Most of the time, humans put logic and reasoning above everything else. It’s only natural—that’s how we explain and understand things, solve problems, and make decisions. Unfortunately, we can’t employ logic or reasoning to decipher everything. So when they fail, we resort to other intelligences of ours, like emotional, kinesthetic, and existential. But despite us being armed with so many smarts, some things still remain unexplainable to us, becoming mysteries that keep us restless for answers.
People share many such cases on the ‘Strange’ subreddit, which our Bored Panda team scoured to compile a list of some of the most fascinating instances below. To find them, all you have to do is scroll down!

Someone Is Stuffing Money In My Door Jam
Okay so today again my mom found $2 and some change. My gf came about 5 mins before and she didn’t see nothing. But yesterday when my gf came a $20 was in the door jam , then again in the afternoon another $10. Before that again, about 3 weeks ago. When my dad came in the afternoon he found about $16 in the door jam again. I’m not sure wtf this means but this is weird. Yes the bills are real. It doesn’t seem like there nothing on the bills. I’m installing a camera soon I already ordered it. We barely moved this side of the complex about 2-3 months ago.

Okay, a few questions here. Was the tracker found *inside* a closed, secured (zipped up) carry on? Or was it tucked into an external pocket? That is, is there ANY remote chance that it could have fallen into your carry-on? You are obviously right to assume this was enemy action, but it's a strange world, and occasionally unlikely things do happen. Need more information here to see if that possibility can be definitely ruled out.

My Knife Always Returns To Me
I got this Leatherman over a decade ago. I've lost it multiple times over the year including in public, but it has always reappeared within two weeks. In one particularly notable case I felt it fall out of my jackets inner pocket while leaving a crowded circus, only to have it show up on an unused chair in my office 20+ miles away.

I have this silly little watch pendant that does the same thing. One time, i had it attached to my purse while i was walking through a store. I know for a FACT it was there when i entered because i tend to fiddle with anything attached to my bag. About halfway through the store, i reached down and it wasnt there anymore. I retraced all my steps, but it wasnt on the floor either. I finally gave up and went back my to car, and there it was, sitting on top of the dashboard. Freaked me out so badly. Then not even a week later the hour hand jumped from 11 to 3 within the span of a minute. 95% certain that thing is haunted.

Found A Baby Bottle In My Cupboard That's Not Mine
today i opened a cupboard that i maybe open up once every 2 weeks to grab a mug. and i saw a lid-less baby bottle on one of the higher shelves in the cupboard. i instantly got scared because 1) i live alone 2) i don't have any children and have never owned a baby bottle!
i rarely have people over and i moved in a few months ago. things i've considered
- that it was left by previous tenants: i put down shelf liner on all of the cupboard shelves and this was sitting right on top of the shelf liner and it was front and center on the shelf, not hiding somewhere in the back
- that someone who has been in my apartment left it here: the only people who have been here are my boyfriend 1 month ago and my dad helped me move in 2 months ago. neither of them recognized it. i haven't put in a maintenance request in the last 2 months
- that i forgot to lock my doors: highly unlikely but possible. even so, why would someone come in and leave a baby bottle on a hard-to-reach shelf?
- that maybe it came from my parents house and it's an old bottle from when me and my siblings were babies: the manufacturing date on the bottom of the bottle is 24/09/10 (sept 9 2010). that is far too late for my parents to have purchased it for me or one of my siblings.

2 Random People At My Door Today
My mom thinks it’s sumth to do w me being here cs it’s never happened while she’s lived here (im a slightly? average 20 yr old female) the first guy is there for a second, looks like he takes a pic, then sees the ring and moves and says something about “she” “parking garage” & “door” on the phone, the second guy stood there 2 and a half minutes and didn’t say anything just stood there. they also look extremely out of place in this neighborhood. she is also a corner apartment so it could be casing for a robbery?? idk but i’m freaked out.

