This was a different time.

@hillhjill Told, but yes. I am sure my mom pushed it from her mind. I don't know how old she was. I assume around the age of 15 - 17. Some of the story I filled in. My aunt and mom really did share a car, and I know my mom walked to work. I could only assume that one or the other would sometimes have to walk.

Yes. My mom never talked about it. She either forgot about it or didn't want to talk about it one. I can't say as I blame her. I don't even remember why my grandmother told me about it. I would occasional get these types of stories from her, just out of the blue.

@ScribbledAdNauseum your mom probably pushed it out of her mind, that's something very scary to keep with you, but it's cool that your grandma tells you those kinda stories.

I don't know all of the particulars. My grandmother told me this and she could have been lying, exaggerating or not telling me all of the information. I think once she started running the person (if they were a bf, or a friend) would have let her know it was just them.

@JustBhem I can understand that. I was home alone not too long ago and I heard something that sounded like it crashed. I looked around the entire house and found nothing. I went to the bathroom later, a tall lamp fell into the bookshelf. That's what I had heard.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It could be. I'm always curious to the extent it will make me frightened. Like whenever I heard someone walking around our house, I check it and see if I know the person.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Yes, I kind of found the ending leaving me hanging. I kind of thought she would turn around and find it was a friend. It's quite possible you don't have the full story,.

@patgalca I don't know, I can only hope that it was a friend. I don't see why my grandmother would tell me this story. I can't even remember why she did, but it was only a few years ago that she told me. It was sort of an out of the blue thing. I could ask other family members but I also know that my grandmother used to hide a lot of things like this from her husband. My aunt might not remember either.I don't want to ask her in case it actually happened to her and not my mom.

Which is why I assume she either forgot or it didn't happen. I mean, I don't want to not believe my grandmother... I do know my mom used to walk to and from work and so it's very plausible that it happened. It might be that I don't know the full story.

As Am I. I can not imagine how terrified she was.

@ScribbledAdNauseum To hear someone whistling and then touch from behind. Yikes!

Thank You. My mama was a tough cookie though, and I can just imagine how loud she screamed. Memories of her calling my name when I was across the neighborhood come to mind.

@ScribbledAdNauseum So glad you can remember her like that Amber.

I am sure it was terrifying for my mom. I think she had to be around 15-17 at the time. My grandmother told me about this several years ago and she didn't elaborate much on it. All she said was that a man nearly grabbed my mom when my mom was walking home from work.

@ScribbledAdNauseum oh, God, that's terrible. Thank God that her house was close.

@Nevena83 Yes it is. I am glad that she was able to get home safe.

Yes, I can't imagine how she must have felt. I think I would have refused to ever walk to work again.

I've always heard stories like this, I just never believed it would happen to someone so close to me.

I don't think so. My grandmother was the one that told me about this, my mom never did. My mom had been deceased for several years before my grandmother told me. I would assume that had it been a friend, the friend would have called out to her one she started running, or else called her later.
