“None Of The Doctors Have Been Able To Explain How”: 30 Disturbing Experiences People Can’t Explain
We’d like to have an explanation for everything that happens in our lives. It means that life can be predictable, and we can feel more safe. When we think of the unexplainable, an image of aliens often comes to mind. But extraterrestrials are not the only thing that we aren’t able to explain.
The answers in this thread have plenty of examples. One person online recently asked, “What’s the most unexplainable thing that has happened to you?” People shared all kinds of stories, ranging from eerie coincidences and happy accidents to just plain scary experiences that are hard to explain. Do you have a similar tale? Share it with us in the comments!

I was working in a lab that had skeletal remains, many of which were Native American ancestral remains. I was used to working with skeletons, cataloguing and measuring bones and whatnot, and had never experienced anything that felt supernatural. This lab was created to repatriate the Native American remains that had been excavated locally and been severely mishandled by the university for decades.
I had a box that contained only a skull, and when I opened the box, I *felt* anger resonating from this skull. The entire time it was out of the box, it was like someone was screaming inside my head. I finished as quickly as I could and returned the skull to its place. I had nightmares for several nights and eventually told the professor in charge about it. She was a descendant of the tribe to which these remains belonged and took me very seriously. She added extra offerings to the altar in the lab and smudged the place (burned white sage) and the nightmares stopped.
Never before nor after have I had such a visceral experience.

Nowhere close to this, but when I hold my dogs urne (with her ashes), my heart starts to twitch and dance, and I get very warm through my chest. It even happens when i am not consious of holding it, like when I move it for cleaning, until my heart starts jumping.

That's quite easily explained as a psychosomatic reaction. There's no time that your brain would not be aware of what you were touching. That said, I'm glad you get a pleasant sensation out of it.

I feel like maybe negative energy can be left behind. I don't believe in ANYTHING, but I had a weird situation when I was 18. My high school sweetheart and I went to visit his grandma. He'd warned me before going that she is an alcoholic and has mental issues. We weren't there very long, but the entire time, I kept looking into the corner of the living room just feeling like something bad and dark had happened. As we were driving away, I said "I'm sorry, but I don't ever want to go back there, it feels dark, like someone was murdered there." He slammed on the brakes and just stared at me. I thought he was mad and again said "I'm sorry!" He said "No, I can't believe you just said that. She killed my grandfather in that house." Then I was shocked and asked why she wasn't in jail, what had happened, etc. This was in 1986 and I don't even remember what his answer was, somehow she got off. Again, I don't believe in anything. But somehow I felt something there that day.

I have (or had ... it's been a while) a knack for detecting where people say a haunting exists. Other people get all scared or freaked out; I usually get a warm feeling. Not like a sensation of heat, but a familiar, comfortable, friendly feeling. I always say a prayer.

The supernatural is actually very interesting because there’s common sense that says it’s all a trick of the mind and then there are professional paranormal investigations and scenarios like this that make you think twice

My daughter was born stillborn. My ex husband and I later tried to get pregnant again for many years, including infertility treatments. Fast forward, I am divorced and later remarried to a man who is 12 years older than me, never had any kids-tried for many years with his ex. I had cancer, so I was required to be on birth control with my chemo med. As part of the requirements they did routine lab work which included a pregnancy test. I got pregnant with my IUD. They kept telling me the pregnancy wasn’t likely to be viable, but my rainbow baby was born last may as perfect as can be. None of the doctors have been able to explain how. Some things are just meant to be I guess.

5 daughters, different birth control with each, various contraceptive pills, IUD, coi, .. last one I had a implant and had a son ! (Before anyone says .. I'd asked to be sterilised after child number 3 but I was told I was too young and the local hospital gyne was also the only private Dr so not a chance and the puruasive question for why he would not operate .. would I want another child if I lost all .one in a fire !) I'm sure this would now be unethical etc but 5 grown up beautiful daughters and my gorgeous teenage, autistic but amazing, son .. guess things happen for a reason as I'd not have beautiful grand babies either

Before my husband and I ever even tried to get pregnant or decided to have kids, I had a dream that I was chasing around a blonde little boy with big brown eyes who was super rambunctious. This dream is what made me finally want to go for it and have kids.
Two years later, my son looks EXACTLY like the little boy I saw in my dream. Right down to the way his hair grows. And guess what? I chase him around my house at least 3 times a day. He’s a complete wild child. I am 100% sure I saw him in my dream before he was ever even conceived.
Right before I got pregnant with my second child, I had a dream I was holding a little dark haired baby that was looking up at me and snuggling into me. Myself, my husband, and my son were all very blonde as children and bald at birth. There was no reason to expect a dark haired baby, or really a baby with any hair at all.
Daughter was born with a thick full head of hair, dark as the night. And she is 10x more snuggly and cuddly than my son was at her stage.
TLDR: I think that my kids let me know they’re choosing me to be their mom before they come to me.

'TLDR: I think that my kids let me know they’re choosing me to be their mom before they come to me.' I've heard so many - hundreds, I've been studying this for many years - stories of children telling about previous lives, or how they picked their parents before they were born. There's no doubt in my mind reincarnation is an actual thing.

In our culture (Indian Hindu) it is commonly said that children choose their parents. I am childfree and have heard a few tell me noone chose me because its hard for them to accept my husband and I are choosing to be child free.

I had an unremarkable pregnancy with my son, 2nd child. Regular scans showed nothing worrisome. About 6 weeks before he was due, I dreamed I was in theatre ( c section) and the gynae let me see him immediately, in my dream I said "oh, he has down syndrome". Six weeks later he was born, and he has down syndrome.

All four of my kids announced themselves through dreams and visions before I conceived them. I was also given information about their future lives. I believe we have a contract to bring souls into the world, and they let us know when it's time. I also have past life recall about some of my previous lives with some of my children. In one case, we were both students and friends in Japan.

