The scariest thing is when you have your volume on a little bit while your parent walks by, and while trying to turn down the volume, you accidentally turn it all the way up!

@7F5 or you get a surprise earrape video and it blasts loud asf on minimum volume

Or your phone is left at high volume from earlier and you load up a youtube video for it to blare out

I never had portable tech to fiddle with when I was living with my parents.

Even worse depending on the kind of video you were watching

something similar happened to me on a school field trip in berlin, we were in a small group and having fun so i jokingly played "red sun in the sky" (shit slaps) and when i wanted to mute my phine it went all the way to full volume and i couldnt silence it for a full 20 or so seconds because i was paniking, i mustve messed up but i swear i didnt misclick

Better way is don't turn off volume, just turn off phone

Better way is don't turn off volume, just turn off phone

fr, or when you accidentally start playing any sound and realize it's all the way up💀

I did this and I was on a call with discord friends that my parents didn’t know about

And then if you say screw it and try to turn off the screen with the power button, you either press the volume up on accident, or the screen turns off but the volume take 5 seconds

THIS. Every night before I went to bed a would practice the manoeuvres to speedily turn down my volume to avoid mess-ups

Omg I remember once at night taking my iPad in the bed.
So when I took it I decided to play Rec Room.

And because of my stupiness I actually turned on my mic (microphone)
And I had my volume a lil up.
I also was hearing some lil noises so I was so scared that I turned off my iPad.

That was so close for my parents to come in-

I remember doing this and I was absolutely terrified for my life.

@aa_g_k_s_oa_g_k_s_o_d_i_g_kv_s_k_g_lv_dirjowowjdkk the same thing

Oh my god once I accidentally had my iPads case on incorrectly (I had taken it off for something and when putting it back on I accidentally put it back on incorrectly) and so it was turning up the volume when I didn't want it to because the case was holding down the volume button. I couldn't turn it down because the case was continually turning it up so I tried to pause my music and IT DIDNT WORK FOR SOME REASON.<br>I was freaking out because my dad always stays up late and watches TV and so I was PANICKING that he was going to hear it but luckily he didn't (I'm assuming he had headphones on)

And isn't it amazing how quickly you find the CORRECT side of the volume button IMMEDIATELY? Must be something like 0.03 seconds😆😆😆

Bro, I would feel my soul leave my body everytime. Especially when they stop walking and stand by your door to listen.

THIS HAPPENED TO MEH ONCE & I SWEAR IT FELT LIKE MY HEART'S GONNA BEAT OUT OF MY CHEST-💀

JIMIN DON'T WORRY IM GOING TO FIND UR JAMS~

Idk, I usually turn off my phone so it won't sound, (or I wear headphones) unless I'm listening to music in spotify, it always works.

I mean.. I have small flat so I'm in room WITH my mum. Imagine, it's like 3am, I'm watching something, then something is really loud and I want to turn it down, but you accidentally press the button in the wrong place. Really, check your volume buttons......

I did that once I can’t make anymore mistakes we must fight the urge to sleep or die trying to play Minecraft at 3AM

THIS HAPPENED ON THE 3DS AND IT WAS TERRIFYING

It's not scary, it's painful. I had acute cases of tinnitus for having an itchy trigger finger on the volume button. Just fall asleep, it's that easy and for whatever you were doing before. You'll have plenty of time for it tomorrow.

Yeah, but would be worse if you were watching unholy videos at the same time...

OH MY FUCKING lame sheep fucking a super saiyan HAVE SO MUCH TRAUMA BY THIS SHIT


Enjoying myself suddenly become a worst thing I've ever done when you give me this PTSD.


There is something about this video, that gives me chills. Maybe the music, maybe the nostalgic vibes it give me of when I used to play 2d but dark games like LIMBO or Little nightmares.
I just don't want the audio to stop or the video either.
.

I think this song might be from the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack! Beautiful music ❤


One time, I was playing games as usual and was sure to check for any footsteps. I got caught before and learned a lot from those experiences, but this one particular day I heard the footsteps of my grandma and decided that its time to pretend sleeping. Instantly after that, Dad comes in. Turns out my dad wore grandma’s slippers. Sometimes its really sketchy, but if you decide that its time to sleep, go sleep.


Great video lol. I had the top bunk, and I was a sketchy little fucker with this. Though they never did, I always thought my parents would pretend to leave and close the door to see if I started playing again. I'd stay pretending to sleep for a good 3 minutes each time before peering over to look


I never had to deal with this because my parents probably thought I would get tired eventually but nope, I stayed up alllll night watching YouTube and playing games. I literally would get no sleep for 3 nights straight and now I can’t even feel alive without get at least 8 hours like ugh


Looks like a lot of people are misinterpreting this. I think this kid’s trying to play games past their bedtime and someone comes to check on them. Right before they open the door the kid stops and pretends to sleep. The fear is of getting caught and possibly punished.

This may very well be wrong so if it is just tell me.

Oooooh, I thought it was about when you're on your phone at night, then decide to sleep, but then you hear a noise and get scared, but don't wanna check it so you go back on your phone

I misunderstood the vid lol till u xplain hmm 🌚

I misunderstood the vid lol till u xplain hmm 🌚

I felt like it was on the news where a child got kidnapped from his or her room at night

Taste like china had a baby and named it America

I also thought like this and when i saw the comments i was so confused n strted doubting myself but i think ours one is right interpretation bcus i didn't understood the other comments wht r they talking abt?

Got it right! This happens to me so often like, 15 years ago. I still feel the same fear today...from my wife 😂

bro i thought it was something way more serious like with the topics of abuse or murder

If you're "afraid" of your parents then they're probably abusive. 🤷

this is how i thought of it when i first saw it too i thought it was pretty obvious

yeah i always play games with my eyes closed too.

I took it as both of those and also I have sleep proalisis so I all took it as hiding from the demons that run around my house trying to kill me💀

Ugh. My childhood right here. My mom had a habit of waltzing into my room when I’m sleeping to put my laundry back in my closet. I was never allowed to lock my door cause she was one of those parents that didn’t believe in privacy.

This comment resonates, I use to be extra smart bc the punishments be too cruel

I'm on the younger side, not too young but young enough to be loving with my parents. This happened to me last week

It gives me goosebumps after hearing my dad opening the door and checking on us

I thought this was about some sort of creepypasta going around the 2000s

My fear when I get caught is my mom takes away my phone and doesn't give it until a week 😭😭😭

Oh yes I actually used to do this with my old psp God I miss those days

@Bionic Skull how does that have to do with anything of being a girl? tf

@mbcool yeah cause the creeks TURNED the lights off.

@mbcool yeah cause the creeks TURNED the lights off.

Yo I was wondering if it was parents having argument and that was the horror, thank God it was just about worried getting caught gaming after bedtime lol

Punishment for staying up to listen to music or playing games. I really hope other generations learn better and aren't as psychotic as other generations.

Now I get it

But for me it's more scarier since I sleep in the same room as my parents :")

This was me blasting music through my earbuds EARLY this morning, but thanks to my cat, I didn’t get away with it. 😬😅

I got my ass whooped if I played overtime but I never got this scared a few whoops as hard as they were.

Maybe it's because I was a girl my parents didn't give a shit if I was playing video games at night. Snuck a lot of hours in.

I dont have a story with staying up late playing and getting caught cause for the majority of my life i shared a room with my parents, but i can confirm that the feeling of being on your phone when you are supposed to be studying, pausing the video trying to listen to footsteps coming closer, or when they check on you and close the door, you listen for them to go away, i still got caught countless times and continued doing the same, good times.


