As someone who currently has a neighbor stalker I can say people really do take time off work to do this shit. This is what happens when Netflix raises their prices
As a child that was literally one of my biggest fears, once I had this weird roof over my bedroom where there was space between it and the actual roof, and there was also this hole that could lead you there, once when I was trying to sleep I though I heard someone breathing, I almost shit myself.
i think we did have someone living in our attic at one of our houses a long time ago. we would hear lots of rustling coming from above, especially when it was dead quiet & everyone was sleeping or just playing a game quietly before going to bed. my sister says she thought she saw someone run past behind her while she was doing her makeup once. i would hear what sounded like my moms screen to her window getting moved, & even saw it removed from the frame when none of us had done it.. my friend, who was living with us, probably experienced the worst shit though: one night, when my friend was the only one home, she was playing some games & went out to the kitchen to make a snack. the front door was wide open (it was locked previously), with our cats & dogs out front. she quickly got them back inside & locked the door. she grabbed a large butcher knife & went looking around, seeing that the screen was removed from my moms window AGAIN with the window slightly open. she couldnt find anyone, but she slept with a knife under her pillow that night there were a lot of weird things that happened in that house that points to someone living in the attic honestly. we would also run out of some food items really fast; like, much faster than normal this is honestly so much scarier than some ghost or goblin or whatever. if they were real, id much rather have a ghost haunting my attic, than some weirdo spying on me who could like actually kill me
My absolute favorite moments of any stream are when Charlie turns on his chat, calls them on their bullshit, and roasts them. "You're not the protagonist of an anime"
It's these kinds of people that really make me wanna move to another planet. I can't imagine what's going on in that old man's head just spying on the family in the attic.
I remember 2 old stories from a while back, the first being a homeless man got arrested for living in someone’s attic, which didn’t take long for the owners to find out, and the previous owner of a house living in a secret secluded room in the basement. I’m pretty sure if I remember correctly that there was also a secret passageway to get in the room from outside the house. Note: Homeless people living on your land is way more common than you would think. Especially in poverty-stricken areas.
Charlie's superhuman facial recognition abilities are further proved by this segment, not just in describing the guy in the attic beforehand (the guy is very distinct looking) but also by instantly recognizing the family and affirming it.
I like how it's now normal to say "it's just a staged video man it couldn't be a owl" When not long ago it was common in horror movies for people to be like "ah you're just freaking out it's probably just a owl or something"
Is that the murder where he covered the mirror & the crime scene was messed up because people came & took pictures with there corpses like tourists so any DNA that could’ve been collected, wasn’t?
There was a guy not that long ago who stalked a family from Hawaii. When they went away on a trip he broke into their house and wrote down how they were "wrong" and he needed to do surgery on them when they returned to "correct" them... I forget exactly how but they noticed he was there before they returned and got him arrested.
Here's something to think about the four other stories: They start and end with their recordings. Even if the couple recorded their encounter with the creeping neighbor, there would still have been a court case and investigation. Yet for the other four, it seems like they started and ended with their recording. If someone saw a humanoid in their attic or on their roof, the cops would have gotten involved, especially with video proof. And the one of the guy being in a box, if he somehow killed the family and ran without getting caught, than why did he not also destroy the device that recorded him or delete the video?
Also, when you decide to check your heater, who in the world starts recording BEFORE climbing the stairs, and then casually glance at it for one second.
I moved into my current apartment about a year ago. I would wake up to fucked up noises coming from my attic. Something large shuffling, some electrical whirring, something that sounded like cutlery on a plate, just weird shit. I live alone and I'm a tall guy that likes to think he can handle himself but I was shitting myself big time. One day a friend was over and the backup gave me the courage to go into the attic and honestly shit was fucking crazy. In the far right corner, above my bedroom, there was what looked like an old military army sleeping mat on top of some kind of safety mat you'd see in a gymnasium. On top of that was a red and a blue sleeping bag and used plates with scraps of food on! That wasn't even the weirdest shit, though. There was an old CRT computer. One of those ugly, heavy, cream-coloured motherfuckers from the 90s, and a few old ass games that had to be loaded via CD (Dark Crusade, Age of Empires, Stronghold... Good ass games tbh). It was all plugged into an extension cord leading to some OTHER attic entrance. Unbeknownst to me, I shared an attic with the entire apartment block that was beside my apartment. Their entrance was in a communal corridor and my entrance was in MY corridor. I called the police and let the building owners know and they've since had the attics separated but to this day nobody knows who was living in my attic or for how long they were there. Shit still scares me to be honest, what if he comes back? I'm moving out as soon as the contract is over lmfao.
If it were me I would have just started gaming on his computer, waiting for him to return. When he got back, I would just compliment him on his sick gamer setup. He's probably a cool guy, I'd offer for him to play some mariokart with me in my living room. Also if he wants to continue to stay in the attic, please split the utilities. I can remodel it into an actually halfway decently comfortable interior.
