She Was Chased Home By A Man On Rollerblades Who Then Stared At Her Through The Window
When you were a kid, did you ever have a scary run-in with a stranger that still makes you shudder to this day?
One woman had that kind of experience in her small hometown in Pennsylvania, and it sounds super creepy.
She was a little girl in the 90s and grew up in a small college town in Pennsylvania. She lived in a one-story house with her mom and brother. Their home was right around the corner from Indiana University.
Unfortunately, her mom wasn’t very good to her and her brother growing up. She didn’t have great parenting skills and often left her and her brother home alone, even when they were little.
One afternoon, her mom announced that she was going to the grocery store, which was about a 10-15 minute walk from their house.
“She asked me to go along, and I chose to stay home this day,” she recalled.
“I don’t remember specifically why. A few minutes after she leaves, I change my mind.”
She remembers looking out the window and seeing her mom and brother about to cross an intersection. So, she ran outside and called them to wait for her. But her mom instructed her to grab a jacket first.
She ran back into the house and quickly grabbed her jacket. But when she ran back outside, her mom and brother were gone and nowhere to be seen.

“I figured she got impatient and just left,” she explained.
“In my peripheral vision, I see a man. He’s younger, maybe [in his] early twenties, black trench coat, and spiked hair, and he’s on rollerblades.”
Instead of leaving her alone, the mysterious young man began to speed up on his rollerblades and started zooming toward her.
She was terrified and immediately began running towards her house, growing more scared as she heard the sound of his rollerblades getting closer.
When she finally made it home, she locked her front door and raced into the bathroom, where there was a spare piece of metal pipe. She grabbed it for defense before entering her room and hiding under her bed.
“I hear knocking and pounding at my front door,” she said.
“I was so scared. I thought, ‘This is how I am going to die.’ I just remember thinking, ‘If I am going to die, I am going to die fighting.’ I was going to hit him as hard and as much as possible.”
Finally, after a while, the knocking stopped. She continued to stay under her bed for quite some time, with her heart still pounding.
Finally, when she decided to crawl out of her bed, she turned her head and saw the young man staring at her through her window. She screamed and immediately returned under her bed.
She waited down there until her mom finally came home with her brother. She told her everything that had happened, but her mom didn’t believe her. The man must’ve left before she got home.
To this day, she still wonders what could have happened if that man had been able to get into her house.
Can you imagine how scary that must’ve been for a little kid?