I used to sleep with a sound machine, and it was the scariest thing. I would think that I would hear doors opening, footsteps, but I wasn’t quite sure because there was this constant white noise.


i remember one week me and my family stayed in a old cabin built probably late 80s early 90s and theres this door that was up on the wall in my room and like it was just there on the top of the wall for no reason and one night i swear it opened maybe i was just really really high for no reason but i saw it open and man i closed my eyes so so tight and eventually after a few hours of laying still sweating like crazy it was day light and i flipped off the door and i just sat on the couch for a few hours until someone woke up :D


I know that feeling all to well. I was afraid of the dark, and still am. I was on my phone at around 5am or so back in 2017, and the feeling of footsteps coming closer and opening the door freaks me out, still to this day.


Bruh I remember hearing stuff outside my door and it didn’t sound like my parents voices. It sounded like two dudes talking quietly. I remember just laying there, the most scared I had ever been. I didn’t want to get kidnapped or something. I just laid there and it felt like an eternity. It felt like I was paralyzed. I eventually fell asleep somehow and told my parents the next day. They told me that it was just a dream.


How to pretend you are sleeping:
- Listen to footsteps.
- Lower the volume.
- Rub your eyes to make it look like you were sleeping the whole time.
- Have a small space to hide the device.
- Study movement, if you study for about month, you know when to hide the device or not.
- Give a good lie, if you get caught, make a good lie.
 - If you have headphones/earbuds, use one only to hear the footsteps, using both will make hiding harder.
- Use small devices, such as a phone, switch, ect. If you are using a large device, such as a PC, console, I suggest to pretend you were studying and fell asleep during said studying, or have a reclining chair.
- I would suggest using a book to hide your small device, such as your phone, you can hide it with a book.
- Lower the brightness if you don’t have a book to hide the small device with.
- If you are caught with your device, and the lies won’t work, just give in, I did that and I had a short punishment time when that happened, don’t give in: you’re basically dead.
- I suggest using (if you have) wireless bluetooth earbuds, they’re small and easy to hide, but easy to loose. If you don’t have wireless earbuds, you SHOULD, NOT NOW buy some.

@Justin Kiana Alfredo how to survive 2/20 mode in five nights at parents

My parents are unpredictable, but then I realized that somewhere in 9:30 - 10:00, my parents would check up on me, so I would do my tactics, there was a big percentage of my tactics that I made would work.

And open your mouth. You probably sleep with your mouth slightly open, and your parents know this.<br>Also, skip the lies. Just apologize. Unless you can use the homework lie.

And open your mouth. You probably sleep with your mouth slightly open, and your parents know this.
Also, skip the lies. Just apologize. Unless you can use the homework lie.

When using my ps4 I sign into my second account on both the console and the PS4 Remote play app on my phone (which allows you to play PS4 on your phone but connects your phone as a controller, forcing you to play with the touch pad or bluetoothing a controller to your phone adding more input delay).

So then when my phone's connected as player one on my alt account, I press the PS4 controller home button and sign into my main account allowing me to basically play like normal just with my phone as the screen

I’ve been staying up on my device for about over a year now, and I’ve learned this:

When my mother gets home from work later, and I’m supposed to be sleeping already, she goes to my room first.
My mother always goes to my room after showering.
If you hear a toilet flush, or loud footsteps, hide the device, it’s mother.
Father is usually unpredictable, be careful.

All I will say is experience to its finest XD

I do nearly all of it but I can just feel vibrations from noises instead of having to listen-but my brother sleeps in the bunk above me and sometimes shakes the bed, so I get scared and hide if he moves a little-only to realise it was just him

@Elise R nah man, parents would just take the ds away or ground us

I don't understand, do y'all get abused when you get caught?

The more we think about it - the more punishment/reward systems of raising children is just fucking psychotic. I'm so happy and relieved children's rights and RIE styles of parenting are gaining real attention!!!

@ryoba aishi Either give in, or find another way to pretend to sleep.

I can't rub my eyes often ..

doctors rules

And when pretending to sleep, remember to breathe heavily or lightly snore. Very rarely do people breathe inaudibly when sleeping

man i feel bad for lying so i end up always being honest and get caught

To make my parents feel guilty, I hide mi phone (I don't have a DS), pretend to woke up and say "mom? You waked me" and then I don't have to worry about being checked in like 3 days

wow i didn’t expect that to be that long. lmao sorry

Man i remember being so scared my mum would catch me using my ps4 in the night i had to use these tactics


I remember doing this and for some reason my mom would come in if she thought I was awake and she would literally SHAKE ME until I woke up and then tell me to go to sleep


The scariest thing I’ve been through is pretending to be sleeping when someone was breaking into the house<br>It felt similar to this but very terrifying. I thought I was going to die that night

@Mits@reminds me of one reddit story where a guy was laying on his couch then heard a scream far away, 10 mins later the screaming is louder and closer, his dog is alert and growling, another 10 mins and the screaming is right at his window, after that 5 police cars drive into his neighborhood looking for a escaped psych ward patient

@biggoodsteak john Sure!! It was in 2018 so I’m well over it. I lived in a log cabin in the middle of a field so it was pretty vulnerable to begin with. I heard rustling in the shed nextdoor, and my mother went to check it out. The next thing I hear is a high pitched scream and fast-paced footsteps on the wooden path. She then tells me to hide, and nothing else. The police took 30m-1hr to arrive and by then the person was gone.


Back in the days where you actually recognize the walking patterns and sound of each member of your family.


I remember doing this all the time, and one time I pulled an all nighter playing on my DS until morning when dad opened the door, saw me awake playing games, and after a split second of disappointment, he went "you know this might actually be a good thing" because apparently he was going to take me to the doctor for some kind of brain scan to find out if I had epilepsy (mom has it and because of my autism there was a very high chance I might get it also) and I apparently needed to be asleep for the scan to work


I do this a lot since im still a kiddo. I kid you not it is the most scary thing ever when you dont stop everything quick enough. I had my mom come in a few times and i felt like i was gonna die.


This shows of how kids can sense someone is coming. <br>Sometimes, we can just sense it even without the sound of footsteps or any noise, like it's natural part of our system.

Definitely, I got chased down by a car at night in my friends neighborhood when I was alone a couple months ago and literally had a gut feeling that I wasn’t safe, which was then followed by the car pulling up next to me and stopping. Terrifying shit

I was listening to wap when I was home alone and suddenly I quickly paused the music, 4 seconds later I hear the familiar engine of my mom’s motorbike. I cant explain how ,it just happened magically

Humans actually emit a certain amount of energy so whenever someone enters the same room, or even house your brain can sense the other energy to know if someone is there

I can’t sense anything though, unless someone says “BOO!” and makes me aware that they are near me 😔

Hola, soy un español y espero que puedan traducir esto, si pasa la verdad ya que más de una vez en mi infancia tuve esos sentimientos de que alguien se acercaba y luego de unos minutos venía mi abuelito o mi mamá. Y ahora que me doy cuenta mi perspectiva era básicamente como que todos mis pelos se elevaban sentía un pequeño picor en el cuerpo y luego venía la persona que sabía que iba a venir, y ya no es tan recurrente como antes pero ahora siento las personas cuando se mueven a lo lejos o se despiertan de un sueño

I used to have this till i was about 25. It slowly decreases from there.

Now at most accurate i can tell when someone is present on the other side of my window, when the food has arrived, when the neighbours are leaving home,

For me, the natural buzzing of the human ear (I think it's called tinitus or something like that). When it intensifies or gets louder, I already know that someone is coming, whether they may be sneaking or not. 👀 <b>Supahh powaah</b>

Brook I sense that so well I'll be on my phone at night and I'll feel like to put it out And as soon as I do my door opens and it's my mom making sure I'm asleep

As far as I know, sensing movement is often heightened when other senses are diminished; the limited light and sound reduces our senses of sight and hearing respectively: this gives rise to a heightened sense of touch.