I have a few. First is when I worked at a grocery store as a teen. Manager called “code G” which was everyone bring their trash to the compactor. The manager was also a family friend so joking around was normal. As I’m throwing trash away, I sense something’s about to be thrown at me and I duck. Rotten food passes over my head. My manager/friend is shocked and questioned how i knew he was about to throw something at me and I just said I had a feeling.
Next scenario is saving my grandmother's life. I used to visit her every couple months or so. Wasn’t a far drive, 30 minutes. One day I was at Walmart and randomly thought of her. Walmart was about half way to her house and I didn’t buy perishables so I figured why not stop and see her. As I pull in her driveway, she sitting on her front porch, she looks up at me and looks back down. I immediately know somethings wrong because she always jumps up to greet me. As I approached I noticed her lips were blue and started calling 911. Her lungs were 80% filled with fluid and two collapsed heart valves. The paramedics told me if I got caught at a red light, she’d probably be dead. This was around 80 years old, she passed away at 95, a year ago.

I've done similar things, which is hilarious given how much of a klutz I am normally. But come at me unexpected, and suddenly I get lightning-quick reflexes. Twice this has resulted in me avoiding what would have been really really bad car accidents. The second time I actually had people with me to witness it and they couldn't believe how fast I maneuvered the car out of danger. Fifteen minutes later I tripped over nothing while getting out of the car and fell on my @ss.

Years ago at one of my old jobs at night the Bakery, Meat dpt and Produce would all haul our trash and cardboard to the back with the dumpster and bailer. If Management wasn't around we would have fun and throw s**t at each other all of the time. We would always clean-up any messes that we made when we were done so it was all good.

There was a huge earthquake in San Francisco in the 80s - my dad was there for a conference.
We felt the quake where we were and I suddenly started screaming "Dad!!! Dad!!! look out for the chandelier!!!!" My mom and sibs were understandably freaked out.
When we finally got ahold of him he told us that he'd been in a ballroom when the quake hit and had a sudden urge to jump to the side. A chandelier fell right where he was previously standing.
My family never talks about it - freaked everyone out severely.

Crazy event: It was briefly before a World Series game between BOTH San Francisco-area teams. A bridge collapsed, and the lower level appeared to be filled with flattened cars. They feared hundreds dead. But there were only cars along the sides of the road... and they turned out to be empty. (My huge apologies if there were some exceptions.) Apparently, people abandoned their cars and fled to watch the game.

Lived in Gilroy, CA in 1989. 20 min north of the epicenter in Hollister. If it had hit later that night and I was in bed I would have been killed. Instead I was waiting to get my hair cut at a salon. The salon was near train tracks and we thought it was a train coming in. It was so loud. But then we noticed the parking lot looking like a wave heading to us. So we all ran into the back hallway.

I live in Mexico City and was there for the September 2017 Earthquake. I volunteered at a collapsed building, removing rubble. There was a single body recovered from that building, an elderly woman, which I helped move. The body was covered, so I did not her face, but later I received the news, through several chat groups that identified the bodies by the places and times there were recovered that she was my former elementary school teacher. Freakiest thing I have ever experienced.

This isn't exactly easy to talk about nor is it something that people believe when I tell it but here it is. I died. I got drunk and decided to go for a drive to clear my head, (don't do that) it was a cool night just perfect to have the windows down and I wanted to hear the turbo whistle. It was about 11pm so not too many people out in my area. I took a sharp turn in a 25mph zone at a out 60mph about a mile from my house and rolled my truck. It was noisy, I was bloody almost instantly from hitting my nose/head, rolled I'd say probably 4-5 times. At the end of the rolls I was stopped by a loud crashing sound that was very metallic. The path I took was through someone's driveway and into their garage. I was hanging out of the passenger window, broken bones, blood everywhere, missing extremities, you can imagine the scene at this point. Some part of the door, or fender, or something had pierced my chest. All I know is it was metal. I looked down at it, heard the people in the house scream to call an ambulance and everything went black. The next thing I remember was waking up in my bed, wearing the same clothes, immediately ran outside to see my truck parked in the driveway, completely intact. I walked up to it and touched the hood and it was warm. I hadn't driven since that morning around 8am. It scared me sh**less and I ran back inside and checked my phone, then proceeded to sit in silence and stare at the floor for about 3 hours. No police reports, no news paper articles, nothing. I felt it, I saw it, I heard it. It wasn't a dream and I dont do d***s or have any kind of condition where I hallucinate. I talked to a shaman about it and she pretty much told me I died but got a second chance in another dimension/universe because it wasn't my time yet. I've had chills the whole time typing this, really freaks me out lol.

I've got the weird, fringe sci-fi theory that whenever any of us has a situation during which it feels like we just escaped death... we didn't. Our consciousness just ported over to the next universe that was formed at the moment of the incident. Everyone we've ever known who has died, remains dead to us, but lives on in the universe that what created for them at the time of their demise.

I really like the idea of the multiverse, and if it exists it's certainly possible that there's am occasional overlap or intertwining. In fact, the idea of infinite universes, such that everything physically possible happens, may even demand it. In that vein, the idea that you died in another universe and the you that continued in(to?) another universe has some memory or awareness of that other universe is very intriguing.

Sounds like quantum suicide theory in action. Said theory states that at every juncture our existence continues down a path where we survive whenever possible, meaning that (in our personal reality) we always end up living as long as we possibly can. This suggests that it's possible to backtrack down a series of forks that led to your demise and resume at an earlier state as well, which is... interesting.

If you can die from a dream I may have come really close. When I was younger I used to have what seemed like an out of body experience, where I'd be sleeping or half asleep and feel like I was rising up out of the bed. I was familiar with, and intrigued by, the concept of astral projection, but when it happen I was usually afraid to just let it happen. One night I dreamed that I was driving a road I often drive, and I passed somebody who was going too slow for my taste. I don't recall seeing anyone coming the other way or an actual crash, but in the dream I knew there had been one, and I immediately had one of the more intense feelings of leaving y bod than I ever have. In that one I fought very hard to return, and woke up with my heart racing.

