What I Found in my Bedroom true scary story

WEBVTT

1
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:07.599
We'll get into the story here.
So this is the next story. This

2
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:12.960
is a I titled it A Scary
Bedroom Story by Michael Welsh. It had

3
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.000
shared Thank you Michael. I'll go
get into it here. I had the

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:21.679
one bedroom in the house that wasn't
on the second floor. My parents' house

5
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.920
was a high ranch. When you
entered the house, it spun off into

6
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:30.199
two floors, with one half flight
stairs going upstairs and one downstairs. When

7
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:35.039
you entered, the downstairs level had
the den, garage, my bedroom,

8
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.520
and a bathroom. The other three
bedrooms in the house were all upstairs.

9
00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:42.079
Since I grew up the oldest and
the only boy in the house with two

10
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:46.159
sisters, I got the room downstairs
because it was the biggest and technically the

11
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.159
coolest. After I turned ten,
my parents gave my twin bed to my

12
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:54.439
little sister and I got a full
sized bed, which was a bit of

13
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:59.000
an upgrade because the room was big
and it certainly fit a bigger bed better.

14
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.759
When I was twelve, my little
sisters were around five and eight,

15
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.120
so at this age I would be
allowed home alone, but my five year

16
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.359
old sister wouldn't be left alone with
me and my eight year old sister would

17
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.599
only be left alone with me if
my parents weren't going to be gone for

18
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.079
too long, or if they were
just gonna be gone for long periods of

19
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.719
times the day. If they were
going to be gone for long period of

20
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:25.400
times today, they'd take boaks to
my sisters. For this short period of

21
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:26.959
time. I'd say like three nights
in a row, I was waking up

22
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:32.200
in the middle of the night for
no reason, and I'd have trouble falling

23
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.560
back asleep. Considering now I was
only twelve years old, I knew I

24
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.719
shouldn't be having problems sleeping at this
age. I was sleeping with the fan

25
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.879
on next to my bed because it
was so hot that a couple of days,

26
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.640
right in the middle of summer.
I wasn't sure what exactly was waking

27
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:51.400
me up, considering the fan provided
a steady white noise. One of these

28
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:53.799
nights, I got up after waking
up to refill a glass of water.

29
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.480
I went into the bathroom right beside
my bedroom to fill out the water in

30
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.959
the sink there, and as I
said so ended up. I thought I

31
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:04.840
heard something come out of the inside
of my room. I turned off the

32
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.680
faucet and then just listened now for
a moment, but there was nothing.

33
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.680
I didn't hear anything except for the
sound of the fan in my room.

34
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.560
I walked to the doorway of my
bedroom and I couldn't tell what it was,

35
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:23.919
but something was creeping me out about
my room. So I went upstairs

36
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.639
in the living room and decided to
sleep on the couch that night. I

37
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.719
fell asleep eventually, but that same
night I woke up again, this time

38
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:36.639
to noises from the kitchen. I
glanced and I saw the glow of the

39
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.319
light from the fridge and sounds of
someone rubberging through it. The way the

40
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.759
floor set up at that kitchen was, it was out of you from the

41
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.199
couch in the living room, so
I couldn't see who it wasn't there.

42
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.560
I just heard the noises of somebody
going through the refrigerator. Eventually I heard

43
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.680
the refrigerator shut, then footsteps walked
away downstairs. I was drowsy, so

44
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:00.759
I went back to sleep. I
believe it was the next that my mom

45
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.800
was folding clothes in my room and
she told me that my room stuck and

46
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.280
I needed to clean up whatever that
smell was. I ignored her because I

47
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:13.840
really didn't smell anything, but I
wish I wouldn't have ignored her. That

48
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:16.840
night, our dad turned the air
conditioning on finally because it just simply got

49
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:21.439
too hot after we all start,
after we all watched a movie as a

50
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:25.639
family together, everyone started getting ready
for bed. I went to my room

51
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.080
and played video games for a little
while before eventually going to sleep. So

52
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.960
when I decided to turn off my
TV, I also turned off the console

53
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.879
and rolled on my side to go
to sleep like I always did, that

54
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:39.759
night felt a little bit different because
I didn't have the fan on because the

55
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:44.680
air conditioning had been turned on.
There was just the sound of the air

56
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.400
blowing through the vents for the central
air unit, so the event's coming to

57
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:51.680
the ceiling. Eventually, I was
able to fall asleep, but a sound

58
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.840
woke me up shortly after. I
didn't know what the sound I heard was

59
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.800
because now all of a sudden,
after I was awake, all I could

60
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.360
hear was the air blowing through the
vent the ceiling. After a few minutes,

61
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.960
it stopped blowing air in the room
again and went completely silent. I

62
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:12.439
heard some breathing, but it wasn't
my breathing. I looked around the room,

63
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.319
part of my childhood innocence assumed it
was my younger sister pranking me.

64
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.199
I looked in the closet but didn't
see anything. I got on the floor

65
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:25.000
and looked at the only other place
I could think of to look, under

66
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.160
my bed. I lifted the little
piece of cloth that dangled at the bottom

67
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.600
of my bed, and I saw
a very large person lying under my bed

68
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:39.319
a pile of blankets. The person's
head was facing me, but their eyes

69
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:43.000
were closed. I fell backwards and
basically crab blalk out of the room as

70
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.480
quickly as possible, and I screamed
Dad. Heard my parents' door swing open,

71
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.639
and my parents came rushing out of
the room, looking concerned. I

72
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:54.959
pointed in the direction of my bedroom
and said, under my bed. My

73
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.480
dad went into my room and pulled
out this very large, dirty looking man.