I can know of my mom is awake or not by the sound of her breathing...

It is part of our human wiring, when the back of our brain detects eyes somewhere, it send signals to be alert (the feel i am being watch feeling), many other animals have it too. I would not be surprised if there was something regarfing our hearing too.

@k. lou Only if you are a healthy person with a good sleep schedule though, we aren't nocturnal lol

@Celestial I say that's because of our natural animalistic instincts. Nocturnals would pray around at night so animals are usually aware especially at night. Must be the same case scenario with us humans since our ancestors were practically hunters

I think that all humans can. It's a matter of how aware they are.

I think the reason is so much out of fear, we inherently heighten our senses. Cause for me I was so use to my room being next to my mom’s room I’d stash my ds in my shirt and do a Patrick Star pose. I ain’t going to get a whoopin because of Kirby.

@T y seems like paranoia natural instinct kicks in whenever we sense dangerous things, or someone at that point

@k. lou I think people just get more paranoid at night due to sleep deprivation.

I'd like to think that our senses at night are heightened and adding to that, we are also very cautious and aware of our surroundings lol

Our brains are wired that way. It can tell when something is near you or someone is looking at you 🙂

Yeah, feels like a superpower now that I think about it.

To be honest, I can relate to this.

I use mobile (tablet + phone) when I'm not suppose to, I can hear my parents coming to my room just by footsteps, and I rush to turn my devices off, hop on the bed, and pretend I'm watching TV.

I still do this today, and I got to admit, it is terrifying.

I remember I used to do this but sometimes I would be watching humorous videos and it took so much to not laugh and the scary part was when my mom thought she heard a noise and then I would hear footsteps in the hallway.


This is actually comforting and reminds me of simpler times, strict parents aren't necessarily bad parents trust me I was born in the 90s to parents that were everything wrong with parents back then, the family literally smoked around my mom while she was pregnant


My biggest problem is that I could never think of a good sleeping position, it always felt too obvious.<br>But the fear is real..

But the fear is real..


this is the most relatable thing ever, even if it isnt a ds. every child that owns a portable gaming device has experienced this.


Mario: "Bah bye!"

Me: "I've been tricked, backstabbed... and quite possibly, bamboozled."

A normal thing on the internet with a dog

Ahh, this brings me back lol.

Mario 64 ds edition.

I remember there was a rumor that princess peach was behind the giant stained glass wall at the castle entrance.
I spent hours upon hours there back jumping with Luigi, trying and failing to make it in.

Also, the legend of waluigi being in the game haha.

Damn, it’s been near a decade since I’ve thought of this.

I can’t believe Mario would bamboozle a normal thing on the internet, and one with a dog nonetheless!


I remember how scary it was to fake sleep. I actually got pretty good at it after a while and one time when my mom tried hiding in my room to see if I would get on my phone I fake slept for like 10 minutes till she left.


i still do this to this day (started since i was 7 a few years back) and it doesn’t feel as scary anymore unless it’s me video calling a friend or watching specific genres of videos like horror game reviews, and it feels genuinely terrible because i told her to not open my door since sometimes i’m quite literally half asleep and she wakes me up, but if i move she would say that i didn’t sleep and scold me for it. now i keep one ear out of the headphone so every time i hear a floorboard creak i know to hide everything


Strange how sometimes the most scariest experiences you have are actually from that place you call your home...


I remember that early in the morning at 6 AM when my parents used to be asleep I used to be on my laptop playing games. Every time I heard a movement from my parents room I quickly closed the laptop and pretended I was sleeping the whole time.


I remember when I was 5 years old I was wide awake in the middle of the night. Suddenly I saw this shadowy face peeking by my door and staring at me. Then suddenly it left. I thought it was just a nightmare, but years later I learned it was mom checking on me.


I remember my mom came into my room at the night when I was still awake after touching my phone, she faked close the door and quietly walk to the bedside and watched me for almost 10 minutes. I was so terrified even if I couldn't see her behind me or open my eyes, My heart was beating so fast and I could feel her stare. That was one of my terrifying experience ever since.

Y’all didn’t actually know the technique that i almost always use when i get in situations like that.
Whenever you feel your mom’s footsteps (they’re really quiet, unlike others) then you hide your phone, anywhere works as long as it’s not visible. You have 3 seconds to act. I would usually open the zip of my plush bc it has a zip for you to stuff the stuffings or whvr. Then when the time comes i would just shove the phone inside the plush, no need to zip it up. Just turn the thing around or i can zip it if i want for extra protection. Or u can just hide it under the pillow. Then get out of bed and walk outside towards the restroom and pretend like you’e using it by staying in for 2-3 min. Mom’ll be gone by then (probably) But always do this ONCE a WEEK not DAILY bc you’ll seem suspicious.

Am I the only one whose parent wasn’t checking their room at night to see if they were sleeping as a kid? And even if I did stay up it wasn’t this huge deal or anything lol.

I swear you people are afraid of everything

@Anna L she fell to that 1000 feet tall mountain

I had the same experience and then the next time it happened, I froze for 15 minutes hardly breathing, only to eventually realize she had left immediately after entering that time

@keroppi♥ that ain't nostalgia mate, that's horror.

I literally also got caught by mom and hust felt like breath stuck in it's way and hands automatically stopped moving worst experience ever 😪

And then you realize that your parents went out for the night and your home alone

i remember my mother trying to find my laptop after i had been using it after bed time, she leaned over my bed and checked under my pillow while i was sleeping to see where it was, she never found it though because it was hidden under a massive plush toy i had on my bed, i was fully awake and tried my best to pretend to be a asleep although it was terrifying

@irobot 2000 that be looking into the sun right there, Pure A  G  O  N  Y

Yeah I've become a master fake sleeper because of situations like this

I can't imagine the hell it would be trying not to smile

@: D Yeah.. parents like that, they don't teach you to be a better person, or to not do that.. they just teach you how to get away with it

@Anna L doubt it was actually ten minutes, but it likely felt like it.

the trick to not getting caught is not only listening for ur door closing but also their door afterward

This exact thing happened to me except she was there for 1 minute

Bruh that’s terrifying for 10straight mins

@: D My mom literally will check under my body

@irobot 2000 GOD THIS IS SCARIER THAN A SLEEP PARALYSIS DEMON

Lmao your mom though. She’s on another level pretending to leave but staying in your room for good ten minutes

wtf 💀 i would never done it ever again if my mom was that scary

I hide my phone under my body and my mom climbed on the bed to check if I was awake and where my phone was but she couldn’t find it, it scared the hell out of me and taught me a lesson of be much more careful

Your mom is a woman of Focus, Commitment and Sheer Effing Will

If that happened to me I'll scream intruder and hit her, and be like mom?! Wtf are u doing?

@irobot 2000 even more terrifying if you're actually alone in the house

10 minutes!?? Damn your mom has determination

I've experienced all of it got wholesome beating too

Na it be the phone screen so bright you don't see the set of eyes untill the darkness focus comes in💀💀


The scariest part is when my mom faked closing the door and just stares for a little while for the first time, though it really felt like forever. I couldnt confirm if it was really my mom as i just peeked with the slightiest of my peripheral vision. So i tried asking her in the morning if it was indeed her, but she denies it saying she was asleep.


It’s the worst when you get tricked by paranoia footsteps so much that you forget to hide it when they come for real.


This is so accurate! You can literally hear the your own heartbeat as you waited for them to open the door.


