Creepy true story's from Reddit

I've got a knife

Hi, this is my first time posting here but I have a story from about a year ago. At this time I was 15(still am but nearly 16) and was home alone while my parents were at one of the Newcastle hospitals with my brother who had just snapped his leg.

I have always been very weary of thieves in my town. Even thought they dearly happened aside from holiday season. So I was home alone playing on my xbox, that's when I heard a noise from down in the garage. Let me say this, my house is big. The garage takes up most of the bottom floor. And I knew that no-one I knew would be down there.

So I ran to my room and grabbed my spear gun. Loaded it and crept to the stairs. There is a wall there that acts like a banister. I looked over that and could hear footsteps. Let me just say this, I am small for my age. So not very intimidating. But I know how to fight, I was known at my old school as "that little kid who dropped Kevin"(name changed of course)

As I'm leaning over the wall the door quietly opens. I yell out "who the fuck is there!" I couldn't really see what he looked like but he stepped out to the space in between the front door and the stairs.

He asked "are you home alone?" In a really creepy voice. "I have a knife" at that point I lifted the spear gun over the wall and pointed it at him. Me: " yeah well I've got a fucking spear gun, piss off!"

He took off as fast as he could, straight back the way he came. Don't ask me why but I waited till I saw him run down the road that I called 000.

My mum gave me a big hug when she got home but dad just pissed himself laughing that I aimed a spear gun at someone.