Talk of multiverse theory and stories like this allways has me thinking of the time when my four year old asked me if I remembered when we were out walking with him in the stroller (basically describing a walk we had earlier that week), and then a big white van came and hit him and he died. Naturally I started to explain to him how that was not possible, but he was adamant that he got hit, he was dead, and then , all of a sudden, he was alive again and back in the stroller, continuing our walk. I don’t know.. something about the determination and details in the way he told it just gave me the chills.

Seems likely. What makes more sense, they died and somehow time was reversed and they were "Saved" or their subconscious combined scenes from the news/movies along with lectures from their parents and media about not drink driving or you'll have an accident?

I can usually tell/ smell when a woman is pregnant or menstruating. It's a subtle change and most times I don't realize what it is and so used to it I forgot other people don't. I knew the first week of my wife being pregnant and always reminded her to pack extra girl stuff before she started. Have told all my female friends they were pregnant before they knew and they all know I always carry wipes, pads and tampoons for them/ emergencies

Pretty neat trait/ability you have. I've heard of people having the ability to smell things like this, for instance if someone is sick or dying some people are able to pick up a certain scent off the person that's sick or whatever. I'm glad I don't have this ability because I'm already sensitive to certain unpleasant smells, that tend to make me gag and get sick. Also love the fact that you're prepared and have supplies for any women in your vicinity, that may need a tampoon. 😂 I might just start referring to them to this way, so thanks.

Not necessarily. I'm head gardener of a garden that includes 6 acres of woodland. I get specialist arborists in on a yearly basis to assess all the trees and their risk. And still the tree that falls over is not one they marked. Drought and wind from the non prevailing direction can do unexpected damage.

I’m a pediatric occupational therapist. The first patient I ever lost was a 2 year old girl who we knew would eventually leave us due to multiple medical problems. She passed peacefully at home, where we did all our therapy sessions. She was never not attached to multiple machines that kept her alive—a trach, vent, Co2 monitors—so many wires and alarms. A week to the day after her passing, I woke from a dream where I was holding her on my lap. Her mother was next to me, and we were playing. She was completely healed—not a wire in sight. Smiling, talking (she was not able to speak in life), and being a normal 2 year old. I knew she was ok. I already believed in heaven, but this made me believe I saw her there.

As an aside, why do you need to question and harangue someone else's story, especially a rando on the internet that you will never meet or even speak to? If you don't like the story or don't believe it, just move on.

I took a different way out of hospital not wanting to see a certain person, I backed around and hid around the dumpster area. Tripped over a person who didn’t move? Used my phone light to see and it was unconscious young guy. Checked and barely alive. I knew enough to go out and yell for help and bring Narcan? People arrived one EMT was great an got him awake they carried him inside. I checked on him the next shift and as I passed by there was the Dad & Mom hugging an taking to him. I felt good they didn’t lose their son and I heard them talking about rehab and telling them how much they loved him so I kept my mouth shut and went back to my department to work.

Serendipity. Sometimes, I get ready to work and even if I try I can't be on time and I miss the bus. Very often the same day I happen to help people (not saving their lives, though, just being there helping), finding their way in the hospital, talking to lonely elderly people who really need to connect with other humans, explaining how to use an app... When I'm on time it never happens. So now that I realized that, whenever I miss my bus I like to think that I 'm going to help somebody have a better day than me and I smile.

This happened just under 6 months ago, but i had intense dreams for about 2 weeks straight of the same man that i had never seen before in my life, and every single instance that i saw him, he was trying to hurt/k**l me. literally every time i slept, he was suffocating me with a bag, or slipping something in a drink, finding my house & stalking me, etc.
After dreaming about him for two weeks or so, i met this man irl at a gas station. we didn’t talk to each other, i knew nothing about him, but he was there and i could immediately tell it was him. i finished pumping my gas and got in my car, and this man came up in front of my car, putting his hands on the hood, and just staring at me through the windshield. it was insanely creepy, and i couldn’t leave. it was late at night so there weren’t many people nearby, and i just got this horrible gut wrenching feeling of wanting to puke because something was very wrong. i honked my horn super loud & he flinched and pulled away from my hood, so i took the opportunity to drive away. i have no idea who he was, i had never seen him before in my life, but for some reason i saw him harming me in my dreams, and i genuinely think that my fight or flight response in that moment & honking at him saved me from whatever he was going to do while camping out in front of my car.

With no lawful reason? The person is definitely sketchy. However, I wonder if it’s fair to run over and maim a creep who has not done any damage (yet), or if it’s for her own safety and perfectly logical. On one side, you have a chance of getting harmed, and on the other hand, you have maimed a person for no lawful reason at all (as recorded by security cameras, if there are any).

Our brain changes/completes our memories. Probably there was no reconocible face in his dreams. When he saw that man in that actitude, his brain completed the memories of his dreams wirh that face. From that moment, he has the certain that man was always in his dreams. To validate this type of "visions" the details must be provided before, preserved and checked after. But this would reinforce the memory and maintain It unchanged, so the "fact" will never happen

Scientists say that people whose faces we see clearly in our dreams are people we have actually seen when awake, because our brain is not able to make a face out. Chances are, OP met this guy without realizing it, maybe at that very gas station, and he really was a creepy man

First is simply that I have epilepsy. No known cause. After many years and lots of testing I had surgery that removed my left hippocampus.
Post surgery I am a different person. I like different things. I am more extroverted. I am more emotional. My epilepsy is still an issue in my life, but with the new me it’s worth it.

Epilepsy is different to lots of people (I have it too). Sometimes it emerged as a tumour or lump on the brain putting pressure on a nerve. Once the surgery had been done, the epilepsy lifted. For others, it's medication. I just want mine gone.

Perfectly healthy two year old daughter laid down happy and healthy to sleep as with every other night. It was her last earthly activity. She never woke the next morning. Autopsy didn't determine a cause of death. There is no scientific explanation as to why she's not here with me today. And that's a type of lack of closure that nearly k***ed me.

