The first story reminded me of some advice I heard once. if you think someone is following you in your car; make 4 left turns in a row. If they actually follow you in a complete circle around the block using the most inconvenient of turning directions; they are following you. Don’t drive towards home. The nearest police station would be a good idea. Or somewhere else with a high likelihood of people and cameras.
Banks and gas stations are usually completely covered with cameras. You can stop for gas, that is pretty valid reason to stop somewhere for few minutes and your follower will probably not want to stay there with you. And if they try to get to you, well, just aim the gas pistol on their face and press the lever. If you have a lighter, they will probably not risk it. And they will be unwilling to use a gun, because muzzle flash is strong enough to ignite the fuel and who would risk it, covered in gasoline? Not to mention that gasoline is pretty nasty in eyes, nose and mouth.
When I was being followed by a large man with a crowbar (he got out of his car at one point at a red light and I saw it in his hand), I used GPS to find the nearest police station. That worked.
If you're near a military installation, and have access, go through the gate. EVERY vehicle is stopped and IDs are checked. Will give you a chance to ditch follower
It's like I tell my girls at work "if you're being followed or feel uncomfortable, don't be afraid to act crazy, I've seen y'all do it before". Sometimes you just gotta channel the crazy
Story 2: Sounds like OP found a cult, or at least that's what tends to happen in horror media. This is basically a lesson that a building may look abandoned, but that doesn't mean it isn't being used
I thought the same. At first i thought it was the kkk but since op didn't mention white hoods or anything I discarded the theory...could be Satanist or something
Sounds like an Amish church. Sometimes they have night services, usually for special services though like weddings or funerals. It would explain the candle/flashlight mix and the old Testament style in a different language. Also Ohio currently has more Amish than Pennsylvania but less people are aware because they mostly live in very rural regions like the south and east.
Story 3: the fact that mans said "There's nothing to cry about yet" really makes my minds got too a lot of bad outcomes and the best one probably being kidnapping.
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 The way the dude said "yet" has many implications. 3 men on 1 girl they could easily r*pe her, kidnap her, traffick her, there's so much that could go wrong.
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 They mean the _best_ case scenario, the men were _only_ planning to kidnap her. They most likely intended to do way _worse_ stuff that would get RU-vid videos demonetized for even mentioning it.
I have to say that first story really bothers me. The fact that the manager knew about these guys and they had repeatedly been harassing the female workers as well as other employees and the manager didn’t think to contact the police at any point??? Men in a group, stalking people, waiting for people to be alone outside in ambush and they didn’t think, “Hey, that seems like really dangerous and criminal activity that could result in somebody being kidnapped or murdered, maybe I should call somebody about that.”
@@SoulGlaive100% real, I've already been stalked by men twice my age in a supermarket when I was a teenager, not believing victims is what leads to more victims, shame on you
Considering how hard it is for victims of stalking to get recourse usually, I’m not at all surprised. I’m sure she called the police more than once and nothing came of it. And corporate probably won’t let them ban anyone.
The people snatchers don't just target women. I had one weird case with that classic "white windowless van" scenario. Went to a store that stays open late, but was more in the evening, around 7pm. As soon as I parked, a white van parked right next to me on the left side. Their side door was right next to the drivers side door. This felt TOO obvious. The entire parking lot was practically empty and they decide to park right next to me in that fashion? I decided to test this obviousness and drove forward instead of parking, getting into another parking spot. The van FOLLOWED me and sat in the spot to my left, again their side door up against the driver side door. At this point I don't know what the feeling was, but it was a mix of fear, confusion, and "seriously?" I thought I'd let them know that I know what's going on so I did it a THIRD time. And once again, they followed and parked next to me. Now it was just stupid enough for me to come to my senses and call the police instead of continuing to test this obvious kidnapping attempt. Soon as I pulled out the phone, the van peeled out of their spot and sped through the parking lot and around the corner of the store. Once the cops got there I told them what happened and they agreed that it was one of those more perplexing kidnapping attempts they heard of. Beyond that they went in to talk to the store owner and another escorted me home. Don't know what happened after that.
Well, the good news is that at your would-be kidnappers were so ludicrously obvious about it that you were easily able to avoid them. They don't sound all that bright (fortunately for the people they target).
The manager of the Target or OP should have called the police to inform them about reviewing the video for identification purposes also the parking lot video! The way this story reads is, I'm safe & everyone else is on their own, from both OP & the manager! 😢
Oh, boy. Story 3 was one of the best lies I've ever heard from a situation like that. 1. Her crying and call to her brother made it believable. 2. It suggests she's crazy enough to shoot someone. 3. She might still be armed. And 4. The cops are after her and may be almost there at that very moment. No wonder those guys took off!