I thought that too but she did say (from my understanding) mom lived there for some time and this never happened. 20yr old white female moves back home and THEN strange men start knocking. I think they may be creeps and unfortunately imo the way they are doing so is not illegal, so while i would recommend making the police aware now for records and safety sake. I personally would have the most intimidating guy i know (my personal trainer) answer the door. If they say they have the wrong apartment when he answers say he works from home and will keep an eye out for his friend *whos apartment hes looking for, light heartedly* then thr guys will believe hes there all the time and thats why they dont see him coming and going as much as some. Keep your doors locked, be aware of your surroundings, keep yourself protected as well though!

As an adult I discovered that my Nana allowed me to play with some VERY expensive ceramic dolls. I asked her, "Why did you allow me to play with dolls that were worth thousands of dollars?".

Unearthed Og iPhone And iPod In My Yard
I dug these up a few months ago, working on a garden in my front yard. This was strange because I (and my family) have always been Android users and have never owned any Apple products. Clearly they've been buried for a LONG time. I stuck them in a box with silica gel packets to dry out and I forgot about them, because I had no means of charging them up.
Flash forward to today, and I've obtained a charger that can power these devices. I'm interested in cleaning these devices and trying to charge them to inspect the contents. Do you guys think these devices are a lost cause? If not, how could I clean them? Would there be any risk in trying to clean/charge them?

Domesticated Squirrel With Collar On?
Looking for advice/feedback. This is Samson. I work in a fairly populated area and we’ve always noticed that some of the squirrels at our birdfeeders are quite brave. At first, we just assumed it was because they’re so used to people, but lately we’ve started to wonder if someone has been feeding or even trying to domesticate them. There’s one squirrel in particular that has a collar on. It kind of looks like a child’s bracelet, and we can’t tell if someone put it there on purpose or if it just got stuck. I feel bad for the little guy and really want to help take it off. The squirrel will get pretty close to me, but I don’t think trying to grab it is the best call. I’m worried I’ll hurt it or stress it out. Should I just leave it alone, or is there a safe way to help it? My biggest fear is the collar gets stuck on something and the squirrel gets hurt. I’ve also considered calling some sort of wildlife rehabilitation, but I’m not really sure what they could do because Samson isn’t always here. Any advice is appreciated!

Who Are These Two And Why Did They Randomly Appear On The TV When It Was Supposed To Be Off??
I’m posting something weird that happened to my friend’s mother. She was cleaning out her closet in her home, alone and no TV or radio or anything on as doing so. But she felt something watching her and turned to see that not only was the TV on but the screen showed a video of a mother and what appeared to be her son. The video had no sound and no context. And the mother and son were standing and simply staring. Soon after, according to her mother, the tv had turned back off. Her mother claims its ghost but I think it might’ve been a strange signal frequency or some other plausible explanation.
Can anyone help me identify the figures or where the media might originate? I apologize for the bad photos.

On our TV, the power indicator light turns off after a minute or two so as not to distract from whatever you're watching; makes it difficult to know if it is turned off if the screen happens to go blank for whatever reason (signal interruption, broadcaster error, etc.)

Modern TV's are not "off" they're in standby. I would say a plausible explanation is that some part of the circuitry is still active and a dim picture is still being output. To say there's "no plausible explanation" shows a lack of imagination.

Weird Gelatinous Purple Blobs From Nowhere In My Water?
I filled my water bottle like I always do—first thing in the morning, straight from the tap. After a few sips, I felt something weird in my mouth and immediately spit it out. That’s when I noticed two small, purple, gelatinous blobs floating in the water (photo attached).
Here’s what I know:
•They were freely floating in the water.
•Texture: soft, jelly-like.
•Smell: faintly like Play-Doh.
•Taste: I didn’t mean to taste it (it got in my mouth by accident), but it was mostly neutral—maybe slightly floury or starchy.
•No residue in the bottle, cap, or sink.
•We haven’t baked anything or used flour recently.
•We don’t have kids, and there’s no jelly, candy, Jell-O, or similar stuff in our home.
The water bottle was clean last night and filled fresh this morning. I’m totally stumped. Could this be something from the tap? Something breaking down in the bottle? Just really confused and hoping someone has seen something like this before.

Looks like some sort of mould, possibly yeast, may have grown on the inside of the bottle cap where they didn't notice it, and which they failed to clean properly even if they washed the bottle well.