Many years ago, we were very broke. I had been laid off from my job and struggling to find work. I was sitting on the couch and there was a pillow on the floor beside me. I had two small kids and they were playing in a corner of the room about 15 feet away. I heard a random plunk and a penny had landed on the pillow beside me.
My kids had not thrown it and I had no idea where it came from. I took it as a sign that things would work out. The next day I got a call about a job.

Many years ago I woke up sick and couldn't go to school. It was the only time I have ever been sick for school. Anyway I had a small black and white tv in my bedroom and I turned it on and watched live as a space shuttle took off and then suddenly blew up. Many years later I phoned in sick from work, something I had never done before. I turned on the TV just in time to watch live as an airplane flew into a tower.

I did that once, I was dressed and made up for work and suddenly told my husband "I'm staying home." About 1:00 PM there was screaming and frantic banging on the door, the unsupervised children next door had lit their house on fire playing with matches while their granny slept. I got them in my house, ran next door and opened the front door just to see her wandering aimlessly in the smoke (she was in meds) and made her get right out, then the fire dept used our kitchen table area to coordinate some logistics after the fire was put out. I have no doubt that I was meant to be home.

So far cancer. I'm 21, when I was 20 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. If you know anything about bladder cancer it is very very common..... In people who are 70+. In people my age or younger, it is exceptionally rare. So rare that from all of recorded Medical history until 2010, there was only 125 cases worldwide of bladder cancer presenting in a patient 20 and under. Now I can think of alot to explain why I got cancer, but even my doctor was baffled. It took 7 months to diagnose because all my doctors were like there's absolutely no way you have bladder cancer. It's unheard of. Fast forward to the same doctor telling me in all his years as a urologist and all the thousands and thousands of patients he's seen with bladder cancer, I was the youngest by a long shot. Nobody that came to mind has come close to being as young as I am with the disease. He wants me to take part in genetic testing so I can know to look out for cancer in my children one day and because the medical field knows so little about bladder cancer at my age, they might learn something from my case. The good news is, in just about every single case of bladder cancer at my age, including myself, it's literally almost ALWAYS curable, and may even be one of the easiest cancers to beat. During my fight with it I did a ton of research and I couldn't find not ONE case where somebody my age died with it. Not one. It was scary nonetheless but I am here about 6 months since my surgery and chemo, I had my 3 month checkup about a month ago and so far so good. I was told it's unlikely to ever return. Tldr the most unexplainable thing that's happened to me is getting an extremely rare cancer. Edit, I wanna clarify I am all good. It didn't spread anywhere, they cut all of it out in one go, I am 100% cancer free.

On our first date, my now wife and I were hiking along a well travelled trail in a national park in TN. We had gotten turned about and ended up walking down a lesser travelled path that led to some primitive camping sites. It wasn’t until about thirty minutes down this path that she and I both stopped talking and started listening. See, we couldn’t hear anything beyond our walking. It’s a bright sunny day in the middle of spring. No birds chirping, no water running in the background, no wind rustling in the trees, and no insects buzzing around, just dead silence. She turns and looks at me as I am getting goosebumps and says, “I don’t like this, something is here.” We quickly turned around and power hiked back the way we came. A few minutes later it was like someone had flipped a switch, the sound came back all at once, birds, wind, insects, all of it. We hit one more spot later down the trail where everything stopped and the air felt heavy again. We noped out of there as fast as we could. If you are from areas around the Appalachian mountains, you know there are some things best left alone in the woods.

It could be the quiet radio effect, notice how sometimes you are thinking of a song then you walk to another room and the radio is playing the song and it's not just coincidental since both are in sync, used sometimes in subliminal stuff, especially advertising, but could also be the basis for things one's brain picked up on and finally the subliminal system got enough evidence it thought it should bring it to your conscious minds attention.

I had really intense dreams when I was pregnant, and 2 of them were visitations from departed friends. In one, I told my friend how sorry I was that there was no headstone on his grave and how my other friend and I had just been out there and lamented it 2 weeks prior. We were thinking of doing a fundraiser to put one up. He said, "Are you sure? I really don't think you need to worry about that." So the next day, the same friend and I went out to his grave, and there was THE MOST amazing headstone, with solar lights, a poem he had written, his signature emblazoned along the bottom, and a bench carved with his name to the side so people could sit and talk about him. To this day, 19 years later, I believe my friend came to tell me to visit his beautiful final resting place.

I was at my house after hanging out with my family all day. It was about 11 when I came in. I started taking my meds and heard a low creepy voice say fire, there going to be danger. (Meds are for acne). I was so scared I thought my dad was messing with me, but no one was in the house, absolutely no one. and the next day we hung out again. It was 12 when we came in to get more drinks. We all smell this horrible stench of smoke. We check every normal place, microwave/oven/fireplace. Nothing. We run downstairs and cannot find the fire. The smell is getting worse, it’s in the basement by density of smoke. We call the fire department and they find an electrical fire in our wall, it would have burned our house down if we went to bed and thought it was fine. Yeah, 12,000 in damages and it’s all fixed…. Never heard it again.

I was a roofer, highly skilled in the trade. I was loving life, working hard and planning my future.
I had just set up a roofing business too. I woke up one morning itching everywhere, looked in the mirror and seemed a bit red. I went to work as usual thinking this sun burn itches so bad!
Following few days I became slow and drearily, itching like my skin was on fire, as if thousands of bees were stinging me over and over. My skin had become covered with a hard disgusting rash . Then came the boils all over.
After being to my GP and then being sent to a specialist, it turned out I became allergic to the sun. After 28 years of being a normal outgoing outdoors kind of person... Overnight unknowingly my life has flipped. No more going out in the daytime without major coverage and special sun cream.
I've never been giver a proper answer to why this happened to me.. this "disease" or whatever it's classed as, has ruined my life. I was told to just "avoid exposure to the sun".
This was so unexpected and unexplainable.
I'm in a better place now, 4 years on since it happened. But not one day goes by without me questioning, why?.

She basically became a hermit because she couldn't leave the house without a severe flare up. After years of tests, she was diagnosed with mast cell activation. Her doctor, after a lot of trial and error, got her on a medication regimen that has given her life back and she's almost well enough to go back to work.

