Ghost story time.
I was living with a few of my friends a year and a half ago and we’re all pretty religious— at least two of us work in religion. We were talking about how we didn’t believe in ghosts or demons, at least in the sense that we couldn’t see them if they were real. We started talking about how if we saw one it would change our perspective entirely. I said out loud, “If something is here I wish it would just show us”.
Two nights later I’m sound asleep and have the most vivid, brutal nightmare I’ve ever had. Long story short I was in my childhood house, we were getting robbed, and the robber shot my father only it was me (I was the robber). My father and I had a very strained relationship and the detail of the shooting woke me up in tears. I mean I was SOBBING.
I looked at the foot of my bed and saw a man sitting on his heels staring at me. It looked like he was 80 years old but never hit puberty— that’s as best I can describe it. His face looked kind but his eyes looked so wicked it struck terror into my soul. He almost looked curious, but morbidly so. He was wearing clothes that looked like he was a newspaper salesman from 1890’s New York. I only saw him for a split second and he was gone. The wild thing is I got ALL OF THAT DETAIL in just a split second, like he wanted me to remember him.
HERES THE CRAZY PART. So I was spooked to s**t right? I went into our living room and watched YouTube and some twitch streams for a bit until I convinced myself I was just half asleep and still spooked. I lay back in bed and the moment my head hits the pillow my room mate sits straight up in bed (still asleep), points at the foot of my bed and says, “_______ (my name), who is that”? I LOST MY GOD D**N MIND. I literally drove home at 3am and told my parents through tears I wanted to stay home until summer.
I stayed at home for a week or so and then went back. My room mate started having night terrors after that but we moved soon after. I’ve never been so scared in all of my life.
EDIT: I’ve had question about my room mates night terrors. The one I saw happened the first night I was back.
Basically we’re both sound asleep and he wakes up screaming. I don’t mean yelling, I mean SCREAMING. It sounded like an animal in pain, for those of you who have been hunting before— he sounded like a dear screaming after being shot. I got down on the floor (he just slept on a mattress) and tried to calm him down but we locked eyes and he started to try to climb over me— still screaming. He looked afraid, absolutely terrified. After two or three minutes he stopped all of the sudden, started mumbling and went back to sleep. I was holding his hands and our fingers were locked like when you wrestle and I had bruises the next day because of how hard he squeezed.
The next morning I asked him if he remembers waking up screaming and he said, “No but I had a CRAZY dream. You got down from your bed and started attacking me but you were covered in this black sludge. Like your face was melting off but it was this tar-like goo that smelled like decay”. After that two of my other room mates and I got together and prayed in our room. Nothing quite as bad happened after that.
Some other less entertaining stuff happened like couches being stripped of their cushions and things spilling in the middle of the night. One time a bottle of wine just f*****g exploded out of nowhere and scared us to death. Thanks for the silver, was my first!
EDIT #2: To be clear, I’m a seminary student and I work in ministry for h**h school students. Not exactly a “youth pastor”, but sort of. I don’t believe in spiritual healings or anything like that, I’m much more naturalistic about my beliefs but these things really happened, whether it was a hallucination or genuine spiritual thing I have no idea, I don’t like to think about it.

Raised my kids to know that parents have to send Santa money for toys/presents. That’s why some kids get a lot and some don’t. At 17 and 13, they never brag about gifts until they know what everyone else recieved.

Teacher in middle school went out on leave to have a baby. Her replacement was so liked that they hired him on to be a constant teacher's aid, and if someone called off, he was the first sub for any class.
It was also his first job at a school, right out of university, so he was as young as he could be. A lot of the middle school girls (12-15 years old) looked up to him as a "mature hottie." I heard some disturbing things.
You can probably see where this is going.
Two girls got into a rather violent fight, clothing was ripped, hair was ripped out, blood was drawn, this wasn't just knuckles to faces until someone stopped, they were fighting to k**l.
Turns out he was sleeping with both of them, and they both thought they could keep him all to themselves until they turned 18 and got married. So, instead of getting mad at him, they got mad at each other for moving in on what they viewed as "their man."
Shortly after the fight was stopped, the principal sat them down and asked them to work backwards down the timeline to figure out who started it. So the dude was walked out in handcuffs less than 15 minutes after the fight started.

