THIS IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY.
I totally understand if you DO NOT believe me.
Once upon a time, when I was about 12 or 13 years old, I was out trick-or-treating. This was the first time my parents let me go alone with my friends and no adults with us.
The day started with my mom dropping me off at my friend Karim's house, where we were supposed to sleep over after trick-or-treating. We arrive and go into their house; my mom and I go into Karim's house, where I go to his room and our moms are catching up.
We were super excited, so we ended up putting on our costumes and leaving early. We literally started trick-or-treating at like 3 PM, A couple of hours go by, a few more of our friends join us at this point, and we continue. All of us live in the same neighborhood, so we had this plan where we all take a garbage bag; once all garbage bags are full, we drop them off at someone's house and get new garbage bags and do the same until all 4 of our houses have 4 bags full of candy in them.
The first 2 rotations were done. My house and Karim's house remain, the plan was we go to my house next so we can get the last rotation of bags, go to Karim's, and all sleep there anyway.
Jacob (one of the friends) then says he knows about a haunted house in the neighborhood. (Like a house setup where they try to scare you, not like haunted with ghosts.) We were all down, so we went. It was absolutely terrifying. There was a bit that scared me the most. We were stuck in a room with a coffin in the middle of it. And theres someone inside knocking, Karim opens the coffin... And nothing, its empty, I still dont know how it was knocking. But then after we openend it, the door I was standing next to started knocking. When I went to open it, it was a guy wearing a clown mask right in my face, I got so scared, and started crying.
We eventually got through it and got out, and it was fully dark out. We got our bags and started going at. We were youngings with a mission at the end of the day. We go for a bit and the bags are starting to fill up. My house is next, and I'm supposed to be really excited, but I have this really bad feeling in my gut, and I keep thinking about the knocking from the haunted house; I just felt off. We fill the bags and start heading to my house. Now mind you when I go home I just enter, I dont knock or ring the bell, I just walk in.
So me and all my friends go into my house, and the lights are off. I was kind of weirded out because my parents would usually always just be in the living room, which is right there in front of the front door. We drop the bags off in the kitchen and notice that no one is there either. I tell my friends to chill and get a drink or something while I go upstairs to check if their there.
As I am walking upstairs I start hearing the knocking again, it sounded so real. Every step I took up was synced with a knock, and it kept getting louder and louder and louder, so I start having a bit of a panic attack, and im just slowely going up the stairs. Once I got up I realized the noise wasnt in my head, it was real.
I was hearing the knocking in my house, and it was coming out of my parents' room. All I can think about is the clown as I start tearing up walking up the door, it got so loud once I was behind the door.
It sounded exactly like the coffin.
I open the door fast, and there it was.
My parents aboslutely fucking eachothers brains out. Truly a scary scene, and permanent fear.
