My roommate and I had one rule in our dorm: Always lock the door. One night, I came back from studying around 1 AM. I was tired and didn’t think twice about it. I opened the door. My roommate was asleep. Everything looked normal. Until I noticed our door was unlocked. ⸻ I asked my roommate if he’d forgotten to lock it. He said: “I haven’t been back all night.” I laughed. “Then how did I get in?” He looked confused. Then asked: “What do you mean?” I pointed toward the door. He stared at it. Then quietly said: “I locked that before I left.” ⸻ We checked the room. Nothing was missing. Everything was exactly where we’d left it. Then my roommate noticed something on his desk. A piece of paper. It said: “THANKS FOR LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN.” We didn’t recognize the handwriting. I immediately checked the hallway. Empty. I locked the door. Then we heard footsteps outside. Someone walked past our room. Stopped. Then continued. ⸻ A few seconds later… Our door handle moved. Slowly. Someone tried to open it. The door was locked. They tried again. Then stopped. My roommate whispered: “Don’t say anything.” We waited. Nothing. Then his phone buzzed. He looked at the screen. It was a notification from our dorm’s security app: DOOR UNLOCKED — ROOM 317 He looked at our door. It was still locked. Then another notification appeared: DOOR OPENED — ROOM 317 We heard our door click. ⸻ The handle started turning. I grabbed my phone to call campus security. Then I noticed something strange. The hallway camera notification showed: MOTION DETECTED — ROOM 317 I opened it. The camera showed our hallway. Our door was closed. But there was someone standing inside our room. We could see them through the camera. They were standing behind us. My roommate slowly turned around. Nothing. Then the person on the camera raised their hand… and pointed toward the closet. The closet door slowly opened. And someone whispered: “You weren’t supposed to come back tonight.” #fyp #viral #scary #scarytiktoks #scarystories - @midnight_nightmare_files