Story 3: As someone from the baltimore area, you do NOT go west of MLK boulevard. That area is hella sketchy, projects as far as the eye can see and the police dont even go there.
a friend of mine told me it's fairly universal to stay away from streets named after civil rights leaders. and that the inverse is also true, in that streets sharing a name with a notorious historical figure typically happen to be nice neighborhoods
2nd story: No no, in a real horror movie the dumb protagonists would either stay there camping, or actually approach the church. And then get murdered by cultists.
Same thing happened to me in a Walmart when I was 12. Except I’ve always been a paranoid fuck who’s watched channels like Rslash, so I noticed the guy and started running. Scariest thing is he also started running until I got to the front of the store where a cop helped me find my dad. Edit: same thing from the first story
What makes me upset about the first story, besides the kidnapping creeps, is that OP didn't immediately call the police and have them there before those creeps left. Now they will show up again and continue to harrass shoppers and may get away with it. Very disturbing and disgusting.
Here's the thing about cops, they wont do anything until after something reportedly happens and "I think these guys are following me" isn't enough to get their attention. It's on the store to inform police and provide evidence and the most that would come if it is a trespassing charge. The justice system is reactionary not preventative.
@@kaylawoodbury2308yes, that may be true but there is enough evidence of them following people around witch in some states is a form of harassment. Like being stalked, in some states cops will do something about it. Though, that is assuming it's in the US.
@@amalieshelbyeven then, there not much they can do. Probably a slap on the hand or state “there’s not enough evidence to convict these people of kidnapping” the only thing it could do is have the police recognize face and the van
@@ajjean2720 well, I'm not a cop, judge, or lawyer. So I don't know what they can do. I just said in SOME states. I'm no expert or claimed what they can do, I literally just said in some states they can do something, but idk what that something is. It literally varies state to state and how severe the crime is.
Story 2: If you see a church or building with no roads and you can't even find a trail, it means no one is meant to know about its existence. I knew the moment OP said they sang and had some sort of sermon, they saw OP and his friend camping out there and were coming to get them for God knows what. That is horrifying.
Something I heard about was that if you have noticeable tattoos then you’ll be less likely to be human trafficked, because the tattoo would make yourself more identifiable
When my ex-wife and I first got married, there was a Mexican lady handing out samples at the grocery store my ex worked at. The lady took a keen interest in her and offered to take her on a private flight to Mexico - just her, without going through customs or telling family and friends where she was going. The lady offered to get her on a plane that evening or the next day.
Kinda reminds me of my friend's former live-in domestic worker/babysitter. She was from a neighbouring country. My friend had 3 kids under 5 at that time. The worker kept saying how beautiful they were and kept asking for their passports so she could bring them for a day trip to one of her country's islands. Luckily my friend had kept the passports under lock and key. Friend always warned the worker not to bring the children out for outings. But she ultimately did when friend and hubs were at work. She thought she was being secretively clever at it but my friend found out within an hour of her leaving the house with the 2 younger children. And that led to the worker being fired and sent back.
Ooh, this is way more like what might actually be real. Might. This video is reawakening my interest in tracking down modern "White Slavery" stories and working out what's real and what's not. Better than scrolling through RU-vid all night, I guess!
The human trafficking story furthers my resolve to dye my hair purple and keep close ties with my family and friends. It’d be obvious if I went missing and hard to hide me.
First story happened to me in an eastern European country. Eight people trailing me through the market and then following me into a library. I made photos of all I could and went for a police station as soon as possible. They were known as associated with a gang. Scary stuff is scary!
I unfortunately have a similar story. I was waiting for my mom in my car outside of Walmart when I noticed something very strange. These two guys had pulled up behind the car across from me and they were just idling there. At first I dismissed it but they didn't move. After several minutes had gone by and they still hadn't left I was like, no this is suspicious af. I sat up straighter in my car, locked eyes with the driver and put up my phone to record what they were doing. Immediately they drove away. Which made me even more suspicious but hey maybe they'd left and that was the end of it. No. They had pulled back around and were waiting in another spot where they had a clear view of that car. I got out of my car so they could see me and called 911, again making eye contact with one of the dudes. Who immediately left. After a few minutes, a young, pretty woman by herself came out and went over to the car. Which confirmed it for me. I approached her and let her know what I'd seen. And as I was talking to her I saw the guys come around AGAIN. But they saw us standing together and drove off and this time I saw them actually leave the parking lot. She didn't want to wait there for the cops, I don't blame her. So I just cautioned her to be very careful and wherever she was driving to, try to have someone waiting outside to meet her. The cops took forever to get there and took my statement but didn't seem very interested. I haven't heard anything from them about it.
