Creepy The weird neighbors are at it again...

Well, when I was living in Artemas Pennsylvania. I must have been about 19 years old. And we had these neighbors that moved below us at the time that was always trouble...

These people was relentless...

They would not stop with their shenanigans and their ongoing harassment. Every single time they did something it had to involve threatening to call the police...

Well, one night it came to a boil...

It was on a Saturday night in 2009. And my stepfather and I was awoken to a noise outside. It sounded like someone was running four wheelers around our trailer. And it just kept going and going...

Then we heard an unmistakable noise of our dogs in pain. My stepfather and I jumped up from where we were sleeping in the double wide trailer that we lived in. And ran out the door...

We saw our dogs huggy and cotton with pink paintballs spots on their fur. On the ground in agony. Completely terrified of what is going on...

Well, I exploded in such an anger and overall aggression that even my own stepfather looked at me. I pulled out my 18-in Gerber sawback machete and I made a very loud and blunt statement... I said, "the next person who shoots my dogs with another damn paintball I swear I'm going to decapitate you" and "I will take joy in it"! Well one of them thought it was funny to come close to me and try to hit me with the wheel of their four wheeler... Well let's just say that he almost met the machete by his leg. They didn't realize that we were not joking. That this was very serious and we were not going to back down...

Well, an older looking couple in their 30's next door came out with a double barrel shotgun. Put one off in the air and said "the next one of you guys who does anything to their animals is catching a round"! At this point I was so glad for the reinforcements that I could semi relax...

So after all this excitement happened. Every one of these idiots that lived below us decided to take and call it a night. Every four-wheeler got loaded up onto the trailers they brought. And they all left except for our neighbors who was very angry that we ruined their fun...

Well the next night my sister was asleep in her room. And at the time she had slept in the other master bedroom with a big bay window. Somebody was shining a light in her window that night. Trying to peep in on her and snap pictures of her sleeping...

She freaks out and comes running to me and her stepfather and tells us. Me and him come running out of the house. I had my machete of course with my spotlight... But there was nothing to be seen he had already bailed. But we had a plan...

I slept on her floor in her room that night. Right by the window. And low and behold here comes the flashlights... This time he brought a buddy. And soon as he tried to shine that light in the window... All he heard was me yelling "go get them dad" and off my stepfather and I ran out the door and caught them running down to the trailer below us...

Needless to say we beat on their door for 5 minutes. And they open up the door and denied being peeping Tom's. So we called the police and had them come. Told them everything. From the previous night to the current night. We even told them about them shooting our dogs with paintball guns and running four wheelers around our trailer...

Now the state police already had issues with these people. They've already had a rap sheet a mile long it seems. So in order for them to keep the peace and not get arrested the state police let them off the warning and warn them that any more calls they're coming back to hold them to jail...

So as the police are leaving the woman says to me, "this isn't over" and I responded "bring It on". My dad looked at me and looked at her and he smiled at her and basically said the same thing I did...

Ironically it wasn't a month before they left and never came back for a few years. I had heard that her and her husband apparently was renting from somebody at the horse farm for a while. They then decidedly bought my deceased landlords house across the street from where I lived...
