1. 0:02after moving to that house
2. 0:04my life changed for the worse
3. 0:07i gained haunting memories and phobias
4. 0:10horrifying images stuck in my head that
5. 0:14i will never be able to shed
6. 0:17i was 23 at the time and i had just
7. 0:19gotten my first job but it was out of
8. 0:22state and i had to move away from my
9. 0:24family
10. 0:26it was a stressful time in my life
11. 0:28i felt mixed emotions about living in a
12. 0:31house all by myself so far away from my
13. 0:33family in new jersey
14. 0:35mostly a mix of excitement and
15. 0:37nervousness
16. 0:38of course i didn't have much money at
17. 0:41such a young age so the house i was
18. 0:43moving into was kind of old and run down
19. 0:46it was a fixer-upper to put it lightly
20. 0:48but it did come with a good amount of
21. 0:50furniture
22. 0:52i remember the night i arrived at the
23. 0:54house after the long drive
24. 0:56it was probably close to 10 o'clock
25. 1:00lugging that giant duffel bag of clothes
26. 1:02up to the empty house
27. 1:04dropping the bag on the porch
28. 1:06pushing the key into the keyhole and
29. 1:08turning it
30. 1:09unlocking more than just the door but a
31. 1:12whole new chapter to my life
32. 1:14the rest of my life
33. 1:16of independence
34. 1:18of course at that time i didn't know
35. 1:20what i was really walking into
36. 1:23on that first night i tried to
37. 1:24familiarize myself with the house a bit
38. 1:28there was a living room a kitchen a
39. 1:30dining room a basement two bedrooms
40. 1:32upstairs and two bathrooms one upstairs
41. 1:35and one in the basement
42. 1:37i had the basic necessities furniture
43. 1:39wise a fridge an oven and microwave a
44. 1:43couch a bed and such
45. 1:46all the floors were wooden and a bit
46. 1:48creaky
47. 1:49it was more of an ideal place for an old
48. 1:51woman but the price was right
49. 1:55i was so exhausted that i just brushed
50. 1:57my teeth and went to sleep on that old
51. 1:59bed in the bedroom not caring how dirty
52. 2:01it might have been
53. 2:03the first night i laid awake for
54. 2:05probably an hour with the silence
55. 2:07constantly being broken by cracks of
56. 2:10wood and other house weathering sounds
57. 2:13all was fine the next morning
58. 2:15i ate at the nearest ihop got some
59. 2:17groceries and headed back home
60. 2:20getting out of my car i saw a woman next
61. 2:22door getting into her car
62. 2:24she noticed me
63. 2:26i gave her a wave and slowed down half
64. 2:29expecting her to come over and introduce
65. 2:31herself
66. 2:32but all she did was return a wave before
67. 2:34getting into her car and driving off
68. 2:37now i was used to having unfriendly
69. 2:39neighbors but there was something about
70. 2:41the way she looked at me that made me
71. 2:44uncomfortable
72. 2:45i detected a hint of
73. 2:47worry in her face
74. 2:50i shrugged it off and went inside
75. 2:53i spent the better part of the night
76. 2:54watching tv on the old rabbit-eared
77. 2:56television that was left in the house
78. 2:59when i decided to call it a night i went
79. 3:01to the bathroom to brush my teeth due to
80. 3:04a force of habit i still shut the door
81. 3:06while in the bathroom
82. 3:08but while i was brushing my teeth
83. 3:11i heard the faint sound of a single
84. 3:13knock on the bathroom door
85. 3:17i felt my heart drop and i jumped back
86. 3:19against the wall in response
87. 3:23the sound caught me off guard
88. 3:25it wasn't the sound of wood settling or
89. 3:27anything like that
90. 3:28i distinctly heard the sound of a fist
91. 3:30hitting the door
92. 3:33i'm living on my own now i'm a grown man
93. 3:36so now i have to be a man
94. 3:40i turned the knob and pushed the door
95. 3:41open with force lunging out into the
96. 3:43black hallway expecting to run into
97. 3:45somebody
98. 3:48but there was nothing at all
99. 3:50i flipped the light switch to the
100. 3:52hallway on
101. 3:53all the doors were still shut just as
102. 3:55they were before
