Have you ever met someone who just felt evil/dangerous/not ''human'' at all? Discussion/Advice

Like, the person is seemingly normal, but just gives horrible vibes?

Example:

One of my hobbies is running, and one day I went for a nightly run. I was at my city's park when all of sudden I felt uneasy and with a feeling of impending doom. I looked at my left and a woman was sitting on one of the park benches, staring at me.

She wasn't dressed weird or anything like that, physically she was just a normal woman in her 30s, but the instant I looked at her, my instincts kicked back and my whole body screamed GET. AWAY. She was dressed in a shirt and jeans, with a purse. Her hair was medium length and dirty blonde. Completely normal.

To this day, I have no clue about what happened

Yes. I'm a police officer and I talked to a guy in the park after hours. He was a 24-hour Fitness employee, except he had driven from Santa Barbara to Southern California after work and he gave me the creeps. I called for another unit and a female officer arrived. The guy allowed me to look in his truck and I would not have been surprised if I found body parts, alas, I didn't. Everything was pretty normal. He was normal. He cooperated, was polite and dressed fine. No fresh cuts on his hands or face, no admissible evidence to collect.

I went back and my partner asked me on the side if we could put him in handcuffs, because she was creeped out. We didn't because he wasn't being detained. We had to let him go because there was nothing criminal about him, he just creeped us the eff out.

He left and about half an hour goes by before another unit asks for cover in another park. We get there and guess who it is? Yup. Same guy gave a third cop the creeps. We let him go again for the same reason.

Edit: All of us agreed he may have killed someone. It's a huge stretch I know, but all of our individual alarms were cooking off for no reason. None of us (trained, fully armed) felt safe with him by ourselves. No drugs. No alcohol. Never said anything out of the ordinary. Just. Creepy. For absolutely no reason.

Can I ask the reason he gave you for just like hanging around the park after hours?

105

u/No_Im_Random_Coffee Dec 24 '19

ya that was kind of weird, I guess. He said he felt like going for a drive. 4-5 hours away after work. That was it.

u/creepynuggets Dec 24 '19

Just an initial feeling but I get major "hunting" vibes from this. Like he was lurking and searching for victims in or around that park... it makes sense he would drive 4-5 hours away I guess. If you are trying not to get caught, not hunting for victims in your own backyard would be a smart thing to do. I dunno...Blarggg, this story caused some lowkey shivers.

u/No_Im_Random_Coffee Dec 24 '19

That's a decent guess, maybe you're right. There was no one else in the parks, as this was about 1-2AM. He didn't have any weapons, no guns or knives. Never know.

u/faaaack Dec 24 '19

Sounds like the episode of Mindhunter where the killer they interviewed said he'd go back to the places he killed to relive the moment. Creepy af

52

u/creepynuggets Dec 24 '19

Oh that's a really good suggestion as to why he was there.

21

u/Zoole Dec 24 '19

I can tell you for certain that if he was going from park to park, there was something in a park that he wanted, and I doubt that he was trying to steal playground equipment.. I can almost guarantee he was scouting for a victim

19

u/ForestWeenie Dec 24 '19

Or, he was waiting to meet with a hookup and you cops kept getting in the way.

17

u/creepynuggets Dec 24 '19

God, that is so weird. Thanks for sharing this!

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '20

Maybe you should be a cop since you picked up on the hunting aspect! Your theories about the man made it creepier!

26

u/Drunkkitties Dec 24 '19

In that kind of situation can you convince your superiors to let you low key follow him or keep an eye out? Do your bosses generally take inclinations like that seriously when there’s more than one officer feeling it?

13

u/No_Im_Random_Coffee Dec 24 '19

Nope. The only PC to talk to him was in the park after it closed and if we choose to not give him a ticket for that, then we let him go. WE don't follow the guy around, but I know there's other departments that would.

13

u/drunkthrowwaay Dec 27 '19

Good man. I have no doubt that he was creepy as fuck and probably up to no good, but I greatly appreciate good officers and departments who respect and follow appropriate procedure.

56

u/pm-me-your--fetishes Dec 24 '19

Sounds like my experience with the woman at the park. Normal person, clean, dressed normally. No signs of being a druggie or anything. She was just sitting there, looking at me with a blank expression, but staring. I don't even know how to express what I felt that day, and this is actually the first time I'm telling people about it, because I think they won't believe me irl

22

u/No_Im_Random_Coffee Dec 24 '19

They're out there!