One day, in my early-mid twenties, I was driving through a neighborhood when I saw these 2 dudes getting ready to fight in the middle of the road. Then, a couple dozen people came off their porches, all headed toward the one guy. He runs his mouth a bit more, while backing away. He then turns, sees my vehicle, and starts running toward me. I, not being a fan of unfair fights, throw open my passenger door, fully intent to rescue this dude; then, the guy who first squared up with this guy yells "He r@p=d my sister!" I slammed and locked that door so fast. His face was like: 😏😲😟 Put me in a weird mental position of "I hope you're not lying; but I hope that's not true."
Story 2: if I had to guess, op found a little congregation that sings plainsong. There are congregations that still sing by lining out, like they did before people were literate. The result is is often sounds like wailing to the uninitiated. Look up the guide me thou great Jehovah recording with the Smithsonian if you want to hear what this sounds like
yeah that's what I was thinking. We learned about it in my music history class last semester. I'd personally put money on it being a congregation of Old Order Mennonites, since they're known to have populations in Ohio. The language was almost certainly Latin, but I wouldn't count out Pennsylvania Dutch, since that's the language generally associated with Old Order Mennonites
Yeah, this story is so bizarre. We found this... this _church!_ "Yeah?" No, you don't see, there were _people_ in this church! And they were _praying!_ "That is what they're generally for, yes." _But they were singing hymns!_ "You don't get out much, do you?" _In Latin or something?!_ "Again, a not-at-all uncommon practice for very normal religions... are you high right now?" *_tHe MeMbErS wUs HoLDiN' hAnDs!!!1_* Looks at the camera like they're on the office.
My sister once had a job at a gas station. One night, she notices this dude staring at her from the other side of the hotdog counter. She's kinda used to it, doesn't think much of it, and goes to clean something on that side of the store. When she gets around the other side of the hotdog counter, dude's pants are on the ground and he is full-metal jackin' it. He runs into the bathroom, pants still around his ankles, meat still in hand, and locks the door. Naturally, my sister calls the cops. Something like 45 minutes later (that's considered a fast response time for our local PD) the cops show up and have to physically drag this guy out of the bathroom. He still wasn't finished; they had to forcibly remove his hand from his joystick. I mean, they almost literally caught the guy white-handed. 😂
Story 1 - Now that the OP feels she's escaped being kidnapped for human trafficking, it's time to reconsider her "personal safety" setup. From what the OP wrote I don't get any sense that she's gone through self-defense training really because the setup she has seems very impractical. But before that let's discuss "red flag" vs "yellow flag" - if something feels wrong where you might not be sure but your instincts say "danger"... listen to the instincts. Don't wait for things to become red flags. It's OK to leave the area if you feel something is off. And now back to her "everyday carry" .. Kubaton - if the bad guy is close enough to deploy this, they're already too close and can overpower the victim. Alarm - only good if there's someone else around who can (or will) help. Handcuff keys - only good if the perp is going to use handcuffs, plus you gotta keep that key some place where you can access it after you get cuffed.
That first story ... gave me chills. I was walking my dog in a rest area. It was the middle of the night and a young man dressed exactly as described slowly and silently walks towards me. My dog is small but very protective. I said very loudly, "He will bite! Back away please." I had to say this two more times before he left. It was eerie because of how silent even his steps were. Even my dog wasn't alerted to his presence until I said something.
I have a small but very loud dog. If a leaf falls a block away I will know about it. But having him with me makes me feel safe enough to live alone and still watch criminal minds or listen to these stories. The fact that you had to repeat the biting warning is very creepy.
A year or two ago my dad drove to Oklahoma to get a puppy (we are a few states over). On his way back, he obviously needed to find a place so the puppy could use the bathroom. It was getting dark too. He pulled off the highway and found the only place to park somewhere: a rundown restaurant parking lot in the middle of nowhere. As he's walking the puppy around another car pulls into the lot and just sits there. My dad said he started feeling uneasy, so he started putting the dog in the car. A single person emerged from the other vehicle and started walking towards my dad. So, naturally, my dad hurried up and started getting behind the wheel. Then this random person runs FULL SPEED towards my dad as he's backing out and even tries to jump onto the bed of his truck. Luckily my dad was moving fast enough and got out of there in time.
