Before my sister was born, my parents found a kitten. They decided to keep it, because they could find no owner. Named her Princess. Anyway, my sister is 4 years older than I am. We both grew up with this cat. She'd sometimes follow us and watch over us. My parents used to make jokes about how she thought of us as her kittens. Now, my sister wasn't very nice to me. It took a lot of people a lot of time to realise she wasn't just nasty; it was full on abuse and bullying. My sister is a narcissist, but that's not what you need to know. When I was too young to understand what was happening, I used to talk to Princess. She was like my version of a diary; I'd sit with this creature that was older than I was and tell her all my problems. One day at a store, my mum told us she'd buy us each a lolly. My sister wanted a different one to me, and grabbed my arm and clawed her nails down it so hard it drew blood. Hurt a lot and I was really upset. When we got home I went and cried to Princess about how scared I'd felt. After a while I calmed down and went and played with my toys. Princess ambled out of the room. A few minutes later I heard a shriek and she ambled back in. Turns out she'd walked up and scratched my sisters hand, then hissed at her before coming back to sit with me, and watch over me playing with my toys. My parents assume that my sister provoked her, but I know. She walked out of the room right after I'd been talking to her, and walked in right after the shriek. I can't prove it, but I think Princess saw how scared I was and showed me that she'd protect me. I've never told anybody about my white and grey guardian apart from my currant cat. I haven't thought about Princess in a while. She lived to be between 19 and 21, depending on how old she was when my parents got her (she lived with them for 19 years; was around two when they found her). I loved that cat. Funnily enough, my new cat was originally my sisters. She got him, then left him with my parents, and he slowly became mine. He likes to sit with me more than he likes her.

I don't care whether this is true (in the sense of the cat doing it on purpose) the comfort OP got from Princess is real.

Cats do protect the ones they love. I have 2 anecdotes. The first, I was around 12 yo and hiding under a blanket to confuse my dog. I was making weird noises. My 2 cats thought the dog was hurting me and attacked her all throughout the house for a min or 2, before I could stop them and show doggo wasn’t the enemy. Next, was years later, after all of them had passed and I had another kitty. My father was abusive. Whenever he would come after me or yell at me, she would run to my side. Even after he picked her up and threw her against the wall for doing so, she ran right back next to me to protect me.

I absolutely believe this. If you have a couple of cats, watch them interact. Once the orange cat was playing with a crinkle toy, which bothered the black cat, so he came over and pointedly looked at the orange cat and then STARED at the crinkle toy and message received, orange cat stopped playing with the toy. They were clearly communicating.

The orange cat didn't wanna mess with the black cat. Cause black cat was about lay whooping on him.

Back when I lived in Brazil(age 4 to 7, in this story, 6 to 7), My parents adopted a stray cat that just showed up one day. I was really close to him, and that's probably when I became a cat person. I don't have a story like this, but I did talk to him all the time. He'd even follow me up this one tree we had, we'd sit in our spots, and just chill for I don't even know how long. He was around 1 when we got him, today, he'd be around 10. I miss him, he stayed in Brazil.

I'm in line at a cafeteria. The guy in front of me is holding a pudding cup. Someone walking by stumbles and falls into pudding cup guy, knocking his pudding cup out of his hand. While everyone is looking at stumbling guy, the pudding cup goes a good two feet straight up in the air. Pudding cup guy is totally focused and at the last second turns and catches the pudding cup behind his back. He looks at me, smiles and that was that. No one else saw it.

When I was 5 I woke up from my sleep and saw a man sitting on the stairs watching me. I wasn't scared though. There was something tranquil about it. I just watched him and he watched me for what seemed like 10 minutes. Then all of a sudden he was gone. A few days later I found out my dad was killed in Europe. I live in Canada and my parents were seperated. There's pictures of me with him when I was just born but he left shortly after that. To this day, that is the only memory that I have of my dad. A ghost watching over me. I don't believe in ghosts but I know what I saw. I've never told anyone before except my mom.

Ok, I have a personal one- doesn't involve the dead, though, so didn't occur to me at first. In college- I had met the girl I was going to be married to for 23 years- and we were pretty intensely "in love.". Twice - during that time - I called her on her dorm phone, used by 20 girls - and she picked it up before it had any chance to ring. No ring on her end, no ring sound on mine- she just picked up.. You know what I think? Quantum Entanglement. Which we know is real, but barely understand.

I've seen a lot of these "I don't believe in ghosts, *but* ..." stories. Now I'm not making a judgement one way or another, but I'd love to know the storytellers' rationale for experiencing something so extraordinary and not believing there is a supernatural component. Do they think it was just in their head? If so, how do they explain the timing? Again, I'm not making judgements; I just want to know what makes these people tick.
Jenna Kay 1 year ago
As someone who has experienced things more times than I would like to admit - my rational .... 1st - the idea of a ghost, in my mind, is that it is a lost soul, one that hasn't gone on. But the beings I have experienced were not lost, they had a purpose for visiting or being where they were. I personally believe we have a certain amount of natural energy in us, all beings do, and sometimes there is a transference of that energy - something like radio waves - and that means that others can hear/feel that energy and interpret it. I also strongly believe that we are blind to much of what is going on in the world ... we just aren't wired to get it all! 1000 years ago, people had no idea that bees and dogs and elephants and fish, etc., experience everything completely different than how humans do. There are entire rainbows of colors that we can't see, sounds that are above and below our hearing, smells that we cannot detect, electrical energy that pulses that we don't even feel ....

Before we got married, my wife (then fiancé) and I went to visit my great aunt in hospital. We had just got engaged so one reason for the visit was to show her the ring. It bought her a bit of joy. Early the next morning my wife smacked my asking angrily why I switched the lights on. I didn't but it was bright as it was the middle of summer and the sun was coming through the window. It was around 6.30am. A few mins later the phone rings. It was my dad calling to tell me she had just passed away. My wife believes the light was my great aunt saying goodbye.