103. 3:57except for the door to my bedroom
104. 4:00i took a deep breath and ran straight
105. 4:02into the room literally flailing my arms
106. 4:04everywhere expecting to hit somebody
107. 4:08i stopped and took a good look around
108. 4:10the room
109. 4:11i was the only living soul in the room
110. 4:14so that was it
111. 4:16there was no other possible place an
112. 4:17intruder could have gone
113. 4:19i would have definitely heard them run
114. 4:21down the creaky old steps and i would
115. 4:23have heard any of the doors close
116. 4:26i was at this point convinced it was
117. 4:28just my imagination or more house noises
118. 4:31maybe a mix of both
119. 4:34i had trouble falling asleep that night
120. 4:37i jumped at every little noise paranoid
121. 4:39of my surroundings
122. 4:41i was acting like a terrified little kid
123. 4:44after flipping over trying to get
124. 4:46comfortable for the hundredth time i
125. 4:48noticed the door to my bedroom was open
126. 4:51from what i remembered i had not left it
127. 4:53open
128. 4:54and then i realized
129. 4:57there was something
130. 4:58poking in at the edge of the door
131. 5:03i sat up and tried to adjust my eyes to
132. 5:05see what the hell that thing was
133. 5:08my eyes adjusted to the dark ever so
134. 5:10slightly
135. 5:11but it was enough
136. 5:13to make out the object to be the face of
137. 5:15a woman
138. 5:16and she was undoubtedly staring at me
139. 5:18laying in my bed
140. 5:21i crawled up in fear screaming like a
141. 5:23five-year-old
142. 5:24the head moved away from the doorway out
143. 5:26of sight
144. 5:28i threw my hand to the desk shoving
145. 5:30things onto the floor as i desperately
146. 5:32tried to find my phone
147. 5:34the feeling of the plastic case never
148. 5:36felt so good as i dialed 9-1-1
149. 5:39i stayed curled up in my bed like a baby
150. 5:41until the police arrived
151. 5:43i rushed down the stairs to the front
152. 5:45door to let them in and explain to the
153. 5:47officers that somebody was in my house
154. 5:50one of the officers questioned me asking
155. 5:53how i knew what they looked like and
156. 5:55where i saw them
157. 5:56i explained that i saw a woman poking
158. 5:58her head into my bedroom just staring at
159. 6:01me
160. 6:02i told him it was too dark to make out
161. 6:04any discernible features
162. 6:06the two officers rushed inside to look
163. 6:08for an intruder as i sat by the curb
164. 6:10waiting with the other officer that came
165. 6:12in the second patrol car
166. 6:14after about 20 minutes the officers came
167. 6:17out and told me that they searched every
168. 6:19single room and closet but there was
169. 6:21absolutely no sign of anybody
170. 6:24the officers proceeded to ask me some
171. 6:26questions eventually asking if i live
172. 6:27alone to which i responded that i just
173. 6:30moved away from my family all the way in
174. 6:31new jersey
175. 6:33the police officers looked at each other
176. 6:35and one of them stepped forward and
177. 6:37claimed that he knew what was going on
178. 6:40the officer said that he's seen this
179. 6:42happen many times before
180. 6:44when a young man or woman moves far away
181. 6:46from their family they often get
182. 6:48homesick and start to think that they're
183. 6:50seeing things commonly the images of
184. 6:52people
185. 6:54it didn't seem impossible i had no other
186. 6:57explanation
187. 6:58the officer assured me that nobody was
188. 7:00in my house and that i just needed some
189. 7:02time to get used to living alone
190. 7:04i thanked the officers and they drove
191. 7:06off into the night leaving me to go back
192. 7:08into the house
193. 7:11the next day i had my job orientation
194. 7:13around noon i met a few people who i
195. 7:16thought were pretty cool
196. 7:17all of them were from out of state just
197. 7:19like me except for one guy named jerry
198. 7:22i found out that jerry actually lived a
199. 7:24few blocks away from me
