What was the scariest, creepiest, or most unsettling experience of your life?

15 years old.

I just got home from work, so I went to my bedroom to change out of my work clothes and get ready for bed.

I'm in the middle of undressing when I look to my bedroom window to catch my reflection,

and I see a man's face.

I drop to the floor and turn off the lights, scrambling to get dressed, still watching the window.

The face is gone, but I'm still watching. Then, a freaking camera. No face, just a camera pointed

at me sitting on the floor. I bolt from my room and tell my mum and brother. My brother went

outside and our ladder from the backyard was just laying there, but nobody around. Couldn't sleep

for a year after that, just stared at that window.

Haven't thought about this in years until now.

When I was around 16, my rapidly growing family finally moved from the house I'd spent my

entire life in.

As you'd expect, we spent a lot of time fondly remembering things we used to do in the house,

as we were packing everything up.

At some point, I decided to go into the downstairs closet with a flashlight and read,

something that I'd used to do when I was younger to get some peace and quiet.

Now, this is one of those very deep closets that goes under the stairs.

It went back about eight feet and then had a left turn into a very low, maybe three foot high space. This space was largely occupied by a mountain of old blankets and stuffed animals.

Of course, this is the most fluffy spot to sit in and read.

About an hour in, I shift a little to get comfortable, and I hear a low, slow, warped,

hoarse voice say, you'll always make me happy.