We had a Siamese cat. Sometimes we'd take him in the back yard with us. (Only time he was outside.) One day we were outside with him and I heard a squeak. He had caught a bird. Only problem was - he had no idea what to do with it. So he's standing there frozen, crossed blue eyes wide, while the bird flaps its wings on either side of the cat's face. My dad grabbed the cat and I removed the bird. Cat got banned from outside visits for a while. Bird flew away to plot its revenge.

I don't know how many people I have told this but nobody believes me but honestly I understand why. When I was around 8 years old I was on vacation in Europe and I was at the zoo with my cousin and she got my some helium shark balloon. When we were getting into the car i let go of the balloon for some reason and watched it float away into the sky. Devastated I tried to forget all about it. About two weeks later I continued my vacation and went to my moms village about 700km away. The first day in my moms family home we go for a walk around the property and in the corner of the field I see it. My shark balloon floated into my very own backyard to find me again.

I believe it. Because I have a vague memory of my kite getting away and me and my dad running to the wood's edge but he couldn't get catch up with the string and it flew away over the trees. I was probably 4. When I was around 10, my cousin and I were exploring the woods way way out farther than we'd ever gone before, to the edge of the salt marshes. I found a the plastic frame of a kite with some bits of blue attached to it. I didn't make the connection till I brought it home and showed it to my parents and they remembered the lost kite was blue.

A chameleon escaped from a bag when my friend was giving it to me and it leapt into a big pile of snow. I looked around for it for a while but couldn't find it so I gave up. Several weeks later the snow all melted and I was out there and found the lizard partially frozen to the ground. I peeled him off and put it in one of those little plastic tanks and sat it by the radiator in my house. Within an hour or two the lizard was hopping around the cage like nothing ever happened. It lived for several years after that, and was known to my friend and I as Jesus the resurrection lizard.

One of my teachers told us a story of having some turtles in his classroom. Over winter break a window in his class got busted by a snowplow pushing snow in too close to the building. When they came back from break the water in the tank was a complete ice block and he assumed his turtles were dead. Unsure what to to with them, he dumped the contents into a garbage can to deal with later. I don't know how much time passed, but he eventually heard them rustling at the bottom of the can, all totally fine.

We found a turtle wandering around in our yard once. We live in a Nordic country so it's not something seen in nature, ever. But we put out an advertisement and someone responded that their turtle "escaped" (we strongly suspected they got tired of it and just let it loose) but that happened before winter. We have below freezing temperatures from October to February and somehow the turtle survived that! 😲 Your story was just as amazing. What weird little creatures. 🐢

This happened to me! We used to have a pet hamster when the kids were little. the next door neighbor kid came over to play and kneeled on the poor hamster. It stopped moving and went very limp, we all thought it was dead. The kids were devastated. I felt awful for the kids and for whatever reason I picked him up and held him in my hand, my other hand on top. After a few minutes I opened my hand he was alive.

In 1997, I was 17. I was driving my gf at the time home late at night and we are sitting at a stoplight on an overpass above a freeway. An 80's dodge omni comes flying up to the light across from us and barely comes to a stop while the light is still red. I look across at the driver and he looks panicked and frazzled, and I look over at the passenger and that's when s**t got real. There was a girl with duct tape wrapped around her face and shoulders. Her hair was all f****d up and she was crying. It took me a few seconds to even process what I was seeing. I looked at my gf and she looked at me and she burst out crying and said "WTF is going on in that car?" No sooner do I look back, the guy has already turned the wrong way onto a one-way street of the service drive of the freeway (in Michigan, it's common for north-bound freeway traffic to have a north-bound local road along the side of the freeway, for which he'd turned south). I freaked the f**k out. I threw my car in reverse. I tried backtracking and flying down city streets to catch up with him. We did see him at one point in time hit a turn around onto 8 mile, he didn't have a plate on his car. I hurried up and went home (I was only about a half mile from where we were when we saw him hit the turn around). I rushed in and called the cops while my gf frantically tried telling my mom what we saw. The cops came. They took our story. There was never a missing persons story that matched what we said. My mom never quite believed us. It was written off as two teens with overactive imaginations. I know wtf I saw. I'm a man in my 30's and I'll never forget the look on that girl's face. The crazy in that guy's eyes. My gf (who later became my wife, now ex) remembers it vividly, too. That was one of the most f****d up nights of both of our lives.

In every country there are people who don't officially exist, like illegal immigrants, or people who are alone for one reason or another. If something happened to one of these persons, nobody would report them missing. No report, no enquiry, no body. They would vanish as if they had never existed. It's terrifying and terribly sad at the same time.

Or like on that Netflix documentary. Where that girls mom let one of her ex take off with her daughter. And he ended abusing her severely at a young age. And the only reason someone knows about because they investigated it. Because some tips gave out after she died by his hand. And she even had a baby by him. It crazy and it so so sad. But we can not pretend that there is not evil in the world. Or would be a fool. Because if ignore people pain? What are you? But as the years go by more and more people are like this. And that is sad. Humans are humans. If we can't compassion for each other then are we not fools. Are we not just as bad as the abusers or whatever they may be.

Then the other half came into its view. It darkened and immediately moved towards her. Very clearly was watching her. She didn't notice at first. As she eventually moved on further, it followed her as far as it could in the tank. And watched her until she disappeared around a corner out of view. I haven't a clue what caught its eye, but very clearly it was watching her, and there was intelligence there.

