A black-eyed man is observed watching a man's wife and daughter while in a mall. The stranger tries to snatch the daughter. Security is alerted, but just seems to vanish into thin air!
I received the following creepy account:
"I was the store manager of a mall computer/gaming store in San Antonio, Texas. This was long before Game Stop and cell phones. We were located on the left side facing the middle of the mall with J. C. Penney's to the left at the end. This detail plays into what happened.
My ex-wife is a strikingly beautiful Latina woman. She was only 20 and my daughter was one and a half at the time. Unfortunately, fortunately for us, we had very beautiful babies. They almost looked like dolls. The reason I say this is my daughter attracted way too much attention as a baby. We stopped going out in public because people were constantly approaching us and trying to touch her.
It's a Sunday, I would work the whole day since it was a short day. The three of us would go to work. My ex-wife would dress our daughter and herself up and make a day of it. She liked to shop and wander for the day coming back to have lunch. Being the manager, I took long breaks as well.
Everything is going along fine like any other Sunday. I go out to give her some money and my spidey street senses start going crazy. I look to the left and see a man intently looking at my wife and our daughter. I meet his gaze he doesn't look away. I asked my wife if she knew the person staring at her. We both looked up and he was gone. Couldn't have been three seconds since I last looked at him. There was something strange about him, that I remember to this day. He was dressed in a dark gray suit with a dark gray overcoat.
Not to trouble her, I told her not to worry about it. We had lunch and we took the long way back to the store. We stopped by mall security. I introduced her to the security guys who had become good buddies. I pulled them aside and told them what had happened. They were concerned. We stop by the info booth and I tell the person working there to let me know if she sees him.
My ex-wife goes shopping in the J.C. Penney's store. Before she goes in, I tell her about the man in the gray suit. She let me know she'll keep an eye out for him. There's a call on the store phone. An employee tells me it's the phone, and I'm like yeah I heard it ring. He tells me he needs some help. He pulls me aside and says it's your wife and she sounds scared as hell. I jump on the phone. She tells me the man I had described, has been following her for over half an hour. When he first showed up, she said he was reaching for our daughter.
I immediately call security. They come up the middle with my employees standing watch on the entrance to J.C. Penney's. I go out the back into the parking garage which was no more than fifty feet away. Only two entrances to the store, front and back. Lots of emergency exits on the parking garage side. So the only entrance not covered was in the front. Luck would have it, a police officer had pulled someone over from the street and was in the front parking lot.
By this point, I don't want the gentleman to go away, I want him caught. Everyone starts converging on the store. He's got nowhere to go right. They walk to the station where my wife is surrounded by the store manager, and several employees and they have our daughter behind the counter. The police officer had been alerted. Mall security escorts both of them out of the store to me, we put them in our car and they drive straight to her mother's.
They continue to search the store every nook and cranny. He was never found. To this day I can remember every detail. But the detail that sticks with me most, is his eyes were coal black."
