Lol yayz.
I remember reading an urban legend about a couple who spent the night in a hotel and then ended up smelling a rotting stench in the bed. Turns out five days later they founf the corpse of a 20-year old woman in the boxspring. Ew, can you imagine sleeping on a corpse that's almost a month old?

There was once a couple that decided to take a trip to Mexico. The decision was made so suddenly that they couldn't find a babysitter in time. So they had to take their 11 month child with them. While they crossed the border, they noticed that their back left tire sprung an air leak. So they parked the car and used the replacement in the trunk to fix it. Once that was done, they noticed their little boy was no longer with them. Frantic, they called the police. The police scanned the area until they spotted a man carrying their son. The policeman hollered out to the man and as soon as the man noticed him, he dropped the child and ran away. When the policeman examined the child to make sure he was okay, it turned out that the child's body was hollowed out and the organs were replaced with sacks of drugs. The man was planning to carry the drugs over in the 'sleeping' child.

Oh meh gehd. That's really scary.

I know
I heard it from a friend at school and thought the exact same thing.

I almost wanted to ask "did he survive?".
=(I iran, there was a taxidriver, who one night stopped for a middle-aged woman. Whilst driving, he noticed her many golden and gemstoned bracelets, which were rather tight on her hands.
Deciding to steal them, he drives to some hills and hits her over the head and cuts her hands off, to get the bracelets.
A few weeks passed, the jewelry he'd got were enough for him to buy a house and other things, but he carried on working as a pretence.
One night, he picks up a woman, wearing her headscarf low. Once at the destination, she holds out a severed, maggot-riddled hand….dudududum! -
That was so scareh x)
Wait, how did she get her hands back after he cut them off?

He'd just thrown it next to her, so she held it in her….mouth!
Lameee, I know. -
Lolz, I got another.
The Marcy's Hand pub was a nice place, but the history wasn't so pretty. In the alleyway next to the bar, a woman named Marcy was murdered. All they found was her hand. They now kept the hand in a jar for display. A man visits the pub one night. He orders a drink and spies other people playing pool. The hand starts tapping the glass of the jar. He flips out and almost spills his whiskey. The bartender explains that it's wired up, just to joke the customers. The mn keeps quiet and plays pool with the other customers, who chuckles at his fright. The hand taps the glass again, in his direction. The man is annoyed and tells the bartender to stop. This time he is angry. The bartender tells the man in the back to stop, but the guy already turned it off for the night. But, the hand keeps tapping…. The guy goes insane and admits that he's the one who murdered Marcy 10 years ago!!!

That is freaking scary!

There's a small bridge that takes you onto another road, and it takes you to the next town. The story goes a man, or a boy fell off the bridge, and died once hitting their head on the rocks underneath the bridge, and if you were to drive on Old Sycamore Road at night, and you were to cross that bridge, then the "ghost" of the man, or boy appear next to your car once you pass the exact spot they had fallen from until you exit the bridge.There was this couple in Scotland who had just moved into an old castle. When they moved in, they decided to empty out the wine cellar and found this large barrel of brandy. They tried moving it and even got a few friends around to help, but they couldn't budge it. In the end, they decided to have a housewarming party and give glasses of brandy out to empty the barrel and make it easier to move. A few days after the party, they went into the cellar and tried to move the barrel again. It still wouldn't move. The husband went to get his saw in order to cut it into smaller pieces and in turns they cut off the top of the barrel. Inside was a dead body and they had drank the brandy that had preserved it.
On an isolated road, around midnight, a man and his girlfriend are driving. Suddenly a car approaches them from behind. "Pull over!" he says. The man shrugs and turns in a dirt road. He gets out and talks to the man. "What is it, babe?" the girlfriend asks, but she gets no answer. She shrugged and continued to browse through the different radio stations. Then she heard a crash "Babe?" she said hesitantly. She ran out of the car and saw her boyfriend's head bouncing back and forth on the radio antennae. The back lights were smashed in. Screaming, she goes to get her cell phone out of the car. As soon as she opens the car door she hears, "No use. . . No one will answer you."
One Halloween night, a 16 year old girl named May and her friends, Irene, Kate, and Leslie, were out driving to a Halloween party outside of town. So, of course, they took the freeway. The car was slowing down, like it was running out of gas, but the meter said it was full. May and Leslie went to check out the engine. When they opened the hood, there was a hand. A lone bare, hand. They were so frightened they couldn't scream. Leslie reached out to touch it then IT MOVED! This time they both screamed and Irene and Kate ran out the car screaming. They said there was a man with his flesh torn and a missing hand in the back seat. The girls ran and the car was chasing them slowly. May called the her parents, Irene called 911, on their cellular phones as they ran. But when the cops and May's parents came, all four girls were soaking in blood. Not their own blood. The cops found a black gemstone, unidentified, in the driver's seat – covered with blood. The girls went ahead to the party. The address was just a vacant lot but in that vacant lot were many bloody, black, unidentified gemstones.
^That is the scariest one! >. -
One stormy night, (liek this one) Eddie Murphy wanted some poon. He drove around until he found a hot little filly. However…..

