Not Alone at Night

Alba moved to a new neighborhood where she soon started to get to know one of her neighbors, but from a distance, she was not prepared for what she was about to find out. My name is Edwin and here is about true scary story. In two thousand and eighteen. One time I was having dinner with my boyfriend and I told him, Hey, we've been in a relationship. How about us moving in together. Looking for a house was not easy. We were looking for a house where they were pet friendly, and it took us about two three months to find a place. We started about November two thousand and eighteen. We won an area that was very safe, so finally after the holidays we found the place. We came to see it, we set up an appointment with the owner. We submitted our application, and a few weeks later we got noticed that we got approved. The ladies sounded very delighted since we had good credit, we had good jobs, and I was working as a teacher for a company. And the end of the year, I decided to change my lifestyle and I wanted to start working at night and sleeping in the morning. So I resigned my job and I wanted to do something different. I started getting to know the area where I lived. A lot of friendly people around me. I got comfortable after I want to say, two three months. It was a very safe area. It started happening around I want to say September of twenty nineteen, at the end of the year, because that's when I started working at night. There was times what I wake up and I started walking my dog around the corner. I started from about one mile and I extended it to two miles because I saw people walking their dogs. So I said, I'm going to make this walk a little bit longer. And I started noticing in the corner this lady. She would always wave to me. I started noticing her at me when I would go to work at two three in the morning, or walking my dog. One time I was walking my dog, my brown dog, Godro, and I noticed when we would walk, he would always have his tail wagging. When he takes for walks, he gets very excited. He loves shaking his tail when he's ready for a walk. For some odd reason, every time we hit a certain corner, he go down his ears and his tail will go like he would didn't want to walk no more, and I looked up and there was the lady that was waving at me. She would always wave from the opposite side of the side street, So if I was on the right, she'd be on the left. If I was walking my dog on the left, she'd be on the right. And I started noticing that she would just wave. So I noticed that she had a cane, because the way she was walking with it, it seemed like it's a somewhat of a person that can potentially be blind. I don't want to speculate, but I think she was a blind person. So she would wave and I would wave back. But I started noticing something strange. She would wave at me and opposite houses. So I tell myself, why is she always in different houses? How come she's never in one house? Why is she roaming around at two, three, four in the morning? Where are her kids? Where are her family members? Why is she roaming around so late? I think when I will pass by, she will just hear me and she'd wave. But I can never really see her face. Her eyes were always looking down. She had it was always like a pajama type. Her face was always covered and if she was going to sleep, and she was always wearing like a long rope. It started being like that from twenty nineteen to early twenty twenty. Same thing. I'd go to work, she'd wave at me. I'd wave at her back. When I would come out of work, I'd be home around seven eight in the morning, and I see her with the same clothes. Who is she? I did a different approach the next three years, and I started walking around to see where she would live in the daytime, because I was very intrigued with her. That she was one of the friendliest neighbors because neighbors. Some neighbors say hi, some neighbors don't say. But she made me feel comfortable that at two, three, four in the morning, me getting out of work or walking my dog, I can feel comfortable. But I started noticing a pattern of why is it that when I walk my dog in her before I go to see her, or she waves, he gets very scared. He makes like a moaning, like a cry noise, his toil goes down, and he doesn't want to continue his walk. When we passed that area, I would see her in different houses again. I started getting very curious on why she was always in different areas. I'm like, I don't want her to something to happen to her. These neighbors can get upset that she's passing private property. But for some reason, the houses that she was always in were always gated. But I can see her from the gate from far away. She never was in an area that they didn't have a gate. For some reason, she'd always be on a gate area. So when I try to move forward with her to say, she wasn't there anymore. I looked down. She waved at me and I said, let's go. Let's go, God, you let's go. Walk. When I try to approach her, she was in there. I'm like, I don't understand how a lady that's older can move that fast. This has been happening for a while, I want to say three years. One time I was walking and I just this kind of tripped me out because she started doing in twenty twenty two, she started doing something different. It looked like she was on a suck on the air. That's when I really freaked out. And she looked like she was flying. And my dog will get scared, he will not feel comfortable. And my walks and I were not the same anymore. Who is this lady? Why is she paying a pank of me. Who is this? It was around September October of twenty twenty two, just recently, where I said, somebody's playing a prank on me, because how is this person going from the floor to flying? Is she getting on a like a like on a moving chair or something. I started getting scared. I didn't feel safe walking my dog anymore, and for a couple times I didn't even want to go to work at night anymore. I was walking my dog in the daytime and I told one of my neighbors, Hey, can