Story 1
Hey guys, if the company I worked for found out that I was writing this I
would be canned immediately so the who/where is intentionally vague.
My name is T and I deliver pizzas is a small rural town in northern Canada.
I'm writing this immediately after getting off shift and i'm scared
shitless just recollecting it so bear with my garbage writing. The rural
town that I deliver in consists of about 25,000 people spread out along the
foothills of a large mountain range. Many people that live here are
farmers, loggers, and crap like that. We have a small college here too so
there are a few students from out of town living here as well. Unlike most
delivery companies, the one that I work for allows people outside of the
city limits to order pizza up to about 50km away from our location. Our
company is like this because many of the towns residents actually live out
of city limits in the foothills where their farms are. Obviously, this
causes me and other drivers to be gone for long periods of time on
deliveries. During the long deliveries we aren't expected back for a
minimum of an hour before my boss starts calling. To top it off, we are
open until 5 am every night. This combination of variables has caused me to
witness and be a part of some really messed up and creepy shit during my
several years working here. I haven't told anyone much of it; but after
tonight I need to get this off of my chest. I'm positive that I was almost
murdered tonight.
Tonight started out like most other Tuesday nights: I was making next to no
tips and getting increasingly depressed about how my life as a driver was
panning out. I had already taken several deliveries out to the boonies and
most of the people didn't even toss a dollar my way. When the in-store
delivery computer chimed that I had a delivery, I dreaded that it would be
out to the boonies. Lo and behold, this delivery was to a house that hadn't
ordered before exactly 50KM from our hub location. Feeling pretty pissed, I
looked at the special delivery instructions portion of the delivery slip
and felt a little bit better:
"BIG TIP AS LONG AS INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOLLOWED: Take the pizza inside the
house to the upstairs bedroom, door will be unlocked." Instructions like
these aren't uncommon, some people can be really damn lazy. Feeling excited
that my tips were about to pick up, I raced out there at record speeds. I
didn't even stop to get a coffee like I usually do on those long
deliveries.
After about 25 minutes of driving down mostly dirt road, I reached what my
GPS told me was the correct address. I hadn't seen another house for at
least the last 5 km which again, wasn't that uncommon out in the boonies.
Pulling up the driveway, I realized that this house wall all kinds of
messed up. From the road it looked okay, but close up I could tell that no
one had lived here in a long ass time. The house was two stories tall, with
a roof that was caved in in a few spots and broken windows all over. To top
it off there was no door to speak of.
"Unlocked my ass" I mumbled as I opened my door and went around the other
side of my car to grab the pizza. As I was doing this I started to hear a
sound that made every hair on my body stand up. From the top left window,
which from the directions on the tag was where the owner wanted to pizza, I
could faintly hear laughing. What creeped me out about that laughing was
that it wasn't your typical laugh-because-something-is-funny laugh. The
only way I can describe it is that it sounded like someone was trying to
imitate laughing, despite never hearing a laugh in their life. It sounded
so... Fake. It was one long low "haaaaaaaaaaaaaa" followed by a quick "HA"
Everything about it was so off. Now thoroughly freaked out I squeaked out a
weak "hello" in front of the door. No matter how hard I try, I cannot get
the sound of whatever that was up there out of my head. After about thirty
seconds of waiting, I heard a response: "I'm very hungry please hurry."

2. Jack Garner
that phrase in itself doesn't seem terrifying in any way, but the way that
whatever was up there said it has me fighting back a panic attack just
thinking about it. The way that thing talked was so inhuman and so wrong,
its cadence was off and its voice seemed so strained. Whatever that thing
was, I never found out. I dropped the pizza on the floor and ran as fast as
humanly possible. Despite writing this in the safety of my own home, I
still feel so creeped out thinking about it. Was I a bitch for not going up
there, and was it probably just some sad old fat man who couldn't get out
of bed? Again, apologies for the crap writing. I've never actually told
anyone about all the weird stuff that happens to me on the job, but if you
guys will listen, I think I can muster up the courage to recount some more
messed up things.

if the company I worked for found out I was writing this I'd be canned
immediately so the who and where is intentionally vague my name's T and
I deliver pizzas in a small rural town in northern Canada the town I
delivering consists of about 25,000 people spread out along the
foothills of a large mountain range many people who live here are
farmers and loggers and shit like that we have a small College here too
so there's a few students from out of town living here as well unlike
most delivery companies the one that I work for allows people outside
of the city limits to order pizza up to 50 kilometres away from our
location our companies like that because many of the town's residents
actually live out of the city limits in the foothills where the farms
are if you're 50 kilometres away it'll cost an extra 20 bucks that
might seem outrageously high but believe me people really like their
fucking pizza obviously this causes me and other drivers to be gone for
long periods of time on deliveries to top it off we're open until 5:00
a.m. every night this combination of variables has caused me to witness
Sam be part of some really fucked up and creepy shit during my several
years working here I don't know if other drivers in different parts of
the world have the same issues but here in northern Canada there's a
lot of really creepy and questionable stuff going on I don't consider
myself superstitious in any way but some of the things I see I can't
explain before anyone calls me out and says I'm the only one
experiencing these things I'm not other drivers and I regularly hit the
bar off the chef's and some of them are really messed up over some of
the stuff they've seen I know a guy who keeps her lamp on inside of his
car at night because he's so terrified of the dark after something
happened to him that he won't tell anyone about several months ago I'll
want to say December I was working a close shift and my delivery sector
was mostly the outskirts of town along the foothills and further north
being December in Canada and there was about six inches of fresh snow
and only the highways and artery roads were plowed properly driving the
rest of the roads would be a death wish if you didn't have the right
gear and experience luckily for me I have an AWD car studded tires and
chains in case things go really south and I'm one of the more senior
drivers being one of the few people with an all-wheel-drive car I was
requested to take another pizza to the edge of our delivery range since
the weather was so shitty I called the number on my sled to confirm the
address and to check that they still wanted the pizza getting the okay
from what seemed like a cheery old lady I set out down the highway just
after I left the city limits I noticed something alarming all of the
lights including the street lights were out assuming a power outage due
to the storm I give my boss a call to confirm it he confirmed that it

