This is a story which hard to explain and I'm shaking as I am writing this. I'm probably just a scared 17-year old but I'm unsure about what to do....

Before I begin I need to explain how room looks, It's a room with a big window and a door outside to a sort of like balcony but on the ground, and my room is on the west side so the sun rises on this side so I have to keep my door open so it doesn't get too warm.

So sunday night, 3:15 am I hear someone stepping on the gravel outside and I thought like it was a cat who ran or something but I look out my door and see two legs standing there, I freak out and go outside to look and this kid probably same age as me stands there (he had a hood on so I didn't see who it was, I live in a small village with 400 people and everyone knows everyone so if I would have seen the face I would know who it was, but I didn't) and he instantly runs away at the sight of me.
I was freaked out didn't know what to do but there wasn't anything I could do so I just stayed up and eventually went to bad.

Now tonight, an hour and a half ago it happened again. I had my door closed this time but heard some very silent knockings on the window and I opened the door and peaked out and I saw him, but he didn't run away, he had a mask on which scared the fuck out of me and I just stood there puzzled for a second shouting "Who are you?!" and he ran off. I'm scared to be home, I have recieved unknown calls for the past 4 days. It's probably just a prank they're playing on me but I'm constantly scared to be in room when it turns dark and as soon as I just hear the wind I look out.

Anyone have some advice about what I can do? I'm so afraid...

EDIT: To add, I'm very easily scared and I'm very paranoid.

good luck

Prank or not, I would take this situation very seriously. Do you know anyone who is out for vengeance? Have you hurt anyone (directly or indirectly) recently? My cousin experienced the same situation. He dumped his girlfriend and got calls from unknown numbers for almost a month. A few weeks later, the girlfriend's brother jumped and beat the living day lights out of him.

Not trying to scare you, but you never know the motive behind people. If it continues to happen and you have an authoritative entity around, I would go there. Isn't it illegal to stalk someone in your country?

Hope that helps.
Time is money my friend.

I don't think you helped him out at all. Talking to your parents, if they are available would probably help, but you should contact the police. We don't know what to do, they do. Good luck, it's probably just a prank ^^

Well I have my suspicions of who it can be, theres this neighbour I had when I was young. Two brothers, everyone hated them and they were bullied alot when they were small, now they have moved away like 20 min from here and I think it can be him but I'm not saying it is until I know for sure. I told my dad but as I said, what is there to be done. Both times I've been sitting in underwear so I couldn't chase after, though I'm not sure if I would be brave enough to do it anyway (I'm hella fast though so I would catch up NP ) At the moment I'm waiting for my mom to get home from vacation so I can go to her for some time but she's not home yet and I don't really wanna be in an apartment by myself... But tonight atleast I went out and sat around for 40 minutes to see if someone would pass by holding a mask or whatever then I would confront him (I also was outside because I was too scared to be at home). I hope this settles but I'm not sure it will.

No no, it isn't my friends, they've done it before though but now I have talked to them and they know how scared I am now for real so it isn't them.

I doubt it would help at all, I mean sure they could have someone like watch here between 2 am and 4 am but then it would just be quiet for a few days and shit would happen again. I doubt they would even care, around here they just don't give a fuck.

If your sure theres only someone playing a prank and nothing worse you should either

- put the blind down, close the window and try to ignore if hes knocking or someting like that again, he wont get the joy of seeing you scream and should get bored..

- really try to catch him when he comes again, maybe set up a trap with friends, but thats time consuming dont know if you want that..

if you really think its more than a prank, like a gang is robbing your neighborhood in the past ( which i doubt when ur from a 400ppl village), go to the police with your parents, they should take u seriously

You guys got one of those really strong construction light things at your place? From an old renovation job or something? These things, or similar.

[image loading]

Anyhow, if you can, mount / put some kinda strong light towards your entrance door, or outside facing where you'd expect the person to stand when you hear him. Have it connected to a switch which you keep next to your computer. Next time you hear something, switch that bitch on. If it's a lunatic who wants to kill you, he'll be blinded and dazed for a while. If it's an annoying kid, he'll definately just run off, and probably crash into stuff with his vision impaired. If it's just a kid and you're feeling ballsy, you can probably tackle and subdue the person at this point, if you want.

Also, are there any other windows facing this area? Any chance you could have one or both of your parents move their evening activities to one of them, and have an agreement with them that they'd look out if you call them or they spot the light or something? If there's someone there that either doesn't scare or runs off too fast to catch, actually having proven to your parents that someone's being a lunatic might help get them to consider some actions of their own.

