“What Mysterious Thing Happened To You That You Still Can’t Explain?” (30 Answers)
Interview With Expert
The majority of things that happen in life can be easily explained by logic or some area of science, whether it's economics, sociology, psychology, or whatever else. Yet, from time to time, some people experience things that have origins that aren't so solvable. So, they get stuck in people's memories for a long time, usually due to how odd or even spooky they are.
These stories are today's focus. So, let's take a trip. Just beware: some of them are rather creepy!

I heard a voice, not with my ears but also not in my head, that said, "you don't have to go home". This was as I was walking home, and for some reason, it just woke something in me. I turned around and walked away. Slept on the streets for a couple of weeks before being taken into foster care. That is how I left my abusive family. I just decided in that moment to not go home, and that was that.
Angel? Higher self? Hallucination? I have no explanation.

I had that happen to me. Abusive ex-husband and I were out, and there was major s**t going down. I sit in the car a moment after he parked, a voice in my head told me that if I went in that house I would not come out alive. Just told him I was going for a walk. He never did learn where I was living after that.

I'm guessing they changed the title because this definitely didn't happen online. Right now the title is 40 Mysterious Things That Happened To People Online That They Can’t Explain. Which based on all the stories I'm reading makes no sense!

It’s near Christmas of 1980, I’m a young teenager in the hospital (M.D. Anderson) who was going to be spending Christmas (and New Year’s) in the hospital. So it was extra important to my dad that he got me whatever I wanted for Christmas. I wanted a memory game called Simon. It was one of THE it toys to have that Christmas. Impossible to get but my dad was going to at least try.
My dad is at Toys R Us staring at the empty shelf where the Simon game would be if it were in stock. An employee with the name Matt on his name tag attached to his Toys R Us vest asked my dad if he could help him. My dad said he was looking for a Simon game. Matt simply said, “Follow me” and led my dad back to a warehouse area and there was one Simon game by itself and, without saying anything, picked it up, handed it to my dad and walked away.
My dad went to pay for it and a confused cashier asked my dad, “Where did you get this because this has been sold out for days?” My dad said Matt got it for me. The cashier, more confused now, said, “We don’t have a Matt that works here.” My dad described Matt and how he brought my dad to where it was. The cashier is now freaking out because no one with Matt’s description works there.
Both my dad and I had an extra special Christmas that year.
Five Christmas’ later I wound up working at that same Toys R Us.

Was run over by a van as a child. Dragged for 3 blocks before the van stalled when my leg covered the exhaust pipe (burning a hole in my knee). I survived with mostly burns (road rash on my face and arms), a hairline fracture in my ankle, and the hole in my knee. The bicycle I was riding somehow bent around my head and kept it from hitting the ground so I never sustained any head trauma. The chances of all of that happening are astronomically low.

To talk more about them, Bored Panda reached out to philosophy writer Jonny Thomson. He said that, in a way, he has experienced some unexplainable and overwhelming things himself brought on by, for example, love for his children: "There are times when I feel I love them with such intensity that the word love feels inadequate and the feeling spills into the religious. It feels overwhelming at times."
Classical music also brings this kind of feeling for Jonny: "I grew up near Canterbury and would sometimes sit [and] listen to choirs sing there. I would often cry and never know why. Inexplicable feelings pulled by inexplicable forces."

Several years ago, I was having a hard time with life. My mom had recently died, my dog had recently died, and I may have been going thru some sort of midlife crisis.
I decided to try meditation to try to get a grip on everything.
But I had no idea how to meditate. (Still don't), so I found a guided meditation on YouTube.
The video was pretty typical; get comfortable, focus on breathing, blah, blah, blah.
Then, he says, "I want you to focus on the memory of your best day".
Immediately, I remembered my best day. It was the summer after I graduated from high school. I had no "adult" plan and made a spur of the moment decision to take a road trip. I had quite a bit of money from all the graduation gifts.
My mom was not on board. She said there was no way she would allow an 18 year old girl to drive around the US on her own.
We were arguing about it and the friend of my stepbrother overheard. He offered to go with me.
We talked about it for weeks and begrudgingly my mom gave permission.
The first few days were awkward. I knew this boy, but didn't really *know* him.
But, with nothing else to do while driving, we talked about everything. We had so much more on common than I had previously realized. Over the course of the next couple of weeks, we became friends.
The specific memory during the guided meditation was of the 2 of us sitting in a diner. We sitting across from each other in a booth. I can perfectly remember how the sunlight reflected off his hair and in that moment, I was in love with being alive.
But here's the thing.....that never happened. None of it. I didn't go on a road trip. I never became friends with this person.
When the video told me to remember my favorite memory, the diner scene popped in my head and I somehow knew the back story.
It was one of the strangest things I've ever experienced.
I know it sounds like I just made up an imaginary story, but it didn't feel like a made up story. It was a memory. I wasn't daydreaming; I was *remembering*.

