My mother was almost killed by her stalker neighbor when she was
younger. Cops suspect he was hiding in the house with a kitchen knife
while she was in the house. Luckily she got a creeped out feeling and
ran to her grandparents house.

EDIT. Okay so since people are asking for the story I am going to just
copy/paste from when I told it before. Okay so when my mom a a youngin,
her and her mother lived in a trailer in the backyard of a family
members house. My mom was about 12 at the time that the man in the
neighboring house started to stare at her from time to time. She got a
creepy vibe from him but figured it was just a harmless lonely guy. One
night when my mom was alone she heard something on the roof of their
trailer. Then she heard what sounded like foot steps slowly walking
along the metal rooftop. Given they were dirt poor at the time they did
not have a phone so she eventually ran out of the trailer and into the
house without looking on the roof. When her uncle went outside to
investigate nothing was on the roof. A few weeks went by with no
incidents and my mom figured she must have been overly scared of
nothing. More fucked up stuff would randomly happen, but only when she
was alone, and it was always spaced out a week or two. If I remember
correctly this occurred over maybe a couple months before it stopped
completely. Months go by without any weird instances at all until one
night my mom wakes up to the trailer unbelievably hot, she could feel
the heater on full blast. She got out of bed and was about to go to the
control for the trailer's heater but she was overcome with a bad feeling
and decided to just go into the house. The uncle went out to the trailer
and noticed that the lock on the door was broken or messed with and he
looked inside quickly but didn't see anything. His wife made him call
the police and when they came out they searched the trailer and found
one of the kitchen knifes behind a chair next to the heating controller.
They suspected that the neighbor went into the trailer, turned the heat
up and crouched behind the chair waiting for my mom to come by and then
who knows. It's been a long time since I heard the story but from what I
remember the cops questioned the neighbor but really couldn't do
anything about it. Luckily my mom and grandmother were able to move out
of that town right after that. My mom told me that about five or
something years later she was visiting other family who lived in a
nearby town and she saw the neighbor at the grocery store and she bolted
out before he saw her.
