That thing where you make up an argument in your head, decide the real person probably would have said that, and then be pissed at them for absolutely no good reason.

In recent years: My then-boyfriend and I drove from New Orleans to New Mexico and then to Denver from there. After leaving Roswell, we drove for a few hours and got lost in some labyrinthine neighborhood (sort of; the houses were very spread apart) on a winding gravel road (that seemed to be going around and around a small mountain) that seemed to be endless. No phone reception or street lights. Occasionally a white rabbit would appear, but no people until finally we reached what seemed to be the top. It was somehow even darker there. We realized we were now in a small RV park. We got out and walked around but our flashlight stopped working and it was so hard to see anything at all through all the trees and shadows. We looked around to see if there were any guards or anyone outside, but didn't see anyone. Got back in the car and tried to drive out of there. Once we were back on the gravel road, a man in the distance appeared who was clearly following us yet was seemingly not in any hurry. We slowed down, but he didn't wave his arms or try to jog and catch up to us. He just got kept walking toward the car and we both suddenly felt very creeped out and drove faster, and drove maybe a mile before he appeared again about 20 feet away from the car. Again we'd drive faster and again he'd reappear in odd places. It was like the road was rearranging itself to keep us from leaving; we must have been driving in this relatively small area for an hour and a half before finally escaping and getting back on the highway. (I find myself constantly forgetting about the man who followed us--despite remembering the other things-- when I think back to that road trip which is odd. I remember both of us had gaps in our memory from that entire day/evening once we arrived at our destination.)
This one may not count but to me it's definitely the creepiest due to what we learned about the person later on: Many years ago my best friend announced that she was dating someone new and wanted me to meet him. She had met him on a dating site and hardly knew him. So, she dragged me to some windowless dive bar where he was waiting with his friend. The second I laid eyes on him I was filled with nausea and the most unsettling feeling. It wasn't due to his appearance. I just felt the need to be as far away from him as humanly possible, and I said to my friend "We need to leave. We need to leave. He's not good." She ignored me as usual. They dated for a short while and broke up in an uneventful manner. I asked about it, and she sheepishly told me that she'd found out that he had viciously (like, in a really psychotic manner) attacked
and tried to scalp a girl he dated not long before her.
Wal-Mart stalker guy: I think I was 14 or so, and I'd often go grocery shopping for my mom on the same day each week. I started to notice this man always appearing in the same areas when I was there-- he liked to lurk in the bicycle section for whatever reason-- but one day he began following me around the store and trying to talk to me (mostly in Spanish) and give me his phone number. This went on for months and ended finally when he cornered me out of the blue and asked me to marry him. An employee finally scolded him.
Mall stalker guy: A gaunt, well-dressed man who was clearly coked out of his mind followed me around the mall for an hour and finally cornered me in the large arcade underneath the food court in the most startling way possible. He introduced himself as Enrique (he had very long immaculately groomed nails) and said that he had bought things for his sister, but he wanted me to have them instead. He was insistent on having me meet his sister. I was really doubting that this sister actually existed. I don't actually remember how I escaped this one exactly; I think I just hid in the bathroom.
[[removed this one since it doesn't really count as they weren't strangers exactly]]
There's lots more, but I tend to block out most of the spookier encounters as they were all very brief and surreal.
