A few years ago I was driving home from the movies with my girlfriend. It was getting late and we took a route back to her house I hadn't been on before. As we drove along one section of road the houses began to get sparser and the treeline became dark with tall branches that loomed over the road.
"Imagine how creepy it would be to break down on this road" I joked.
"I was always scared of this street when I was little" my girlfriend told me.
We passed the creepy section of woods and I dropped her off at her house. As I was driving home I started to get a really creepy feeling. I've heard people talk about having the feeling that someone was watching them but I had never felt that until now. I pulled up to a stop light and waited. The heavy feeling in the air remaining unchanged. As the light changed to green my eyes glanced across my rear view mirror. For a moment I thought I saw someone sitting in my back seat. I looked back again to see no one.
Thinking it was just a trick of the light I drove on. As I turned onto the next street near my house I again saw something in the mirror's reflection. I could have sworn I saw a face staring forward and look away as soon as I saw it. Again when I looked back there was nothing there. I could feel the hair on the back of my neck standing on end.
I was getting close to my house now. I pulled into the driveway, turned the car off and locked it. I looked in through the side window making absolutely certain that there was nobody in the car. I couldn't believe how spooked I was. I wondered if my mind was playing tricks on me. As I walked up to my house the creepy feeling remained with me. I flicked on the porch light and locked the door behind me. For some reason I pulled the curtain on the door aside to look out. Standing inches away from the glass was a grey face with dark empty spots where its eyes should have been. I jumped back blinking only a moment. It was suddenly gone. I hadn't seen it move, it just vanished from the spot it had stood in.
Suddenly the heavy feeling in the air dissipated and I started to feel relaxed. Whatever I had seen was gone. I never saw it again.
