I had a dream when I was a teenager.

We lived on the hillside overlooking the city. I was standing on our terrace just watching the world die. Water covered most of the city. What wasn't drowned was burning, pillars of smoke covered the horizon. But oddly enough it was serene. You couldn't hear screaming or choas, just tinders snapping like a campfire along the shore. It smelled like the sea too.

Then I looked to my right, and there was my dad. To his right, was my paternal grandmother. They both just smiled a sad smile which made me realize that I couldn't move. We were stuck standing in mud.

I woke up after that.

After breakfast, I didn't say anything until my dad and I were the only ones left at the table. I asked him if he had a dream last night. He described the exact same thing and he said he saw me too.

Later on that day, my dad, who had checked in with my grandmother, said that she had the exact same dream.

On a boat, trolling for yellowtail amidst a school of dolphin about 4 miles off San Diego (dolphin are too smart to take lures, aren't shy near small boats, and feed on the same bait schools as yellowtail and tuna, so it's strategic to follow them). As if cued, all ~50-75 dolphins simultaneously stopped jumping and disappeared into the depths for about 30 seconds. Immediate, unnerving quiet. With great fanfare, they all suddenly burst out of the water in a near-perfect row about a football field wide, and for a while, synchronized jumps ahead of our boat. Then they were gone. Showing off for my dad and I? Normal behavior? Who knows, but it was awesome.

I've told this story before, but it's been a couple of years.

It was an average Monday, and I had just finished vacuuming the house (where I live alone). I carried the vacuum down the hallway to put it away in the spare bedroom, then grabbed a duster and started dusting.

Now, in the spare bedroom's closet, there is a hatch in the ceiling that leads, presumably, to some sort of insulation space. I had lived in the house for only a few months at that point, and there had been some odd occurrences that had made me wonder, jokingly, if there was somebody living up there, Crawlspace-style, coming down at night to mess with things. So on this particular day I decided to see.

I shouted at the hatch, things like "Hey, I know you're up there!" and "Come out here! Don't make me come get you!" I finished up with "I'm going to count to five! One...two...three...four..." And at that point, I decided this wasn't worth it, and went back to dusting.

Then, I stepped back into the hallway - the hallway I had just walked through not 60 seconds before - and there was a playing card. Just a single playing card, face down on the floor, lying on top of an ethernet cord I had stretched down the hallway. And it definitely hadn't been there before. I picked it up and turned it over. It was a four. The four of hearts.

To this day, I have no idea how it got there. It freaked me out badly enough that I grabbed a weapon and searched the whole house (found nothing of course). But I have no realistic theories. There's no furniture in the hallway for it to have fallen from. I don't think it could have fallen from the vacuum since I'd used it many times and there's no way a playing card could have been stuck inside without it getting mangled or at least dirty. There was a painting hanging nearby that I had been messing with earlier that day, but again, no physical place on it for a card to be stuck.

I did recognize the card, though. It's from a deck that I owned but hadn't used in a long time...which was safely inside a magnetically-closed box, under another box, inside that very closet where I had just been yelling at the ceiling. But how one single card could have made its way out and onto my floor in the brief time between when it wasn't there and then suddenly was? I'm usually pretty good at rationalizing weird things but this time...I just got nothing.

For at least 15 years now I will occasionally -- maybe 2 or 3 times a month -- mistakenly think I see someone I know when walking around. Then, within the next few minutes I will actually see that person.

It's frequent enough that I call it now; I'll be like, "is that Jon? Nope, not Jon. But I bet I'll see him in the next 10 minutes"; and then I do.

I don't read into it at all. It's just an odd little quirk in my life.