lolwut Dude.
Hm.
The Gemstone one didn't get me.
Now this one is a little bit of a cute Urban Legend.
The sotry is that one day a bus filled with 30 kids got stuck on railroad tracks. The train was coming and the bus was stuck. The train hit the bus because it was too fast to stop. All the kids died. Today, you can go to the train tracks and park your car on there in neutral. The spirits of the kids with push you off over the small hill to the other side! This IS true because they tested it and removed all the fingerprints from the back of the test car, and then later they found fingerprints as the car was filmed slowly pushed over the small hill!

@Dude,

There's also an Urban Legend about how someone spends the night in a graveyard and ends up dead in the arms of an angel statue by dawn.

This one scared the shiz outta me!
There was a girl named Jenna who was having a slumber party. She invited three friends but only one came. That night, after they did all the fun activities they went to bed. Jenna's friend Mary said "goodnight" and they went to bed. Ten minutes later Jenna heard Mary counting "12345" she didn't pay much attention though she thought that Mary was counting to get to sleep. At about 3am Jenna woke up to go to the bathroom and heard "565, 565, 566, 567" she reach over and turned on the light and turned around to see a man holding Mary's decapitated head pulling out her hair one piece at a time

I think I heard that somewhere before. That one's pretty creepy.
There was a woman who had just moved into town. She went to the local nursery and bought a cactus as a little housewarming gift. Later during the day she thought that the cactus was moving, almost breathing. She ignored it until an hour later she heard it moving. She called the police and they said to wait outside. They showed up later and just before they were about to burn the cactus a million baby scorpions swarmed out of the cacti.
-
WHAT THE….UGH!
twitched and clutches self~ -
Don't like baby scorpions?
-
I've seen an episode of an old medical tv series with the same thing except it was tarantula instead of scorpions. And there were dozens of them.

I got this one off of Snopes. Note that people like this DO exist.
A girl named Lauren was driving home from work. She took the old country road home. The speed limit for the road was 55, she was going 65. Upon going such speed, she catches up to a car that was far ahead of her. It turned out to be a cop. She slowed down, and the cop didn't turn his sirens on. The cop ignored her and let it go.
However, the sirens of a vehicle behind her started up. She turned to look. She then pulled out her cellphone. (This part is not true considering this number doesn't work in all states.) She dialed #77, which allows you to gain contact with nearby police vehicles. It turns out that she gets in contact with the cop car IN FRONT of her.
"Officer?"
"Yes?"Lauren remembered what her parents always said, "Never pull over in an empty location, no matter what."
"The officer behind me wants me to pull over, but I don't feel comfortable here. Can you direct me to the nearest gas station?"
"No problem ma'am."
"One last thing. The officer behind me: he's in a fake police car."
"…..Thank you for telling me ma'am."All three cars went on towards a gas station that was filled with cops. All three cars were held into the gas station. The first car had a police officer.
The second car had Lauren, who was perfectly fine.
The last car, which was the fake cop car with the siren, had a serial rapist the cops had been looking for for years. He had been stalking women and disguising himself as a police officer so that he may pull them over and rape them.
Lesson: Remember what your parents say. Never pull over for a cop when you're in the middle of nowhere, always be near several others.

