The most terrifying encounter I had in my life

This is a story that I have been thinking about for years. It’s something that I think about very often, and, even though it happened many years ago, it still gets to me, and I’d like to share it. <br>I was 18-19 years old when this happened. At the time, I was living with my family in a very nice split level house that was surrounded by trees. It was a very secluded neighborhood that was built upon a forest, and the houses were built with this weird, overgrown concrete walls that had trees growing out of them. We lived in a two story house, and I had a big window in the corner of my bedroom that faced the street, and the neighbors house, which was only a few feet away. <br>I was sleeping very soundly one night when I was woken up to the rattling of my window. I looked at the clock, and it was around 3 a.m. It freaked me out a little bit, but, when I looked at the window, I saw that it was rattling very loosely, and I remember thinking that maybe it was just the wind. <br>I never consciously remember falling back asleep, but I do remember that I was woken up again. I don’t know how much time had passed, but it was a very short period of time. <br>I looked at my window, and it was wide open. It was open like somebody had literally yanked it open. A few moments passed, and I heard the sound of footsteps running down the concrete walls that surrounded the neighborhood. I heard the footsteps very clearly, and I could hear the sound of a man yelling very loudly, “I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” It was the loudest, most intense sound I have ever ever heard. It shook me, and I would never forget it. <br>Scared to death, I ran to my parents bedroom, and I told them what I just heard. Of course, they didn’t believe me at first, but I was persistent. I told them that I really, really, heard somebody yelling at the top of their lungs, and, that whoever it was, was threatening to kill somebody. <br>My dad went out into the neighborhood, and checked the streets. The streets were empty, and very dark, but he didn't see or hear anything. <br>I was never able to shake the feeling that I got when I heard that voice. I heard that voice for years afterwards, and I would never forget how chilling it was.