I was working as a cashier in a restaurant. The first thing we’d do after greeting a customer was get their name to write at the top of their ticket. This customer was particularly chatty, and I was making small talk with her when a very strange look came over her face and she got quiet. It was then that I realized I’d written a name, her actual name, on her ticket without ever asking her for it/being told what it was. It was her first (and s**t, probably her last) time in that restaurant.

I once was changing pants in my room before work and took off my belt. After putting on my other pair of pants, I went to put my belt back on but it belt was gone. No one else was in the room and I spent a good 10 minutes looking for it as I had simply set it on the floor. It’s been 10 years and I’ve never seen that belt again.

This happened at my ex's apartment. We were watching a movie, and a framed picture he had hanging on the wall above a chest of drawers fell off the wall. We heard it clatter to the floor and we heard the glass break. We never found the framed picture. No glass on the floor, no nothing. It was just gone.

This happened to me with a book! It fell right off the shelf, I saw where it landed, and by the time I reached behind the tv to grab it, it was gone. We even disassembled the TV stand to get it (it was a limited edition) but no luck. My tv ate my book.

My home keys have gone missing from various places (also in different places where I've lived in along the years. I hopelessly lose my things if I don't keep them always in the same place, so I meticulously do exactly that, be it the same coat pocket (always zipped close), the same purse or backbag pocket (the same goes here) or the same drawer in the same spot, or the same bowl/jar inside it (when I still had a chest of drawers by the entrance). The problem is always the same: my keys go missing for days, and I completely empty the entire container/ pocket/bag on the table, several times, with no result. Then in a random day, I do another desperate search, and Lo! the keys are now back. This also happened when I lived alone, so not the kids. Neither the pets, from a closed bag and back into it. Others have witnessed it, too. Weird.

I used to thread my watchstrap through my ring and fasten it - so I wouldn't lose my favourite ring. I got up one morning and the watch strap was fastened, but the ring had gone. I distinctly remembered putting it on the strap as I'd almost forgotten to do it. I never saw the ring again.
Yet, sometimes, even the most seemingly inexplicable things can be logically reasoned. Let's take a story about flickering lights from this list (that kind of reminds us of Stranger Things) -- maybe it can be written off as some electrical fault.
Jonny reiterated our idea that some things can be explained by something like a disease, electricity, or something similar, even if explaining it this way can seem kind of dull.
As an example, let's take the eerie feeling that someone is following you -- apparently, it can be caused by certain forms of epilepsy. Or, seeing invisibly moving things can be a sign of a certain region of a person's brain being damaged.
Then, some out-of-body experiences, a sensation of a person's consciousness leaving their body, can also be explained medically. Experts say that things like stress, trauma, and conditions like epilepsy, migraines, or even cardiac arrest can be a reason for this.

When I was taking care of my dad we used to eat hot dogs whenever I was too tired to cook. One night I got home and as I was turning the stove on I remembered we'd run out of buns. I double-checked both the fridge and the pantry, but there were none. We were completely out. So I made clam chowder and made a note to get more buns the next day. I got up at 6 the next morning and went downstairs to start breakfast, and there on the countertop, by itself, presented as if a gift, was a brand new unopened bag of hot dog buns. Dad and I had both slept through the night. So it would seem at some point between midnight and 6am, a bag of hot dog buns just materialized on the counter from the void.

When I was like 12, our power flickered on and off repeatedly one night and all the lights turned blue and made the weirdest electrical screaming sound I've ever heard in my life, it was also happening at the neighbors across the street. It lasted about 20 minutes before everything went back to normal.
My grandma was hysterical and threw me into the tub (I'm not sure why), and grandpa went outside to investigate. After a long time he came in, reassured my grandma it was just a downed power pole down the road and people were already there, and sent us off to bed. However, he didn't go back to bed and sat downstairs watching the door all night with his shotgun without sleeping. He admitted several years later that he actually had no idea wtf that was and there was no pole.
Dave Walters 1 year ago
During a brownout, the voltage is reduced, causing dimming lights and slower device performance, but power remains partially available. this can cause lights to change colour. The more rural you are the more it can happen, at least in the UK

I will say, a transformer blowing up on the power line pole makes some trippy colors until KABOOM! I was home alone as a 9 year old and I thought I was getting abducted by aliens. The whole house was flashing green, red, yellow, and blue really fast. It caught a tree on fire in our back yard, so I had a nice mental breakdown before a firetruck showed up.

