She Was Having A Sleepover One Night At Her House When She And Her Friend Noticed A Guy Crouched In The Shadows Of Her Backyard
The idea of someone lurking outside my house while I sit inside with no idea what’s going on has always freaked me out.
One woman remembers unexpectedly seeing someone in her backyard late at night as a kid having a sleepover.
She was 11 years old and the time and had one of her friends over for a sleepover. It was the first sleepover she had ever hosted at her dad’s house, so she was super excited.
She and her friend were hyped up on a bunch of sugary soda, so they were still wide awake at 10:30 pm.
Around that time, her dad stepped outside onto their front lawn to take a phone call. Since they were super hyper, they followed him outside and played on the front lawn for a while.
Then, when they were ready to go back inside, they hopped her backyard fence and went into the house from there.
She and her friend went up to the second floor of her house to play around with some makeup. About 30 minutes later, she heard her two dogs, a German shepherd and a pitbull, barking from the backyard.
She assumed they were barking to be let inside, but her dad was still out front, so she headed downstairs to let the dogs in.
But when she got downstairs, she saw something shocking.

“I went to my back door to open it, and I see a man crouching by the back gate, staring at my back door,” she recalled.
“He was next to the side of the gate that we had previously jumped.”
Unsure of what to do, she checked to ensure her dad was still in the front yard as her friend kept an eye on the mysterious man.
Her dad was safe and sound on their front porch, yet she didn’t call out and tell him about the lurker for some reason.
“For whatever reason, I did not tell my dad that this man was in our backyard,” she said. “Instead, me and my friend watched him out there for about twenty minutes. After these twenty minutes, he [moved] across the street and crouched next to a car for 5 minutes.”
Eventually, the man made his way from the car back to her gate. She didn’t want her dogs to stay out there with him, so she turned on the backyard light and opened their dog gate so they could come inside.
After a few more minutes of watching the guy near her gate, he stood up, and she realized he had been holding an object which appeared to be a metal pipe. That’s when she and her friend made sure the back door was locked and finally ran to alert her dad.
Can you imagine seeing something like that as a little kid?
