What to Do When You See a Suspicious Stranger

- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2024
- Say you’re walking home after having dinner with friends. It’s dark, but you don’t live too far away from the restaurant. Soon, though, you get that creepy feeling that someone is watching you. You see a dark figure walking toward you from an alley. What should you do?
First of all, stay calm. It’ll be hard, but don’t let the stranger know that you’ve caught on to them or that you’re nervous. Second of all, stay aware of the stranger and your surroundings but do something that will let you collect your thoughts. And, of course, guys you should definitely know when and how to use your phone!

SUMMARY:
- If you can get a good look at the stranger, get enough details that you can commit to memory in case you have to give someone, or the police, a description later.
- Even if your nerves overcome you and you take a couple of wrong turns, try not to look lost.
- If you’re texting, your head is down, and you may not even see a suspicious stranger that’s there in the first place.
- It would be tempting, but if you keep glancing behind you, it will let the stranger know that you’re onto them, and this may cause them to attack.
- If the stranger decides to come at you, you’ll need to defend yourself. One option is to hold your keys in your pocket with the end of one key’s “teeth” sticking out between your middle and ring finger.
- If you’re walking home and know you’re being followed by a shady character, take out your phone and call a friend or family member.
- Get to a coffee shop, restaurant, or a store as soon as you can. If it’s late at night, don’t worry-there are some grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations that are open 24 hours a day.
- If you feel like the same shady stranger is making a, um, habit of following you, try taking alternate routes to and from places. This goes for driving and if you’re on foot.
- If the stranger is just too close for comfort, or especially if you’re being repeatedly followed like I mentioned earlier, call whatever the emergency number is where you live.
- If you’re walking home, try to take the most public, well-lit route that you can.
- If you’re driving, park under a street light or the most well-lit part of the parking lot.
- Even if home, or the next destination, is a short distance away, don’t make the walk by yourself. Ask a friend, or group of friends, to walk with you, especially after dark.
- If a stranger stops you on the street and asks for directions, money, or wants to sell you something, be wary. Keep a good distance between the two of you.
- Especially after dark, you don’t want to be standing at your car door fumbling for your keys. This could make you an easy target.
- A good pop to the throat or solar plexus-that place right under the center of the rib cage-will knock the wind out of someone. The nose and eyes are the most sensitive parts of the face.

When i was 17 ( last year) me and my two buddies were walking through a forest park during the night and we noticed a tall man in his late 40s dressed in all black clothes following us. I told my friends to slow down and so we could confirm that he was on our tracks. A few seconds later i felt a hand grabbing my shoulder and i instantly just turned around and knocked him out. I was shaking like crazy. Im grateful that i wasn't alone that day even though i didn't need my friends but you never know when things can take a turn for the worst.
Im glad your ok

Why does he need an ambulance
I was looking for this comment lol😂

I saw it🕵🏼♀️
Maybe a timestamp would be helpful?
You forgot the dis on dislike
Shadow User096 it’s at 1:20 when I first saw it.
What about all the other random stuff also in the background?
8. "Get to a public place." "Get to a...restaurant."
-- But wait: Weren't you just at one?
Or u live in the country side
It was just a scenario
Oops true but what if the stranger was at the restorant you were at so go to another restaurant bro.
Ok but true.
Because that's not something that Bright Side specified, @@MRSYEAST-xi2np, "sis," so it sounded silly.
What about it, @Jåķòb Máťťeő Ğūévářřå?

“Don’t use your phone” literally two seconds later: “call a family member “ 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
So true
Do you know what the word literally means because that was 2 minutes
I liked then unliked I like the comment but wanted the number to stay on 69
Andrei because you are looking up when you call lol

I know this is an old video but If you need a description of someone, try to look at their shoes if you can! If they know you’ve seen them or that they’re being sought after by police, they’re likely to take of jackets hats and sunglasses, but people don’t typically think about ditching their shoes. Might not be the absolute biggest help, but it’s the most likely thing they’ll keep on them and if they’re still wandering the area looking for victims, or followed you into a gas station and took off their jacket etc., you’ll notice the shoes and know to avoid them
I really love the style of this video. Something about the eerie sound effects, abstract art style and generally unsettling subject matter keeps me coming back.
*Brightside:* "you'll be and feel safer once with other people"
**shows a vampire**
a zombie too
😂
What about demon Rodan.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂you made my day
😑
6:35
Make an eye contact and smile wickedly.
Tell him "I see you....."
If someone is following you go into a shop and haggle around, a mall is the best option since it is large. if the person is still following you or is making contact go to a cashier and they will discreetly call security to observe the person. Because if you go immediately to an officer the person will drift out of sight but come and follow you again when you are alone
When he said "thank u I already have one" I laugh
The animation is more terrifying than an actual stranger 😂
fr tho, I feel scared.
Omg ikr. Worse than scary movies! was getting scared asf lol
Mhm 👀
Facts
Yup
I would just say, “I know you’re there!” I do it a lot when there is nobody there:/

May I suggest to ask help from Optimus Prime and Bumblebee too? I guess that is one best solution since they must be standing just across another street block 1:30 to 1:32 LOL
@Bright Side, thank you very much. This information is extremely helpful for kids, who are dangerously unaware of their surroundings, by being transfixed in their phones as well.

Every day I learnt something new and relevant with the help of this channel.
Thanks 👍
This actually scared me 😣
“Don’t call or text” 2 minuets later:call you family members
I was also thinking about it
I was thinking about it 😂
No, don’t call or text while Walking. You need to be totally aware of your surroundings. Call a family member or the police once you get to a public place, typically a store or crowded street with many other people.
lol yeah
lol
Stranger: Hey man! Buy an elephant.
Guy: 👀no thanks I already have one.
Thx bright light this helped me so much you give the best advice
I love that you make the cartoony looking so I don’t freak out
"If you get that feeling someone's watching you, get to a hospital immediately"
Lol
@Eoghan Hayden corona~ baby~
Well it is a safe place that's open 24 hours, in some countries few shops are open at night.