Obviously I doubt its a robber or a murderer, that's too unreal for this place. I suppose it's just someone who pranks me and now it has happened twice so next time I HOPE I won't be as scared because I'll just leg down that kid. The thing is though, if I just touch him I could go to court for assault and shit, laws in Sweden are weird, you can't take things in your own hands.
A friend of mine acctually told about the idea of the lamp aswell, I'll just wait and see if it happens again then I'll take action for real.

Well, resolve this the best way possible then. Got a girlfriend? Use this as an excuse of having her sleep over a few extra times a week. Multiple people are usually a deterrent to single stalkers.

And if you haven't got a girlfriend or bed pal, get a pal to bring his comp and have an oldschool LAN sleepover ;3

Call the police, tell your parents. Or hang out at your friends house for a few days if you can't do either of the other 2. Being safe is way more important than anything else.

I would call the police just so they know about it.

Then maybe have some friends over and you can stake your place out waiting for them. It might sound kind of silly, but making a fun/exciting challenge out of it with your friends could take some of the fear away. Then if the person shows up you can all confront him as a group which would be easier.

Even if you don't want to make a confrontation out of it, I know I would at least want to have friends over just to make myself feel more safe. LAN it up like someone suggested.

Get a goaltender (hockey) mask and one of the bladed tools (mobile chainsaw works best) from your garage. You'll also need a gun that shoots blanks. Set these behind the door in your room.

What you will need to do to set up is to find out how he is approaching. Set up a trap that will alert you to his presence, but not deter him. Something that gets activated by weight is good.

Next when he approached, put the mask on, put the gun in your pocket, grab the bladed tool and run out and hide in an obscure place. Hope he comes to your door but if he comes to the window, that's fine too.

When he stops, run but try to do so silently. When you're within ten meters of him, start the chain saw and lift it in a manner that makes it look like you're going to strike him. He should run away at this point. Chase him for a while, swinging the chainsaw wildly, but after a while, drop the chainsaw and take out the gun. Keep running and shoot all of the rounds.

After that, he will probably never show up again.

What I do is whenever I hear shit outside (I'm paranoid too), I got this bigass hunting knife in my room. Stick one of those things in your pants and be ready to grab for it when he's got you pinned on the ground. He'll never know what hit 'em.

There are a number of solutions that may provide relief from the nighttime stalking. Please note that this post is purely informative and I do not in any way encourage you to take any of the below actions. I do not live in Sweden so I do not have any idea what the local laws are--highly recommend consulting with a local lawyer before embarking on any of these courses of action. As always with posts of this nature, the actor, not the poster, bears all responsibility for any consequences arising from any techniques bearing either a substantive or superficial resemblance to the ones listed below.

Deterrent/warning/nuisance
  • Paint dispenser
    Basically a device that either drops or sprays paint on him, or splats him with a paintball. Good for tagging down the target so you know who is sneaking up on your house at night.
  • Stink dispenser
    Same philosophy as the paint device, but with a foul/irritating fluid. Best choices include butyric acid (harmless but smells like rancid butter, obtainable from any chemical company or even your high school chemistry lab.) Alternatively, you could also make a homemade stink solution of ammonia and match-heads--just swirl the match-heads around in ammonia, seal the container, wait two days, and you have a solution of ammonium sulfate, which is what goes into commercial and military stink bombs. Spray/drop/splash your assailant if he intrudes.
  • Light trap
    Some other people have already posted about this in the thread: basically a triggering system that turns on a powerful light, like a commercial floodlamp. Best if combined with the noise trap below:
  • Noise trap
    Fire up your loudest, most jarring track of music (or annoying noise like an alarm clock) and set it to go off if he gets near.


Painful but (usually) non-lethal
  • Caltrops
    + Show Spoiler [What is this?] +
    [image loading]

