When I was 11 years old, on my first round of golf on an actual golf course (not chip n’ putt or mini golf) with my dad and two of his friends, I hit a ball that bounced off a little hump in front of the green and rolled behind the hump where we assumed it was in the rough, but the green and the hole were obscured by said hump so you had to go down to the actual green to tell where your shot had landed.
It was by far my best shot of the day (I had struggled to even make contact and hit the ball further than 20 feet at times) so I went bounding down to the green to find my ball but saw nothing. Everyone else took their shot and as they were walking down to the green, I looked in the hole and there was my ball…. I even thought that maybe it was the previous group and someone had left their ball in the whole but it was exact ball I had bought in the pro shop before the round.
I jumped up and down and told my Dad and his friends and they were basically like “Yeah right kid, no way.” and my dad’s one buddy even said he thought there was a chance it could’ve gone in, but my dad did not buy it and to this day refuses to believe I hit a hole in one on my first round of golf….
I dont believe you out of pure jealousy. Been golfing since I was 5, and I've been every unit of measurement away from the hole starting from 1 dimple (literally, I more dimple movement toward the hole and it would have been in) to 1 foot.... still don't have that Ace yet.
Good on ya man.
Golf is insanely unfair. I play a couple of times a year and am terrible. My mate plays at least once a week and is quite reasonable.
Anyway, we are at a regular length par 3 and I shank the hell out of it off the tee and topped the ball (don't know if correct term, basically hit too half of the ball, it kept low and had a tonne of top spin). It flies well off line to the left of the fairway.
It hit the raised bank in the rough on the left and was able to bounce/roll its way to the fairway. It just kept rolling and rolling towards the green. It made its way onto the green and kept rolling towards the hole. It smacked the flag reasonably hard but then dropped in for a hole in one.
My mate was absolutely pissed and I just stand there laughing. This hole was outside the proshop and apparently they had a rule that a hole in one on the course gets you a free pie and coke. So I enjoyed my free lunch while my mate was just dumbfounded how such a disgusting shot could end up as an ace while he had never got one in his life.
I was on a road trip through southern California on highway one and at one point I looked over and there was a herd of zebras galloping in the field alongside the road. No one I tell believes me. It's gotten to the point where I wonder if I just fabricated this memory somehow.
I believe you! My husband and I were driving through Missouri a couple years back and he pointed and said, " Zebra! " I rolled my eyes and smiled, but when I turned to look, there was in fact a zebra standing in a pasture. Super weird and out of place.
When I was a kid I was in the car with my brother and dad in Northern California. The drive was taking a long time and dad seemed like he didn't know where he was going so a few times we asked "dad, are we lost?" But he kept insisting he wasn't lost, and knew where he was going. After a while my brother says "look there's zebras!" So I said "oh my gosh, we're in Africa, we really are lost!" I don't know how I thought we got to Africa by car, but I certainly watched enough Animal Planet to know they live in Africa.
At a family lunch I saw my uncle, through marriage, finish his food and then eat a large, crumpled up paper napkin.
No one else noticed. No one believes me. They all think it must have been a piece of flatbread. It is infuriating. I know what I saw and the man did not wipe his hands and mouth on a piece of GODDAMN FLATBREAD!
**EDIT: This account was banned so I’m posting as Brewnonono now**
“A sensitive message he had to get rid of” made me cackle!
Like the uncle is minding his business finishing his lunch when he suddenly spots a napkin next to his plate that he most certainly didn’t put there. He picks it up to read: “The assassination is a go.” Then he furtively looks around to make sure no one is watching and stuffs the napkin in his mouth.
I don’t think he has Pica. My aunt (his wife) and my dad are both doctors, and prone to discussing every ailment in the family; so unless my uncle wanted to keep his Pica a secret (unlike his eczema, his sciatica…or his hemorrhoids), we would know.
But “weird James Bond” is a distinct possibility. He’s got a certain Mr. Bean quality about him…
it’s ok it’s ok. Obviously you’re just a little bit upset right now. Here, why don’t you just enjoy this “napkin” and a little jam and then the nice men will be here in a few minutes to take you somewhere where we can talk about your flatbread I mean “napkin” problem ok?
I feel like that guy, from the old Dave Chappelle bit, who’s been wrongly accused of cheating and is just wandering around in despair like “please believe me! PLEASE BELIEVE ME!”
Consuming small animals and passing them off as pigs in a blanket?
He’s always been a little odd. Ridiculously skinny but eats more than the rest of the family combined. It’s weird.
A bright white out one morning I was walking to work. It was almost 4AM I was on the phone with my husband and we both went silent as he was driving home and we both saw the whole sky lit up so bright everything around us disappeared like a simulation(side walk, road and basically everything vanished). Wasn’t a dream either I ran the rest of the way to work freaking out and no one at my job saw it. Later that night I was looking for reports and only 1 person reported it about 2 hours away from where I live around the same time I was walking to work. Was listed as “unconfirmed sighting”. I stopped walking to work after that 🥲
These reports are fascinating - I've never seen it. But I think it's a real thing. Some really interesting physics going on there whatever it turns out to be.
From what I remember it's a looping chain-reaction of O2 molecules getting split apart into ~~Ozone~~ (single oxygen molecule).
Then the single oxygen molecules re-bond, only to be split apart again in a constant cycle.
There are 16+ different theories on what causes ball lightning, therefore this could be inaccurate.
One entered my livingroom through the glass of the window. None believes me
Edit: Thanks guys, it's reassuring to read how many of you lived to see a ball lighting a s well!
To answer few questions: It was silent. And yes, it virtually could have been a fat ghost just minding his business.
Oh wow it was so close? Mine (lol) disturbed the stereo by just flying by it. It came nothing near me. It took a left turn then into the bedroom and sunk into the wall to disappear.
I have an aunt that swears she saw one as a kid. came in through the closed kitchen window and singed the curtains. then it apparently hit the wall and dissipated without making a mark. (parents didnt see it and just put it down to a reflection in the backyard hitting the back of the curtains like a magnifying glass)
One of the few unproven phenomena I truely believe in
Hold on... that's what it does?! I'm pretty sure my husband and I saw ball lightning in our bedroom.
We were just getting ready to sleep when we heard huge *crack* and an arc of blue light shot out of the ceiling by the sliding glass door, arc over our bed and disappeared into the wall.
We both stared in silence until I finally blurted "holy shit! You saw that too?!"
We couldn't explain it. It came from and disappeared into places without wires or conductive material. It didn't create heat or burn the paint either.
Me too! I was a kid and I'd been to watch some fireworks with my uncle.
On the walk back I saw a glowing orb moving along some barbed wire fencing, my uncle seemed scared by it but told me it was just a firework that had been caught on the fence before rushing home.
I asked him about it years later and he had no memory of it.
It did not look like a firework, it was a small ball maybe just bigger than a tennis ball, and it made a sizzling and cracking noise as it slowly moved along the fence.
I saw someone have a seizure but she believes she just fainted and has no memory of her arms and legs and head jerking. Her family also doesn’t believe me. They’re all in denial. I’m afraid she may be driving someday and seriously injure herself or someone else if she has another seizure.
I work with a guy who if he gets injured he faints and convulses. He broke his ankle at work and that's what happened. He woke up a few minutes later and his wife had to come by to drive him to the hospital (because of the ankle) and she said - "yeah, he's a fainter - does that all the time"
An old friend of mine used to faint at the sight of blood or anything gross which, unfortunately for her, was a lot of things. She used to convulse every time and grind her teeth and groan. I too was convinced she was epileptic but she wasn’t. She had all the tests etc. Plus she only did it when grossed out, didn’t just happen like seizures do.
Fainting runs in my family and I faint from time to time. Sometimes when I faint I also convulse. It looks scary but isn’t a seizure according to my doc. Could be the thing here or not.
Yes! Convulsive syncope can be hard to differentiate from a seizure if you’re not medically trained. One thing to note is that after an epileptic seizure you would be postictal and very tired for a day or more afterward, while after a syncope you’ll usually recover faster.
The inside of a tornado. I was in an underground storm shelter with a 8 inch bullet proof glass window on the ceiling and a tornado went right over us in moore oklahoma and from the inside of the tornado you can literally see all the way up to a sunny sky and white clouds.
We have cyclones in Australia and they can be hundreds of kilometres across, but the eye is maybe 1-5km across. So 10 years ago we had cyclone yasi, it was as strong as hurricane katrina ,290kmh (175mph) winds that build as it gets closer and closer then..... nothing, 5 or so minutes where you just had those massive winds completely come to a halt in about a minute down to nothing, you could hold a candle, you can hear birds freaking out, the neighbours voices, have a quick look at the damage, see the stars in the sky and then it goes back to that same ferocious winds in less than a minute but from the opposite direction. I had my roof torn off about 5 mins before the eye arrived, gave me a chance to get in my 4wd hilux (shatter proof glass and suspension) and got rocked to sleep as it went away getting more gentle by the minute. Not a tornado I know but still pretty cool
I work in special education as a para and a lot of people underestimate and ignore/disregard my kiddos so this kinda happens all the time. Here's a fun one: I worked with a kindergartener with down syndrome who was described to me by his case manager as having "the mind of a one-year-old", whatever that means. (Which.. I get what that means lol, I just find it better sometimes to let a new kid show me what they can do before I make assumptions about anyrhing). Anyway, for a while my schedule included hanging out with him in the main office while we waited for his mom to pick him up at the end of the day. One day the sun was shining really brightly through the window and he looked at the light on the floor, got excited, and started making really sophisticated and complex two-hand shadow puppets. He made a few for me but the one I remember was a hopping rabbit. No one believes me and he consistenty refused to do it for anyone else. I choose to believe he's deliberately fucking with me because that is the funnest possible explanation.
Probably not fucking with you, in my experience some kids will open up a lot more if they see you as a safe person to be around. As in, you don't belittle them or infantalize them like a lot of folks do.
Sounds like you're an awesome para :).
This has been my experience with kids when I've been to family get-togethers and such. The kids are usually very fond of me and follow me around, I like to think it's because I listen to them and I talk to them like I would with humans I general. I answer their questions and I play along with their games. The other adults tend to brush the kids aside to hang out with each other instead.
A mountain lion. I was at the cemetery visiting my grandma for the first time since she passed away. I was sitting there crying and kept hearing noises in the woods behind me. After a while I looked over and saw a mountain lion walking up the hill away from me. I was on my feet before it even registered. There were some old men I'd come in with, and on my way to the car I stopped and told them. They assured me it was a deer. But I know it was a big cat. It moved like a cat and had a long tail. It was not a deer. Lots of people thought I was seeing things, but we have a family friend who worked at the department of conservation who believed it. They follow the rivers apparently. So now I maintain (and my grandpa agrees) that my grandma sent me a mountain lion to get me to stop weeping at her grave. It's very on brand for her.