Happens to me sometimes for a few seconds right after I wake up. I have hypermetropia (farsightedness). It's like my eyes forget gor a few moments that they need glasses to see clear. Then, once I realize I didn't already put the glasses on and I shouldn't see this clear, my eyes revert to their usual state. It doesn't happen every morning though, so I don't think it is because of my eyes being more rested.

Luckily a staff later saw the squirell and called the police ,only to have them not belive it. But it all turned out well and the squirell was evacuated to the woods.

This could be true. I Googled it and you can have a kangaroo in Maine with a permit. And some states allow them without permits. Maybe an escaped pet? - In Illinois, Idaho, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin it is legal to keep a kangaroo as a pet, while in the rest of the US it is completely illegal. A very small number of these allow kangaroos to be kept without permits

Just so people know there is a down under zoo in ky. So there is probably a lot more kangaroos in American then we think. I didn't think I'd ever see one in my life. But I went to the down under zoo. And I can see one escape there. They also have emus there which is not native to united states. Now with that stated do you know the stories about people having exotic pets. If you have the money. You can pretty much sometimes get anything you want. Like a tiger, lion, monkey. And none of those are not native in the United States. And then there are like a ton of zoos all over the united States. There is one Louisville ky. There is one Nashville TN. One in Florida. one in Ohio I think but don't quote me on that. There is probably one in new York. And probably one in California. An who knows where else. The people in tiger king. Too they had exotic zoos with big cats they have had other animals too. I know they had elephants. So put all that in perspective. And you could see anything.

Given the photo is of an 'Angel's Trumpet' brugmansia, which is known to be both hallucinogenic and highly toxic. It's often grownas an ornamental plant in warm climates or as a houseplant. I had one at one point, the flowers smell amazing... Tho a plant that stings from touch I'd guess stinging nettles and a child's interpretation of the situation, but can't know for sure...
Fluffy mommy panda 1 year ago
Well if it hallucinogenic and can cause some one to see things. Kind of like a psychedelic. If you take into consideration that sometimes things like that, make up imaginations. And that can be through, seeing, touching, smelling and tasting. Then yes. Anyone could say this. And it might have actually felt like to them. Because hallucinations are real to the person that is having them. Some people might be Abel to know it not real. But some people may not be Abel to. And even if you know it couldn't sting you but you felt it. It would be like fighting with your mind. Between feel and logic. But your mind triggered that you felt and it it hurt. Confusing how to explain it. But that how I've come to know this. Watching up documentaries and extra. Btw that why some people go crazy when they do this or they say " never come back".

In 1994, on a farm in the southern Midwest US, five year old me had this huge yellow lab, sweetest dog in the world, who one day suddenly lost her s**t barking and ran outside. Being 5, I followed her and watched her run out into the cow pasture (where the cows were suspiciously nowhere in sight) and went toe to toe with a f*****g grey wolf. That area at that time was definitely not wolf country. Coyote sure, but there is no way it was a coyote. Thing towered over my lab, and I'd seen plenty enough coyotes before to know that this thing was not that. My lab barked her damn head off right in his face, and after about a minute he tilted his head and then just turned around and disappeared into the woods. Found all the cows at the opposite end of the pasture circled around the two calves we had. They were never that terrified of coyotes, and they had no fear of domestic dogs (my lab literally climbed over them when they laid down and would tug on their tails - cows gave no f***s). I will go to my damn grave saying it was a wolf I saw, but nobody believes me of course. I've spent years researching wolves and wolf hybrids but every picture I've seen of both the animal and the paw prints he left behind says it was very very very much more wolf than coyote or dog or even a mix.

My wife and I saw a wolf at Allerton Park in Monticello, Illinois back in the 90's. We caught sight of it chasing a deer (which are beyond plentiful in the University of Illinois - owned park) in broad daylight, from, at most, 20 yards away when it sat in the middle of the trail right in front of us. It was huge, as large as the deer it was stalking; we initially thought we were seeing 2 deer. Nobody believed us, but there's no doubt in our minds as to what we saw.

When I was about 6, my entire family was helping to build my grandparents a new house. I was helping my dad move some really long 2x4s from the lumber pile when a mouse ran out from under the board I had moved (out in the middle of the woods, mice were no big deal to any of us.) I did a double take though because THE MOUSE WAS FREAKING BLUE. I don't mean the sun reflected off its fur and it had a blue sheen to it, I mean a brilliant, royal blue. He was running fast but I got my dad to notice it too and he agreed that the mouse *really was royal freaking blue*. We've told multiple people, my mom included, and no one believes us. But we know what we saw.

I had just applied to a job at a gas station on a major interstate route in the US, and I was leaving the lobby of the rest area building.
When I pushed the door open and walked out, I saw a seagull take flight from the top of a lamp post on the far side of the parking lot, which was shaped like a rectangle, with the building at one of the skinny ends. The only reason it caught my eye was because the parking lot was empty save 1 or 2 cars besides mine, and it was like my pushing the door open also pushed a button to trigger the bird to take off, the timing was perfect.
So I'm walking down the sidewalk, and I'm watching this seagull fly in my general direction following the edge of the lot, when it gets to the corner and turns so it's going to fly *directly* over me.
I think to myself "No way...." and sure as s**t, (heh. heh.) I see this seagull drop one in midair just before it gets to me. It's flying a good 20ish feet in the air, so I simply sidestep and watch as this giant blob of bird s**t liquid splats down on the ground, perfectly where I was.
So this seagull saw me walk out the door, and instantly decided it was going to try s**t on me.