My favourite was a story I was told about a guy driving in Germany with a girl in the passenger seat (frowned upon, but you can get away with it, also she was a friend, not a h**ker) when she decides she will lay in the bed. Now that's illegal since if the truck crashes, there's no safety belt. The bed was above the cabin. Few minutes later the driver misses a roadwork and crashes the truck on the right front side. Passenger seat gone. Girl saved her life.

I was a cook in the #1 restaurant in Vancouver Wa. Around 2003-2009 a grandson of a huge hotel chain rolls up in his Lambo. He always ordered about $10 of food and tipped $100. He sat at the cooks counter and me being a line cook we hit it off for our love for college football.
One day he asked if I would come over to his house for a huge boxing match Maywether vs De La Hoya and cook for him and his family. I get there and he has several Lambos a huge house on the river and let’s me do whatever I want in the kitchen. I cook the meal for 4 people and he gives me half of his Filet Mignon and tells me to join them for the fight. I watched the fight and then cleaned and packed up and charged him $300 for the cost.
I get in my bosses car (mine was broken down and I rode my bike everywhere.) I look at the check I got and it said $1700. The cost to fix my car was $1400 so this covered it completely. I drove home with tears in my eyes. I cried myself to sleep that night. Making a cooks wages is crippling.
Fast forward to today I no longer work in the service industry and this guy just opened a homeless women’s shelter a few months ago.
I wish more more people who came into money had 1/10th heart of this guy.

I operated a premium chain restaurant in Canada. One day this Indian gentleman started coming in, at first by himself. On the first day he spent $200 on wine and tipped $1000. The next day he did the same again. When we saw him the third time I had servers fighting over him. Anyway, one evening he got drunk on wine and Brad the busboy made the mistake complementing his watch. Mr. S. takes off his Tag and gives it to Brad. The next morning Mr. S comes back to get his car and asks if Brad is there, I say yes and go get him, Brad knows what's up and is removing the watch as he walks over to Mr. S. Mr. S says, "Brad I'm really sorry I got drunk last night and gave you my watch." Brad is chuckling as he is removing the watch and says it's no problem and he was just holding the watch until Mr. S returned. The next thing Mr. S. said, I could not believe: "Brad you don't understand, I'm sorry because it was very rude of me to give you a used gift." And at that moment Mr. S pulled out a box with a brand new Tag Heuer inside and handed it to Brad.

scariest-hiking-experiences
I was on a hiking trail at South Mountain, in Phoenix, and was climbing up some steps near the top of a ridge when a bicyclist exploded over the top, sailed right over my head, and landed on the steps just below me. He didn’t fall, and was able to control his downward progress and zoom out of sight pretty quickly. But if I had been one step higher on that trail, he would have plowed right into me and might have [unalived] us both.
In case you’re wondering, that segment of the trail was not approved for bikes. He was one of those extreme bikers out for a thrill, and he managed to give one to both of us.

Installed some water alarm sensors under boiler, washing machine, dishwasher, WC, etc. Got them just because „you never know“, they use the same system as my smart smoke detectors, and they were discounted.
First night, 2AM, alarm in the whole house goes off, I wake up, look at my phone „Water leak in basement“. First thought: yeah, no way, the f£$%ing new sensor must be faulty. Go downstairs to find a broken water pipe and water spraying out of it. Without the cheap sensor, I would have woken up in the morning to find out that my basement has turned into r/poolrooms.
Edit: Wow, 1000 upvotes. I‘ve never had more than 150 or so. :).
