Some events defy logic, leaving us with more questions than answers. Whether it’s a bizarre report from a trusted source or an unnerving event we’ve had, these odd experiences stick with us. Sharing them provides relief and can be therapeutic, as the folks in this article did by sharing their personal experiences with millions of people on the internet.
Event 1
My husband went missing when my son was five months old. When he began talking, he always mentioned that a bad man visited his room while we were all sleeping. We brushed it off.
Years later, I discovered my husband’s ancient watch in his room, forgotten behind a wardrobe. I panicked since my husband was wearing the watch on the day he went missing. When I asked my kid about it, he couldn’t remember how the watch got into his room and claimed he’d never seen it before.
My husband has suffered from severe depression for decades. It’s been over 20 years since we last saw him. But I get chills every time I think about that watch.
Event 2
When I was 14, I was home alone. My mother was grocery shopping, while my brother was at a friend’s house. My phone rang, and it was my grandmother. She screamed, “WHAT’S WRONG? WHAT’S WRONG?”
I convinced her everything was fine. She informed me that my mother had just contacted her and continuously said, “HELP, THE KIDS!” My mom came in, called her back, and assured her that nothing had happened.
We went to my grandmother’s since she was still shaken. She displayed our number on the caller ID, which was impossible. © Unknown author / Reddit
Event 3
I was reading a book called Think and Grow Rich. The book mentions how you can notice anything strange as you read it.
Anyway, I decided to take the book to the downtown coffee shop. I was reading a story about a parent and their deaf child. A child sat next to me right then. I didn’t think much of it until his mother walked over and started signing with him. © Soatch / Reddit
Event 4
My sister and I used to play with a homemade Ouija board when we were in tenth school. We posed the typical questions, including the names of the “spirits” we were contacting. We were given the names Aiden and Hannah, both of which had been proposed for me before to my birth. Neither my sister nor I were aware of this information. © Unknown author / Reddit
Event 5
My sister and I were alone in the living room when we heard what sounded like 1,000 plates smashing out of the kitchen cupboards. We exchanged glances before racing into the kitchen. Nothing was broken.
We opened all the cabinets and combed through them, looking for shattered plates, but everything was fine. We’re always weirded out thinking about this. © discover-luke / Reddit
Event 6
I was once sitting on the couch with my partner when I heard the words “I love you.” Then my partner says, “I love you, too.” I was totally perplexed because I wasn’t the one who said “I love you.” My mouth was closed.
I remember hearing and feeling the vibrations of words and sounds being made, but neither I nor he did it. It seemed like a feminine voice speaking right in front of my face, although there was no one outside the window or in the room with us. It was very creepy. I’m still thinking about it. © TenderN***leBender / Reddit
Event 7
When I was younger, I lived in a house with a massive, two-story-high foyer and a lengthy stairway leading to it. Across from the staircase was a massive antique mirror.
I was alone in the house, my mother and siblings had gone grocery shopping, and I was listening to music when I noticed my own reflection.
I saw myself descending the stairway as reflected in the mirror. I yanked off my headphones and whirled around, but I wasn’t there. Nobody was. © ca***balking / Reddit
Event 8
I remember playing with a plastic toy dinosaur in my garden. I loved that thing. I hurled it into the sky, and it never came back down. I never saw it again. © elpantalla / Reddit
Event 9
My ex-wife and I purchased an older home from the 1930s. We were renovating and had installed some baseboards in the basement, painted them, and let them dry overnight.
We looked at them the next morning, and it appeared that someone had dragged a sharp knife down the whole length of two of the baseboards, which were nearly 8 feet long each. The “blade” had gouged through new paint, old paint, priming, and even the wood. There were only two of us in the house. © dBasement / Reddit
Event 10
Years ago, I shared an older house downtown with a roommate. We both played guitar and had an excellent setup in the basement. An antique mirror had been fastened to the wall when we moved in. I got home one day and realized my roommate was not present when he was supposed to be.
I went to the basement and began playing guitar. Something caught the corner of my eye in the mirror. When I turned to look, I noticed what appeared to be a rising cloud. I looked to the other side of the room and found no reason for this at all. It terrified me so severely that I immediately set down the guitar, went upstairs, and left the home.
I went to the local cafe to relax till my roommate arrived home. Strangely, I discovered him there. He appeared pale and worried. He started telling me about the ‘cloudy ghost’ he saw in the basement mirror around two hours ago. © TreyGarcia / Reddit
Discovering a hidden dark side in a close friend can be reminiscent of a Hollywood movie. That’s exactly what occurs in these horrific stories, which will leave you shaking.