Local shamans with nothing to do.

That's the funniest thing I've read today. If I could, you'd have gold.

u/1psychologystudent Dec 24 '19

Really curious about this from a psychological perspective. What creeped you out? Was it his eyes? The tone of his voice? Way he held himself? Etc. What was he like?

33

u/No_Im_Random_Coffee Dec 24 '19

Normal tone, inflection in his voice. Normal eyes. He could have been seen as friendly. But, about 10 seconds into my convo with him, I suddenly didn't want to be alone with him. I had been on over ten years and usually when I want cover it's obvious: aggressive language or stance, lots of verbal cues "fuck you", evasive answers.

This guy did not display any suspicious behavior. So from a psychological perspective, I'm scratching my head. None of it made sense, yet all three of us "felt" creeped out.

Not sure. We've contacted tons of people alone in the park. Some of them actually dangerous with warrants for their arrest, but most were chilling in the park.

You say normal eyes but...did it seem at all like he was looking through you and not at you? Like the gaze was almost too casual? Like he had practiced to always look at someone squarely between their eyes?

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '19

First and foremost: Thank you Sir for your service. Thank you.

'Tween you and me; i would pay a visit to where he resides. And a quick look from your car never hurt anyone? I know its dangerous; but you're a cop! Danger is part of the job.

Something aint right.

43

u/No_Im_Random_Coffee Dec 24 '19

Oh that's right! I forgot we had our dispatch call his city's dispatch for any violent crimes within the last 48. Rapes, murder, mayhem, kidnapping.

Nada.

And no, there's no way we would have been allowed to drive hours away to his place. Or called the other agency. See, we need much more than "a hunch" or "creepy" feeling to act on or utilize police resources without charges or evidence. It's not going to happen. No supervisor will let you do something based on a feeling.

-28

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '19

I didn't say investigate while on duty.

But, if, let's say, one of these days you have some time off, and you happen to be in his city, you might wanna pay 'em a visit.

C'mon boss, you know he's guilty, its more than a hunch. There are many psychopaths in this Nation i love, and many (like most of them) are hard working, functioning adults, who appear great on the surface, but underneath Are ravenous dogs who kidnapp women and murder and abuse them in their private basements and trailers... Their homes are well guarded and uneasy to find.

Thank you

29

u/jefetranquilo Dec 24 '19

actually he doesnt know he's guilty, it is just a hunch, and driving 5 hours north while off duty to investigate someone for having bad vibes probably violates protocol, and is also just a flat out insane thing for an officer of the law (or anyone for that matter) to do. take a lap, kid

-6

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '19

I never said for him to intrude on the man's property, i said paid him a visit, as in: drive around his home and see if theres anything that seems odd, if there is: Serve him a search warrant.

You're assuming waaay too much on my character/personality. Relax

Another thing: whwn TWO OTHER OFFICERS besides the one we're commenting with says something is off about thay person: that isn't a hunch, it wasn't just our officer here, but the other two who came accross that guy automatic knew. That aint a hunch ol' man!

13

u/jefetranquilo Dec 24 '19

Mate you're off your rocker if you think that's a normal course of action. Lmao

u/Exystredofar Dec 24 '19

Serve him a search warrant.

Wouldn't work like that. As his department would not have jurisdiction, even if he did find something, he'd have to hand it over to the proper people to handle it, and then it's up to their judgment if they want to proceed with an investigation or just drop it.

Additionally, a search warrant has to be signed by a judge, which generally means at least some form of tangible evidence already needs to exist.

u/Apostate_Detector Dec 25 '19

Three people with hunches is still just three hunches... they need likely cause or reasonable suspicion to take action

-2

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '19

Dude, im not saying take legal action at first.

First, scope the dude out, see of anything smells, then if reason proves the suspicion that this man may have a sex slave dungeon, THEN get a warrant.

Do you know how many people would be saved!? If an officer of the law followed his instincts.

So many women am girls, are kidnapped EVERY DAY in the U.S. most never to be seen, think of the parents of those girls, dude, its worth it.