    Caltrops are an antipersonnel weapon made up of two or more sharp nails or spines arranged in such a manner that one of them always points upward from a stable base (for example, a tetrahedron). They cheap and easy to make--all it requires is two long-ish (10cm) nails to make one. So with a box of 500 nails (should be cheap, less than 20 euros), you can make over 250 caltrops and scatter them about your front porch/the grass in your yard. Best idea is to put in the grass or buy a shaggy rug and hide them in there, as they will not be visible. Also remember to spray paint them black or brown so they don't shine in the moonlight. Depending on the thickness of his shoes, the assailant will get a 1-2cm deep wound to the sole of his foot and lose the use of that foot (since the caltrop will be stuck to his shoe), which is usually enough to give you the decisive edge in any physical encounter.
  • Nail Heads on Carpet
    Same philosophy as the caltrop, but easier to clean up. Drive nails through the bottom of a rug so that the sharp end sticks up, and superglue or epoxy them in place from the back side. Space them about 5cm apart in a triangular pattern. When you need to dispose of the trap, simply pick up the rug and move it.
  • Aerosol Flame Trap
    Basically a trap that incorporates a lighter, an aerosol can, and a triggering device. Assailant triggers lighter and aerosol spray, which sends a 1-meter jet of flame in a set direction for approximately 3-10 seconds (depending on how much fuel is in the spray can). The flame will not be hot enough to set him on fire, but will scare him and cause minor burns.
  • Mace Canister/CS dispenser/Mustard Gas dispenser
    Same philosophy as the stink dispenser, but uses irritating/painful chemical agents this time. Mace is commercially obtainable and usually comes in nice spray bottles that you can easily hook up to an automated triggering system. The other two have the advantage of being much more painful than Mace, but also dangerous to yourself as well. Use with care. Your assailant will likely be incapacitated after an encounter like this, and will require medical attention if the chemical amount is high enough.


Potentially Lethal
  • 00 Buckshot Trap
    You do not need a firearm for this trap to work, although it makes it much easier. If you do have a shotgun, simply wire it to go off when someone triggers a pressure plate or tripwire. If you don't, use a thickened metal pipe and an improvised firing pin. Pipe strength is not critical as the "barrel" only has to withstand one shot. The advantage of this is that spread of 00 Buckshot out of a 15-20 cm unchoked barrel is about the size of a fist at 10 meters, which means that you can place this trap well out of sight of an entryway, or it can guard all the windows and doors along an entire wall as opposed to just one point of egress. If you want to tone down the lethality, substitute a lighter load of shot (or beanbag shot) for the device, and/or place at knee/ankle level to disable movement.
  • Spring-loaded axe/knife/machete
    Basically a device that swings a blade down a predetermined path upon triggering. The ideal path for a thrusting movement is usually upwards through the floorboards or downwards from the ceiling at a slight (20 degree-40 degree) angle. The ideal path for a swinging movement is either at abdomen height or neck height (lethal), or from behind towards the back of the knee/hamstring (disabling).
  • FFV 013 / VP 88 / MON-50
    These are the Swedish, Finnish, and Russian versions of the American M18 Claymore directional landmine. Since you live in Sweden, these devices should be the versions that are available if you have the right connections in your local community. Triggering systems include tripwires and infrared laser beam triggers (basically one of the beams that goes across the bottom of a garage door.)

I would hate to stumble upon your house in the middle of the night

If you have floorboards that your door opens to, you can jam a ton of blades into the the wood.
Here is the key, get a ton of that super glue stuff that only dries when pressure is applied/contact is made (usually air-drying can take 1 - 8 hrs). Not only will you cause him to be in a ton of agony, the glue will hold him in place, and seal the wound (you won't be charged with murder/manslaughter). But if he struggles, he will suffer a lot.

LOL. I see why you are called Shady.

Out of his suggestions, the nails through the carpet seems to be the most reasonable one for harming your stalker (and thus increasing survivability). Paint can idea is a good one too for identifying your villain.

Yea if it's a prank and you feel safe, scare the shit out of him given it's legal; I would probably go for a light trap or mace dispenser. If you want to be more subtle you can always camp outside of your house and track him down and fuck him up later.

I forgot to add the last one, should go under painful but non-lethal:

  • Get a Dog
    Get a large attack dog--bonus points if you can find a dog with a vocal cord injury, as they will not be able to bark as loudly (or at all), making sure that your dog retains the element of surprise. And dogs are cute and cuddly too, and if you adopt an injured pet, you've just saved an innocent animal from being put down.

    Fire up your loudest, most jarring track of music (or annoying noise like an alarm clock) and set it to go off if he gets near.


