MANY of us have experienced the paranoia that we are being followed.  

Whether you’re home alone or out in public, there’s nothing more frightening than feeling like someone is watching you and may be out to hurt you.

One mother named Misty, who goes by @Misty_M319 on TikTok, said she was put in a terrifying situation while shopping with her teenage daughter at Walmart—and it should serve as a warning to young girls everywhere.

“We’re going through the store and there’s a man. I make eye contact with this man a couple of times but I’m thinking, ‘Hmm. Whatever.’”  

She got a bit more creeped out when she noticed that everywhere she would go in the store, the man would appear.

“I told my daughter who is 14, ‘Pay attention to what’s around you.’ And she’s like, ‘What am I looking at?’ And I tell her, ‘That white hat. Don’t lose that white hat.’”

With every turn they took throughout the large store, the daughter continued to point out the man that followed them.

“He’s doing random stuff. He’s picking things up, putting it down. And I keep making eye contact with this guy.

“So we go to check out and I’m like, 'Let’s just stay here for a second. We’ll just act like we’re going through the things in our cart, give him time to check out.'”

The man entered the self-checkout lane and began to ring up his things, so the woman took this as her opportunity to go to a lane further away from him in the store.

But there he appeared again.

She tried to act normal, but was vigilant of where the man was going.

She saw him exit through the front entrance as she was packing up her cart, and she thought she was in the clear.

“But then he’s in the parking lot. My daughter is like, ‘Mom, he’s right there.’”

The mother told her daughter to watch him as she got out of her phone, but the daughter lost sight of his hat.

“Then, I see another man going up the same parking lot lane that we’re supposed to be going up.

"So, I’m like, ‘Were going to follow that man. When I get to the car, I’m gonna unlock the door. You jump in the car and I’m gonna throw the things in so we can get out of here quick.’

“And then we see the man again. He’s already gotten in his car and he’s driving to the end of the parking lot.”

The woman felt momentarily relief thinking the man was actually leaving the store and not waiting for them.

“Nope. He circles and he parks, and he waits at the end of the lane we’re in. We pull back out to leave, he’s right behind us.

“I shoot up the parking lot, I’m able to jump out the main road. I see him, he gets caught by the red light.”

She took that as her chance to get off the highway and take hidden side streets straight to her parent’s house, as she was afraid to go home.

Although she luckily got away, she said someone else might not have been so lucky.

“The point of this story,” she said, “is to pay attention to your surroundings.

“Pay attention when you’re walking through stores, when you’re walking through parking lots. Don’t be on your phone.”

Commenters offered advice for what to do if this ever happens again:

“LADIES!!! Call these people out IN THE STORE!! Pull out your phone, take their picture and call 911!!! They need to know you’re on to them,” one person wrote.

“YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE POLITE!! Start using your voice! Ask the guy in a loud voice WHAT DO YOU WANT? Make a scene! it could save your life,” added another.

A third revealed how he’s helped women in similar situations: “I'm a big guy. I have had women approach me in Walmart and ask me to walk them to their car because someone is making them uncomfortable.”