Had the grandparents maybe lived in the wartime? Because then the reaction to both potential explosions (or actual bombing, or gunfire, and hence, the bathtub - sometimes also used as an emergency refuge during an earthquake, though not too effectively, I think, obviously empty tho) and maybe fearing invaders might make sense. Those traumas don't go away that easily. The OP doesn't state which country they live in, so if it was one that had been occupied... oh boy.

LOL that seems to be what grandmas do! When my sister and I were 3 (we're twins) my grandma was babysitting us one time, and my sister climbed the bookshelf in my room (to get a stuffed animal she thought was on top); the shelf started to tip over--she jumped out of the way in time, but it fell on me, cracking the back of my head. I was bleeding, so my grandma put me in the tub (to be fair to her, this actually makes sense in this situation--to keep blood from getting all over the floor) and told me to hold a washcloth to my head while she called my parents, who came home immediately and took me to the emergency room to get stitches. Fortunately I didn't have a concussion or anything.

Grandma threw you in the tub because that's one of the safest places if you're inside a house during a tornado.
Ralph Watkins 1 year ago
The bathtub is good place to be if there is a tornado. Also in an extreme electrical event it would also make sense. Older bathtubs were metal coated with porcelain. The metal cage would protect you. Back in the 1950s, my parents had an incident of ball lightning coming thru the house. Maybe that is why we have a very large, older bathtub.

When my babies were little I never went back in once they were asleep in case I woke them. One night I just knew I had to go into the room. The baby was blue and not breathing. I shook her awake, she linked up and started crying and I rushed her to the hospital where they discovered a problem with her heart. Fine ever since. Still no idea why I went in but so glad I did
But sometimes, the logical stuff isn’t the answer that is satisfying enough. Our interviewee Jonny revealed that for the topic of unexplainable phenomena, he likes to look at theological works despite not being especially religious himself. For instance, Rudolf Otto's "The Idea of the Holy" talks about numinous experiences. "It is a kind of 'overpoweringness.' It's the feeling of being swept away by intense, unswimmable currents but not necessarily in panic. It's tremendous—a mysterious kind of power that both repels in its intensity and attracts in its appeal."
Yet, instead of religiousness, Jonny assigns it all to something more similar to aesthetic experiences and moments of profound love: "That mixture of fear and attraction is, for me, at the heart of the mystery."

It’s kind of a sad but bittersweet memory. My grandma (I call her Mimi) was on hospice. We thought she had a few weeks and I planned on going to see her the next weekend again.
It was my first day back to work after the holidays and I all of the sudden felt really sick and went home, which is kind of difficult in my job especially the first day back. I was standing in my bedroom trying to figure out what I wanted to do, kind of restless and all of the sudden felt this huge emotional drop, like deeeeep all encompassing sadness. I could hardly breathe. I took a shower because it calms me, and about 5-10min later my mother called to tell me my Mimi passed. I just said, “I know.” 🥹.

i had a similar experience. 02 may 1985, i was 17 years old. i had just finished running a couple of miles. passed my mom as she was heading out to go shopping with her best friend. "by mom, have a good time. see you after work!" took a shower and was getting ready for work at burger king. i was compelled to listen the christian rock band "petra's" album. usually, the album would leave me in a good mood. but i was getting depressed. there is song on it called "graverobber", god's love comforting people when one passees away. this REALLY got me down. typical teen, shrugged it off and went to work. couple hours into my shift my sis in law showed up. my mom had died from a massive heart attack.

My mom was dying of cancer, but she seemed to holding on knowing my wife and I were expecting out first child. We were living in another state and I'd been making regular trips to see her, but as my wife's due date approached I couldn't leave her alone at that time. We had a beautiful baby girl and I called my brother immediately and told him to go tell mom about it and I'd see her soon. When he entered her hospital room she said, "Did you hear, Dave and Anne had a baby girl" and proceeded to describe her weight, length and hair color. My brother was confused as he was the only family member I'd told so he could tell mom. She died that night without getting to see her newest grandchild and I'm pretty sure she already had a perfect mental picture of her.

I had a similar experience as a teenager. But it was obvious to me who it was about. My friends and I were at a fair when I got very sad and a strange, repeating thought came up in my head: 'What about the children and grandchildren?!' This had to be about my grandma, although she had been perfectly fine that morning. So I feared the worse and rushed home to tell my parents what happened. Then the phone rang. My mom answered and my uncle told her my father's mom suddenly died. I think these words were her last thoughts. No idea how they ended up in my head. Or why.

When I was in my mid-20’s, I was back in my home town for the Christmas holidays. My old job (a small bookstore), wanted me to work while I was in town. I loved them so I agreed. One night about 8:30 I started getting so sad for no apparent reason. By the time I closed at 9:00, I was bawling all the way home. I went straight to bed cuz I was feeling just shattered. Got woken up by my dad the next morning. Said my friend Donnie was calling. I immediately knew something happened to our mutual friend Chris. Donnie told me that at about 8:30 the previous night Chris started acting strange. (we found out later that his father became schizophrenic at 25, which was how old we all were). By 9:00 he had locked himself in the bathroom, then jumped out the window and vanished. His girlfriend found him the next morning in a neighbors yard. He had run (and he was a fast runner) in the dark into a low clothes line and it broke his neck. I’m 54 now and still miss him so much.