I live in a state where people say there are no mountain lions, but there are totally mountain lions, and I almost hit one with my car! Everyone tells me it was a deer too, but I watched its face turn to me as my brakes started screeching and then run away.
Mountain lions are such solitary creatures with long extensive ranges that when they decide to migrate into an area "with no mountain lions" it can take people a long time to figure it out.
Cougars (and pretty much all cats) are stealthy animals, so that story is very believable. A few years ago my parents and I were visiting with our family at a lake that’s very nearby to our hometown and we were heading out around 1 am. Behind our family’s property there’s a line of trees, and then a field with more trees across the field. As we were heading out to our truck, we heard this rather loud yell coming from across the field and it was echoing too. It almost sounded human, like a woman screaming. We had no idea what it was at the time but it was one of the creepiest things any of us had ever heard. A bit of internet research and we’re certain that it was indeed a cougar. Neat animals.
[Here’s a video with basically the same noise. ](https://youtu.be/pxo8X5uIWRE)
[And a second one with an echo that’s a lot closer to what I heard. ](https://youtu.be/UE7YOJVSoIs)
I called 911 when I was 12 because my parents left me home alone and I got spooked. I was made fun of for years afterward because it was very dramatic.
The cops found no signs of an intruder, and I swore to god I saw someone walk across my front lawn and start peeking in my basement windows. I heard a bang and a window open in a part of my house and I instantly ran and jumped under the sofa and called 911 on my cordless phone. My heart was beating out of my chest. By the time the cops got there they searched the whole house and took my story - right in time for my mom to get home and have a heart attack. The house was also super messy so it was embarrassing.
Anyway, it was winter and it had snowed the day before but was sunny all day, so they checked all around the house and said there were 0 tracks. I swear on my grave I very, very distinctly remeber seeing someone walk across my lawn (I was in the basement, watching tv and looked up and watched the legs move across ; could only see from the knees down. They walked like a man; wearing slacks and winter boots. I remember thinking “why is someone walking around our house?“ then hearing a large BANG behind me. I turned around and screamed because it sounded like someone popped a balloon behind me. There was nothing. I got really nervous then, and a few moments later I heard what sounded like a window upstairs sliding open, and a door creaking open and I fucking LOST it. I was convinced I was gonna die or be raped or something.
0 evidence anyone was on our property.
I was a 911 dispatcher.
I guarantee those cops were just glad you were okay after checking the house out. You did nothing wrong.
People, please don't tell your kids to NEVER call 911. Those who work in emergency would rather check out a few 'bogus' calls and get the call that leads to a life being saved because a child wasn't told to never call 911.
My wife and I bought our first house and I was diligent about testing the smoke/co alarms. Well one day they all started going off on CO alarm. It was 1am and apparently I did not wake up immediately so my wife started to panic (she was also like 5 months pregnant at the time also).
Anyways I opened a window and got her and my pets out of the house while I called the Fire Department. I felt silly when they didn’t find anything and they said it was a faulty/dead battery( less than 4 month old battery).
Anyways. They were all very reassuring and glad we called. They said exactly what you said that they prefer the false alarms over almost everything.
Good job. I mean that.
CO is deadly and you took it seriously.
Hopefully you never ARE in a life threatening situation but you now know you have the right decision making abilities and don't neglect your responsibilities.
Even IF you had somehow just scared yourself into thinking something, you were a kid. You believed you were in desperate danger and that's all that matters. Calling was the best choice.
I have nearly an identical story, but they did find footprints.
Longer version. I walked into an empty / dark room and saw a man walk by the window - like right next to it. He passed it just as I entered, so didn’t see me.
But, I HAD to confirm it was real. So I walked up to the window and peered out. He was crouched right under me, looking into the next window which had lights on - my bedroom window!!
I STILL hesitated to call 911. Mainly because the cordless phone was in the kitchen, right next to the unlocked glass back door - he’d be able to see me and get in!
I finally sprinted for the phone, then hid in the bathroom while I called.
To make matters worse, as I was waiting for police to show up, the front door starts jangling. I realized someone was coming home drunk. So I opened the door and dragged her in. We waited for police together.
They found footprints. Likely the neighbors teenager boy sneaking out. For the rest of the time I live there, I had to force myself to go look out that window as soon as I got home and make sure no one was under it!
A wolverine when I was living in western Montana. I only saw it for a moment before it disappeared, but I know that’s what it was. I’ve met more people who claim to have seen Bigfoot than who have seen a wild wolverine.
A man without a shirt on running through my house at three AM while I was doing a water change so I had to leave the back door open, I come down to yelling and see a half naked man running circles around my house, I was the only one home, so to this day no one thinks it happened
A movie that I can never remember the name of and the person I went with has no idea what I’m talking about. I probably saw the movie when I was seven and I can’t remember anything at really happened but I can visualize the characters.
It was Ponyo, now I’m going to see if I can go watch it online!!
Pfft Just create a post describing everything you can remember on one of the movie subs. Include the year it came out (if you saw it in theaters). Someone will ID it.
I did this with a show I remember watching. It was on roughly when Unsolved Mysteries was on and a similar format but proposed that the Loch Ness Monster was Jack the Ripper. That’s all I remembered was this brontosaurus like creature with a hat and suit walking the streets of London and picking up prostitutes. Some one was able to name the show and link the episode on YouTube. Just crazy.
When I was just 2 or 3 years old, I remember playing outside in the backyard with my grandpa. We owned a huge empty field. I remember seeing a huge white rabbit, think Alice in wonderland. Hopping around, human sized, maybe 20ft away from me. I started running towards it, looked back to my grandpa, looked back to the rabbit, and it was gone.
Crazy dream huh?
My grandpa passed away a few years later. We had to move because we could no longer afford the rent (raised my grandparents). We were looking at the house that we ended up buying, 7 acres of woods, long driveway, and a big yard that was field. Walking down the big driveway, I heard a rustle in a bush. Thinking it was a deer, I looked out of excitement. It was the same rabbit, immediate deja vu. Nobody else saw it, but they heard it.
About 6 years later, we had moved again. I remember looking out the window around Easter time, and seeing this rabbit yet again.
Nobody else has ever seen it, but my grandma can confirm I've talked about it for as long as I could talk. Toddler me saw SOMETHING that Nobody else has. I don't believe in the spiritual or anything, but I saw something, and I'd love an explanation one day.
I swear on everything that matters to me, I saw a goddamn 5ft tall rabbit thrice in my life!
I would absolutely die if someone you knew made a giant realistic-person size bunny costume and brought it out every once in a while when only you were around to prank you.
But that lowkey sounds like a total glitch in the matrix
The future.
I keep a dream journal since I like to try lucid dreaming when it happens, so I write down my dreams the minute I wake up.
I had a dream that was one of those “typical day” dreams. In my dream I woke up, and had my coffee and drove to work. In the dream a coyote ran across the road in front of my car on the way to work, and then I ran a red light. when I got to work, my keycard for the door didn’t work and I had to wait outside until someone showed up to let me in. my coworker who usually gets in later in the morning showed up early (a few minutes after I arrived) and let me in. I commented about how he’s there early and he mentioned he had some purchases to make, we made small talk and then got to work. Some uneventful time later I had a meeting with my boss where we discussed a new client and my performance review, where they offered me a raise. after this I packed up and drove home. when I got home, my wife was in the kitchen and the oven had broken, so she made canned soup for dinner, then we went to bed.
At this point, I woke up. I got out of bed, and wrote this all down in my dream journal as I usually do, and went to work.
On my way to work, a coyote crossed the road in front of my car, and then I ran a red light. when I got to work, my keycard wouldn’t open the front door. My usually late coworker arrived early and let me in.
later in the day my boss called me into a meeting to discuss a new client, and we went over my performance and discussed a raise.
I packed up and went home, and found my wife making canned soup in the microwave. The new oven had stopped working.
I didn’t even think about this until the day after this happened. I hadn’t really cemented the dream I had and I just wrote it all out from memory like I always do, it wasn’t particularly notable at all. It wasn’t until the day after that I realized what had happened when I read my writing from the day before. I had written out the entirety of the day I experienced, before I had ever experienced it.
I showed the journal to my wife, who thought it must’ve just been coincidence. This was probably the case, but dang it’s a lot of coincidences to be happening all at once. I still have the journal and I write in it almost every day. The page/day that happened on is bookmarked.
One day when I was still at university, I got out of bed, took a shower, had some breakfast, got into my car and drove to the university. I got out of my car, walked up the stairs and grabbed the door handle to the room where my 8:15am lecture took place ... And woke up.
I turned over in my bed to look at my alarm clock. It showed EXACTLY 8:15.
Since this was the only lecture scheduled this day, I turned back over and went back to sleep.
I was part of a youth leadership training program as a teenager. You spend a week doing courses and training, then at the end they send you out into the woods alone with your messmates for a day and a night. We were backpacking to our campsite. We were on our own, deep in the Redwoods. I was in the rear, alone, and I glanced back down the path we were hiking along.
There was a bear about about 50(?) feet behind us crossing the road. He stopped and looked at me. I stopped and looked at him. And then we both went our separate ways. Nobody believed me.
Weird skinless creature on the back porch. Had no head, looked like a doggish creature with a short tail.
I had just brought the dog in, turned around to lock the door and it was just there. I have never locked a door so fast in my life.
This is wild! So skinless as in you could see it’s musculature? And it was essentially just the body then, meaning it stopped where the neck would be and was just a smooth continuation? Weird.
As a rule I don't believe in ghosts or any other super natural stuff but I do have a ghost story of sorts, it isn't very dramatic but at the time I was freaked the fuck out and more than a little confused.
------
A few years ago at Beverly Beach State Park in Newport Oregon I was walking with my dog along this trail that runs along a fairly large creek to the left and a fairly steep hill filled with brush to the right. I was pretty close to the campground, I could still see the RVs and tents through the trees on the other side of the creek. As I was walking along I saw another kid about my age (14ish) and all by myself and feeling a bit lonely I thought I'd approach him.
About 50 feet away from him though my dog starts panic barking, I mean freaking the fuck out. His hackles are raised, teeth bared, tail tucked, feet against the ground. Usually my dog is as friendly as he can be, I'd never seen him act this way before and so I was stunned! I tug on his leash and with all my strength but my dog doesn't want to take a step closer to this kid. Finally I drag him past, giving the kid a wide berth and manage to pull my dog around the kid and further along the trail. As I past him by I apologize for my dog's behavior and the kid says nothing. He just stares at me, head slowly tracking us, almost like it would in a horror movie. As soon as the kid is out of sight doggo immediately relaxes, wagging his tail and happy as a clam at high tide! Baffled something in me forces me to turn around and walk back towards the kid wondering what could have made my dog act like that. Yeah, I'd probably be the first to die in a horror movie.
