I grew up in a small town in Australia. My twin brother and I would frequently ride our bikes around the neighbourhood when we were growing up around the late 2000s / early 2010s and there was this one house that we’d pass that would always leave us at unease. A weird and deranged looking man would sit on a camping chair and drink on the side of the road outside of his house in which all the grass in and surrounding his yard was extremely overgrown and unkept. We thought nothing of it however we always felt the same sense of dread whenever we’d ride past. Several years later around 2017 there was a news article that two men had gotten into a fight resulting in the other being stabbed to death. The mugshot that came up on the news showed the man we had always found creepy. It happened in that same household that we’d frequently ride past around a block or two away from mine. It might not seem like much but it has always made my skin crawl knowing I came face to face with that deranged psychopath on multiple occasions and that I lived only a walk away. I still live there and I have heard nothing more of it. I hope he is locked up for life.
