It's pretty great when something out of the ordinary happens to you. You can tell your friends about it, reminisce many years later, or even get your two seconds of fame online. What's not great is that people sometimes don't believe that this thing actually happened to you.

Well, this is the Internet, so even the most jaded crazy-story-havers can share their experiences. That's why when a netizen asked, "What is something you've done/seen/heard so bizarre that no matter how many times you tell it, nobody believes you?", over four thousand people came to reply. Do you have a relatively implausible story to share? Let us know in the comments!

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing I had a 3rd grade teacher who was awful to me, but absolutely adored my older brother and younger sister. My parents loved this lady but she was always mean to me for whatever reason. One day when we were doing multiplication tables I got a few answers wrong and she said to me 'that's okay, people still need their groceries bagged.' She said this to an 8 year old. To this day my parents nor my siblings believe me.

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing When I was golfing one day a father and son was paired with another single and I. We go out and I learn that it is the son's birthday. Which is cool because it’s also my birthday and wifey gave me a day off from the baby so I figured I’d get a round in.


I asked him how old he was since we seem about the same age. Turns out we were born on the exact same day. Crazy right? Well turns out getting to know them a little more as the day goes on… they’re from New York. Well I was born in New York.


I ask for s**ts and giggles where. Long Island. ME TOO. Mercy hospital. Silence for a second or two. Are you F****n kidding? No.


Same day. Same year. Same hospital.

When I had my third son, the patient next door's monitors was displaying in my room too, so the doctor and nurses could keep an eye on a couple of rooms at the same time. They mentioned (without disclosing any personal information) that the patient was having a rather long, hard time. Fast forward a few years, I ran into that actual woman at the mall. Our kids appeared to be close in age, and we started talking, and I found out we were in the hospital at the same exact time and she was the woman whose monitor I was watching from my room. I live in a city with over 2 million people but it sure felt like a small world that day.

Some of the entries and stories you'll read here are sardonic and humorous. But other people really shared some personal stories – some so crazy that their friends or loved ones refused to believe them. But if people don't believe you in real life, they're even less likely to believe you on the Internet, right?

Face-to-face interaction is different from communication online, and it impacts lying as well. Even in 2004, researchers studied the effect of technology on the ways we communicate and lie when socializing through different mediums. Interestingly, back then, they found that people lied most when talking on the phone and the least through email. Instant messaging and real-life conversations had similar rates of lying.

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing I didn't think it was that weird, but I went to a museum in London where they had a piano in the cafe area. A guy goes over to the piano, flexes his knuckles, and proceeds to play about half an hour of the most insanely elaborate pieces you've ever heard. Just absolutely knocks it out of the park. He finishes, stands up, takes a bow, and everyone in the cafe bursts into spontaneous applause. People are cheering. It turns out that he's a Russian concert pianist in town for a performance that weekend, and we all just got a preview of his show.

Everyone I've told about this finds it entirely unbelievable because everyone clapped. I just get the same old response referencing the meme, which I don't really get, because I'm pretty sure most people would applaud a concert pianist. Ah well.

I have no problem believing you, since you're not claiming to be the one who received the applause! I'm pretty sure I'd applaud a concert pianist-level performance, no matter where it took place. I must admit, reading the words "Russian pianist" makes me think of that weird guy on Youtube who unnervingly maintains eye contact with the camera while he plays; it's kind of funny.

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing 18or 19 years ago. Flat tire on way to mid term. No spare available. Professor was really understanding, let me make it up. Working poor, so I was just going from beater to beater for a bit.

Come finals, another flat tire. Had left early enough to get to campus that I wasn’t worried, called tow truck for assistance. 1 mile behind me, on highway, I start seeing smoke. Turns out the tow truck on its way to me caught fire mid trip.

Professor didn’t believe me, had to retake the course.

This is the story I share when people wonder why I always give people the benefit of the doubt.

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing Anything I do.


I'm incredibly clumsy/oafish. To the point where a former classmate of mine would tell me, "If it was anyone else. I would not believe them in the slightest, but I just know this actually happened, because it's you."

He's one of the few who believes my next level stupidity.


Edit:

For reference:
I once spend 2 minutes on the phone talking to myself. Because in the time span of less than a minute I had forgotten I tried finding my mobile, used the landline to call myself, found my phone, saw I had a missed call. Called back to the caller (it said 'mom' as I was at home) and spend a good 2 minutes frustrated, because my mom wouldn't pick up the phone and annoyed the landline started ringing. Instead of making the connection I picked up the landline and switched between putting my mobile and the land line to my ear, frustrated that neither my mom nor the other person was replying to me...
I learned I am in fact a very patient person, but also incredibly blunt. I'm still recovering.

David M. Markowitz revisited this study recently in 2021. With many more ways of digital communication at people's disposal nowadays, it's certainly interesting to see if the patterns have changed. Interestingly, the researchers found that people still lied the most through "synchronous media" – the phone and video chat.