I like how everyone in this reply section thinks this guy is in the wrong for calling the police when a random stranger was living in his house who happens to be a gamer.
I no longer fear strangers living secretly in my attic because I know that the raccoons up there would absolutely let me know if someone invaded their nest.
I'm not surprised there was a water heater in an attic. Speaking as someone who works in the HVAC field, I've had to replace FURNACES in attics. I remember going to this job to a house in a shore area one time. The air conditioner was on a raised platform. This was so if the warea flooded, the air conditioner wouldn't get submerged. So to someone who works in heating and air conditioning, a water heater in an attic is unusual, but not wierd.
This story caused a new type of phobia I never thought could be real, now I constantly check the heating registers in my ceiling for lights or anything moving
Not nearly as crazy as people living in my attic, but when I was a young child I would hear running and scratching noises on the ceiling of my room and I would cry to my parents and sleep in their room. They thought it was just me not wanting to sleep in my room, but eventually they found out squirrels had been climbing up a tree that was like side by side to our house and managed to get into our attic
Yeah but when hes talking to a chat comprised of computer babies, Charlie can safely assume no ones experienced enough in any combat setting to have the fight over flight reflex
It's scarier than any demon, ghost, or ghoul, it's a wild Crackhead. Legends say that a wild Crackhead only has a 0000000000.1% chance of spawning in your house as they generally prefer the abandoned building biome. Be careful when dealing with one as they are known for their aggression and unpredictability, they don't have high hp but if enraged they gain an adrenaline boost, a defense buff that makes them immune to any staggers and boosts damage.
I had a coworker who's aunt was living with some friends, I think somewhere in Ohio or somewhere in that area, and they noticed that her friend's husband's clothes were going missing periodically. At some point, they heard noises from the attic, and one of them reached up with their phone to snap a picture and sure enough, there was a creepy bald dude in the picture that was just squatting in their attic. Shit's wild.
based on the reclusiveness, my guess is schizophrenic. he either hallucinated the family talking about him or thinks they're going to, so he started making a way to watch them to make sure they wouldn't. it makes sense when you're unwell. :/ meds r needed but they're often too paranoid to take them. had a friend of a friend who was forcibly given a shot every 3 months bc when she was unwell she thought her meds contained cameras that would crawl out of her mouth when she slept (evidence: she drooled on her pillow. insisted it never happened before they started giving her the pills. her family claims she drooled even as a baby) & when she was stable she insisted she was cured and didn't need them anymore. violently.
@@touyatodoroki7935 I guess my uncle is an exception, or I don't see the full story. I live with him (schizophrenic) and my dad in the weekends and he mostly talks to himself, does some dumb shit like mounting stuff backwards and he doesn't take care of himself. Nothing too drastic, when he starts wandering off with his mind if you talk to him he snaps back. My dad told me he hallucinated the day he snapped, but I've never seen him myself.
@@Instabruh.User.. haven't seen a single Instagram user who makes even slightly good content. I don't think you'd be the exception (Edit: also reported for "Misinformation"
The fact Charlie thinks you have to be a anime character to take down a guy in a box is pretty funny. If that was an actual attempt at a home robbery and he was jammed up in a box you would be able to absolutely pummel that guy before he could do anything. Especially in an attic where there is probably a hard object you can use to help.
Exactly what I was thinking, like an average male adult could kick the shit out of that person even if they are same size or so, just cause they are in a cardboard box lol
@@CMedia28 exactly bro, I wanna see Charlie stuff himself in a box and watch him attempt to get out quickly let alone with a dude legit kicking/stomping on him. Even with a knife that dude would be pretty screwed.
Everything besides the 1st story was comically goofy with the bad CGI. But Mr Nightmare’s recent video about the crawlspace is actually the scariest shit I’ve seen in a hot minute.
@@bayotic4286 its possible. But with these kinda scary videos I kinda treat them like campfire stories, they don’t have to be real they just have to be relatively convincing.
My attic has loose insulation that will create a ton of dust when moving around, which may have been why he was doing that. Which goes to show just how crazy he is. The fact that he went through the effort despite the attic being that uninhabitable.
I used to rent the 2nd floor above my grandmother's house, until I could afford my own house, one time I traveled to Australia for around 6 years for studies (went back to my home country and went back to Australia numerous times during that period), my grandmother says she hears sounds from above when no one is inside my place, this got so bad I moved out like a month ago (guests and relatives at my grandmother's house report the same thing, too) some creepy shit lol
The fact that Charlie doesn’t think anyone in his chat would defend their house is pretty weird ngl. Tiana better be strapped if Charlie isn’t gonna handle it.
Ah yes, Mr. Nightmare. This man used to be the reason I kept my lights on at night, and now I don't really find his stories that scary. Guess I just grew out of them...
