50 Disturbing Messages Real People Have Received In Letters And Texts

Guy who was my lab partner in high school wrote me a note (complete with picture) that said, “I will kill you and make a sofa out of your skin.” With no context. I still have the note. A few years later he murdered a coworker.

These are the creepiest texts, emails, and phone calls people from Ask Reddit have ever received.

1. My dad’s ex kept sending me letters asking me to to let her exhume my paternal grandparents’ graves because she believed they cursed her.

She got an FB account and kept sending me long messages and once offered to let me sleep with her if I told her where their graves were. When I kept refusing she threatened to call the police on me.

I just called an uncle of mine who was a police officer and told him everything. My Dad knew she was off-kilter and my uncle had me ignore her, block her, but keep the messages as evidence.

Stopped hearing from her after that.

She was put in prison a year later for a different crime.

2. At about 11pm, a family friend texts me this: (as accurately as I remember)

“Look, I thought I could do it. I can’t. It’s been six months since it happened and nobody even cares anymore. He’s just a kid. I do not want to be any further involved, ask someone else.”

About 30 seconds later, “Oh, sorry, that was just a mistake. I meant to send that to my brother, we’re just messing around.”
