Once, an acquaintance added me on fb. When I clicked on her profile, it said she was in a relationship with someone. That someone was a fake account of me with my picture.
Was in high school, saw a really quiet girl who kept to herself. I felt bad because I had been that shy at one time. Struck up a conversation and she seemed odd but decent. Slowly over time she got weirder and weirder until she showed me her "art book" that was full of pictures of me, my name written all over the place, and pictures of my friends with their faces X'd out. She ended up stalking me relentlessly, calling my phone nonstop for weeks, she left tons of voicemails when I stopped answering that varied from apologizing to hating me for not answering. That was in 2001.
I ran into her again accidentally, at her work, in 2011. She immediately rushed over and started interrogating me. It was a fast food place, I left my food and never went back. Figured surely that was the end of it.
Nope, 2017 I signed up for jujitsu classes. After a few weeks I added some people from the class that I enjoyed to my facebook. Apparently one of them was her uncle, which caused her to almost immediately (within 10 minutes of him accepting the friend request) start messaging and cyberstalking me. Guess who suddenly became VERY interested in jujitsu? She did. I dropped out of the class. It's been 3 years since I've seen her, I'm pretty sure I'm due for another run in sometime in the next 2-4 years.
Everywhere you go, people are all around - but some leave a mark you just can’t shake. Sometimes, a person's attention crosses the line from curious to totally weird. Let’s dive into some stories where 'friendly' quickly turned into 'uh-oh.'
She befriended my younger sister just to get her to ask her to a sleepover.
I woke up in the middle of the night with her laying in bed with me.
I was 17 y/o
she was 13.
We were kids, early teens. I thought she was mad cute. She was telling me how once she pushed a boy she liked off the swings and he broke his arm. She was bragging about it. And she liked me now..
"Cool", I thought. "I will now proceed to never see you again".
I was bored once at a small, local festival and didn't want to be there so I just got a drink and started walking around aimlessly when I noticed a firebreather. The display was interesting and she was pretty hot, when she was on break she went to get a drink and we started talking. She seemed nice, we had a laughed but her break was up and she resumed her display so I left her to it and continued to wander around. 5 mins later security was called to her display...
Turns out some crazy girl whom I had never met before was following me around the festival and assaulted the firebreather, she had claimed that we (me & crazy) were together and firebreather was trying to break us up.
My first legitimate relationship was with a super clingy girl that knew way too much about my house after only being there like 3 times. Parents were out of town and we were sitting in the hot tub when the power went out. She said “oh you probably need to just reset the breaker, it’s in the laundry room on the left wall labeled ‘hot tub’.”
I’m like “how do you know that?”
She got nervous and was like “uhhh I dunno.”
I broke up with her after she started telling her family that we’re spending the rest of our lives together and saying stuff like
“When we get a house...”
“When we have kids...”
“When we get a dog....”
I met her on a dating app and only knew her for 3 months, but started showing all the creepy symptoms after 1.
1 month.
Turns out, being stalked or bugged by someone can happen to anyone, and it’s way more common than you'd guess. It usually starts small - like one too many texts or a surprise showing up - but can spiral into full-on 'creepy alert.' Buckle up!
Girl in my dorm. She had a crush on my roommate. My roommate clearly didn’t like and told her several times. Things got out of hand and there were times where my roommate would come running back to the room yelling “lock the door, lock the door” and moments later the girl and her friend would try to come barge in without permission.
What’s creepy is this next part. Apparently one night we accidentally left our room unlocked and she decided to sneak in. We didn’t wake up but her roommate told us what she did a couple days later. I haven’t seen her in about a year and I’m quite glad.
I started going to a new doctor, the receptionist was cute, so I flirted a bit.
In a waiting room, with other patients around. It was pretty innocent, she reciprocated, I figured it was all in good fun. She escalated a bit, stuff like scheduling me for days she was there, calling me directly with reminders, etc.
Then she went into the records, got my cell number, and started texting me. Telling me she wants to meet up, she's not happy with her husband, etc.
I noped out as fast as I could.
This girl followed me home after a date and stayed outside my house and when I came out the next morning and acted like it was Sooooooooo funny we bumped into each other.......I told her I will call the cops and she ran.
These stories come with all shapes and sizes of creepers. Sometimes it’s someone you barely know, or even folks from your own circle. Doesn’t matter who they are, when their behavior gets weird, it’s all about how it makes you feel - which can be downright scary.