Years ago my dad’s uncle passed away. Years before that, said uncle got my parents a fancy bottle of tequila from Mexico and it’s been on the front room display shelf with a bunch of other dust covered sculptures and glass work for at least 12 years. It’s out of reach and untouched (no one in my immediate family drinks). On the day of his passing, I’m in the front room reading and my dads doing his taxes. we get a phone call with the bad news. My dad continues his taxes while letting me know his uncle passed in a few short words. Not 30 seconds later and the tequila bottle his uncle got my parents starts playing music. This is odd to me because I thought it was just a bottle so I ask. “Do we have a music box?” My Dad continues his taxes and tells me the bottle has a music box built in, and that was the only reason he kept it. I clarify “Did you wind it recently?” And he just keeps filing and says “nope” and I was ready to leave it at that but he says still all casually occupied “I imagine uncle David wanted to say goodbye one last time.” That is the only time it has made a noise as long as I’ve been alive. Of all days and times. I never knew what to make of it. It just made me uncomfortable.

This is actually the weirdest thing, and call me crazy if you'd like.
I went to a fair one time, for some reason my friends weren't with me can't recall why. I noticed there were surprisingly few people there, and an abnormal amount of clowns, didn't think anything of it. Got on some ride, got one of those spiral cut potatoes. Took off after, went home went to sleep.
Next morning my friend calls me and says where I was last night because my group of friends had a hang out and no one could get a hold of me nor did I reply. Told them I went to the fair, he asked what fair, then I couldn't remember where it was. I just said the fair in town, he just laughed and said something to the extent of yeah whatever.
Still have no idea where the f**k I went that night.

I was sitting in my college dorm room once when the temperature suddenly started dropping like crazy. I turned the heat up as high as it would go but it just kept getting colder. I took out my winter clothes and started putting them on. This was like in late September/early October in New York so it wasn't cold outside at all.

I was just about to go ask for maintenance when my roommate got back from hockey practice and asked why there were so many police cars and ambulances outside. I had no idea. Later that night, we were informed a girl who lived in the dorms had died. Everyone who I've told about this says that I felt her death. I was in that same room for 3 years and that was the only time I ever had problems with the temperature.

This will probably get lost in all these comments, but this is the damndest thing that I can’t explain and it makes me feel crazy to even think about. I make a daily commute that’s about 40 minutes. There are two routes I can take, “back roads” and the main road. Well, the main road was under construction so I was taking the back roads for a few days to avoid traffic. The day I go back on the main road I am pleasantly surprised to find a rather frustrating section of the road was repaved. This was nice, because they also painted lines showing that the right lane must turn right and the left lane goes straight. I was actually happy about this and remember thinking “now I don’t have to wait to turn right on red behind someone going straight!”. The next day I take the back road again, and the day after I take the main road. Except when I get to the part of road in question, it’s completely back to normal. Even the old pavement. The old lane lines. I to this day can not explain it. It can’t be possible to have simply reverted the work that was done there within a day, I mean, there was even fresh blacktop! And then, poof. Back to normal in 24 hours.

Glitch in the matrix

In 2008 I was driving by myself down a dark interstate highway in PA late at night when one of the map lights turned on by itself in my Nissan Xterra. I turned it off and it turned back on. So this really got my attention. About 2 minutes later I see an entire herd of deer in the middle of the road in front of me and I have to stop to avoid hitting them. I’m fairly certain had that map light not turned on I would have been zoned out and plowed into the deer at 65 mph. I never had a map light turn on by itself before or after that occurrence.

One time, as I was driving home from work, I turned onto the street where I live on and noticed what seemed to be more street lights than I remember being there.

I didn't think much of it at all at first, but something in me made me do a double take. I notice that the three "additional streetlights" are not street lights at all, but lights lined up perfectly in the sky in the distance.

Literally, as soon as I notice this, the lights in the sky beginning moving slowly and getting closer together. Eventually, they were close enough and formed a triangle.

Mind you, at this point I have managed to park my car in my driveway and I'm standing there staring at them. My parents, who are fairly religious, tend not to believe in aliens, UFO's or anything of the sort, so I decided to run inside and get them so they can see this for themselves.

We go back outside, the lights are still hovering, moving slowing in a triangle. No sound is being made by them. They do this for a few more seconds and all of a sudden, one of them speeds off super quickly. When I say quick, I mean ***quick***.

The remaining two continue moving slowly in the sky for a few more seconds then they literally just vanish. Poof, the lights were just gone.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but yeah, those really were unidentified flying objects. To this day, we have no idea what they might possibly be.