9 times out of 10 a male employee will walk you to your car if you ask! Just make sure you ask a manager to make sure that everyone is on the same page👍🏻
Back in my crazy years, I was in Bellville and would've sworn a car was tailing me. I was on the main drag and did a quick Crazy Ivan to see if that was indeed the case. Yep, after the first yooey I got a good look at the guy, and saw him pull a yooey behind me after he passed. So I did another yooey and passed him *again* and waved. Got to the expressway, and knew that while my car was underpowered, it rode like it was on rails. So I hit the cloverleaf and took each loop so that I ended up in the same direction as I was originally going, but the guy was well behind me and falling behind. Took off down the expressway and put enough distance that I don't think he saw where I was going. Next exit, cut left, went a ways and got off the road and onto the grass, backed up behind a bush. Waited like 5-10min and no one of note passed by. Zigzagged down the local streets figuring that as long as I headed north-ish, I'd hit the expressway at some point and could go down the service road until I could get on again. Got home without incident, but that was weird.
Story 2 reminds me of when my buddy accidentally stumbled onto a KKK meeting in one of the cornfields (he lives in rural OK), he survived but now he knows to be careful out there.
A friend of mine tells a chilling story about his dad taking him to a KKK meeting in the mountains right on the VA WV border when he was only like 7 or 8 where he witnesses a literal lynching. This would be 50 years ago and fortunately, he turned out to be one of the nicest and least racist people you will ever meet.
These are the subreddits that got me listening to rslash years ago! I've been waiting impatiently for several years. thanks rslash for creating my daily routine by luring me in with these creepy stories and helping give so many tips in life.
Story 1: That happened to my wife. She went to Wally World wearing pigtails. 4 men and a woman as started following her. She got away and got home safely.
I think its more that run down churches in the middle of the woods at night with chants you don't understand aren't normal to most. If that's not something you're used to it can freak people out.
First story: During my first year of college, a friend's older brother and his friends thought it was funny to take their dad's white windowless work van to Walmart to try to freak out random girls. They would follow them in the store wearing old, ill-fitting dress clothes and casually sit in the parking lot trying to look menacing. They technically never physically did anything to anyone, but these kids are so dumb. I'm not saying this is a common thing, but it definitely happens more than it should.
i've been listening to rslash since his channel first started and his videos have been part of my morning routine for so long I don't know what i'd do without it
A very similar thing happened to me in a Target in VA a couple months ago (on my husband’s acct)!! The only difference was it was in broad daylight. Apparently there was a guy following me around the whole store, “tailing [me] like a shark”. I didn’t even notice! Thank goodness the Target security team were awesome! A security guard came up to me to tell me what was going on and escorted me through the checkout and out to my car. I’m so thankful for them! I hate to think what would have happened if they weren’t as good at their job as they were!
I really hope this can reach someone who needs to hear it. If you’re being followed in a public space by a stranger you think can harm you, here's what to do. You find an employee or fellow shopper/ security/ bystander/ try to start a casual conversation as if you know them already, and make the universal hand signal for help. It’s a discreet way to ask for help in an unsafe situation that doesn’t alert your pursuer so they can escape or get backup. Trust me, this could save your life
If you can’t get away to find an employee in a grocery store, and you are genuinely terrified, break something glass and loudly exclaim how sorry you are to attract attention. (Also, I find that young women especially are trained to not be loud, practice being loud and clear) I worked at a grocery store and the second I hear glass I go to the source because we are trained to get that sh@t cleaned up. You can also claim you cut yourself on the glass (hold your hand to your chest to hide it) to get an employee to take you to the first aid kit, which is usually in an office or break room so you can be away and ask for help. You may have to pay for what you broke but better than being kidnapped.
The first story reminded me of the time this guy followed me around the supermarket. It was during COVID when everyone was sick of wearing masks, but I still chose to wear one because I had a baby at home. I’m also Asian so I think it could be an attributing factor. It was late, I just got off of work, but I still needed to do some shopping for lunch tomorrow. As I was shopping, there’s this guy in his 50s or older, white hair, Caucasian, who started to just stare menacingly at me. I thought nothing of it at first until he started to follow me. He followed me down three aisles, and like the lady in the story, I started testing by going down two random aisles to see if he’s still following me. Sure enough, he was. So I went down an aisle where I saw a staff member stocking the shelves and asked him a random question. From the corner of my eye, the man was about to turn in, but quickly went ahead to another location. I stuck around that aisle for a good 10 minutes, before I got up to walk. Then I went down some aisles just to make sure the guy wasn’t around, browsing for another 15 mins. As I exited the store, I took out my phone and called my husband, making sure he’s on the line as I walked to my car. For the next year, I refused to go shopping alone.
