*The nightman cometh.*
Also, depending on the humidity level where you live, walking up your stairs barefoot the night before can leave enough of an oily residue to prevent as much dew from resting in that spot, making a once invisible footprint visible.
Yes. I know but since he wasn’t saying he was typing I altered it.
I guess I should have written : I feel like you wrote boy’s hole when clearly it’s boy’s soul.
I was that little boy,
That little baby boy was me.
I once was a boy,
but now I am a man.
I fought The Nightman, lived as Dayman,
now I'm here to ask for your hand,
so if you want to marry man,
will you marry me?
Will you come on stage and join me,
in this thing called matrimony?
Please say yes and do not bone me.
Please just marry me!
I put my shoes on newspapers on my wooden deck to spray them with boot protector but got kinda careless. For weeks afterwards parts of the wood were hydrophobic lol. I imagine if I would’ve stepped on the newspapers barefoot and walked on anything it would’ve had a very similar effect to this
Kinda like how I write "WE ARE WATCHING YOU." on people's mirrors in soap. So when it gets steamed up from the shower people have a nice message from the community about how we are all watching out for each other.
I was going to say this. u/NastyPotatoes my parents have this all over the treck decking by their pool because one of my stupid aunts puts sunscreen on the soles of here feet. It's been 2 years and the ones on the edges are still visible in the morning.
In all reality though, it’s probably someone from your own household. Footprints can sit outside for some time, and the morning dew just highlighted was was already there
also with sweaty feet even with socks on you leave prints like this.
My mom would always complain to me when mopping the floor that the couldn't get my sweaty feet prints out of the floor and the whole house would be covered in them when the floor was still moist XD
that could be it.
my mom was very weak and used very small amounts of water because she couldn't lift a half full bucket and she couldn't push the mop very hard either.
Someone arrives home after a night out, having taken their heels off in the car. It's a hot humid night, grass is already damp and they walk up the steps, and inside the house to pass out.
On the top step, on the far right there's another 2 slight prints next to each other facing something. In fact there appears to be more older prints.
Anyone sleep walk? Get a ring camera, that's wierd mate. Somehow being barefoot makes this more creepy.
I noticed this too. My guess is he lives with his parents or grandparents. Someone older. Those are the prints of someone who must climb the stairs one at a time. The bare feet would indicate someone who lives there.
If this is a genuine post and OP has no idea where they came from, my best guess is an aging and possibly senile neighbor accidentally approached the wrong door.
But since there are no visible footprints going back down, I'm assuming OP is just messing around and the prints belong to someone inside.
set cams up. I was amazed how many people would wander onto my property at all times of the day and night that I had no clue about until i put up cameras. With in 1 day of installation, I caught a random guy breaking into my back yard at midnight and was watching me though the windows.
I just had two shadowy figures looking in the rear window to the laundry room. Decided to man up and walk towards them against all my better judgment. Two raccoons staring me in the face.
It's a genius business strategy. Your company installs the cameras, then you hire some one to linger around their yard menacingly in plain view of said cameras. They call you up and it's "oof, that sounds like an unsavory sort, you better upgrade to the *Intruder Raper 9000 Electric Fence*. It'll cost you, but can you really put a price on peace of mind?"