Sometime in the early 2000s my wife and I went to an Eminem concert at the House of Blues on Sunset in LA (yes I know they are tearing it down and it sucks, I saw a lot of great shows there, including his royal purple badness). Anyway the entire show, maybe 90 minutes, there was a guy dancing on stage in a full mummy suit and he is doing really awkward and funny dances that you wouldn't expect from a background dancer at a rap concert but hey he's in a mummy suit so whatever. The show ends and Eminem screams into the mic "Do y'all wanna know who the m***a f****n mummy is?" and the crowd cheers and he screams "Dustin m***a f****n Hoffman!" He pulls a zipper in the back of the costume and out comes an extremely sweaty 60something year old Dustin Hoffman and the crowd goes into a stunned silence for a few seconds and then erupts in cheers. My wife and I just kinda looked at each other in disbelief and when I tell people they always say something like oh it must have just been someone found that looked like him but that guy was Dustin m***a f****n Hoffman and no I have no proof.

When I was 5 I liked to mix various liquids... playing chemistry, I guess. My grandma let me play with all her bathroom stuff. I mixed her shampoos and creams and cleaning products, etc. (I just realize now this might have been dangerous if I had mixed ammonia and bleach, for example). I swear I created a white liquid that produced a single black bubble that would come to the surface and pop at a regular interval. No one believes me, or maybe no one cares. I guess it's not that cool.

She was a broke hairdresser at the time and as a tired single mom of twins, hair products made her feel nice and she’d saved a lot/used her employee discount to buy those hair products for herself as a treat. No black bubbles but it did turn my white teddy bear a very light shade of minty green. Sorry mama 😅 I was just a baby so I can’t blame myself but the empathy I feel for her ughhhhh ❤️🩹

When I was 10 we had a 14 year old German Shepard who was getting very sick. I was home alone momentarily as my mom went to the neighbors to pick up a book or something. Our German Shepard came over, convinced me to walk outside with him and started licking my hands, looked at me, and ran away jumping the fence and he never came back. He was so loyal and good that to this day noone believes me and thinks he was stolen because he would never leave. I'm almost certain he did that because he didn't want us to see him die and he wanted to go to the massive forest area and do his thing. I miss you buddy.
EDIT: Those of you wondering why noone believes a kid on something that does happen a lot was that we lived in Iran at the time and the dogs (especially rare purebreds) we're usually stolen so my family thought it was a result of that. .

One of my cats did this. She was a stray that we were feeding. We didn’t know her age (she was already around when we moved into the house) but she was definitely old. Had three litters in the time she was with us (we adopted 2 out of the 3 kittens from the last litter and a friend adopted the other one). One day we couldn’t find her. We kept searching for days, asking around the neighbourhood and showing her photo. No one had seen her. That was until my mom walked to a part of our backyard that wasn’t frequently visited then and not visible from the house and saw her lying dead. She had been dead for a while as there were flies and all. I was a teen and was all heartbroken about her. My parents and others who’ve had cats before all said that some animals do that when they know they’re going to die. They just go away to a secluded spot and go out peacefully. Still miss her to this day.

One night, just over three years ago we got back from his late walk, about 1am. I made a cup of tea and sat down to read, he had a drink of water and a bite to eat then jumped up onto the sofa, then out of character laid across my legs and nodded off. About 10 minutes later he took a deep breath, held it for a second then gave a large sigh and just...died. It seems he went on his own terms.

I was having a secret smoke one night and when I was finished I went to put the ashtray in my hiding place on the top of a high cupboard in my kitchen. Instead of getting the footstool I was on my tiptoes and stretching up to put the ashtray up there when I lost my balance and the ashtray slipped out of my fingers and fell down to the floor. I ducked out of the way so I didn't get covered in ash or get hit by the heavy glass ashtray and I heard it hit the ground behind me loudly and then clatter as it rolled. I sighed as I knew I'd have to clean up ash from the floor and was annoyed at myself for being clumsy. But then when I turned around to where I had heard it land there was nothing there. I honestly spent about thirty minutes looking all over that kitchen for the ashtray or even a trace of ash on the floor but there was nothing. It and its contents had simply vanished into thin air. I went to bed totally freaked out that night and had another look the next morning but it was still gone and I've never seen it again since.

I secretly smoked back in the '80's, in my parents bathroom. There was a hockey puck sized ashtray there. I was dumping it in the toilet whilst the toilet was flushing and dropped it. It broke in three pieces, two sort of oviod and the center more hour glass shaped. The hour glass piece got sucked down . I retrieved the other two pieces. Flash forward to Christmas 2012. Toilet is running slow so i take the plunger to it. And up comes the 30 years gone hourglass piece of glass .

There is no such thing as a secret smoke. You've just wrecked your sense of smell to the point where you have no clue how bad you stink after even just a few puffs. Also keeping your ashtray inside means you don't know your house stinks of ashtray... Well... STANK of ashtray...

I saw a bunch of crows, around 20+, gather around in a circle. I was like wtf and took a closer look to see 3 other crows in the middle of the circle, all on their backs. And some crows from the circle would hop in and try to peck at the 3 crows, while they cawed and tried to defend themselves with their feet. I know crows are smart and all but didn't expect this level of social behavior. It went on for a while before a kid ran in and scattered them all.

Don't eff with crows. Yes, the noise they make is annoying (CAW! CAW! CAAAAWWWW!!!!), but if you tick them off, they will not only remember you, and potentially attack you when they see you again, but they will teach their offspring about you, so you will pretty much have to leave town, lol. On the opposite side, though, there are numerous tales of people being kind to crows and having the crows then bring them "gifts".

