Real Encounters

*Call the police and hide!*

So when I was fifteen in highschool ( I'm from the UK) I had met this boy named Olly. We used to live next door and we had hit it off and we're dating. I used to offer babysitting in my house and while I sat in my living room I would tap on the wall and he would tap back.

I was babysitting a girl about 8 years old and she had fallen asleep, I tapped on the walls because I heard the TV on and assumed it was him. For about 15 minutes we went on with this tapping before I texted him joking about the TV he had been watching.

I got a text back saying he wasn't home and I asked him who it was, I was suddenly extremely creeped out to hear no one was home at his house, I called him while I was shaking asking him if this was some sort of joke, due to a shared power supply outside whoever tapping could cut my electrics.

As I dialed for the police my lights switched off. The girl and I ran upstairs and bolted the bedroom door as I talked to the operator who clearly knew I was scared. I told the person in charge that I heard knocking on the glass windows in my living rooms.

The police arrived and arrested him, I never found out who it was until a court case; turns out there's sexual predators in my neighbourhood and they knew me, a teenage girl lived here.

Ever since I've been scared to sit alone at my house again.