Its the scariest part of the video

Public place or a planet with monsters 😂
Thank you for making videos that we can learn from!!! :)
If someone ever says I'm mugging you, I'm gonna tell them "No I'm mugging you"
That reminds me of asdf
Same
Keep a mug in your pocket and when they get close, mug to their face!
Reminds me of that spider man meme 😂
Nobody
The stranger: hey man, buy a elephant.
Literally no body:
"Thank you, i already have!"
This animation is scary, when it's dark and I'm outside I always go on "calls" and then I write 91 and if someone seems to be watching me I'll just fast add another 1 and call the police lol. Now this makes me call the police immediately
Armyyyyyy
armyyy
Hii army 💜💜
thank you so much for giving this ideas its very useful
When I get scared or feel like someone’s following me I pretend call and be happy actually I’m crying inside
Heres a tip/song

Stranger: "hey man buy an elephant"
Eilish Collins brand deal dude buy an elephant for $2.99
The other guy: No, thanks, I already have!
How can someone have an elephant as a pet,it doesn't make sense :/
Thank you I already got one
It's just an example
Everybody this channel is perfect and make sure you listen to it stay on the bright side🤗
I would NEVER want to make eye contact with a stranger
My way of staying out of trouble is to:
Not leave the house like it’s not that hard and be antisocial
Be like me basically
Lol
ᑕᒪOᑌᗪY_ᗪᖇEᗩᗰᔕ 1610 antisocial doesn’t mean you don’t socialize with people. Seriously look it up. It means one believes the laws and norms that society follows don’t apply to them and therefore they break laws and end up in prison. You are an introvert, one of the best kinds there is
ItzJade you dont have school at night xd
@@spamtan5227 I have to go out at night because I do military school and you literally get up at 3 AM and start exercising 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Staying at home still could be dangerous
Guy: Hey buy an elephant the size of a two storey building
Man: thanks but, I have one.
Do you mean you are one
Jk just kidding
thanks your tips actually saved me
This video is very helpful thank you
What to do when you see a suspicious stranger:
Just stay at home and don’t go out.
Easy.
I wish I could say that too 😥😥😥
Wrong they may be trying to find your address
wait how did he see him if he was at home?
Okay yeah but this is WHEN your outside
oOh ke bai
eventually you can look at your phone, act suprised and run to a nearest public place like you're late for a meeting with friends
Biggest question of my life: Why does my friends move backwards when I stare at them? I always wanted to ask them.
Me: walking but lost in my thoughts
Stranger: why is he staring at me
I knowwww and then when I get home starts looking at the window wondering if he still there and then telling my mom me my mom getting ready to get the knife
If ur in a parking garage feel like your being watched: scream like a phyco and run to your car. Trust me, it works
😂
Ight
You give great survival tips 👍🏽
I think I will never go alone at night after watching this video
1:19 I see iron Man like if you noticed that
(You don't have to like if you don't want to)
I am just liking bc u said I don’t have to but I did see him
I like even tho I don’t see it
Bumblebee and airplane too
I saw a wendigo
Leah Karina I was like hiiiiiii ..... oh bye now
Just a side note for anyone, if the stranger routinely follows you more than three times, that would be enough to call the police. Don't wait any longer if you feel unsafe, or repeatedly followed.
Not bad but be careful bc the stranger will chase u and when (s)he can run faster than u u will be in trouble
Stranger: Walks towards me
Me: Oh so you approaching me?
army
Thx for the tips
Only OG kids remember Stranger Danger

I was walking home once and there was this guy behind me and I stared acting like a complete crackhead and after following me for 10 mins he walked away 😅😂😂
If you stay calm ur 💀
This video is awesome 👌 👏 and all the video you showed us thanks
I'd recommend pretending to say that you're about to arrive somewhere so they know that theres going to be people and they'd have less interest
Me: Sees a suspicious Person dressed all in a character that looks like Penny-wise
Me: Screams and Runs Away
Also Me: Realised it was Halloween Night.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's Halloween today in nz
Lol!

i usually dont fight at all because i feel bored but i have so much fighting power that i can unleash on the stranger
Thanks for telling
Bright side: dont look at your phone
Also Bright Side : call your friend
Lol reappy non sense
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
They mean use your phone in an intelligent way not watch it without purpose. My opinion.
Walk with a friend or two. Eventually someone is left alone.
true lol
honestly even if someone wasn’t behind me i’d still feel scared
like even when i’m going to the kitchen to get water i’d feel like someone’s behind me HAHAHAHA
Ha!
Same lol but it's just paranoia. Take a few deep breaths.
Same
That used to be me but i just learned that my life aint a scary movie
Me too
Someone just texted me “Are you single”
This is very very true I love BRIGHT SIDE because it helps you with life and others
The stranger was also walking back to his house after having dinner with friends
Me: See’s someone that I don’t know
*calls 911*
Me: Help someone’s kidnapping me!
Perfect!😂
LOL
thanks for the tip it really helps
I think it's always important to think ahead whenever we go out of the house. I go for walks in a fairly safe area at night, but I still stay in well lit areas with lots of people. I also make it a point to drive only during the day whenever possible so I can reach my destination or at least a motel before nightfall. Even when I take all necessary precautions I still always try to be alert to my surroundings.
*don't walk home alone*
Me: *walks alone because my friends don't wanna walk with me*
Also I don't know self defense yeet
And punch to the stomach
Just kick the testies
Get perfume to spray their eyes
@@antx- I always bring some spray with me when I go out and about but I don't go out at night
