Although the scenario of being hunted by a murderer is less likely to happen in reality, in order to protect yourself, you should also learn how to respond if you accidentally fall into this situation. Whether at home or in public, you can save yourself if you know how to find a good hiding place. Being prepared in advance can make your home safer if a killer breaks into your home.
Steps
Find a good hiding place
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e0/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-1-Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-1-Version-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e0/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-1- Version-6.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-1-Version-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Choose a place that can block the entrance. To prevent the killer from finding you, try to block the entrance to where you are hiding. Ideally, there should be a solid lock inside the door, and the door should open outwards so the killer can’t kick in. You may also want to block the door with other obstacles, such as heavy furniture. [1] X Research Source
- If it’s an inward opening, it’s crucial to block the door with heavy objects, as the killer could kick the door open.
- It’s good to keep killers out, but you also need to think of a way to escape in case they get in. Hideouts with two exits (such as doors and windows) are ideal. [2] X Research Source
- If you’re outside, you probably can’t block the way to protect yourself, but you can find a secluded spot where you can easily escape when needed.

Keep silent. Once you have found a hiding place, you need to do your best to avoid making any noise so that the killer cannot locate you. If there are many people hiding together, everyone should not talk. Also, make sure to put your phone on silent mode. [3] X Research Sources
- The stalker can still hear the phone even if you put it on vibrate! [4] X Research Sources
- Try not to yell at the murderer that you’ve called the police.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/21/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-3-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-3-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/21/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-3- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-3-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Hide where you are hiding. Find a way to make it difficult for the killer to find your location by turning off all the lights and closing all the windows and curtains. Try to pretend there are no people in that area. [5] X Research Sources
- You should also turn off any light sources, such as computer monitors.
- Although calling for help is a priority action, remember to pay attention to the light of the phone screen. If the killer is right outside the door, he can see it.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1a/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-4-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-4-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1a/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-4- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-4-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Avoid huddled together. If there are many people hiding together, everyone should spread out as far as possible. This will increase each person’s chance of survival if the killer gets to where everyone is hiding. [6] X Research Sources
- Remember to stay away from the window, as this is often the weakest point of the room.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4d/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-5-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-5-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4d/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-5- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-5-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Hiding inside, behind, or under something. If you want a good hiding spot in a blocked room, look for furniture or similar objects that can hide. The more hidden the hiding spot, the better.
- You can hide behind curtains (which are floor-length), behind a desk, or behind clothes hanging in a closet.
- Try hiding under the bed, under a pile of clothes, or under a blanket.
- Consider hiding inside a kitchen cupboard, in a washing machine, or in a large bin.
- If you are outside, you can hide behind bushes, under cars, in trash cans or under patios.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5b/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-6-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-6-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5b/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-6- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-6-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Hide “on the spot” if necessary. Fake death can also be an option if you can’t escape or can’t find a place to hide. This will only work if the killer has already killed many people. Lie among the victims and pray that the killer doesn’t realize you’re alive. [7] X Research Sources
- Lying on your stomach or in a dark place can be helpful, as the killer will have a hard time noticing if you move.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/80/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-7-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-7-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/80/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-7- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-7-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Call for help. As soon as it is safe enough to call for help, call emergency services for help. If you have a cell phone, you can call while hiding, as long as you are sure that the call will not reveal your hiding place. Hold on until the police arrive. [8] X Research Sources
- Operators should be provided with as much information as possible, such as where you are, the number of victims, and the type of weapon in the killer’s hand.
- When the police arrive, follow instructions and always raise your hand to show them that you are not a threat.
- If you’re afraid of making a loud phone call, text someone outside about the situation and ask them to call the police. Consider texting multiple people in case someone doesn’t see the message.
- If you are in the US, you can also text 9-1-1.
Apply other survival skills
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b0/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-8-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-8-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b0/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-8- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-8-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Run away if you can. If it is possible to get out of the building or scene where the killer is, it is better to run than to hide. Assess the position and see if you can get out of it safely. [9] X Research Source
- If others don’t want to run with you, let them stay. Don’t let them stop you from escaping.
- If you decide to run, don’t bring your belongings. Leave everything behind.
- Remember to hold your hand out for the police to see while you run away. If the police were there, they might mistake you for the killer.
- Run zigzag to make it difficult for the killer to shoot you if they give chase.
- Try to create as many obstacles between you and the pursuer as possible.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e3/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-9-Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-9-Version-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e3/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-9- Version-5.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-9-Version-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Aim for a safe place. If you decide to run away, it’s important to aim for a safer place than where you left off, in case the killer pursues you. You might just want to get out of there right away, but don’t leave without knowing where you’re going.
- If possible, run to a place where you can call for help. A safe location like a police station is best, otherwise a neighbor’s house is better than no place at all.
- Try to avoid running into your neighbor’s house if you are being watched. You probably don’t want to put your neighbors in danger by leading a murderer into their home.
- If there are no hiding places nearby, aim for the forest instead of running out into the open. You’ll have more places to hide in the woods. A large parking lot also gives you plenty of good hiding places.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d0/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-10-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-10-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d0/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-10- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-10-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Plan to strike back if the situation calls for it. In some cases, you will have no choice but to hit back at the killer. Usually this is not a good idea, unless your life is in immediate danger, but if this happens, do everything necessary to protect your life. [10] X Research Source
- If you decide to fight back, you need to fight to the end. Half-hearted attempts to fight back will only put you in more danger.
- Your aim is to disarm and/or incapacitate the killer, then run away as quickly as possible.
- If you have a gun, use it to defend yourself. Otherwise, you can neutralize the killer with pepper spray. [11] X Research Source
- If you must attack with bare hands, aim for the most vulnerable parts of the person: throat, eyes, groin, and abdomen. [12] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ee/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-11-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-11-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ee/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-11- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-11-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use improvised weapons. If you choose to fight back but don’t have a regular weapon, look around for items that can be used to take down the killer. The weapon you choose should be easy to use and effective. [13] X Research Source
- The backpack can be used as a shield or hit an opponent.
- Items such as baseball bats, umbrellas or large flashlights can also be used as weapons.
- Grab anything heavy to knock the killer unconscious.
- Use a fire extinguisher to spray the killer’s face to knock him down. [14] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/df/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-12-Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-12-Version-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/df/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-12- Version-7.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-12-Version-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Be cooperative if caught. If you are found by the other but cannot run away or fight back (for example, they have a gun and you only have a baseball bat), it is important now to know how to deal with them to increase your chances of survival . If the other person’s intent is primarily theft or other criminal intent, they probably don’t want to kill you unless absolutely necessary. [15] X Research Source
- Try to cooperate to the best of your ability. Do whatever the person asks, and don’t ask questions.
- Avoid making eye contact with them, as this can be seen as a threat.
- Don’t make sudden movements that make them think you’re going to fight back.
- Always look for opportunities to run away or neutralize the killer.
Plan ahead

