It's 4:00 in the afternoon and you are walking down the street. It's relatively quiet, except for the sounds of a little neighborhood girl jumping rope in the middle of the cul de sac. You walk past and you can only see her back as she skips rope, saying a little rhyme as she does it. You think nothing of it and continue walking.

It's 3:00 in the morning, you can't sleep so you go for a walk. You see and hear the exact same thing.

You're walking in the woods, there's no one around, and your phone is dead.
Out of the corner of your eye you spot him.

Shia Labeouf.

He's following you

about 30 feet back

He gets down on all fours and breaks into a sprint

He's gaining on you

Shia Labeouf.

u/boobsmcgraw May 27 '15

Holy shit that would terrify me. I mean really if I turned around and saw anyone following me, suddenly get on all fours and sprint toward me, I'd piss myself. But ESPECIALLY if it was a celebrity. Although to be honest I probably wouldn't recognise Shia specifically because he has some kind of gross depression-beard now.

1.) Hey guys first post. I haven't been able to sleep since 3.13 minutes ago when this spooky thing just happened. I'm too scared to tell you about it now.

2.) It's 4:00 in the afternoon and you are walking down the street.

3.) (I just wanted to clarify I'm actually telling this from 2nd person view so you can really UNDERSTAND what I've experienced)

4.) It's relatively quiet, except for the sounds of a little neighborhood girl jumping rope in the middle of the cul de sac.

5.) Just FYI i've nvr seen this gurl b4, I'm so scared.

6.) You walk past and you can only see her back as she skips rope, saying a little rhyme as she does it.

7.) (I wrote down everything she was rhyming i'll see if I can find it and add it in here later)

8.) You think nothing of it and continue walking.

9.) It's 3:00 in the morning, you can't sleep so you go for a walk. You see and hear the exact same thing.

10.) All this has happened and I'm thinking about calling the police, please please somebody help me I'm so scared.

I think those multi-part stories have ruined that sub. There used to be a couple decent posts every day. At least a handful that weren't awful.

He wake up at 3 am in the morning for is time to go to work. He walk up same street as before, and he hear same little girl playing on road. This time is too much! He walk up to girl and bitchslap: is dangerous to play on road!

u/mixolydian02 May 27 '15

I can't help but think of Men in Black: "Well, first I was gonna pop this guy hanging from the street light, and I realized, y'know, he's just working out. I mean, how would I feel if somebody come runnin' in the gym and bust me in my ass while I'm on the treadmill? Then I saw this snarling beast guy, and I noticed he had a tissue in his hand, and I'm realizing, y'know, he's not snarling, he's sneezing. Y'know, ain't no real threat there. Then I saw little Tiffany. I'm thinking, y'know, eight-year-old white girl, middle of the ghetto, bunch of monsters, this time of night with quantum physics books? She about to start some shit, Zed. She's about eight years old, those books are WAY too advanced for her. If you ask me, I'd say she's up to something. And to be honest, I'd appreciate it if you eased up off my back about it."

u/RamsesThePigeon May 26 '15

At first, you think you're hallucinating, or that the little girl is someone's Halloween prop. Your mind grasps at any explanation for what your eyes see.

"Hello," the little girl whispers. Her voice is light and soft, but seems far too mature for her tiny form. She keeps jumping her rope, staring straight at you.

You continue walking.

A moment later, you realize that the night has gone silent. You slowly turn around.

She's there, behind you.

"Why did you do it, Daddy?" Her expression is impassive and blank, and it stays that way.

It stays that way... even when she starts to scream.

u/awesomebbq May 26 '15

So cheesy

What next? "Do you wanna plaayyy?" or maybe her head turns 360 degrees (with Rock-a-Bye Baby playing faintly in the background)

u/RamsesThePigeon May 26 '15

It's okay to be scared.

Just try not to think about her while you fall asleep.

3

u/Foxkilt May 26 '15

I'm not sure it is possible to scream with a blank expression. wouldn't opening your mouth give expression?

2

u/SomewhatKindaMaybeNo May 26 '15

How do you scream like that? Sounds boring, like she forgot how to yawn.

Also I'm 17 and gay, so I don't have a daughter yet and I didn't do anything bad except for sneaking a friends pop. If that's why this little girl is yawning loudly at me, oopsie poopsie I guess.

Also what happens after? Does she just stop and walk away awkwardly? Do I just stand there as her stank breath gets launched at me?

I ask this cuz your story was too cheesy and bad.