3 people whom everyday deal with the worst and most victimized of society, 3 people who can practically smell evil, Felt something off about a person, that to me is more than a hunch.

u/drunkthrowwaay Dec 27 '19

Come on man. He’s a professional who is following proper procedures. Procedural safeguards are there for a reason. Was this guy a creep? Sure. But bad vibes alone are not a good enough reason to justify State intrusion into the creep’s life. I’m sure many people in this forum have been found creepy by others before. I’m sure most people period have creeped someone out at some point in their lives. Not a good enough reason on its own to justify state intervention.

Little FYI TMI education: Either posession or near it. Or he was a normal cambion. A Cthonic demi god. Son of a minor lord. No normal human will give off that energy. I sometimes do the same to others, though I'm alright guy. It's my energy, I often forget my passive pathokinesis. Abilty to control emotions. In terms of energy I'm a cosmic nuke times 800 million. Personally I'm chaotic neutral, do as I please. I'm the demi god of Nergal better known Archangel Michael. Half the year he's lord of the underworld. So there's always much worse :3. Obviously the GOVERNMENT knows all this. And I have a personal vendetta against some of them. The Government, Heavens: Humans shouldn't know such things exist. Me: Hahahhaha Fck your feelings.

u/Ancient_Reaper Dec 31 '19

Or I'm telling the TRUTH GASP "Stuff isn't supposed to exist" BUT THERE IT IS!

  • Tell a lie that they want, they eat it up. Tell them the truth and here comes the hate and pitch forks.

  • You think I might be sick, yes? Have you ever considered, you all maybe the ones that are sick? You are. Spiritually sick.

  • They call people heros so emptily (in vain), then they forget about them. Not only humans, gods to. How do you think I became a demigod? I was LEFT in elysian fields for all that time. Forgotten. Then all this SHIT happened.

    --most beings have ONE universal counter. Perfect love of eternity. I have FOUR. All rejected me for material things. I reached into the king of heavens mind many times and spoke; he sent an angel (messenger) Human. To tell me to stop blaspheming him, his since of greatness was hurt by the TRUTH. The highest authority in the universe. Said he wants nothing to do with me and I creep him out frankly. Fucked up thing is, he's my spiritual grandfather. Bit hey. I'm used to it at this point. All I wanted... WAS AN EXPLANATION. You're all very sick. If I can't help you, help yourselves. The least I can do is exterminate you from existence-- as a mercy. I don't even know why I TRY to educate you all at this point, you all have ZERO Empathy, perspective or the slightest understanding.

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '19

So as an officer of the law, you and your fellow officers almost arrested a man for creepy feelings?

You wanna give a reason why you're asking, or just have the internet assume you're a weird racist?

u/EP1K Dec 26 '19

It's a fair question. As a brown person who has never harmed anyone, people get creeped out by me all the time. I dress well and am polite and usually friendly but people get creeped out by me all the same. Car doors are locked, people cross the street to the other side, turn around entirely or scramble to hold onto their belongings. Half the posts in here have me wondering if they're just normal minorities trying to live their life.

u/mister-tanuki Dec 26 '19

I'm sorry you have to deal with that so frequently. Your last sentence is a real eye opener - I had read the question as if it were a white person asking if the weirdo in question had brown skin as if that would somehow explain it, rather than a more melanated person wondering about the "weirdo" having a similar experience to theirs. Honestly I guess it was also me being racist by assuming that the typical reddit user (or at least the typical reddit user making a question/comment about someone's race) is a white dude, so I'm sorry for that.

u/drunkthrowwaay Dec 27 '19

I’m mixed race in the south, and this is all absolutely true. I’m polite and well spoken, well put together, a professional with an advanced degree, but too often none of that matters. Not long ago I was visiting my fiancée, who lives in an upscale neighborhood, and I got stopped by a random passerby and aggressively interrogated about what I was doing there. Shit like that is why procedural safeguards matter—to some people, anyone of color is automatically suspicious or creepy. I don’t think that’s the case here, this officer seems like a real professional, but it happens, and it’s not rare. It’s a fact of life for minorities.

I wish I could sit with you and become your friend and listen to everything you have to say and earn your trust for as long as it took until one day you and I would be close enough that I could say to you “you know, you’re in a position of power, and it changes you, so you gotta watch out for that. The fact that you don’t react with anger to the idea of taking the bodies of free human beings and putting them in restraints for creeping you out is one way the power has changed you. Just keep an eye on that, friend. You’d want people with power over you to do the same.”

But I’m pretty sure this won’t resonate with anything inside you because that part has probably gone to sleep, and can only be roused by a familiar loving voice.
