Man in the Window

submitted by Jennie

this story is true, whether you believe it or not...I know its true because it happened to me.

There was this family, the martinez family, they had two kids one boy and one girl. And one night the martinez parents wanted to go out and have a night to themselves, so the wife Alexia, called their usual babysitter Jennie (which is me) and asked if I wanted to babysit, I answered yes (unfortunately). Well they live in the backwoods of wisconsin, where its always snowing, and that night there was about two feet of snow on the ground. The martinez' just had their house built, so they didnt have any blinds or curtains for the windows yet, so Mrs. Martinez told Jennie (myself) who didnt know the new housse to well, i was use to the old one, not to be scared because of the big windows...and there were windows everywhwere you turned. So the martinez' said not to wait up, they would be back late. So I watched the kids, time seemed to go by fast, we baked cookies,we watched a couple of movies, and read a few books, then it started getting late. So I told the kids to go take their baths and when they're done I'll come tuck them in and read them a story. So I did.

The kids had been asleep for about thirty miutes, I was just sitting on the couch (the couch is not against the wall, its facing the window) reading a book, when I looked up, and there was a man in the window wearing all black...when I looked down at his hands, he was holding a knife...I thought I was just seeing things, so I took the book and covered my face...waited a few seconds and moved the book and he was gone...Being alone downstairs, in that big open house I got really scared and stayed upstairs with the kids, til the parents came home. I told them what I had seen, seeing the location of the house they believed me so they called the police. When the police got there they looked all around outside for a clue or something, anything that would prove that there was a man outside the window.

Then an officer camed up to me and said, "Jennie, theres about two feet of snow outside, if there was anyone out there, there would be footprints." Then I realized, He was behind me the whole time.
