Airbnb Angel: OP spends a good amount of money to be able to stay in an Airbnb with their family, but due to some car trouble, the trip is canceled by their ungrateful mother. The Airbnb landlord does something unexpected that will forever warm OP's heart.

Biker Comment No One Expected: OP had an abusive boyfriend, and life was difficult. While standing in line one day at Walmart, a big biker looking man with lots of tattoos looks at her and says something so unexpected, and yet so profound.

In this eerie double-feature from Thread HQ, Jordan and Patrice dive into two spine-chilling Reddit tales that blur the line between coincidence and the supernatural.

The first story, “Loud Clacking Sound,” comes from the r/GlitchInTheMatrix subreddit. A couple hears heavy, deliberate footsteps echoing through their locked home late at night — a mystery that defies logic and leaves listeners questioning what lurks in the unseen corners of their own houses.

The second story, “I Was On Someone’s Kill List,” from r/LetsNotMeet, follows a woman who narrowly escapes becoming the victim of a brutal murder. After moving in with a group of heavy metal roommates, one man’s descent into psychosis turns deadly. A last-minute work call becomes the twist of fate that saves her life.

Jordan and Patrice react with a mix of shock, humor, and empathy as they unpack the unnerving psychology behind these events — from phantom noises to religious delusion — all while keeping the conversation grounded, entertaining, and just the right amount of creepy.

r/LetsNotMeet: Terrorized for 2 Hours

OP comes home to her apartment thinking her roommates had a little get-together/party, and sees a man lying on a couch, assumed to be a friend of her roomate trying to sleep on their couch afterward. What she soon finds out haunts her until this day...

The Time I Was Hunted

OP gets in tiff with his friend, so instead of getting a ride home from him, he decides to walk home out of spite. The only problem is, home is much farther than he realized, and someone is out there ready to hunt him.

r/LetsNotMeet: The Man with the Wooden Leg

When OP was 12 years old and at Summer camp, they decided it would be a good idea to go exploring in the woods with their buddies late at night. They came across a home secluded in the forest, and then they had a disturbing encounter with a man, so they ran for their lives until they got back to their rooms. They thought they were safe and everything was over, but they were dead wrong…

Never Ever Pick Up a Hitchhiker

OP’s friend, being the charitable person they are, decided to pick up a hitchhiker as she was traveling. The guy she picked up didn’t have any money, so she decided to do something nice and buy him a meal. He thanked her profusely, and then went on his merry way once they parted. She later received a phone call from him that would change her view on picking up hitchhikers forever after.
