Woman’s neighbour leaves ‘unsettling’ three-word note on porch
What would you do if you were left an ominous note from a neighbour that didn’t really make sense to you? Well, that’s exactly what happened to one woman who was left baffled at the “unsettling” three-word message.
The woman took to Reddit to explain she’d been dealing with the “strangest” situation. She shared her next-door neighbours had recently had a break-up, and for some reason, the ex-girlfriend had started targeting her house.
She said that the woman has been “hanging around the block” ever since the split, admitting that she doesn’t know her, other than seeing them “argue” a few times on the street.
But things got weird, fast. “A few weeks ago, I found a crumpled fast food bag on my porch. I didn’t think much of it at first—figured someone littered,” she shared.
After the third time it happened, she was a little suspicious that someone was doing it on purpose. “Sometimes it’s cups, sometimes cigarette butts left neatly by the door,” she continued.
The woman figured out it was her neighbour’s ex that was leaving the rubbish on her porch, but she was left confused as to why she was targeting her.
She wrote: “The creepiest part is she left this weird note last night. Just a ripped piece of paper that said ‘I see you’. No idea what it’s supposed to mean. I’m not involved with her ex, we don’t even talk beyond polite waves.
“My neighbour says she’s been spiralling since they broke up and that he’s tried to keep her away, but she just drifts around the block anyway.
“I’m honestly not sure what to do. I hate feeling like I’m being watched every time I go outside. I’m considering installing a camera or motion light just so I don’t feel so on edge at night”.
She shared that the whole situation was “stressing” her out, and she needed to get it off her chest and ask for advice on what to do next.
In the comments, someone suggested: “Sounds like she’s using your porch in the middle of the night to keep an eye on him”.
Another wrote: “I think she’s [lurking] there to watch the neighbour/her ex. But the note was for the original poster, because she probably sees her as the ‘threat’ that keeps him away. Either way, if she can afford a camera or leave something on charge and set to record while she sleeps/is out, so she can catch this weirdo and maybe give the footage to the neighbour so he can take it to the police”.
One man wrote: “Get cameras and locks on all doors. Make sure you can’t get into windows. Sadly, this might escalate, even though you are a completely innocent bystander. You might want to call the police on the non-emergency line, just to start a dialogue.”
Somebody penned: “She’s lost her mind and thinks you’re seeing the neighbour. If she’s getting delusional, you need a camera”.
A woman responded: “This happened with my neighbor, his wife stalked the neighborhood. Just talking with him set her off. It actually came down to physical confrontations. Get cameras and avoid all contact with both of them”.
The government website advises you to all the police if your neighbour is violent, threatening or abusive, is harassing you, or breaking th elaw in any other way, or if you suspect this.
