17 People Share What It Was Like To Meet A Murderer And What They Were Like
Murderers are often stereotyped as scary-looking, unhinged, problematic, or just plain downright strange. But the reality is that we wouldn't know if we were looking at one even if we were staring right at them unless we know what they've done.
And that's the scary part. These people who may have hurt someone or is on their way to do that, are just like everybody else.
They're like you and us. They can have great family situations, they can have tons of friends, they can be smart and charming, and they can be completely normal.
At one point, they might have not even been thinking about killing somebody. It's just that life took them to an utterly different turn.
You just really wouldn't know by looking at them that they've done something horrible. That's why a lot of people who have met murderers before they've committed their crime or even after are quite bewildered.
After all, people aren't always keen on meeting a murderer. It's not something you put on your bucket list.
And it's not also something you'd usually expect to happen in life. So when it does, it often sticks.
With that, here are the stories of some people who met real-life murderers and they share what the experience was like.

As proven by these stories, people who've taken the lives of others can be as normal and decent as can be. In fact, they can even be the people you'd want to be friends with or the people you'd want to be like.
That's what makes each of these chance encounters more chilling. These people could have been the targets and they wouldn't have ever seen it coming.
