The Smiling Man — USA
In a quiet neighborhood in New York City, a woman walking home at 2 AM noticed a tall man dancing strangely under streetlights. His movements were slow and unnatural, but his smile never changed.
As she sped up, he copied her pace without breaking eye contact.
She turned a corner and ran into a diner for safety.
When police checked the street minutes later, it was empty.
But security footage later showed the smiling man standing motionless outside the diner for nearly three hours.