When I was about 10 years old we lived at my grandparents house for about a year. My grandpa uses hearing aids and usually has the TV volume really loud and his favorite things to watch are westerns. One night I woke up because he was watching TV too loud. I remember hearing glasses clanking, people chatting and faint music. So at the time I pictured it to be saloon in a western film, so I starting heading downstairs to ask him to turn it down. I get downstairs, cross the family room and kitchen and headed down the short hallway that led to the TV room. Right when I entered the TV room the noises all fell silent. I was really tired and confused. I quickly went upstairs to my room and woke up my sister, but she just brushed it off and told me to let her sleep. When I think about it now it creeps me out, but at the time I was just tired and confused.

I was at a bar with and I was talking to some dude I just met and a girl came over and started chatting us up. Mid conversation out of nowhere she puts her hand on her head and says to the other guy "You are from Brownsville" I don't remember the city name but it is a small town of like 500 people. The dude looked completely dumbfounded and replied that indeed he was from that city. She said that is weird because once every 2 or 3 years she has these crazy flashes of information about people she is talking to but don't know them personally. It was really weird and the guy was blown away and I was kind of in awe. I don't believe in real psychic abilities or anything but this tested me. Also it could have just been fake and she really knew he was from there but crazy experience anyway.

Possibly she has met these people before briefly but doesn't remember, and when she sees them again it triggers the memory of the information and not the meeting? Maybe that's also why she came up to chat?

One day I was riding on my school bus on the way to school. At some point I felt sick to my stomach not like i needed to puke but more like you just found out something bad. So I closed my eyes and saw like a black background and then my older cousin and the a handgun i had never seen before all in flashes. Then I heard 3 loud gun shots and I opened my eyes. Through all this I could feel disparity, anger, and fear. My father picked me up from school early that day something we had already planned and when I got in the car I asked him where did they find him, he was surprised I knew. My cousin commited s***ide earlier that morning and before he did he shot his radio.

Driving from Cancun to Merida at night. About 10 years ago. Middle of the road there's a huge pothole, so I swerve to avoid it. About 200 metres ahead notice a car's got its hazard lights on. It's parked on the side of the road so I decided to stop and check to see if they needed help - thought it might have been a flat tire.

I parked, approached the car and as I got closer I saw what appeared to be two passengers in the back.

There was no one in the driver seat and those two figures I had seen were mannequins with wigs and faces drawn with a marker or something.

Just weird, to me at least. Can't rationalise the whole event.

I'm a police officer. One night we get a call about some banging noises in the wall of the bathroom in a s****y apartment building. The banging has been going on for a few hours and it's reported to sound like someone banging on the other side of the wall. The people who live in this unit are a husband and wife and their young son, maybe 10 years old or so.

A couple of us attend this call and when we get there, we hear the banging. Its not continuous, but it happens in 4 or 5s, every few minutes or so. It sounded like how it was reported, like someone banging their fist against the wall. It's extremely loud and forceful; I can't remember for sure, but I think it made the mirror in the bathroom fall off. It was definitely making the items on the bathroom shelf shake.

We go out and knock on the door of the apartment next door, next to where the bathroom would be. Dude answers and lets us in. Can hear the banging still, but not nearly as loud. It's clearly nobody in that unit banging on the wall.

We can't figure it out. We entertained thoughts of an animal or something being stuck in the wall, but then how did it get there? Plus the forcefulness of the banging didn't add up to an animal. A person stuck in the wall? Nope. We call the fire department.

By this time, mostly everybody on the whole floor is out in the hall, seeing what the hell is going on. Of course everyone is joking that it's a ghost. The people who live in the unit say they've heard the banging before, but not to this extent. It's never gone on as long or been as loud or forceful.

As a joke, someone shouts out "if you want us to leave, knock 3 times!" Right away, there are 3 sharp bangs. Not even joking. Everybody is freaked out by this point.

I'm walking around the unit, just seeing if anything else is out of the ordinary. I see a laundry basket on the bed of one of the bedrooms, which shares a wall with the bath. A few of the bangs are so forceful, they made the basket on the bed shake.

The kid says the banging is more frequent when he is near the bathroom. Weird s**t, right?