Random Hearing Aid Found In My Car On Drivers Side Floor

If I ever get hearing aids, that's where one will end up: I'll lose it doing something stupid outdoors, and eventually someone's shoe will snag that little wire and drag it along into someones' car, and it will fall off there, and the car owner will be stumped. And I will be sad because those things are expensive.

My Mom Says My Handwriting Is Strange. She Says It Looks Like If A Serial Criminal Was Using Ransom Letters To Write
ShortAttnSpanTheatre 1 month ago
Is your mom noticing a significant change from your usual handwriting? If so, see a doctor to rule out a neurological cause.
Riccola Tesla 1 month ago (edited)
this comes from a learning disability thats called Dysgraphia, i have it too and my handwriting is very similar. its basically a fine motor control issue that makes it difficult to write neatly and causes issues with spacing and spelling. it also typically comes along with Dyspraxia which is also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder which i suffer from as well that leads to difficulty with spatial reasoning. i have a terrible habit of slamming my shoulder into door frames because it is difficult for me to judge my own location in space. i have no issues driving a car since i can see the front of the car, but when walking it can be an issue. one way i have been able to help the writing part of it is to use Architectural style printing, meaning i write very slowly and in all caps, as blocky as possible, and it is much more legible. i cannot write in a way others can read it if i just write normally though. oddly enough the motor control issue doesnt translate to much else, i type fine, i play guitar fine, and i used to work in tech repair using tiny s***w drivers to insert screws smaller than a grain of rice and never had an issue with it. its just some sort of disconnect between my brain and hands when words get involved. s***s weird.

The document contains symbols, logical expressions, and text fragments that overlap with mathematical and linguistic concepts. Logical symbols: At the top of the document, symbols for logical operations such as “not,” “and,” “or,” and “it exists” are listed.... Set theory: Examples of set inclusion (a is contained in b) and similarity (a is similar to b) are given, as well as definitions for variables in relation to sets.... Bertrand Russell's paradox: One section deals with the paradox that states that “Bertrand Russell's paradox is not true if recursion is taken into account.” This paradox addresses the question of whether a set that contains all sets that do not contain themselves is itself contained.... Recursive sets: The notes also mention recursive sets (“recursive sets are strictly larger than and...”), which refers to sets for which an algorithm can decide whether an element is contained in the set....

Creepy Photos Of A House From 2004 (Context In Bio)
Good evening. I am French. Today, I cleared out my uncle's house, who passed away last July. He lived in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, near a town called Valence. He was an ASPTS in the forensic science department (specialized PTS agent) and carried out basic investigations (taking photos, collecting samples, taking fingerprints, etc.). While clearing out his house, I found this series of three rather intriguing photos in a shoebox on a shelf.
I asked my parents what they were, but they said they didn't know and didn't talk much about his work with my uncle. They date from December 2004, or at least were printed at that time. The atmosphere they convey is very unusual; the photos literally have mushrooms growing on them, which is why I named the account that.
I would like to find the location of this house, as it is probably a crime scene, given my uncle's work, but it is not very clear. That is why I prefer to remain anonymous, as it may be illegal. I am just giving the approximate location of where my uncle lived. It could also be a photo related to a crime scene, but as evidence. In addition, the photos have been pinned as if to be displayed, as they have holes in the upper part. Thank you for taking the time to read this message, and I hope to be able to provide more information about these photos and will respond to any messages if there are any.
Have a good evening, everyone.
Dusty's mom 1 month ago
I think the photos were moistened by something; humidity, leaking ceiling, or something else. The fungus probably grew from the gel medium of the photographic paper. Being from the U.S., the location is totally unknown, but it looks more like a place of business than a dwelling. And good evening to you as well.

