30 Scary Home Alone Stories That Will Remind You To Double Lock Your Front Door 

4. I had just moved into my first apartment. It was around 8:30PM and I heard the doorknob moving like someone was putting a key in it and turning and knocking. At first I got really excited that my then boyfriend was home, but then realized it was only 8:30 and he was due home from work around 10:30.

So I looked out the kitchen window and didn’t see his car or anyone’s car I had known parked outside, that’s when I panicked. The doorknob kept moving for a few more seconds and then stopped, a few minutes later they had some piece of metal they were sticking between the door trying to open the door. I freaked out at that point and locked myself in the bathroom with a knife and called 911. They tried to pry the door open for about 3 minutes before they stopped.

The police surveyed the area and found an elderly man roaming around with a knife and a crowbar. He used to live in that apartment and he wanted his stuff back that we stole when we moved in, I was told he was really delusional.

I’m so thankful and glad I didn’t answer the door once I realized it was no one I knew. To this day my heart stops when someone knocks on my door.