So the firemen arrive. They think it's a big joke, but when they hear the banging and it can't be explained, they are puzzled as well. I can't remember why, but it was determined that the sound wasn't originating from the pipes or anything else in the wall. The firemen decide to cut a small hole in the wall.

Honestly, I don't even want to be there for when they do that. I've never believed in ghosts or demons or anything or that sort, but I was actually scared about what may be in the wall.

So they cut a small hole in the wall. What do they find? Absolutely nothing. Nothing is in there. It's hollow. They shined a light in there and tried to shove their phone in there to take photos, but nothing was seen. The only weird thing was that when they used a heat sensor, one part of the wall was hotter than the rest.

The banging basically died down at this point. We told the occupants to call us if it started up again, but it never did, or at least they never called us again.

On a follow-up a few days later, they said they called a medium or someone of that sort and while they were doing their thing, the banging happened again, very intensely, but just for a few minutes.

Last I heard the occupants moved out and we haven't heard anything since.

I have no good explanation for this and neither does anyone else. Maybe it's not ghosts, I don't know, but I'm of the opinion it's something supernatural and this is what made me a believer.

Okay I finally have a good one!

This was about 7 years ago. I was around 17 and had just got my license and was driving back from church on a sunny Sunday afternoon with my 11 year old brother in the passenger seat. It was still very light out.

We were on a highway, small town, but the busiest road in it, right as it crossed into some residential areas so the speed limit was dropping. I looked to the right already slowing down to see what the speed limit was as I was a new driver. For some reason as I looked at the sign, a couple of girls knocking on the front door of a small white house only about 50 feet behind the sign caught my eye. They looked to be in their mid teens. I couldn't see their faces but they had brown skin and long thick dark curly brown hair almost to waist level in normal looking clothes.

The house sits at an angle on the street so I couldn't see into the door frame, I just saw that it opened. As soon as it opened, the hair on the heads of both of these girls shot straight up into the air, as if they were flipped upside down and so one was shaking them back and forth.

I only caught a glimpse for a couple of seconds but I had there wherewithal to shout to my brother to look. He looked over and we both started laughing hysterically at how bizarre it was. I'm so glad I did that because if not I honestly am not sure if Id still believe o saw what I did.

It wasn't til the next day when we realized it was actually creepy. Their hair appeared so thick that the only thing I could imagine having done that would be a mega strong giant fan under the porch that turned on as soon as the door opened which of course makes no sense. It was not a windy day and isn't a windy part of Washington.

I don't live at home anymore but every time I visit my parents, I wonder about that house and tell myself to go and knock on that door and ask whoever is in there about what I saw.

Got a family now so probably never will.

I was driving home one night, a little under a year ago, and the sky turned completely white for about 8 seconds. Mind you it was completely clear, no clouds or any kind of moisture in the atmosphere or anything. And it wasnt just one spot either, it was the same, uniform stark white everywhere from every direction up to the horizon. But besides the sky nothing else had changed, everything else on the ground was the same exact shade, coloring and shadowing as it had before. It was as if some one had inverted the colors of the sky and only the sky. Then it just... changed back, it didn't dim or fade, it just switched to black. Still f***s me up and actually made me go see a neurologist, he said everything was fine, no signs of a stroke or aneurysm or anything.

Edit: u/00dawn explained it perfectly: it was like looking at a night painting that hadn't had the sky painted in yet.


Edit2: the high altitude meteor hypothesis is sounding more and more believable.

Me and my dad both witnessed a white figure fly across our backyard in 1999. It didn't have arms or legs or a face, it was basically like a sheet and it flew across the yard at superhuman speed. When we saw it we both looked at each other and tried to make sense of it. We still talk about it today. I don't believe in ghosts, but I can't explain what this was. Looked like a ghost if you believe in that.

Out walking around the neighborhood late at night with a friend one night, we would occasionally look up to the sky in awe of the stars. I saw a fast moving light like a meteor, but slower, although much faster than an airplane. Then, it made 2 sharp 90° turns. First to the right, then to the left and disappeared. My friend and I both stopped and said "did you see that?" to eachother. This was in the late 80s and I can still picture it like it was yesterday.