Q-Tip In My Drawer I’ve Never Seen Before
I will start my saying I am a very detail oriented person. I am very particular about my things and the placement of things in my room. I am very organized. I recently cleaned out my entire nightstand and took every single thing out of it, threw away trash, and put everything back. I have went into my nightstand a few times this week and gotten my things I needed out of it. Today, I went into my night stand and immediately got caught off guard. I saw a q-tip with what seems like red paint on the ends of it. I don’t recognize this at all, I know if I used it in the past and saw it, it would jog my memory or something. But I literally have ZERO recollection of ever using something like this. I don’t have red paint, nail polish, or anything like that. I asked my friend, boyfriend, parents, anyone that could have put it there and they all say they haven’t. It honestly really freaked me out, not because of the item but because something unfamiliar breached something I look at almost every single day. That’s why it caught me off guard so much, I honestly got scared. I know there are explanations but it was placed in such a spot that I know I would not have missed it the last times I opened it. It wasn’t like it fell in there casually, it almost seemed like it was placed perfectly there. I doubt it’s anything supernatural but it really has just disturbed me. Everyone is telling me not to worry about it but when something unfamiliar like that shows up in my room, that I’m already very particular about, scares me. Any plausible explanation I’ve already considered, and nothing makes sense to me. I know I sound crazy but trust me when I say I would know if I’ve seen that before. Thoughts?

My Chipped Mug Repaired Itself (I Live Alone)
Last year I bought these clay hand made mugs with my girlfriend in San Diego. I’m originally from there, but was only visiting, as I now live in the U.K. Mine is the brown one and hers is the blue one.
About 4 months ago I noticed that my mug had a decent sized chip in the handle, roughly about 10mm wide. It was quite noticeable, as you could see the exposed non-glazed clay, which was a lighter color and rough to the touch. I thought this was strange as I’ve never once knowing dropped it or dinked it. I’ve always hand washed it with care. But annoying as it was, things happen…things can get damaged.
A couple weeks goes by, and one morning I come downstairs to make a cup of tea. I go to grip the handle of my mug and notice it doesn’t feel rough anymore. I go to turn it around and notice the chip is completely gone. As if it had never even been broken in the first place. Nobody could have repaired it as I still currently live on my own. Plus, there are no hairline cracks in the handle to suggest that maybe the chipped piece had been glued back on (I never had the chipped piece to begin with when I first noticed the damage).
Lastly, the mug couldn’t have been swapped with a double, as these mugs came from 5,000 away and were all 1 of 1 unique to each other. Do clay mugs self heal? Am I missing something? Or do I need to get the hell out of my house?
zububonsai 1 month ago (edited)
Hu. Could it be that easy?👉🏻 IMHO, the clue is "my girlfriend". Like , she's using or washing your mug, boinks it, a chunk splinters off (sometimes it's just one big piece instead of several). Buuuut...she doesn't have porcelain glue / super glue etc at hand. She hides the splinter and comes back WITH glue and glues it back together. Tada! and plays dumb, of course. ( I occasionally do these kind of "fairy-repairs" ). The author emphasizes living alone but a girlfriend COULD be visiting occasionally, couldn't she?

i also thought it was unsafe in a way, bc anyone - including a minor - could just take it & walk out of the store with essentially no repercussions bc there’s no way to prove purchase even if they tried.” no barcode, no buy, as someone else said. and i couldn’t just take it bc this aisle is strategically in the eyeline of the employee manning the self check out.

Book Published The Date I Bought It? Possibly AI?
So I ordered this book, “The Mind Hijackers” by Jonathan Graves on 6/19/2025 from Amazon. My boyfriend was looking through it and mentioned he felt it may have been information complied and written by AI. In the back of the book it says the publish date was 6/19/2025, same date I ordered it. When I look at the book on Amazon ( https://a.co/d/4NfUpNd ) it has 31 reviews, from dates before it was supposedly published. We were curious so we looked up the ISBN and it says it was published on 6/11/2025, but there are still reviews from before that. We think it must be an updated version or something. But it was strange. We looked up the author and he has a few books, all very similar, all published within a few months of each other. He doesn’t seem to have any qualifications or personal knowledge/research regarding psychology. I will add a few pages to this post so y’all can tell me if you think it is AI or not.