I wouldnt be able to pass, let alone get a good grade.
I still cant remember a single thing about the day of the exam - my friends later said I felt a bit off, more quiet than normal, but "me".
But I cannot recall anything at all about that day.

I was in high school at a friends birthday party. Her parents booked us a suite at a resort hotel, the kind with a mini water park you can use free if you’re staying in the hotel. It was a pool party/sleepover, and we got the whole suite to ourselves, though her mom was in an adjoining room. We were staying up late watching movies, one was a horror movie about a mu****er, and we were doing what teenage girls do, getting scared of nothing. Somehow we got it in our heads there was a k***er outside waiting to break in and m***er us. Me having to be the brave little skeptic decided I would prove to my friends we were safe by opening the curtains. There was a man standing right outside looking in through the window. I closed the curtains quickly, and we were all screaming. Her mom came rushing in, we told her what happened, and she checked outside but there was no man. To this day I wonder what that man was doing. Was he really a mu****er who got scared away by our screaming? Was he some guy passing by that happened to look over at the exact moment the curtains opened? Did we just imagine the whole thing from sitting up talking about how scared we were? Was he a peeping Tom trying to catch a glimpse of 14 year old girls in pajamas? Did he overhear our conversation and think it would be funny to play a prank on us? Spooky. lol.

I woke up from a nap, laughing explosively and uncontrollably. it was one the of the scariest things that’s ever happened to me. i couldn’t catch my breath and i rolled onto the floor clutching my chest, i got so scared and ran to my dad (WHILE STILL LAUGHING). i believe he thought i was joking around but i sat in the floor and it slowly stopped. never happened again.

I was still living at my parents house and at around 2:30 AM our Rottweiler was sitting at the back door barking, wanting to go out to use the bathroom. I threw on a hoodie and sweatpants and walked to the back door where I found her growling, staring out the window. It was a little unnerving but because of the dog I felt safe enough to step out with her for a minute or two. As soon as I opened the door, she bolted to the corner of our property. On the side of the lawn she chose we had one standalone lamp post providing just enough light to get a rough idea of the landscape. I started making my way over to the dog thinking that she didn’t need to use the bathroom at all and just had the zoomies or something like that, so my plan was to just grab the dog and go back inside. Suddenly, the dog does a complete 180 and hauls a*s down our property line in the direction opposite of what I was facing. I turned around to start following her again and I stopped dead in my tracks. There was this tall and thin white figure levitating probably 5-6 feet off the ground in our yard. The fear flooded my body instantly. It didn’t appear to have any limbs (from what I saw in a panic), and it almost looked like it was moving in the wind. The dog was following it, jumping and barking in an aggressive manner. The adrenaline and fear coursing through my body gave me the strength to sprint over and scoop up this 80-90 lb dog and dead sprint to the back door. I told my family the next morning and they seemed pretty spooked but they also weren’t taking it super seriously. I have no idea what I saw.

At the YMCA camp in Missouri. At the little lake swimming cutout in the lake. They had everyone get out of the deeper water because an older man with Alzheimer's had gone missing while swimming. The staff at the camp were taking walking sweeps arm in arm to try and find him. While coming out of the water I felt a gentle tug at my ankle and looked down to find the coolest shell I'd seen that day, very unique white with a blue stripe. I was walking around the small deck area that surrounds the water in an area they had cleared and looked down to find an almost identical shell. Then I noticed something at the bottom of the water. The old man, wearing white trunks with a blue waist stripe......

About 10 years ago my brother and I owned and lived in an old two story duplex. While watching TV one time I heard what sounded like something dropping on the floor and then rolling across his living room. I texted him and asked what he dropped, his reply was nothing, but he heard the sound too, and it sounded like I pushed something against the ceiling. There is only about a foot of space between our two living rooms. A different time, I was camping with my wife and awoke around 2:30 in the morning with the worst headache imaginable, but it quickly subsided. My brother was planning on meeting up with us later the next day, but called me in the morning to let me know he wasn't feeling well. I told him about my headache and he went silent. He told me he woke up at the same time with a massive headache, too. Neither of us are the type to play practical jokes or anything like that. It was weird.

My daughter and I were standing outside of a shop in a strip mall in a very suburban area. A smartly dressed man in a nice suit was approaching us and, as he did, a squirrel approached as well. Strange place for a squirrel to be. The man smiled at us, we smiled back, the squirrel scurried closer to the man, the man fixed his gaze on the squirrel, and the squirrel scurried faster toward him as he started to panic and that damn squirrel ran up the man’s leg and around his body and that grown man let out a shriek I’ll never forget. My daughter and I just watched in horror as this poor man got assaulted by a crazy a*s squirrel. The squirrel finally took off and all three of us just stared at each other like what the f**k just happened here?! It was wild.

I share a reoccurring nightmare with my twin about the Licorice man from Candy Land chasing after me (HER in her dream) in our high school. He would chase us for hours, trying to get the best of us. He looks nothing like the actual licorice man from the board game—he is made of licorice and it coils around him. The licorice looks a bit like ennard from fnaf… all wires. He had red glowing eyes. He would chase me into the bathroom and I’d hide in one of the stalls. He would slowly open one after the other until he got to ours. He already knew I was in the stall but wanted to scare me even more. He’d throw open the stall, grab me, and i’d start turning to licorice and wake up. My twin and I had this same nightmare for years without telling each other. We were terrified when we found out the other was having the same dream. My twin thinks it was a demon and she isn’t even religious.

Was in a car accident where the vehicle rolled twice over a median into oncoming traffic lanes. Ejected from the car and walked away with a scratch on my forearm. I’m pretty strict about wearing my seatbelt and for some reason I didn’t have it on this particular day. I was told if I had it on, I more than likely would have broken my neck in the crash and would be dead. Felt very out of body for the rest of the day. I am still strict about my seatbelt, and ALWAYS wear it now despite the bizarre occurrence from the crash. Crazy part was there was 5 others in the car with the same circumstances as me, we all had minor to zero injuries. It felt weird and unexplainable to walk away from that situation.