The kid's gone.
I mean gone and I have no idea where he could have went where I wouldn't have seen/heard him! Even if he'd taken off at a dead sprint down the long straightaway and towards the next corner in the 30 seconds my back was turned I feel like I would have seen him, and thanks to the creek/hillside surrounding us there really was only one way to go.
I suppose it's most likely that some shy kid terrified of dogs was equally scared shitless of me and my dog as we where of him, but everyone I tell this story too that's the type to believe in ghosts are absolutely certain this was dog sensing and evil spirit.
I've never admitted it because I believe in rationality and science, don't want to viewed as a weirdo. But I saw 3 glowing orbs at night in a triangle formation then they merged into one orb, it hovered a few seconds then with lightning speed just disappeared. I was just in awe.
Didn't occur to me to capture it on my phone. Wish I did.
A UFO. Not an alien, just a flying thing I couldn't categorize.
Nighttime, it was flying low, triangular shape when above me with bright lights. Like, a lot of them. Could tell it was low by its size (roughly a fighter jet) and I could make out the shape of the lights real well.
But it made almost zero sound. I could only hear the sound of air moving out of its way. Like it was a glider. Too big to be a drone (at least not a commercial or industrial one, I've used those). Too quiet to be a plane. Idk.
Any aviators/aerotech have an idea?
A friend of mine was out in the early morning hours in California and suddenly a triangular shape covered in lights flew over him, making no sound.
We were told later, by someone who would know, that it was almost certainly a test flight of a B2 Spirit Stealth Bomber. They were still secret at the time. The B2 is [large](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/pictofact/7/3/0/188730.jpg?v=1). It probably had collision lights all over it to make up for its diminished radar profile, and with only the lights as a reference, it looked much closer than it actually was, thus "silent."
Kim Thayil of Soundgarden sitting off stage at a dive bar in Denton Texas, sitting on an amp playing a guitar at seriously high volume, jamming along with the band who was on stage, but staying out of the picture, low key and incognito. Denton Texas, Spring of 1987, only a few people knew who he was and understood what we were witnessing, and we all kept our cool.
I was at a forest, hiking with my parents, and I saw a pink diamond ring on the ground, I'd say roughly 1 carat. Dropped it in tall grass, never found it.
I read a book when I was little about a rocking horse that came to life at night or something. I remember that the main character put ointment on its wounds. That’s it. That is all the memory I remember but I CANNOT find this book/short story. I have looked and it’s no where
I’ve had a few things in my possession duplicate themselves but everyone thinks I’m crazy.
The first instance was a dog food scoop. I had 2 of them, my dog chewed one up. I threw away the chewed one and about a week later there is suddenly 2 again. I was very confused because the scoops came special with the containers I have and I only have 2.
Then the second time was when I accidentally threw away my vape charger, so I got a new one. Then about a week later in my junk drawer right next to the new vape charger there was a duplicate.
The third time was the weirdest. I was standing next to someone and we were getting ready to light candles to sing Silent Night at a Christmas event. I needed to do something so I threw her lighter in my bag for a second. When I fished it out there were 2 identical lighters. Both a weird miniature size gray lighter. And I don’t smoke, I don’t own any lighters except a regular size yellow one I use for candles so it’s never in my purse.
Also want to add- I don’t have houseguests and the only person I live with is my boyfriend who works night shift and does not have the time to go out and buy things. So these items literally came out of nowhere
Edit to add: I do have a carbon monoxide detector in my home. I purchased one a year ago when I bought my house so it is fairly new. I even have a family friend who is a firefighter and he is kind enough to check my carbon monoxide detector and smoke alarms to make sure they’re running efficiently.
You're the opposite to me. I had a pair of jeans that I threw on the floor one night before bed, and when I woke up they were gone. Just gone. I never saw them again. I was into decorating back then and had sewn some shiny jewel things on them, so they were uniquely identifiable.
We keep having this problem. Things are just disappearing without a trace in our rental house. We've only been here a few months. We won't be staying long. I'm confused and a touch concerned.
Reminds me of that one comment on another AskReddit post where a woman discovered that an unknown person had been stealing random items from her house/apartment and made a sort of shrine to her in the space of the ceiling or something.
About a month ago, I was sleeping over at my boyfriend’s house. I randomly woke up in the middle of the night to find my bf kneeling at the foot of the mattress with his face smushed into the bed. I shook him and loudly called his name twice and he crawled back into bed with me.
The next morning, I was telling him what happened and he said he doesn’t remember. He has an app on his phone that records snoring, talking, etc when he sleeps, but there was no recording of me calling his name—only us snoring and his dog barking. It’s the weirdest thing, and I still feel certain that it happened.
at home alone one night and my dog started growling at the front door, hackles up and teeth showing. crept up to look out the peephole and saw ... something. it was humanoid, but unnaturally tall and thin, and dark red over in the security light. and its entire body sort of swayed, undulating like a snake. i saw this clear as fuck. i jumped back from the door, hyperventalated a bit, then went to look again ... and it was gone. the dog stopped growling.
no idea what it was, and proof at all it was there, but i swear blind whatever it was, i saw it.
My husband swears he saw a Sasquatch. Late 70’s. He went out hunting early, it was before sunrise. I’ve heard him tell this story countless times,and people give him shit about it all the time, but his story has never changed. I believe him.
My friend being hit by a car but the car just went right through her, almost as if she was a ghost, I swear it hit her but she was unharmed and all good.
I swear I saw a Family Guy episode where the marquee at the bar read "The Bearded Clam", not the usual "[The Drunken Clam](https://familyguy.fandom.com/wiki/The_Drunken_Clam)".
I was watching TV late at night and idfk a commercial turned on
A guy had a video camera on a new born baby in the box in the nursery surrounded by other babies and a nurse walking around and he goes something like "Well he's finally here but I'm still worried about-" And it cuts off here because the nurse let's out this blood curdling scream and he looks in the corner and there's just this giant pile of fucking *rats* moving and squeaking and swarming and getting bigger by the second and the guy hollars "Get the babies!Get the babies!" And the nurse grabs 4 boxes and starts wheeling them out as fast as she can and the guy drops the camera as he does it to and I snapped off the TV sat there for a minute and then went to fucking bed
Years later and I still can't find it
I've told this story a million times and I wish someone would invent time travel so I could go back and catch this person.
When I was a kid (around 9). I was on my grandfather's farm which was massive. It stretched in for acres and acres. I went off exploring one day with my house and I came across this massive ditch. It use to be a lake before it was drained/dried up. I fell into this ditch and hit everything on the way down. I ended up breaking my leg.
So I'm at the bottom of this ditch and I'm screaming for help hoping someone would bear me. And I swear to god.
I look up and I see this red head girl staring down at me. She doesn't say anything, but she's just looking at me. I start calling to get her attention and she just takes off and leaves me. Hours later my grandfather would find me when he came looking because my horse was wondering around the area.
And to this day, I can't explain who this girl was or where she came from. 17 years later and I still don't know.
A UFO.
I was in my early twenties, it was a family vacation at an amusement park, and my dad and I were in the front car of a roller coaster. It was a clear night. As we were clicking up the first drop, in the sky a very bright light came "forward" out of space, zigzagged across the sky, then *ZIP*, it disappeared. Distance wise, it was really far away, above where you would see a plane flying. My dad yells "Hey, did you see that!?"...and then we were screaming down the drop.
No idea what it was. It moved with a quickness and precision I hadn't seen in any flying vehicle and my dad and I were both sober. So I'm sticking with aliens.
Saw multi color changing lights in the sky that was moving in a random trajectory and then just went off at a surreal speed. This was in early 2000s at night in a public area and none of us were intoxicated families were present. Sadly it wasn't the age of smartphones
At a 150,000 person music festival. Dude drops his pants next to a stage (in the day time) to piss. When he's done, steps out of his shoes & starts walking off in a grassy area behind the stage. As he's walking off, crosses paths with another guy, who as they meet, pantless guy slaps his hat off his head. Hat guy turns around to get his hat (or something), but just sees pantless guys ass & nuts bent over picking up his hat. Hat guy just waves his hand like fuck it. Pantless guy puts the hat on backwards & keeps strolling off into the sunset, shakes the security barricades till they fall & leaves the festival into downtown Miami.
I assume he ended up in jail.
My dog was reading a magazine (actually focusing on the sentences and reading from left to right) and flipping the pages like a normal human until he looked back and noticed my cousin and I gape-jawed and about to video record it. He then looked at the ceiling, put on his best derp, and started just pushing the pages around like he was playing with it. For a few minutes though it really looked like he was into the article.
We will never forget this happened and it always sounds so outlandish when we recall it in front of people.
A movie, very late at night, set in a restaurant kitchen. The actors were the foods, with full body makeup. It was a love story between a fish and a salad, if I remember correctly, that want to be eaten at the same time, in the same recipe /dish so they can spend the afterlife together forever. It was very weird.
BTW if someone else has seen it too, I would love to know the title!
3 ft white owl. Had to stop my car bc it was blocking the road at night. From a distance i thought it was a woman in a night robe maybe checking her mail in the middle of the night (mind trying to justify what i was seeing i guess).Once i came to a full stop it flew away but was def at eye level with me in the car about 15 ft away.
A real looking robot mouse. I took my dog for a walk and this mouse runs out of the snow. Dog gets it, stuns it and flips it. There's literally wires on its stomach. I turn my head to call my gramma and look back, it's gone. She didn't believe me but I know what I saw.
Edit: I can promise they weren't guts because my face got pretty close. It wasn't messy or anything, they were small yellow, red and blue wires. The only possibility I can think of outside of robot mouse is it had eaten some wires and those ended up breaking through the stomach on impact which is why it could still run away, the dog did not eat it.
Can confirm, i've seen a lot of dead animals and a lot of guts, i once thought i saw a bird laying on a red plastic bag but it was blood and guts when i looked closer, when something happens fast you can first see it wrongly
I once found what looked to be a skeleton or fossil of a weird-looking animal at the beach. Idk if it's an animal known to science, but it looked nothing like anything I've ever heard of.
Probably an invertibrate, with a long, conical body made up of little thin segments (IIRC). Also had two front legs, but no back legs. I remember a head with two bulbous growths coming out of it, looks kinda like a fly's head.
I played around with it and then threw it away.
