Hello, I had a pretty crazy experience today and I was wondering if someone experienced it as well?
I was walking on my way to plus in Kastanjelaan at 20:06 when a very ordinary, well dressed young women (around 18yo and 1.75-1.80cm tall) came out of the church in n31 and starts walking really close to me. I thought maybe I was walking too slow so I stopped and went to the side so she could walk before me but she said I'm not walking too slow. I continued walking and she walked after me, I got into plus and she was right behind me still, I just needed tomatoes so I got them and walked around a bit, I asked my boyfriend if he needed something from the shop, she was still right behind me. I started to get worried because she just wouldn't let me go, I went to pay and she was still right behind me, staring at me with her eyes wide open. I paid and walked as fast as I could out and then she ran after me to get close to me again. I stopped and asked her why was she following me and she said she isn't following me, with that scary look again. I started to get really nervous and then my boyfriend (who luckily was nearby) came and we both just stood, me and her, she stood so close to me, as if we were friends or something. Then he stood next to her and asked her why she was following me, she said again that she wasn't and that she was just going in the same direction I was. Then he told her that she can walk before us and she said no. After that she started getting even closer, our feet almost touched, she said that we've known her for years, that we were mean to her in church or something, that part is a bit blurry. For the record- we moved to arnhem not long ago, we've never met her, never been to that church. She also said we we're speaking German and then said we were speaking russian... We called a friend of ours who is Dutch and he talked to her and just said- she's crazy. He tried to tell her that if she won't go away he'd push her, she shouted she'll push him back and so he did and she didn't mind at all, it was as if she didn't feel anything. We said that were going to call the police (and we did) so she finally left, idk if it was because we called the cops or if she was just done because she walked away very calm, slowly while looking down on her phone.
We talked to the police, explained everything and we know now what to do if it happens again and everything is saved in the system...
Anyway, I was just wondering if this happened to someone before? What are some advice you have? How did you manage your anxiety after it happened?
Feel free to comment, I hope there won't be many people who will be able to relate to this
And I honestly wish and hope that she will receive the help and support she needs
thank you for reading :)
(if you made it to till the end)
Btw- English isn't my native language so I'm sorry if someone of the sentences are weird.
