Moving Into a Nightmare | 5 True Scary New House Stories

It drives me crazy when I hear stories like this. “My doors were unlocked”, “I heard a noise, but I brushed it off as nothing”, “I looked out the peephole and saw a man I didn’t know, but I opened the door”. Love your voice, Joel!

In Europe, where I listen you from, it’s unthinkable to enter your home and not lock the door as soon as you step inside, be it morning, afternoon or night.

Our home was invaded by 4 men with bats and machetes (no guns as in UK ) who thought we were hiding what turned out to be 2 drug dealers who parked their car outside our house, the first story was so similar to what happened to us I'm actually shaking. We had 2 children and the men hurt me in front of them to make us reveal where the 2 they sought were - we didn't know them or where they were, I'd seen them parking the car but that was it. I still have PTSD and facial scarring, my partner took a battering with a table leg, I'd have let them hurt me more if I could have shielded the kids from what was an unprovoked attack at the wrong house. It turned out they were 3 doors down and I never forgave my neighbour for bringing that to our cul-de-sac. To make it worse the house next door to us was empty & the other side were on holiday otherwise the police might have been called. We could never live back there after that, we stayed with my partners mum for 8 months. It's way worse than I've outlined here but typing this is calming me a little even if no one reads it. We're not perfect but we didn't deserve what happened especially the children, the men were arrested but they had so many other charges ours got bundled in with everything else. If the story is true I know exactly how they felt but I am reminded every time I look in the mirror.

Perfect time to listen to this as I'm winding down from watching my new kittens. (Boy are they rambunctious!)

Just bought our first house and will be moving in this weekend. Boy, am I ready to ruin the fun 😎

"Luke's mom" why not wife, partner or a name or even ex-wife? I get it if it's a one time thing but for the whole story? that's kinda weird.

I have zero respect for parents who immediately dismiss something horrific like "someone watches me out of the closet whenever you guys aren't around" as imagination. Generally speaking kids don't have the capacity to imagine something so scary out of nowhere. There's a difference between kids being scared of something vague like the dark but when it's that specific it shouldn't be blown off. When my parents first moved into our family home and my sister was around 3, she told my mom that a "woman had been peeking into the window" while my mom was in the shower. My mom did not dismiss my sister and it wasn't until later that it occurred to my mom that it could have even been a man with long hair. Freaked her right out and they got window coverings after that.

"While my wife got accustomed to the new kitchen" right
