People Who Had The Worst Neighbors Shared What Happened

When I was seven, our next door neighbor came pounding on our front door to scream at and threaten to unalive my dad because our pet that we kept in our backyard was being too loud. The pet was a rabbit. A rabbit.

Some 15 years ago when my parents and I lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We ended up befriending one of the neighbors and her two kids. Well, one day, we're all hanging out together and I notice her son had some pretty bad bruises and a nice size knot on his head. I kinda shrugged it off and we continued playing. Well, that night the mother comes over and confesses to my mom she unalived the boy. She ended up drowning him in the bathtub after beating him severely. She wasn't remorseful at all, when she left back to her house my mom called the cops immediately and she was arrested shortly after. She vowed that when she got out she would unalive my mom. We got out of Indiana and moved to another state.

I had some neighbors when growing up that were crazy fanatic Christians (not sure what kind specifically). I and my family was Mormon (they still are I'm not), and they would constantly tell us we were going to h**l and that they needed to save us. Also, they freaked out over the Y2K thing and stockpiled food, water, and guns. When my dad talked to them about it in a just generally friendly, neighborly way, not a mocking way, they made it clear that if his children (me and my two sisters and my brother) ended up coming to them for food after the disaster, he would shoot us without remorse and without hesitating. And he was the more stable one of them.

The streets were blocked off as two men in b*mb suits, a b*mb robot, a b*mb sniffing K-9, and a slew of other assorted officers did their assigned duties. I did not see who was piloting the robot, but it found the b*mb and brought it out to be detonated. The robot placed it in what I am assuming to be some sort of b*mb disposal container, and was then detonated. It shook the walls of our house and knocked some pictures off the walls. Then the K-9 went in to find any other devices, and about 10 minutes later came up empty handed.

He decided it was me who called in a domestic violence call and threw these over the fence after s******* bottles at my front door all night. Cops won’t do anything because I didn’t “see” him do it, even though there’s no access to my car as it’s behind a locked garage roller door. The fence that connects our properties was damaged as the shade cloth that had been put up for privacy had been ripped down. It connected from the fence to the roof of our veranda. The bricks he threw also match his house. Then while fixing the shade cloth he come outside and accused me of watching his kids. Have since found out he’s complained to his real estate that me and my wife (we are both females, 29 and 30) are making HIM feel unsafe!?!

I’m about to call a non-emergency. I’m super creeped out!

I can’t upload video but they were setting off fireworks at the end of their driveway with one of the garage doors open. A LOT of fireworks discharged way too far from his house, including into his own garage. He had quite a few fireworks stored in the garage which helped the house be engulfed pretty quickly.

The boyfriend called them. They got all our statements. Apparently he tried unloading the gun to clean it but somehow discharged it. The bullet seems to be lodged in the ceiling so everyone was fine. Apartment people let us know they’re gonna handle it. We’re all fine but I was very upset. Edit: Few hours later, I put a straw in the hole and it gave me a good idea where the impact is, unfortunately the floor is thick of carpet. I found a dent in the wall so it could have bounced off it but I have yet to find out where. Also the guy is getting charged.

There was this old guy who lived with his wife and his dog a few doors away in a big house. Someday they divorced, and the lady moved away for reasons unknown. One morning, I left my house as usual to catch the school bus. Our street is relatively quiet, and normally there isn't much stuff going on. But this morning was a bit different. There were a few neighbors on the street, and my parents said that there's something wrong with the old guy who lived on the end of the street, but nothing specific was known.

So I went to school and didn't think much about it. As I returned and exited the bus at the bus stop, I saw that the whole street was cordoned off and evacuated. Police cars and officers were everywhere, and even a SWAT team was there. I had no idea what was going on. I met up with my parents, and they explained to me that the old guy tried to end his life and planned to take the whole street with him. He flooded his entire basement with gasoline and had an improvised b*mb in his garden shed, which was essentially a big pile of propane gas tanks tied together. A timer clock and a toaster served as the fuse mechanism for both the b*mb and the basement.

Before the old man triggered the b*mb, he wrecked the entire interior of his house with an axe and then went to the garage with his poor dog, locked the gate, and turned his car engine on. He put his dog in the trunk and seated himself in the driver's seat, waiting to die from asphyxiation before he would be blown.