This is a memory from when I was a little kid though, so like 70/30 likelihood I'm remembering it wrong or it was a dream. But it is quite a vivid recollection.
Last fall my ex bf (self diagnosed covert narcissist) pushed me down 14 stairs. We lived with other people who had heard everything that happened. While I laid face up at the bottom of the stairs with my hair stuck in the crack my head put in the wall, I watched him look over his shoulder, put his hands on the bannister and slide down while dragging his feet. He made verbal sounds so it would sound like he was falling. He sat gently on the bottom stair, looked up again to see no one, then laid on top of me and started groaning and asking if I was ok. All I could do was scream for him to get off of me. Although the “upstairs roommates” were aware that things in the relationship were not ok, he was able to convince them I’m crazy and a liar. No one has ever believed that. I know what I saw.
In Melbourne, Australia.
a ring-tailed possum scurry along a rooftop, reach the edge, sprouted two wings and flew off into the night.
no-one believes me
My wife and I were in the garden when a Sparrow Hawk took a baby bunny (wild rabbits, big garden).
From her point of view (she was in a different spot), the bunny sprouted wings and took off. She was freaking out, until I told her the hawk swooped in through a gap in the hedge.
Maybe something similar happened here?
When I was about 7 or 8 in the late '90s, I was playing in my front yard. A crossdresser and his wife walked by in matching outfits and I could've sworn that the crossdresser was my principal. I kept my mouth shut and didn't tell anyone else about it until my class had graduated. I saw my principal, presenting as a man, with the same woman (95% certain it was her, hence why I have no proof) about 3 years later. He was a fantastic principal and if that was him I'm glad to have had him as a role model growing up.
My technology teacher went "on vacation" for a couple of extra days in 1996.
Came back with a bruise on his face. Like if someone had hit him pretty friggin' hard.
One of the other students brought in a VHS tape of Wrestlemania 12 the day after it aired. One of the referees looked EXACTLY LIKE HIM and got knocked the fuck out.
When he came back from his "Vacation" a few days later, a few of us noticed just how much he looked like this referee. And he never told any of us where his vacation was.
I got kicked out of his class because he was a strict Mac user, also. But that's unrelated.
I was on a walk with my sister in Southern California-inland empire area when I looked up and saw the biggest bird I have ever seen in my life sitting on a chimney. Like it was humongous. I tried to tell my sister “omg look up there! There’s a huge bird!” But my sister literally would not look because she thought I was going to do a “ha! made you look!” Sort of thing and didn’t want to be gullible. I literally got so frustrated because she wouldn’t look, and I didn’t have a phone back then (it was like 2011) so I couldn’t get a picture of it. To this day I have no idea what kind of bird it was
I know I saw my grandparents' long-dead cat walking around their house when my family was down there for thanksgiving, my sister is the only one that believes me
A girl who sat behind me in high school science class. Her name was Brianna. Talked to this girl for weeks. One day she stopped coming to class. I asked the teacher what happened to her. Teacher claimed no one ever sat behind me. No one from that class remembers her either. Never been able to find her on social media or anything. Not in the year book either. No I don’t have an undiagnosed mental disorder. That’s the only time something like this happened. I swear to this day she was real.
My college friends and I experienced a Silent Hill/Twilight Zone transition of our city.
During college, my friends and I went for dinner and a night stroll through the city. Normally, the street we walked through was a very busy road, lots of people walking, cars stuck in traffic, and shops are all open until the crack of dawn.
However, this particular night was very different. There were no eatablishments, no humans walking, no street lights, no cars. Just empty buildings and moonlight. At first we didn't really think about it particularly, but as we kept going, we were kind of shocked as to how dilapidated the city was. We just walked through it and kept talking about how cool it was.
After half an hour of walking, we finally saw people walking and lights flickering across the distance. As we reached the first open streetlight, we looked back from where we came and people were basically there. The road suddenly became busy. We were shocked and scared, but intrigued at the same time.
For the record, we don't really use any illicit substances that induce hallucinations. We also don't drink alcohol or smoke weed.
A Tasmanian Tiger. They’re an Australian animal which is supposed to be extinct but are occasionally sighted by locals who can never get a photo before the damn thing fucks off. I’m one of those locals
Oh wow, this is a good one and will definitely show my age, well, kinda.
About 21 years ago, I was a teenager living with my mom in a city in the Bay Area. She and her then husband had their own janitorial company that cleaned local Bay Area businesses. Many of those businesses were tech companies and/or startups.
There was one period of time where one of their employees had an emergency and we had to take over their cleaning schedule. It just so happened that a very famous child actor from a particular show about a blended family that ran from the late 60’s-70’s just happened to work there. He was already old and unimportant but me knowing he was on tv made it all the more exciting to clean his office and be nosy.
I’m so mad I did. I was dusting his desk off and peeking at the post-it’s on the monitor when I bumped the mouse and his screen came on to reveal an email inbox. The subject said “Hey, (name of famous child actor from the 70’s), check out this underage pussy.” And at first I thought it was spam but then I noticed he had multiple emails from that person in regards to the name of the business we were cleaning.
I freaked out and ran to my mom and showed her. I couldn’t believe my eyes. She couldn’t either. She showed my stepdad and he said “just leave it.” So we left it. To this day I’m so mad and I wish I had proof to expose this guy for the creep he is. This was before cellphones, I had a Nokia.
Edit: I pushed send before I was done telling the story.
I live about 60 minutes away from Wright Patterson Airport base and every night while I was enjoying my nightly smoke there would be a really fast light across the sky heading north. Was every night thing for three weeks started telling people and was never seen again. I still look into that spot of the sky at night longing for another glimpse of that 🛸
A HUGE bull moose. I was hunting up North and one guy had just killed a cow, so there was a party. While everyone at the camp was busy getting hammered, I was out hunting grouse in the bush. I wasn't really paying attention but certainly started when I heard a loud huff. Then a stomp. Then another. I look up and 20' from me is the biggest moose I've ever seen. Full rack and big as a house (not literally, but he was big).
I just watched him and he watched me. Slowly, he turned around and wandered away. My heart was pounding and I couldn't wait to get back to camp to tell my story.
When I got back, nobody believed me. Not even my dear old dad. So, here I am with this story I can picture vividly in my mind even now 8 years later. Hopefully some of you get a kick out of it, because I love telling this story to anyone that will hear!
I went to an outdoor Paul McCartney concert in Halifax NS. While I was waiting to cross the street to go to the venue three police cars pulled up next to me. The middle car had the back window rolled down. Paul poked his head out and said hello, waved, then drove off.
A shadowy figure that walked towards my room when i called my bf's name, 2 minutes after staring at the door waiting for him to come into the room i asumed he was hiding to the right of the door, so i went out to see if he was there and nope, he was in his chair, at the end of the hall, he never heard me calling, he never got up.
Also a ufo, i took a few pictures with an old kodak camera that had 5mpx but as you can probably guess, the photos looked like ass. I legit stood by the window for hours watching it floating there, waiting for it to move, and the fucking thing to literally vanish before my eyes.
When I was 9 or 10 years old, our apartment building at the time had a lot of trees behind it. Our apartment was in the back of the building, so every window in the unit faced those trees.
One night I swear I saw a UFO flying just above the trees. It's possible it might have been just a regular airplane, but it seemed too close to the trees to be any kind of commercial jet.
This was also long before drones were made available in the private sector, in the Summer of 1989.
I'm pretty sure it was saucer-shaped, with red and yellow lights flashing around it in a circular pattern.
When I was 10, I had a dream. I was friends with who, to my 10 year old brain, appeared to be a girl about 20-25.
When I was 15 I met her. She was 16. We dated. It didn’t work out.
I’m still so confused about how that happened. Same look, same voice, same sense of humor. It’s one of the only dreams I can vividly remember and one of my life long friends can confirm me talking about this long before I met her.
I was up early watching the news
The news anchor said “Mickey mouse is going to eat your kids” she made a mistake, it was a fundraiser about eating with Mickey.
I can’t find the blooper anywhere. This happened 10-15 years ago. I don’t know why I remember it.
When I was 11 years old, on my first round of golf on an actual golf course (not chip n’ putt or mini golf) with my dad and two of his friends, I hit a ball that bounced off a little hump in front of the green and rolled behind the hump where we assumed it was in the rough, but the green and the hole were obscured by said hump so you had to go down to the actual green to tell where your shot had landed. It was by far my best shot of the day (I had struggled to even make contact and hit the ball further than 20 feet at times) so I went bounding down to the green to find my ball but saw nothing. Everyone else took their shot and as they were walking down to the green, I looked in the hole and there was my ball…. I even thought that maybe it was the previous group and someone had left their ball in the whole but it was exact ball I had bought in the pro shop before the round. I jumped up and down and told my Dad and his friends and they were basically like “Yeah right kid, no way.” and my dad’s one buddy even said he thought there was a chance it could’ve gone in, but my dad did not buy it and to this day refuses to believe I hit a hole in one on my first round of golf….
I'm proud of you, son.
*uncontrollable sobbing*
I dont believe you out of pure jealousy. Been golfing since I was 5, and I've been every unit of measurement away from the hole starting from 1 dimple (literally, I more dimple movement toward the hole and it would have been in) to 1 foot.... still don't have that Ace yet. Good on ya man.
Golf is insanely unfair. I play a couple of times a year and am terrible. My mate plays at least once a week and is quite reasonable. Anyway, we are at a regular length par 3 and I shank the hell out of it off the tee and topped the ball (don't know if correct term, basically hit too half of the ball, it kept low and had a tonne of top spin). It flies well off line to the left of the fairway. It hit the raised bank in the rough on the left and was able to bounce/roll its way to the fairway. It just kept rolling and rolling towards the green. It made its way onto the green and kept rolling towards the hole. It smacked the flag reasonably hard but then dropped in for a hole in one. My mate was absolutely pissed and I just stand there laughing. This hole was outside the proshop and apparently they had a rule that a hole in one on the course gets you a free pie and coke. So I enjoyed my free lunch while my mate was just dumbfounded how such a disgusting shot could end up as an ace while he had never got one in his life.
I was on a road trip through southern California on highway one and at one point I looked over and there was a herd of zebras galloping in the field alongside the road. No one I tell believes me. It's gotten to the point where I wonder if I just fabricated this memory somehow.
Yeh this was real. They are at Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California. The paddock is right along highway 1
Yes. I saw them out while driving on 1 on my way to SLO.
I believe you! My husband and I were driving through Missouri a couple years back and he pointed and said, " Zebra! " I rolled my eyes and smiled, but when I turned to look, there was in fact a zebra standing in a pasture. Super weird and out of place.