@Insider,
Something similar happened to my mother when she was young. Young-er.
She was driving back with her friends (this happened in Iran, her country) late from a party. As they drove, a police car drives up next to her and the six
big men beckon her to stop. Her friends told her to stop, but she just sped up, because those huge men would've overpowered them.
They sped up too and she tried to maneuver through alleys, but ended up in a dead-end.
As she stops, she told me that she'd been praying they wouldn't stop right behind her.
They didn't, but stopped almost next to her car. The driver got out and walked towards them, and he wasn't wearing a uniform, obviously not a cop.
While her friends start whimpering and all, she went backwards, her wheels screeching and all, with her one hand on the honk, giving out constant noise. Even while speeding, soon enough with that noise (those idiots insisted on pursuing them), the real cops showed up.
Even so, mom carried on until she reached grandpa's and my uncles came out, by that time the real cops arrived and told her those guys had stolen that police car..>
She still races like a lunatic at times. -
@Rose. Your mom must be a skill driver.
Why the heck would they go after her? Could they be that stupid?
-
@Rose. Your mom must be a skill driver.

She was quite young and didn't have a license x3
Well, firstly, she and her two friends and my one aunt, were quite attractive, especially my mom
And, Iranian men are very, very chauvinistic and proud, he dare a young woman escape them, men just like that? -
There once was a butcher in a small Mexican village. He killed pigs for a living. He had done this since he was a little boy. He kept the pigs in a cell chained up so they wouldn’t run away when he tried to get them.
Years went by, and the butcher died of old age. The butcher had no family, so the shop was taken down, and in its place a park was built. When the park was completed, tall bushes surrounded the park.
Every time a person stayed at the park alone or with someone, he or she would get attacked by a bloody, chained-up pig with huge canines in its mouth. If you were caught, the pig will tear you to pieces and take you to the place were it got slaughtered.
Got that story from http://alienvillage.com/ghoststories/

Do you live in Illinois? I do, and that's a local legend around here (in fact, there really was a bus crash like that).
Anyway, it's my turn:
There was a group of kids in medical school. Being young, reckless, and typical, they decided to play a joke on the girlfriend of one of the boys. Earlier that week, they had been disecting cadavers, so they felt it would be funny to cut off an arm of a cadavar and hang it in her dorm room. After the preperations were done, the friends were waiting in the lobby when they heard her horrified shrieks. They ran up to see how fabulously hilarious their prank had been when they found that the door to her room was locked from the inside (as she was planning on changing her clothes).
The friends panicked and got a teacher, who in turn called the police when the door couldn't be unlocked. After a half hour, her screams stopped, and it wasn't until another hour later that they wer finally able to open the door. When they walked inside, they found the girl gnawing on the arm. She had gone completely insane.

^^^FREAKY. Good story.
This is a classic urban legend I've heard.
A girl is home alone watching a movie. It's late at night and she is in the middle of her family room. The television is to her right because the couch is positioned in an angle with the TV. Across from the couch is a window.
The girl is enjoying the movie when she noticed something at the window. A man was standing RIGHT IN FRONT of the window STARRING at her. She flipped out, grabbed a phone, and locked herself in her room. She called the police immediately.
The police came over and searched the outside of the house. The police came inside to tell her they couldn't find anyone. She began to have a nervous break down. The police decided to comfort her and sat her on the couch. One of the men walked beside the couch and slipped on a puddle near the couch. The men then looked at the puddle. The police officer gave a grim look towards the girl.
"It was very smart of you to run upstairs and hide. The man wasn't starring at you through the window. That was his reflection. He was right behind you."
The girl looked and noticed muddy footprints right behind the couch.

…Something just clicked when I read the first post of page 2.
Lindsay was driving home from a basketball game and she noticed a car was following her. "Maybe he's just taking the same route." she said. The car kept flashing it's headlights, on, then back off. On again. Then back off. She sped up, and the car was following just as fast. She took a dirt road she uses as a shortcut so she could get away from the car behind her. The car followed. When Lindsay got home she got out of the car and ran to her house screaming at her mother to call the police. The driver of the car following her got out with a gun in his hand, and pulled out a man in the backseat with a knife. The Police later showed up, and the driver explained a man had climbed into the car and hid behind the driver's seat, ready to cut Lindsay's throat. He kept turning the headlights on because everytime he did the man would crouch down to avoid being seen. Turns out earlier a psychotic murderer broke out of jail. The guy with the knife was him.
. n. Kinda creepy.
EDIT: No, I've lived in Colorado for my whole life so far. I was reading stories from a Halloween website with Urban Legends like the bus full of kids and the statue thing. Did I tell that one?
o no

