While Healing From A Breakup, She Began Receiving Strange And Frightening Phone Calls From A Mystery Man, And It Became Clear That He Was Watching Her
Two or three years ago, this woman was healing from an awful breakup. She had a tiny group of friends, and she didn’t have Facebook or any other social media accounts where she posted photos of what she was doing on a daily basis.
Not long after the breakup, she began getting strange, concerning phone calls, and she was positive that her ex-boyfriend wasn’t the one calling her.
“During the first call, I answered, and the person on the other end said how much they missed me. I asked who it was, and they said, ‘It’s me! Don’t you remember?'” she said.
She immediately hung up on the mysterious caller, and they called her again right away. When she answered, the person, a grown man, was sobbing about how she was “‘being mean'” to him.
She found the caller’s way of speaking strange because he was talking like a child of about 6-years-old, not an adult.
After hanging up one more time, they didn’t call back. In hindsight, she wished she’d blocked the phone number back then. But because she was occupied with the pain of her breakup, she wasn’t thinking clearly.
Unfortunately, the person continued calling as the days wore on. She stopped answering, but they would leave voicemails for her.
“They would leave messages saying how pretty I looked with my blue sweater that day. Or that they knew how I took my coffee now and said they would remember it for when we finally went out for a drink together,” she explained.
Every time she received a call or voicemail from this stranger, she would block the number, but they would call from a different phone number every time she did so.

Understandably, she started to reach her limit, so one time, she answered the phone and screamed at the person to go away before hanging up.
“When they called back, it wasn’t the ‘boy,’ but his ‘mother.’ She was very upset, said I was hurting her boy by not wanting to play, and could very clearly hear the ‘boy’ crying and screaming in the background,” she shared.
“At this point, it dawned on me that this wasn’t a joke, prank, or something. There was something seriously wrong with these people. And they were obviously watching me.”
For several weeks after her breakup, she lived in her car. Throughout this tough period in her life, she was barely sleeping.
She was so scared that she would suddenly awaken to the stranger standing outside her car, peering in at her through one of the windows.
Once she was able to find housing, the strange man called and congratulated her on her new place, telling her that “he couldn’t wait to come and play.”
She hasn’t spoken to the two strangers on the phone in a year. However, sometimes, after a hectic day at work, she looks at her phone and sees that she has 10 missed calls, and she’s scared to listen to her voicemails.
Unfortunately, the police haven’t been helpful when she reached out to them for help. They told her that because she wasn’t “‘explicitly threatened,'” all she could do for now was block the phone numbers from people who were trying to harass her.
She’s planning to change her phone number, but she doesn’t know if this will make the unwanted phone calls stop. Plus, she’s worried that this will infuriate the two people trying to scare her.
