No, that creepy, spine-tingling gut feeling you get that tells you something is wrong isn't just you. Recently, I wrote about people sharing their stories of the scariest time they had a, "We need to leave... now" gut feeling, and they turned out to be right.
These stories were so compelling that many members of the BuzzFeed Community felt compelled to share their own. Here are the most chilling:
1."My now-husband and I got into an argument late at night, so I left my apartment at midnight to walk a lap around the block and cool off. I lived in a well-off part of town and thought nothing of it. On the other side of the road, a man was walking in the opposite direction and said hello. I waved and continued walking, but something 10 seconds later told me to turn around."
"I did, and he was now barely 15 feet behind me. I luckily was approaching the trash door to my apartment and booked it. By the grace of God, it was unlocked. I slammed it so hard behind me I hurt my hand. It still scares me four years later to think what could have happened had he gotten ahold of me."
2."My grandma and her friend drove to San Francisco together in the late '60s, young ladies in their 20s just wanting to make their way west and explore."
"They didn’t have any money; my grandma told me about sleeping on the wood floor in an apartment they’d sublet and using their suitcases for pillows. Her friend started hanging out with people in the hippie culture, especially these particular two girls who kept asking them to come visit their ranch. My grandma didn’t like their vibe, but the friend continued to hang out with them. Eventually my grandma went back to Minnesota because she wasn’t having fun.
The hippie friends my grandma’s friend was hanging out with? The Manson family."
3."Many years ago I stopped at a drug store on my way home from work. I needed to buy cough medicine for my 13-year-old daughter and some shampoo. While I was looking at the cough medicine, a guy walked down the aisle and stood a few feet from me."
"I felt something was off so I went to the shampoo aisle and he followed me. I then went to the feminine hygiene aisle and he followed me, standing a couple of feet away. It was fall, and dark out.
I rushed to the counter and checked out, then ran to my car. He followed me out and got in his car. I drove away with him following me. I knew I couldn’t go home because I was a single parent and didn’t want him to know where I lived.
Fortunately, my parents lived on the way home, so I drove to their house. I ran inside when I noticed my brother was visiting. He came outside with me, and the guy sped away. My brother was a 6’4" Marine. I was never so glad to see him."
4."My parents have a camper at a campground in the Berkshire mountains. It’s very rural and densely forested. One night, my sister and I drove their golf cart to a clearing to look at the stars. We both lay on our backs and looked at the stars for a bit, before I started to get this sinking, terrified feeling in my gut."
"Just then, my sister piped up and said, 'Why do I suddenly sense… BEAR.' I agreed, and we both jumped up and drove back to the campsite.
That place has two black bears around this year. We didn’t see one that night, but I think it’s because we both sensed it."
5."Back in the mid-'90s I was a DJ and played all kinds of clubs. I met up with a friend while I was playing a popular goth-themed nightclub in L.A. He met a smoking hot woman and spent most of the night talking and drinking. They exchanged numbers and she left."
"A couple of hours later we were leaving to hit an afterparty when he got a phone call from a nearby police station. That same woman was booked for DWI and was calling for a rescue. I thought it was weird and told him not to go.
Out of curiosity and desire for sex, off he went. The next day, he recounted how mellow she was about getting arrested, and to break the ice, he had said it could have been worse. She commented, 'At least they didn’t book me for the murders.' He blew it off as a dark sense of humor.
They got back to her place, and he immediately noticed she was heavy into satanism and the occult by the decor and weirdness of her place. Due to drugs, alcohol, and hormones, he ignored his gut instincts and moved forward."
"About an hour into sex, she freaked out — started screaming at him, hitting him, and telling him sex was a mistake. She chased him out of her apartment. End of the date, but not the story. A couple of days later, he called me up, totally weirded out."
"Apparently, she was on the news for killing a doorman at her building along with some neighbors and another gentleman caller she hadn’t gotten along with. Other murders down the road were linked to her as well.
We think my friend was spared because he was such a nice person, and she sensed that and could not justify his death. Either that or random luck. They say nice people finish last, but I’m glad my buddy is the exception to the rule. He’s always been kind and has always come to the defense of people when they are at their lowest. I’m glad he was spared."
6."I lived in San Francisco in the early '70s. My roommate and I had gone out to dinner and taken the bus. On the ride home there was a guy...[CLICK TO CONTINUE READING]
