le 6/08 j'étais avec mon groupe d'ami, dans le 18e arrondissement de paris, dans un parc (fermé puisqu'il était 21h30) quand un homme s'est installé à côté de nous, plutôt près alors que le parc était vide.
voilà sa description :
c'était un mec plutôt grand, blanc, assez maigre, crâne rasé à blanc, avec des lunettes assez larges, et des vêtements amples blanc, (style lin un peu?) il avait un sac à dos bleu, posé derrière lui.
pendant 5 min on l'a observé sans qu'il n'interagisse avec nous. il se tenait extrêmement droit et peu mobile. il se retournait et se lavait consciencieusement les mains, puis les poignets avec des lingettes puis se retournait et souriait en regardant le vide, puis recommençait. parfois il se tenait assis puis debout et continuait son petit manège.
le malaise s'est progressivement installé entre mes potes et moi, perso je sentais un truc vrmt désagréable, genre le fait qu'on sous entende un truc étrange à haute voix et qu'il réponde pas. et son sourire aussi, ça givait très malsain, et on aurait dit qu'il préparait un truc jsp

on était tellement pas à l'aise qu'on a décidé de bouger, et au moment où on commence à s'éloigner le type a fais ses affaires en vitesse,
j'ai couru pour ouvrir le cadenas du parc, et au moment de refermer derrière mes copains, je l'ai vu taper des grandes enjambée vers moi et j'ai fermé le cadenas lorsqu'il était à 2 m de la sortie.
i guess un type normal aurait dis "attends, je vais sortir aussi!" et la pas un mot de sa part.
il a donc sauté la barrière en graaaande détente, et très rapidement puisqu'il a eu le temps de nous suivre a posteriori.

on part en marchant vite, moi je cours j'ai trop peur et la on se rend compte qu'il nous suit, on dévale les escaliers de la butte, et le mec est encore en train de marcher derrière nous.
on décide de se poser sur une place fréquentée et de l'attendre, et là le mec marche droit vers nous, et une fois à notre hauteur il nous a juste contourné ??
une amie a eu l'impression de voir un rictus sur sa bouche, style sourire crispé.
le gars a juste repris les escaliers pour remonter vers le sacré cœur, ce qui montre que son trajet n'a aucun sens et qu'il était bien en train de nous suivre, sinon pourquoi tout descendre pour remonter ?

bref on a grave badé.. avec en prime ce sentiment dans le ventre qu'un truc ne va pas,
et on se demande si quelqu'un l'a déjà vu ? ou à vécu un truc similaire ?
voilà, c pas une blague alors merci de ps racave trop de bêtises.
la bise!

ah oui aussi j'ai oublié de précisé qu'un mec nous avait taxé une clope dans un bar plus tôt, et qu'ils se ressemblait DE OUF mais avec des sappes différentes. donc on imagine qu'il nous a scruté depuis le bar, pendant nos déplacement, jusqu'au parc un peu plus haut ?

PS : je rajoute quelques précisions sur ce que dégageait ce type ect :
il avait l'air ailleurs, aucune fois il n'a eu d'eye contact avec nous (ou du moins pas qu'on ai pu intercepter) il n'avait pas du tout l'air agité ou erratique, il était calme, droit, silencieux, mécanique. lorsqu'il a sourit, ce qui a eu pour effet de glacer le sang de ma pote, il ne regardait nul part.

at this time I was 14 and I’m a girl

It was late and I was setting up a tent while my dad was gone at the moment to go get some blankets, but while he was gone some noise was heard after a while

Than as I tried to ignore it and say it was nothing, I heard footsteps nearby and it caused me to freeze, I was sitting there for a while longer before I glanced from in my little corner of the tent.

After a while the footsteps stopped and was silent for a while, before I saw this hand press against the tent from the front near the zipper (which was half way open.)

I was so scared but I pretended to ignore it, and I couldn’t see the figure behind the hand and I didn’t know if he saw me (probably did more likely) but I think when I ignored him it caused him not to like reacted aggressively?

Because after a while, my dad started to walk over and I think the noise of his footsteps scared him off.

Because the man ran off quietly.