I had the exact same thing happen - car hit head-on, flipped twice and landed in the ditch upside down with me hanging from the seatbelt - no injuries. If I hadn't been wearing the belt, I would likely be dead or worse.

A friend experienced something like this. She was in the back seat, she took off her belt to pick up something or put on her sweater, something like that. The car crashed and flew through the windshield. She had some injuries, but the back of the car was completely bent, if she hadn't been ejected, she would have been crushed to death in the car. Her taking off her seatbelt just before an accident could have been a dramatic coincidence, but she was lucky

When I was 21 my at the time boyfriend (now my husband!) had moved to the outskirts of Pittsburgh. I was in the process of preparing to move there myself and came down for a visit. The first night when we were sleeping I was grabbed on the arm and pulled out of bed by a black figure. I screamed and fought and when I came to or woke up or whatever you call it I was standing out of the bed right where I had been dragged to. Everyone convinced me it was a nightmare and I put it out of my mind, until I moved into the house. I lived there for about a year and in that year I had this ame black figure come to me in my sleep multiple times. Sometimes they would stand at the other side of the room, sometimes standing right over me or grabbing me. Once they spoke and told me they wanted to bring me to hell. Eventually we did move and once we did I never had those “nightmares” again. No matter how illogical I cannot figure out how I would only have night terrors in one house without some supernatural explanation.

I kind of had something similar happen to me when I was a kid. I was about 6 years old and we lived in a 2 bedroom, 2 story townhouse. I had a really nice canopy bed in my room at the time but I had recently got this Minnie Mouse play tent. Every time I would sleep in that tent, in my bedroom, I would have the same nightmare of this woman who would hurt me. Only happened when I slept in that tent, which was really weird, especially to a young kid but even as an adult I can't explain it.

When I was a sophomore in high school (17f) I was on an ice skating trip with a school club & happened to make a friend. Which I'm not really good at doing even now due to my often reserved nature as well as being on the spectrum lol. This new friend was super sweet, had similar interests to mine & seemed really excited herself to have made a new friend. Shortly after meeting on this trip she was eager to introduce me to her friend group, which I thought was great! She insisted on introducing me to one of her good guy friends after the trip as he was picking her up after. So were sitting & waiting behind the school for her friend as well as my own ride. After not long this tall & incredibly good looking guy shows up. This dude looks so out of place at our school & even in our town. He looked like he should be at model shoot in Paris or something.he looked some where between 19-22. This is a small town where even if you don't know everyone, you at least recognize faces & I had never seen this dude before. I most certainly would have remembered. Even the way he dressed was high end. Which this town certainly isn't. As my new friend begins to introduce me, he stops her with a raised hand & spoke to me directly, calling me by name. This new friend as far as I knew & could tell by her face at this moment she hadn't told him either & was just as surprised. I ask him how exactly he knows my name & claims we had met before & really didn't like me. I have no idea who this guy is & I'm certain I would remember someone who looked like him. He then starts rattling stuff out about me, stuff I have no idea how he could know any of this. Theres no way he could have gotten it from the new friend as he was talking about stuff I hadn't shared during our meeting. And this dude definitely didn't go to our school. I tried to ask him how he knew these things, who he was, as well as trying to apologize for whatever I had done to him. But all he would say is, "it's for the best you don't remember me, because I don't want you to & never want to be around you again." Him & my new friend then walked away. The girl & I remained cool for a while. I would ask her the next I saw her what his deal was & she just said she had no idea & he wouldn't tell her either. I never saw him again, ever. I still have no clue who he was or how he knew me so well even to this day, nor what I could have possibly done to him. I often kept to myself & rarely interacted with anyone except my next door neighbors. I'm still at loss. TLDR; I made a new friend. She tried to introduce me to a friend of hers, but knows everything about me, but I don't know him.

Exactly, sometimes people change beyond any recognition during puberty. I had a friend in primary school who was one such case. Last saw him when we were 13 and then met him 2 years later and just walked past him. He stopped me to say hello. I did not recognize him at all until he told me his name, then I could tell by some features oh yeah, that’s him, but at first or even second glance no way he looked the same.

When I was in my early 20s I was looking through magazines and saw an ad that had a cape cod house in it. I liked it and cut out the picture and put it in a small box I called my junk box. It had odd things like baseball cards, photos, newspaper clippings etc... About 10 years later, I'm married and my wife finds this old junk box and brings it to me to look at the stuff inside. We start taking the stuff out piece by piece and get to the picture of the house. My wife had never seen it and I hadn't seen it in years. We both get a WTF look. The picture of the house is our house we are living in. Not exact but so many similarities. The house was on a corner lot, cape cod, same color, same type driveway, same window shutters and some of the same landscaping in front of the house. Not sure what you call it but definitely can't explain it.

I was taking a nap and had a dream I was at a festival sitting up on a hill just looking around. I noticed a storm was rolling in and even though I was sitting on the hill I could watch everything unfold, winds picked up, tents rolled all over the place, stage was falling apart and it was just chaos. I woke up from my nap and opened FB to find what I just dreamed had just happened at a Pukklepop. I have a lot of DejaVu happen but this one was the wildest of them all.

This doesn't exactly rise to an X-Files case but I have no idea how I got home from a bar one night. I was living on my own and went out with some childhood friends and my brother. The next thing I remember was waking up in my childhood bedroom in my parents' house. My brother and friends were freaking out because they had no idea what happened to me. They didn't really understand what happened. They said I had two maybe three drinks that got me really drunk then started making plans to leave when I disappeared. I drove to the bar that night so they went outside to see if my car was still there - which it was. My parents said 4 guys they had never seen carried me to the door then helped take me up stairs. My parents knew the people I was out with - including my brother. These were different people. About an hour after I woke up at my parents' house I got a message from one of the bartenders there I was friendly with. She told me she thought I was drugged. She said I had like two or maybe three drinks when I suddenly looked like I was black out drunk. The next thing she knew 4 guys she didn't know were helping me out the door. The crazy part though was the bar (and my apartment) was a solid 45 minutes from my parents' house. I have no idea who the guys were, what (if anything) was given to me, why something would have been given to me, or how they even knew where my parents lived. I don't believe anything was stolen nor was I injured in any way. My mom said the guys who took me to the door were normal looking guys about my age and perfectly polite to her. In the years since that's happened nobody has said "Bro, you were wasted that night we took you home". I just have no idea what happened.

