Forget Sleep Tonight — This Twitter Thread Tells the Haunting Story of a Man Living in the Walls

Turn on all the lights and settle in with a hot cup of tea, because this man's haunting Halloween story might just kep you awake all night. In a Twitter thread shared on Oct. 29, 2019 Twitter user @Grady_Hendrix said he saw a man eating a sandwich in his family's kitchen when he was 9 years old. True, seeing an intruder in your home is scary in and of itself, but the story only got more chilling as Grady went on to detail the terror he felt when his parents didn't believe him. He even went so far as to sleep with a knife under his pillow. One night, 9-year-old Grady noticed a pair of eyes peering at him through the grates of the vent in his bedroom, and, um, big nope.

The story of the man living in the walls only gets more chilling from there. So, uh, in case you were wondering, I'll be spending the rest of my evening with every single light on in my house and a flashlight under my pillow, just in case. Read the full, terrifying Twitter thread ahead, if you dare.