My first grandmother to die had a heart attack on a Friday. My parents drove up on Saturday, I stayed home because well. We didn't know she was going to die and I was still in high school. I stayed with my best friend at the time. On Tuesday night, I wrote my grandma a letter, timed at 9:31pm, telling her how much I loved her and all that jazz. I didn't know until the net afternoon, but she died at 9:31, just as I was writing that letter. This was November 14, 1989. My other grandmother was on her deathbed with colon cancer. My dad was there, but I was in school and not there. At 4:44pm on Sept 30, 1994, I was on the elevator in my dorm, headed back to my room. I whipped out a pen and a notebook and wrote the date and time because I was feeling weird. It was of course the date and time on my gramma's death certificate.

Ok this is a weird one. I was about to get on the feeder road to a busy highway. As i was approaching the intersection, I heard a booming male voice IN THE MIDDLE OF MY HEAD! saying "Check you tires before you get on the highway". It was not a voice I recognized nor was the radio on. I did a hasty U-turn and went straight to a tire guy I have used in the past. As he was checking the front tires he turned the wheel to reveal the tire so badly worn you could see the metal exposed wires. My tire guy said." Good thing you came in here, if you would have gone on the highway, that tire would have blown and you could have been killed!" I know this sounds like b******t, but it happened. Nothing like that has ever happened to me before or since. No, I am not delusional or on any meds. As I said, I did not recognize that voice. It was so jarring that i did that U turn without even thinking about it. I posted this before and people said Angels or some other divine interference. I am not a religious guy or prone to that sort of easy out explaination. Still mystified after 10 years. I also have a UFO story with my Mom and brother,,,,,Ah another time,,,.

An old boyfriend and I were on our way to get dinner in another city, and we both heard the "voice" at the same time - we blurted out simultaneously "we need our seat belts on". So we put them on. Half-mile later, a driver coming around a curve ran off the road, over-corrected and hit us head-on. My vehicle burst into flames but we were able to get out. Those seat belts saved our lives.

I totally believe it. On a recent trip, whenever I accelerated more than 100 km/h, I felt uncomfortable and with a kind of unknown fear. I finished the trip without rushing and below the speed limit. When I arrived I went to check the tires and one was in the same condition as the OP's, thin, soft and with the wires showing in one area.

A bit of a back story, I was ten when my mom died. She was 29 and had been suffering with cancer for eight years when she passed. She was an awesome mom in every way despite her illness. I miss her every day. But when I was pregnant I was really missing her to the point I thought I might need counseling. I was praying to have peace about, but was very sad I didn't have her with me through this pregnancy. For the first and only time in the 49 years she's been gone I dreamed of her. I dreamed that night she was good enough to come down from heaven and spend the day with me. We did what we normally used to do which was go to Marshall Field's and shop and have lunch. It was such a happy healing time. ( I was at my grandma's house when my mom passed so I never got to say goodbye.) Anyway we finished up shopping and eating and went back to my childhood home's backyard and she gave me a kiss and a hug goodbye and told me she loved me and went back up into Heaven. I woke up and had such peace and healing. I went through the rest of my pregnancy with no issues and treasure that dream to this day.

That's a 'visit dream', not 'just' a dream but one where the soul of a departed one ACTUALLY comes to you in a dream.

she sounds like she reads the holy book, years, dates, and ages are just numbers we play around with, she does not see time the way you see it, what is important is that you believe the story.
When faced with the unknown, some others go for paranormal explanations. Typically, these experiences are attributed to something magical, folkloric, or simply supernatural.
To talk more about this, Bored Panda also got in touch with paranormal investigator Alexandré LeMay. They believe that: “Most hauntings are fragments of information stored in time after an event of intense energy and triggered through the right conditions. A smaller percentage of the time, it's an intelligent haunting, and that's where things get a little more complicated. We don't have all the answers, but I personally feel that when the soul passes on, small fragments of their being exist[s] outside of time and continue in these spaces we experience them.”
Speaking of hauntings, one of the most commonly discussed paranormal phenomena is ghosts and the big question: "Are they real?"