Luckily, the plan didn't work out, because a neighbor heard the car engine and became suspicious. He looked through the garage window and at first thought the man had a heart attack. So he broke the window and entered, only to see the man more or less conscious in his car. At first, he had no idea what was going on, but then he noticed the distinctive smell of gasoline. He broke the door to enter the house and discovered the mess the old guy created. The neighbor immediately called the cops, and a b*mb squad took care of the explosives just in time. Unfortunately, the dog suffocated in the trunk and was already dead when the neighbor arrived.

The authorities arrested that guy and put him into a psychiatric ward after the court process. He will remain there until the end of his life. The estimated blast radius of the b*mb would've been sufficient enough to destroy several houses and do severe damage to the surrounding area.

Found out my neighbor sleeps with a loaded firearm today (corner of my computer desk, right behind my monitor).

Downhill neighbor had a wide-open view of our beautiful lower yard. They got a barky dog that they left in their backyard all day. Dog torn down our fence trying to get out and get to our dog. We build a new solid wood fence and then they complained, now that they couldn’t see our yard, that we were spying on them from our yard. Whatever. Then they build a raised deck so that they could see over the fence. We planted a row of bamboo and haven’t seen them since. They called the building department about our fence. The building department came out, said it was legit, and cited them for their illegal deck.

They were cleaning or something and dumped a whole bucket of bleach and water off their balcony and directly onto mine, covering my cat and all my furniture and clothes in chemicals.

I told them to stop the first time and then not 3 minutes later they dumped another bucket of chemicals on the other side landing on my cat grass which is now unsafe to eat.

Idk what I can do about it other than yell at them which I did... When I knocked on their door they didn't open it. What a surprise.

Update: Washed cat and filed a police report
Update 2: I knocked on their door again a bunch but they ignoring me... They definately were home. So I called the guys dad and his dad sounded angry and said he would call the son/tennant straight away. I then cancelled the police report because my cat was healthy and fine after a bath, and no serious property damage was done. Plus, I felt like a scolding from your dad when you are a grown man should be enough. Also, I don't really like getting police involved in stuff unless nessisary.

My poor car was an innocent bystander. We have never had any issues with the family. He just went crazy in the middle of the night. He was throwing beer bottles too and our street was covered in broken glass.

This was the fourth time this had happened. I’m in a townhouse with shared patios. They tie their dog on their patio in 95-degree weather, and it comes to our side and p**p on our side by our patio chairs. So I left a note today to just ask for it to be cleaned up and for measures to be put in place to prevent it from happening again- and this was the response. I’m afraid to report it because it’s probably going to escalate.

My aunt, who was a single mother at the time and ran a daycare service in her house, lived next to a psychopath. After a bad ice storm one day, my aunt had a bunch of tree limbs fall into her backyard. Her neighbor's husband came over and cleaned it up for her. Ya know, just being a good neighbor. And in turn, my aunt thanked him with a case of beer. Ya know, just being a good neighbor. Well his wife took that as flirting, and so began a one sided feud against my aunt.

It was awhile ago, so I don't remember everything. What I remember though was horrifying. She tried to run over my aunt's dog once. Another time she called child protective services and told them my aunt was an adult worker and working at her house during the daycare hours. Probably the worst one though was when my aunt found a bit of her house and grass near the house burnt. She's old highschool friends with the fire inspector, so he came and confirmed a fire was started using a propellant.

My aunt took her to court over these things, but I don't remember what came of it. I'm pretty sure she at least got a restraining order.

Someone anonymously sent this to my neighbor.

Neighbor stabbed his wife multiple times and then himself...and if there was one guy who I would never believe would be capable of this it was that guy.

Cops are there. Theyre calling his sister to gain access inside the house. He isnt answering the door. The last time I saw him was about a week ago. I hope he's ok.

I was renting an apartment a few years ago and the landlord decided to rent the basement to a young man who "got into some bad things but is doing better for himself"...he would stay up all hours of the night playing electric guitar. One night (around 4am and I had to be at work at 8am), I was getting so frustrated that I stomped on the floors to remind him that there were people living upstairs..I heard him go outside for a few minutes, but thought nothing of it. Went to drive my car the next morning and he had slashed my tires.

My friend has a key to his neighbors house. When she goes to work, he goes in and watches her tv and uses her toilet, then leaves. He leaves everything else untouched. Other than this, the guy is a normal dude. He does it just because he can.

This is why fireworks aren’t allowed in city limits.