I ask you a question? She said, yeah, go ahead. Are you familiar with this area where I live? I've been here about three years. Yeah, I've been here about twenty years. I'm like you, She's like, you're the one that walks your dog and I sometimes yeah. I'm like, I'm a very prefairly person. I like to wave with my neighbors just to be on the safe side. I'm like, where's this lady that she usually comes out at night and she's blind and she has a cane and she's always looking down. She waves at me at night, But I've noticed that she's always in different houses. Who is she? I'm couraged to know who she is, because I don't know why she's out at night, or I don't know if she somebody's trying to play a prank. She asked me, why do you say that? At first I just was, Hi, how are you? Who are you? But she won't never say anything. But I started tripping out when she started moving. If she was like on a bicycle or something, I don't know, a scooter. I found that very odd. And she's just a very I asked her. And she's just a very like athletic person that likes to explore a night or is that her way of venting at night? And she goes, what can you tell me where? She's at a roughly abound house and I said, she's usually in those houses in the corner by the park. And she's like, oh, you seen her too, Yes, I've seen her too. She's that's miss Slope Stope has been there for about six years. I haven't seen her no more. The neighbor said, you're not gonna see Mestopa no more. A couple of people have seen her around here, but alas experiences didn't stop there. She would soon have another encounter, but this time during her night job. Her story is coming up right after this. I was working as a teacher for about two three years, and when I moved into my own place, I said, hey, why not make some extra money? And a friend of mine said, why don't you do Since you're a really good driver and you're off on the weekends, why don't you do what I'm over. I have her stories how the customers can be very picky, demanding or throw up in your car. Then my fear was that they leave me a bad start, knowing that I'm just a very failing person. Why would they want to do that? So that was one of my phobias that I had, So I said, why not let me start it? So I started about twenty twenty one and started doing it on the weekends. I was working my side hustle at this time. I was pretty much self employed already. But I'm only getting paid once a month. I need something that's going to pay me at least every week. So I started doing it on the weekends in the morning, and I started liking it. I pick up very friendly people want it to write Hi, how are you greeting me? Your car is very nice. I like how you're driving. You're a very nice lady. I don't know. I can think because I like to. I want to say that I like to talk a lot, so that's why I build up a relationship with the customers. Slash writers tell that some of them don't like to talk. So anyways, I started liking it and I said, hey, I like this. I think one of my friends told me you should do it on Friday, Saturdays or Sundays between two in the morning three in the morning, when people are getting out of the bar slash clubs. That's when right now they're starting to open up the restaurants. Now of twenty twenty one, the pandemic had in hand no more, so I said, she goes, you should start picking it up. And the seargia is just very very high right now. Around that time, I left my house around twelve thirty one and I decided to go on the proceed around the sang Geo area. When I had a request for a young gentleman. He had three passengers and I at that time nobody can go on the front, and I said, okay, I'm picking up three people. Carpoot was in a lot at the time. I said, okay, let me pick up this gentleman, he's waiting at this restaurant and let them get in. So I get the ride. I go pick up the person and they're like, Hi, how are you? This is Alba and they said and I said, are you the person that's looking for a ride? I gave the person's name, said yeah, that's me. It's two of us and myself. They said okay, one of them. They seemed happy and laughing, and one of them was trying to go on the front, and I said, can you place it in the back. You can't come in the front to COVID restrictions, and he ignored me. So I was like, okay, fine, he ignored me, and then he decided to sit there. And then I was like, oh, it's not a big deal. As I started driving, I noticed that the person in the front wasn't there no more. I said, all I must have blindsided when he went to the back, So I said okay. Then he decided to just go to the back after all. So the three guys were we were driving, They're like, okay, we're ready to go home. We're gonna ride. It's about thirty minutes away. Can you drop us off at this location? We're gonna go have Dennis and Inspire our house. And I said fine, yeah, and we were listening to music driving. They were laughing, they were having conversation. Then as the three of them were driving, I told them, can you put your sepo answer? I asked nicely for safety reasons, and they just ignored me. And I said, okay, maybe they're not hearing me. And I turned around and I told one of the passengers, sorry, sir, I would really like if you can just put your seats, like, what are you talking about, miss Alba? I have my sepa on, Like okay, I'm just tripping. I kept driving. I kept looking at the real mirror. I kept looking in the front and I said, how come somebody's in the back my car. It's a hash car where you can flip and then if you look through the trunk you can see the window. It's hard to explain, but I kept driving and I told the guy, why are you on the back? Can you please come to the front. You shouldn't be in the back driving like that. What are you talking about? One of the passengers said, it's only three of us. I said, you know what, I'm just gonna drop you off. I don't want to have any trouble. It's three of you, but you guys are getting loud and I don't know if you guys are going back in front