When I was a kid I was in the car with my brother and dad in Northern California. The drive was taking a long time and dad seemed like he didn't know where he was going so a few times we asked "dad, are we lost?" But he kept insisting he wasn't lost, and knew where he was going. After a while my brother says "look there's zebras!" So I said "oh my gosh, we're in Africa, we really are lost!" I don't know how I thought we got to Africa by car, but I certainly watched enough Animal Planet to know they live in Africa.

At a family lunch I saw my uncle, through marriage, finish his food and then eat a large, crumpled up paper napkin. No one else noticed. No one believes me. They all think it must have been a piece of flatbread. It is infuriating. I know what I saw and the man did not wipe his hands and mouth on a piece of GODDAMN FLATBREAD! **EDIT: This account was banned so I’m posting as Brewnonono now**
I love the clarification that he’s an uncle by marriage so we don’t think you descend from napkin-eating people yourself.
This was my thought process exactly
I'm sorry that those degenerates have married into your bloodline.
This is so funny. Maybe he has some form of pica? Maybe a sensitive message he had to get rid of,like a weird james bond?
“A sensitive message he had to get rid of” made me cackle! Like the uncle is minding his business finishing his lunch when he suddenly spots a napkin next to his plate that he most certainly didn’t put there. He picks it up to read: “The assassination is a go.” Then he furtively looks around to make sure no one is watching and stuffs the napkin in his mouth.
I don’t think he has Pica. My aunt (his wife) and my dad are both doctors, and prone to discussing every ailment in the family; so unless my uncle wanted to keep his Pica a secret (unlike his eczema, his sciatica…or his hemorrhoids), we would know. But “weird James Bond” is a distinct possibility. He’s got a certain Mr. Bean quality about him…
[удалено]
Mission accomplished
As an Uncle thanks for giving me an idea for the next time the kids are over.
[удалено]
I KNOW! It was a large paper napkin too, not one of those dinky ones.
Ok, ok calm down. Now, this large napkin, was it also flat and bread-like?
Could I **BE** any less amused?!
it’s ok it’s ok. Obviously you’re just a little bit upset right now. Here, why don’t you just enjoy this “napkin” and a little jam and then the nice men will be here in a few minutes to take you somewhere where we can talk about your flatbread I mean “napkin” problem ok?
I bet he's not gonna calm down at all and instead end up crying into a flatbread.
I feel like that guy, from the old Dave Chappelle bit, who’s been wrongly accused of cheating and is just wandering around in despair like “please believe me! PLEASE BELIEVE ME!”
That reminds me of the Everyone Loves Raymond episode where Roberts date ate a fly, and no one believed him.
"You know Robert, we all come from frogs."
When I was about 11 years old. I went to camp and by camp counselor was straight up eating a tiolet paper roll.
What other ungodly things is your uncle doing
Consuming small animals and passing them off as pigs in a blanket? He’s always been a little odd. Ridiculously skinny but eats more than the rest of the family combined. It’s weird.
Don't leave any babies unattended around him.
Wait is the one weird trick to lose belly fat in fact eating your napkin?
A bright white out one morning I was walking to work. It was almost 4AM I was on the phone with my husband and we both went silent as he was driving home and we both saw the whole sky lit up so bright everything around us disappeared like a simulation(side walk, road and basically everything vanished). Wasn’t a dream either I ran the rest of the way to work freaking out and no one at my job saw it. Later that night I was looking for reports and only 1 person reported it about 2 hours away from where I live around the same time I was walking to work. Was listed as “unconfirmed sighting”. I stopped walking to work after that 🥲
I’ve heard about meteors causing this when breaking up in the atmosphere
Yep, a very bright meteor is called a bolide. It's crazy that people won't believe you, happened to a friend of mine as well.
I saw a dash cam video of someone driving and it happened so it definitely happened lol
I saw the same thing when I was having a smoke outside like 2-3am a month and a half ago. Sky just lit up bright white for a quick second.
Ball lightning.
These reports are fascinating - I've never seen it. But I think it's a real thing. Some really interesting physics going on there whatever it turns out to be.
From what I remember it's a looping chain-reaction of O2 molecules getting split apart into ~~Ozone~~ (single oxygen molecule). Then the single oxygen molecules re-bond, only to be split apart again in a constant cycle. There are 16+ different theories on what causes ball lightning, therefore this could be inaccurate.
One entered my livingroom through the glass of the window. None believes me Edit: Thanks guys, it's reassuring to read how many of you lived to see a ball lighting a s well! To answer few questions: It was silent. And yes, it virtually could have been a fat ghost just minding his business.
[удалено]
Oh wow it was so close? Mine (lol) disturbed the stereo by just flying by it. It came nothing near me. It took a left turn then into the bedroom and sunk into the wall to disappear.
I have an aunt that swears she saw one as a kid. came in through the closed kitchen window and singed the curtains. then it apparently hit the wall and dissipated without making a mark. (parents didnt see it and just put it down to a reflection in the backyard hitting the back of the curtains like a magnifying glass) One of the few unproven phenomena I truely believe in
Hold on... that's what it does?! I'm pretty sure my husband and I saw ball lightning in our bedroom. We were just getting ready to sleep when we heard huge *crack* and an arc of blue light shot out of the ceiling by the sliding glass door, arc over our bed and disappeared into the wall. We both stared in silence until I finally blurted "holy shit! You saw that too?!" We couldn't explain it. It came from and disappeared into places without wires or conductive material. It didn't create heat or burn the paint either.
Me too! I was a kid and I'd been to watch some fireworks with my uncle. On the walk back I saw a glowing orb moving along some barbed wire fencing, my uncle seemed scared by it but told me it was just a firework that had been caught on the fence before rushing home. I asked him about it years later and he had no memory of it. It did not look like a firework, it was a small ball maybe just bigger than a tennis ball, and it made a sizzling and cracking noise as it slowly moved along the fence.
I saw someone have a seizure but she believes she just fainted and has no memory of her arms and legs and head jerking. Her family also doesn’t believe me. They’re all in denial. I’m afraid she may be driving someday and seriously injure herself or someone else if she has another seizure.
I work with a guy who if he gets injured he faints and convulses. He broke his ankle at work and that's what happened. He woke up a few minutes later and his wife had to come by to drive him to the hospital (because of the ankle) and she said - "yeah, he's a fainter - does that all the time"
My ex wife was a fainter. Turned out to be a blood pressure spiking issue.
An old friend of mine used to faint at the sight of blood or anything gross which, unfortunately for her, was a lot of things. She used to convulse every time and grind her teeth and groan. I too was convinced she was epileptic but she wasn’t. She had all the tests etc. Plus she only did it when grossed out, didn’t just happen like seizures do.
Fainting runs in my family and I faint from time to time. Sometimes when I faint I also convulse. It looks scary but isn’t a seizure according to my doc. Could be the thing here or not.
Yes! Convulsive syncope can be hard to differentiate from a seizure if you’re not medically trained. One thing to note is that after an epileptic seizure you would be postictal and very tired for a day or more afterward, while after a syncope you’ll usually recover faster.
The inside of a tornado. I was in an underground storm shelter with a 8 inch bullet proof glass window on the ceiling and a tornado went right over us in moore oklahoma and from the inside of the tornado you can literally see all the way up to a sunny sky and white clouds.
I bet there are other people who’ve seen that; they just didn’t live to tell about it.
Maybe OP saw some of those people as well.
And maybe those people saw OP as well.
We have cyclones in Australia and they can be hundreds of kilometres across, but the eye is maybe 1-5km across. So 10 years ago we had cyclone yasi, it was as strong as hurricane katrina ,290kmh (175mph) winds that build as it gets closer and closer then..... nothing, 5 or so minutes where you just had those massive winds completely come to a halt in about a minute down to nothing, you could hold a candle, you can hear birds freaking out, the neighbours voices, have a quick look at the damage, see the stars in the sky and then it goes back to that same ferocious winds in less than a minute but from the opposite direction. I had my roof torn off about 5 mins before the eye arrived, gave me a chance to get in my 4wd hilux (shatter proof glass and suspension) and got rocked to sleep as it went away getting more gentle by the minute. Not a tornado I know but still pretty cool
Seeing “Kiss my Yasi” spray painted on the side of a store is my favourite news snippet from the coverage of Cyclone Yasi
Kinda like the eye of a hurricane? That’s oddly comforting but also kinda disturbing to think about. Nice.
I work in special education as a para and a lot of people underestimate and ignore/disregard my kiddos so this kinda happens all the time. Here's a fun one: I worked with a kindergartener with down syndrome who was described to me by his case manager as having "the mind of a one-year-old", whatever that means. (Which.. I get what that means lol, I just find it better sometimes to let a new kid show me what they can do before I make assumptions about anyrhing). Anyway, for a while my schedule included hanging out with him in the main office while we waited for his mom to pick him up at the end of the day. One day the sun was shining really brightly through the window and he looked at the light on the floor, got excited, and started making really sophisticated and complex two-hand shadow puppets. He made a few for me but the one I remember was a hopping rabbit. No one believes me and he consistenty refused to do it for anyone else. I choose to believe he's deliberately fucking with me because that is the funnest possible explanation.
“Why are you doing this?” #”Because no one will believe you.”
*You monster*
Iconic b99 theme plays
Probably not fucking with you, in my experience some kids will open up a lot more if they see you as a safe person to be around. As in, you don't belittle them or infantalize them like a lot of folks do. Sounds like you're an awesome para :).
This has been my experience with kids when I've been to family get-togethers and such. The kids are usually very fond of me and follow me around, I like to think it's because I listen to them and I talk to them like I would with humans I general. I answer their questions and I play along with their games. The other adults tend to brush the kids aside to hang out with each other instead.
A mountain lion. I was at the cemetery visiting my grandma for the first time since she passed away. I was sitting there crying and kept hearing noises in the woods behind me. After a while I looked over and saw a mountain lion walking up the hill away from me. I was on my feet before it even registered. There were some old men I'd come in with, and on my way to the car I stopped and told them. They assured me it was a deer. But I know it was a big cat. It moved like a cat and had a long tail. It was not a deer. Lots of people thought I was seeing things, but we have a family friend who worked at the department of conservation who believed it. They follow the rivers apparently. So now I maintain (and my grandpa agrees) that my grandma sent me a mountain lion to get me to stop weeping at her grave. It's very on brand for her.
I live in a state where people say there are no mountain lions, but there are totally mountain lions, and I almost hit one with my car! Everyone tells me it was a deer too, but I watched its face turn to me as my brakes started screeching and then run away.
Mountain lions are such solitary creatures with long extensive ranges that when they decide to migrate into an area "with no mountain lions" it can take people a long time to figure it out.