Damn! That freaked me out the hell out.
Here's one of mine again:
A girl at college named Amy had just gotten her new dorm room and a new roomate named Melody. It was Holloween, and Amy was stuck in bed with the flu, much to her displeasure because there was a dance that night. Melody was going anyway, but told Amy to call her cell phone in case of an emergency. However, several minutes after Melody left, Amy saw a news report that a dangerous criminal had escaped polic custody, and that everyone was advised to stay indoors. Amy called Melody to get back home as soon as possible, but she got no answer. However, Amy remained postive and decided that Melody was getting some action with a guy.
Later, Amy heared the door to the dorm house open and shut and figured Melody was back, but was running down the hall. She was about to greet Melody when she she heard violent scratching at the door. She became terrified and hid in the closet, where she spent the night. In the morning, she noticed that Melody was not in her bed and bloody footprints were all over the room. Amy called her cell phone again, and when Amy heared Melody's ring tone outside the door she opened it. However, Amy found Melody's headless body slumped against the wall with bloody footprints leading away from it and down the hall.

Couldn't this and your "creepy" thread just be merged into one? They generally fulfill the same criteria, and I don't really see why you needed to make a separate thread just for stories.

The "creepy" thread is just a random, weird and funny gif thread. This is a story thread. Are you going to lock this thread? . n.

This is by far the #1 story the scared me. It is the classic baby sitter urban legend. Many horror movies with baby sitters are based off of these stories. I'm sure everyone has heard this story at least once.
Random Generic Name Choice: Kim
Kim was baby sitting two kids that were twins. The house also had a dog that was quite friendly. Well, it was late at night and Kim put the kids to bed.
Kim rested on her bed in the house. She became worried about the house, until the dog came to her hand that was leaning off the bed. The dog started licking her hand. She took the dog's licking as a sign that everything was okay.
She almost fell asleep, until she heard a loud dripping coming from the bathroom. She went to the bathroom, it was only the shower that was dripping a little bit of water. She turned it off and went back to bed.
She woke about an hour later. The dripping came back. The dog was still licking her hand. She stepped into the bathroom. The dripping wasn't coming from the shower. The dog, the same one that was licking her hand, and both twins were hanging from the ceiling of the shower. Their blood dripping from their bodies was the sound she heard, not the shower.
She flipped out and turned around. A message on the wall was displayed in blood.
"Dogs aren't the only thing that can lick."
She screamed and rushed downstairs. She stopped at the kitchen table which had a note.
"Dear Mother and Father of the house,
Don't worry about the kids. I already gave them their bath.
Love, the Killer."

Classic story! I've heard several versions that combine it with the one I just told (the college dorm room story).

Oh yeah, I also remember this other one, but I'm sure everyone's heard about the spider bite.
Oh well.
When Marie went to bed a spider crawled over her cheek, paused for a minute, then crawled away. She woke up in the morning and saw a red spot on her face, it was tender and slightly sore. "It'll go away later." said her mother. "It's a spider bite." the next day it got bigger. Then the next day it was bigger, more tender and it hurt really bad. "We'll see the doctor tomorrow." While Marie was soaking in the bath, the boil exploded and dozens of tiny spiderlings crawled out.
. n. Ew.

Speaking of scary stories, does anyone remember those books, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark, by Alvin Schwartz? Those fucking scary ass images? -
I memorized all the stories in those books. I want to buy them so I can memorize them even better. . n. There's also Dare to be Scared and Double-Dare to be scared. I memorize alot of scary things.

@Tommy:
Oh yes, I remember that one.

"Oh Susanna" = Scariest story ever.

I only read the first two books of the series. I want to read more, but I don't know if Barnes and Noble sells scary story books.