200. 7:26i was happy to know that i would be
201. 7:27working with people i could get along
202. 7:29with as making new friends here was my
203. 7:31number one priority
204. 7:33that night i threw tv dinner in the
205. 7:35microwave and headed up to my room to
206. 7:37watch some movies
207. 7:39i called it a night shortly after
208. 7:41realizing nothing was on tv
209. 7:43i didn't really have anything else to do
210. 7:45i went to the bathroom to brush my teeth
211. 7:47again with the door shut again at a
212. 7:50force of habit
213. 7:51i had completely forgotten about what
214. 7:53happened the previous night
215. 7:55up until i heard something come from
216. 7:56outside the bathroom down the hall
217. 8:00that's when everything came back to
218. 8:01memory
219. 8:02no i'm just imagining things i told
220. 8:05myself
221. 8:06there's nobody in this house
222. 8:08but my positive attitude was shattered
223. 8:11when i heard the same exact sound a
224. 8:12second time
225. 8:15this time i could make the sound out to
226. 8:16be a fist pounding on the wall in the
227. 8:18hallway
228. 8:20no
229. 8:21it wasn't supposed to be real
230. 8:23it can't be
231. 8:24real with one giant boost of confidence
232. 8:28i decided i had to end whatever this was
233. 8:31i swung open the door and stopped in my
234. 8:33tracks before getting two feet away from
235. 8:35the door
236. 8:37down the hallway by the open door of the
237. 8:39extra bedroom
238. 8:41there was the same head poking down the
239. 8:43hall right at me
240. 8:46the lights in the hallway were off and
241. 8:48they couldn't make out any facial
242. 8:49features
243. 8:50i couldn't even see her eyes
244. 8:53i let out a loud gasp as my body once
245. 8:56again filled with fear
246. 8:58if this was real i had to confront this
247. 9:00woman
248. 9:01and so i stomped down the hall trying to
249. 9:03seem as intimidating as possible but as
250. 9:05i got within a couple feet of the door
251. 9:08the woman slowly moved her head away
252. 9:09from the doorway and out of sight
253. 9:12as soon as i walked through the doorway
254. 9:14i flicked on the light switch and
255. 9:15scanned the room
256. 9:17besides the only two pieces of furniture
257. 9:19the king-size bed and the antique
258. 9:21dresser the room was empty
259. 9:24i got on my hands and knees and looked
260. 9:26under the huge bed
261. 9:28nothing
262. 9:29then i saw the closet in the corner of
263. 9:31the room
264. 9:32this had to be it
265. 9:34she had to be in there
266. 9:36with one swift motion i turned the knob
267. 9:39and swung the door open
268. 9:41nothing except for a bunch of hanging
269. 9:43ties old jackets and a pair of boots on
270. 9:46the ground further back in the closet
271. 9:49the inside of the closet smelled
272. 9:50disgusting so i immediately shut the
273. 9:52door and let it be
274. 9:54i was left in the empty room scratching
275. 9:56my head
276. 9:57there was nobody in here
277. 9:59the officer was right
278. 10:01i was so homesick that my mind was
279. 10:04creating phony images of a person
280. 10:07as i was walking out of the room i felt
281. 10:09a sharp pain in my right foot
282. 10:12i lifted my leg up to see what i had
283. 10:14stepped on
284. 10:15it was glass
285. 10:17upon closer inspection
286. 10:19i saw tiny shards of glass scattered all
287. 10:21across the floor
288. 10:23whoever was in charge of cleaning this
289. 10:25house up did a bad job
290. 10:26but it wasn't that big of a deal
291. 10:29i made a note to self to sweep up the
292. 10:30glass and get some air fresheners
293. 10:32because as i came to think about it the
294. 10:35whole house smelled a little funky and
295. 10:37i'm sure that wasn't doing my mind any
296. 10:38good considering what was going on
297. 10:42it was another sleepless night but
298. 10:44thankfully i had nothing going on the
299. 10:45next day
300. 10:47come morning i did some grocery shopping
301. 10:49but when i got home i realized i'd
302. 10:51forgotten the air fresheners
303. 10:53i didn't feel like driving back to the
304. 10:55store so i decided i could deal with the
305. 10:57house odor for a little while longer
306. 11:00i did a lot of work around the house
307. 11:02that day i put some new furniture in
308. 11:04swept up the broken glass and i got a
309. 11:07good amount of cleaning done mainly
310. 11:09dusting off all the old furniture so
311. 11:11that i didn't feel like i was living in
312. 11:12a dead person's house
313. 11:14i went for a bike ride later in the day
314. 11:16to the woodsy area of the neighborhood
315. 11:18and when i got back i cooked myself a
316. 11:20dinner for the first time and called in
317. 11:22the night
318. 11:23when it came time to brush my teeth i
319. 11:26was almost dreading having to go back in
320. 11:27that bathroom after the previous nights
321. 11:30but i brushed my teeth without any
322. 11:32interruptions
323. 11:33i breathed a sigh of relief when i was
324. 11:35done and continued back to the old
325. 11:37rickety bed in my bedroom
326. 11:39maybe i was finally getting over the
327. 11:41delusions
328. 11:43i did my nightly movie watching before
329. 11:45turning off the tv to be alone with my
330. 11:47thoughts
331. 11:49i was eager to start work just to end
332. 11:51the constant loneliness
333. 11:53i needed something to take my mind off
334. 11:55of the weird things i had seen
335. 11:58about half an hour later
336. 12:00i finally drifted away into a deep sleep
337. 12:04only to be woken up to a loud bang
338. 12:07[Music]
339. 12:09i sat up while rubbing my head confused
340. 12:12and that's when i saw it
341. 12:14at the edge of my bed was the woman i
342. 12:17had seen before peering over the bed so
343. 12:20that only her head was visible once
344. 12:22again
345. 12:24i let out a high-pitched streak
346. 12:26completely horrified by the disturbing
347. 12:28sight
348. 12:29it's not real
349. 12:30it's not really there
350. 12:32i told myself
351. 12:34but it wouldn't go away
352. 12:36it just
353. 12:37stayed at the edge of my bed
354. 12:39watching me
355. 12:41i looked to my right at the lamp sitting
356. 12:43on the nightstand right next to my bed
357. 12:45i didn't want to feed my mind's tricks
358. 12:47and games but i had to see what this
359. 12:49thing looked like
360. 12:52i reached my hand out to the knob on the
361. 12:54lamp and clicked it to the right
362. 12:57the bright light of the lamp illuminated
363. 12:59the room along with the face at the end
364. 13:01of my bed
365. 13:03and what i saw has been engraved into my
366. 13:05mind
367. 13:06this was no ordinary woman
368. 13:09the few hairs that were still attached
369. 13:10to her scalp were long gray and tangled
370. 13:14her skin was cracked her mouth hung open
371. 13:17revealing steamed brown teeth and her
372. 13:20eyes
373. 13:21there
374. 13:22there weren't any
375. 13:24there were just two gaping black holes
376. 13:27in her face
377. 13:29i screamed louder than i knew i could
378. 13:31and flung my pillow across my bed to the
379. 13:33thing and just like that
380. 13:35the thing was gone
381. 13:38my heart was probably beating 300 times
382. 13:40a minute and yet i was frozen in a
383. 13:42curled up position in my bed
384. 13:45what had i just seen
385. 13:48i only got about two hours of sleep that
386. 13:50night
387. 13:51things seemed to be getting worse
388. 13:53why would my mind create an image like
389. 13:55that
390. 13:56i had no idea what to think anymore so i
391. 13:59called my mom and informed her of what
392. 14:01was happening
393. 14:02i didn't want to admit something like
394. 14:04hallucinations and fear that my mom
395. 14:06would think i was sick and the last
396. 14:08thing i wanted to do was worry my mother
397. 14:10but i had no one else to talk to about
398. 14:12it
399. 14:13so i explained everything and as i
400. 14:15expected she started to freak out in
401. 14:18panic assuming somebody was actually in
402. 14:20my house
