Welcome to the Neighborhood true scary story

WEBVTT

1
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:11.759
So I'm gonna I have this one
titled Welcome to the neighborhood. All right,

2
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.759
here we go. My wife,
Cheryl and I have been together for

3
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.480
ten years. We got married two
years ago, and we just got a

4
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:20.879
house together not even a month ago, and things couldn't have started off on

5
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.679
a worst note. We moved to
a small inland town of Georgia called way

6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:29.519
Cross. That's all the details I'm
giving to avoid any more issues. We're

7
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:32.920
on a quiet street with a big
property that sits in the front of a

8
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.479
medium sized patch of woods. This
is one of the factors that really appealed

9
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:40.359
to my wife and I because we
planned to adopt a dog and raise kids

10
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.799
here, so we wanted a big
property for the dogs and kids to play.

11
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.640
We both worked similar shifts. I
get home around five pm and my

12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.359
wife gets home around six pm.
The first two nights in the house went

13
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:54.880
completely normal because it was the weekend
and we spent our entire days unpacking our

14
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.960
belongings. Well, on Monday night, when we both laid down in bed,

15
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.479
we had just turned off the lights
and maybe twenty minutes had passed by.

16
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.640
From outside in the backyard, there
was a loud sound of music blasting.

17
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.319
This was strange. Our nearest neighbors
on either side were spaced out enough

18
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.400
where we couldn't mistake music from their
yards being in our yard, so it's

19
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.439
definitely coming from our backyard. We
weren't even hearing anything like party music,

20
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.799
nothing like that, but it sounded
like very old, staticky, vintage music,

21
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.560
something Luke could listen to. The
windows were shut, so my wife

22
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.760
and I exchanged horrified glances at each
other and wondered where could that music be

23
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.599
coming from. Well, I opened
the window on my side of the bed

24
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.519
and it was much more clear then. The song sounded like it was from

25
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.560
the nineteen forties or something I later
found out after researching. I looked up

26
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.400
the lyrics and the song name was
Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf by

27
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.120
Henry Hall. It definitely has a
slight aerie vibe to it, even though

28
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.159
I'm pretty sure it was meant to
be a happy song. But at the

29
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.560
same time, listening to it coming
from our backyard, it was nothing but

30
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.640
downright horrifying. We were still learning
the house, but we figured there must

31
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:05.159
have been a backyard light switch downstairs. I ran downstairs to the back door

32
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.759
and flick and flick the light switch
next to the door on, and one

33
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.280
of them, luckily turned to be
the ended up being the backyard lights.

34
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.919
I didn't see anybody in the backyard. I opened the door and the music

35
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:21.919
was very loud. As I walked
out into the grass, I realized it

36
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.520
wasn't coming from the backyard, rather
than it was coming actually from the woods.

37
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.840
The song played to completion as I
was standing out in the yard,

38
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.759
just standing there looking around. When
the song ended, there was dead silence.

39
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.520
I went back to my wife and
told her it was probably just some

40
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.800
kids trying to scare us because we
were new in town for whatever reason.

41
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.400
Hearing myself say that made me realize
how stupid and weird that would be.

42
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:46.800
The next night, it happened again
a few minutes after we turned out the

43
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.879
bedroom lights to go to sleep,
music from outside started blaring even louder,

44
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.879
this time much louder. The song
that was playing was the song that everybody's

45
00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:01.159
heard, Tiptoe through the Tulips,
Sheryl. I have to go back and

46
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:06.080
hear that. It sounds creepy though, so yeah, the song was Tiptoe

47
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:07.840
through the Tulip Sherrol. My wife
and I once again looked at each other,

48
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:14.000
this time genuine disgust and worried,
because we had hoped it was just

49
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:15.719
going to be a one night occurrence, but here it was happening again.

50
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.000
I looked out the window and I
could see something on the grass out in

51
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.439
the distance in my yard. It
wasn't a person, but there was definitely

52
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.360
something out there. Hmm. I
told my wife I was going to go

53
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.199
check it out, and she said
we should just call the cops, and

54
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:31.800
I said, yeah, yeah,
I will in a second. I went

55
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:36.080
out there with a mindset that I
need to establish myself as the man in

56
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.080
the house, not just to my
wife, but to whoever was thinking that

57
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.800
they could mess with us. When
I was in the yard, I saw

58
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.000
an object in the grass. Was
smaller than I thought it was when I

59
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.479
was looking at it throughout the window, but it was definitely blaring the creepy

60
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.080
song it was coming from it.
I realized it was an old radio.