I turn into a detective at night when my parents took my phone, like I'll go to their bedroom like James bond and this boss music played in my brain felt soooo accomplished once I got back to my room....😂


This happens to me but the thing is I don’t yet have my own room so I sleep with them, so I have to make sure the video is silent enough, pay attention to snorts, pretend to sleep when they move in sleep, listen if they’re taking their phone out, etc.<br>hardcore mode.

(Reply because edit isn’t working for some reason lol)<br>I’ve slept in a different room once and did the same thing, and I can confirm that doing it in another room is so much less scary.

I still remember the last time my dad thought I was sleeping, came into my room, kissed me and whispered I love you.<br>It's been probably over 12 years since he did that and I don't think I can replicate the combination of adoration and terror I was feeling at that moment with my DSi under my pillow.

@T y jokes good but not for this comment so leave pls

@T y God fucking dammit. Way to ruin a good thing!

@T y it's not creepy just necessary to ask I mean I'd ask too...

This is supposed to be a sweet memory, till that fire nation guy came with "pants on" thing

@T y looks like someone need to stop watching p	***hub and hen Thai

He knew you were pretending to sleep lol

@T y You really do think you're funny don't you

@SuccMunkey Its funny how you did the same. <br>I guess we're both in the same lane bud

@SuccMunkey Its funny how you did the same.
I guess we're both in the same lane bud

@SuccMunkey its funny how youdi did the same.. I guess we're both in the same lane bud

You absolutely should tell him about this! As a dad, I can guarantee he will both laugh at and be delighted by this memory. Also, the fact that you remember it to this day will show him how much it meant to you (despite almost getting caught with the DSi in bed lol)

You should discuss that moment with him. He will feel happy that you still remember it.<br>That would be adorable.

💜ᵔᴥᵔ Bᴏʀᴀʜᴀᴇ ᵔᴥᵔ💜

@T y I like how everyone's triggered at you, but if the first comment that replied to you praised you for the joke, the rest would follow.

It's crazy how so many people can get so mad at a guy they can just as easily ignore. This is truly a YouTube moment

Aww that's nice. I have similar memory back when I was 5 also ten years ago. My dad always made sure to be present unlike his own father but work gets in the way. One day, it was pretty early, I felt someone kissing my forehead and putting a little teddy bear between my arms. I woke up, still very much sleepy but that memory is stuck with me forever. Unless I get dementia or something lol

@T y you're good man, that was a nice one 👍🏼

I remember when my mom did this and it's still one of the most heartwarming yet horrifying experiences I've ever been through.

@T yNAH HE WAS PROBABLY IN A DIFFERENT MOOD

I have been in the same situation when I small!! It so funny to think about it again I'm so nervous getting scolded 🤣🤣

@T y you ruined the wholesomeness of the comment

If you didn't already you should probably tell him you remember that moment, it's kinda funny at the least to imagine you being scared of him finding out the DS, but then in reality it gets adorable, he would likely appreciate that you remember the small acts of love he did as a parent

If he knew you were awake then he gets the 'best dad ever' award in my opinion.

Aw that’s so sweet<br>I had a similar thing happen to me

Aw that’s so sweet
I had a similar thing happen to me

@T y im basically wearing skirt 🗿 you are

@[S4WOMAT3NG! I’m ruining it? You’re the one without pants on!

@T y dude can we not make this wholesome shit ruined ?


I was clenched and waiting for a jumpscare, but was pleasantly surprised with wholesome memories❤


What's one thing that siblings have experienced that only children won't understand: <br>When you share a room with your sibling so you go under the covers, make brightness to the lowest setting, and only put the headphones on one ear. Any sign of movement and you would turn everything off. But when your sibling does notice, bargain on your life that they won't tell mom.

@Justin Kiana Alfredo and then NEITHER of you get caught in that scenario and you have somebody to vouch for you when you do get caught

The other option is to become partners in crime


Very understandable. Absolutely terrifying.


the real horror was looking out your window and hearing noises but seeing nothing


Ah yes, the fear; <br>I even remember the times my mother was just about half a second away from catching me play, that I was too scared to go back to playing, lay in bed for a while and do nothing, eventually almost falling asleep, and just turning the game off. Good old times

BROOO I FRICKIN REMEMBER THAT!!! I'd just be playing super Mario bros on my DS and my grandma would come in every night to check on me. I didn't know about the sleep mode, so when I'd close my DS to fake sleep, Mario would just yell "Bye bye!" Grandma got me every time cause of that

@Counter It does it regardless of if the volume is on or not.

Well I’m from 2009 so I don’t know that kind of stuff except for staying late on my iPad and fake sleeping to avoid a beating

@Giorno is Best Jojo And the game I played needed volume. I only played bakugan and a football game at night. With the football game you had to listen to the calls.

@Coked-up cat Just play without volume 😕

@一新名2021 It was tough to turn the volume down in time. When you need to cover up with blankets, close the DS and hide it somewhere.

This happened to me but I was probably caught mostly because I slammed my DS down so hard to sounded like I fired a shotgun.

@Mr Incognito YT It happens in New Super Mario Bros too actually. Either way, they're screwed.

Although maybe it said "bye bye" because you didn't turn the volume all the way down and could be heard, that may also be how you got caught

mario actually said "bye bye" if you put it in sleep mode too, so you were probably screwed nonetheless


For the people that dont understand, This was a common thing kids used to do, (you might even still do it), where a kid would stay up and break night with their device, (most likely a nintendo DS), Sometimes they would hear their parents walk to their room, so they hide their device under their pillow or body, and fake sleep to avoid getting caught.


I remember when I was younger, I was sleeping in the same room as my mother and we used to turn off the internet for night. When I was sure my mother was asleep, I was turning it on and watching youtube under pillow and blanket. I was so cautious about every little thing I heard, every breath. Didn't get caught.


I used to play Minecraft until like 3 to 6 am back at 7th grade. I was doing it for so long that I acted like I was some survival expert to my friends on how to stay up all night without your parents noticing you.

Good times.


one of the scariest things for me about it was when i stayed up for too long my brain would start to play tricks on me with noises like footsteps or muffled talking from my parents room.

also I sens that people are in my room but no one is there and i just feel skared the hole night

This shows of how kids can sense someone is coming.
Sometimes, we can just sense it even without the sound of footsteps or any noise, like it's natural part of our system.


I am proud to say I understand this with my whole heart.


I never really had devices to get caught on as a kid but I was terrified of getting caught being awake at night, which was often! I have a borderline uncontrollable habit of laughing when I'm scared so one night my parents were whispering next to me while I slept and I had never been on my bestest best behavior before in my life. The self control I displayed that night, insurmountable. I was terrified.

@Aiden Arizpe I understand. Some people laugh during stress. This girl brought her kid brother to this scary movies once and I remember him laughing through all the horror scenes out loud. Whole theatre was confused.

If you laugh or smile when your parents come in just think about very depressing thoughts

@Aiden Arizpe I just smile like- super duper wide so i just cover half my face with the blanket

Rip but I don’t laugh but get more traumatized

@A Fellow Celestial in my case I yawn when ever I feel scared (like really scared at something)

@naylene hess paradoxical stress response refers to mental disorders, not random and natural events.

YOU CAN UNSUB NOW PLS 😭 (check my bio uwu)

@Aiden Arizpe paradoxal stress rresponse

@Aiden Arizpe People laugh when they are scared

Whenever I pretend I’m going to sleep and my parents come in I’m literally always on the verge of laughing it’s just for some reason I just have to laugh even tho there’s nothing funny


I had the guts to go all the way down to the living room where my tablet was, charging. And each time I had to face my tablet down because it would light up once I unplugged it, and the light was bright so after I turned it off I had to go all the way back up to my bedroom and hide under the covers... Good times 😌👍


Our mom has ultra instinct. She once opened the door to check on us, then closed it. We thought the coast was clear, but to our surprise, she was standing there with the 'I knew it!' face lol


Similar feeling to trying to go to sleep and then hearing a sound inside your bedroom.

