I 23F am a student in college but the guy in this story started showing up at my old workplace a couple of years ago. I worked at a bank and there are cameras inside and someone is always on the cameras at head office so this is important. <br><br>Every Saturday a guy would come into the bank that I worked at and sit in the waiting area. He would never interact with us, he would just sit there and read a book or sometimes write notes or something. It wasn't that weird for a bank of course because sometimes people wanted to sit somewhere quiet to read over their bank info. However, he would sit there for several hours, taking up space where we were supposed to have meetings with clients. <br><br>The security cameras showed that he wasn't doing anything else in the bank, he didn't look at any of the cameras, didn't try to go into any rooms that he shouldn't be in, etc. He always came in just after we opened and left right before we closed. <br><br>The first time this happened my manager and I were baffled. We approached him and asked if he needed any help, and he just said that he was waiting for someone but that he didn't have a cell phone and so he couldn't wait anywhere without service. We told him that there was a mall down the street that had free wifi, and a book store and some coffee shops as well, but he said that sometimes they were busy and he wanted to sit in a quiet office building if he could. <br><br>This continued for a couple of weeks and we were getting more and more annoyed by it. It was creepy, and he was taking up space where we were supposed to talk to clients. I kept going over to him and asking if everything was ok and he was always very nice and polite. He said that he didn't understand what his problem was, that he wasn't bothering anyone. I didn't want to just kick him out because I was afraid he would get angry or hurt so I kept going to my manager with it. But my manager kept saying that he wasn't technically breaking any rules, he wasn't doing anything wrong. <br><br>So I decided to talk to head office about it, because I was at my wits end. And that is when we discovered that this guy had never actually come into the bank. We watched all of the tapes from every Saturday that he had come in, and he stepped inside the front door and walked straight into the waiting area without ever talking to our receptionist. He rarely even looked up from his book. <br><br>Of course, then my manager got in huge amounts of trouble for not realizing that someone was just walking into the bank. They called the police and put out an APB on him, but he never showed up again after that. <br><br>I didn't think about him at all until I started going to my new college in a different city. I met my roommate and she seems really nice, but I have noticed a few things that are strange. She doesn't have a cell phone and she is never in our dorm room. I assumed that she stayed with her boyfriend a lot, but she is always gone on the weekends and she went home for Thanksgiving. <br><br>I've seen her boyfriend around campus and he looks familiar. The other day he walked past me and he said "hello" and then I saw him again when he walked into the library. I sat down at a table and opened a book and started to read. <br><br>Then I looked up and saw the guy from the bank standing across the table from me, pulling out a chair. I gasped and he sat down. I stood up and started to back away and he said "please don't go, I've been waiting so long for you." <br><br>I got the hell out of there and did not stop running until I got back to my dorm. I called the police and I haven't left my room since. I've texted my former manager and she got in touch with my university's security and they are looking for him. <br><br>But the creepiest part of this whole thing is that I looked up the address for my roommate and it is the address for the bank.
