Today, I was walking to the kitchen in the dark. Something caught my eye and I turned to see a man standing in the corner, clear as day. I jumped and closed my eyes for a split second. When I opened them, he was nowhere to be seen. I'm now terrified to live in my own home. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went downstairs a little after midnight to grab a snack, and in the dark hallway, I clearly saw a small child walk into the kitchen. I was freaked out, but I followed him in. There was nobody in the room. I'm now too scared to sleep, and am seriously considering moving house. FML
Today, I came home from work and went to open the door. I Iooked through the window and saw a man in my house. Terrified, I called the police. They came, searched the house, and found nothing missing. I went back inside and looked through the window and saw him again. It was my reflection. FML
Today, I walked into my near pitch-black bathroom and saw a person staring back at me. I woke my whole family up with my screams. The person was my reflection. FML
Today, I came home late from work. As I got out of my car, I noticed a child-shaped silhouette in my bedroom window. I almost shat myself, since I live alone. I searched the whole house, sobbing in fear, only to find no trace of whatever or whoever I'd seen. FML
Today, I faced my fears. I've always had a weird fear of looking out of windows at night, afraid a face would suddenly appear. When I heard a strange noise outside, I looked out the window. Sure enough, the face of a man suddenly appeared. FML
Today, I spent an hour in my car terrified to go inside because I thought my house was being burgled. I saw rapid shadows in the light of my lounge. Eventually I plucked up the courage to creep inside with a rock to find it wasn't a robber. It was my cats, fighting in front of a toppled lamp. FML
Today, after spending the evening with friends, I went home and realized that the living room light was on. Thinking someone was robbing me, I hid behind a bush. I got impatient and crept up to the door. Then I remembered that I'd left the light on before I left. FML
Today, I woke up to noises in my living room. I was scared, but I loaded my gun and snuck downstairs. I burst into the living room, yelled for the motherfucker robbing me to put his hands up, and flicked on the light. My cat stared back at me like I was a moron then calmly walked out. FML
Today, I was walking back to my home in the city in the dark. I'm paranoid, so when I saw movement behind me I clutched my mace. The faster I walked, the closer the person seemed to be. I spun around and sprayed my attacker with mace. It was my shadow and the wind blew the mace back into eyes. FML
Today, I was texting while walking up the stairs to my porch. When I looked up, I saw someone standing behind the porch door, and was so scared that I fell backwards down the stairs. Turns out, it was just my reflection. FML

no, a knife wouldn't have worked. by the time the OP would've grabbed either of those, he/she would've been shot/stabbed repeatedly by the man that was there, if he was actually there.

my friend, who won't even walk to my house alone because she is so scared of being kidnapped, would have probably fainted if that had happened to her.

Kinda random, but the power went out at my school and I had to go back to the locker room in pitch black to get my bag. One of my teachers gave me a flashlight, and I SWORE I saw a girl sitting in the corner! 0.o Turned out to be a shirt hanging up by some pants lol. Morale of the story: your eyes can play tricks on you, especially in the dark!

I see a women in white dress walk past my kitchen window quiet often. woke up the other day, she was beside. abit of a shock! didn't think I got that drunk the night before haha. but she was gone two seconds later
chingaso 0
295- why specially if she is a woman? What are you implying? That if shit goes down, men can beat a robber without a gun? Are you one of those people that think women should be allowed to carry tasers and shit but men aren't? Because those people shouldn't be allowed to vote.....

337 - Cuz if there's a guy trying to decide which house to go in and spy on the owner and maybe get a few pictures then he's probably gonna choose the chick's house over the dude's. And if there's a girl trying to decide which house to go in, the friends that she brought along will probably talk her out of it before anything serious happens anyways.

Gun no, knife yes. A person within 21 feet can get to you before you can pull out your gun. A knife however is faster quieter and just as deadly. As the old saying goes, 'guns for show, knives for a pro'.

Shut up all of you - you're not imagining or hallucinating you are seeing ghosts and you're just DEEP in denial about it.

I'm sorry, since when is seeing ghosts a religion 250? It can be associated with religion, but many Christians don't believe in ghosts as well as others do.

I was referring to being told I have to believe in ghost and not being allowed to have my own free thought on the internet

Crawling out of the TV? I think you're thinking about "The Ring". I sometimes mix horror movie together myself.(:

zombicidal 11
I don't think there should be an age line but rather an intelligence standard that requires a test in grammer, reading, and basic reasoning to prepare you for the world of opportunity on FML it'll be just like the ACT
guckylynn 19
Grammar.

204, how about just the basic reasoning part, but it is instead a test to be able to function in normal society?