403. 14:21and then i told her about the awful
404. 14:23decaying features of the woman's head
405. 14:25i immediately detected that her tone had
406. 14:28changed from worried to confused and
407. 14:31concerned
408. 14:32she told me to get as much sleep as
409. 14:34possible and to take my vitamins every
410. 14:36day
411. 14:37a typical mom answer
412. 14:39but i can't say i expected much help
413. 14:41from her
414. 14:42after hanging up the phone i realized
415. 14:44that she too thought i was just going
416. 14:46crazy
417. 14:47but it was too real
418. 14:49i couldn't just be imagining it
419. 14:52i decided to get out of the house to get
420. 14:54my mind off of it
421. 14:56i went for another long bike ride and
422. 14:58when i got back i went to the store
423. 15:00again specifically to buy the air
424. 15:02fresheners
425. 15:03the fresh smell would definitely do my
426. 15:05mind some good
427. 15:07before getting on the line to check out
428. 15:09i ran into jerry from the orientation
429. 15:12we had a quick chat i talked about my
430. 15:14daily activities in the neighborhood
431. 15:16biking shooting hoops at the park and a
432. 15:18lot of movies
433. 15:20he asked me where i went to go biking as
434. 15:22he knew of some great bike trails in the
435. 15:24area
436. 15:25i told him i went biking over by the
437. 15:27woodsy side of the neighborhood as it's
438. 15:29only a few blocks away from my street
439. 15:32what street is that he asked me to which
440. 15:34i replied maple drive
441. 15:37a look of worry suddenly spread across
442. 15:40his face as he seemed to be instantly
443. 15:42consumed into his phone typing away
444. 15:44what's wrong i asked him
445. 15:47he lifted the screen of the phone up to
446. 15:49my face
447. 15:50is this where you live
448. 15:51he asked
449. 15:53there was a picture on the screen of my
450. 15:55house
451. 15:56what how did you know
452. 15:59why is that picture online
453. 16:01charity went on to explain that before
454. 16:03me there was a couple living there
455. 16:06the neighbors claimed they always heard
456. 16:07the couple fighting and the sounds of
457. 16:09glass breaking
458. 16:10and then he dropped a bomb
459. 16:13he told me that one day the scream of
460. 16:15the wife could be heard by all the
461. 16:16surrounding neighbors and shortly after
462. 16:19one of the neighbors found the woman's
463. 16:21body with her head missing
464. 16:24the story was such horrifying news to me
465. 16:27i had no idea about the house's past
466. 16:28history
467. 16:30i left the store shaking in my feet
468. 16:33feeling like my legs were getting weaker
469. 16:35as i walked to my car
470. 16:37i got lunch at wendy's and took a long
471. 16:39detour back home trying to think
472. 16:41everything out
473. 16:43things were starting to make sense
474. 16:45the low price
475. 16:47the old furniture
476. 16:48the broken glass
477. 16:50but one thing wasn't accounted for
478. 16:53the smell
479. 16:55the horrible odor in the house
480. 16:56specifically in that closet
481. 16:59what if
482. 17:00something's in that closet
483. 17:03i had to get home and find out what was
484. 17:04in that closet
485. 17:07after getting home i immediately ran
486. 17:08straight to the extra bedroom with the
487. 17:10closet
488. 17:11i swung open the closet door to have a
489. 17:13blast of foul air hit me right in the
490. 17:15face
491. 17:16the smell seemed even more unbearable
492. 17:18than before
493. 17:20i ravaged through the closet throwing
494. 17:21all the hanging ties and jackets out
495. 17:23onto the king-sized bed
496. 17:25there was nothing at all
497. 17:27there was absolutely nothing else in
498. 17:29there besides the ties in the jackets it
499. 17:32was just a regular closet
500. 17:34i felt a headache coming on
501. 17:36it didn't make any sense
502. 17:39i plugged the air freshener into the
503. 17:40outlet in the closet and shut the door
504. 17:42not even bothering to hang the ties and