There was a radio dramatization that scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
Story starts off with a young, newly wed couple purchasing a home in some generic suburban location. Time passes, and life seems fine. They get to now the neighborhood, have a kid, etc. Then one day, while the child is playing in the kitchen, the image of a thin face appears on one of the floor tiles. Of course, this causes great alarm, which only gets worse as several more faces pop up.
So the people in the neighborhood start excavating the premises, and find a small pile of bones. It seems that the home was unknowingly built atop an old burial ground.
The family moves away, and the house is sealed up. But one day, one of the investigators shows up on their doorstep with an audio recording left by a device that was installed in the old house. What it picked up was soft voices, murmuring and whispering. It's just like the faces are conversing with each other…
-
UGH! The story with the spider! I've heard that one. Wasn't that in a movie once?
She popped her pimple as several spiders shot out and she slammed her face into a mirror. Several shards of that mirror stabbed into her face and once she removed the glass, SEVERAL spiders came out of the massive wound.
I don't remember that movie.
Also, creepy with the faces.
And what's the "Oh Susana" story?
-
Crossword: falls out of the chair HOLY SHI-TUH!
That was weird! I also remember something on a radio broadcast.
A woman's daughter had just turned three years old. But this is also when strange things happened. One day the mother gives her daughter some peaches, and leaves the room to answer the phone, she talks on the phone with her mother who was calling about all the woman in the family getting a special something at the age of three. She hears the daughter talking to someone, but the husband was at work and it was just her and her daughter. She thinks it's nothing and end the conversation and returns to her daughter. "Mama, I'm still hungry!" said the little girl, and all her peaches were gone. Usually it was enough to keep her full until dinner. "But they're all gone!" "He ate my peaches!" the mother seems shocked. "Who?" "The man with a beard!" the mother is absolutely dumbfounded by her daughter and decides to tell her hubby about it. The husband looks worried and he goes to the attic and takes out a picture. The picture is worn out but it's a man with a beard and he's wearing an army suit. "My great uncle Jack loved peaches." This happened to her daughter until she turned 5 years old and the girl doesn't seem to remember anything past the age of 6. The End.
lolwut I think I got it wrong.

A few years ago, a mother and father decided they needed a break, so they wanted to head out for a night on the town. They called their most trusted babysitter. When the babysitter arrived, the two children were already fast asleep in bed. So the babysitter just got to sit around and make sure everything was okay with the children. Later that night, the babysitter got bored and went to watch TV, but she couldn't watch it downstairs because they did not have cable downstairs (the parents didn't want children watching too much garbage). So, she called them and asked them if she could watch cable in the parent's room. Of course, the parents said it was ok, but the babysitter had one final request… she asked if she could cover up the angel statue outside the bedroom window with a blanket or cloth, at the very least close the blinds, because it made her nervous. The phone line was silent for a moment, and the father who was talking to the babysitter at the time said, "Take the children and get out of the house... we will call the police. We do not have an angel statue."
The police found all three of the house occupants dead within three minutes of the call. No angel statue was ever found.

Some YouTube comment chainletter was floating around like that too. But with a clown statue and they were still alive.
One night a man by the name of Mike was trying to go to bed but he decided to sit next to the window and try to calm himself. He saw a black hearse drive by and stop at his house. The driver looked out of the window, and he was so ugly he almost gave Mike a heartattack. "There's room for one more." said the driver, he waited for 5 seconds and drove off. Later the next morning Mike was about to take the elevator to his floor in his office building, but it was very crowded. "There's room for one more." said a voice, that turned out to be the driver of the hearse. "…I'll wait for the next one, thanks." Mike kept calm and took the stairs. A news report said that the elevator shaft of the same elevator had broken, and everyone died from the impact of it hitting the ground at 80 MPH.

Once, there was a boy who loved to read. He read everything he could get his hands on, and loved going to his favorite book store. One day, the boy realized he had read everything the store had to offer. He confronted the owner, and asked him if he had anything the boy had never checked out. The owner said why, yes, i do, and pulled out an old, mysterious-looking book called "Death". The cover was covered in faded runes, and the book seemed to chill the very air surrounding it. He gladly sold it to the boy at a discounted price of $50. However, he warned the boy never to read the front page. Well, the boy returned to his house and read the book, and he was content. However, he always wondered what could be on that front page… it haunted him, and was always in the back of his mind. One day, the temptation was too much for the boy, and he flipped to the very front of the book, and dropped the book in HORROR. There, in bold print, was the MSRP: $7.99.