 Instead of fake sleeping, you go into fake "non existent" mode, where you try to breath as little as possible and be as still as a rock so that the entity doesn't notice you


Like I'm on earpods while playing and then suddenly my mom tap on my shoulder and told me to sleep without me knowing she's behind me and she was talking to me, my reaction also scares my mom lmao. Palpitation at it's finest.


At first I thought it was a Literal horror, but it was a Pure Horror with your Parents... I thought that an Intruder gets in your house, then I realized that it opens the door in your room and turn down the lights and you are pretending asleep... So I Get it... I Did This Most of the Time😭😂


Honestly, it’s not that scary after your parents checked you, it’s scarier when, after opening the door to your room, you followed this reflex as usual, but only after a few minutes you realize that none of your parents were at home that night.

@MiniMe 3673 man if im in mandela county ill just not awake, because i dont wanna show any fears

@im bored Jesus, that was the worst. I got hit with that so much that I moved to my basement, and have not slept in my room in 3 years, purely so that I could play my 3ds/Switch all night.

@ the first two sentence horror story created

@Pete Peterson "You're in my home? Damn, that's scary! One small issue..."

"So am I."

@Pete Peterson "You're in my home? Damn, that's scary! One small issue..."

*"So am I."*

its still scary if they check multiple times at random

@AnotherYoutuber "Nice opinion, one small matter...I am inside your home."

After I get checked I usually think it's safe to bump the volume up a few notches, but I dread hearing that second creak...


2023 and still the most terrifying experience known to teenagers and adults alike


Being honest here, I think ive been in this situation so many times it's not even scary anymore, it just feels like a natural part of being awake at night


The hardest part? Maintaining a sleep-like breathing rhythm while your heart is pumping like crazy


i remember that at some point I learned that if I didn't have enough time to pretend I'm asleep, I'd pretend my parent just woke me up, which made them actually back off with checking whether or not I'm asleep, lmao


There was this one time, my sister and I were both on our ds late at night then my mom walked into my sister, whose room was in closer to the entrance than mine. I was lucky enough to survive that day.


I learned through shows I watched as a kid that you had to breathe reallllly deep and long to mimic the even, long breaths people take when they’re actually asleep.

@Assassin Aria proven useless so far, you could turn 80 and hear the grim reaper say ‘if they’re not in there sleeping I’m taking them with me’ and you could cheat death.

@Hoàng Duy crazy little detail but true 😂

I also learned in kindergarden <del>by creepily stare at my piers when they're deep asleep</del> , that when a kid is sleeping, their fingers tend to twitch a bit, or that's how I see it, so I copied that tiny detail. Works every single time lol

I also learned in kindergarden -by creepily stare at my piers when they're deep asleep- , that when a kid is sleeping, their fingers tend to twitch a bit, or that's how I see it, so I copied that tiny detail. Works every single time lol

I’ve tried to do this but every time I do I focus on my breathing to much and start to panic 😭

Same >:D but also the automatic fear and panic was enough for me to hold my breathe

I dont recommend that though, dont think about breathing, in real life you cant tell the difference between how someones breathing sounds when they are awake vs asleep

@Assassin Aria lucky I didn't have to do or master this as much as I  look like I'm dead when I sleep since you can't even hear me breath and I barely move

It is a skill I have mastered that has proven useless to me in adulthood.


My dad said he did this with a portable crt TV in the 80s, so relatable. I did it with a tablet.


This is SO DAMM TRUE. The paranoia i have from the sounds of footsteps still haunt me playing on my phone at night nowadays.


One night at age 12 was grabbing my iPad from the living room and taking it back to my bedroom when I heard my moms door open 3 feet away from me. I instinctively slid the iPad under a door right next to me and stood up before my mom saw me. Probably one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced lol


I am 92% convinced Mario Blares Out Bye Bye on full volume just so parents would know if you were asleep or not. It seems smart kinda. (As a psychopath I think this is amazing)


when i thought i got away w playing my phone at midnight 😬😬😬 my dad literally told me the next morning he knew i played my phone at midnight


That moment when you try and play your DS under the covers to muffle the noise but you start getting hot and sweaty, so you just play it with the covers off and hope your parents don't hear you

@Anglepsycho lol that game was called Fossil Fighters (the greatest game ever made)

Me after I sit at home Al day and watch the most horror shit I can find

i just make the music and sounds in my head

The nostalgia is flowing through my vains

Kinda crazy that so many people have lived this exact experience

Aaahaha I used to do this with my Switch. I didn't wear headphones and put the volume on low so I'd be able to hear anyone coming.

@👑The crowned PotterHead in Gryiffindor👑 Once you turn 13, if you get it caught, it don’t matter.

I just use my headphones and turn my brightness down and then  I stay up until 3am and I’m out and then I wake up and get the day done without a nap

And how ever sees this is gonna think I’m weird for this but I do not like naps or sleeping unless I absolutely need to but over all I hated them as a kid to be honest

Wait, y’all didn’t have a fan partway out of your covers and partway in? It was ventilated AF.

@Zyra__ happens to me alot, it's so scary when you think someone's gon jumpscare you at night

@DreamyMitzi when i was young  i always opened and closed the ds for that sound to play (during the day)

That's when you go God Mode and try not to hum everything to your favorite game since you got scared and muted the audio.

Even with the dinosaur game where you had to blow on the mic to get dust off.

Anybody sleep under the covers to hide from all the creatures in your room but get too sweaty

so im still a kid but i never played while going to bed but i did put my head in the pillow and i was so scared that someone is just outside  waiting to jumpscare me or something

I just turn the volume down. Also like, if I accidentally slid the volume up I’d turn it down. Also another trick I did was put a blanket against my door to muffle soung. I learned how to do this from a CHADTRONIC video

Yes lol, I played  pokemon moon or sun till like 1 am lol

Krish when playing Super Mario 64 DS on real hardware, Mario would say "Bye-bye!" if you closed your Nintendo DS.

this comment just sent a wave of nostalgia through me


It's still scary, even now. Even when you're 25.


For some reason I like that room. Idk, it looks cozy and stuff. Plus I like the style of the lamp and bedsheets. It looks like something I would see in my grandma's house.


it happened so many times i could tell if it was my dad or my mom just by the footsteps, if it was my mom i had to prepare my greatest hiding spots and if it were my dad ill just put it under the pillow, its a terrifying experience and can traumatize you for the rest of the night


omg this is me at my grandparents house. if i’m not asleep by 12 they get angry and yell at me, i’m a grown adult and it still makes my heart beat rapidly


I’ll never forget the feeling of cold air rushing over me as my dad (whom I hadn’t heard come in) pulled my covers off of me when I was on a device as a kid


This instinct to be afraid of getting in trouble for staying up past your bedtime is ingrained in me so deeply...I live alone now and if I hear a noise sometimes I will freeze up and put my phone away 😅

@Allison Hart i think he meant you got that nigga Casper the ghost livin with you dear.

You should remove yourself from your phone. The fact you’re like this is not your parents fault, rather technology. This thread is terrifying to me. Seeing so many scared adults is fucked up.

@E-equals-MC Hammered Noises happen without people interfering, I've literally never heard silence before, there's always some sort of noises or ambience happening.

Actually, if you live alone and hear a noise, that's probably a good idea.