In the summer I sometimes volunteer as a cabin leader at a summer camp for youth, some of whom are “troubled”. Last summer we had a kid who got random fits of rage and he would take it out on anything he could. (We later found out he had hid his meds from the staff nurse because he came on a bus without any guardians. Obviously this withdrawal had major side effects.) His fits started to get more and more extreme, and one day During the daily nap time he erupted at full force and started breaking everything he could and ran out of the cabin and I was sadly the only person there at the time due to a staff meeting that was occurring. I called another cabin leader who was in the cabin next to ours and he ran out to find the camper because at this point my whole cabin of about 10 kids where panicking and worried, so I felt uncomfortable leaving them alone.

During, and after the fit a few of my heavier sleepers stayed asleep and about five minutes later one of them woke up crying and screaming. Most young boys have a sort of pride issue with crying in front of other boys their age, so he asked if he could talk to me along on the cabins porch, I agreed and walked him out telling the other campers to try to go back to sleep. He ended up telling me that he was having a nightmare about a skeleton, he didn’t say much else about the dream because that wasn’t the bad part. The bad part was that he ended up describing to me what was essentially sleep paralysis. I told him about it and he had no idea what it was and was begging me to call his mom to come get him because he said he felt like something was there trying to get him. I ended up researching sleep paralysis with him and showed him everything I could to assure him that nothing was out to get him and explained the science behind it.

Here’s where it gets weird and still freaks me out to this day. We later had a staff meeting for those who missed the earlier one, and I found out that while all of this was happening, another boys cabin, and a girls cabin on the other side of camp each had a camper wake up with sleep paralysis both describing different nightmares both having to do with a skeleton. I also later had found out that the cabin leader who had went looking for our ‘runaway’ camper had found him in a grove of trees talking what he called “gibberish.” and he was hitting a stick against a tree. We called his parents who explained his situation in more detail and we found out about him hiding the meds and we got him calmed down and the rest of the week went smoothly. After he left we ended up finding a small drawing pad we had seen him using through out the weeks with very [strange] drawings in it. Nothing looked like anything, there wasn’t anything graphic or anything about them that was threatening, but for some reason it just seemed unsettling to us all. Almost like the drawings extremely young children do when they scribble. We called his parents and we offered to ship it to them but they said he didn’t want it. A more sceptical cabin leader ended up burning it because of the situations that happened in the week.

I don’t really get scared by supernatural stuff but this was honestly the weirdest/scariest thing I’ve ever seen my entire life and I wouldn’t even believe it had I not witnessed it myself and the horror in everyone’s faces that were involved.

Oh. Flashback into my youth, 30years ago. When I moved out of my parents' home to study my mother handed me a biiiiig folder with what felt like every childhood drawing I've ever made. I've went through the folder, amusing myself (and recognizing subjects), until... I came to this one pic of a man. I instantly started bawling my eyes out, was scared, angry, hopeless, frozen, in one moment. In retrospect I'd say it triggered memories of what I'm 100% sure was a sexual assault in kindergarten. I've drawn a perpetrator description as best as I could. As I didn't know who that guy was neither as a kindergarten child nor an adult nor now nothing came of it. But it was frightening back then. I burnt the drawing. 🔥

Two different experiences. First one was about 20 years ago we were smoking out in my friends place in San Francisco before we went out to play pool. She and I had exchanged spooky stories before but this threw me. I was walking out of her place at the back of the group and I saw something in the mirrored walls in her lobby. At first I thought there was something in my eye but no, it was a ball of fog at about the height of my head between me and the mirror. I stepped towards the mirror to see what the hell was going on. As I did my face felt like I stuck it through an ice cold mist that was the density of something thicker than air and very cold. I immediately drew my face back and had the distinct impression of an older woman. What was REALLY weird about it was how not spooky and mundane it was, it felt like I just bumped into something or someone very matter of factly. I know we were smoking out, but have you ever walked into a ghost when you were high? I’ve been much higher but never experienced anything like that. I told her about it later and she said she knows her place was haunted and REALLY wished I wouldn’t bring it up.

