Being attacked physically is clearly terrifying, even if one manages to escape the hands of the perpetrator. But mental terror, such as repeatedly receiving disturbing notes, can be equally as awful and oftentimes, not easier to break free from.“The fact that something creepy comes ‘out of the blue’ adds to its impact because you are combining the element of surprise with the creepiness,” Prof. Frank T. McAndrew pointed out in a recent interview withBored Panda.

However, the expert suggested that—as disturbing as receiving a creepy note is—if it’s not a recurring event, it shouldn’t have too strong of a detrimental effect on the receiver’s well-being.“Your mental well-being will always be worse for a short while after receiving such a note, as it can stimulate a range of negative emotions such as fear, guilt, shame, or anxiety depending upon the content of the note. Receiving just one note, however, should not have any long-lasting effects for most people.”

Needless to say, receiving notes with threats or creepy messages time and again can be enough to drive one crazy; or at least make them constantly anxious. And unfortunately, out of those who’ve ever gotten a disturbing note—whether it was sent to their home, delivered to their workplace, or left on their car—at least a few have received more than one.
The seller said it was in the attic of the house his mother had just purchased. The note was inside when they found it. It’s only been a month, and they’ve had no problems yet.
According to theBureau of Justice Statistics, during a 12-month period in 2005 and 2006, an estimated 14 in every 1,000 persons age 18 or older were victims of stalking. Out of them, roughly three-in-four knew their stalker.
For context, this man was a patron at my work and has been coming around for the past 4+ years to disturb my peace of mind and bring me small gifts. He was generally friendly and pleasant, but always gave me a gross feeling in my stomach that told me I should definitely keep our interactions brief and never give him any information about myself.The last time I spoke to him, he insisted that I go out to lunch with him or call him on his phone. Putting my foot down, I told him I was not at all interested in ever doing something like that, but I thanked him for the gifts. His reaction was subtle, but it really made me change my tune because I could detect a certain callousness and animosity in his demeanor that stood out as a huge red flag to me.Today, this note was taped to my car. I have no idea why he addressed me as “Garbo,” but I have to assume it’s a reference to Greta Garbo.Hopefully, this is the end of him coming around, but of course I will be on guard for anything suspicious.
Statistics show that out of the stalkers the victims knew personally, the majority were a formerintimate partner(comprising close to 22% of all stalkers) or a friend, a roommate, or a neighbor (comprising nearly 16.5%).
“Daddy, I really do believe with all my heart and soul that you are God. Please forgive me today and make my life better today.”
The Bureau of Justice Statistics also revealed that women were at a higher risk of becoming victims of stalking than their male counterparts; females reportedly experienced 20 victimizations per 1,000 women (aged 18 or older) while out of males, approximately 7 per 1,000 (who were 18 or older) did.
“I saw (different names) arm hair up close on (different dates).“Back in high school, I was in my class, and the classroom had one of those desks with a space underneath to store stuff. I reached inside, and this is what I found. A couple of months later, my friend found another one just like this on the floor, but it was for January.We reported it to the school, and they took the second note. As far as I know, nothing ever came of it.
“This was found years ago. This is called the sleepeye if you see this. Do not go and see it.”
“Human remains on the beach Naknek up river from copper SFDS. Snagged on the wood plank below the radio house, call the trooper now.”
According to Dr. McAndrew, stalking keeps the victim in a perpetual state of anxiety and vigilance, which can be exhausting.
“To Lauren,Don’t frown; you never know who is falling in love with your smile.From your secret admirer.”

“If I was invisible, I would haunt my parents. I would first start out with minor things, like pulling their covers at night or knocking dishes over. Then it would get worse. I would turn the lights on and off. I would whisper sinister things in their ear if they decided to move out; I’d stalk them.”
“Rita was a fine matchmaker and had a low internal voice and impeccable eye focus on your delicious foot area. RIP.”

The note was placed on my windshield while my car was parked in my building garage, which happens to be accessible to the public.I’m reluctant to report this to the SF police because they are incompetent and their hands are tied behind their backs.I’m worried that the threat will be acted upon in the near future.What would you do if you were in my shoes?
“Can you really help to make this dream come true?If you can participate, send a WhatsApp message to (name) so we can plan to meet. I’m ready.Your neighbor, trapped in this reality.”

I think the creepy feeling comes from the way the note is written. It’s almost as though they are having a conversation with the person they’re writing to. Something seems a bit disordered in the thinking and conclusions it takes to type this, print it, and find a place to staple it so this one person they stared at sees it. That doesn’t mean they’re insane, but perhaps not as well as they could be.
They hid notes like this all over my luggage back then too, and drew one on my couch. If you date someone and break up, don’t do this.
I was shopping in a plaza with my little sister tonight and started heading back to our car pretty late at night. I noticed a man leaning against his van (late 40s) and eyeing us as we left the store and walked across the lot. We approached my car from the back since I had stuff to put in the trunk. I didn’t even see this until I got home. Inside was more handwriting and a radio station. What do you guys think?
“Death Note.He will go to a table and smash his head against the table until he is dead.”