Actually, if you live *_alone_* and hear a noise, that's probably a good idea.

@E-equals-MC Hammered Somebody slams the door in another apartment, and for a second I'm like "Oh crap I'm supposed to be sleeping, I'm gonna get caught!"" It's just like a weird instinct before the conscious brain kicks in

Wait.. you live alone, how would you hear a noise 🤔

Same, like my doh will brush past the door and I'll hide my phone under my pillow


The song is White Noiz from Silent Hill 2. One of the greatest video games soundtracks of all time.

I watched the movie when I was 8.. couldn‘t sleep 3 months

Lisa's theme from sh1 is an epic tune too

Finally! Someone tell us that was from Silent Hill 2 soundtrack!

just as i was going to say... that's right man, finished the game one or two summers ago. playing it in the summer night breeze was a experience. it is one of my favorite game.<br>and soundtrack oh boy... downloaded on my phone and listened some pieces constantly.

I dont think my heart has ever pumped so much faster than the time i almkst got caught trying to play my ds at night. It was really like playing fnaf irl. I did survive though when they closed the door and walked away i was so happy because now i knew i could play all night since i successfully fake slept.


Gives me childhood chills

Its not a nightmare i see it as memorable thing on my life ❤


my mom had a great way of getting me to sleep, and that was whispering "go to sleep, go to hide" in our language. to this day i still sleep with my blanket over my head.


the worst experience i had is when im pretending to sleep i was peeking to make sure my mom went out but just saw a “natural” face looker and bursted out laughing.


I remember there being a couple of times where I almost got caught. My mom would speak to me to try and get a reaction to catch me lying, but as any true master of the craft (the craft being fake sleeping to continue playing your game), I’d whole heartedly commit to the lie and fake it even while she talked, forcing her to believe I was asleep and leave my room. I don’t know if she ever knew or not but man were those some adrenaline boosts 😅

@Yuukiharu Barzahd I’m responding late because you got my phone taken away as punishment.

@Jinsory some 5 headed shit wtf but unfortunately I can't do that cause i'd get my shit beaten

She probably knew it the moment she entered the room. I don't know but parents kinda have this sixth sense when it comes to watching their children if that even makes sense lol

I went a few levels deeper, and I made sure that sometimes I'd admit to being up and that I made a mistake. Other times, I don't respond at all. All in all, this is how I hide the fact that I'm always awake - the same way corrupt politicians hide their money. By conditioning honesty.

She likely knew. My niece and nephew pull the same tricks I used to as a kid, but I don’t have the energy to scold them, especially for such minor things lol.

Ong that was me this morning tho, I didn't feel like waking up to do chores cause I was in so much pain so I faked it, L

Some nights my heart would be beating so fast trying to hide my game and pretend sleep that I felt my heartbeat would be loud enough to give away that I was awake. It was my own Edgar Allen Poe story lol


when i was 9 i had a clean room specifically for the purpose of being able to switch off the light, take off my headphones, take off my hoodie and get under the covers (hiding my tablet) and get my breathing rate to sleeping mode in less than a second. it's a talent i still have, i tried it out during this comment<br>edit: this is also how i started sleeping shirtless. mum used to make me get up so she could see if i was hiding my tablet or phone or w/e so i started sleeping shirtless based off the fact that, with me being afab, she would stop pulling the covers off of me. it worked and i managed to keep my unhealthy sleep schedule until the present day

I had a lot of times where this has happened. My heart beats like crazy every time to happens.


The sounds in this video sounded like they were behind me, even with the earbuds in. I’ve never felt like someone was behind me when watching a video.


I may not fully understand but I know that being alone isnt always a thing.


I've snuck around too much as a kid, and now even though I'm 20 now I have a tendency to unconsciously move in near-silence and I've ended up startling people unintentionally a few times


The worst is when my mother would hover over my head to see if I noticed the feel, the longest 15 seconds of my entire life.

@Mr Scruffles Well then eyebags appear and they turn into a panda

@Nothing._.Here! Just leave the kids alone for god's sake.

@Mr Scruffles When they’re actually sleeping, they won’t notice. When they’re faking it, they’ll either wake up or chose the path to be an actor. After they wake up, the mom’ll take the device and force them to sleep.

As a parent, your mom was just checking to see if you were breathing

@Nothing._.Here! Coming into their rooms and shining lights at their faces isn't gonna help them sleep any better.

@Mr Scruffles No, parents care for their kids and they don’t want their own children to stay up late bc that’s bad for their health. They really just care bc sometimes kids know it’s bad but they do it anyways. So if the mom just doesn’t check on them the kids will probably keep playing and it’s bad.<br>I’ve stopped doing that, mainly because i’ve got lots of things to do. Even in summer, i’m really just too tired for anything

@PlanetARI You literally scared the shit out of me<br>I wonder whenever that happens, is that actually my mother? I wouldn’t risk getting killed either way.

@Juska But i usually sleep like a horse…. Even if Chernobyl exploded 25 miles away i’d still be sleeping…. <b>Well maybe i’d be dead but i’d die in my sleep</b>

@Pandox I’ll delete this comment I have no care for YouTube comment likes

Bro when my mom does that. I just start laughing out of NO WHERE, then I get nice cute lecture ;)

@Velocity9000 woahhh someone watched too much Mandela

@Marr Or just leave your kid the hell alone so they can sleep?

@Mr ScrufflesThe reason is very simple, in that some people can’t help but smile or react if they know they’re being watched in that scenario, so the hovering over is to see if your child gives in to the feeling and reacts, then you can send them to the shadow realm or whatever.

@Sanitha Sunil its about when you are on your device at night and you feel like your parents are coming.

I know the feeling & can recall multiple vivid memories of my mom doing this. I got pretty good at pretend sleeping after some time, now I can fool anyone.

@chickenfoot It's not normal to hover over their bed like a god damn creep.

@Mr Scruffles thinking your kids are pretending to sleep and then doing something to check that is very normal lol, kids lie

I would be trying so hard not to smile when that happens

@Juska  same, but my dad's farts are loud sometimes, so I'm not actually acting.

I would think it was the worst thing too if my mom lifted off the ground and started hovering above my head

@Sanitha Sunil It’s whenever as a kid you’d be up past bedtime playing games then when your parents come to check on you boom, fast fucking asleep.

I don't understand the video or the comments.....can you explain it to me?

@icommentlol well I actually just pretend im waking up cuz they disturbed me, its easier and with nice acting of confusion and sleepiness and kinda little coarse voice makes sense

@icommentlol I mean, do you honestly think that's normal human behavior?

"Hover over my head" that line alone gives me the creeps.


This is a really scary situation
You can hear every footsteps,sounds and even the wind stopping in your ears when someone walks by, your heart beat rises so much you can hear it when you're pretending and after they're gone you don't know if you can continue playing or keep pretending to be sleeping.
Quite scary indeed
+Bread🍞👍


It is so scary that you'll feel as if your heart popped out of your body and your legs can go numb for a moment time.


Dang I thought this was something that had a dark story behind it, but after reading the comments I can relate to this


I'm an 09 and am almost 14. However this does bring back so many memories from the early 2010's.


this happened to me so many times (like over 50 😭) and they all happened at night, everytime that happens i get scared af. always backin up into the corner of my bed


I’m only 14, so I wasn’t even alive in 2005. Yet I can still relate to this, so I’m pretty sure at this point it’s a universal experience. Like in 50 years kids are still probably gonna be doing this

@Jacob Crawley Born in 2004. Messes with me big time when people say they were born in 2008.

@rambbler so true and I’m only 18…only. Please tell me that the “only” belongs there before I start feeling old as fck again. Yikes I’m gonna be 20 soon. Man that’s weird.