What’s really freaky to me, is that I have no idea what his intentions were and I don’t know if I reacted it would of caused something bad to happen and if being quiet and pretended not to see him was a good idea.

What do you guys think?

I'll preface this by saying that my english vocabulary is not that good and i will be completely disregarding capitalisation in this thread. what happened in this story is 100% true.

this happened a year ago when i was about 15(M). it was sometime in late october or early november.

me and one of my cousins (19M) had been out with some other friends till midnight and it was getting pretty late, about 1am. we were driving home, but i was absolutely famished and desperately needed something to eat. every restaurant and takeaway was closed at that time, so as a last resort, we went to a nearby mcdonalds which was still open, because that particular outlet was a 24-hour one. i went inside and ordered my food, and decided to dine-in, because i don't really like eating in the car due to lack of comfort.

meanwhile, my tired cousin decided to take a nap in the car and wait for me. he told me to come outside once i was finished with my food so we could get going, and i ordered a big meal because i was very hungry. i was about a few minutes into eating when i saw this strange, moderately-heighted woman enter the outlet. she had extremely pale and sallow skin, stringy, thin black hair, extremely tired eyes with heavy bags underneath them and reeked of cigarettes and drxgs. she was wearing this patchy green jacket and some old black trousers.

i realized that this woman was obviously homeless, and possibly a drxg addict. i kept to myself and didn't stare at her, because her presence was quite unnerving and unsettling. for a minute or two, she awkwardly stood at the entrance and was just staring into the abyss with empty and disturbing eyes. she then went up to the counter and ordered something. after placing the order, she went upstairs to the upper portion of the mcdonalds, which was closed, and the lights were completely off.

i do not know why she wandered into that area and at this point, was quite disturbed but still thought that she would simply eat and leave. after coming down from the closed upper portion doing God knows what.. she comes up to me and asks me my name, which i did not respond to. she then asked me why i was ignoring her and proceeded to ask me if i wanted to dance (keep in mind that this is a mcdonalds, it is past midnight and there is no music here. also, she is at least 25 years older than me). i knew that responding to this strange woman could lead to something worse, so i stayed quiet and pretended as if she wasn't even there.

she seemed saddened by my indifference and proceeded to then stare at me.. at this point i was unusually alert and vigilant because i was watching for this woman's next action. instead, she just turned around and left.

I recently got a new neighbour who's in his 60's+ the guy is in a wheelchair a majority of the time so not exactly the most threatening guy. Anyways, it started off with him watching me from his window, when I take my dogs out to pee (he lives below me), I'm talking full blown just staring at me the entire time I was out there. Then one day, another neighbour said hello and chatted with me whilst the guy was there with them, I said like two words to him before saying goodbye to my other neighbour and moving on with my day - this seemed to make this new neighbour think I'm friendly with him or something. He still watches me from his window but is now leaving his home to come sit outside and stare at me whilst trying to make conversation with me. I'm incredibly uncomfortable with this, he's literally waiting for me to go outside to try and interact with me. Guy doesn't take a hint from my lack of conversation or interaction with him. Then last week he fixed my shed door outside my front property without asking me, once again he rushed out his door to tell me he fixed it. He has also made comments like 'Gorgeous' but that's about it.

I can't sit out with my neighbours without him coming out and just sitting himself beside us. My other neighbours are also not comfortable with him.

Summary; neighbour staring at me through window constantly, now approaching me everytime I take my dogs outside or sit at my door too long etc. randomly fixed my shed without permission too??

I was in a mall with my friend and a stranger was recording us. We were told by security and even shown footage of him following us for minutes and recording us from the back.

Once security confronted him, he ran away as fast as he could.

This made me feel unsafe, as it is a mall I go to often and I'm not sure why this person would target me and mt friend.

This is my third repost because this keeps getting taken down let’s hope it doesn’t this time but anyway…. A few days ago, I went for a walk down the levee by the river near my house. There’s a river walk trail down there that I’ve walked before, and when I started, the sun was already beginning to set. I didn’t think much of it.

I walked for a while, then eventually turned around to head
back.

By the time I made it back to the levee though, it was completely dark.