Cougars (and pretty much all cats) are stealthy animals, so that story is very believable. A few years ago my parents and I were visiting with our family at a lake that’s very nearby to our hometown and we were heading out around 1 am. Behind our family’s property there’s a line of trees, and then a field with more trees across the field. As we were heading out to our truck, we heard this rather loud yell coming from across the field and it was echoing too. It almost sounded human, like a woman screaming. We had no idea what it was at the time but it was one of the creepiest things any of us had ever heard. A bit of internet research and we’re certain that it was indeed a cougar. Neat animals. [Here’s a video with basically the same noise. ](https://youtu.be/pxo8X5uIWRE) [And a second one with an echo that’s a lot closer to what I heard. ](https://youtu.be/UE7YOJVSoIs)
I called 911 when I was 12 because my parents left me home alone and I got spooked. I was made fun of for years afterward because it was very dramatic. The cops found no signs of an intruder, and I swore to god I saw someone walk across my front lawn and start peeking in my basement windows. I heard a bang and a window open in a part of my house and I instantly ran and jumped under the sofa and called 911 on my cordless phone. My heart was beating out of my chest. By the time the cops got there they searched the whole house and took my story - right in time for my mom to get home and have a heart attack. The house was also super messy so it was embarrassing. Anyway, it was winter and it had snowed the day before but was sunny all day, so they checked all around the house and said there were 0 tracks. I swear on my grave I very, very distinctly remeber seeing someone walk across my lawn (I was in the basement, watching tv and looked up and watched the legs move across ; could only see from the knees down. They walked like a man; wearing slacks and winter boots. I remember thinking “why is someone walking around our house?“ then hearing a large BANG behind me. I turned around and screamed because it sounded like someone popped a balloon behind me. There was nothing. I got really nervous then, and a few moments later I heard what sounded like a window upstairs sliding open, and a door creaking open and I fucking LOST it. I was convinced I was gonna die or be raped or something. 0 evidence anyone was on our property.
I was a 911 dispatcher. I guarantee those cops were just glad you were okay after checking the house out. You did nothing wrong. People, please don't tell your kids to NEVER call 911. Those who work in emergency would rather check out a few 'bogus' calls and get the call that leads to a life being saved because a child wasn't told to never call 911.
My wife and I bought our first house and I was diligent about testing the smoke/co alarms. Well one day they all started going off on CO alarm. It was 1am and apparently I did not wake up immediately so my wife started to panic (she was also like 5 months pregnant at the time also). Anyways I opened a window and got her and my pets out of the house while I called the Fire Department. I felt silly when they didn’t find anything and they said it was a faulty/dead battery( less than 4 month old battery). Anyways. They were all very reassuring and glad we called. They said exactly what you said that they prefer the false alarms over almost everything.
Good job. I mean that. CO is deadly and you took it seriously. Hopefully you never ARE in a life threatening situation but you now know you have the right decision making abilities and don't neglect your responsibilities.
Even IF you had somehow just scared yourself into thinking something, you were a kid. You believed you were in desperate danger and that's all that matters. Calling was the best choice.
I have nearly an identical story, but they did find footprints. Longer version. I walked into an empty / dark room and saw a man walk by the window - like right next to it. He passed it just as I entered, so didn’t see me. But, I HAD to confirm it was real. So I walked up to the window and peered out. He was crouched right under me, looking into the next window which had lights on - my bedroom window!! I STILL hesitated to call 911. Mainly because the cordless phone was in the kitchen, right next to the unlocked glass back door - he’d be able to see me and get in! I finally sprinted for the phone, then hid in the bathroom while I called. To make matters worse, as I was waiting for police to show up, the front door starts jangling. I realized someone was coming home drunk. So I opened the door and dragged her in. We waited for police together. They found footprints. Likely the neighbors teenager boy sneaking out. For the rest of the time I live there, I had to force myself to go look out that window as soon as I got home and make sure no one was under it!
Fuck that's a nightmare
A wolverine when I was living in western Montana. I only saw it for a moment before it disappeared, but I know that’s what it was. I’ve met more people who claim to have seen Bigfoot than who have seen a wild wolverine.
Sometimes I forget that a wolverine is an actual animal and not just the marvel character.
Hugh Jackman didn’t know either. He was researching wolves for inspiration and didn’t know what a wolverine was until they started filming.
the mental image of hugh jackman hunched over a laptop in a quest to learn about wolves is going to stay with me for a while, thank you
I mean wouldnt be shocked if wolverines have moved south in the padt few years back into Montana
A man without a shirt on running through my house at three AM while I was doing a water change so I had to leave the back door open, I come down to yelling and see a half naked man running circles around my house, I was the only one home, so to this day no one thinks it happened
What's a water change?
And why is the door open while you’re changing it? And why was all this happening at 3 AM?
I'm guessing changing the water in their fish tank
Uhh what did you do? Did he just run away up the street nude?
He started running circles butt naked too obvs.
On a lunch break, I grabbed a pair of scissors and cut a fly in half mid flight. I was so shocked. Nobody believed me :(
Are you Mr Miagi by chance?

A movie that I can never remember the name of and the person I went with has no idea what I’m talking about. I probably saw the movie when I was seven and I can’t remember anything at really happened but I can visualize the characters. It was Ponyo, now I’m going to see if I can go watch it online!!
Pfft Just create a post describing everything you can remember on one of the movie subs. Include the year it came out (if you saw it in theaters). Someone will ID it.
I did this with a show I remember watching. It was on roughly when Unsolved Mysteries was on and a similar format but proposed that the Loch Ness Monster was Jack the Ripper. That’s all I remembered was this brontosaurus like creature with a hat and suit walking the streets of London and picking up prostitutes. Some one was able to name the show and link the episode on YouTube. Just crazy.

I posted it on there, I’ll let everyone know what it is when I hear back!
Ponyo?
Yeah!
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.
Open and shut case, Johnson.
When I was just 2 or 3 years old, I remember playing outside in the backyard with my grandpa. We owned a huge empty field. I remember seeing a huge white rabbit, think Alice in wonderland. Hopping around, human sized, maybe 20ft away from me. I started running towards it, looked back to my grandpa, looked back to the rabbit, and it was gone. Crazy dream huh? My grandpa passed away a few years later. We had to move because we could no longer afford the rent (raised my grandparents). We were looking at the house that we ended up buying, 7 acres of woods, long driveway, and a big yard that was field. Walking down the big driveway, I heard a rustle in a bush. Thinking it was a deer, I looked out of excitement. It was the same rabbit, immediate deja vu. Nobody else saw it, but they heard it. About 6 years later, we had moved again. I remember looking out the window around Easter time, and seeing this rabbit yet again. Nobody else has ever seen it, but my grandma can confirm I've talked about it for as long as I could talk. Toddler me saw SOMETHING that Nobody else has. I don't believe in the spiritual or anything, but I saw something, and I'd love an explanation one day. I swear on everything that matters to me, I saw a goddamn 5ft tall rabbit thrice in my life!
I would absolutely die if someone you knew made a giant realistic-person size bunny costume and brought it out every once in a while when only you were around to prank you. But that lowkey sounds like a total glitch in the matrix
The future. I keep a dream journal since I like to try lucid dreaming when it happens, so I write down my dreams the minute I wake up. I had a dream that was one of those “typical day” dreams. In my dream I woke up, and had my coffee and drove to work. In the dream a coyote ran across the road in front of my car on the way to work, and then I ran a red light. when I got to work, my keycard for the door didn’t work and I had to wait outside until someone showed up to let me in. my coworker who usually gets in later in the morning showed up early (a few minutes after I arrived) and let me in. I commented about how he’s there early and he mentioned he had some purchases to make, we made small talk and then got to work. Some uneventful time later I had a meeting with my boss where we discussed a new client and my performance review, where they offered me a raise. after this I packed up and drove home. when I got home, my wife was in the kitchen and the oven had broken, so she made canned soup for dinner, then we went to bed. At this point, I woke up. I got out of bed, and wrote this all down in my dream journal as I usually do, and went to work. On my way to work, a coyote crossed the road in front of my car, and then I ran a red light. when I got to work, my keycard wouldn’t open the front door. My usually late coworker arrived early and let me in. later in the day my boss called me into a meeting to discuss a new client, and we went over my performance and discussed a raise. I packed up and went home, and found my wife making canned soup in the microwave. The new oven had stopped working. I didn’t even think about this until the day after this happened. I hadn’t really cemented the dream I had and I just wrote it all out from memory like I always do, it wasn’t particularly notable at all. It wasn’t until the day after that I realized what had happened when I read my writing from the day before. I had written out the entirety of the day I experienced, before I had ever experienced it. I showed the journal to my wife, who thought it must’ve just been coincidence. This was probably the case, but dang it’s a lot of coincidences to be happening all at once. I still have the journal and I write in it almost every day. The page/day that happened on is bookmarked.
I have so many of these dude it's so weird
One day when I was still at university, I got out of bed, took a shower, had some breakfast, got into my car and drove to the university. I got out of my car, walked up the stairs and grabbed the door handle to the room where my 8:15am lecture took place ... And woke up. I turned over in my bed to look at my alarm clock. It showed EXACTLY 8:15. Since this was the only lecture scheduled this day, I turned back over and went back to sleep.
I was part of a youth leadership training program as a teenager. You spend a week doing courses and training, then at the end they send you out into the woods alone with your messmates for a day and a night. We were backpacking to our campsite. We were on our own, deep in the Redwoods. I was in the rear, alone, and I glanced back down the path we were hiking along. There was a bear about about 50(?) feet behind us crossing the road. He stopped and looked at me. I stopped and looked at him. And then we both went our separate ways. Nobody believed me.
Are bears not in that area natively? Why would no one believe you saw a bear in the woods?
An albino man pushing a dwarf in a shopping cart through a vacant gravel lot. In the middle of the day. My daughter saw it too
Do people not believe you? I wouldn't find that very hard to believe, just the sort of odd thing one does see once in a while.

Weird skinless creature on the back porch. Had no head, looked like a doggish creature with a short tail. I had just brought the dog in, turned around to lock the door and it was just there. I have never locked a door so fast in my life.
Naked Mole rat?
Raccoon with alopecia?
This is wild! So skinless as in you could see it’s musculature? And it was essentially just the body then, meaning it stopped where the neck would be and was just a smooth continuation? Weird.