74
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.000
I remember my dad quite easily physically
forcing the man outside as my mom

75
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.240
called nine one one. I'm sure
he went to jail for a while or

76
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:10.959
something, but maybe not because he
had to be homeless. Who knows.

77
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.839
This did a lot of mental damage
to me. I didn't even want to

78
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:16.360
sleep in my room anymore. I
didn't want to sleep in the house anymore.

79
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.680
I had to sleep in the middle
of my parents for a while.

80
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.480
My dad installed security cameras all over
the house. We threw out all the

81
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.800
fruits and all the food in the
refrigerator that had been opened, because we

82
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.079
had no idea what he had got
his hands and mouth on. The fear

83
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.079
of someone being under my bed stayed
with me for a long time. We

84
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:34.920
don't even know how long he was
hiding under the bed. It could have

85
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:40.040
been a few days or even longer. The smell the person going through the

86
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.360
refrigerator, and the fact that I
kept randoling waking up those few nights all

87
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.240
made sense now. Whether he met
harm or not, having someone hiding under

88
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:57.839
your bed is every child's biggest nightmare. So sad A lot of unpacked with

89
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.839
that one. Michael, thank you
for sharing that story. Uh wow,

90
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:08.480
Yeah, that one's that one would
be very difficult because you know, you

91
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:14.800
you really want to feel safe in
your own room. That's like a very

92
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:18.519
important thing. So I will I
don't know, I would be very difficult

93
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:25.399
to get to sleep ever again,
Yeah, I would definitely. I think

94
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:30.079
it would probably get part of my
routine to check counder my bed After that,

95
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.480
I would have to know. I
guess I like, Okay, so

96
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.199
obviously I grew up with you guys, and I know you guys have standing

97
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.480
out at your house and the same
see it with a fan is a pretty

98
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.279
common thing. Yeah, yeah,
So when I was reading this story,

99
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:54.879
I could relate to that just silence
when there's no fan, but especially like

100
00:06:54.920 --> 00:07:00.680
when you're air conditionering your heaters running, and then it suddenly turns off and

101
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.120
it's just dead. It's absolutely silent
at that point. One you're used to

102
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.399
sleeping with a fan too. Your
hair just shut off and you hear breathing,

103
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:14.480
snoring, whatever it was, and
it's not yours. Yeah, they

104
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:18.800
oh, that's straight out of nightmare. It's there. He was realistic,

105
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:24.199
right, He thinks automatically like,
hey, it's my little sister probably playing

106
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.720
it on me, which should be
more likely than a homeless man being out

107
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.759
of your bed. Right. And
then after after when they were like,

108
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.199
well we should probably give herid of
this foods. That's kind of a very

109
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:47.160
real decision there. So it sounds
like he had stockpiled some of his clothes

110
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:51.959
and blankets and been hiding under the
bed. So this all makes sense now.

111
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.319
As he goes back, and you
made sure to highlight in this story

112
00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:00.120
that his mom talked about the smell
in that room, and he would she

113
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.759
would have listened. Did you guys, you guys catch that too? Yeah

114
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.600
I didn't. I didn't catch it
till just now. Yeah, so you

115
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.680
should have checked then, yeah,
of course, yeah. We Is there

116
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:16.600
ever a good time to check for
a homeless person at your bed? This

117
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.240
score, I'm checking the night,
this story, this story, this story

118
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.680
terrified me, guys, I here. I mean, if it was for

119
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:28.680
the fact, in my bed it's
like a platform bed, like shelves unerneath,

120
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.879
nothing could be I would probably also
I'm checking out. I'm checking anyway,

121
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.759
I'm checking under my bed. What
that's called? Like, if you're

122
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.399
listening live, you know you can
comment along or I'm across across all social

123
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.679
media right now, like and share
it. Of course. I think it's

124
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.519
called the skirt of the bed,
right yeah, my verbiage right there.

125
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.759
So can you imagine you think you
hear a noise, You've looked in the

126
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:56.799
closet, nothing's in there, and
you can think there one more spot to

127
00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:01.200
check that's under my bed, and
as you slow peel up, lift up

128
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.919
this skirt of your bed that kind
of hangs down to the ground. You

129
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.720
see a person in there, under
there sleeping. I it blows my mind

130
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:13.919
how terrifying this would be. So
there's two things there, because I was

131
00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:18.240
like, first of all, I
was like, I'm glad this person was

132
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:24.559
asleep, right, because imagine seeing
someone like, yeah, away. Then

133
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.559
he says he crab walks out.
Yeah, I wanted to That's what I

134
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.799
wanted to do. I want to
get out. As a kid, is

135
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.720
he is? He ended the story
with, and I'm going to agree with

136
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.200
it. As a kid, the
most terrifying thing is like a monster or

137
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:41.919
something being under your bed, and
that became a reality here for Michael.

138
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:43.759
Yeah, that's rough.