of jumping, but you shouldn't be doing that because for my own safety, I don't feel comfortable you guys doing that. I kept driving. I see the three passengers and I see something in the back, somebody waving their hands. I said, this is this is not I don't feel safe anymore. I'm gonna pull over and in the right what are you talking about? Miss? Why are you tripping? You guys are playing with me and it's dark, My car is dark, and I can see that one of you keeps jumping back and forth in the back and I don't think it's funny because this is gonna non sense. This has to stop. I think you're tripping Alba like it's only the three of us, and I'm like, no, I don't feel comfortable. I'm gonna end the right the drive either. I don't know how you guys are jumping forward doing this, but it's not funny, Nomore, but it's only three of us. What are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying. Somebody keeps going to the back and jumping, and you guys are playing again. Did you guys sneak somebody in without telling me? I was blindsided that I noticed that you guys didn't want to pay, probably for a bigger car. Miss you're really tripping. It's only the three of us, No, it's not. Somebody's in the back and I'm on the freeway and I'm gonna have to pull on the next exit because I'm not liking this. Why I knew that when I told the first guy not to go on the front, that you guys were gonna sneak him in or I don't know, I am tripping, like that's how I was thinking. I decided to exit the freeway and go on the next stop, and I decided to go in a safe area because I pretty much have three young people yelling at me and getting a little bit hysterical and loud, and they started getting very offensive, like we're paying for this drive, and I'm like, I swear it felt like that right took forever that I couldn't end it. I didn't want them to attack me on the back. So I've heard some stories where the driver gets attacked and I wanted to be as professional as I can, knowing that this might cause me to either get a bad rating or possibly lose my job because I was just very stressed out and nervous because somebody was in the back. They will pop up, wave and then lay back and then they were all laugh The guys were laughing while they were telling their story. So I'm saying, they want to play a prank on this lady, which is me. They thought that they will get away with not paying an extra passenger when my car only fit's three people. I pulled to the side and they said. I told them I'm going to end the ride right now. You're gonna have to get another uber. What are you talking about, miss, it's only three of us. I'm like, no, my car is a big car, and I know that you guys have somebody back. They're all just to not pay an extra person. I cannot have nobody in the back. I'm gonna pulled over and check who's in the back. I need all of you to exit the car. We're not going to exit the car. It's only three of us. Who keeps coming from the back and jumping Miss It is literally just the three of us. One of the guys says, what are you talking about? Are you okay? Are you having a bad day. I'm like, no, I just don't feel safe anymore. You guys have an extra person in the back, and if they keep waving at me laughing, and you guys keep laughing, so it's this is not a type of joke. And I feel like you guys did this so you wouldn't pay for the fourth person. My car doesn't take four people. Once I get I told them, yes, I know, I keep repaying myself. And then I'm like, we're not gonna exit, okay, I'm gonna take off my keys. I'm gonna park the car, and I'm like, you guys can stay here. I'm like, you're we're really gonna They were upset. There's we're really gonna leave you a really bad rating because this is very unprofessional of you, and like we're gonna report it to Uber and I said, you gotta do what you gotta do, but what you're doing is not right. There's somebody in the back and I'm gonna I don't feel safe opening the trunk and I don't know anymore. I can see through the glass, so I pursued it little by little, and I went to the back to see who was the one waving, jumping side to side while I was driving, like mocking me as if they wanted me to get into a car accident while I was driving that they were blindly spotting me. I feel like two different things were happening at the same time. I have to focus on driving. I have to focus on these two passengers in the back being very loud and obnoxious. But for the sanity of getting them home safe or to the restaurant, I didn't want in the right until they started playing this game on me. What do you go ahead? Checking the back? I'm like, somebody's in the back and I don't feel comfortable anymore. Tell them to come out because I don't feel safe, or I'm gonna be calling in one one, miss, there's nobody in the back. You're really tripping, miss. I feel like the talk was about forever because I was scared to go and open the trunk. Was I gonna get jumped? Was I gonna get mugged? I've heard these stories of women drivers getting assaulted, and I was really stressing it. Who was this person doing these jokes on me? While I was driving when I'm trying just to get these people safe, and they're telling me that nobody's in the back yet, and they're like, go ahead, we're not gonna get off. I got out, walked little by little, parked the car, and I was really stressing that I hesitated, and I'm like, please just tell your friend to come out, and I'll order you guys another uber and I'll let them know the situation and explain my story. Finally, I said, I'm doing this. Who's in the back? I go? It was very dark. I didn't even have a light or anything round around flashlight. I go knock, Please get out, sir, or please ma'am get out? Whoever is in the back? Stop playing games? I knock again, who's in the back? Okay, you're not telling your friend anymore. I'm not playing with this. I just opened the track, ran back. Nobody was in the back. Who was that person? All this time? Thank you so much for your story submissions.
