I was lucky nothing every happened to me, but there were some close calls and STRANGE encounters.
When I was about 11-15 yrs old this old pervert that lived around the corner from us used to follow behind me in his big white van really slowly. He must have been about 45 if I had to guess, and really creepy looking. Whenever he would see me he would immediately slow down and drive behind or beside me and roll down his window and just stare. Sometimes he would mumble stuff but it always made me nervous so I would speed up and then go through the park where he couldn't drive.
One time he caught me at night walking home alone and did his same routine but this time got out of his van and started coming towards me. I RAN all the way home.
Nothing every happened though.
Another time I was about 16-17 and I got a part time job. I was leaving late one night and had to get the bus across the street. There weren't that many people out at the time. As I was walking to the bus some man slowed down, rolled down his window and kept asking me if I wanted a drive. I said no and continued walking faster. He didn't give up for a while, and then I ran across the street. He went past me and then did a U-Turn and came back again, but this time slowed down and kept saying GET IN THE CAR and proceeded to stop and open his car door. He didn't have visible license plates on the car, because I was going to get ready to write them down.
I noticed a man further ahead on the sidewalk and ran up to him and told him what was going on. He wasn't very old himself maybe 19-20. He could tell I was shaken up and offered to stay with me until my bus came.
A very close call, I think. I had only been working at this place for a few days and never went back again. I was too uneasy about what had happened that night.
Also a couple of yrs ago I was out jogging at night around the baseball park. This guy was skulking around and then when I came around again I didn't see him. Then I spotted him behind the trees
holding SOMETHING in his hand looking over at me. Yeah you can guess what it was!!
I pretended like I didn't see him and picked up the pace around the park. Then as I came around again he ran out of the bushes, down the bridge and down the street.
Who the fuck does something like that? :bugeye:
