Chapter 1: The Mask

 * So, this is a strange story. It takes place quite a long time ago when I just got into playing ROBLOX and started growing up playing the game. I was around 10 years old which was back in 2015. I was enjoying playing "Natural Disaster Survival", which was an all time favorite of mine back then. It reached around 10:00 PM and soon all my friends had to get off for school in the morning when my parents were a little more open about the time I could stay up till. I played a few more games by myself ranking up my score to be highest on the leader board. By the time I was done playing, it was around 10:43 PM, and my bedtime was 11:30 PM. I didn't want to get off cause I was always a gamer and wanted something to do on the computer, so I was bored, and decided to scroll through my friend request's on ROBLOX. it was getting close to my bedtime and I was about to call it a night when one particular ROBLOX user named  'Gallows_Brink'  caught my eye. It was a recent one and thought his account was cool, regarding the whole  'creepy vibe' this account gave off. I was young and figured more friends the better so I added him back. Almost in that split second I added him I got an instant message notification. This was his exact words, and this will never leave my mind.
 * "Your name is Tyler *Last name*, am I correct?" I hesitantly responded with a "Yes, and how do you know that?" At this point I figured it was one of my friends trolling me by creating a new account and being a complete nut case thinking it could work, so I followed up with "This is one of my friends trolling me is it? And if so, haha. You got me, now cut it out." I never got a response back except "Do not interrupt my thinking." And this point I was thinking this guy or whoever it was was a complete joke, so I went to unfriend him. I clicked unfriend on his account and it didn't work, I tried multiple more times. Clicking over and over, but it wasn't working. I received another notification from him, and this one made my heart skip a beat. "You can't leave that easily, we just started to get to know one another." In my head; One thousand things were running like: "How did he know I was trying to unfriend him?" "Can it see what I'm doing?" "What is even happening?" Once I finally regained to my computer I asked "Who is this? Tell me or I'm calling the police, I have my phone right next to me." It wasn't a 'Phone', more like the iPod, I wasn't old enough to have a phone yet, so that was the best I had. He responded with a quick "I don't think that will be necessary." And shortly after the WIFI on my iPod turned itself off, and since it was an iPod, they only ran on WIFI.

Chapter 2: Staring Problem

 * Replica of My screen from 2015.png little bit later he asked "Join me, we should have some fun." I responded with a fast "No, I don't think I will." And he followed up with "Oh, what a shame. Here then, let me help you." I had my hands off my keyboard and was watching my computer in complete eeriness and bizarreness as the whole Laptop started to operate itself. I was tempted to go wake my parents up to help me with the whole situation, but since they were heavy sleepers. That wouldn't have been such a smart idea. I was then dragged into a game called 'Black Box' Which the whole game was just a Black Box. I was in complete fright when his ROBLOX avatar came super close to mine. The game was forced First Person Player or better known as: "FPP". He came super close to the screen and almost my whole screen was just that white mask. I tried moving my character, but I couldn't and all I was seeing was his face. There was a long pause and then it said "Don't stare, we have being stared at." I tried moving my character to look away, but I couldn't. It continued to say "Don't stare, we have being stared at." over and over again until it stopped. And then the most terrifying thing happened that I will never forget in my days of playing ROBLOX or in real life. He said "How would you feel if I stared at out?" I didn't know at first, and he was already in-game starting at me. That's when I realized, my heart started to race and I started to sweat. I was to scared to, but I did it anyway. I turned around in my chair and there he was in the doorway. His white mask with the long snout, and dressed in all black. it waved and the last words I heard before I lost it was "You shouldn't have stared, we hate being stared at." I screamed, I screamed as loud as I could and it started to come towards me. I didn't know what to do, my body was not moving. All I could do was just scream out my lungs. I must've screamed out enough cause my dad came into my room and turned on the light. He yelled "Hey! Who are you?!" He had his gun in his hand he keeps in case someone enters the house, and in that case someone DID. It bolted out the window and into the woods we had behind out house. My dad tried running after that thing and he came back empty handed. While he was away I checked my laptop, In-game he was gone and I also checked my friends list to make sure it wasn't there as well, but there was no trace of anything based upon the lines of it contacting me. I didn't get any sleep that night and I stayed home the rest of the week. My dad was questioning me things like "What was that?!" and "Why was it here in the first place?!" Things normal parents would say when someone almost tried taking there child. I didn't play ROBLOX for years and only recently got back into playing it. It still haunts me till this day seeing that face, and it closing in on me. I don't get much sleep at night anymore and have always locked my windows and closed my doors before I crawl under the sheets.

Epilogue

 * In the end I am now 16 and still play the game, but rarely on occasion. I just recently had a thought about it and realized that my camera on top of my screen was on the whole time. Leading me to think it was seeing me through there. My friends back then never questioned me about what happened that night, nor did I ever want to talk about it to begin with. On occasion they do ask me why I had cops cars surrounding my house. I quickly avoid the comment and switch the topic and start a new conversation. One day I was curious and decided that I would look up his user, and out of pure shock. It is still there. If I could only say one thing; Do not interact with that user at all, or whatever it is. I read up about someone else experience with him and they told me he joins ROBLOX games and just stares at random players thinking about what to do next. He even added it may follow them around in-game until they finally get creeped out and leave. And the final bit before I let him go, and I quote "Be afraid when it circles you." That is when he left. What did he mean by 'Circle'? I continued to study the account and noticed he only has three friends as well. One is oxklyn the other is oxklei and the last is jmatthew2128. oxklyn and oxklei, that was most likely a couple in real life that played ROBLOX. I assumed he got them both at one time, hopefully they are okay. I followed up on the person who game me the information about it, and he added also that he thinks it has friended the people said to be seen by it beyond the screen. Because of that, hopefully he doesn't get more added in the near future. This whole encounter 6 years back lead me to believe that anything can happen on online games, even entities/users like that one. I wouldn't interact with it as I said so already. Unless you are planning on him wanting to see you next.
