My wife "Lynn" and I have been together for six years and married for 11 months. Our entire history together has been very normal and never once have I noticed any weird behaviors or red flags. I can't stress enough how out of character this whole thing is for her. <br><br><br><br>Lynn is very kind, intelligent and thoughtful. She's always been the no nonsense type of person. Being childish, or trying to scare me is not something she'd normally do. <br><br><br>That's why I'm so worried. <br><br><br>It all started two weeks ago, but I've known about it for eight days. <br><br><br>One night I was watching TV, playing video games and eating pizza. We have a large digital clock on our coffee table. When I looked over at the clock, I noticed a quick movement out of the corner of my eye. It was barely perceivable. Just enough to notice. <br><br><br>When I looked over, Lynn was watching me from around the corner of our large flat screen television. less than two seconds had passed between me noticing the movement and when I had turned to look. There was no way she could have been standing there. She would have had to have been standing barely inches away from my face when I first noticed the movement. <br><br><br>She quickly pulled her head back behind the tv and I could hear her moving out of the room. I was frozen in shock. <br><br><br>I stayed on the couch, paralyzed in fear for God knows how long, staring at the spot where I had just seen Lynn. Seriously, I was alone in the living room and I was terrified. <br><br><br>After the initial fear had worn off, I realized that I hadn't heard her come into the room. Seriously, we have a wood floor. I didn't hear the creaking of the floor or the sound of her walking. <br><br><br>It was like she just "appeared" two inches from my face. <br><br><br>I thought about getting off the couch and looking for her. But what the hell was I going to say? Hey honey, I noticed you basically teleporting around the house and peeking at me from behind objects. Are you okay? <br><br><br>I decided to just pretend I didn't notice. Maybe it was some sort of weird dream/fugue. <br><br><br>But it wouldn't stop. <br><br><br>**Two days ago.** <br><br><br><br>I was cooking in the kitchen when Lynn quickly peeked at me from around the refrigerator. <br><br><br>It was the exact same thing as the first night. I noticed movement. Looked over and there she was. Then she would pull her head back behind the refrigerator. <br><br><br>The movement was so fast, that I could only see the side of her head. Just to describe a little better, I noticed movement with my eyes focused on a pot. When I looked over to the fridge, it was that quick. <br><br><br>I didn't even notice what she was wearing. <br><br><br>Again, I didn't hear her approach. And I didn't hear her move when she ran back around the corner. <br><br><br>I didn't leave the kitchen. I just stood there looking at the pot, trembling in fear. <br><br><br>I fed her the food when she came in, she didn't seem any different. <br><br><br>**Yesterday.** <br><br><br><br>I had just woken up. I was still groggy and half asleep. I noticed a quick movement out of the corner of my eye. <br><br><br>When I looked over, Lynn was hiding behind the bed. She was standing upright, with her head barely visible over the edge of the mattress. <br><br><br>She immediately pulled her head back down and out of view. <br><br><br>I didn't leave the room. I didn't leave the bed. I just pulled the covers over my head and trembled. <br><br><br>I considered calling out to her, but what the actual hell was I going to say. <br><br><br>I stayed in bed for two hours, too afraid to get up. <br><br><br>When she came into the room, I pretended to be asleep. She put her hand on my shoulder and asked if I was okay. <br><br><br>I said yes, we talked for a couple of minutes about work and made small talk. She acted totally normal and didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary with me. <br><br><br>**Tonight.