The box guy reminds me of this one time when I was in college. It was night and I left my dorm for a minute to go smoke on this short trail that branched off one of the exits. It was almost pitch black out and the trees were cutting up the light from the nearby parking lot. I got about halfway down the trail and looked off to the side and could see this form about five feet off the side of the trail that I thought was a tree trunk. I looked closer and could make out an outline of somebody just sitting there. Dark hoodie, not moving, not even responding to me waving my hand in their face and saying "hello?". Needless to say I hoofed it back to my room and kind of forgot about it. Still creeps me out to this day because that part of the campus was known for girls getting attacked late at night.
@@centralintelligenceagency6541 the whole joke was that I called it spy on family instead of the Spy X family because the old dude was spying on the Family
This makes me so happy. I Bing mr nightmare like every night. I've listened to every video of his like 14 times. I've always wanted Charly to check him out
I remember being a very small child and going out for halloween for the first time on the street we had just moved to. During the obligatory taking of pictures my mom would do on our front porch of my sister and I in our costumes, we are suddenly hit with eggs from our own roof which overhung the porch we were on. Somehow one of our neighbors kids from next door made it onto our roof and egged my sister and I while possibly being drunk. I still have zero clue how they managed that since there was such a wide span between homes
This kind of reminds me of the man in Ukraine who went into hiding during World War 2 and spends 57 years of his life in the attic. Afterwards, he got rewarded from _Guiness Book of World Records_ for "The Longest Time Spent in the Attic".
thankfully i mainly live in the attic of my house, although sometimes i can hear noises from the 2 main floors below me. sounds like a whole family is living down there!
Sure, but these responses are still triggered based on circumstance. There is no strict tendency for people to go one way or another - such observations are a result of a selective bias. If you genuinely think on a subconscious level, that you can take the threat on (or achieve a different goal - such as helping people around you to survive), you are more likely to have a fight response. But the situation in the video in particular has a very bad dynamic for anyone experiencing it. First off, of all the things that could surprise you in your attic, you would not ever think of a person in your attic. Second, you wouldn't expect them to be waiting and watching through a mostly closed box. Third, them having successfully invaded your privacy is a huge power play on their part - it invokes confusion over how and why they are here, and the mere fact that they have invaded your privacy with such stealth creates the idea of malicious intent as well as serving as a testament to their skill. Fourth, seeing how this guy was mostly hidden, leaving to question whether he was armed, or how buff he is, you don't have a lot of inputs to evaluate it as anything more but a serious threat. In spaces where we feel comfortable and safe, such as our own home, we are the most vulnerable. I don't care how tough you are, your immediate response is going to be fear and make you either freeze or flee in such a situation. At least as a first reaction. That response might change once the immediate shock wears off, or you have additional information to react to (such as seeing their bare hands i.e. them being unarmed).
@@stammesbruder bro dude is in a box. I’m shooting him. Lmao. He doesn’t have the time to do a damn thing much less get out of the box by the time I shoot him. Even if I audibly gasped, I’d say “ah okay just my masks” or something, go get my gun and blast him. I disagree with Charlie here, I think a ton of gun owners and even people who are more tendent to try and break up conflicts would stomp that dude in the box
watching videos like this years ago nearly convinced me that what I was hearing was someone in my barely accesible attic, and not the 2 huge geese that stay on my roof
Thankfully I live in south florida where the atics get unlivably hot and humid. I put a temperature thing up in my atic before and it was 130+ degrees with 100 percent humidity is not survivable lolol
you know, i've been watching a lot of these scary comp channels recently and i've gotta say, living in a midfloor apartment of a complex built this century is the ultimate defense against all things "scary", paranormal or otherwise. No attic, no basement, no attached garage, no window peepers, no building settling noises, and unlikely to be haunted.
I just love the irl effect perspective from a home video camera. The real fear factor is finding someone in your own home that isnt supposed to be there. And they are way too close for comfort. In videos like this, hearing the horror in their voices is contageous to the viewer, these are far more horrifying than any other horror movie i have ever seen. Besides Sinister. I hate that movie to this day.
Okay but when you talked about the Pokémon cards being in there that had me dead bc that’s something I did for a whole summer straight was look for my old Pokémon card collection that ARE WORTH SO MUCH NOW.
My nana had a homeless man in her attic every winter. She lived on a dirt road and it was always foggy so you couldn’t see 5 feet in front of you. So like, he’d be on the side of the road and we wouldn’t see him. Anyway, he liked to creep them all out because he thought it was funny. He hung out in the attic because it was shelter
I can’t decide what irks me more about the second video, the fact that it’s just some dude in eyeshadow and a hoodie, or the fact that the dude filming reacted to a non-existent jumpscare
I like the idea that since there was the "It appeared to be a wrinkly old man" thing, that it was the same guy from the first story just moving to another house to harass.