When people interacted face-to-face, it was considerably high, too. Communication using the slower and non-recorded media had the lowest rates of the participants lying. Such forms of communication include texting, email, and social media.

All in all, the tendencies remained similar. People still say they lie more when having a real-life conversation and that they lie the least when their communication is recorded (e.g., email, text messaging.)

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing When I was around 8 I was sleeping on the couch and I awoke to two men breaking into our duplex house, all I could see was the shape of their bodies and one of them holding a small flashlight. I was so terrified I couldn’t move or speak, I honestly don’t think they seen me or knew I was on the couch. After they left I ran into the room of my foster parents and woke them up, they didn’t even get up, just told me to go back to bed because they didn’t believe me…well they woke up to a bunch of stuff gone and then they blamed me because I didn’t get them when the men were in the house so they called my case worker and gave me back to state, had to move to a new home after that where it was in my file that I was know to “steal” (never have) so every home I lived in after that had everything locked up.

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing When I was maybe 6 or 7 years old I went to work with my dad one summer day. There was an older man in the lobby area of the office waiting for an appointment. He started talking to me and asked what my favorite candy was. I told him it was this white nougat candy that had these little jelly bits in it. I don’t even know what is was called and it’s not a very common candy. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the exact candy I described. It seemed like magic. I took the candy but was afraid to eat it and a bit ashamed I accepted candy from a stranger. I gave it to my dad and was going to tell him what happened but he opened and ate the candy. I never told him but watched him closely that day in case it was poisoned or magic. He’s still alive so I guess the candy was fine.

But there are a few things to keep in mind when talking about this research. We have to consider the type of interactions that happen in different media. Email, for example, is most often reserved for work correspondence. Naturally, people have more incentive to be truthful and transparent here.

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing When I was a 8 or 9 I was working my paper route when a wolf ran out of someone’s house and started coming towards me when the owner screamed at it and it turned around. I’d never seen a wolf in real life before but I also had never seen a dog that size that also looks like a wolf. I hauled a*s home and told my parents which were like “suuuuuure”. A couple weeks later it was in the news that those neighbors had been illegally keeping a couple half wolf bred dogs.

Wolves (and high-content wolfdogs) are VERY distinct. They NEVER "just look like big dogs", not even "big huskies" or other wolfish-looking breeds. I got to meet human-raised wolves IRL at a sanctuary when I was a teenager. They are GIGANTIC. I had a 90-lb German Shepherd in the late 90s/early 2000s, and she was a big girl, but she still didn't hold a candle to an actual wolf. You KNOW when you've seen a wolf XD

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing I was in a waffle house in High Point North Carolina once at like 2:30 am with my friend, slightly buzzed our selves but not drunk by any means....this was like 1998.

A man walks in. Very drunk. He was probably in his early 40s.

He doesn't say a word. He just walks over to the jukebox, puts in some coins and plays "flowers on the wall" by the Statler brothers.

As the song started he stood on top of a table and sang every single line, quite well actually.....

When the song ended he dismounted the table and walked off into the night.

The only reason I know this absolutely happened is because my friend remembers it too.

It was honestly a spellbinding experience.

We're generally less likely to believe people nowadays, especially on social media. At least, that's what most of us think, right? Markowitz also writes that the common misconception that people lie on the Internet like there's no tomorrow is simply not true. There is no sufficient data to support that claim, he says

However, a study in 2016 explored the stereotype that "everyone lies on the internet." They found that people lie on social media in order to present themselves better. "They wanted to be cooler. They wanted to be more beautiful. They wanted to be sexier," one of the authors, Professor Michelle Drouin, told CBC.

"They wanted to give an appearance of a life that was better than the life that they were leading." However, many people also lie just because that's the standard – "everyone on the internet lies."

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing A woman disappeared in a single bathroom at a cafe I worked at. I’m not saying I believe in paranormal, I’m just saying what the f**k happened to that lady.

We were completely dead, outside was a snowstorm, not a single soul in the cafe besides my co-worker and I. I had a broken foot and was sitting on a stool at the register. One woman walks in, says she has to use the bathroom before she orders. We both watch her go into the bathroom. The only exit from the building requires that she walk directly in front of me to leave, so I would definitely see her if she left. I didn’t move from my spot the entire time, as I had a broken foot. No other customers came in during this whole thing. We start to wonder what’s taking her so long after a half hour or so, the bathroom is still shut and locked and the light still on. After 45 minutes, my co-worker knocks to check on her, no answer. After an hour, we decide to unlock the door ourselves because we are thinking the worst happened. When we opened the door, she just wasn’t there. There is no feasible way she could have left the building without me seeing her. The vent in the bathroom was far too small for any human to fit in. So where did she go? And it’s not just me hallucinating, my co-worker witnessed it all too. Still creeps me out to think about.