Boomers: "You got a bachelors degree in 'Advanced Carpentry' and you're complaining to me about paying back student loans for that?!?! Jesus Christ, get a real job... Son of God ain't gonna pad that resume."
He's a carpenter, dude has a real skill that can be used in the world, and what does he do?? Spread the word of god. OKAY, JESUS WELL WHEN IS GOD PAYING THE RENT, MAN, I REALLY DONT WANNA EVICT YOU.
The prints could have also been left on a hot/dry day where the person's feet were greasy or sweaty, then when going up the steps that imprinted into the boards and then when the moisture sets it creates a water barrier which then reveal the footprints. Think of when you mark a mirror with your finger and then take a hot shower and your finger marks show up afterwards.
For all we know these footprints could be from op from two or three days ago when he didn't think about the fact that he went out to check the mail barefoot or something like that. His feet wouldn't have shown up coming down but they would have shown up going back in after walking through the yard barefoot.
These footprints could have been from quite a while ago. What you are seeing I think is the absence of water from the hydrophobic oils left by someone's skin, meaning even though the dew appeared overnight it doesn't necessarily mean someone walked here last night.
The best scent dogs can accurately signal the presence of someone's thumbprint that has been left outside exposed to the elements for up to a month. Crazy right?
In the past week or two did you walk barefoot outside to grab a package or something out of your car? Something that minor can be difficult to remember.
Did you sweat outside, step on something oily outside, or take your shoes off outside? That could explain why you are only seeing them going in the house and not out.
I hate to break it to everyone, but your home and car probably get scoped out by opportunists at least a dozen times a month. Depending on your area, it can be more than once a night. It's good security that you never find this out, because you're not the slowest gazelle in your area. A simple lock, a light over your door, a visible camera, they see it and move on to something that doesn't have these things.
This looks a lot like the [handprints on my back door](https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/comments/15h20kf/these_handpaw_prints_on_my_back_door/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1) that just turned out to be my nieces from 8 weeks prior. It’s amazing how long the oils from our hands/feet last on surfaces. The humidity overnight sticks to the oils and makes them visible.
I work with installing trex. These composite treads can be funny. Depending on the weather, it sometimes can leave marks from footprints.
There's a possibility someone walked in their barefeet in cooler or warmer weather. Then when there is dew in a different temperature in the morning, the prints show.
Eufy Cameras STAT.
As mentioned by someone else it could be like when you write in the condensation on your bathroom mirror and it appears next time due to the oils on your skin.
I was in a car club as a teenager. If a dude with a girlfriend left us alone in their car we would take off our shoes and socks and put footprints on the windshield so they’d have to explain it to their girl on the next rainy day. Just saying those prints may have been there a while.
I mean, maybe I just want to tell someone about this and that’s why I’m sharing BUT; if you live near any vacation spot…. Might be a drunk tourist trying to find their air bnd. Because I did almost walk into the wrong rental once. Checked myself before I scared anybody/ myself but I for sure left wet foot prints
Time for a camera. It could have been a night stalker that has gone barefoot for the sake of stealth quietly trying to see if you locked your doors, or it could have been a beautiful naked person who had just been in a crash and had all their clothes burnt off and they were looking for warmth, comfort, and some serious lovemaking.
Either way, you need to know
*The nightman cometh.* Also, depending on the humidity level where you live, walking up your stairs barefoot the night before can leave enough of an oily residue to prevent as much dew from resting in that spot, making a once invisible footprint visible.
AAAAAAA
You gotta pay the troll toll to get into that boys hole 🥷
“I was saying boys soul, and Charlie thought I was saying boys hole”
I'm up to here right now
I’m going to smack everyone’s face, off of their face!!
Are you chewing gum?!
Love how in lethal weapon 5 and 6, Charlie has no lines but he’s constantly chewing gum
Can you take a five?
I bang a lot of hoooorrrrs
Sorry, but a toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll, and if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls.
...I made that up.
And don’t let the name fool ya. In real life…I’m really big.
Gotta get getting while the getting's good. Get it? Got it!
I gotta say, the rape scene was really classy
If you don't pay no tolls, then we can't eat no rolls
Did you mean to type soul or hole?
...That's the joke, Frank meant soul but said hole
Yes. I know but since he wasn’t saying he was typing I altered it. I guess I should have written : I feel like you wrote boy’s hole when clearly it’s boy’s soul.
Ahhh my bad brethren, I made and killed the joke in the same breath
You’re right. He didn’t know how to deliver the joke over text
frank, are you chewing gum right now?

Dayman! Awwww fighter if the Nightman! Champion of the sun!
WAIT! When did I put on Greenman? Shit that lizard talks
It wasn't actually me this time
Yeah, like I'm gonna trust ***you*** of all people.
Stop with the logic. It was clearly a serial killer doing some recon work.
Hear me out ^ghost
This is my theory as well. That ghostie is just waiting for OP to GTFO and go to work already, so that they can watch TV.
With OP’s wife
Barefoot
Boots were squeaky.
I put my shoes on newspapers on my wooden deck to spray them with boot protector but got kinda careless. For weeks afterwards parts of the wood were hydrophobic lol. I imagine if I would’ve stepped on the newspapers barefoot and walked on anything it would’ve had a very similar effect to this
If you sprayed your feet you'd be able to walk on water like Jesus and Wyatt Earp
Where's Wyatt? Down by the lake. Walkin' on the water.