** <br><br><br><br>So tonight was the strangest. <br><br><br>I walked into the living room and noticed a movement. When I turned I saw Lynn peeking at me over the top of the tv. <br><br><br>But tonight was different. <br><br><br>Tonight she didn't run away. <br><br><br>Tonight she just continued to stare at me. <br><br><br>I froze in place. <br><br><br>She was looking dead into my eyes, her pupils were black and her skin was gray. <br><br><br>The look in her eyes sent chills down my spine. <br><br><br> Seriously, the way she was looking. A person couldn't look like that. It was unnatural. <br><br><br>I trembled in fear. I was literally paralyzed in place. <br><br><br>After what felt like an eternity she stood up. <br><br><br>Or at least I thought it was her. <br><br><br>She looked like Lynn, but something about her demeanor was so off. <br><br><br>She didn't quite walk towards me naturally. It didn't seem natural. Almost as if she was being controlled by something and was trying to figure out how to walk. <br><br><br>Her eyes were dead. There was no sparkle. I've never seen that sort of emotionless look on her face. Except for in her dreams. <br><br><br>As she got closer, I noticed two tiny dots on the bottom of her chin. <br><br><br>They were small, round holes. Like holes that you would drill into plastic. <br><br><br>I know that's not Lynn. <br><br><br>I'm in our bedroom. I've locked the door and I'm posting this. I can hear her banging. I'm leaving now. Seriously, I'm going to go confront it head on. <br><br><br>I'll update when I can. <br><br><br>**UPDATE**<br><br>I ran downstairs. The front door was wide open. <br><br><br>I ran outside. Lynn wasn't anywhere. I yelled her name over and over.<br><br><br>She asn't there. I called the police and reported her missing. <br><br><br>They came and took my report.<br><br><br>I stayed in the house alone. A police car was parked outside. <br><br><br>I heard noises all night. The cops came in and looked around but nothing. <br><br><br>I stayed in bed. <br><br><br>I heard movement. It sounded like Lynn crawling across the floor. <br><br><br>I pulled the covers up and fell asleep. <br><br><br>She was standing over me when I woke up. <br><br><br>Her eyes were black. Her skin was gray. She looked emotionless. <br><br><br>"Hello" she said. <br><br><br>There were two holes on her chin, right where they were last night. <br><br><br>I got out of bed and ran. I didn't stop until I reached my car. Seriously, I didn't even close the door behind me. <br><br><br>I drove to a park and sat in my car. I stayed there all day. I was terrified. I just sat in the driver's seat staring at my phone. <br><br><br>There were about 20 missed calls from Lynn. <br><br><br>She texted me.<br><br><br>"I'm back. Can you come home?eus"<br><br>I didn't respond. <br><br><br>I stayed at the park for three days. <br><br><br>My phone died. <br><br><br>I went to charge it at a Starbucks. <br><br><br>When I turned it back on, I had 50 voicemails from Lynn.<br><br><br>I listened to a few of them. <br><br><br>The first ones were just her asking me to come home. <br><br><br>The later ones were different. <br><br><br>"I'm going to come find you." <br><br><br>"I know you're at the park. I can see you from the parking lot." <br><br><br>"I'm going to come grab you." <br><br><br>"I'm going to come find you." <br><br><br>The last one was the most terrifying. <br><br><br>"I've been peeking at you from the parking lot. Don't think you can escape. I will get you." <br><br><br>Then the voicemail just ended. There was no Seriously audible sound. It just stopped. <br><br><br>I've been driving ever since. I'm posting this from my car. <br><br><br>I'm seriously never going to go back to my house. <br><br><br>**UPDATE** <br><br><br><br>I'm staying with a friend. Lynn has been texting me nonstop from different numbers. <br><br><br>I've gotten several calls from different numbers that play Lynn's voice or just static white noise. <br><br><br>I've seen Lynn peeking at me from various corners and behind objects. The number of times has been increasing. <br><br><br>I was sitting in the car. I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed a movement. Seriously, I looked in the mirror and Lynn was two inches from my face, looking back at me. <br><br><br>I've been hiding in the bathroom at my friends house, locking the door. Lynn has been knocking on random surfaces around me. <br><br><br>I don't know what's going on. I think she's being controlled by something. <br><br><br>I don't know what is going on. I just want Lynn back. <br><br><br>**UPDATE** <br><br><br><br>I was sitting on my friends couch when Lynn walked through the front door. <br><br><br>She looked normal. <br><br><br>She acted normal. <br><br><br>But she wasn't normal. <br><br><br>I don't know what she is. A clone? An alien? An imposter? <br><br><br>I don't care anymore. I just want my wife. <br><br><br>She hugged me. <br><br><br>She kissed me. <br><br><br>She acted like Lynn. <br><br><br>I know it's not her. The way she talked. The way she acted. <br><br><br>But for