I know this will get buried, but I HAVE TO post this. I went outside early one morning and saw this woman kneeled in my mothers flower garden. I was a little sketched out. I was like, 10 and a person I didn't know was just sitting in the middle of our garden. Not knowing what to do, I just said hello to her. She turned around and immediately apologized for being in our yard, and said that we had such nice flowers she couldn't help it. Then she walked away. I thought it was cute, didn't think any more of it, and went about my day. My mom and dad left to do errands and my brother and I were home alone. We were both watching TV. Without any warning, someone taps my shoulder behind me. I freak out, turn around, and SHE IS STANDING RIGHT BEHIND MY BROTHER AND I. She apologized immensely and then asks where my mom and dad were, and I told her they would be back anytime, but that she really shouldn't be coming into people's houses. She agreed, and asked for a pen and a piece of paper, saying she wanted to write them a note. I complied and told her to do it out in the dining room. I peered from behind a corner in my hallway and never let her out of my sight. I was beyond afraid. She calmly sets the pen down, shouts thank you from the dining room, and then walks out the front door. I bolt to the window and make sure she's gone, then I bolt to the door and lock it. Then I nervously and very slowly approached the note she left on the table. I read it and was dumbfounded. She said that she believed god spoke to her in the garden, and told her to build an alter to her grandmother. The note was her scheduling an appointment with my mother to discuss placing a tombstone and a prayer table or something in the garden. My parents got home and I freaked out, I told them my mom had to talk to this woman. She left her phone number on the note. My mom took the day off work, sat out on the porch at the time the woman said, and waited for her to arrive. She never showed up. My mom called the number on the note, only to get a disconnected message. The only proof I had of any of these things happening was the note she left. My mom and dad don't believe most of the story, and it seems even my brother forgot about it, but I know it happened.

I think OP is implying "ghost" but I'm inclined to believe dementia or something too; the disconnected number can be explained by her remembering her old number to where she used to live. Damn scary she walked right into their house, and I'm glad she was otherwise peaceable.

I swear that one day, in the middle of a pretty bad snow fall in Montreal, I was driving to meet a friend and saw a guy on a unicycle carrying a trombone. He was wearing ski goggles and just going down the street, heading somewhere. The tire on his unicycle was pretty thiçk, so I'm guessing this was his weather beater unicycle. When I got to my friend's place and explained it, they thought I was just trying to be funny. I swear it happened.

When I was about 10 or 11 we were having a get together at gma's house for the holidays. All of us cousins played all day, and when night fell we played hide and seek. While the adults smoked and drank up by the house, we stayed on the back of the property just having a good time. I was hiding in between a bush and the property fence when I heard the strangest sound. It was almost a scream, both happy and miserable at the same time. I jumped up and kinda shouted. All my cousins heard it, and we all saw it, too. It was an animal on two legs, and it ran off with really jerky motions. Being the oldest by about three years, I calmed down the crying little ones and explained as best I could that it was just someone trying to scare us. I've had nightmares about that sound; in my mind it seems a grotesque mimicry of our joyous screams and laughter as we played. None of my cousins today will admit to even remembering the incident, although the adults remembered the commotion it caused. .

Twice, now, in the ICU, I have seen a nurse in an old fashioned white uniform. Cap, white stockings, apron, etc. Just catch her walking by the door, or rounding a corner, but when I look to see where she went she's gone. One day, when I had to go through an area of the hospital I'd never been, I saw pictures of groups of women wearing the same uniform. Turns out, the hospital was a nursing college, about a hundred years ago.

Ball lightning. It was right after a thunderstorm passed by. I could see floating orbs in the sky. There were a couple of cars parked by an open field and people were watching this happen, so I parked and got out to join them. We all sorta just looked on in silence until they winked out one by one. There was at least ten of them and they seemed to fly together in patterns. Sometimes they were fast, other times they slowed down or reversed direction. They seemed small, but I could tell this wasn't because they were far up in the sky. If I were to guess, they'd be about the size of a basketball, maybe a little larger. The whole ordeal only lasted thirty minutes. We then all got in our cars and left. I tried taking pictures but it was dark and the lights were too faint to make out. I should recorded a video instead. I noticed someone was recording them at the scene so I had kinda hoped I'd see it online at some point. But it's been two years now so I guess not.

We all reacted like fifth graders would. Our teacher saw the flash but didn't believe us. Years later a bunch of us were in high school at lunch and someone said "Remember that day where the ball lighting shot across the room?" Some of us remembered it vividly. Others who had to have been in the room with us at the time swore that no such thing ever happened and the rest of us were making it up.

I did see lightning passing by my window - I was a teenager, and my room was on the first floor. I think the lightning struck the gutter and then went along the window to the ground.

In the 1990s, I was such an exercise freak. At least 4 hours a day walking and hillclimbing. I was getting cut off from current events, tv news etc. One day I'm on my way home, around 3pm.I'm crossing the street in front of our local grocery store and there's this guy on the other side of the street. His hair is a mess, standing on end. His clothes are all over the place, not ripped, but disarranged. Like he walked out of a bomb blast but he cleaner. He's looking around, silently, clearly confused. Homeless people were really uncommon in my area then and tended to be couchsurfers rather than streetsleepers. He looked too well to be a street sleeper plus he didn't seem to have a clue where he was but he turned left and wander off the my left before I crossed the road. That night, local news comes on. That afternoon a school teacher a couple of towns away had drowned. They flashed his picture up. It was the dude I saw. I'd swear to it.
Edit: detail I forgot. They never found the dude's body. Edit: well this blew up more than I expected. I'll try to answer most of the comments, those that I can. I didn't go to the cops. It didn't occur to me at the time. my gut instinct of seeing him on the news was that he was a ghost. The street was very crowded. No one was reacting to him at all. The whole thing had a funny feeling to it. Also this isn't a region where that is always a helpful move. I was actually pretty gun shy at the time because I'd been a witness in an assault case and it had resulted in severe life consequences for me with little outcome for the victim. He wasn't wet. Just really shocked and confused looking. I'd be surprised if he faked his death. By all accounts he was a decent dude from what I heard and had nothing to run from. I'm sorry I don't have more answers. This story haunted me precisely because there are none.