Not me but my grandparents story. My grandpa may have take 5 sick days off his entire career. My grandma was a stay at home wife. After he retired they both worked at a local flower shop. After about 15 years he never once took a day off. One day they were getting ready for work and he said he was feeling off and was going to stay home. She got in the car, turned it on, had a weird feeling, then decided to stay home as well since it wasn’t like him. As she opened the door she heard a thud. Turned the corner and saw my grandpa bleeding from his ears. He had a massive brain aneurysm. She called 911 and they just so happened to be about 100 yards away from their house for whatever reason. Immediate surgery at the hospital. Doctors said the aneurysm is the type that if she would have been even a minute later and the ambulance wasn’t right there, he 100% would have died. To this day she can’t explain what told her to stay home. Whether it be a divine intervention. Or being married for so long and knew something was wrong. But everything went so perfect for him to survive it.

My cousin’s husband had a bit of a cold and decided to stay home from work. My cousin had a busy day at her own job but cancelled a meeting to run home to make him some soup, something she has never done in 30 years of marriage. When she got home, he was passed out on the floor. He had sepsis and would have been dead by the time she got home at the end of the day. He spent nine days in ICU but made a full recovery.

My best friend died at 11 from an aneurysm. It was so sad and traumatic for me. She was supposed to stay the night with me, but changed her mind. She was at another friend's house. Honestly, I'm glad she changed her mind.

Something similar happened to my aunt. She told my uncle she felt like she was going to be sick, so he got out of bed to find something she could be sick into, while my aunt went to the window to get some air. My uncle went downstairs, heard a thud, and when he got back upstairs my aunt was on the floor under the window, and had passed away. After her body was examined, it was determine that she had died before her body had even hit the floor.

2017. My wife, a good friend of ours, and myself were walking in a small fishing village in the northeast. It was a small town- but no one was out that night. We were talking and walked by a dock. My wife leaned over to peer into the water. At that moment, a creature roughly three-four feet long with a splayed tail and dragonfly like features flew into her face. She screamed- and it disappeared into the dark of night. No creature like that lives in Iceland. If we all weren’t there, we wouldn’t believe it. Still have no idea what to make of it.
The next day an Icelander told us it was a troll, but I think he was messing with us.

I've been pregnant 3 times. Each time, just before I take a test and find out, my husband and I have been out for an evening walk and seen a bizarre creature, bigger than a fox, very like a maned wolf, tall and skinny, run just out of sight and disappear. Only ever when I'm pregnant, and just before I find out. Super weird

When I was 10 years old I didn't want to go to school one day. I faked a stomachache so my Grandmother would let me stay home. Ive always been a bad liar, so my Gma tried to call my bluff. She told me if I was too sick for school then she would be scheduling me a Drs Appointment. 3 hours later I was rushed into emergency surgery. My fake illness was actually appendicitis and It was so inflamed that if I hadn't come in that day my appendix would have ruptured potentially [ending] me. I felt 100% fine that day. Faking sick saved my life...
Jesha 1 year ago
Honestly? Your brain may have known there was an imbalance. Before my best friend was diagnosed with appendix cancer, they were acting REAL messed up. There was no pain at the time, but their personality was 110% off. In our whole 40 year friendship they had never once yelled at me but tore my a*s up in public over something incredibly trivial: indecision about waiting in line or joining our group. Total elapsed time: maybe 15 seconds of discussion with their husband. Absolutely snapped. It was so out of character. Sure enough two months later we found out what was up.

Surgeon needed a new boat. "Kids appendix is fine, but he won't know any different".
Basically, ghosts are believed to be inhabitants of the netherworld that visit our world from time to time in a variety of forms, depending on the witness. The belief about ghosts and the things they cause on earth is so common that in many societies, funerals are held for the deceased just so they won't come back in this form and haunt the living.
Alexandré said that when it comes to beliefs about things like ghosts, people tend to bring their own beliefs and perspectives into each experience: “A catholic tends to see entities through a demonic lens, whereas a skeptic is more likely to experience nothing at all. People tend to get exactly what they expect from hauntings. It's all so energetically intertwined that someone who doesn't believe, most of the time, will not give the situation the energy it needs to manifest, in my opinion.”
Sadly (or not so sadly, depending on how you perceive ghostly presences), it was reported that science doesn’t support ghosts' existence.
There's a machine called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which was built to help scientists answer fundamental open questions of physics. It has already helped them to learn about particle decay, find hints of new particles, and even reexamine the current knowledge about the Big Bang. Physicist Brian Cox believes that the LHC can help dismiss the existence of the paranormal, as even it seemingly can't find any tangible evidence for them being real.

I had just finished replacing all the burned out bulbs in my rented condo. I was talking to my wife and said “but when the one above the stair well goes out I’ll call maintenance for that cause I’m not climbing up there”. We then looked at that specific light and at that moment it burned out. This was like 5 years ago and we still talk about it.

College days, we had just moved into a new house and were talking about previous places we'd lived. My buddy said, "In the dorms the lights would just shut down like this" and he hit his chair's armrest for emphasis. At that instant the lights and power in the house and whole neighborhood went out for a rare 15 minute blackout.