House reinforcement. There’s not much you can do to make it safer in public, but you can strengthen your home to make it harder for strangers to enter. These measures can prevent a situation where a murderer must be hiding in the home. [16] X Research Source
- Make sure the doors and door frames are made of solid steel.
- If the door has glass, you need to make sure the glass is not broken.
- Close and lock the windows at night and when you are not in the room.
- Remember to leave lights on at night to keep intruders out.

Install a burglar alarm system. A burglar alarm system can ensure security and give homeowners peace of mind. This system can automatically alarm if someone breaks into the house, and often also causes the intruder to flee in fear. [17] X Research Source
- Some burglar alarms have an emergency mode that you can use to make an intruder think you’ve turned off the system, but you’re actually alerting the police.
- Ask your service provider how to sound the alarm if an intruder breaks into your home. In some cases, you can provide them with an alarm password, in other cases just entering the wrong password can trigger the alarm.
- Maybe you should also mount a security camera.
- Whether you have an alarm system installed or not, it’s a good idea to post a sign that says there’s a camera. This often acts as a crime deterrent like a real alarm.

Prepare a safe room in the house. It’s a good idea to design a safe room in the house to make sure the whole family knows it’s a place to hide in an emergency. [18] X Research Sources
- Safe rooms must have solid doors and solid locks inside. You can install steel doors for extra safety.
- Make sure the safe room is located in a place accessible to the whole family and away from the areas most likely to be entered by intruders. Wall cabinets or bathrooms near the bedroom are good choices.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fd/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-16-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from- a-Murderer-Step-16-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fd/Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-16- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Hide-from-a-Murderer-Step-16-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Keep important items in the safe room. In addition to designing a special room in the house to make a safe room and ensure the security of the area, you should also have the necessary things ready in case the killer breaks into the house. [19] X Research Source
- It’s a good idea to charge your phone in a safe room every night so you can call for help if you have to hide there.
- If you have a weapon, you should probably keep it in a safe room, too. If you don’t have a gun, leave some improvised weapons here.
Warning
- Don’t get out of the shelter before the police arrive. In many cases, you think it’s safe, but it’s not.
- If you have a gun, make sure you learn how to use it so you can shoot in an emergency.
- Never try to handle things yourself, unless absolutely necessary.
- Note that the probability of being hunted by acquaintances is much higher than that of strangers. If you think someone you know is trying to kill you, run away from them like you would other killers!
- Don’t talk while hiding. In the US, you can text 9-1-1 if it’s too dangerous to call the police from hiding.
- Don’t forget that whatever weapon you choose can be used against you.
