I went bowling with three friends a few weeks ago. It was around 11:30 at night, and the place was almost completely empty. We were on lane 12. After our second game, my friend Tyler went to get drinks, while the rest of us stayed at the lane. A few minutes later, we heard a bowling ball roll down the lane next to us. Lane 13. We looked over. Nobody was there. The ball hit the pins anyway. All ten fell. We laughed it off and figured someone had accidentally left a ball in the return. Then the scoreboard on lane 13 changed. It showed a player’s name: TYLER We thought it was weird, but assumed it was some glitch. Then Tyler came back from the vending machines. He looked at the screen and immediately stopped. He asked, “Why is my name on lane 13?” Before we could answer, the scoreboard changed again. It displayed: FRAME 7 — TYLER’S TURN Tyler hadn’t even played on that lane. Then we heard another bowling ball roll. This time, it stopped halfway down the lane. We watched it slowly move toward the pins. But before it reached them, every light above lane 13 shut off. A voice came through the speakers. “Please return to your assigned lane.” We all froze. Because Tyler was standing right next to us. Then his phone buzzed. He looked at it. It was a text from an unknown number. “You’re sitting in my spot.” Tyler looked toward lane 13. There was now someone sitting in the chairs. A person wearing a black hoodie. Just sitting there. Watching us. We ran to the front desk. The employee looked confused when we told him what happened. Then he checked the security cameras. His face changed. He turned the monitor toward us. The camera showed lanes 12 and 13. We could see ourselves sitting at lane 12. But there was something wrong. There were five people sitting there. Not four. The fifth person was sitting directly behind Tyler. And on the screen… Tyler wasn’t looking at the bowling lane. He was looking directly at the camera. Then the employee whispered: “Guys… that’s not Tyler.” #fyp #viral #scary #scarystories #scarytiktoks - @midnight_nightmare_files
