3 Horrifying Real Cases Of Home Invasions

1." Our houses are usually the one place we can call home and feel isolated from the outside world, at least until someone or something from the outside world enters without consent.
19-year-old single child, Damian Andrews would drive directly from campus after his last class on Friday to his job at a gas station for six hours and after his shift was done, he'd go back to his parent's house. Usually, his parents weren't home on weekend nights as they were the ones who were more often out drinking. Damian pulled into the empty driveway and as expected, everything was dark in the house. He needed to put his bike that was still in his trunk, back into the shed in the backyard, so he removed the bike from the trunk of his truck and rode it down the pavement past the fence into the shed. When he shut the shed door, he noticed the bathroom light upstairs in the house was on now, he didn't remember noticing the bathroom light being on when he passed the side of the house, so he assumed that maybe one of his parents stayed home for the night. Damian entered the house through the back door and as he opened his mouth ready to call for one of his parents, something deep down told him not to. Damian went up the half flight of stairs from his den to the midsection of the house, he looked up the short stairway to the upstairs and saw a light creeping into the hallway through the closed bathroom door, so somebody was in there. He went upstairs calling out mom and dad, there were no responses but he was in very close range of the bathroom now which made it odd. He approached the bathroom door, again, calling out mom and dad, no response. Damian figured maybe his mom was in the bathtub with earbuds in or something, the door was locked so one of them had to be in there. When the phone rang he went downstairs to answer it to find out it was his dad calling, checking in to make sure Damian made it home okay. His dad sounded drunk as usual/Friday nights, so Damian questioned him as to why he left mom at home as he walked back upstairs to the bathroom door, His dad seemed confused, then he noticed at the bottom of the door through the opening, two shadow outlines of feet standing by the door.

Literally facing the door right on top of it, then Damian's dad dropped the bomb and told him that his mother was right beside him at the table. He did the only logical thing he could do, he ran outside, hung up on his dad and called the police. When Damian looked up to the bathroom window he saw the light turn off, ten minutes of hiding in the bushes later, he heard the police out front, who in the end found nobody in the house".

2." The Protagonists name was not given in the story, so I'll refer to him as Ted. Ted was 16- years -old and he lived with his dad and brother at their isolated farmhouse. The house was relatively small with a first floor and a basement, however, it was a huge amount of property with a barn and trees in all directions providing optimal privacy. There was a long driveway that extended from the side road to the property which was what Ted was riding down at the moment, returning from his friend's house on his bike. Ted rode into the barn where the family keeps all the bikes and then headed for the front door of the house, however, on his way, he noticed the basement doors were wide open, not seeing any cars in the driveway. Ted assumed it was his little brother who for whatever reason left them open. Shutting the doors and stepping down into the basement, Ted quickly realized none of the lights in the basement were on, he called for his little brother Andrew who answered from upstairs, Andrew came rushing downstairs, turning on the light on the way. The first thing Andrew pointed out was the foul stench in the basement but Ted said he couldn't notice anything. Ted questioned Andrew as to why he opened the basement doors and then left them that way, his response was, "I didn't". Ted continually accused him of either lying or forgetting but Andrew swore he hadn't even been in the basement all night. The disturbing thought that it was unlocked and somebody entered the house, came up and the two subsequently turned the basement practically upside down, looking for anyone turning up nothing. Andrew said he had been in the living room all night and hadn't heard anything, plus he would have noticed if somebody had come upstairs, so Ted felt at ease knowing nobody was in the house. He sat down on the basement couch and started watching TV, that's when he noticed, the couch felt kind of weird, less soft than usual. He got up and lifted one of the cushions and screamed, Ted ran upstairs into Andrew halfway up, shoving him the rest of the way and locking the basement door behind him. When Ted could finally get some words out, he told Andrew he found a dead body stuffed below the cushions of the basement couch. The body was later determined to be that of their closest neighbor George whose wife had also gone missing a few days prior. As far as Ted and his family knew at the time as the posting of this story, the culprit was never found".

3." Edward Gallo was 24- years- old and was living alone in his newly bought home in a rural Virginia area where he would frequently have his girlfriend Sarah stay over on the weekends. One Friday night after going a whole day without speaking to her, he decided to call her and invite her over, she didn't answer so he left a voicemail. It was odd for her to not respond to his calls or texts, so he was starting to get worried that maybe she was losing interest. After calling repeatedly with no response, Edward heard one of the doors closing from downstairs. He breathed a sigh of relief knowing that she had come over after all. Ed texted her saying "Come upstairs", after a few seconds of tinks and thud sounds coming from downstairs, she finally started walking up the stairs, she was walking up really slowly though as if she were taking two steps per stairs, finally, Eddie called out her name in confusion and the steps stopped. Then Ed's phone began to vibrate and when he took it out of his pocket, the name on the caller ID was Sarah. He picked up and immediately Sarah apologized for not being able to get back to him but he interrupted her and asked her what she's doing on the stairs, there was a long silence and then she finally said "what?". Eddie asked again, this time Sarah informed him that she was still in her car on her way home from work. Ed locked the door and immediately after, the doorknob started turning. All Ed could think to do was to yell "get out of here before I call the police", whoever was on the stairs ran all the way back down and out the front door of the house. Ed looked out the window searching for whoever it was and saw the most disturbing thing he had ever seen, across the road was a tall man wearing a dress shirt and ripped jean shorts, looking directly at him and despite how far away he was, Ed could see a smile on the man's face before he turned and ran into the woods to never be seen again".