We recently had a leak at my job and had to take out some ceiling tiles to reach the affected areas. I had some free time and decided to go up and look around and found mostly nothing except thousands of dust bunnies, but the corner of this card caught my eye. It has 2 dollar amounts I assume ($4.22 & $9.49), the phrase “not fair”, and a set of coordinates I think (33.5446541, -101. 8510270) written on it, anyone have ideas on what this means? The rest of the portion of the celling I could see looked typical with just wires and debris from previous repairs.
Pictures of hole in the ceiling as well as where the card was found and the front and back of card, I was unable to scan the QR code but when i looked up the company it took me to a religious website dealing with mental health among

The Mirror In My Hotel Bathroom Is Completely Fogged Up Except For One Spot
ShortAttnSpanTheatre 1 month ago
Something was attached by suction cup there. Probably a previous guest hung their travel bag or a magnifying mirror.

Other possibilities: An air vent could be blowing directly on that spot. There might be a wall lamp on the other side of the wall that has warmed the mirror in that spot.

Most modern hotels have a heat element behind a section of the bathroom mirror so that one can shave or otherwise use the mirror after one showers.

This Randomly Appeared On My Couch
Bill Swallow 1 month ago
It's a cry for help from someone trapped in the other universe inside the couch. Maybe the White Witch has returned to Narnia?

Somebody wrote a note with a sharpie and put it on the sofa while the ink was wet? Or perhaps a notebook was left on the sofa for a while and the ink transferred? I've seen this with plastic bags and printed stuff, but this looks like handwriting.

Can Some One Explain To Me How Water Is "Alive" And What Do You Do With It?
Auntriarch 1 month ago
Living water used to be a description of moving, as opposed to stagnant water.This appears to be some religious notion.

Then ... a bottle containing 'living' water sounds like an oxymoron, surely?

I've seen an info-mercial about this. It's a religious scam. It will apparently solve all your problems if you buy it. 🙄

Is Holy Water considered living water? By the cross on the front and being from New Life Nairobi Altar, I wonder if it has been blessed and is considered living because of that.

probably for religion, you can see a cross on the picture of the world

Terribly Afraid Of Pylons For 1 Day
So basically this happened when i was about 13 or 14yrs old and I was traveling from my house to my friends a 4 hour trip. I saw a center pivot in a field and told my sister that when I was little I though they looked like giant caterpillars that were coming to get me. (I had lied for attention, I never thought that in my life and had never been scared of them) then I took a nap for about 45min, I woke up and saw a pylon and was the most scared ive been in my entire life, so terrified I wanted my dad to turn around and drive away from it, I thought it would come alive, break free from the power lines and use all four legs to run after me. I had never been so scared of pylons or any structures. The drive to my friends house was mostly farm and country type of roads so there were a lot of pylons and I had to close my eyes every time I saw one, I would ask my sister's to tell me if we were about to drive past one or not. My parents thought I was doing this for attention I come from a family of 8 kids so I did a lot of stuff to try and be noticed more. But I wasn't doing it for attention and was genuinely horrified by the sight of a pylon I couldn't bear it. I decided to take another nap so I didn't have to look out the windows and see one again, after I woke up suddenly they weren't scary at all but just totally normal just like it used to be. Now I couldn't tell my family I wasn't scared anymore because then they would definetely assume I did it for attention, so I pretended to be scared of them for a few more weeks and gradually stopped mentioning it to let them forget about. I have no idea why this happened, one of the weirdest things that happened to me.

Looks like some kind of parasomnia. Your brain wasn't fully awaken and you had weird thoughts like in a dream.

Certain ones look like giants/monsters walking in a line to me.

Are you sure you were awake? I sleepwalk, and sometimes I speak while asleep, and mix events in my dreams with the real world. It's happened to me a few times, it's as if I "project" in the "real world" what my brain is creating, and I act and speak as if I were awake, but I'm not.

Is This Tiger Tooth?

Probably just a bone carved to look like a tooth, these kind of things were popular souveniers at a time.

Every single one of these has an explanation, "No Way To Explain Them" is entirely misleading
Max Fox 1 month ago
As usual Reddit and BP continue to confuse "Unexplained (yet)" and "I was too lazy to look up the explanation" with "Unexplainable" or "Ghosts/Magic/Aliens/some other BS". People on these websites also seem to have forgotten there is thing that called "lying". I have no idea why so many people seem to believe anything that they read on the internet.
