A young woman’s routine evening quickly turned into a prolonged nightmare after a man she barely knew appeared outside her home — for the second time.
At first, she thought it was just coincidence. The man, a foreign traveler she met briefly once before, showed up near her neighborhood, claiming he was “just passing through.” But as hours passed, she began to feel something was very off.
“I didn’t want to overreact,” she said, “but something about the way he just stood there… it didn’t feel right.”
For nearly an entire day, the man lingered. Sometimes sitting on a bench near her building, sometimes slowly walking past her window. He didn’t speak, didn’t approach, but his presence was loud enough to unsettle everything.
Friends urged her to call the police, but she hesitated — torn between fear and uncertainty. Was she in real danger? Or was he just a lost soul looking for something familiar?
And then, just as suddenly as he arrived… he left.
No goodbye. No message. She watched from her window as he walked down the street and disappeared into the crowd.
“It was like he finally gave up,” she said. “Or maybe he realized he had crossed a line.”