Jeezus, that last story, man! I always lived by my motto of "out-crazy the crazy" when going home after late-night shifts, but "out-danger the danger" works, too. Nobody wants cops in their shit
If it's any consolation it's likely fake or grossly exaggerated by some Karen with a kidnapping fantasy. Not to say things like abduction/SA don't happen but her story does not sound believable. Do be careful but don't let anonymous stories on the internet dictate how you live your life.
The second story pretty much sounds like some sort of vigil mass? Just church songs, a priest reading and the people replying before returning in procession. Happens litterally every Easter. Usyally not outside, but then again, not everywhere has an old church in the woods. Just sniggering that someone finds mass to ve 'get the hell out of here' creepy. They probably would have just handed out a song booklet. Also happy to wager that the foreign language was Latin.
The weird thing is the no road or trail to the building. Trails can become overgrown, but most normal Churches even if used by a small group will likely have trail even if it is faint. OP sounds like the kind of person that would notice a trail. You don't want to stealth camp near a trail (human or game), after all. Only anondanded churches and cults would have no trail at all. No trail makes it suspicious, a trail would make it quaint.
I have never seen a church used for anything good have no doors or windows...I also don't trust people searching in the dark in my direction after exiting said 'church' and not in the direction they definitely arrived from.
Under thirty min gang..First story- if it wasn't trafficking they were definitely up to something and watching you while following you definite big big red flag
@@cynister7384 because the story is exactly that. A completely made up fantasy. If that had really happened, then why were no news links cited. For ridiculous sounding stories that involved attempted kidnapping and the police. The poster used to have to provide evidence and would either provide a link to the news story or at least tell us where to look up said news articles
@@gooner7331 You say that, "Goon" 🙄, but even if this one is made up (and there's no evidence of that), it's NOT a made-up story for a lot of women and even some men. S3x trafficking is a thing. Get your head out of the sand or go pound it. This exact scenario with much worse endings happens every day.
Last story reminds me of when I was driving up to Great Lakes Navy Base from home in Florida, to begin my US Navy hitch, early 1980s. This being my second enlistment, first having been USAF, I was going in as an "OSVET" - Other Service Veteran, thus why I had my POV with me. Recruits aren't allowed POVs (privately owned vehicles) during bootcamp. So I'm driving at about midnight on the interstate through Chicago. Suddenly I am whizzing down an unexpected offramp, and find myself in a dingy part of the city, cobblestone road, soot blackened brick buildings - looked like something out of the 1930s. Making sure my car's doors were locked and windows up, I used the compass I had mounted to head North. Anything North. I finally reconnected onto the Interstate. Who knew being on a six lane highway in the third lane from the right would sling me off!? 😮
Story 2, kind of ironic they called them Stand By Me trips, since that movie is based on a Stephen King short story, sounds like they crossed over into another of his works lol
Story 2: "old abandoned church" HAUNTED!!!!!! I don't care what you think of other certain places that may or may not be haunted. My city has an old, OLD historical atmospheric theatre. You know, a theatre that's built in the style of an old royal castle and/or garden with a twinkling night sky on the ceiling. It's one of the last 5 atmospheric theatres created by John Eberson that's still standing. We, in my city, all believe that it's haunted and haunted by lots of different ghosts. An abandoned CHURCH is most definitely haunted. How could it not be? The minute OP said singing, I said "Oh no". They're like sirens!!! The ghosts are luring you to your doom, cover your ears OP!
The scariest part is the difference in reactions you get in men and women. Women have to notice every single odd ting out while most men seem to be completely oblivious. You try to point out a potential creep to a guy and often it's a naive dismissal.
I remember when I would visit my friend’s house, they would tell me about a time they had collected a bunch of sap from the many maple trees that grew in our area. They then boiled the sap in their kitchen. Let me tell you, if you have wall paper (they did at the time) that is a BAD idea. The wall paper was steamed off of the walls from all the boiled off water. A sugar shack is a really good idea.
