Have you ever felt a weird feeling that someone is watching you, even when you’re completely alone? You know, you’re on your own, minding your own business, but feel like something is not right like there’s a tangible sense of somebody’s presence in the room.
Sometimes people randomly feel this way and get this strange, eerie feeling like they’re being watched. Sure, most of the time it’s your imagination playing tricks on you. But what if it isn’t?
In fact, there are countless creepy stories out there where people experience the weird sense of being watched — sometimes by someone and sometimes by something unexplainable. The following tales in this article might make you question whether you’re ever truly alone.
Online Stalker
One of the most popular scary stories about being watched is about a girl called Jenna who seemed to be stalked online. Sometimes she would get messages on her social media from an anonymous account. It started with harmless texts, such as that the person saw Jenna at a coffee shop or that she wore a red dress yesterday.
Soon the text messages got more detailed and concerning, like she was seen walking home or that the person who was texting her was outside her home. With all this, she got the eerie feeling that she was being watched constantly. One night she got a text from the same anonymous person saying to turn around and to her horror, there was a figure standing outside her window. Being frightened, she called the police but by the time they arrived, the figure had disappeared.
The worst part is that while this particular one might be just a story, anonymous stalkers are common in the digital world. That’s why it’s so important to use only reliable platforms like InstaCams, especially when you plan to have one-to-one live interactions with strangers. This way, you can avoid the potential risks that come with anonymous messaging.
The Creepy Neighbor
The next horror story is about a woman named Lila. She loved her everyday life, especially when she would read books beside her window. Even though this was her favorite activity, she always felt like someone’s eyes were on her, that she was being stalked. Still, she always tried to convince herself that it was all in her head.
One night, she noticed the shadow of a man near her porch. As a result, fear inside her started to grow but somehow she gathered courage and decided to face the person she believed was stalking her. It turned out to be her neighbor, Mr. Jensen. When she approached him, he gave her a creepy smile and denied ever stalking her. But what happened next was even more chilling.
The next morning, Lila saw a newspaper with a picture of Mr. Jensen with the same creepy look. And you know what was the scary part that put her in complete horror? The picture was dated from 1985, which meant that Mr. Jensen had been dead for decades.
The Attic Presence
According to this story, some people might even be watched inside their houses. Ethan was cleaning out the attic of a home that he had inherited recently. While cleaning, he was randomly searching through old boxes when he noticed an old, ornate, very beautiful mirror. He liked the mirror but somehow it seemed strange and out of place, like it didn’t belong to the house. Feeling this way, he took it down the stairs.
Later at night, while he was lying in bed, he accidentally glanced through the mirror and he got shocked when he saw a silhouette of a person. He turned to look, but there was no one so, still very frightened, he went back to sleep. The next morning he saw the mirror shattered and through the pieces, he found a note that said that someone was seeing him. While in complete horror, he realized he wasn’t home alone.
The Forgotten Child
Finally, it seems like scary things happen even to people who are supposed to be happiest. A young couple, Sarah and Tom, had just had a baby and they were filled with love and excitement about the news. But soon they noticed that some eerie happenings were taking place in the baby’s room. For instance, they used to hear some strange sounds, but whenever they would check, there was no one in the room.
Frightened, they decided to install a baby monitor so they could find out where these strange noises were coming from. When they checked it out, they saw a strange small child figure lurking around, creepily watching their baby. In complete panic, they rushed into the baby’s room but it was already empty. The baby was sleeping peacefully so they thought something unusual or paranormal was hunting their house.
Bottom line
As you can see, social media is full of scary stories about being watched. When we just try to get through our day and do our usual stuff, someone might be sitting in a corner watching our every move. No one knows if those stories happened for real but if you get a feeling that sometimes you’re not alone and someone is there with you, it’s always best to stay cautious and trust your instincts.