When I turned 18 (legal drinking age in my country) was the only time in my life I got black-out drunk. Me and some friends went to a club, but I was already pretty hammered so I just sat while they went to check out the scene. Closed my eyes for what seemed like a second or two and when I opened them I was kneeling in front of the toilet in my parents house, vomiting. I have absolutely no idea how I got there. I was in the club, then I was in my parent's bathroom. I didn't have a car, and it was a good 30 min walk from one place to the other. My friends told me that when we separated I was sitting on a couch in the club and when they came back I was nowhere to be found. They looked for me but gave up after a while. They still don't know what happened, and neither do I. It freaks me out to this day, 25 years later. Never drank alcohol again.

When I said I had no idea what she was talking about, she said that she supposedly just saw me with him a minute before. I had just left my house and hadn't spoken with anyone that day, I was also like 19 and didn't know any married men, so I was confused as f**k. My mom picked me up as she was halfway through yelling at me and I never saw her again, but still to this day desperately curious what she thought she saw and what happened after to her and her husband.

When I was maybe 5 I was alone sitting on the steps of my cousin’s trailer house, it was centered in the middle of these thick woods (humble tx) but there was a clearing for like a half mile radius. A bobcat ran up to me scratched me (harshly but it was such a small cut). I cried ran inside and told them what happened, and of course they didn’t believe me and thought it was just a cat. This animal was HUGE. It still feels unexplainable how the cut was so small.

One Christmas when I was super young, I woke up slightly early and just laid awake in bed, thinking I'd hear reindeer on the roof. As I'm waiting, I listen to the faint whispering of my cousins in the living room, (which at the time I thought was elves,) They were still chattering, when I saw the most paralyzing thing. A black gloved hand quickly reached onto my doorframe, grasped it for a moment, then slipped away. I cannot describe the kind of fear I felt there. Somehow it was the only time I can remember being scared enough I couldn't react. I still don't know what happened, and my grandparents sold the house years ago.

I had to pull over, because it nearly gave me a heart attack.noone was around, no one saw all this happen but me. when i finally got to my brothers my dad called in to report the line down and the fire,.

I had a dream in roughly 2003/2004 where I was a third-party spectator as a woman walked through a snowy city crying in the night. Then, a bunch of scary looking people with dark eyes surrounded her out of the dark. She pleaded to God they they would leave her alone. One of the people looked at the sky and said, "There is no God," and then they k***ed her. In October of 2007, the movie 30 days of night came out, and that scene is in the movie, nearly exactly how I dreamt it. When I saw it in the movie, a chill went through my whole body and it was hard to breathe. I do know there is a comic book for the movie that was published in 2002. I bought it last year, but that scene wasn't in the comic from what I remember. And I was in grade 3 in 02, so I certainly didn't read it then. I attribute it to watching a ton of horror movies from a young age, and probably getting scenes mixed up in my head. My dad was legit showing me movies like the thing and pumpkin head when I was 5 lol.

It's not so much unexplainable but by far the freakiest interaction I've had with a stranger. It was 2001. I was 14. I walked to McDonald's since it was five minutes from my house. Waited on line, got my bag of food and walked over to the soda machine to fill my cup and I realized they didn't give me a lid (this was one of those plastic souvenir cups so I couldn't use a lid in the dispenser near the machine). I walked back to the counter and waited for the worker to turn and help me when a guy waiting in line next to me said, "You better do something tomorrow." To set the scene, this man wasn't a vagrant or crackhead (at least, I don't think). He was fair haired, cleanly dressed, T-shirt, shorts, and wore a Mets baseball hat with big, thick eye glasses. Young guy, probably mid-30s, early 40s. It was the kind of wardrobe that held on for dear life in the late '90s, early 2000s if that makes sense. The McDonald's was crowded, so I didn't feel isolated that if I had to, I was going to make a scene either verbally or physically. I was jarred, though, because he was speaking forward but clearly talking to me. I said, "Excuse me? Do what?" He then turned to me and said, "He's on the way out." I was now creeped out because, like, who the f**k was he talking about? I then said, "What the f**k are you saying? Who?" I'll never forget the seriousness on his face before he said, "Run." Well, I left that cup on the counter, turned around very calmly, walked out of McDonald's, and proceeded to sprint home. I lived in that town another 4 years and never saw this guy again (it was a big, but small town, so I'm surprised.) The only thing I can think of is that he just decided to mess with some random kid that day, and it ended up being me. Or he was legitimately nuts. So maybe both.

Maybe not *that* weird, but definitely weirdest thing I ever saw: While hiking in the Olympic Mountains of WA, I saw two birds flying very *very* slowly, like in super slow motion, and they perched on a branch above my head. Hard to explain how unreal and bizarre it looked, but was right in front of me. There were no updrafts of breezes, no cliff edge nearby. They were flying very slowly, in ways that should defy the laws of physics. They flew off at regular speed.

You can get updrafts on small areas of the side of the mountain of it's in the sun, and not be aware of them from where you are. I used to fly drones and small updrafts that can affect birds or drones sometimes can be in very unexpected places especially if you don't have a view of the ground under it to see where they might originate. Sounds like he was in a wooded forest so that makes sense that he wouldnt be able to see where a draft would have come from.

My father was a beekeeper. He was very proud of his bees, which he had bought decades before from monks at an abbey in Devon who keep bees known for their docile nature and which have a particular colouring. It was always immediately obvious if his bees swarmed in the summer, for example, because they looked different from all others in the area. He died suddenly (on his birthday in June) and lo and behold, there was a swarm of his bees gathered in the yew tree over his grave when we buried him. June is swarming month but it was very strange.

