One Texas woman is sharing her story about a night that started off playful and harmless but nearly turned into something unthinkable. A TikTok creator named Alexandra has opened up about a terrifying experience from her high school years.

What began as a late-night Pokémon Go adventure with her best friend quickly morphed into what The Texas woman now believes was a brush with a calculated predator. According to Alexandra, it was after 10 p.m. when she and her friend were driving through a community college campus, hoping to catch a few Pokémon. That’s when flashing lights appeared in her rearview mirror.

“I think we’re being pulled over,” she told her friend. They assumed it was campus security enforcing curfew and pulled into a parking lot. A security guard approached and informed them that the campus had a 10:00 p.m. curfew. So far, nothing too alarming. But the tone of the interaction shifted quickly.

When the guard learned they were playing Pokémon Go, he told them there was a rare Pokémon near the gymnasium. He encouraged them to go catch it before leaving. Alexandra declined, suggesting they’d come back another time. That’s when things took a strange turn.

“Oh, probably won’t be there. But I can show you really quick before you guys leave campus,” he reportedly told them. At first glance, that might not sound sinister. However, Alexandra says her body reacted before her brain could fully process it. “Immediately, chills down my spine,” she recalled.

The guard allegedly insisted on walking them to the location, but added they would need to get out of the car because vehicles weren’t allowed in that area. That detail set off every internal alarm bell. Despite his persistence and assurances it would take “five minutes,” Alexandra made up an excuse about her parents’ curfew and drove away.

This Is So Scary

At the time, she told her mom the story but didn’t fully grasp how serious the encounter might have been. That realization came a week later. While watching the news, Alexandra saw a report about a murder on that same campus in Texas. The suspect? The very same security guard she had interacted with.

Months later, further reporting revealed disturbing details. The guard had allegedly been planning his crimes for months and was searching for what was described as a “prime person.” Alexandra says that the profile of a young blonde girl matched her exactly.

“I have never felt sicker to my stomach,” she admitted. The weight of how close she may have come to becoming a victim hit her all at once. Her TikTok video quickly filled with reactions from stunned viewers. One person wrote, “This is INSANE.” Another commented, “The gift of fear.” A lawyer chimed in with, “Thank God you trusted your intuition. Lawyer here: I hope you told your story to the police.” And perhaps the most repeated sentiment: “A women’s intuition is always right! Glad ur safe girl.”

TikTok Was Shocked

It’s easy to brush off gut feelings. We’re taught not to overreact. Not to be dramatic. Not to assume the worst. Alexandra even reflected on that conditioning, explaining how people often feel silly reporting something that “might be nothing.”

But here’s the uncomfortable truth: sometimes that tiny internal whisper is the only thing standing between you and danger. She now says she’s “grateful” she listened to her instincts and acknowledges she was also fortunate to be inside a car, able to drive away.

Her final advice is simple but powerful: “Always, always, always listen to your intuition, your gut feeling. Do not let that go.” This Texas story serves as a chilling reminder that predators don’t always look the part, and sometimes the bravest thing you can do is trust yourself and leave. Because being “rude” is temporary, but being safe is everything.
