You think you're safe online? Lemme tell you a story...

When I was 16 and still living at home, I loved visiting a 50+ chat room. I even became their mascot after a while.

I chatted with plenty of people in private, but nothing to worry about bc they knew my age and just wanted to be friends.


One night, while visiting the chat room, a new guy popped up in my private messages. We got to talking and after a while he asked if I was willing to meet him for some fun.

I hadn't shared any personal info. Only thing they knew was my age. So, I assumed it was a joke and said "sure"

He immediately logged off and sent me a text on my phone!!! It said "I'll be there in approx 7,5h"

I blocked the number and was completely freaked out. I was home alone at the time and didn't have an adult I trusted enough to tell. So I locked all the doors and tried all sorta of things to distract me from thinking about it all.

8h later I heard a knock on the door. I asked "who's there?" and the man responded with the username he used in chat. Obviously I freaked the eff out.

I must have gone into survival mode, but 6am the next thing I remember is waking up with him next to me in bed. I didn't drink or use any drugs, so I genuinely can't explain how he got there.

I woke him up and told him he had to leave bc my mom and stepdad would be home soon and I had a lot of chores to do before they got there. All lies, but it worked. He was out of the house within a couple of minutes.


I never heard from him again, luckilly. But I learned my lesson. No more chat rooms.

I know this sounds like a creepypasta, and lawd, do I wish it was....
