I remember it like it was yesterday, it was midnight, 24th of may 2005. It was just before my birthday and I was finally allowed to drink monster energy drinks, so I was pretty energetic and staying up past my bedtime. It hit midnight and I heard a bell ring outside, and not like some small dinky bell, it was like a church bell was right outside my window, ringing out like crazy. I looked outside and there was absolutely nothing there, no bell, no cars, no truck, nothing that could’ve plausibly made that sound , accidentally or not. But there was a man outside. I couldn’t see him because of the darkness, but there was a guy just standing across the street. As a hyper , sleep deprived teenager, I was scared shitless and decided to wake my parents up to tell them about it.

I turned the handle of my door and it didn't budge.