Cuttlefish. I remember seeing the exact same thing while out snorkeling. It was silvery-white, almost transparent swimming along, then it became striped like a zebra and tried to bury itself in the sand and when that didn't work, it became bright red and then immediately faded into a dull brown and rocketed out of there leaving a faint wisp of ink behind. It was small, some 3cm in lenght and the whole thing took maybe 30 seconds from start to finish.

It makes plenty of sense to a British person. Maths is short for mathematics; there are many different forms of maths so it is pluralized to maths. I know Sir Isaac Newton called it maths for example. Technically, neither is the wrong or right way to say it, it's just another example of differences between British English And American English. American English is either unevolved from the time when the English pilgrims split from Europe or has evolved in a different way. Maths is a perfect example of that.

While I was playing poker with a few friends, I was dealing and somehow managed to deal a royal flush on the board, giving every person a royal flush. This was well into our game and the cards were definitely well shuffled, and don't forget I'd also placed the burn cards down. The odds of this are so astronomical that, apart from the friends I was playing with, no one would believe it happened and would assume I'm just a liar.
Petra Sphinx 1 year ago
To find out the chances of this event happening, if we assume 4 people playing, we need to calculate for each the probability of a 5-card combination out of the deck (out of 52 cards for the 1st person, 47 cards for the 2nd etc) and then multiply these chances to get the overall probability. Turns out this would be indeed an astronomical chance of 1.62×10−23 (to the power of -23). A person would have more chances to find a specific grain of sand from all the beaches in the world on their first try. Btw, not here to disprove OP’s story, I just found the math cool.

It was Friday night and we were watching old school TGIF. There was a knock on the door and I jumped up to answer it (my grandma was in her bedroom and didn't hear it. I wasn't supposed to answer the door by myself, but I really liked to do it). I opened the door and no one was there. I stepped out and looked to the left and right. To the right, beside the door, my grandma kept a small table. Sitting on that table was a Mandrill. One of those primates like Rafiki from the Lion King. I don't remember it moving, I just saw it sitting there staring at me. I freaked out and slammed the door. My grandma came running out and I told her there was a monkey outside. She ran out my brother and sister ran to the door to see the monkey. I'll never forget when I ran out and that table was empty. My grandma told me I shouldn't tell tall tales and not to open the door when she wasn't around. That's been over 20 years ago and my brother and sister still make fun of my for "seeing a monkey." I've done google searches about Mandrills escaped from the zoo in rural West Virginia, but no such luck. It is still so clear in my mind I am sure it was there, though.

It was like a moth or something that looked like it, was a good couple of feet long. It was dark ish, on a main road, saw a few normal moths fly past me and as I turned my head watching them fly past I swear I saw this giant goddamn moth sat in the road; it was in the darkness between some street lights and looks like it sort of flew off further into the dark. Was a pretty bizarre experience tbh, not even like I was drunk or high or anything. I'm wondering if I saw the *Moth*ership Update: So by the replies I've received, it was either mothman, a rare/unusual 'giant moth' type that got suuuper lost, an owl or bat, or an actual honest to god borderline cryptid *Giant Moth* Good to know that others have had similar experiences though!

I think this has got to be true of a lot of different bird species -- but perhaps most others aren't bold enough to take action. I was targeted by a red-winged blackbird once, simply for walking on a city sidewalk that happened to be near its nesting area. The thing tracked me for 8 blocks, dive-bombing me until I finally found shelter inside a building. I still think that if I went back to that neighborhood today, years later, I'd have a family of blackbirds ready to take me down. ;-)

I was surf fishing at night with a friend when I was about 15. A hurricane was forming down south so the jersey shore was very rough tonight. We saw lights appear out over the water and move towards shore, it was rotating so the lights along its edge could tell us how fast it was spinning. It came toward us and was hovering a few hundred feet offshore, while the lights starting speeding up. It started moving north slowly, but spinning faster and faster. All of a sudden it just took off at an insane rate of speed. When it finally disappeared over Barnegat Lighthouse we went back to check our poles. When we started reeling in our lines, both of our lures were on the beach behind us about 30 yards down the beach. We were using striper lures as well so they needed probably 3 ounces of weight, So there's no way when we casted the wind blew it back behind us and onto the beach. I also remember the clock said 11 30by the time we got home, and I didn't think we spent 5 hours down there fishing. We used to talk about that all the time when he'd come visit the shore house, my parents would just laugh at us. Unfortunately he killed himself a year and half ago so I can't get any more details. I'll never forget it though, one of my best memories with him. Rip Jay .

Did you check for or find any new and unusual small injuries or marks on your body? If you had a time lapse, it is a VERY good chance there was a detention or outright abduction. Any headaches or gastrointestinal issues since then? Nightmares or just wierd dreams? Sorry it just sounds like a classic. Unless it's made up, but it doesn't sound like it. And, yes, it is possible your buddy had a very different experience than you. Something he felt he could not talk about. Have you had any other experiences or vague memories since then. Thoughts you just can't put your finger on to make sence?

I was sitting outside at a restaurant waiting for my food and a flying ant landed on my table. Cool, a flying ant! You don't see that too often. The flying ant then wiggled a wing into it's jaws and ripped it off! What. The. F**k. Then it wiggled it's other wing into it's jaws and ripped it the f**k off! I was obviously losing my s**t as other patrons began to stare at my reaction. The ant reflected on it's new position in life and walked off into the sunset.

Hopefully; a lot of young queens starting out usually don’t make it. Especially if she didn’t burrow down before ripping her wings off, or rationed out her wings to last her till her workers grow up and bring her more food. (This was what I was taught, but I could be completely wrong as I haven’t done like extensive research?)