Lol, that was pretty good. This is a great thread. I actually found a collection of all those Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books at my local Walden Bookstore for like 10 dollars. It has all three of them in it. Some seem pretty kiddy nowadays though but it was a good price and brings back memories for me. Yea, those pictures are still creepy as hell though.
-
@The Angel Statue story. That scared the shit out of me. Now I'm scared to look out the window.
@Elevator story. The scared me too. Always hated elevators.
@Death story. LOL. I really wasn't expecting that.
Many might know this story.
Two brothers lived together at their dead father's farm. The farm had a house and an old barn. Surrounding the farm is the corn field. And in the heart of the cornfield is a scarecrow. The brothers were always somewhat creeped out by the scarecrow, but they ignored it.
One day, they were working in the field and noticed something strange. The scarecrow was a few feet closer to the house than usual. Also, there was a dead crow on the floor in front of it. The brothers shrugged and put the scarecrow back.
One day, the older brother went outside and found the scarecrow even closer. The brother picked up the scarecrow and carried it back.
The next morning, the younger brother couldn't find his brother. He looked all over the house and in the corn field. The last place he checked was the barn.
While he was inside the barn, he heard several loud thuds on the ceiling of the barn. He rushed outside with a ladder and climbed up.
On the top of the ceiling was the scarecrow and the brother skinned alive.

Yeah, that's like the story from one of the three books. There's also this one called "Daddy Boogey". I lol'd at the title of the story but I was dead wrong to even chuckle. Here's my own version based off memory.
Mark had always hated his uncle's scarecrow with a passion. It had a friendly but souless smile and two eyes, just two 'x's instead of normal eyes. His older brothers gave it a name, "Daddy Boogey". His older brothers were the reason he loathed the dead sack of hay. They told him the story of how he comes to life at midnight and attacks cars driving by and how he lost his twig hand whe it snapped off a bumper. Though he hated and fear the scarecrow, he respected it greatly because of the creepy stories. Later, he found his brothers throwing stones at Daddy Boogey. "What are you doing?" asked Mark to see the scarecrow's cloth face ripped up and hay sticking out of his cheek. "Don't tell mom, crybaby." one of the two only replied as he threw a rock at the scarecrow's arm, snapping it in two. Mark was about to snap back at his siblings but he heard his mother calling for dinner. His brother pushed him to the dirt to leave him alone with his scarecrow 'friend'. The scarecrow's broken face seemed to frown sadly and stare down at Mark. Mark looked at the face, thinking the sun was only in his eyes. He scrambled to his feet and uttered a 'bye' as he ran for the house. Later that night, it began to rain very hard. Mark was soundly asleep in the attic bedroom, with his brothers and a nightlight. Mark woke up to a loud 'BANGTHUMPWHAM" at about 2:00 AM to find the window open, and the floor getting soaked. He looked out the window and saw three figures wired with barbed wire to a pole, except for the middle which was Daddy Boogey. He screamed when lightning lit up the two other figures, which were his bloody two brother missing their eyes and their tongues, their ears, mouths, and eyes stuffed with dried grass.
I wonder why this story is more detailed than anything else I tell.
Everyone says I'm such an awesome writer/storyteller. [/Usoppbrag]

There's this friend, Lea, she's like 8 years older than me and she was so mature, responsable, etc.
Her dad owned a house near the only public library, a zone where there are big, pretty old houses. It was about Xmas time, and many relatives would come, so they decide to clean up the house in order to use it and celebrate there, In that time Lea was 20.There were the typical furniture, tv, refrigerator, etc and they worked. Lea stayed at night with his brother at the house and began to decorate with xmas things. When she felt sleepy, she went upstairs with him to one of the bedrooms. Then, she hear a noise. She freaked out but saw that his brother wasn't there. She went downstairs and saw that it was the tv, and there was action/murder movies. She was so sleepy and turned it off. Two hours later, she heard again the T.V. Now, she was so pissed off and had all the intetions to sermon Fernando, his brother. She turned off the Tv and looked for his brother. The Tv turned on again. "Fernando, Stop to play with the remot control and come here" She turned off the Tv again but notice this thing… it wasn't connected to the power line (you know it's impossible that it could work) but the Tv was still turned on! She screamed and ran, she stopped in the kiosko of the library and called to her house. She was so scared and still pissed with Fernando. She told her parents that he was trying to scare her. Then her dad said that Fernando called because he didn't fell well, all the dust caused him cough so they had to pick him up and dind't want to wake her up because she seemed tired. Obviously, she started to cry and went to the first tacos restaurant she found and wait for them there.
