Things were seemingly normal when OP was with her dogs at home until one of the dogs started randomly growling. More started to be revealed about what was going on, and then OP discovered some pretty disturbing information about what had been happening outside her home for the past few months.
“After a couple more minutes, I heard something I hadn’t unexpected when I made one last desperate attempt to move Mowry from his spot. He growled, which wasn’t unusual because he growled plenty in his life. What was unusual was that he growled at ME. He had never done that before, not once.”

“I called out for my dad, assuming he was home, and didn’t hear anything. I grabbed my phone, called my mom, and asked if Dad was home. She said he wasn’t and that he was still with them. My skin had immediately gone pale and I told her I heard someone open the door and that they had come inside.”

“Suddenly the man leapt onto the road and arms waving frantically, I swerved into the left lane narrowly avoiding him. In my headlights I noticed he had the same wide-eyed look, his gaze locked onto mine.”
