She Went to a House Party in Ontario. Then She Didn’t Stop Running for Two Hours: ‘Maybe I Shouldn’t Have a Near-Death Experience.’

House parties often entail chaos, with people falling in pools or throwing up by the gutter at the end of the night. Sam (@sam_d0ll) recalled how she went to a party in Kingston, Ontario, which ended with her running off to a different city.

Sam told TikTok that she was just 19 at the time and had just started antidepressants. Because of the medication, Sam decided against drinking that night. She went in with one of her female friends, but she noted that she was three years younger than the people at the party. Most of them were already in their third year, while she was just a freshman.

“Do you want to hit a bowl?” A partygoer supposedly offered. Sam agreed, not thinking much about the offer.

“I hit the bowl, and as I’m exhaling, I lose all my vision,” she said. Sam described blacking out. She tried looking for her friend but couldn’t see, so she tried listening for her. Unfortunately, she also couldn’t hear her friend, so she decided to head out of the house.

“Also, this was 2010, so I don’t have an iPhone,” Sam said. She also claimed that she didn’t have data at the time, so she couldn’t look at Google Maps either. However, she remembered that her friend’s house was nearby. All she needed to do was walk straight, and she should be able to reach it without a hitch.

“So, I start walking. But then, I look at my legs, and I realize that my legs look like baby horse legs.”

Going from a party to the middle of nowhere

But then, strange things started happening. She was speaking, but the audio wasn’t lining up with her brain. She stared at her phone, and even the device became a source of confusion and wonder for her all at once.

“I start running. I don’t stop,” she said. Sam couldn’t see her phone and couldn’t call for help, so in her confusion, she ran. Sam couldn’t stay still either because when she did, it felt overwhelmingly still and it freaked her out.

She ran up until a certain point. Sam didn’t make it to her friend’s dorm—she said she ended up in a rural neighborhood. With a cooler head, she was finally able to figure her phone out and called her friend, telling her where she was.

“You’re not even in Kingston anymore. How did you get there?” Her friend asked her. She told her friend that she merely ran.

“Were you running for two hours?” Her friend followed up. Sam ran so much farther away than she anticipated. People under the influence of certain drugs could end up in unexplained situations. One woman from Michigan even recalled taking acid and finding herself standing on top of a hospital gurney. But Sam didn’t even drink at this party, which made the situation odd.

At this point, Sam was sobbing because she was in an unknown area in the dead of night. Luckily, a van pulled up, and inside was a family. When she asked if they could take her to downtown Kingston, the woman agreed.

From downtown, she took a cab to her friend’s dorm. The next day, her friend from the party told her that some guys had told her that they laced the bowl she smoked with crack.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have had a near-death experience and smoked crack by accident,” Sam said. If anything had gone wrong, it could have easily been the start of a true crime documentary.
