Story 1: The Man in the Window
Narrated by: Katy Peterson
A young girl spending the night with her grandma is awoken to a man breaking in through the bedroom window. Frozen in fear, it takes everything in her power to wake her grandma up and scare the man away. One can only wonder what could’ve happened if she’d never woken up that terrifying night.

Story 2: Backwards
Narrated by: Michael Gunter
An evening walk becomes a little weird when a man has an encounter with a backwards walker.

Story 3: Eclipse Stalker
Narrated by: Dacey Else
During the 2026 eclipse in Europe, one man used this night as the prime opportunity to talk to his stalking victim. For days and weeks after that, he followed her everywhere she went. Nowhere was safe.

Story 4: Community
Narrated by: Chelsea Spirito
One girl's desire for community leads her to a church that made her feel too welcome. Just when she was feeling good about everything, she realized that she was in the midst of a cult, the Moonies, to be exact.

Story 5: Real Life Batman
Narrated by: Maxwell Glick
On a late-night drive to his friend's house, one man finds himself encountering a creature that can only be described as a Batman. With wings, talons, fangs, and steely blue eyes, this bat flies right along as he drives. He eventually loses him, only to be surrounded by an explosion that rocks his van, almost sending him over. He makes it safely to his friend's house, but he’s never quite the same after that night.
