12 Reddit Let's Not Meet Stories That'll Make You Fear Life,
Terrorized for Two Hours by a Home Intruder
Living in a house with your classmates can be a good time, until someone shows up uninvited. When a college girl returned from a late night out, she noticed a man asleep on the couch. Thinking he was a friend of one of her roommates, she brushed it off and went to bed.
A few hours later she was awakened by incessant scratching at her door. She called her roommate to tell her that the friend was creeping her out, but her roommate had no idea who she was talking about. They never had any guys over. The man outside her door was an intruder, dead set on getting inside her bedroom. This young woman’s experience will make you double-check the locks on your doors—and sleep with a weapon!
The Smiling Man
One Redditor's late night neighborhood walk took a terrifying turn when a dancing man showed up in the middle of the street. The man was tall, his eyes were wide, and his smile stretched the width of his face. Just when it seemed as though the smiling man was harmless, he began chasing the Redditor throughout their neighborhood. The chilling experience will make you second guess getting in that late night cardio session.
Roommate Wanted: Female Only
You can’t always trust people you meet online. When a young woman looking for an apartment stumbled on a Craigslist ad for a female roommate, she jumped at the chance to check the place out. When she got to the house, she was greeted by a creepy man claiming to be the landlord. Red flags didn't really start to go off for the young woman until the “landlord” became eager to show her the basement. She then faked a phone call and left the showing. This turned out to be a real stroke of luck as, according to the Redditor who posted the tale:
"The house had been foreclosed over six months earlier and the property had been abandoned. When the police investigated, they found that the closed room the "landlord" didn't want her to look in was where the man had been staying. There was a pile of old dirty blankets, rotten food, and empty gallon jugs everywhere. More creepy was he had plastered ripped up pages from porno mags on ALL the walls in the room (where do they even find porno mags!?).
The really scary part of this was the basement. The man had tied a thin piece of fishing twine at about shin level across the stairs about halfway down. The basement was empty except another pile of old blankets, a broom handle wrapped in leather belts, and a small box with a few rolls of assorted tape (duct, electric, etc)."
The Creepiest Room Ever Found Under a Bride
Curiosity can get the best of you, and sometimes it can put you into a dangerous situation. When a group of friends from Wales, UK decided to check out what was inside a cement bridge, they were horrified at what they found.
Inside the dark, narrow walls of the bridge they discovered a room seemingly belonging to a very deranged individual. The Redditor's own words describe the situation best:
"In front of me was a single fold-away chair positioned facing a wall. On the wall was a partially torn page from a newspaper, or a magazine, showing a fully naked lady in an erotic position. The reason I don't just refer to it as 'porn' is because something was different about it; I can't put my finger on it but it seemed more sinister than sexy, if that makes any sense.
More disturbingly the eyes of the woman on display had been cut from the page. Removed with precision, not just hastily ripped off. The scene that lay before us had rendered us completely speechless, and an overpowering sense of panic could be felt collectively. That was when we found the condom. The horrendous, gut-wrenching, blood-drenched condom."
Understandably, OP and his friends high-tailed it right out of there.
The "One Who Got Away" from the Railroad Killer
Sometimes it’s hard to deny someone asking for help, but saying “no” saved one college student’s life. She was leaving campus one night when a strange man approached her. He asked to be taken to the hospital, but the girl said no. Months later, two kids from her college were attacked by a man in the same area, and one of them died. When the girl saw the assailant on the news, she realized he was the same man who had approached her that night. It turned out the man was Angel Maturino Resendiz, the Railroad Killer, who used the railroad system to commit 15 murders.

Summer jobs are supposed to be a mindless way to earn some money. However, one afternoon a 19-year-old junk removal worker got much more than he bargained for. While traveling to a watering hole with his boss in the Australian desert, they discovered a large blue shipping container in the middle of nowhere. Once inside, the discovered an entire office, including computers and surveillance equipment.
They made an even grislier discovery when checking storage boxes. Said the Redditor:
"It didn't take long for me to realise that the this box was full of posters, DVDs and photos, all of hard core child pornography. One thing that still gets to me is that it was all neatly ordered in to folders and smaller boxes… These people were organised."
They then fled to find help. When they later returned to the area with police, the storage container was on fire and all of the evidence was gone.
A True, Very Creepy Surveillance Story