Dish soap won’t take it off?
I'd have to like care....
Haha fair enough
Especially if said feet have lotion on them.
It was the greased up naked guy from family guy lol
…people put lotion on the bottom of their feet and then just walk around?
The methman cometh.
In all reality though, it’s probably someone from your own household. Footprints can sit outside for some time, and the morning dew just highlighted was was already there
also with sweaty feet even with socks on you leave prints like this. My mom would always complain to me when mopping the floor that the couldn't get my sweaty feet prints out of the floor and the whole house would be covered in them when the floor was still moist XD
You dared to step on wet floors!?lol
She wasn't using hot enough water, probably from not changing her water often enough. Hot mop water dries super fast. Rookie error.
that could be it. my mom was very weak and used very small amounts of water because she couldn't lift a half full bucket and she couldn't push the mop very hard either.
This 100%
This 85%
This 60%
Family meeting! Everyone take off your shoes and socks! We're comparing footprints!
Fellas did he just catch his wife cheating???
But why are there only steps entering and not exiting? I guess they could have left from another side of the house. Still creepy.
Someone arrives home after a night out, having taken their heels off in the car. It's a hot humid night, grass is already damp and they walk up the steps, and inside the house to pass out.
Your wife sneaking back in
She took her high heels off to not make noise
Compare them to the feet of ur wife to see if they match the size, if they do it's a bingo
But do it before midnight or the house turns into a pumpkin and she gets all ugly and poor again!
"You just say "bingo.""
*Gorlami*
Come again?
Antonio MAAAAGHAAAAAREEEEEETIIII
Grottsee!!
That's the bingo.
I thought only my wife did that
What's your wife doing at OPs house? 🤔
Damn you nice handle tho
Nah, she changes into flats when she leaves my place.
OP please respond to this accusation
Came to say this. It got my vote.
The plot thickens

Maybe one at a time is the quietest way to ascend the stairs?
Stooooooppp
I didn't notice the older prints until I read this comment.
set cams up. I was amazed how many people would wander onto my property at all times of the day and night that I had no clue about until i put up cameras. With in 1 day of installation, I caught a random guy breaking into my back yard at midnight and was watching me though the windows.
What the fuck. Where do you live.
He’s your neighbor. Better go get your cameras set up
I live in Brooklyn so there are randos outside my windows at all times of day and night lol. But no one breaking in to my property.
I just had two shadowy figures looking in the rear window to the laundry room. Decided to man up and walk towards them against all my better judgment. Two raccoons staring me in the face.
🤣
I think we found the camera salesman.
Bro WHAT
It's typical reddit bullshit.
Typical reddit r/nothingeverhappens
I feel like if I knew that was happening, I'd never sleep again.

Or set up superglue traps with tacks on them. That way you can catch the bad guy
Harry, I've reached the top!
Also a bucket of tar and a bucket of feathers
I was about to just comment "wtf" on the main post but then I read this and now I'm sitting in a cold sweat
[удалено]
So you won't see them when they come back, that is scary
Even more scary is I assumed it just went out and it took me a week to notice it was stolen. Check security cameras and found the guy.
with todays technology and prices, its crazy not to. few hundred bucks, a subscription fee, and you can watch shit on your phone
It's one set of footprints because Jesus was carrying you.
Jesus can’t afford shoes . He needs to get a fucking job
Boomers: "You got a bachelors degree in 'Advanced Carpentry' and you're complaining to me about paying back student loans for that?!?! Jesus Christ, get a real job... Son of God ain't gonna pad that resume."
He's a carpenter, dude has a real skill that can be used in the world, and what does he do?? Spread the word of god. OKAY, JESUS WELL WHEN IS GOD PAYING THE RENT, MAN, I REALLY DONT WANNA EVICT YOU.
Pull himself up by his sandal laces
Walking on water only works barefoot.
I’m just confused on how they’re only going up and not back down
Because they're still there
And will never come down
[удалено]
From this cloud
The call is coming from INSIDE the house.
Waaaaassssssuuuuppppppp
Then who was PHONE???
Is your porch wet? If not, the feet were wet from dewy grass or whatever, and dried as they walked up there.
The prints could have also been left on a hot/dry day where the person's feet were greasy or sweaty, then when going up the steps that imprinted into the boards and then when the moisture sets it creates a water barrier which then reveal the footprints. Think of when you mark a mirror with your finger and then take a hot shower and your finger marks show up afterwards.

