Almost broke in

Hello reddit friends I love this sub, and thought I would finally post something creepy that happened to me when I was little. And sorry in advance for any grammar errors...

When I was young I didn't stay home alone very often because I have a brother that is three years older than me so he usually would look after me when my mom had to run an errands or something, but even then she didn't leave us home very often.

So heres a little background this happened maybe 10 years ago when I was 10 or 11 I lived in a little town in FL and my neighborhood was relatively safe. My parents divorced when I was really young, but fortunately my mom and dad didn't have any bad blood between them and happened to be good friends even after there divorce.

My dad lived a couple blocks away from us, maybe a 3 minute drive tops. So on the day this happened my mom was running to Publix and it had to have been around 7 or 8 o clock because it was dark outside, my brother was at a friends house staying the night, and when my mom told me we needed to run to the store I begged and begged her to stay home, and she finally let me. Now also publix was only about a ten minute drive from my house, so it wouldn't have taken her very long.

So my mom leaves, all the door are locked and I'm sitting on the couch watching Disney channel, all the lights are off except for the little glow from the TV. Our couch directly faced the front door and our front door had glass windows, we had blinds that covered the glass, except for the last two inches at the very bottom, just so you could see the mat outside the front door.

As I'm sitting there watching TV I notice the door nob started to wiggle, and right away I knew it wasn't my mom, she never used the front door, she always used the garage door because thats were she parked, so me being 10 or 11 immediately I was terrified.

So whoever was out there must have realized it was locked, and when they did they started shaking my front door fiercely, enough so that the blinds were shaking.

Thats when I caught a glimpse of a man with all black on and a black beanie thats all I can remember because right after that I ran across the house grabbed the phone and went in my closet and called my dad, immediately he sped over as fast as he could.

I stayed put in my closet until my dad got there, but when he did get to my moms no one was there.....

My dad obviously waited until my mom got home, and after that I was never aloud to stay home, not that I wanted to after what had happened.