Painful but (usually) non-lethal
  • Caltrops
    + Show Spoiler [What is this?] +
    [image loading]

    Caltrops are an antipersonnel weapon made up of two or more sharp nails or spines arranged in such a manner that one of them always points upward from a stable base (for example, a tetrahedron). They cheap and easy to make--all it requires is two long-ish (10cm) nails to make one. So with a box of 500 nails (should be cheap, less than 20 euros), you can make over 250 caltrops and scatter them about your front porch/the grass in your yard. Best idea is to put in the grass or buy a shaggy rug and hide them in there, as they will not be visible. Also remember to spray paint them black or brown so they don't shine in the moonlight. Depending on the thickness of his shoes, the assailant will get a 1-2cm deep wound to the sole of his foot and lose the use of that foot (since the caltrop will be stuck to his shoe), which is usually enough to give you the decisive edge in any physical encounter.
  • Nail Heads on Carpet
    Same philosophy as the caltrop, but easier to clean up. Drive nails through the bottom of a rug so that the sharp end sticks up, and superglue or epoxy them in place from the back side. Space them about 5cm apart in a triangular pattern. When you need to dispose of the trap, simply pick up the rug and move it.
  • Aerosol Flame Trap
    Basically a trap that incorporates a lighter, an aerosol can, and a triggering device. Assailant triggers lighter and aerosol spray, which sends a 1-meter jet of flame in a set direction for approximately 3-10 seconds (depending on how much fuel is in the spray can). The flame will not be hot enough to set him on fire, but will scare him and cause minor burns.
  • Mace Canister/CS dispenser/Mustard Gas dispenser
    Same philosophy as the stink dispenser, but uses irritating/painful chemical agents this time. Mace is commercially obtainable and usually comes in nice spray bottles that you can easily hook up to an automated triggering system. The other two have the advantage of being much more painful than Mace, but also dangerous to yourself as well. Use with care. Your assailant will likely be incapacitated after an encounter like this, and will require medical attention if the chemical amount is high enough.


Potentially Lethal
  • 00 Buckshot Trap
    You do not need a firearm for this trap to work, although it makes it much easier. If you do have a shotgun, simply wire it to go off when someone triggers a pressure plate or tripwire. If you don't, use a thickened metal pipe and an improvised firing pin. Pipe strength is not critical as the "barrel" only has to withstand one shot. The advantage of this is that spread of 00 Buckshot out of a 15-20 cm unchoked barrel is about the size of a fist at 10 meters, which means that you can place this trap well out of sight of an entryway, or it can guard all the windows and doors along an entire wall as opposed to just one point of egress. If you want to tone down the lethality, substitute a lighter load of shot (or beanbag shot) for the device, and/or place at knee/ankle level to disable movement.
  • Spring-loaded axe/knife/machete
    Basically a device that swings a blade down a predetermined path upon triggering. The ideal path for a thrusting movement is usually upwards through the floorboards or downwards from the ceiling at a slight (20 degree-40 degree) angle. The ideal path for a swinging movement is either at abdomen height or neck height (lethal), or from behind towards the back of the knee/hamstring (disabling).
  • FFV 013 / VP 88 / MON-50
    These are the Swedish, Finnish, and Russian versions of the American M18 Claymore directional landmine. Since you live in Sweden, these devices should be the versions that are available if you have the right connections in your local community. Triggering systems include tripwires and infrared laser beam triggers (basically one of the beams that goes across the bottom of a garage door.)

What the hell did I just read? I don't know if I should be afraid of you or respect you.

There are a number of solutions that may provide relief from the nighttime stalking. Please note that this post is purely informative and I do not in any way encourage you to take any of the below actions. I do not live in Sweden so I do not have any idea what the local laws are--highly recommend consulting with a local lawyer before embarking on any of these courses of action. As always with posts of this nature, the actor, not the poster, bears all responsibility for any consequences arising from any techniques bearing either a substantive or superficial resemblance to the ones listed below.

Deterrent/warning/nuisance
  • Paint dispenser
    Basically a device that either drops or sprays paint on him, or splats him with a paintball. Good for tagging down the target so you know who is sneaking up on your house at night.
  • Stink dispenser
    Same philosophy as the paint device, but with a foul/irritating fluid. Best choices include butyric acid (harmless but smells like rancid butter, obtainable from any chemical company or even your high school chemistry lab.) Alternatively, you could also make a homemade stink solution of ammonia and match-heads--just swirl the match-heads around in ammonia, seal the container, wait two days, and you have a solution of ammonium sulfate, which is what goes into commercial and military stink bombs. Spray/drop/splash your assailant if he intrudes.
  • Light trap
    Some other people have already posted about this in the thread: basically a triggering system that turns on a powerful light, like a commercial floodlamp. Best if combined with the noise trap below:
  • Noise trap
    Fire up your loudest, most jarring track of music (or annoying noise like an alarm clock) and set it to go off if he gets near.