I met a girl online. She seemed normal enough so we ended up going out for a drink. I found out that night that she actually lived an hour away in a rural town, but whatever.
Well, we went out, had a drink, then went to go play pool. We drove over in my vehicle and when we got to the pool hall she checked her phone and saw she had a text from her ex bf. She proceeded to cry incessantly. I was trapped...I didn't know what to do...so I offered to take her back to her car. She said she wasn't sure if she could drive and she asked if I would take her home. I declined saying it wouldn't be a good idea because:
A) Her car was like a mile away.
B) She lived an hour away.
C) How in the hell did she plan to get to her car the next day.
So she agrees for the night to end all the while apologizing vigorously. The next day she texts me, apologizes, and offers to buy me lunch. She seemed alright when we were getting to know each other and I was bored so I figured what the hell and gave her another shot. She brought her kids to the lunch. When I saw them get out of the car I texted her and said that it wasn't OK for me to meet them. She became irate and said her sitter cancelled at the last minute. Even though the drive was an hour long from her house she didn't find it important to ask if it would be weird for her kids to come. It was at that point that I stated I was no longer interested.
Now for the creepy part.
Two days later she texted me but I didn't respond. She kept at it and kept asking if I wanted to go out the next weekend. After multiple texts I messaged her and said I wasn't interested and I had plans to take my friend out for her birthday. This resulted in even more irate messaging about how she "wasn't comfortable with me going out with other girls" and so forth. This resulted in her getting blocked. Turns out she took a "guess" on where we would go (since there is was only one nightclub in the town) and she showed up. I had to tell the birthday girl that I was leaving and to call me when she was ready to go. My night was ruined. Birthday girl got home okay in case you're wondering.
But wait, there's more...
A couple of weeks after that there was an ice storm and the power had gone out in the area. I ended up going over to a friend's house to hang out since they had a generator. We were playing cards and enjoying ourselves. Suddenly I get a text from a number I didn't recognize.
"Are you alright? I'm really worried" the message read.
"I'm fine, who is this?" I replied.
"It's Creepy Girl" she responded.
I ignored it and put my phone down. The next message sent chills down my spine.
"I'm really worried! I'm standing outside your house and all the lights are off! Are you sure you're ok?!?!?!"
She had never been to my house and I had never given her my last name.
My final message before blocking her involved not contacting me or I'd call the police.
It turns out she was a secretary or something for a police department and she ran my tag to find out where I lived, drove over an hour to my house in the midst of an ice storm, then got a new number all so she could "check up on me."
EDIT - RIP Inbox...to answer a few questions:
* This all happened 6 or 7 years ago, so not recently by any stretch.
* While I can't prove she ran my plate, I was using a google voice number attached to an email address which didn't have any of my personal information and was used for this VERY PURPOSE! Jokes on me I guess.
* I found out she worked at the police department through simple conversation online. We talked for about two weeks before meeting so I knew where she worked among other things.
* I didn't turn her in and I won't. She was a single mother and the father of the kids was in another state. Turning her in would have gotten her fired and/or arrested. While I realize what she did was illegal I didn't feel it would be right to put those little kids through that.
* I have no idea what she did with the kids during the ice storm. Her parents lived in the area so I assume they went there.
* I have no idea where she is but I'm pretty sure she's no longer at the police department.
* I'm fine and haven't heard from her since. I also don't live at that house so surprise visits probably aren't a thing.
The scariest part? The weird attention can mess with your head big time. Anxiety, sleepless nights, and feeling like someone's always watching? Yup, that’s the ugly side of these bizarre encounters.
If you're lucky, you only get a few awkward moments. But for others, these creepy moments stick around, replaying in their minds like an unwanted movie marathon. It’s a wild ride of emotions nobody asked to join.
Some even face pretty serious effects long after the creepy moments stop. It's like the brain’s stuck on freak-out mode. So yeah, these stories might be funny or wild, but real-life creepiness isn’t a joke.
The bright side? Recognizing the red flags (like constant texting or showing up out of nowhere) can help you avoid turning into a full-on character in someone else’s unstoppable saga. Trust your gut, set boundaries, and keep yourself safe!
Luckily, many folks move past these weird chapters with help from friends, family, or just time. Getting away from the crazy, talking about it, and maybe calling in some pros can turn the story around.
Bottom line: creepy attention isn’t cool, no matter who it’s from. These stories prove it can happen to anyone and can go from odd to downright eerie. Ready to check out some of the wildest tales shared by these guys? Let’s go!
