The Roommates is a scary urban legend about two girls who get scared when they stay alone at college alone during a vacation.
Two female college roommates were staying in their dorm room during the University’s Christmas vacation. All of the other girls on campus had gone home so they were completely alone.
The roommates were trying to do some study, but they ended up just spending hours browsing the Internet on their laptop.
Late that night, one of the girls felt hungry so she told her roommate she was going downstairs to get some food. She assured her friend she would be back in a few minutes. Then she took the keys to open the kitchen door and walked off down the hallway.
The other girl sat in her room, using her laptop and waiting for her roommate to return. After a while, she began to feel sleepy so she undressed and got into bed.
As she was about to fall asleep she heard a gurgling moan coming from down the hallway. She froze, lying in bed, her heart pounding. The sound stopped, but it was replaced by a dragging noise.
The girl was terrified. She couldn’t lock the door because her roommate had taken the keys with her. All she could do was lie there, shivering, as the sound drew nearer and nearer.
She listened, shaking with fear, as the dragging sound came closer and closer, stopping right outside her door. Then, something began scratching at the door. Frightened beyond belief, the girl jumped out of bed and hid in the closet.
The trembling girl was afraid to move a muscle. The scratching noise seemed to go on and on. Eventually she managed to fall asleep, curled up in the closet.
The next morning, the girl cautiously stepped out of the closet. The scratching sounds had stopped but she was still too frightened to open the door. Looking out her window, she saw a mailman passing by and shouted to him for help.
She heard the mailman’s footsteps entering through the college dorm and coming up the stairs, into the hallway. Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.
“Is everything OK?” cried the girl.
For a few seconds, there was just silence.
“Yes, everything’s OK”, shouted the mailman. “Just stay in your room. I’ll get the police.”
“What’s wrong?” asked the girl.
“Nothing!” came the mailman’s reply. “Just stay where you are. Don’t come out.”
But the girl was already turning the handle and opening the door. As the door swung open, the girl saw the mailman standing there, his face pale and his eyes wide with fear. Then she looked down and screamed in horror at what she saw.
Her roommate’s dead body was sprawled on the floor, lying in a pool of blood. There was a hatchet buried in her head and her fingernails were worn down to bloody stumps from scratching on the door for help.
Aww, I feel bad that her roommare didnt help her, but I would have done the same thing if I heard scratching noises; hide in the closet.
when i was like 7 i was really scared of the dark and would hear noises all the time in my house. id always put my whole body underneath the cover’s and fall asleep! i still do that sometimes!
yeh! truth is i feel safe under my blanket?
no idea why? but yeh that story is scary if that happened i honestly would’ve jumped
out of the window and run for my life!
I like this but heard a scarier version
good thing the college im going to has many rooms in one dorm! lol they have like 6 bedrooms in each dorm! :D
i agree with yellowninja
Theres another version on this website called the boyfreind
I have heard this in another version!!!
omg! thats sorta sad! the roommate was too dam scared to help her friend who was attempted to be murdered, and just let her die.
i dont get it cuz if shes scratching at the door wouldnt ya think the murderer would go on the room?
and also why do we feel safe under blankets? its not like a murderer will come in and say “im going to ki, aw crap shes under a blanket”
I read something that was like this. Theirs these two roommates, one smart and the other is a drama club member. The drama club member goes for a play which she has the main role. She tells her roommate that she would be back later after the after party for the play. During the play it comes to her big part when her voice cracks. Embarrassed she rush’s back to her room. When she opens the door the lights are off and the rocking chair is creaking. She asks her friend why are the lights off. A voice comes back, no reason I’m not feeling good and was trying to rest. As she turns the lights on she sees her roommates body was in the rocking chair. Her head was on the desk on the other-side of the room, with a man with a knife behind the body. The drama member runs out screaming for help. The man tackles her outside of the room. He tells her that no one can hear here because their all at the after party. Then he cuts off her head.

The girls started to hear noises but just ignored them and went to sleep. The keeper was on his laptop with his hand danggling on the side with his dog lucky licking it. in the mornig he went to the bathroom and on the mirror it said look in the cabinet in smeared blood. When he did so the dead dog ploped out with a note on it saying “people can lick to”.