Second experience I was following my daughter and her instructor on a trail through a forest, they were on horses and I was walking with my camera taking pictures. I come out of the forest right behind them and they’re laughing and a little ticked. They said they’d been waiting almost 10 minutes for me, but as I said I was walking right behind them. I have pictures and the color of the pics is unusually vivid right beforehand but other than that there’s nothing to see, I somehow just lost 10 minutes of time.

Was driving home one day on a fairly rural two lane highway. Suddenly a fireball explodes in midair out of nowhere. It was large, like the size of a two story house. Just a flash of fire in a sphere and then gone without smoke a few seconds later. There were four other cars close enough to have seen it. All of us pulled off the road. Some got out of their cars. I decided it best not to linger and drove away. No idea to this day.

I once had this dream. I woke up, did my normal stuff, then walked into the bathroom. I knew that something was off and that this was a dream, but I followed through. I look in the bathroom mirror, and the most terrifying thing is in my reflection. I scream, and wake up. It is now dark outside. I go to my bathroom to wake up and splash some water on my face, hesitantly look in the mirror, same thing happens. I wake up again, refusing to look in my mirror. It felt like hours. I waited for the dream to end. I eventually went into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, same terrifying reflection. I wake up again, walk past bathroom, go talk to mother, everything in my house was f****d. It was all very dark. Shes standing alone in kitchen, im terrified. None of this feels like a dream at all. I wake up, do my normal thing, dont look in mirror, go to school, everything is normal. I go to bed. Wake up. I finally actually wake up. I dreamt an entire school day. I ask everyone about if any of the s**t i remember happening actually happened. It didnt.

I still am waiting to look in the mirror, and wake up in my bed again just to repeat the hell that that expereince was.

That's scary. I had a much milder version of this once. I went to bed and fell asleep. Dreamed I went to bed and fell asleep. Dreamed I went to bed and fell asleep. Then I woke up and started to figure out on which level I was awake. It took forever to realize I was actually fully awake. That sure was trippy.

When I was about 15 maybe 16 years old I went to a haunted house for Halloween with some friends. This particular haunted house is very popular throughout the US for being full contact as well as being truly haunted. It was featured in some ghost hunting show also. Actors dressed as doctors walked around outside screwing with people and would also sometimes put a bag over their head and would drag them inside and put them in random spots. I was one of those lucky enough to be "kidnapped". I was placed in a room bag still over my head and after waiting maybe a minute or two to be sure the doctor left I took the bag off. Seeing a faint (what I thought was just my brain playing tricks on me) shadow of a little girl. I rubbed my eyes because again I thought I was just hallucinating. My eyes came back to and I could see the figure of the little girl a little more clearly. I freaked out and ran out of the room screaming. All together I give Asylum 49 a 9/10.

When I was around 6 I was walking through my childhood home and thought I saw a woman walk across the kitchen into the garage. Of course me being 6 I followed her to the garage, but when I opened the door the lights were out and the garage was completely full of boxes. I went back into the house to find her and she was in her bedroom on the other side of the house. Much later in my life, my junior year of high school, my brother passed away. He was mentally handicapped and would often need me at night and would often knock on my door to wake me up. I’m a deep sleeper so he would have to k com hard. At the beginning of senior year I woke up in the middle of the night, sat straight up, stared into the darkness, and I was met with three distinct and loud knocks on my door. I don’t necessarily believe in ghosts but those two events have me scratching my head.

TL:DR Mom Doppleganger and Ghost Brother.

Have you ever been to a county fair? Have you ever seen the trashy trailer park looking dudes with the bombshell girlfriends? That. I can't explain that. I see at least like three every time I go to one.

Ok.. Don't ask me what it is.. The allure of a Carnie tends to draw women.. Probably the fact that they won't see them again because they move to another town and probably won't be back again that makes it dangerous and fun to play with while they are in town

When I was a child, I saw what looked like a golf ball of neon blue light pass in the night sky from my bedroom. It must have been the size of the moon. There was no real tail. I can still recall the trajectory each time I look out of the window. It is a crystal clear memory.