3. Jack Garner
was indeed a sector white power outage I attempt to give the lady I'm
delivering to a call hey this is your delivery driver I'm noticing
there's a power outage sham was wondering if you still wanted the pizza
despite these terrible conditions she said that she did and that she
had a backup generator powering her house so it'll be hard to miss
knowing that I'd hooked a substantial tip I put my blinker on and
continued back down the highway one thing you need to understand is
just how dark it was with it being later than midnight and not a single
light on the only things illuminating my way were my subpar headlights
on top of that it was snowing quite heavily for reference my field of
vision looked exactly like this if my car were to die or my headlights
were to go out I'd be completely fucked about ten kilometres down what
I can only assume was a dirt road and ernie 'the the mountains of snow
in the middle of nowhere i came across a car in the middle of the road
with its hazards on the car was diagonal across the road and from its
tracks I could tell it tried to stop suddenly and lost control moving
about 20 meters from the car I couldn't see any signs of life and
noticed that the driver's side door was swung open and snow was piling
inside the car what allow me the most was what looked like blood on the
inside of the window and all over the steering wheel as well upon
clearing the snow from inside the car it was obvious that there was a
pretty brutal accident here as there was blood all over the driver's
side my mediocre first-aid training kicked in and my first response was
to call 9-1-1 and get an ambulance out here pulling out my cell phone
the most cliché thing happened there was no fucking service obviously
there's no fucking cell service I thought to myself I'm out in the
boonies at this point I completely forgotten about the delivery em was
pretty intent on helping whoever fucked up out here in the boonies the
chance of another car coming by all the way out here this late was slim
to none so this was on me I managed to figure out a couple of things
firstly the person obviously hit something really really big like a
moose or a large bear the front of his car was almost entirely caved in
and both his front wheels were going in opposite directions no way this
thing was going anywhere drawing on past experience I actually couldn't
think of any animal that would do that much damage to a car like that
secondly after seeing a small trail of blood leading up the road I
assumed he probably went walking for help this was where I made my
first mistake I followed the trail of blood on foot wanting to play the
hero I bundled up and set out into the storm with a small LED
flashlight I was concerned with whoever had injured themselves in this
accident and getting to them safely after about five minutes of walking
I realized that I had bucked up majorly as a singular thought went
through my mind what if whatever the driver hit is still out here
judging by how big the impact on the car was I can only assume that it
was a grizzly bear or something unknown much larger dealing with a
wounded animal in the middle of winter was something my paygrade didn't
cover after my moment of clarity I decided my best bet was to get back
in my car and get back to cell service to call 9-1-1 not even after I
had taken ten steps back towards my car I heard what sounded like an
entire tree being torn from the ground the noise was absolutely
deafening and threw me into a wild panic I started sprinting back to my
car but kept getting slowed down by the fact that my legs wouldn't
coordinate with each other after sprinting about five steps I ate shit
hard I tripped face-first into a snowbank and just laid there just as I
was about to get up again I heard it I heard what sounded like heavy
breathing coming from just out of my visual range the noise was coming
from where the accident happened and where my car was at this point
something felt terribly wrong that labored breathing sounded more

4. Jack Garner
animal than human and was far too loud for any human to make after what
felt like an eternity and the breathing got louder until suddenly I saw
whatever was making that terrible noise it had to be standing a minimum
of eight feet tall yeah it was fucking standing it was running on two
feet but every couple of steps it would stumble and start running like
a bear on four legs it had sort of a looping gait but then it would get
back up on two feet and start running like a human it was almost
entirely covered in thick white fur and would have been almost
impossible to spot had it not being covered in blood whether or not
that was its blood or the driver of the car I never stuck around to
find out whatever that thing was it was too distracted to see me and
sprinted right past me down the middle of the road still breathing as
heavy as ever after what I thought was a solid ten minutes I forced
myself out of the snowbank and sprinted back to my car when I got back
to the vehicle all four of my doors were wide open and the pizza boxes
were strewn all over the road not even thinking about the pizza or the
delivery I drove straight to the police station to report what happened
officially the police report states that the driver of the car collided
with a large bear and that the bear dragged him off into the woods sin
devoured him they never found his body but did find what appeared to be
a portion of his spine almost 80 kilometers from where the accident
happened it was a really big thing in our town people spent weeks
searching for him whatever that thing was that the driver hit it's
still out there if you guys enjoyed this I could probably get together
with some of the other drivers and get some stories out of them over a
few brews if not I have a few other really fucked up stories to share
with you guys if you want either
way tip your delivery drivers
