Hi, Reddit, I’m just a normal guy from the country Taiwan, this is my real-life encounter with a man called the Smiling Man, leave in comments if you have met the same person, so we can share our stories, I don’t have much time, so this is going to be a short summary of the horrific encounter about me and that terrifying but mysterious man, I still can’t forget about him yet, please leave in the comments ways to forget about creepy things, to continue my normal life, without nightmares in my sleep.
It happened in the year 2017, before the pandemic, I was having a vacation in Illinois after a long time of work, thinking that this vacation would be a relaxing one, but I had some bad luck, my old Toyota ended up without gas since I forgot to fill the tank with gas, frustrated with myself, I dragged the extra gas tank back to the gas station to get gas for my car after some time, I finally got the gas and filled it in my car, then I noticed something, or someone standing at the cold alley, slightly dancing, weird, I thought, as I looked closely at the man, he had strange with eyes, like they were bulging out of his eye sockets, and he had a smile that made me get goosebumps, it was not a happy smile, it’s more like a smile that came out of a horror movie,
Oh god, I thought, that’s so weird,
then the man started to walk to where I was, still dancing, then he suddenly just started to run towards me, chasing me away from my car, I could have run away if I was in my car right now, then I started to run as fast as I could since he was chasing me, but he just kept getting close to me, then I remembered the gun that I had in my back pocket, I pulled it out as fast as I could, then pulled the trigger at the weird man, he kept on dodging the bullets though, at that moment I was getting anxious that I would get killed by that guy, at that moment, I ran towards my car, opened the door and put the key in the starter, then I drove away from the mysterious man, I looked at the mirror and saw him smiling at me, then walking away, that night I kept on having nightmares about the man The next day, I searched for stories about the mysterious guy on my phone, then I found out that he was called the Smiling Man, then I thought, of course, he is called that because of the horrific smile on his face, then I also found out close encounters of people with him, I could never forget that man, the Smiling Man with his big, white, bulging eyes, and that terrifying smile, so I told myself to never again go to Illinois, forever, for my life.