Unless they're lazy or are hopeless procrastinators, and get around doing it only when it starts to get kinda dark in the house. Neurodiversity yay... oh, c**p. I need to replace all three in the foyer plafonde lamp. I've been planning to do it for weeks... only two have burned out, but the third will follow in short order since they're of the same age, changed at the same time. The first one going dark didn't really make a difference, but three are going to make it hard to find things in the coat rack... 😑

My sister and I were sitting in the living room reading on a cloudless day around 2 pm or so. All of the sudden, it was like I went blind. Pitch black, couldn’t even see a hand in front of your face dark. It lasted a little more than a second or two, and when I got my vision back I looked over at my sister. She had the same face I did and asked me what the f**k just happened. Big bay window in our living room so I still have no explanation of what happened.

I hit a patch of black ice in the dark going 60mph down the highway. At the time, I drove a 1 ton cargo van. It hit the guard rail and flipped. Not only did I walk away without a scratch, the car was drivable and I was only 30 min late to work.

That's almost mystical...That cargo van survived a roll over, landed on it's tires and turned into a car, all in the blink of an eye.
This, in a way, proves that those who claim to see ghosts only do so because they've led themselves to believe they have. Basically, if you think paranormal activity is real, you are more inclined to believe you have witnessed it rather than look for a logical and common-sense explanation for it.
Well, that means that we need to find another explanation for the mysterious stuff on this list, as, apparently, ghosts weren’t responsible for them. Maybe sometime in the future, another kind of research will come and disprove the one we discussed. Only time will tell.

Story starts a similar way to some other stories in here. was getting ready for school one morning in about 5th grade, put my socks on my chair, turned around to put on a shirt, turned back to chair, no more socks. weird but whatever, i dont have time to question it. i grab another pair and head to school.
the real weird part comes five years later. i’m fifteen, theres a big family dinner at my house. dad decides to get fancy and break out the cloth napkins from our dining room closet that we absolutely never open. one of my cousins opens her napkin, which had been neatly folded and not touched since i was probably about seven (my parents dont host a lot of the family get-togethers) and sitting inside is *one* of my missing socks from 5th grade. no trace of the other one to this day, and im coming up on my 22nd birthday.

Friend was visiting for a weekend nd we where chilling in the basement watching movies and catching up when i ran upstairs to the kitchen to grab a snack. When i was about to head back downstairs i noticed what i thought was my friend walking up the stairs to the uper floor so i assumed my friend was going to the bathroom. When i went back down they where as i left them chilling on the couch. After explaining we both terrified checked the house. Nobody else was ever found in the house and no sign of break in. Still cant explain it.

Husband and I went over to our friends' house. Her daughter had a few friends sleeping over. The guys were in the "bar room" drinking and shooting darts. Both of their doors were closed. My girlfriend and I were sitting at the dining room table talking & listening to music. She went down in the basement to put laundry in the dryer and I had my back to both occupied rooms. It was a small house with one bathroom. Saw one of the guy's shadows, on the wall opposite me, walk by then turn around. Figured one of the girls was in the bathroom. When my friend came back upstairs I looked and the bathroom door was open. I went to the bar room, opened the door, and told the guys the bathroom was clear now. They looked at me and said "thanks, but nobody was waiting". The shadow didn't make sense since the girls were in a room right next to the bathroom. Told my friend to ask the girls if somebody came out in the living room/dining room for a minute. They had not. She just said "Great. The spooks are back."

Had my wedding ring fall off of my finger while I had my hand dangling out of a car window while driving. Very upsetting to arrive at the hotel I was staying at to realize it had slipped off, wasn't in my pockets or in the car anywhere - checked the floorboards, under the seats, console, I even checked the trunk - and figured it was probably laying on the side of the road somewhere along a 60 mile stretch of interstate. But I was exhausted. It had been a very stressful day of travel. I checked into my hotel room, pushed my suitcase just inside the door of my room and passed out on the nearest bed. Didn't even stop in the bathroom to pee, or bother to get undressed or take off my shoes, just laid down on top of the hotel bed went straight to sleep.
Woke up the next morning and sat up looking at my ring finger now minus a wedding band. I saw a glint of light on the desk by the window on the far side of the room. I'd been so tired the night before I hadn't even closed the curtains so the sunlight was pouring in. I got up and walked over to the desk to see what it was. It was my wedding ring sitting by itself on the desktop. I must have stared at it for a solid minute trying to work out how it got there. I didn't have it when I came into the room and I up until that minute hadn't even been on that side of the room. Still can't explain how it got there.

