Late at night on August 15, 2019, two police officers in England were driving in an unmarked police car when all of the sudden right in front of them another car appeared. Both cars came to a screeching stop, and then one occupant from this other car got out of their vehicle, and one of the officers got out of their vehicle.

In the early morning hours of Saturday October 30th 2004, a man walked out of his suburban Virginia home and started walking down his driveway to get the newspaper. As he walked, he enjoyed the cool crisp air against his skin.

In 1984, a 19 year old hardware store employee named Jim, was walking from one end of the store to the other, when he noticed something odd in one of the aisels. He stared at it for a second, not really sure what to make of it, before turning around and walking back where he came from, to start telling staff and customers to evacuate. Little did Jim know, in a matter of seconds, that building was going to turn into a living hell.

In 1982, a young woman walked up a flight of stairs to her friend’s apartment, and knocked on the door. As she did, she noticed the little window on the door was broken. Worried something was wrong with her friend, the woman knocked again, this time a little louder, while also peering through the broken window to see if she could see anything. There was nothing really to see, but she could hear music playing inside. So after another minute went by and still her friend had not come to the door, the woman tried the door handle and found it was open. With her heart racing, the woman opened her friend’s door and stepped inside. A few seconds later, she would see something so horrible it would send her running back outside to safety.