@rambbler Bro I can't believe people were born after 2002, fr that actually messes with my head

>14
>not alive in 2005

I refuse to believe that those aren't mutually exclusive.

How tf you people sentient, weren't even alive in 2005. Damn man, tomorrow some mf still in diapers gonna tell me about how they related to this video even though they were born in 2018.

wtf y'all are so young lmao, y'all are managing to make me feel old being 22

2006. even now it is still so terrifying to get caught playing on my 3ds or phone or whatever by my parents. im 15 😭😭😭

so i counted and there atleast 7 omori pfps in this thread as of the time i am writing this

I'm 2005 and I did this all the time but with books lmao

@Кагхтавый OMORI

@Кагхтавый OMORI

Wow, there's a whole gang of people with Omori pfps

totally. it’s like part of being a kid. also, omori pfp gang

@spongebob sqaurepants be nice, if we're honest, this is the worst time in life, knowing yourself but still living in a time where we consider minors as subordinates or investments and deprioratize children's rights and brain development.

@Brain Steroids exactly!! That's changing though! As we progress in science and prioritize infant and child brain development and children's right to a peaceful development! RIE and peaceful parenting are gaining real traction and attention for new families and I'm happy for that

Hopefully we'll know better as these next generations go on, we'll be kinder to our young people!

The sad thing about this, is we probably wouldn't be as scared if child abuse wasn't so common

can confirm, i have never had a handheld console but i have experienced something similar, except it's with my phone

@KEL!!!! ✩  course fellow omori pfp, very cool! it is awesome to meet you


That one time i hid it under the blanket and my mom took it while i was still pretending to sleep taught me to hide the earphones in the pant pocket and tablet basically inside the pillow cover the exact second i hear footsteps. Funny thing is i only got caught that one time and she didnt even bring it up the next day, heck she probably thought i fell asleep using it. i just get the adrenal rush cuz ik i shouldnt be doing it despite it having no consequences lol


I remember one time I was up late and didn't recognize the footsteps, so I got scared shitless, and then my aunt caught me.

But legit these situations were traumatizing.


i would try so hard to avoid the belt and the coathanger, but nothing goes as planned in my household.


I remember getting caught playing a pokemon fan game with my brother in the middle of the night. I gave my father my computer when he was about to closer the door and walk away, thing is, he didnt know i had my computer hidden, but i assumed he saw me trying to hide it. Still facepalm at it even today


I never had a DS but I remember doing this with my phone. It sure is creepy browsing Reddit while having to listen for footsteps.


the scariest part of this is having to quickly and precisely fake sleep and squint your eyes without being caught

When I can't sleep and hear a noise I pretend to sleep and I don't wanna open my eyes if I see a terrifying face

i don’t know if i’m a unfortunate being for mastering such technique

my eyes would twitch so I would hide in a bolster... then they eventually caught on and whenever I bid in my bolster they knew, so I had to take sleep out on the open. yes that was scary


This has always been the scariest and I learnt how to distinguish their footsteps. But there was a time I didn't recognise this certain footstep


This reminded me of one time I was playing with the DS, and actually fell asleep while faking it, and my father, entered the room, like, at 2 in the morning, with the bad luck that the sheets didn't covered the console, he woke me up thinking I was awake and took my DS for almost a whole freaking year


This honestly is my darkest fear, but thankfully I’ve never been caught by my parents and only my brother.


By listening to this i started panicking and my anxiety went to the roof 📈


Yes. This was so scary. So traumatizing. I was never the same.


Honestly this shit was always so terrifying. I didn't even need to hear sounds I would just wake up from a nightmare or wake up and think about some scary shit then I would be absolutely frozen layed on top of my sheets wanting to cover myself up to feel safer but also strangely being scared to move.

Once I had a sleep paralysis, I couldn't move and stuff, a stuffed bear of mine was moving left to right, staring at me endlessly, and a photo of mine moving it's mouth slowly,that was the only sleep paralysis I ever had in my life

That’s completely different from what’s on the video

That’s completely different from what’s on the video

Holy shit, I had that a lot when I was 6 years old. It would be like 3:30am and I'd suddenly wake up then hear whispering outside my door. Never be willing to turn and make noise and instead close my eyes and pray I wasn't going to die.

sorry but everyone here is definitely on the wrong page lmao

This is about getting caught playing games not nightmares lmao

SAAME except I slept with my whole body covered, even the head

Its a kid pretending to sleep to avoid getting caught playing games 💀

꧁༺ 𝓟𝓗𝓞𝓣𝓞𝓟𝓢 ༻꧂

i used to do the same. would get so scared that if i moved or made a noise the thing would hear or see me

This is about pretending to be asleep while playing video games, not that

@elle this is about getting caught playing your ds at night

@Jhared Sarmiento in sleep paralysis you're awake, but you can't move and you have hallucinations

@QaugiThaDuck i had sleep paralysis once when i was 3 years old many years ago and it never happened again

@Jhared Sarmiento Thats literally sleep paralysis, your body is asleep but your mind is awake so you can look around but you can't move your body

This is about being caught playing video games-

This is about being caught playing video games-

the fact that ive slept in the same room as my family my whole childhood

@reaper when i look at the face they dissapear

@Jhared Sarmiento i could fcking see you type that

@Jhared Sarmiento i could fcking see you type that

i lived in legit haunted apartament as a kid, when parents left i felt very uneasy and like someone was there with me, i hid under blankets and felt like someone was looking at me standing nearby

i literally fricking woke up at 4:54 am cause i had to eat and i couldn’t even sleep and i went under my blanket ;-;

@Scorp Yeah but I'm talking about nightmares

@Scorp Yeah but I'm talking about nightmares

The video is about playing the DS and hearing your parents' footsteps coming so you put it away and pretend to sleep

Not nightmares or whatever

@Jhared Sarmiento oh that was just me. i thought you were asleep but then when i realized you werent i was too scared to move. im still inside your walls

Woah absolutely right. This hits very close to Home.

Woah absolutely right. This hits very close to Home.

@FleppyTheClown Depends how you interpret it.

@FleppyTheClown Depends how you interpret it.

This video is about playing video games and then pretending to sleep when you think you hear your parents. Lol.

@ᗰIᑎIᖴᖇIGO I got that one time. My eyes were open though, because I saw my mom and her (ex) boyfriend walking in and out of my room. It was kinda like comatose

heh....yeah that orange is very good at dancing

heh....yeah that orange is very good at dancing

@Jhared Sarmiento it's 100% sleep paralysis, trust me i got a lot of them, when you  paralyzed a part of your brain thinks it's time to wake but all your muscles are disabled you can't open your eyes, the brain recreated your room in your head because it's always the first thing you see when waking up

@elle For me it's that I would wake up wanting to hide under my blankets but I would be to scared to even move an inch to put them on.

I didn’t get it until I read the comments and I lived that every night when I was 5

This always happened to me after I watched a scary clip of some fake crap and then when I went to bed I think about it and I would be completely frozen in fear

@QaugiThaDuck Nope, I was fully awake. I wasn't closing my eyes.

@Jhared Sarmiento sounds like sleep paralysis

@Jhared Sarmiento sounds like sleep paralysis

Fr. There was one time I was laying in bed and saw a face in a hole of my ceiling. That straight made me paralyzed. I didn't move for minutes and then when I laid back down the face was gone.

@elle I thought this was about being caught

@elle I thought this was about being caught

i think this video has a different meaning i think this just means your schizo

I remember waking up from nightmares in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep because i was so scared

it’s weird how this hits so close to home. i also remember hiding under my blankets and pillows and being super hot but too scared to move from under the blankets.