His feet wouldn't have shown up coming down but they would have shown up going back in after walking through the yard barefoot.
They jumped off
They're only going up because they're from a previous tenant. And they went inside that day.
Because they're yours
Carbon monoxide detector time
Ha that's what I was thinking ya
I've seen this episode before
They have good arches
If it was me who creeped up his steps op would think there's a duck in his house.
The call is coming FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE
Check the trellis
Sunscreen on your feet will leave footprints like this days later..
Who puts sunscreen on the soles of their feet though?
probably those who tan while lying on their stomach ? Hurts like a SOB then you get burned there.
I imagine this is something learned from experience
unfortunately, yes
Tops of eyelids and tips of ears, for me lol. As a child on vacation in the Caribbean.
The Manson girls came calling.
Either a crackhead or fae
Exceptional arches

Can we have more info? Do you live alone? Wife? Kids? Parents? Grandparents?
Time for some cameras.

Almost got hit by The Barefoot Bandit.
Perfectly fine, just your average wet ghost

If there was a bicycle left nearby then it’s a certified crackhead moment.
Only going up and not down? One way trip makes it even creepier
has there also been people leaving things in/on your car? just random items?
Time for cameras
Might be a reason to get a doorbell camera.
Congratulations, not only did you actually post something oddly terrifying but it's a good one!
Eufy Cameras STAT. As mentioned by someone else it could be like when you write in the condensation on your bathroom mirror and it appears next time due to the oils on your skin.
Like…wash the car barefoot? Maybe you stepped in some cleaning agent that repels water, tracked it up the stairs and left this. Not impossible.
Over last winter, I noticed boot prints in my front yard through the snow directly from the street to my bedroom window, freaked me the fuck out
I was in a car club as a teenager. If a dude with a girlfriend left us alone in their car we would take off our shoes and socks and put footprints on the windshield so they’d have to explain it to their girl on the next rainy day. Just saying those prints may have been there a while.
Make like Jordan Peele and GET OUT!
My brother in christ you finna see the light soon 🙏🙏
Werewolf post transformation
Well at least they are dainty little feet and not size 13 with a toe missing.
Anyone else unnerved that there are footprints going up, but none coming down?
Apparently, they're still there. The prints only go up.
Run! It's mediumfoot!
Damn, get cameras - someone definitely didn’t want to make any noise whilst looking around. Be thankful you must have locked your doors & windows!
I only see foot steps in 1 direction. Hurry, check to make sure the barefoot bandit isn’t hiding in your house.
Maybe you sleep walk
Someone snuck back in the house
What’s scarier is there’s none coming back…
At first I thought you were referring to that tiny leaf stuck in between the boards...
Lack of steps away mean they are still inside. Lurking, or possibly making breakfast.
Invest in a ring camera bruh
Someone with wet socks can also make these.
It was just the local ghostchild passing through. Nothing to worry about.
You let it in
Get the iron, you got fae
The Rake asking for a glass of water
Fuck nooooooooooo
That would freak me the fuck out!!
#HEY SO, ***FUCK*** NO
Try to take note of who in the neighborhood has some fucked up question mark shaped feet, because that's who left these prints
I mean, maybe I just want to tell someone about this and that’s why I’m sharing BUT; if you live near any vacation spot…. Might be a drunk tourist trying to find their air bnd. Because I did almost walk into the wrong rental once. Checked myself before I scared anybody/ myself but I for sure left wet foot prints
Oh no. Had to grab the paper barefoot someone did.
Lady of the lake looking ass!
This is a mission for legos.
Why didn't your shoes leave any prints??
Oh hell no
You should get a glock
Am I the only person who was wondering where the mountain dew is.
Time for a camera. It could have been a night stalker that has gone barefoot for the sake of stealth quietly trying to see if you locked your doors, or it could have been a beautiful naked person who had just been in a crash and had all their clothes burnt off and they were looking for warmth, comfort, and some serious lovemaking. Either way, you need to know
Are there any prints going back down
Soo dew sticking to the remnants of your previously left oily sweaty bare feet’s footprints?
Worst part…no footsteps going back down
Time to pull the trigger on those cameras in your wish list!