My neighbor was living with his parents his whole life because he couldn't work due to some psychological disorder. I don't know what it was exactly. But he walks around his house all day and looks at it from all possible angles. He's watching his house or his car in the garage all day. Sometimes he is watching from inside, just staring outside absently. When you walk past him and greet him, he never answers. Doesn't even seem to notice you. Sometimes he walks around the block with his old leather suitcase and sunglasses on. He returns quickly all the time. When he recognizes something that is not right, he calls the police. Even when someone turns the car around in his driveway or parks near it. When I was a child and we had birthday parties where the parents parked their cars near his driveway to collect their children, he nearly always called the police. When I come home late at night, his front door is always open a little bit with him sitting behind and watching. Sometimes when friends are over and we go for a smoke outside at night, he comes outside and goes to his garage. He has got very bright lights installed and pretends to check his car, at night at 4am, of course. It's kind of disturbing, but you get used to it from time to time. On the other hand, we never fear any burglars breaking into our house, because we know our neighbor is watching.

Yesterday night at about 11 I heard what sounded like pebbles hitting my bedroom window, then a male voice screaming. About 15 minutes later I heard a knock on my door and checked the Ring to find a guy I didn’t recognize standing there. He said he was my downstairs neighbor and told me to stop stomping so loud, it’s been six months of nonstop noise, and he’s “sick of it”. I moved in three months ago, not six, and I’ve never had a noise complaint in any of my previous apartments. Plus my job means I’m gone for 12-14 hours a day. I don’t know what he’s hearing, but I don’t think it’s me. Even if it is, throwing pebbles and then coming to my door at midnight is a weird way to handle it. This whole situation is f******* me out.

We can see more of his face from the second floor and it's definitely Jobs in his later years. My roommates and I argued over it for a week lol.

When my sister and I were about 5 and 6, we lived in a small town community (about 600 people) and we would frequently play outside without parental supervision. Our neighbor would, unbeknownst to our mother, take us to the local Ice cream shop for ice cream. One day we moved without explaination. Years later it was told to us that that neighbor was a registered s*x offender and p*****ile and mom moved for our safety. She freaked out when she learned about our trips to the ice cream shop. To my knowledge neither me or my sister were ever a******ed, but it is still very scary to think about.

When I was a little girl, like 10, I had this grown man neighbor that spanked me every time I saw him when I was playing outside. Just one swift slap, like, daily. It was obviously only when my parents weren’t around, but it was incredibly inappropriate. So maybe not creepy so much as p*****iley, but still...

I've been having problems with this neighbor since they moved in years ago. They originally built their fence 2 feet into my property early 2020. I had to pay for a boundary survey and lawyer to get them to correct their mistake. Decided to build a privacy fence and be done with them once and for all this past November. One month later they raise the hight of their fence and this pops up (facing front to back). Police won't do anything and I can't afford a civil suit. (Texas)

So this guy had been living here for 5-7 years maybe even longer (I had a friend who’s lived here years before I moved in that confirmed) -he’s always been super weird and either cusses you out or desperately tries to convince you to go inside his house. He had a caregiver for a long time but I noticed I stopped seeing them for a few weeks - when I noticed the window was full of flies, I immediately assumed something or someone had died inside (ofc bc of the situation I thought he unalived his caregiver or something bc it was PACKED with flies) so I called the cops. I was on the way to work when this happened so when I passed by his floor and saw them going in, I told the officer outside I was the one who called so if they had questions to call me etc - that was the end of that A couple weeks later I’m in the process of moving out of here for obvious reasons lol, including this tenant - my apartment manager just said “he no longer lives here” Now, no idea how long these “other” flies have been here, but they’re here and multiplying. I’m going to report and call - again But this is just such a weird and scary situation Also want to note that in the last post I made, a few people were insistent that he was a hoarder - I’m 98% sure this was not the case nor the reason for the flies and now, Black Soldier Flies (?) ((not exactly sure but, they match the descriptions)

My current neighbor. She's a hoarder, and her things are starting to spill over to my side of the driveway. I suspect her house may have bedbugs because of the bedbug spray she leaves outside her house for all to see. But the creepy part about her is how she can creepily sneak up behind you as I pull into the driveway and get out of the car, she offers you veggies that are rotten—these she scavenges from somewhere.

I caught her one time at her yard, which our properties are just divided by a 6' tall picket fence, and she was digging through the rubbish at night. She also has crosses and various religious relics posted all over the exterior of her house. I also found evidence that she's been going through my own trash bins, meaning she either trespasses in my yard or she waits till I take the trash out and goes through them. I am looking into installing a webcam.