Edit: adding that I have not told this story on any podcasts, and the story is my own, not a copy. the bathroom did not have a drop ceiling. There was no back door that she could have gone through. The cafe was so small you couldn’t possibly miss a person walking through it to leave. Even if they did, the only door she could have gone out of had a loud bell that sounded any time the door opened. Even if this woman crawled on the floor past the counter, I would have seen her, I could see the floor from my spot. The bathroom door was very close and very visible from where I was sitting, there’s no way she opened it without me noticing. There wasn’t even any music playing in the cafe, no tv’s, nothing. I do not believe in ghosts, or any of that s**t, but this one will forever freak me out because I just don’t know how she managed to leave. Even the door was still locked when we finally went to open it. We had to manually unlock the door from our side.

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing I was walking to Target with my sister on my birthday, December 7, and told her about how bummed out I was that every year for the last three years, some random old guy (never the same one) would start a rant about how “kids these days don’t know about Pearl Harbor and have no respect…” Some would put a fun twist on it, like, “Do you know what day it is?!”

She was laughing. There was no way, and I just shrugged it off. These guys would be old guys on the way to Veteran centers, but clearly not that old. I’d be riding the bus, and usually, coming home from college classes, so maybe, I made an easy target for them in a convenient, captive audience on public transport. I have an extra bonus of being part Japanese, but my sister is blonde. So, fun times.

Later, we were in line at the store, and a bored old guy leans over and asks, “Do you kids know what day it is?”

My sister burst out laughing to his astonishment, and I quietly answered, “It’s Pearl Harbor Day, sir…”.

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing My ex, who stole tens of thousands of dollars from me, secretly believed she was a witch. Like a "I can make things happen" sort of witch. I began to figure it out and called her out. She vehemently denied it.


Then I caught her on IG paying a "witch doctor" from Haiti to cast a love spell on me (with my money). The dude sent her a damn video of some voodoo BS (candles and c**p on a beat-up table in some hovel) to "prove" he had done it.


She eventually left after a lot of drama and I found her stupid little witchcraft garbage hidden all over the house: rocks and random things in various pockets of my clothing; string hidden in the pocket of my favorite jeans; little candles hidden away; feathers jammed into things; stuff places over doorways and windows; two dead frozen rabbits buried in the freezer (I had naively assumed she got rid of them); two dead ducklings hidden in a closet.


She had problems.

When I was about 9 years old I was selling those stupid world famous chocolate bars to raise money for a field trip in school. Me and a classmate decided to team up and hit a specific neighborhood together. We were knocking on some old man's door, we could very clearly see him laying in his recliner chair watching TV with his eyes open, just completely ignoring us. We pounded on the door for a good 3 minutes, and this man didn't even flinch. We even yelled through his window that we could see him and called him an a*****e. Later that evening, the friend I was with called me and told me to turn on the local news. Someone had come to check on their elderly father and found him deceased in his reclining chair in his living room. The news station showed the house, and it was definitely the front door we had been knocking on..

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing I once saw a panther in an area of the country where they should not be. I mean.... Panthers don't observe state lines. They don't have maps.

They used to have a wide geographic range, so there may be hidden populations

Not me personally, but I arrived soon enough to see the aftermath. My dad was walking to work, about 5 in the morning, and a piece of glass about the size of a shop window fell out of the sky and smashed right next to him, showering him in broken glass. He wasn't injured, luckily, but extremely shook up. We never worked out where the hell it came from.

I used to work in security at a local casino. One day the supervisor calls me to coat check and when I get there he has this look on his face. "We have a bird."

I look up at the rafters in coat check and he says, "No... back here."

We go behind the counter and some woman who came into the casino coat checked a live pigeon in a bag. And the coat check attendant not only accepted it... but also agreed to feed it.

We had a pigeon show up at our house with a band on its leg after a big storm. Really friendly, must have been a pet. Rested a week and them we assume it flew home.

While bowling, I didn't release the ball when I was supposed to. The arc continued over my head like a softball pitch.

The ball landed perfectly in the lane's ball return.

Wow that sounded made up even to me.....

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing I caught a state record fish about 10 years back. I was with a group of 3 other people. We all had calibrated scales and weighed the fish on all 3 and it beat the record by 3 oz.

They weren't ready to leave yet (to go to the official scale) so I set it on the beach and we did some last casts and cleanup. Anyways, a bear ended up taking the fish (as evidenced bear tracks where the fish was and the fish being gone) while we were just around the bend for bout 10 minutes.

Nobody besides those people that were with me believes me that I could be in the state record book but lost the fish after I caught it.



TLDR: I caught a state record fish and then lost it.