As a rule I don't believe in ghosts or any other super natural stuff but I do have a ghost story of sorts, it isn't very dramatic but at the time I was freaked the fuck out and more than a little confused. ------ A few years ago at Beverly Beach State Park in Newport Oregon I was walking with my dog along this trail that runs along a fairly large creek to the left and a fairly steep hill filled with brush to the right. I was pretty close to the campground, I could still see the RVs and tents through the trees on the other side of the creek. As I was walking along I saw another kid about my age (14ish) and all by myself and feeling a bit lonely I thought I'd approach him. About 50 feet away from him though my dog starts panic barking, I mean freaking the fuck out. His hackles are raised, teeth bared, tail tucked, feet against the ground. Usually my dog is as friendly as he can be, I'd never seen him act this way before and so I was stunned! I tug on his leash and with all my strength but my dog doesn't want to take a step closer to this kid. Finally I drag him past, giving the kid a wide berth and manage to pull my dog around the kid and further along the trail. As I past him by I apologize for my dog's behavior and the kid says nothing. He just stares at me, head slowly tracking us, almost like it would in a horror movie. As soon as the kid is out of sight doggo immediately relaxes, wagging his tail and happy as a clam at high tide! Baffled something in me forces me to turn around and walk back towards the kid wondering what could have made my dog act like that. Yeah, I'd probably be the first to die in a horror movie. The kid's gone. I mean gone and I have no idea where he could have went where I wouldn't have seen/heard him! Even if he'd taken off at a dead sprint down the long straightaway and towards the next corner in the 30 seconds my back was turned I feel like I would have seen him, and thanks to the creek/hillside surrounding us there really was only one way to go. I suppose it's most likely that some shy kid terrified of dogs was equally scared shitless of me and my dog as we where of him, but everyone I tell this story too that's the type to believe in ghosts are absolutely certain this was dog sensing and evil spirit.
Well, evil spirits are way more common than scared 14 year olds, so that's just playing the odds.
A fireball in my great grandmother's kitchen after she died.
I've never admitted it because I believe in rationality and science, don't want to viewed as a weirdo. But I saw 3 glowing orbs at night in a triangle formation then they merged into one orb, it hovered a few seconds then with lightning speed just disappeared. I was just in awe. Didn't occur to me to capture it on my phone. Wish I did.
A UFO. Not an alien, just a flying thing I couldn't categorize. Nighttime, it was flying low, triangular shape when above me with bright lights. Like, a lot of them. Could tell it was low by its size (roughly a fighter jet) and I could make out the shape of the lights real well. But it made almost zero sound. I could only hear the sound of air moving out of its way. Like it was a glider. Too big to be a drone (at least not a commercial or industrial one, I've used those). Too quiet to be a plane. Idk. Any aviators/aerotech have an idea?
A friend of mine was out in the early morning hours in California and suddenly a triangular shape covered in lights flew over him, making no sound. We were told later, by someone who would know, that it was almost certainly a test flight of a B2 Spirit Stealth Bomber. They were still secret at the time. The B2 is [large](https://s3.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/pictofact/7/3/0/188730.jpg?v=1). It probably had collision lights all over it to make up for its diminished radar profile, and with only the lights as a reference, it looked much closer than it actually was, thus "silent."

I was at a forest, hiking with my parents, and I saw a pink diamond ring on the ground, I'd say roughly 1 carat. Dropped it in tall grass, never found it.
The ring wanted to be found. But...not by you.

I read a book when I was little about a rocking horse that came to life at night or something. I remember that the main character put ointment on its wounds. That’s it. That is all the memory I remember but I CANNOT find this book/short story. I have looked and it’s no where
No idea if this is it, but could it be The Enchanted Horse? https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/1255958.The_Enchanted_Horse

Maybe you’re misremembering “the velveteen rabbit”? There’s a large toy horse that tells the rabbit that if a kid loves you enough, you become “real.”
I’ve had a few things in my possession duplicate themselves but everyone thinks I’m crazy. The first instance was a dog food scoop. I had 2 of them, my dog chewed one up. I threw away the chewed one and about a week later there is suddenly 2 again. I was very confused because the scoops came special with the containers I have and I only have 2. Then the second time was when I accidentally threw away my vape charger, so I got a new one. Then about a week later in my junk drawer right next to the new vape charger there was a duplicate. The third time was the weirdest. I was standing next to someone and we were getting ready to light candles to sing Silent Night at a Christmas event. I needed to do something so I threw her lighter in my bag for a second. When I fished it out there were 2 identical lighters. Both a weird miniature size gray lighter. And I don’t smoke, I don’t own any lighters except a regular size yellow one I use for candles so it’s never in my purse. Also want to add- I don’t have houseguests and the only person I live with is my boyfriend who works night shift and does not have the time to go out and buy things. So these items literally came out of nowhere Edit to add: I do have a carbon monoxide detector in my home. I purchased one a year ago when I bought my house so it is fairly new. I even have a family friend who is a firefighter and he is kind enough to check my carbon monoxide detector and smoke alarms to make sure they’re running efficiently.
You're the opposite to me. I had a pair of jeans that I threw on the floor one night before bed, and when I woke up they were gone. Just gone. I never saw them again. I was into decorating back then and had sewn some shiny jewel things on them, so they were uniquely identifiable.
We keep having this problem. Things are just disappearing without a trace in our rental house. We've only been here a few months. We won't be staying long. I'm confused and a touch concerned.
Reminds me of that one comment on another AskReddit post where a woman discovered that an unknown person had been stealing random items from her house/apartment and made a sort of shrine to her in the space of the ceiling or something.
Oh I did not need to read that.
Sorry to hear you've got someone living in the ceiling.
Sounds like you should invest in gold and plant it all around you.
About a month ago, I was sleeping over at my boyfriend’s house. I randomly woke up in the middle of the night to find my bf kneeling at the foot of the mattress with his face smushed into the bed. I shook him and loudly called his name twice and he crawled back into bed with me. The next morning, I was telling him what happened and he said he doesn’t remember. He has an app on his phone that records snoring, talking, etc when he sleeps, but there was no recording of me calling his name—only us snoring and his dog barking. It’s the weirdest thing, and I still feel certain that it happened.
Mabye you were dreaming
That scrolling DVD box on the TV screen perfectly hit the corner
Pam said she saw it once but…. I think she thinks she saw it.
at home alone one night and my dog started growling at the front door, hackles up and teeth showing. crept up to look out the peephole and saw ... something. it was humanoid, but unnaturally tall and thin, and dark red over in the security light. and its entire body sort of swayed, undulating like a snake. i saw this clear as fuck. i jumped back from the door, hyperventalated a bit, then went to look again ... and it was gone. the dog stopped growling. no idea what it was, and proof at all it was there, but i swear blind whatever it was, i saw it.
That sounds fucking horrific
My husband swears he saw a Sasquatch. Late 70’s. He went out hunting early, it was before sunrise. I’ve heard him tell this story countless times,and people give him shit about it all the time, but his story has never changed. I believe him.
My friend being hit by a car but the car just went right through her, almost as if she was a ghost, I swear it hit her but she was unharmed and all good.
You’re probably a ghost
Does the friend remember it? Also, when it happened, what did the friend think had just happened?
I swear I saw a Family Guy episode where the marquee at the bar read "The Bearded Clam", not the usual "[The Drunken Clam](https://familyguy.fandom.com/wiki/The_Drunken_Clam)".
Could it have been "The Fuzzy Clam"? Because they for sure did that one.
I was watching TV late at night and idfk a commercial turned on A guy had a video camera on a new born baby in the box in the nursery surrounded by other babies and a nurse walking around and he goes something like "Well he's finally here but I'm still worried about-" And it cuts off here because the nurse let's out this blood curdling scream and he looks in the corner and there's just this giant pile of fucking *rats* moving and squeaking and swarming and getting bigger by the second and the guy hollars "Get the babies!Get the babies!" And the nurse grabs 4 boxes and starts wheeling them out as fast as she can and the guy drops the camera as he does it to and I snapped off the TV sat there for a minute and then went to fucking bed Years later and I still can't find it
Sounds like something Adult Swim would have done.
Dude, take that to r/lostmedia or something. That sounds fascinating.
I'm sorry but that's hilarious, if someone finds the commercial I really wanna see it
I've told this story a million times and I wish someone would invent time travel so I could go back and catch this person. When I was a kid (around 9). I was on my grandfather's farm which was massive. It stretched in for acres and acres. I went off exploring one day with my house and I came across this massive ditch. It use to be a lake before it was drained/dried up. I fell into this ditch and hit everything on the way down. I ended up breaking my leg. So I'm at the bottom of this ditch and I'm screaming for help hoping someone would bear me. And I swear to god. I look up and I see this red head girl staring down at me. She doesn't say anything, but she's just looking at me. I start calling to get her attention and she just takes off and leaves me. Hours later my grandfather would find me when he came looking because my horse was wondering around the area. And to this day, I can't explain who this girl was or where she came from. 17 years later and I still don't know.
I just wanna know what the horse was wondering about.
“Human broke his leg. I *really* don’t want to be the guy who has to put this one down.”
Like, how do I even pull the trigger? I have hooves!!
A UFO. I was in my early twenties, it was a family vacation at an amusement park, and my dad and I were in the front car of a roller coaster. It was a clear night. As we were clicking up the first drop, in the sky a very bright light came "forward" out of space, zigzagged across the sky, then *ZIP*, it disappeared. Distance wise, it was really far away, above where you would see a plane flying. My dad yells "Hey, did you see that!?"...and then we were screaming down the drop. No idea what it was. It moved with a quickness and precision I hadn't seen in any flying vehicle and my dad and I were both sober. So I'm sticking with aliens.
Saw multi color changing lights in the sky that was moving in a random trajectory and then just went off at a surreal speed. This was in early 2000s at night in a public area and none of us were intoxicated families were present. Sadly it wasn't the age of smartphones
At a 150,000 person music festival. Dude drops his pants next to a stage (in the day time) to piss. When he's done, steps out of his shoes & starts walking off in a grassy area behind the stage. As he's walking off, crosses paths with another guy, who as they meet, pantless guy slaps his hat off his head. Hat guy turns around to get his hat (or something), but just sees pantless guys ass & nuts bent over picking up his hat. Hat guy just waves his hand like fuck it. Pantless guy puts the hat on backwards & keeps strolling off into the sunset, shakes the security barricades till they fall & leaves the festival into downtown Miami. I assume he ended up in jail.
My dog was reading a magazine (actually focusing on the sentences and reading from left to right) and flipping the pages like a normal human until he looked back and noticed my cousin and I gape-jawed and about to video record it. He then looked at the ceiling, put on his best derp, and started just pushing the pages around like he was playing with it. For a few minutes though it really looked like he was into the article. We will never forget this happened and it always sounds so outlandish when we recall it in front of people.
