Thread: Creepy People Encounters

Tweet

Horror and suspense movies are filled with the type of fictional characters we'd certainly never want to meet, but are there any acquaintances, co-workers, or just random people you guys have come into contact with at some point in your lives that really creeped you out? People who actually acted in a manner that scared you, or gave you an intuitive feeling that they might be bad news? (Stories you don't mind sharing, of course..) I've come across a few, ***brrrrrrrr!****

Well, of course no one as bad as Michael, Jason, etc., but yes, I have. Used to work with a guy who tried to make everyone feel as uncomfortable as possible at all times. He was a total @$$. I frequently aggrivated him when I would rip him verbally and he eventually learned to steer clear of me. I can be relentless. It takes a lot to aggrivate me to the point, but once you do... look out. I probably shouldn't have done that in hind sight. I might've become a rug or a lamp shade in the guy's apartment or something.

Back in a previous life(couple airlines ago) we had a guy that looked really evil.. sunken eyes, greasy hair, just creepy, real axe murderer look about him.. he was one of our pilots.. had to fly with him quite a lot.. I left that company long ago..

Fast forward 12yrs..I'm at my present airline, look thru the seniority list and who's there.. yep.. him again.. exactly the same sunken eyes, thick greasy hair, still looks like he just buried someone in the back yard, I dont fly with him (he on a differnet airplane), but he's just as creepy as before.. a lil moreso now cause of his wrinkles... think of the old man in Monster House.. thats him...

Funny you should ask...theres a guy across the street who live with his mother. He's been there for several years, but I have usually only seen him late at night when walking the "Poodle army". 9-10 nasty, yappy, ill tempered little bastards. Despite the lady saying they are harmless, they've tried to nip me before.(And she has way too many by city codes).
But I digress...he once told his mom I threatened to kill the dogs(what I said was, I was tired of them surrounding me in MY yard and yapping loud enough to wake my zombies, and that they should be on leashes.
But lately, hes been going from house to house "borrowing things". We didnt actually recognize him...hes lost weight and cut his hair weird. First it was dog food, then corn meal, then he wanted to use our phone. And our other neighbors have had him too...stick of butter from one the night he got corn meal from us. The weird thing is, all 4 neighbors who have compared notes all got the same vibe, independently of each other, which we all descibe as "Ted Bundy". We don't know why, but he's creepy...and most of us are halloween/renaissance festival/goth peple...it takes a lot to weird us out.

Is anyone missing from the neighborhood? All the animals are accounted for?

Several years ago I had a conversation with a patient at the hospital where I was working. Seemed a normal looking type, alert, responsive, and intelligent in conversation. Came to find out he was there because he had eaten his sister. It was a State Mental Hospital from which I am now retired. Like the old saying, "you can't judge a book by it's cover". That's probably the creepiest person I've met... so far.

Well so much for the sayin You can pick your friends, but ya cant eat'em..

Good. LORD, spookineer!!!! That's probably the creepiest person you've met?? Whew, I bet you have seen some weirdos...

granamyr, that's really strange, that sucks that dude lives RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, jeez! I'm sure I don't have to tell you to keep a close eye on him!

Good for you, H.Host!! I'm glad you gave that guy the what for! I can't stand people like that, I mean, good grief! Life's hard enough without somebody who has absolutely no right trying to make it harder on folks.



As a teenager still at home with my parents, I had this trampoline. Lived on it. One afternoon my best friend and I were out there, and this guy walks up and stands behind the hedges of the neighbor's yard looking at us for a bit. Then he walks up, asks directions for some place, I tell him to buzz off, and he goes away. Minutes later, he's back behind that hedge. My friend had her back to him, but I told her he was there. Then he comes back around, right up to my trampoline, pulls down his pants and starts- well you know..and asks us to come with him!!! SURE. We ran in the house, told my parents, dad calls the police, they come take a report, and after they leave my dad (you had to know my dad) takes off in the car holding a shotgun out of the driver's side window looking for this guy. For about 3 hours. Neighborhood folks might've pegged my DAD as the creepy dude that night.

Early in our marriage, my husband was in the service and gone to CA for annual training. We both waited tables at the same restaurant along with this other guy, who was super creepy. He kept showing up at our apartment when my husband was gone, I'd catch him looking at me funny at work. One of those kind of people that don't look away when you catch them looking at you, know what I mean? And one night I went to the drive-thru of a Taco Bell and he pulls up right behind me..staring right into my sideview mirror. I had my window down at the time and I heard him say (looking at me through the mirror), 'want some candy, little girl?!...' HUNH???! Gave me the willies! He was gone shortly after that, arrested for check fraud.


Capt'n Jack, I COMPLETELY do not blame you for not flying with that dude!!!

Well, our dog runs around loose and is fine.
As far as keeping an eye...well, as you probably can guess...WE are the neighborhood freaks, so, I doubt he would try anything here. Particularly since we have made a habit of showing off the sword collection since I moved in, and even the drug dealers don't really want to screw with us.
How about another?
Years ago, as a teen I worked for Burger King. We had a customer that weirded us out, a regular. It was just the way he acted. He pulled up, in the same car, with an older woman...65 or older. He got out by himself, came in, and, well, looked strange...hard to say why...a waxy rubbery skin, and kinda looked like he had makeup on. He always ordered a whopper with extra mayo. No matter how much I slathered on, he always brought it back for more.
Then, only after he got his food and sat down, did the old woman come in and order. They sat together, hardly speaking. Then she would go out to the car, and he would follow a few minutes later, and drive off.
I don't know why, but it creeped me out...wish I knew why.