I know I wasn’t dreaming, because I called my parents into my room immediately. They still remember it to this day. The memory is so concrete in my mind, it is unlike any other childhood memory, and I was just five or so.

ETA: I am certain there is some barely-interesting explanation for my experience, but it is almost more interesting to me when left a mystery.

Okay, here is a story I posted previously.

Once long ago. My family was in the front of the house (living room and kitchen) while I was in the back of the house (my bedroom). I went to the bathroom real quick (which was in-between both my room and the front of the house) and was in there no longer than 60 seconds. By that time all the furniture in room had been rearranged.

And I mean completely moved from one end of the room to the other. Now, this included a bed, my grandmother's old recliner, and a heavy wooden desk and some other odds and ends.

Now the part that really makes it unexplainable was the fact that the recliner was blocking the only entrance into my room, and everyone was still in the front of the house.

Not too crazy since I don't really remember feeling scared but man was it the weirdest.

When I was around 6 or 7, I was waiting in line for a game at a neighbourhood party. This young boy about my age walked up to me, handed me a green power ranger action figure, and said "I'm sorry" then walked off. I still to this day have no idea what that was about, and I still have the action figure. It's pretty cool, you push a button on his back and his head flips around so he's no longer wearing a mask.

My three year old nephew walked by my room while I was playing computer, definitely noticed it out of the corner of my eye. My sister was in the bathroom getting ready using the mirror. She called out his name, and then walked into my room and asked if I saw him. I said yes, then remembered he was with our parents. We went into the room we both saw a small humanoid walk into and noticed the balcony door wide open. We lived on the 18th floor and NEVER used the private balcony.

We both pretty much agreed to pretend it didn't happen. Typing this gave me the goosebumps. I'd normally chalk it off as just my eyes playing tricks on me, but I turned my head as I saw it walk by and my sister clearly heard it walk by her, enough to have her think it was her son and call his name. She had thought maybe our parents had come back already, but nope. Just us and whatever the hell that thing was.

Actually as I was typing this, I also remember two other things that had happened while we lived there. One night I was sleeping and I heard a really weird sound I can only describe as a ray-gun. A sound increasing in frequency and pitch, and sounded a little bubbly if that makes sense. Right after I heard it, my room lit up with a green light for maybe half a second and then went away, almost as if something had pointed a spotlight right at my window.

My sister also told me she saw this one night, and when she looked out the window she saw it at another apartment building maybe 200m away. By it I mean just a green light shining at an apartment, apparently coming from nothing.

Yeah, only weird things to ever happen to me or anyone I know. I don't believe in ghosts, I think aliens are definitely out there but just not here. I have no explanation for what I experienced.

Two:

* I felt a weird shock/pain and discomfort to the point of me having to stop joking around and having to sit down while I was hanging out with a friend. We were hanging out sort of dating in that early teen lovey stage. It turns out that the time it happened coincided with the time of a grandparent's death, which really freaked me out.
* I was in the car with my brother. I didn't have a seat belt on because I was young and being a prick. We got to a stop sign and I immediately thought "put your seatbelt on, you're going to be in an accident", and sure enough, we were (it was a minor fender bender, nothing happened to the people, just cosmetic damages to one of the cars).

Perhaps they saw something out of the corner of their eye that they didn't fully register but they did register the meaning and was like "we're gonna have a crash"

When I was about 12 I was playing outside on a really windy day and a blue flying thing the size of a water bottle zoomed into my yard and got caught in some spider web in a bush. It's wings were clear so it wasn't a bird but the thing was huge and weird if it was a bug and freaking the f**k out tangled in the web and branches. It was thrashing so fast I couldn't get a good look at it and I just kept staring at it in disbelief cause I couldn't stop thinking "that's a f*****g fairy" I go over and try to detach it from the web and it breaks free. At the speed of f**k you it was gone again.

Some old lady at the mall asked if I was Drake from Drake and Josh. I said no and went to a Cracker Barrel across town later that night. She walked in and made awkward eye contact with me throughout my meal.

I once saw a spider surrounded very closely by like 20 flys all in a circle around the spider and facing the spider. I thought the flys were dead but when I got too close they all flew away. My greatest regret is not snapping a picture.