One morning I met a couple on the east side of the state in City A. It was a holiday. They were from City B in the middle of the state, and I lived in City C on the west side. We were all visiting a landmark that day. At the time we did not discuss any of these details about where we were visiting from.
Several hours later, I was back in City C, about to have the holiday menu at a local restaurant, and I look up and there's that same couple, also about to eat.
Totally by chance, we had made reservations for the same time at the same restaurant, days/weeks ahead of time, left the same landmark on the other side of the state around the same time, and drove 250 miles to eat at the same restaurant.

Could someone clarify to me what the OP actually means? Is it an actual form of speech (maybe in somewhere specific) , or what really happened there? Hit it on a car door? Shut the door so it slammed on their ear? Or, as it first incomprehensibly seemed to me based on the structure, the ear was shut between the layers of a car door (pretty impossible, unless it's a prosthetic, but those, wouldn't hurt I suppose)? So I don't speak English as my first language, so as not to sound totally offensive. I'm just seriously confused, especially since in the comments, someone used that same expression now.

It's not an expression or slang. The OP literally shut her ear between where the door meets the frame of the car. My sister managed to do the same thing as a child. No idea how she did it. This is the first time I've heard of someone else doing it. It's been 30 years. Hope that helped. 🙂

When I was a kid I was tent camping in my friend's yard. The outside lights were shining on the one wall of the tent. I was talking to my friend and I swear to this day I saw the shadow of a man walk by but the light shown through his eyes and mouth as if they were transparent. Kind of like if you held a mask up to a light. I jumped at yelled what was that? My friend sees the shadow and unzips the tent to look but no one was there. It was too fast for someone to get away even running. We walked around the yard and house with flashlights but never found anything. That was over 40 years ago and I can still replay that sight in my mind as if it just happened.

I was shoving a cut of rail cars over a crossing, pickup truck ran the crossing (around the crossing arms) and got hit by the rear car. After the truck came to a stop, I saw a man wearing white get out of the passenger side and then saw the driver get out. I assumed they were going to switch seats for some reason (drunk, no insurance, whatever). When the police arrived, I walked down to the crossing to give them my info. I asked if the driver and passenger were ok and they informed me that there was no passenger, luckily. That's when i looked at the truck and saw that the passenger door was completely smashed into the cab where the knuckle hit it square on. I asked my conductor, who was watching the shove, if he saw a passenger, and he told me that there was only the driver.

When I was in middle school getting ready in the bathroom, I felt this random urge to look behind me at the door frame. I glanced up in the mirror and then I whip my head around…
I can’t prove what I saw and I know our minds like to play tricks on us, and I was in a super bad place mentally at this time, but; A completely black spirit or shadow was staring at me with red beaming eyes. A hefty size.
It looked like a big fat shadow man with red eyes PEEKING at me from the door frame and when I turned around it quickly hid back behind the wall of the hallway.
I swung the bathroom door closed so fast and I was so utterly shocked and speechless I didn’t say anything to my parents and I just casually continued my routine. Then I mentioned it to my friends and they were just as confused. I still cannot explain it but I remember it SO VIVIDLY.
Everytime I think about the way this… thing, stared at me I literally get mild chills and my heart races or my eyes water. I swear this ain’t no stupid b******t reddit horror short-story, I saw IT. The way the outline of its body was wispy like black smoke and its bright red eyes the f*****g way it swiftly hid behind the wall.. it’s crazy. I never ever experienced anything like that again. Even at my lowest point.
I don’t know what the hell that was but it still haunts me to this day. I just can never forget it.

When I was living at home in my parents house , I was on my stomach reading a book in bed . Out of nowhere , I felt a forceful push on my back as if someone had pressed HARD on it my spine . I was so shocked I jumped up . No one was there. I thought maybe I had had a back spasm or something … but I was young and I really really do not thing I did . Not to mention I had never had back spasms before nor since . I believe that house was haunted but this was the strangest thing to have happened there .
Another time my mom took a photo of me with my Nextel phone in my hand , on my way to school one day . I placed the phone down. And I couldn’t find it again . I tore the house up looking for that phone . It’s almost 20 years later and never turned up .

Two entirely unbeknownst men to me. But one looked at me jumped to the opening of the Van and yelled excitedly my name.

It was my first week of culinary school in 2012. I specifically remember it being end of day on Friday and putting my $1000 brand new knife kit in my locker. I remember thinking to myself "Should I bring it home?? No I already have so much stuff to carry on the bus." And I shut my locker, locked it and left. Monday rolls around and I open up my locker getting my stuff for the next lab and I noticed my knife kit is gone. It had just disappeared. I was, and still am completely baffled. I never found it. But I definitely, one hundred percent know for a fact I put that knife kit in my locker that Friday. I changed my locker without telling the college, there were rumors about security guards stealing knife kits and selling them but I don't know. So weird.