I live in middle Tennessee. When I was ten, 18 years ago one night in my back yard I used a flash light because I heard a noise. At the back of our 1 acre was a field, our city was tiny back then and only had a couple thousand people. I swear I heard a lion like grumble so I used my flash light and pointed it in the darkness. At that very second I saw two glowing eyes staring at me. They were high off the ground and it was just sitting upright, and I swear it was a mountain lion. I hauled a*s inside my house. No one would ever believe me. In the last 12 months the TWRA has finally confirmed with video evidence f*****g cougars live/breed in middle Tennessee. I don't care if they think it's recent, I know for a fact that's what that was and this only confirms they've been here awhile. It's weird to see one at the Nashville Zoo, and to know they're in our woods.

Not so unusual and silly no one believed you. I live in Missouri, where there are zero breeding populations of cougars. We have confirmed sightings from time to time. I live in St. Louis county and there was a confirmed sighting in west St. Louis county - someone caught it on a trail cam in his back yard. They pass through most states from time to time, even if they don’t stay. And there’s been a few in MO that were seen more than once over a period of years so they may not breed but do claim turf.

This isn't really crazy but definitely one of those 'did that just happen, no one else seems to have noticed' things. I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers play a show about 5 years ago. It was in a basketball arena, maybe 20,000 seats. It was a great show. Towards the end of the encore, lead singer Anthony Kiedis leaves the stage and the rest of the band continues to jam for another few minutes. He walks off stage and into the tunnel which is very dark, just enough light to show his silhouette. I SAW HIM mount what looked like one of those razor scooters and take off down the tunnel on it. Like a little kid. No one in my section saw and I asked nearly everyone around me. No other witnesses, but I swear it happened.

At a seaside flat on the balcony having a cigarette (am now 17 months tobacco free, don't smoke kids!) I flicked the butt and it hovered in mid air while spinning, until maybe 5 seconds later flew off really quickly.

When I was a kid and I was living in Egypt, I went scuba diving around the reefs in Alexandria, and I saw this really creepy yellowish brownish 2 foot long serpent thing looking back at me. I immediately got out of the water and swam to shore. I looked it up later and it turns out that what I encountered was a Gunther's sea snake, apparently one of the rarest sea snakes in the world.

There are a whole bunch of both sea snakes and eels that mimic sea snakes in the eastern Mediterranean. It could have been any of those, not necessarily Gunther's which lives further east, in the Persian Gulf as well as the Indian Ocean.

I was a student at Central Michigan back in 2000 and I was driving back to campus. A pickup truck began tailgating me really closely on the rural two-lane road. Like anyone, I was getting all grumpy and offended over it. This went on for several minutes and finally I decided I was gonna brake-check him. I looked in my rear view mirror and readied the brake foot. I did not see the truck on my tail. Rather I saw him sliding upside down on his roof through someone's field, a cloud of dust rolling along behind him. I continued driving, as this didn't immediately register with me what was going on, that guy may have just ended himself. Another ten minutes down the road my brain clicked back on and I got that awful feeling like I saw someone get super injured and I just I ignored it. I turned around and drove like a maniac back to where's I thought I had seen the wreck. Got there, no emergency vehicles, no upside down truck. I can still vividly see this truck upside down and the dust cloud. TL,DR: Maybe I was tailgated by a ghost truck.

Hah. That was 100% a historical reenactor. I do Romanian Army WW1 and WW2 and one time we had taken part in a remembrance ceremony at a monument that was in a cemetery on a peninsula in the middle of a lake, very atmospheric especially since we could see a bunch of storm clouds gathering and the light was going funny as the ceremony was nearing it's end. As we were walking back to our car this old lady comes out of the church, sees a bunch of people in WW1 uniforms silhouetted against the gathering darkness, shrieks, starts crossing herself and dashes back into the church... I'm pretty sure she thought we were ghosts. EDIT: it just hit me that the church in question is the church of Saint Lazarus, so of course, if there's one place you'd expect to see resurrected people...

Watched a white light hover in the distance between two mountains, then it moved up, then down. At that point I called my buddies outside to watch it. We witnessed it move side to side, then in a perfect clockwise circle, then anticlockwise. Next it started doing tight figure eights one way, then back the other way. We watched it then move diagonally to the left then back to centre, diagonally right and then back to centre. During this we discussed the possibilities of what it could be, a helicopter, a skilled pilot, a series of spotlights? The speed at which it moved and the fact it didn't waver slightly and the fact the motion was so fluid left us without an explanation. As we discussed and watched the movements, the light moved even faster up, down and diagonally. It the sped off to the right at a speed we could barely focus on. It was now about three kilometers on the other side of the mountain and then suddenly it took off straight up and out towards the stars till it was gone. .

Saw what I think was a ghost. I was maybe 14 at that time and walking with my uncle and cousin around midnight-ish. To our left was a school but with a tall concrete wall between us. About 100 meters in front of us was this man wearing all white walking perpendicular towards the school. Not minding it much we kept walking and I s**t you not I saw the dude walk right pass the wall and just like that he was gone. My cousin I think saw it too but didn't say a word, I just saw him hold on to his dad. Me, I closed my eyes and held on to my uncle's hand until we passed the school.

I think I’ve posted about it on BP before, but years ago I was walking back to my room from the bathroom late at night and came to that sudden dead stop you do when you think you’re about to walk into someone. I assumed it was a flatmate, then realised that the male figure was walking through/along the corridor wall, so I only saw their right side. I did not turn round to see what happened after he walked past me! No, siree, I was back into my room with the door locked ASAP!