61
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.879
I turned it off and looked up
at the window at my wife, who's

62
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:00.759
watching, and I held it up, yelling, someone left this here to

63
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.680
scare us, this music playing to
scare us. What she did next was

64
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:10.199
something I can say. I did
not expect. She started screaming my name

65
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.560
and that I needed to run inside. She kept screaming run, so I

66
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.639
yelled back, asking why why.
She screamed back, there are people behind

67
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.360
you. This statement made my heart
skip a beat, and I turned around

68
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:25.720
to face the woods. I saw
three figures standing I don't know, five

69
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.439
or six feet apart from each other, clearly facing my direction. They weren't

70
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.439
running at me, They're just standing
there. I yelled, Oh shit,

71
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:35.360
and ran back inside the house,
slamming the door behind me. My wife

72
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.279
was upstairs crying hysterically. I got
on my cell phone and called the cops.

73
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.120
Our wife and I were panicking,
and asked them to get here as

74
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.120
quickly as possible. Luckily, they
arrived fairly quickly, and we explained the

75
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.639
situation to both of the police officers. We showed them the radio on the

76
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.879
ground. I asked them if they
could take it back with them, as

77
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:56.920
evident her fingerprints. I told them
I'd only touched the top handle of it.

78
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.319
They checked the front of the woods
with their flashlights for a few minutes,

79
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.639
probably as a deterrent to the people
in the woods to stop their behavior.

80
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.560
If they were even still there.
The police left, and we went

81
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.040
right back to feeling vulnerable and scared. Think, Christ, the people haven't

82
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.279
returned. But this was only a
few weeks ago. God forbid they come

83
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:21.279
back and do this again or something
even worse. Yeah, I don't.

84
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:26.519
I don't know if I would be
willing to show my bravery at a moment

85
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:28.959
like that. I would just be
like, well, I'm gone a cops

86
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.279
right away. We always hear like
as we share these stories we all and

87
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.639
I'm reading about them. I always
like read things like this, right,

88
00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.639
like, I'm gonna be that guy. I'm gonna I just don't know how

89
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:43.000
I would. I guess it's easy
to say, like I would handle it

90
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:45.439
this way, but if you're actually
in it, you know, how would

91
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.680
you handle it? You know?
Yeah, my mind would go immediately to

92
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.879
like, if there's someone out here, they're crazy, right, I mean,

93
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:57.279
like, I'm not gonna deal with
that. I'm gonna call the cops.

94
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.399
So we're now tasked with finding this
uh tiptoe through the tulips? Cheryl

95
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.360
Luke, are you familiar with this
that one? I was familiar with the

96
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:11.079
first one. I assumed that it
may have just been a typo when I've

97
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.720
sent this over. Maybe somehow his
wife's name was Cheryl, so maybe it's

98
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.759
tiptoe through the tulips. I've never
I don't know I tiptoe to the tulips

99
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.600
on the top of my head,
but it sounds terrifying. Do you know

100
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.000
this other one? He said,
what was it? What was the song

101
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:27.000
He's afraid of the Yes, yeah, I've heard that one before. That

102
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.639
is a song I have listened to. And I was gonna say, you

103
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:38.879
called it. Look listens to that
blow your house down. So let's talk

104
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:41.279
about this story again before we move
on to the next one. Yeah,

105
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:46.480
Luke, likelihood of this being real? Your opinion? I I do think

106
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:55.199
it's probably real. But Jack had
said that I would definitely not try to

107
00:06:55.319 --> 00:07:00.639
prove that the man in the house. I would just call the cops every

108
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.680
time prank, like just I'm going
to take a juke box and like set

109
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.240
it in your yard. And I
think that that was definitely the part that

110
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.160
I pushed me over, like to
like, you know, because if someone's

111
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.399
just listening to music and they're in
the other yard or they're down the road,

112
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:17.480
you can hear it. There's no
reason to flip out but if someone

113
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:23.600
put something specifically in your yard to
just play the song, I don't know.

114
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.720
I guess there's a chance that maybe, like if it depends on the

115
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.240
setup of their neighbors, could be
like a little kid maybe put something there.

116
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.480
But uh, yeah, if it's
in the middle of the night,

117
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.959
I'm not so sure that I would
that I would, but I would brave

118
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:43.040
that I would brave the elements three
people were standing there. He said,

119
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.680
yeah, that's pretty terrifying. Yeah, I would definitely book it. I

120
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.439
would be like, oh, there's
three of them. So he did say,

121
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.240
oh shit, then book it.
Yeah, yeah, soon he said

122
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:57.399
that, I never go that's that
appropriate reaction? That's appropriate. Can you

123
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.240
imagine though, Like it's like the
scary movie when they're like he's behind you

124
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.160
and you're like and they're like what, but this is like real, This

125
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.240
is like real to them, like
he's behind you. Yeah, that would

126
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:16.399
be absolutely terrifying. M m hm, m hm