I saw my elderly Mom on Xmas one year. She was slowly failing, but had been for a few years. On New Year's Eve, I was in the bathroom and I just sort of "heard" my Mom say that she was tired. She had held on an extra 6 months for the family, drawing strength from one of us. But she was tired now and it was her time to go. I didn't hear it like a hallucination. It wasn't a daydream. It was almost like remembering something in your head that you just heard. Very real. The next day I got a call that she was in the ICU. She never went home - died about 11 days later. I have never seen a ghost or anything like that. I'm a very unimaginative person. I think this was real.

By the corner, I kept seeing this all black figurine, like the absence of anything, and lined in this fuzzy dark red, just standing there. It was scaring the c**p out of me and I finally got cross and went "dude I am trying to f*****g sleep here" towards it. Bloop, it went away and I passed out thinking I was having an anxiety attack. HOWEVER, the next morning, my eldest nibling woke up upset because they had seen THE EXACT SAME THING IN THEIR ROOM and told their mom, so when I brought it up to her later, my friend was totally freaked out.

Jeez Louis, I'd never turn off the lights or be alone in a room ever again.

Saw actual UFOs. I am a big space nut and know what satellites and the ISS look like. I was also in the navy for above water warfare and I know a lot of planes from commercial to military but I have never seen before two glowing orbs chasing each other across the sky. This was above a rural town in BC far from any major city or airport.

"Mysterious Thing Happened To You That You Still Can’t Explain". I'm 73. My father and his brother never made it past 52, and grandfather was gone at 33. All my younger brothers have died. Why am I still here? All of them were better people than I am.

Around 1998 or 1999 I worked at a little convenience store in NE WA, near the border. My roommate would come down and walk me home at 0100 in the morning so I was not walking home alone. We got 1/2 way up the hill and were talking about how the moon was so bright behind a cloud. Suddenly my roommate stopped, looked at the moon, turned around and looked at....the moon. We stood there looking for a minute looking at the "moon" behind the cloud when suddenly it dropped like a rock below the horizon. We started running home to call a friend who had a car. Before we got there we could see what looked like searchlights coming up from the location it went down. Friend came and picked us up, we drove as far north as we could reasonable get, stopped and got out and watched the searchlights dim. About that time we heard "whup, whup, whup" and saw 3 black hawk helicopters booking it toward the Canadian border. Never found out what it was.

Some years ago I was leaving my part-time job, and just about to make the right turn to go home when I felt like something was compelling me to go check my cows at a rent pasture in the opposite direction from my house, so I drove up to the gate and could see them grazing on the other side of the pasture, near a busy road. I didn't especially want to have to get out of my truck, open the gate, drive through it, close it, then repeat the process on the way out, and everything looked fine, so I was just about to back out of the driveway and go home when it felt like something was telling me to go check them closer. I didn't hear a voice, but it was more like a compulsion. So I did, and discovered that someone had driven through the fence near where the cows were, and then left. If I hadn't gone there when I did there's a very good chance the cattle would have been out on the road in another half hour, and very easily could have caused a major accident.

Most of my strange experiences are from night terrors. I've been getting them since I was very young, especially when I'm stressed out, and they're always weird. The first I clearly remember was when I was 7 and I thought the ceiling of the family room was on fire (it wasn't, of course). The weirdest one was when I was about 10 or so though, and I thought my doorknob was gone. That one led me down the path of learning to take control of my dreams (and to a lesser degree my night terrors).

This isn't as interesting, but earlier my father picked me up from work because I was too tired to drive and I found one singular sock (mine) under my seat. I hadn't taken my socks off or had any loose socks in the car at all as far as I can remember. Baffling.

When I was young, I was a speed demon. I took the same route to work every morning and drove fast bc, well, I could lol. One morning I was feeling tired and drove down my road. It had 4 lanes, 2 lanes each side for opposite directions. A car is driving next to me and starts to pass me and I think to myself I should gun the gas so I can beat these ppl but then simultaneously decided not to bc I was too tired. Well at the moment that car passed me, a car burst out of a side street going super fast a T-bones the car in front of me!! Any other day of my life I would have been that car. I would have been smashed but for some reason that day I was just too tired to bother with my usual speeding.

I saw my elderly Mom on Xmas one year. She was slowly failing, but had been for a few years. On New Year's Eve, I was in the bathroom and I just sort of "heard" my Mom say that she was tired. She had held on an extra 6 months for the family, drawing strength from one of us. But she was tired now and it was her time to go. I didn't hear it like a hallucination. It wasn't a daydream. It was almost like remembering something in your head that you just heard. Very real. The next day I got a call that she was in the ICU. She never went home - died about 11 days later. I have never seen a ghost or anything like that. I'm a very unimaginative person. I think this was real.