I've only had one incident that I can't explain. I was just leaving my part time weekend job and about to go home, when I felt like something was telling me to go check on my cattle at a rent pasture in the opposite direction. I didn't hear a voice, but felt a compulsion to do that. I did. I drove up to the gate, and I could see the cattle grazing on the opposite side of the pasture, near a busy road, and everything looked okay, so I was about to go home. Again, it felt like something was telling me to go check them closer. So I opened the gate and drove over to them. Someone had run through the fence and then drove off, leaving a large hole in the fence. If I hadn't gotten there when I did the cattle probably would have been out on the road in another half hour, and who knows how many cattle or people could have been hurt. I'm not one who sees or imagines divine intervention in everyday things, but I don't have a better explanation.

No one believes me when I tell them this. I was camping way way way in the woods at the Big South Fork years ago. Had a nice size tent, and all the cool gear. After a day strong hiking, I cooked over a fire and went to bed and slept like a baby. Around sunrise, I walked sleepily out of the tent....looked around.....and there was a bear sitting by my old campfire about 30 feet away. I was freaked out, but I did what I had learned to do....."get low'. That big bear just sat there and looked at me for what seemed like 30 minutes. Then......he just casually walked away, like he had something else to do. I'll never forget it. AND hope to never see a bear that up close and personal!

When I was in basic training (Air Force, US) I fell and cracked a tooth. I had to have major oral surgery (wisdom tooth was laying on the broken one, so both had to go) I couldn't rejoin my flight in the field; so I was sent to stay with 'little sister' flight. When I got there the MTI told me to wait in the hallway. Standing there I saw a group of the girls all gathered up around one who was crying. They kept saying "you need to go to sick call" and the girl was refusing. Curiosity compelled and I asked what was wrong. "My stomach hurts", okay, tummy ache, no big deal... but something compelled me to ask "where?". She put her hand on her right side, low down. I'd been told before that right side pain was appendicitis so I told her she really did need to go. She left, and I next saw her in Med Hold. She ran across the pad to me and told me I saved her life. Turned out it was an ectopic pregnancy, ruptured Fallopian. Years later, I know I was meant to be there, and now I'm a nurse.

I've had quite a few odd things happen to me over the years, but one of the oddest happened when I was about six months old. We were living in a small village way out in the boondocks, but on this particular day my parents had to go into London for some official business and took me with them. Afterwards, they were walking alongside one of the main streets looking at the shops, with my mum pushing me in a pram/stroller. I was always a very quiet, docile baby, hardly ever cried at all, but I suddenly started screaming hysterically and uncontrollably. My father picked me up to quieten me, seconds later a runaway car mounted the curb, ripped the handles of the pram out of my mother's hands and completely demolished it! Luckily, no one was hurt except the driver, who had suffered a heart attack and died at the wheel! I had never screamed like that, before or after. My parents always said that my guardian angel must have made me scream at that exact moment, and thus saved my life!

My father was a beekeeper. He was very proud of his bees, which he had bought decades before from monks at an abbey in Devon who keep bees known for their docile nature and which have a particular colouring. It was always immediately obvious if his bees swarmed in the summer, for example, because they looked different from all others in the area. He died suddenly (on his birthday in June) and lo and behold, there was a swarm of his bees gathered in the yew tree over his grave when we buried him. June is swarming month but it was very strange.

The bees were saying good bye. I've heard stories of it happening over the years.

I've only had one incident that I can't explain. I was just leaving my part time weekend job and about to go home, when I felt like something was telling me to go check on my cattle at a rent pasture in the opposite direction. I didn't hear a voice, but felt a compulsion to do that. I did. I drove up to the gate, and I could see the cattle grazing on the opposite side of the pasture, near a busy road, and everything looked okay, so I was about to go home. Again, it felt like something was telling me to go check them closer. So I opened the gate and drove over to them. Someone had run through the fence and then drove off, leaving a large hole in the fence. If I hadn't gotten there when I did the cattle probably would have been out on the road in another half hour, and who knows how many cattle or people could have been hurt. I'm not one who sees or imagines divine intervention in everyday things, but I don't have a better explanation.

valentine's day 1997. i got up to go to work but decided to go to dr. instead as i had been having symptoms of a sinus infection for a couple of days. on the way back home i was stopped at a light and suddenly got very dizzy & confused. the inside of the car looked distorted. my head & face felt like someone had hit me with a bat & my chest ached. this lasted maybe 30 seconds. also heard my son's voice-no words just his voice. as soon as i get home the phone rings & it's the police asking if i had a son named ____. he had been in an accident & was enroute to local hospital. got there just as he was brought in. his face had broken the steering wheel, flattening his nose & there was a bruise across his chest where his seatbelt had been. my experience made sense immediately.

We have a word in the English language which describes these situations perfectly; "inexplicable".

I got halfway through this article….and found out my cousin had succumbed to her brain tumour and passed away earlier today. She was only 46. My best friend’s dad (and my old landlord) died from suicide yesterday. This week really sucks. I feel like I’m burying myself in BP and other distractions. I came back to finish this article and it was a nice distraction, so thanks Bored Panda

When I am in a half asleep half awake state,I can sometimes sense spirits. I've felt my late cat jump on my bed and curl up next to me. And one time I felt a sad intimidating presence sit on the corner of my bed. I felt the mattress sink. I realized later that it was my late Opa, (I had always found him intimidating. Now I know it's because I could feel his depression ) Later that day my uncle, who shares his name with his father, was diagnosed with terminal Cancer.

No one believes me when I tell them this. I was camping way way way in the woods at the Big South Fork years ago. Had a nice size tent, and all the cool gear. After a day strong hiking, I cooked over a fire and went to bed and slept like a baby. Around sunrise, I walked sleepily out of the tent....looked around.....and there was a bear sitting by my old campfire about 30 feet away. I was freaked out, but I did what I had learned to do....."get low'. That big bear just sat there and looked at me for what seemed like 30 minutes. Then......he just casually walked away, like he had something else to do. I'll never forget it. AND hope to never see a bear that up close and personal!
