Babysitting night
5 December 2025 J.W.H

ABOUTon Saturday evening I took care of this little boy. I told him it was time to go to bed and put him in his room. As soon as I put him to bed he started screaming so I told him I would stay there until he fell asleep. He didn't stop talking, he just stopped and looked out the window. He started crying and I felt strange, like someone was watching us through the window. As terrified as he was, I told him he could sleep in the living room with me (with the TV on!). We saw a full room and someone started knocking on the kitchen door. It was 10 p.m. at night and I guessed it was the parents. I thought that was the end of this weird night, but then I stopped walking. I never saw any lights coming into the driveway or heard a car approaching. I looked through the peephole and there was no one there. The little boy started crying again, so I called his parents. They said they would be home in half an hour. Relieved that it was almost over, someone started knocking on the window! The little boy started crying harder. I tried to be an adult and not be afraid, but it was really tough! Reassuring him, I told him that Mom and Dad would be home soon. Well, his parents came and paid me.

I went outside to my car and noticed something moving. I'm not sure what it was, but I'm pretty sure. I looked over and saw a man laughing at me and he just turned and walked away. It was one of the scariest nights of my life. A month later the family moved out, they said they had been seeing this man. They said this man always laughed at them.
