Sometimes getting an angry message from a parent can be scary enough to increase your heart rate, not to mention receiving a disturbing note from someone you don’t even know. And while the latter case sounds like a scenario of a horror movie, for certain unfortunate individuals, it’s something they have to deal with in real life.
Quite a few instances of people receiving notes that are beyond creepy have been shared online, and today, we’ve put some of them on this list for you to browse. If you’re curious to see what messages such notes bring, scroll down to find them, but view them at your own risk, as they might be quite disturbing.
In addition to the notes, below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with the Cornelia H. Dudley Professor of Psychology at Knox College, Frank T. McAndrew, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions on the effect such creepy messages can have on a person.

#5 My Cousin’s Stalker
“Please park in your old spot by the sidewalk so I can watch you come and go. I can’t see you so well in this new spot, and all I have to keep me company is your photo.”
For context, my cousin found these zip ties and some sort of tag on her car. The door handle and apartment door also had zip ties and a note on her apartment door.

#12 An Old Man Who’s Been Stalking Me Left A Note On My Car At My Job
For context, this man was a patron at my work and has been coming around for the past 4+ years to disturb my peace of mind and bring me small gifts. He was generally friendly and pleasant, but always gave me a gross feeling in my stomach that told me I should definitely keep our interactions brief and never give him any information about myself.
The last time I spoke to him, he insisted that I go out to lunch with him or call him on his phone. Putting my foot down, I told him I was not at all interested in ever doing something like that, but I thanked him for the gifts. His reaction was subtle, but it really made me change my tune because I could detect a certain callousness and animosity in his demeanor that stood out as a huge red flag to me.
Today, this note was taped to my car. I have no idea why he addressed me as “Garbo,” but I have to assume it’s a reference to Greta Garbo.
Hopefully, this is the end of him coming around, but of course I will be on guard for anything suspicious.

#17 A Note I Found On The Ground Outside My House
Transcript:
“John,
I’m not mad at you. I am terrified by/of you. Once your hands do the reverse seal and your eyes go dark… I have to go fast. Last night, did you see these finger bruises on my wrists? neck? You hit my left side hip and knee with the door so hard it’s purple. I can’t walk without limping. Thank you so much for the rides that helped so much. I’m sorry. I’m just scared. You really scare me. I have to protect myself.”

#18 This Note I Found Inside A Desk At My High School
“I saw (different names) arm hair up close on (different dates).”
Back in high school, I was in my class, and the classroom had one of those desks with a space underneath to store stuff. I reached inside, and this is what I found. A couple of months later, my friend found another one just like this on the floor, but it was for January.
We reported it to the school, and they took the second note. As far as I know, nothing ever came of it.

#27 My Mom Found This Today While Looking Through An Old Notebook. I Wrote It As A Kid, But Have No Memory Of Doing So
“If I was invisible, I would haunt my parents. I would first start out with minor things, like pulling their covers at night or knocking dishes over. Then it would get worse. I would turn the lights on and off. I would whisper sinister things in their ear if they decided to move out; I’d stalk them.”

#39 Today I Woke Up To This Note On My Car
The note was placed on my windshield while my car was parked in my building garage, which happens to be accessible to the public.
I’m reluctant to report this to the SF police because they are incompetent and their hands are tied behind their backs.
I’m worried that the threat will be acted upon in the near future.
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
