What's the most terrifying thing you saw in the safety of your own home?

Somebody tried to break into the house while I was by myself.

The whole place was quiet and dark at night time.

I walked past the front door to go upstairs for bed,

and the handle suddenly started jerking around like the Hulk was trying to get in.

Then whoever it was started to either kick or shoulder the door,

and it was making

the whole frame jiggle. I completely froze and my mind went blank. I was just standing there

like an idiot and staring. My dog bolted down the stairs like it was her time to shine, scrambled

on the tiles and let loose the most vicious barks I've ever heard. Whoever it was left. She was a very good girl. I miss her.

When I was young, I came home from a party in the middle of the night when my dad was out of town.

I started making a midnight cassidia when I heard someone cough in the basement. I yelled and ran

outside and they took off through the backyard. I came to find out my dad's ex-girlfriend's daughter

stole her key to our house and came to rob us. She was busted a couple of years later doing this

to her sister-in-law. I was just chilling on the couch, doing whatever, when suddenly a really

heavy person started sprinting in our attic, sounded like steel-toed boots and everything. I'm a really small woman,

so I immediately freaked out, thinking there was a gigantic man stomping around my home. Then the

screaming starts, literal freaking screaming, like something from the exorcist, and there's multiple

voices. I snuck outside and cried, extremely shaken, and called the cops. Guess what's in my attic?

Not a big grapey grapist? No, it's raccoons. Also, the raccoons were mating. That's what the

screaming was coming from. I went crying to the cops about Randy raccoons. I was home for the

weekend from uni, but my parents and siblings were away, so I was home alone.