Just a FYI on human trafficking: there are several types of pimps, including but not limited to gorilla pimps and Romeo pimps. Gorilla pimps basically match Hollywood's version of pimps; they use force to control their victims. Romero pimps are the most common type and capitalize on the victim's need to feel loved, seen, and desired. They promise to fulfill the victim's needs and vulnerabilities while cutting them off from friends and family. It's not hard to make a teen who feels awkward and misunderstood fall in love and then break them further by making them feel guilty, ashamed, worthless and disoriented. Traffickers shop for victims online, at shopping malls, bus stops, and schools... They just need to see someone who looks lost and alone. What I'm getting at is that it isn't usually as flagrant as snatching a victim into a van. Be vigilant.
It’s not a “let’s not meet” in that it doesn’t include potentially dangerous people. But I’d still rather not meet whatever animal my friend saw. A few friends and I were just driving around in the middle of nowhere in the woods. We went to an old abandoned little building in the woods that one of the girls we were with (who was fairly local) told us was known as “haunted” We all got out of my friends suv, and began poking around. I was trying to chat up one of the girls, when suddenly one of my friends started freaking out, and telling us we all needed to gtfo of there. He sounded scared enough that none of us questioned him, we all just booked it back to the car and took off. As we drove we asked what he saw. He said he looked through the window and saw a pair of very cat-like eyes. At first we laughed, “maybe it was a cat Sean” and he angrily clarified that it was BIG cat-like eyes. So I don’t know what kind of big wildcat he saw in that old abandoned place, but maybe it was a good idea to bolt.
I got followed home for 20 minutes once, but I realized bc they were really bad at it. Went to pass me, then slowed down and got back behind me. I pulled into a grocery store and freaked out because they reversed and parked beside the store. The employees went out and they were gone but they called the police who took a report and followed me home.
Guys. The "cult" is an Amish church. Here's my math: A rustic (not actually abandoned, clearly) church in rural Ohio, with no modern road leading up to it, with congregants singing in a language that isn't English (say, perhaps, German?), and "shaking" lights, like - candle lanterns? Dude just got spooked by an Amish church. People are funny.
The first story really highlights why it’s dangerous for women to worry about being rude over their safety. The fact that she turned and looked them in the eye and asked for help is huge, good for her
Story 2: "we found an abandoned church in the woods, and there was a satanic cult chanting in the middle of the night! Then they started coming for us!" 🙄🙄🙄 This whole subreddit is some incredibly ridiculous amateur fiction, huh?
The first story too😂 "I will never forget the darkness in his eyes. An eerie smirk formed on his face as he nudged my shoulder continuing to stare me down, walking backwards to hold his sinister gaze as he exited out the store".I only see those kind of sentences in fanfics, like... there is no need to be this much narrative when you describe your own experience
I was convinced that rSlash was gonna say that the Cult in Story 2 were gonna come out in white sheets, and pointy hats. Like my ass legit thought it was gonna be about KKK.
*Op finds an abandoned church in the woods *Me a paranoid, Pagan who saw one too many horror movies about abandoned buildings in the middle of nowhere *NOPE!*
The last story reminds me of years ago when I was a teen, I got lost in the city. I called my dad from a pay phone and he didn't tell me until I got home that he was trying hard not to panic while giving me directions after I told him the cross streets where I was. Nothing happened, luckily, but it was apparently a bad area of town. The fun we had before cell phones and GPS in cars.
Story 1: if you feel scared like this, legit yell at the person. Make a scene, get angry and draw attention to the situation. People tend to feel like they have to be nice when someone is making them uncomfortable (myself included sometimes), but if you feel uncomfortable and you know someone is following you then get angry and make a scene. The more they people notice what's going on the better.
Kidnappings used to happen a lot in my hometown. It got to the point where the sheriff told us we wouldn't get in any legal trouble if we shot a kidnapper. It was pretty easy to know who the kidnappers were since it's a small town where everybody knows everybody and it was easy to spot people with bad intentions.
Back in Alaska I used to find candy hanging on the trees at the edge of the forest. There was more leading in but everyone knew not to follow the candy trails because there were people in the forest that would use them to kidnap kids. I'd find small bikes and clothing in bushes all the time nearby in bushes.
That last story reminds me of my great aunt (I think this also happened in the 70’s) she was incredibly beautiful (like, she had celebrities ask her out back then beautiful) and her and her husband got into an argument so he left her on the side of the road to walk home, she got picked up by a trucker who offered to drive her to town, but half way through the drive he started acting really creepy towards her so she said she started muttering nonsense to herself and acting like she was crazy. He apparently stayed silent and dropped her off as soon as he could lol.

@silverflight01 unfortunately the police can't do anything until a crime has been committed. Apparently, following multiple people around isn't a crime. 🥺