Under the Potentially Lethal option set, here is another method:

  • Grenade In A Can
    A hand grenade works like this: you pull the firing pin, then throw it, at which a spring-loaded handle held flush to the grenade body is set free when the grenade leaves your hand, arming the fuse and beginning the countdown. So the grenade in a can works by pulling the firing pin but jamming the grenade into a steel can. Then you place the can down on the ground and weight it down with rocks (or glue it to the ground). Then you wrap a thin, clear string (piano wire or nylon fishing lines work the best here) around the grenade and thread the other end around a vertical object to form a tripwire. When the wire is pulled, the grenade will pop out of the can and arm itself, and explode; if you can get the variants with a zero-delay fuse (an instantaneous fuse) then the grenade will explode without warning.

    The best grenade to use for this is the Soviet RGD-5, as it is can-sized, cheap, and comes with a zero-delay UZRGM fuse. The grenade itself is usually available in bulk for about $5 (or 4 euros) per unit. It has a guaranteed lethal radius of 3 meters and can inflict fragmentation injuries/shatter glass out to 15 meters, so do not plant one of these close to a window or door. As always, paint the device matte black or brown for low-visibility in nighttime conditions.

Best bet is to leave some outside lights on. Or if you no its not some freaky rapist, ignore it.

If you go down the trap road, please record it xD would be hilarious to see.

Not one bit.


Surround your house in a circle of salt. You can probably get some salt for cheap there, as they must use lots on sidewalks/roads in the winter.

But seriously, go to the police. Tell them you had this already happen twice. At least so it's documented/reported if anything else comes to happen. Even if they can't do anything about it right now like keep guard / patrol.

lol cool blog bro next time you see the sob wandering around your place, just strip off your undies and proceed to jerk off while making eye contact with the lil fucker ... act like his presence arouses you or sth ... if you manage to shoot rainbow on his face then it's fucking jack pot ... that should show him you're the biggest fucking creep in this mother fucking village period ...

now that only works if he's some random punk fuck who thought it's cool to fuck around and make sure he's above age of consent or you could be having some serious pedo charges up your ass ...

if that's some super natural shit tho, be prepared to get raped devil style >:D

in all seriousness, tell some body about this (maybe a friend or two), and ask them to stay over and help you catch the ... whatever it is ... if he's human then 2v1 smack down np ggthx nore ... if he's a demon then at least you get to roll a dice on whether the fucker would kill you or your buddies first lololol

son, u gonna get RAPED.

nah JK. did you tell your parents already? it might be something serious (serial killer or rapist) so you don't wanna take any chances. anyways telling your parents will give you some sense of security and they will be more aware.

good luck


We're talking about Sweden here. There are no serial killers. Homosexual teen rapists are abundant tho.

you can do:
1. Record the fool
2. Prepp the shotgun
3. He might be trying to break into your house, so tell your parents since it concerns a safety issue, nobody will think any less of you.

This thread is a nice example of what might happen to you if you step onto the wrong soil in the US.

-> baseball bats
-> shotguns
-> bear traps

In Norway instead, people will chase you away with massive flashlights.

OP, did you play a lot of minecraft in your life?

Next time you are afraid of something, recite the following:

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing......Only I will remain."


you already confronted your stalker by asking "who are you?". that was very good. you are a brave person, believe me. if you really were a coward you would not have been able to do that.

what to do next is up to you. i see two possibilties:

do you want to make your stalker fear you? in that case arming yourself seems like a good idea, but please don't use that weapon. you don't want to hurt / be the murderer of a stupid kid that just wanted to scare you a little. so when chosing your weapon go for looks, not how deadly it is. big knife, baseball bat, something like this sounds good. chainsaw is overkill i'd say, takes way to long to start that thing. there are a lot of options to scare people without weapons, the "light-trap" given in this thread seems very promising. i love the idea of openly fapping to the image of your stalker aswell. might be the scariest option.

even better could be to not care about scaring your stalker. next time (s)he appears, laugh at the mask and tell the person that you are not scared and will now call the police.

best idea is to get help from family and friends. setting up a trap with friends sounds like a funny experience, weekend starts tomorrow, would be a good thing to do instead of binge drinking or just watching tv all night.
Non-native speaker, those prepositions are so hard to know.

Hows the search for a beartrap coming? P.S. You can always replace the metal teeth with rubber teeth. That way it just catches him and doesn't maim him for life.

Edit: Or not, i'm not here to judge.