I looked up malignant hyperthermia. "Malignant hyperthermia is a severe reaction to certain d***s used for anesthesia. This severe reaction typically includes a dangerously high body temperature, rigid muscles or spasms, a rapid heart rate, and other symptoms. Without prompt treatment, the complications caused by malignant hyperthermia can be fatal. In most cases, the gene that puts you at risk of malignant hyperthermia is inherited, though sometimes it's the result of a random genetic change. Genetic testing can reveal whether you have an affected gene. This genetic disorder is called malignant hyperthermia susceptibility (MHS)."

“No One To This Day Believes Me”: 30 Bizarre Things People Swear To Seeing I was in year 2 (so like 7 years old) and asked my teacher to go to the toilet. All was well. I walk along into one of the stools and look into the toilet to see a pure white log of s**t. As soon as I see it the stench brutally attacks my nostrils as my eyes tear up and I back out of the stall coughing uncontrollably from the smell. I left without doing my business and no one to this day believes me.

It was not toilet paper wrapped around a poo, it was more like someone spray painted a piece of c**p, it was one solid log.

White stool can be the result of liver disease, hepatitis or a complete lack of bile in the intestines. This pooper was very sick and needs medical attention. (And to learn how to flush the toilet.)

I kicked a guy out of a bar, he ran into the middle of a super busy street, turned towards our staff, and slapped both his hands as hard as he could on the asphalt five or six times like Donkey Kong.

His palms must have looked like ground beef the next morning.

Talked to the cops on an 1/8 shrooms and convinced them everything was OK even though we were having a bad trip. Also, I'm a 6'3 black man. The only reason anyone believes me is that there were 3 witnesses (my friends whos futures I saved).

Our local mall is falling apart. People have just started walking dogs in there and no one gives a c**p. I made a joke about it to my wife and said, "what's next, people taking their cats to the mall?" And sure enough, there was some teenager with her cat on a leash walking right by us. I swear that really happened.

EDIT: My wife reminded me, I almost forgot. When we went back with the kids, my toddler stepped in dog p**s. They weren't even cleaning the floors anymore!

I have a UFO story and nobody believes me. Even the friend I was with doesn't really believe me. He missed it because he wouldn't get up. I don't even bother telling the story anymore. There's no point in it.


-----

Okay, I see your comments. I don't know where else to put this so I'll type it here.

I was camping with my best friend. It was a weekend trip in early spring a few years ago and the camp site was actually on one of his family members properties that sort of overlooked a lake in upstate New York. This was a somewhat small lake - too small for sailing - and was surrounded by undeveloped land. Where we camped, we had sort of a downward view of the lake and the land beyond it. Our campsite was next to a berm surrounding very large stone with a small clearing next to the treeline. We had our tent under the canopy of the treeline.

We went to bed well after dark. I had the tent flap unzipped so that I could lay there looking out but, had the screen panel on the tent door zipped up because bugs. I could see the far side of the lake, maybe a little bit of the water, from where I was laying. But mostly I could see the night sky. I saw a round light that was maybe about the same size as a dime if I held a dime out at arms length. It was a pale off-white or cream color and it was surrounded by a haze that was an off-white to extremely light blue color that surrounded the round light like a very rudimentary cartoon flame might surround something. It was almost like a haze. It flew from the left of where I was camped to a point over the far side of the lake where it stopped and hovered.

At that point I tried waking my friend up to look at the light. I pleaded with him. He didn't want to wake up and kept telling me to go to sleep. Then the object flew off to the right out of sight.

I was extremely excited by all this. By the point it flew off out of sight, I was sitting up and shoving my friend to wake up. He rolled over to at least face the tent door and threw an arm over me and told me to get some sleep. He never lifted his head up.

And then the object, whatever it was, came shooting back into my line of sight from some point off to my right, heading away from me at a really fast speed and gaining altitude. But when it came back into view, it didn't look like a sphere. If you can hold a coin on its edge at arms length you would see a circle, which is how it looked when I first saw it as it flew over the lake. If you were to hold a coin at arms length and tip the top edge towards you like 45 degrees, that's what it looked like as it shot off into the sky. It moved at blistering speed as it shot off. I had a clear line of sight of the sky it flew off into. And it gained altitude until it disappeared from sight far off in the distance.


I got really scared then. I made my friend wake up and stay awake with me. I did eventually fall asleep but that was the weirdest thing I ever saw.

I hate that this subject have been ridiculed to the point that people are afraid to tell what they have seen for the fear of being laughed at. My wife once saw a bright dot stationary over some trees in the distance while driving. She first thought it was just a bit weird since cell phone tower lights here are usually red - then it became even weirder as the light suddenly took off in a straight line into the sky and dissapeared. Cell phone tower lights usually so not do that either..

When your dog has s**t at your work, more than once, no one wants to hear, "sHe DoEsn'T Do tHAt aT HoMe..." Just say sorry, clean it up, and maybe don't bring your dog to work anymore.