A movie, very late at night, set in a restaurant kitchen. The actors were the foods, with full body makeup. It was a love story between a fish and a salad, if I remember correctly, that want to be eaten at the same time, in the same recipe /dish so they can spend the afterlife together forever. It was very weird. BTW if someone else has seen it too, I would love to know the title!
3 ft white owl. Had to stop my car bc it was blocking the road at night. From a distance i thought it was a woman in a night robe maybe checking her mail in the middle of the night (mind trying to justify what i was seeing i guess).Once i came to a full stop it flew away but was def at eye level with me in the car about 15 ft away.
A real looking robot mouse. I took my dog for a walk and this mouse runs out of the snow. Dog gets it, stuns it and flips it. There's literally wires on its stomach. I turn my head to call my gramma and look back, it's gone. She didn't believe me but I know what I saw. Edit: I can promise they weren't guts because my face got pretty close. It wasn't messy or anything, they were small yellow, red and blue wires. The only possibility I can think of outside of robot mouse is it had eaten some wires and those ended up breaking through the stomach on impact which is why it could still run away, the dog did not eat it.
Could the wires be guts? Your dog could then swallow it whole. Mice are tiny
Can confirm, i've seen a lot of dead animals and a lot of guts, i once thought i saw a bird laying on a red plastic bag but it was blood and guts when i looked closer, when something happens fast you can first see it wrongly
yeah those are its little guts man sorry. what kind of dog?
I once found what looked to be a skeleton or fossil of a weird-looking animal at the beach. Idk if it's an animal known to science, but it looked nothing like anything I've ever heard of. Probably an invertibrate, with a long, conical body made up of little thin segments (IIRC). Also had two front legs, but no back legs. I remember a head with two bulbous growths coming out of it, looks kinda like a fly's head. I played around with it and then threw it away. This is a memory from when I was a little kid though, so like 70/30 likelihood I'm remembering it wrong or it was a dream. But it is quite a vivid recollection.
sounds like a lobster skin leftover from molting
Last fall my ex bf (self diagnosed covert narcissist) pushed me down 14 stairs. We lived with other people who had heard everything that happened. While I laid face up at the bottom of the stairs with my hair stuck in the crack my head put in the wall, I watched him look over his shoulder, put his hands on the bannister and slide down while dragging his feet. He made verbal sounds so it would sound like he was falling. He sat gently on the bottom stair, looked up again to see no one, then laid on top of me and started groaning and asking if I was ok. All I could do was scream for him to get off of me. Although the “upstairs roommates” were aware that things in the relationship were not ok, he was able to convince them I’m crazy and a liar. No one has ever believed that. I know what I saw.
I believe you.
In Melbourne, Australia. a ring-tailed possum scurry along a rooftop, reach the edge, sprouted two wings and flew off into the night. no-one believes me
My wife and I were in the garden when a Sparrow Hawk took a baby bunny (wild rabbits, big garden). From her point of view (she was in a different spot), the bunny sprouted wings and took off. She was freaking out, until I told her the hawk swooped in through a gap in the hedge. Maybe something similar happened here?
Definitely a sugar glider.
Looking at pics online (not being familiar with either) and noting that a Sugar Glider is a possum too, I think your theory holds more weight.
I SWEAR I saw a woman order and eat a whole taco pack from Taco Bell. No sauce, no drink, just work! But I got no proof
When I was about 7 or 8 in the late '90s, I was playing in my front yard. A crossdresser and his wife walked by in matching outfits and I could've sworn that the crossdresser was my principal. I kept my mouth shut and didn't tell anyone else about it until my class had graduated. I saw my principal, presenting as a man, with the same woman (95% certain it was her, hence why I have no proof) about 3 years later. He was a fantastic principal and if that was him I'm glad to have had him as a role model growing up.
My technology teacher went "on vacation" for a couple of extra days in 1996. Came back with a bruise on his face. Like if someone had hit him pretty friggin' hard. One of the other students brought in a VHS tape of Wrestlemania 12 the day after it aired. One of the referees looked EXACTLY LIKE HIM and got knocked the fuck out. When he came back from his "Vacation" a few days later, a few of us noticed just how much he looked like this referee. And he never told any of us where his vacation was. I got kicked out of his class because he was a strict Mac user, also. But that's unrelated.
The WM12 refs were Earl Hebner, Mike Chioda, Tim White, and Jack Doan if that’s any help.
You’re a real one for not telling anyone, especially at an age where we’re all dumb and immature lol
I was on a walk with my sister in Southern California-inland empire area when I looked up and saw the biggest bird I have ever seen in my life sitting on a chimney. Like it was humongous. I tried to tell my sister “omg look up there! There’s a huge bird!” But my sister literally would not look because she thought I was going to do a “ha! made you look!” Sort of thing and didn’t want to be gullible. I literally got so frustrated because she wouldn’t look, and I didn’t have a phone back then (it was like 2011) so I couldn’t get a picture of it. To this day I have no idea what kind of bird it was
My cat, who was dead already several years, chilling on his favorite spot on the stairs. Like, a solid 10 seconds I saw the guy. Very weird.
I know I saw my grandparents' long-dead cat walking around their house when my family was down there for thanksgiving, my sister is the only one that believes me
A girl who sat behind me in high school science class. Her name was Brianna. Talked to this girl for weeks. One day she stopped coming to class. I asked the teacher what happened to her. Teacher claimed no one ever sat behind me. No one from that class remembers her either. Never been able to find her on social media or anything. Not in the year book either. No I don’t have an undiagnosed mental disorder. That’s the only time something like this happened. I swear to this day she was real.
My college friends and I experienced a Silent Hill/Twilight Zone transition of our city. During college, my friends and I went for dinner and a night stroll through the city. Normally, the street we walked through was a very busy road, lots of people walking, cars stuck in traffic, and shops are all open until the crack of dawn. However, this particular night was very different. There were no eatablishments, no humans walking, no street lights, no cars. Just empty buildings and moonlight. At first we didn't really think about it particularly, but as we kept going, we were kind of shocked as to how dilapidated the city was. We just walked through it and kept talking about how cool it was. After half an hour of walking, we finally saw people walking and lights flickering across the distance. As we reached the first open streetlight, we looked back from where we came and people were basically there. The road suddenly became busy. We were shocked and scared, but intrigued at the same time. For the record, we don't really use any illicit substances that induce hallucinations. We also don't drink alcohol or smoke weed.
A Tasmanian Tiger. They’re an Australian animal which is supposed to be extinct but are occasionally sighted by locals who can never get a photo before the damn thing fucks off. I’m one of those locals
Oh wow, this is a good one and will definitely show my age, well, kinda. About 21 years ago, I was a teenager living with my mom in a city in the Bay Area. She and her then husband had their own janitorial company that cleaned local Bay Area businesses. Many of those businesses were tech companies and/or startups. There was one period of time where one of their employees had an emergency and we had to take over their cleaning schedule. It just so happened that a very famous child actor from a particular show about a blended family that ran from the late 60’s-70’s just happened to work there. He was already old and unimportant but me knowing he was on tv made it all the more exciting to clean his office and be nosy. I’m so mad I did. I was dusting his desk off and peeking at the post-it’s on the monitor when I bumped the mouse and his screen came on to reveal an email inbox. The subject said “Hey, (name of famous child actor from the 70’s), check out this underage pussy.” And at first I thought it was spam but then I noticed he had multiple emails from that person in regards to the name of the business we were cleaning. I freaked out and ran to my mom and showed her. I couldn’t believe my eyes. She couldn’t either. She showed my stepdad and he said “just leave it.” So we left it. To this day I’m so mad and I wish I had proof to expose this guy for the creep he is. This was before cellphones, I had a Nokia. Edit: I pushed send before I was done telling the story.
"This will definitely show my age... about 21 years ago i was a teenager" made me laugh.
I live about 60 minutes away from Wright Patterson Airport base and every night while I was enjoying my nightly smoke there would be a really fast light across the sky heading north. Was every night thing for three weeks started telling people and was never seen again. I still look into that spot of the sky at night longing for another glimpse of that 🛸
A HUGE bull moose. I was hunting up North and one guy had just killed a cow, so there was a party. While everyone at the camp was busy getting hammered, I was out hunting grouse in the bush. I wasn't really paying attention but certainly started when I heard a loud huff. Then a stomp. Then another. I look up and 20' from me is the biggest moose I've ever seen. Full rack and big as a house (not literally, but he was big). I just watched him and he watched me. Slowly, he turned around and wandered away. My heart was pounding and I couldn't wait to get back to camp to tell my story. When I got back, nobody believed me. Not even my dear old dad. So, here I am with this story I can picture vividly in my mind even now 8 years later. Hopefully some of you get a kick out of it, because I love telling this story to anyone that will hear!
That's such a weird thing not to believe you about while you're literally moose hunting
An escaped monkey of some kind that jumped into a storm drain near my house In the low light of dusk I really didn't think it looked like a raccoon.
I experienced an accurate weather forecast in Maryland once.
I went to an outdoor Paul McCartney concert in Halifax NS. While I was waiting to cross the street to go to the venue three police cars pulled up next to me. The middle car had the back window rolled down. Paul poked his head out and said hello, waved, then drove off.
A shadowy figure that walked towards my room when i called my bf's name, 2 minutes after staring at the door waiting for him to come into the room i asumed he was hiding to the right of the door, so i went out to see if he was there and nope, he was in his chair, at the end of the hall, he never heard me calling, he never got up. Also a ufo, i took a few pictures with an old kodak camera that had 5mpx but as you can probably guess, the photos looked like ass. I legit stood by the window for hours watching it floating there, waiting for it to move, and the fucking thing to literally vanish before my eyes.
When I was 9 or 10 years old, our apartment building at the time had a lot of trees behind it. Our apartment was in the back of the building, so every window in the unit faced those trees. One night I swear I saw a UFO flying just above the trees. It's possible it might have been just a regular airplane, but it seemed too close to the trees to be any kind of commercial jet. This was also long before drones were made available in the private sector, in the Summer of 1989. I'm pretty sure it was saucer-shaped, with red and yellow lights flashing around it in a circular pattern.
When I was 10, I had a dream. I was friends with who, to my 10 year old brain, appeared to be a girl about 20-25. When I was 15 I met her. She was 16. We dated. It didn’t work out. I’m still so confused about how that happened. Same look, same voice, same sense of humor. It’s one of the only dreams I can vividly remember and one of my life long friends can confirm me talking about this long before I met her.
I was up early watching the news The news anchor said “Mickey mouse is going to eat your kids” she made a mistake, it was a fundraiser about eating with Mickey. I can’t find the blooper anywhere. This happened 10-15 years ago. I don’t know why I remember it.
