamas on my bedroom wall and I’ve never even shown my room online. This was way before Instagram and Snapchat. He ignored me ever since and I did the same. I also got thicker bedroom curtains and started taking another way home.