Obviously quarantine of some kind but can't be sure what exactly they're trying to k**l in there.

Lived above a guy in a really old fourplex and I guess the wood floors squeaked really loudly when I walked around. It's not like I was stomping around either but the dude would constantly come upstairs and bang on my door and yell at me to stop moving around. I felt badly for him in the beginning because he seemed genuinely frustrated but he didn't seem to understand or believe that I wasn't slamming my feet on my floor/his ceiling.

I called my landlord several times asking him if he had a solution. I couldn't move because I was locked in to my lease but my landlord was just like, "buy a lot of rugs".

It got to the point that I couldn't take the constant yelling and I was literally either tip toeing around or hopping from my couch to my chair in order to get out of my living room so that he wouldn't be standing at my door yelling at me.

Finally I went downstairs one day and asked if we could talk about the situation because I felt like maybe if I looked him in the eye when he was calm and explained that I wasn't doing it on purpose and that there was literally nothing more I could do (I had already bought areas rugs ffs!) he would maybe understand. So I went downstairs and very nicely explained and he seemed to be listening. And then he said "I'm about at the point that if it happens again I'm going to show up at your door with a really big knife." And then he just stared at me.

I basically ran out of there, called my landlord and said that I was more or less being threatened and a month later the guy moved out. And then as soon as I could I did too.

My parents’ neighbor owns a landscaping company, so he has a dump truck. His house is set further back from the road than theirs, so his driveway, which is right on the property line, extends past their house and next to their backyard. My dad noticed the neighbor turning the dump truck around in my parents’ backyard when the ground was very soft from some recent rain. He went back, and sure enough, there were giant ruts in my parents’ yard. When my dad confronted the neighbor about using their backyard to turn around, the neighbor responded by saying, “I’m sorry, but if I turned it around in my yard, it would have left ruts in my lawn.” So he knew it would leave ruts, didn’t want them in his yard, and left them in my parents’ yard instead.

The neighbor said that their kitchen is right next to that room where they found the body. There were bugs crawling over all the time, and they couldn't open the windows because of the smell.

He slept in the trash on the ground pretty sad. In my 24 years of living here i had never seen his house. even from the outside his garden was a jungle.

I live next door to a family of exclusive brethren (pretty much [intense] Christians who aren't allowed to use any technology). I live in a two-story house, and my room overlooks the front yard, with a clear view of their house. A few years ago, my brother from Germany came to visit us. On his last day, I looked out of the window to see if he had finished loading the car and noticed the Brethren lady watching from her window. Every time my brother or dad turned in the direction of her house, she would duck under the window. She didn't notice me watching, though. So it was pretty funny. Anyway, she would constantly do this. When my dad was mowing the lawns, when I walked home from school, I would always catch a glimpse of her from the corner of my eye. She would talk on the phone while staring at my family. Her husband cut the trees on our side of the fence, specifically so the family could watch us. Which is illegal in my country. Tacks, fishing hooks, nails, and other sharp objects always ended up on our driveway, which led to a lot of punctured tires. My biggest worry was that my dogs would get hurt, though. It's so creepy. She took a photo of my boyfriend's dad's license plate when he was picking me up. A video camera was pointed at my house (keep in mind, according to their religion, things like phones are banned). The weirdest part is, my family is boring. We just stay inside most of the time and keep to ourselves. I don't know how or why this started, but it gives me the chills.

A little background on the neighbor: she's elderly, lives alone, and has very few social skills. When we first moved in, we were actually warned by the homeowner that she would come over every weekend and talk for a little while, which she did for the first 6 months or so. Now, she just stares at us through the screen door. We wave and say hi, but she never reciprocates.

Next door neighbor sent us a letter through the mail asking us to never park in front of their house after I parked there once. Kicker is a couple of years later they seem to have started some illegal home business with employees and every single day there are at least three cars parked in front of our house.

It's actually her bedroom. The worst part is that our bedroom window upstairs looks straight into hers, so she watches us upstairs too. No time without the curtains drawn because the girlfriend gets creeped out.

To be honest, if it wasn't on private property, my intrusive thoughts would definitely get the best of me. It's also on a main road and the casket looks to be brand new. The people seem to treat that strip of land as a dumping ground because those two vehicles have been there for years now, unmoved. So creepy. To make it even weirder, the police station is maybe a block or so away, they've most certainly seen this out on their rounds.