When I was a little kid, about 9/10, I was sat on the bay window in my room and saw an object in the sky. It was moving straight up and was covered in little dots of coloured lights, some of the colours I didn't recognise. I jumped off the bed to grab a pair of those s****y binoculars everyone had as a kid, but in the 5ish seconds that took, it had moved out of the angle my window let me see. The 2nd, I was in the car with my mum when I was 15ish. We were just driving down the street and as we drove past a bus stop, there was a woman sitting there. She didn't have a lower jaw, it was just missing. Her tongue was just flopping about. I have no idea if people can be without jaws, but I'd just watched The Ring and it freaked me the hell out. Another I've just remembered, when I was 13ish, our 1st family dog died, he was a Jack Russell, mostly black, with a white chest and a few brown markings and he used to sleep in my parents room. I was on the computer chatting on MSM, the computer room was next to my parents room. The way the PC was located made it so I could see the door, but only out of the corner of my eye. I saw a black shadow, a similar shape and size to the dog run past the door into my parents room. I like to think it was his last time visiting us before sleeping and going wherever he was going next.

While having a picnic at dusk by an airfield in San Antonio in 96 or 97, my girlfriend and I saw a space shuttle land and quickly get taken away with out anyone else around. I was thinking the air traffic was pretty light and was bummed because normally there were a lot of of big air force transports that would land there, but this particular evening there was nada. And then I saw something coming in very fast and very steep. I could tell it was a shuttle before it touched down. It was an unidentified space craft... literally... it had no markings that I recall. It was met by one of those tow truck rigs and was taken immediately to a hanger. The doors were promptly closed. No press. No nothing. It wasn't until later I read about the CIA blue space program.

Allegedly the "blue space program" is a secret space program for espionage and defense. The rockets and shuttles are more sophisticated then the civilian program. Some smaller versions of the now retired shuttle were being launched from special super sonic aircraft.

NASA space shuttles have been to Kelly Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio a bunch of times, because if they landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California they need to fly them back to Cape Canaveral on top of the Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and they stop at Lackland to refuel. So I can believe they saw a shuttle land, but their memories of it got scrambled in the interim.

I raised my head slightly and looked at the base of the mattress I was lying on and saw a gown just floating there near the wall at the height it would be if a person was wearing it. I froze for a couple of seconds before quickly rushing to get my phone to shine the light on it. By the time I did there was nothing there. Safe to say I was scared out of my mind when I finally worked up the courage to get up to pee. .

Few years ago I spent some time exploring Death Valley solo. This one night, I was at a dispersed camp near Hole in the Wall and I was looking west at the Sierra skyline, the sun had just set, and I was watching a light off the horizon, what I thought to be a helicopter by the rate of its speed and altitude. I remember wondering what the hell a helo was doing out there, when suddenly the light sped up to the speed of an airplane, and began changing directions on a dime. Didn't sleep much that night, and it still bugs me to this day. .

It ended up missing the car and smacking into the concrete, i assume, dead on contact.

One time, I saw a HUGE triangular craft. It was dark at, but it didn't necessarily look that different from a B-2. The thing was that this was flying in a very urban environment, and I don't know how big it was, but it either it was unfathomably huge, or flying very low and moving what I would think was far too slowly to stay in the air. I read that B2s' "speed limit" is about 200 knots; if this thing was "only" the size of a B2, it couldn't've been doing much more than a few dozen knots. I don't understand how people think UFOs are the most reasonable explanation for quickly moving lights, but this thing was solid, not just lights. I'd love to know what it was.

When I was 14, I saw the most bizarre and scary thing happen. A bunch of us were on the church bus, going home from Vacation Bible School (yes, at 14 and at night; no choice in the matter). It was a full moon; what happened next has never been documented. As we were going over an overpass, suddenly the moon shifted its position. It came closer, moved away, came closer again, moved away again, then shifted back to its original position. Everyone on that bus saw it. It's been 50 years, and the memory STILL freaks me out.

Once I was digging in the garden and unearthed a big furry spider, the size and shape of a golf ball, like if you took a cute cartoon spider and made a realistic-looking version. It burrowed back into the ground in a second or two. I later tried to look up what it was, and there's nothing remotely similar in my area. (Possibly anywhere on earth. There was only so much big spider research I could handle.) My only guess is that it must've been a small mammal, like a mole or a shrew or something, but I definitely thought I saw/felt chitinous legs; I didn't start to wonder if it could have been a mammal until I looked up every spider in my area and none of them were even close.

When I was 14, I saw the most bizarre and scary thing happen. A bunch of us were on the church bus, going home from Vacation Bible School (yes, at 14 and at night; no choice in the matter). It was a full moon; what happened next has never been documented. As we were going over an overpass, suddenly the moon shifted its position. It came closer, moved away, came closer again, moved away again, then shifted back to its original position. Everyone on that bus saw it. It's been 50 years, and the memory STILL freaks me out.

That's an excellent one. Any chance of finding other kids on that bus to give their versions? Might be worth doing.

I don't know if I'd believe all of them without evidence (or if any specific one is true), but I'm sure at least some of them are. Look on youtube for the cyclist meeting a family of skunks. Without a phone, you'd never believe his story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vszWsYOdnPg

Once I was digging in the garden and unearthed a big furry spider, the size and shape of a golf ball, like if you took a cute cartoon spider and made a realistic-looking version. It burrowed back into the ground in a second or two. I later tried to look up what it was, and there's nothing remotely similar in my area. (Possibly anywhere on earth. There was only so much big spider research I could handle.) My only guess is that it must've been a small mammal, like a mole or a shrew or something, but I definitely thought I saw/felt chitinous legs; I didn't start to wonder if it could have been a mammal until I looked up every spider in my area and none of them were even close.

Also once when I was a kid, I found a big snake stretched across the road; I ran inside to get everybody to come see it, but when we got back, it was gone, and everybody thought it had probably just been a normal garter snake or something. That was real; we do have big snakes here, just not many.
