Hi, Ottings. This is the Something Scary podcast. I'm your Atte Sapphire. Having your privacy invaded is one of the worst experiences, whether it's your home or your mind. Before listening any further, I recommend double checking that the doors in your house are locked, assuming that nothing's already

inside. First, we'll listen to an eerie 911 call, then we'll try to avoid the man outside trying to get in.

After that, we'll uncover a dark secret at a summer vacation home, and finally, learn why it's best to never open the door

at night. I receive hundreds of amazing story submissions every single week. As always,

the first story you hear is one that I've chosen to animate and post over at YouTube.com slash

snarled. Then I read a few more stories for the podcast. If you have a

tale you're dying to share, send me an email at something scary at snarled.com. And if you'd like to

support the show and receive bonus content, consider joining our Patreon. Our patrons play a huge role in keeping the show running every single week.

So, want to hear something scary?

I'm a 911 operator.

The following story comes from the No Sleep subreddit written by username Higgs Thunder.

911, what is your emergency?

Yeah, hi. This is going to sound kind of strange, but there's a man stumbling around in circles in my front yard.

Um, could you repeat that, sir?

He looked sick or lost or drunk or something. I just woke up to get a glass of water and heard snow crunching around underneath my front window,

so I peaked out. I'm looking at him now. He's about 10 yards away from my window. Something's not right. What is your address, sir? Um, 1617, Corey Lane in Pinella Pass. I'm going to send a squad car

your way, but that's quite a ways out. Are you alone in your house, sir?

Yes, I'm alone. Can you confirm that all of your doors and windows are locked? Stay on the phone with me. I know that my front is definitely locked, but I'll go check my back door again really quick. I appreciate your help, by the way. I know this is kind of strange, but I really hope that... Sir, are you still there? He's still in the yard.

But he's, what the hell he's I really hope that... Sir, are you still there? He's...

He's still in the yard.