For me this was never a problem since I always slept early because I knew that if I stayed up late the next day at school I would feel like shit and my grades were not the best, So I couldn't afford to go to class without a good night's sleep and not pay attention properly in class.


This legit was probably the scariest moment in my life.


I'd hide in my blanket trying to fall asleep after 5 seconds instead of this horrifying experience continue all night.


This just brought back the traumas I've gotten for years 🥲


I never grew up with a ds, I was born in 2007, but I still remember when I would be playing Minecraft on my tablet and I always turned it off when I heard footsteps near my door or when my parents opened it to check on me. Shit was scary


It's almost as scary as sneaking out to get a snack at 3 am and the chip bag starts screaming.

Or when you crash into the dining room table in the dark cause you can't see shit and have to hold in your scream all the while doing the quietest, angriest pain dance silently cursing stationary wood furniture

When you step on a creaky floorboard and it starts playing some loud music

Or when you drop the soap bottle and satan comes up from hell

You open your door and yelling out instead of creaking

@Omori Plush the voice of satan reaches up from the pits of hell

Or when you use the bathroom and the toilet just BLOWS UP

When you get a phone call but forget to set it on vibrate and start bouncing and flumbling the phone around like a hot potato 🥔❤

or when the microwave sounds like an air raid siren

and when you drop a spoon and it sounds like a nuke just went off


Kids have done this kind of thing pretty much since light was available at night.  I can remember reading books by flashlight in the 1980's and hiding it all when my parents came upstairs.


absolutely terrifying,trying to pretend youre sleeping when you hear your mom's steps....louder and louder.....closer and closer and you immediately hide your DS under the pillow and wait nervously

feel I can relate to


I was lucky because I had a loft and my bed was up high, so I had a lot of time to hide my ds in some random place but I remember how scary it was hearing a slight creak or any noise and then waiting for my parents to just appear around the corner but nothing happened.


Love the Silent Hill theme, perfectly represents these moments.


i remember doing this once in the summer holiday and my <b>female parental figure</b> came in and found out, and for some reason, let me stay up late every night for the rest of the holiday

I understand pretending to be asleep as to not get caught being awake and how it could be scary for some but it personally never scared me growing up i didnt have strict parents they taught me the importance of going to bed for school but didn't punish me for staying up because they knew how miserable id be after getting like 4 hours of sleep then having to go to school i learned my lesson pretty quick.


my mother would wake up frequently at night and since we were living in a very small apartment she had to walk in every room in order to get to the kitchen to make herself some tea<br>the problem is that she would always come back and sit in my room, slowly drinking from her cup and i swear to god those moments felt like an eternity, sometimes i wasn't fast enough so i would only get to hide my phone and then pretend to sleep in the worst position ever causing me an awful pain, sometimes she would sit there for hours leaving me to one last option: give up and just sleep for real.

That’s me while watching TV

It honestly helps me sleep, so I always here when my mom’s coming into my room, wether that’s with the sound of the stairs, or her standing up from her chair, or even the bathroom. Most of the times she only enters my room to go to the bathroom since it is only a few steps away

Depending on how late it is she’d either gently tell me to turn it off or yell at me because I wasn’t asleep yet

But sometimes she just opens the door to check if I’m asleep and that’s it, like some sort of one night at flumpty’s 2

Anyways, when I hear her coming I turn off the TV and wait for her to go by, then I turn it on again, no sound, to watch 1 or 2 YouTube videos and that’s it

This would also apply to my old IPad which I use as an alarm clock (but I use to look at memes and stuff), but since my mom’s asleep most of the time around those hours she’s only caught me around once or twice in my whole life


Sometimes my parents sound like they are shifting time and space when they walk around my house with wooden floorboards.


I used to do this with an iPad which was tremendously risky, and sometimes I wouldn’t even be able to fit the whole thing under the pillow so I’d have to cover myself up to my ears with the blanket to hide it. My iPad was also really slow so turning it off wouldn’t stop the sound right away so I’d have to pause the video and then turn it off so I was playing the most risky game out of them all

Imahine hiding your device under the pillow 🤡 hiding it under the blanket is way safer and faster.

Same with me either me or my brother would have to sneak all the way to the kitchen counter to get our amazon tablets.

@terrorWraith well the tittle speaks for itself

Lol the sneaking goes across all gemerations. For me it was a gameboy.

@Kneeling Pheasant I have a laptop. I just muted it one night (when my mom took my shit away) and closed it whenever I heard the water stop, because she was in the bathroom, which is near my bedroom door.<br>When she came in, I already had my laptop at the end of my bed. I got away with it that night lmao

Sad, dude. My tablet turns off at the speed of light.

how tf did u survive u mustve had some insane tactice 😭🤣🤣🤣

Im playing Minecraft in my dad's laptop in his room. So if he wakes up, its done

I used to play a game meant for adults on ipad at night, and one day I wasn't quick enough to hide it, she took the iPad, searched it, deleted all my games, but I never understood how she didn't see the content of the game since it was on lol.

Omg same I did this before I had a phone but my parents memoried where my electronics were lol

@Nixie risky business right there

But you have my respect, brother.

Lmao this was me back in 2012 with my ipad 1 trying to play ‘Hay Day’ past midnight

LMAO HOW DID YOU GO THROUGH EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS ME LMFAO 😭😭😭 EVEN FOR ME IT WAS AN IPAD AND SO HARD TO HIDE LOL

…gosh…I do that but damn my iPads better.

Ok relateable cuz i do exactly same with my ipad and its also slow😂

And the screen be so large that even if you turn ur brightness to max low it would still reflect light shining under ur blankets 😔💀

I remember doing this except i was hiding in my parents storage room and I accidentally fell asleep in there.

This man be playing the sneaky game on HARDER mode

For me, my mom could always tell that I had hidden it under my pillow, so I mastered the art of quietly shoving it far down my bed. When my mom would leave, I would pull it out by it’s charger.

Can someone explain to me i don’t understand the whole point of thie video

ANOTHER IPAD USER AYYYYY My iPad is fast but the charger is down stairs and my parents sometimes sleep down 💀

@Kneeling Pheasant God the memories my heart was pounding as if I ran a few miles 😭

I wish I couldn't relate to this but I do a hundred percent

Try a laptop then we'll talk about the hardest claim of yours(•‿•)

I used to do it with a laptop and it was hard lol

A friend told me their grandma would put her iPad in a brown paper bag but they still found a way to sneak it.

BRO ME TOO, TO THE LITERAL POINT. EVEN THE WHOLE 'PAUSING THE VIDEO BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN' THING


Everyone of us has had the feeling at least once, deep down we know something is going on we wakeup and watch YouTube till we fall asleep.


ive done this so many times i trained myself to distinguish the house creaking from someone coming upstairs. i know every sound, every plan, every excuse, every backup plan. i can solidify myself and keep calm. i learned to make lies on a whim. nothing has stopped me. i have mastered nightly iphone stealth


I was raised with a religious step parent so whenever I did this, it was like playing dead in a warzone when an enemy enters the room and check if you're dead. Which I began quite a master of playing it out to where I never got caught after the first failure.


I’ve done this but with my iPhone. Since it was summer I decided to take advantage and stay up later than I usually do. It worked until either 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning when my mother woke up due to hearing my phone. I made the idiotic decision that night to watch videos. We lived in a small house so it was easier for her to know. Every time one of my parents moved I went back to pretending I was sleeping. Although I’m not sure if I was successful for a bit or if my mom spent the the entire time listening


I got so good at this like I could literally wait until they are right outside my room and id jump from one side of the room to the other all while turning off my device and lights simultaneously without making a peep