505. 17:44jackets back up i didn't understand
506. 17:46where the odor was coming from
507. 17:48but it didn't matter anymore the air
508. 17:51freshener would take care of it
509. 17:53i walked out of the bedroom but with the
510. 17:55feeling of having missed something
511. 17:58i didn't really know what but i felt
512. 18:01like my brain was trying to tell me
513. 18:03something
514. 18:04i didn't dwell on it though
515. 18:06i was more focused on calling my mom and
516. 18:08telling her about the history of the
517. 18:09house
518. 18:10we were not warned or informed of this
519. 18:12history and i intended on making a case
520. 18:14of it
521. 18:16i tried calling my mom three times and
522. 18:18on the third time she finally picked up
523. 18:21she informed me that she was just
524. 18:22getting home from a long and stressful
525. 18:24drive during a snowstorm
526. 18:26i completely forgot that it was cold in
527. 18:28new jersey
528. 18:30she told me to hang on that she was
529. 18:32taking her boots off
530. 18:33and then it hit me
531. 18:35boots
532. 18:37the boots
533. 18:39my heart dropped
534. 18:41there were jackets and ties
535. 18:43but no boots
536. 18:46where the hell were the boots that i saw
537. 18:48in the closet two days ago
538. 18:50i turned to the bedroom door
539. 18:52and there it was
540. 18:54the head of the woman peering down the
541. 18:57hall at me
542. 18:58this time i couldn't even get a scream
543. 19:01out
544. 19:02the head began to move further out into
545. 19:04the hall
546. 19:05until a tall body emerged into sight
547. 19:08it was somebody in reggie ripped
548. 19:10clothing covered in bloodstains
549. 19:13and they were
550. 19:14wearing the woman's face
551. 19:17the huge figure charged down the hall
552. 19:18towards me but i was already halfway
553. 19:20down the stairs
554. 19:22the sound of the boots stomping on the
555. 19:23stairs was right behind me as i was at
556. 19:25the front door trying to unlock and open
557. 19:27it
558. 19:28i felt two hands grabbed me and shoved
559. 19:30me to the floor
560. 19:32i lay defenseless in the corner held
561. 19:33down by the towering figure
562. 19:36with only my legs free i had only one
563. 19:38option
564. 19:40i kicked the figure in the groin and he
565. 19:42collapsed down groaning in pain
566. 19:45i thanked my lucky stars and pushed him
567. 19:46off of me freeing myself
568. 19:49i opened the front door and ran to my
569. 19:50car driving about five blocks away
570. 19:52before calling the police
571. 19:56unfortunately the man was already gone
572. 19:58when the police arrived
573. 20:00i had a pretty good idea of who the man
574. 20:02was and i gave a tip to the police
575. 20:05of course they already had a good idea
576. 20:06as well and i didn't really do them any
577. 20:08good
578. 20:10i still don't understand how i mistook
579. 20:12it for hallucinations
580. 20:14and i'm still trying to figure out where
581. 20:15he managed to hide after each appearance
582. 20:19i think when he was at the edge of my
583. 20:20bed he simply hid under my bed for the
584. 20:22rest of the night
585. 20:24and it only terrifies me to think about
586. 20:26what would have happened had i simply
587. 20:28looked under
588. 20:30i don't know why he toyed with me though
589. 20:32why didn't the sick freak just kill me
590. 20:34if that was his end goal
591. 20:36or maybe it wasn't
592. 20:38hopefully i'll never know
593. 20:40it's scary to think that that man is
594. 20:42still out there
595. 20:45i moved back with my family after that
596. 20:47and refused to move back out of state
597. 20:49my dad helped me get my foot in the door
598. 20:51at the company he works for so i think
599. 20:53i'm all right employment wise
600. 20:55but i still think of the experience
601. 20:57every night
602. 20:58and sometimes
603. 21:00i wake up in the middle of the night and
604. 21:02i can swear
605. 21:03that i see the woman's head
606. 21:05peering over to me in my bed