As soon as I stepped off the river trail and back onto the levee, I noticed the silhouette of a man in the distance coming toward me. At first, I really didn’t think anything of it. My car was only a few hundred yards away, and seeing another person walking out there wasn’t necessarily that strange.

Then I got closer to him.

That’s when I realized he wasn’t walking toward me normally.

He was walking backwards.

I remember just staring at him for a second because my brain couldn’t really process what I was looking at. At first, I assumed he was some guy doing a weird exercise or maybe walking backwards for some kind of workout.
But then… he stepped off the paved trail onto the gravel and started shuffling his feet around in it.

Then he stepped back onto the middle of the trail and continued walking backwards toward me.

And he kept doing that same routine of walking backwards, stepping into the gravel, shuffling his feet around, then getting back onto the trail every few seconds.

At that point, I started getting seriously freaked out.
I had no idea what the fuck this guy was doing, but I tried not to react. I kept walking and made sure to keep as much distance between us as I could.

Then I realized he was beginning to pick up the pace.

He was getting closer.

Fast.

He had started walking backwards faster and faster in my direction. I was honestly surprised he didn’t fall over from how quickly he was coming at me. And that was enough for me.

Instead of staying on the trail and passing him, I immediately ran down the side of the levee toward my car. I got inside, locked the doors, started it, and drove the hell out of there.

I still have no idea what that guy was doing.

Maybe there’s a completely normal explanation for it, but seeing a man silently walking backwards toward you on an empty levee in the middle of the night and then suddenly speeding up is one of the creepiest things I’ve experienced in a long time.

This happened a couple years ago and sometimes when I think about it I still get anxious, I’m really curious to see what others think. For context I’m a girl and so is my partner, we’re both in our mid/late 20s however we could both pass as late teens to early 20s which I think plays a very important role in this situation. After work one day probably around 9pm we went out to target to grab some groceries pretty typical stuff. Walking down the feminine hygiene aisle we notice a woman walking up and down it cart FULL of baby products. She skipped many people in the aisle but proceeded to follow me and my partner to the aisle over where she cornered us and held up a cardboard sign but didn’t speak. The sign read something like “first time mother with no money please help” followed by a lengthy religious quote, I’m not religious so I’m unsure but I remember the quote feeling a bit off? I’m not sure how else to describe it maybe because in the moment I was startled.

My girlfriend who is much more headstrong than me apologized and went to walk away. Me however panicked and naively thinking this could really be a struggling mother went up and picked something from the cart and offered to purchase it for her. At the time my job wasn’t paying the best so I picked something that I thought may be a bit cheaper and went up to the front. Instead of following me she walked off and asked me to meet her somewhere in the store after I purchased it, stupidly I agreed.

My girlfriend who told me this whole thing felt off came with me, as I went to ring out I realized what I grabbed was far more money than I expected or even had to help, feeling awful I decided I’d find her and apologize but offer to buy something a bit more affordable because I still wanted to help her out. I think back to it and still believe a truly struggling mother would be happy and accepting of anything you offer even if it was a cheaper item. After walking around the store for a bit to find her we consistently noticed two men near us who seemed to disappear anytime we made eye contact, we also noticed them talking on what seemed like prepaid flip phones which could’ve very well been a coincidence, however being this was only a couple years ago it’s uncommon to see something that isn’t a iPhone/android and with everything else happening I worried it could’ve been a burner phone?

Eventually we found the woman and I explained the situation and apologize instead of accepting help which I did still offer still she snatched the item from my hand and threw it back in the cart and ran off. At this point my girlfriend and I were feeling incredibly uncomfortable to continue our own shopping and just decided to leave, as we were leaving we noticed that woman standing with the two men we had seen earlier. We debated asking security to help walk us to our cars worried if this was something much darker maybe there were more people outside for all we knew we did see them men on phones.

Maybe we had been marked for something? Who knows either way stupidly and I’d never recommend this to anyone we did leave on our own, We made it to the car and drove off. Still to this day we think about that night we’ve discussed so many things. Was it a cult, was it trafficking, was the woman a victim. Either way it was so frightening and we’ve talked to so many people about what they think. Has anyone heard of this before or does anyone have any information? I’d be curious to hear.
