Creepy Camborne
Not too bad a place, right down in the depths of Cornwall though it's only claim to fame is the huge wasteland that was left behind with the closure of South Crofty tin mine.

Working as I did in my 2nd year of uni at the very oddly titled pizza place of Colonel Bulldogs meant that I often had late night finishes on a Friday.

After finishing work at about 1am and walking it home past the bus station and onto the main road, I was accosted by some local in his car who asked if I wanted a lift. I politely declined and carried on my way, only for him to turn the car round and start following me. I did what any sensible woman would do and started walking quicker to try and get rid of him.

Unfortunately for me, the house I was living in at the time was off the main road and down first one very poorly lit street and then a poorly lit driveway. As I turned off the main road, creepy pulled into the road behind me. I quickened my pace still further, hoping that I could get to the long dark driveway that led to one of our 2 front doors and escape him.

I managed to get onto the driveway and was nearly running by this point. Fortunately both my male housemates were still up, though a little worse for wear. As I ran in and between breaths told them what happened they both ran out the house before I finished to make sure he was not around.

Thankfully the freebies I was carrying home for our late night snack made it back to the house with no damage at all.
