Humans have come a long way trying to explain things that seem mysterious to them. Once we believed that solar eclipses are gods’ way to show humans their anger, but now we know that it’s just the Moon covering the Sun. But there are still so many things for us to discover and find out—because there are so many things people see and can’t explain. They even may tell others what they witnessed and nobody believes them because it seems so unlikely, or they will believe them but fail to find a logical explanation.

These kinds of stories sometimes get really creepy and scary, but nonetheless they are so interesting because those experiences are quite rare. Reddit user Tiny_Map5886 was also interested in this topic and asked people, “What's something you can swear you saw but no one is believing you?” Some stories are quite entertaining and have a satisfying end as it turns out, they did see what they saw, but others are just plain scary.

If you have ever seen something that nobody believes you did, share it in the comments and upvote the stories that you would believe!

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did Kept telling my mom and sister I was seeing UFOs. Kept happening really regularly and frequently. Eventually I got them all to come outside because it was about time for one to show up. And it did.

It was a stealth bomber being test flown, long before the public announcement about them went out or any pics were leaked.

Blew all of our minds.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did I’m (31F) from Northern Ireland and this happened about 10 years ago. As I walked my dog, I suddenly felt like I was being watched. I looked around and quickly noticed a grey wolf slowly walking through the field I was beside, staring right at me with a mangled rabbit in its mouth. We were both walking in the same general direction. It looked huge, around 5 feet or so. It stared in such a predatory way I was terrified that it was going to come for us. It was about 15 meters away with a pretty pathetic fence between us, and we both just stood there frozen for about 10 seconds staring at each other. Eventually I picked up my (small) dog and backed away while watching it, I didn’t know what the hell to do. When it was nearly out of sight and still hadn’t moved, I turned and ran. I told my dad who didn’t seem to believe me but said I should call animal welfare, and they didn’t take it seriously at all, I never heard back from them. We don’t have wolves here so I have no idea what the heck happened. I Google it every few years and did read something about people managing to get wolves as pets and then releasing them when they got too big to keep or something, so I wonder if that’s what happened. But I always see a look of worried disbelief when I tell someone!

Edit: This was in the middle of the day so I could see it very clearly. Definitely didn’t look anything like an Irish Wolfhound, and we own large dog breeds (as well as the small I was walking), and it didn’t seem anything like a large dog. The closest breed I saw mentioned was the Northern Inuit, but more grey.

But it was much bigger with a wild, predator-like temperament. Honestly if I hadn’t seen it walking while staring, I might have wondered if I was just seeing things.

I saw a few comments mentioning a wolf sanctuary in Ireland and when I looked that up, this is the closest to what I saw! The town I was in is pretty small and not anywhere near any of the sanctuaries/zoos. I was also in a residential area—a row of houses on one side of me, the field on the other, so it still feels really random.

Edit 2: Someone has let me know that a grey wolf escaped approximately around the same time that this happened, from Tyrone which is only about 40-45 miles away from where I was! So it is seeming likely that someone was trying to keep it in captivity and it escaped. I’m not crazy, hurray!

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did I have clear and distinct memories from when I was still in diapers and a crib. No one in my family believed me until I described the EXACT layout of my room at the time, bed and dressers included. We don’t have any photos of this room, so this isn’t a false memory situation like my brother said. I even described a time my mom gave me cough medicine in a Mickey mouse spoon from before I could even talk.

It’s weird because my short term memory is trash, but my long term memory is absolutely unreal.

Here’s hoping this all fits.

Used to work health care. Specifically, dementia palliative care. Palliative meant that people had a certain amount of time to live, and usually declined pretty quickly. To put it nicely: dementia residents came to me to be cared for while they died.

I worked night shift, 11pm-7am. I’ve seen and heard dead residents at night, watched living residents talk to an empty room, and then mention they were talking to someone who died long before they ever came into my care, someone they had never met.

My coworkers believe me, but no one else ever has.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did 6 years ago I went through 10 surgeries for a badly broken leg. During one of the surgeries early on, I have distinct memories of waking up and hearing, seeing and smelling several minutes of the surgery. I also remember a nurse looking me in the eye and then telling someone I was awake. I then passed back out, presumably due to more anesthesia. No one believes me that this happened. I’m now terribly afraid of surgery and hope I never have to enter another operating room.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did I think I had a collision problem once. Was about to take a shower and stuck my arm in to feel the water. But the water just...didn't connect. It went right through my arm, no temperature or splashing or anything.

Here's the weird s**t. I wasn't by myself. I called my wife in and she watched the same thing happen. Her arm acted normally, got wet and warm. Kept putting my arm in the stream and it didn't interact with the water at all, was like it wasn't there.

We tried water from the sink, and that was fine, I could touch that. I poked a bunch of other random s**t too, no changes. Wife put her arm beneath mine and said she could feel the water hitting her arm, like mine wasn't even there. Then at one point I stuck my arm in and it was just...fixed? Everything worked normally. We hadn't changed anything.

My wife hates talking about it because people always grill her with questions and explanations

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did I live in a rural community in Canada. My sister came to see me once and swore up and down that she saw a zebra grazing in the fields. I made fun of her for a couple of years about how the zebra roam the north pole and how Santa has zebra instead of reindeer. She was really starting to doubt herself but stuck to her guns.

Well, I was driving one day and lo and behold, a f*****g zebra grazing in the field. Turns out a zoo sometimes lets them roam around there.

When I told my sister she felt vindicated.

Edit: Since this has come up a lot. This was near between Orangeville, and Arthur. And was about 10 years ago.

Friend of mine had some family from europe visiting him in the Toronto area. They wanted to see "Canadian Wildlife" so he drove them around the country a bit. They were asking if it was really possible to see moose or bears, a little skeptically. He said probably not this close to the city, but it was possible. Five minutes later a giraffe ran across the road head of them. Turned out it had gotten loose from a safari park thing. I hope they don't still have those.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did My Betta fish disappeared out of a covered tank. And then reappeared in front of my eyes.

If you can imagine: This tank is clear plastic on all sides, including the bottom. There's nowhere to hide when it's empty. The only thing not transparent is the metal lid. Betta fish are known to hide, so I didn't worry about not seeing him for a couple days, but on day 3 I got worried, so I took the heater and filter out. Checked the inside of the filter. Took the plants out. Took the hides out. No fish.

Nothing in the tank but water and glass rocks now, so I started scooping the rocks out, thinking he may have gotten trapped under there and died. Pretty soon I'm staring at a tank with nothing but water in it. No fish.

I figure there's no way he's still alive so I start scooping the water out. It's about 3/4 full when suddenly my fish does one of those fishy slow-turns in the dead center of the tank. There he was. It wasn't, like, I turned away and then back and my fish was there. No, I was staring at the tank, and I quite literally saw him swim back into existence. One second he wasn't there, the next he was.

I moved him to a smaller bowl for a few days to keep an eye on him. Covered the top with perforated plastic wrap to ensure no jumping. He disappeared from the bowl a couple days later and never came back. Have owned several Betta fish, and I can honestly say no other fish has ever dimension hopped out of a tank since.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did Not something I saw, something I felt and heard. I was struggling to sleep one night, lying in bed feeling wired and irritable when I felt pressure lift from the bed on my partner's side. I assumed he'd got up to go to the bathroom (I was facing the opposite way so I didn't see him do this) a few minutes go by and I hear him come back into the room and feel him get back in bed, nothing strange about that.

Lying there still frustrated the same thing happens again, a lift of pressure, some rustling sounds like a person trying to navigate a dark room, an absence of sound for a few moments and then the sensation of weight on the bed again. Still not thinking much of it, because it wasn't an obvious cause for concern, I continue trying to fall asleep. Then it happens again. And again. And again.

I wasn't too into the idea of asking him if he was ok as we had a ridiculous argument that night and I was pretty pissed off with him, so I just ignored it. But then... Then it sounded like he had got up and was simply pacing around the room clumsily, I could hear things on the shelves being touched and slightly moved and hands gently brushing against walls, and then I felt the bed suddenly dip in a concentrated spot of the mattress as though he had stood on it. This carries on for I don't know how long, rustling, pressure on the bed and so on until I snap. I sit bolt upright, turn around and say "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" to see my partner waking up from a very deep sleep and looking confused.

I told him what had happened and he said he'd been asleep next to me the whole time, which was pretty obvious to see him in his very sleepy state, plus he would have had mere seconds to jump into bed without me noticing in the time it took me to sit up and turn around. I somehow fell asleep that night feeling confused and as though eyes were on me.

And in a typical cheesy haunted house fashion, I get a call from my mum the next morning telling me my uncle had died the night before.

That seems very dismissive since there is no indication that the person telling the story couldn’t move which would seem to be a pretty big component of sleep paralysis. This is just a normal dream of their partner getting up repeatedly. Similar to when you might think you turned off your alarm, got up, started to get ready for your day, just to have the alarm go off again in real life and you awake to realize that you are still in bed and you were dreaming about getting up and getting ready.

My nextdoor neighbor asked me if someone died in the house years ago. He knew that a man committed suicide several months before he bought the house. But he described sitting on the bed and sometimes feels a person sit on the bed next to him. He described a woman in detail. Well, the suicide man's wife died in the home several years before he committed suicide. My neighbor described her to a tee. He'd never seen a picture of her before. I didn't tell him another suicide happened in that house about 30 years before too. Something about that house!

When I was 12, I stayed with my great aunt while my mother and brother ran to the grocery to get lunch stuff. She took me into her basement and "introduced" me to her husband. Her long dead husband. Who's remains were in a ziploc in a file drawer, neatly filed. She made a big deal about how she bought a brand new box of ziplocs for him instead of reusing one. She was all about the frugality, my great aunt.

No one believed me until after she died. When my mother and aunt found the cremains in the ziploc in the file drawer.

My Dad passed away from Cancer when I was 7 years old. My parents asked me if I wanted to be there when he died and I said no. My parents arranged for me to go to their best friends house to sleep over the night after I had said my goodbyes as he was fading away. That night he did pass and I experienced something that I cannot explain. I remember this vividly, I was fast asleep and I wake up bolted upright at 11:50pm like I was pulled awake and I knew immediately that he had died right then. I had this really strange sense of calm and acceptance and I felt my Dad’s presence like he was saying goodbye. Later I asked my Mom when he died and told her that story and it shook her hard, it happened. A few years later she took me to a clairvoyant who afterwards said I was a clairvoyant too. My mother is a highly intelligent lady, women of science and to my knowledge didn’t tell this lady a thing. A few years later I’m sitting on the couch after school with my sister watching TV and I get that same feeling again and immediately know that my Mom has been involved in a car accident and I told my sister right away like I didn’t have a choice I just said it. I was right she had been in a car accident at that exact time. This was before cell phones and I had no way of knowing, no communication with my Mom. Two events where I knew without a doubt that events had occurred when I had no logical way of knowing. It hasn’t happened since and I have no explanation whatsoever for either of them.

I can remember 5 different phone calls when as soon as it rang I knew who it was and that they were calling to let us know about someone who had died. I also knew the sex of various babies before they were born and also knew when their mums were in labour.

I'm someone who believes in logic and the laws of the universe so this really throws me off, I struggle to believe it myself but I vividly remember this person, this ghost if you wish.

I was looking at it in mY rear view mirror, and it looked really mangy and diseased, but was looking right back at me. I watched it lift its front paw off the ground, and it waved at me with a five fingered, human f*****g hand before placing it back on the ground, once again a paw.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did I saw my uncle fall from the roof as he was escaping a house fire. He was able to get inside the car and take off but not before the house toppled over on top of the car. After a few minutes he appeared out of the smoke, limping away. I distinctly remember running back to my house (right next door) to tell my mom about what had just happened.

We go outside and nothing. No fire, no smashed car, no house falling over.

I dunno wtf 5 year old me was smoking but I had the hardest time processing what had just happened or not happened. My mom was so angry with me for coming up with such a awful lie about her little brother.

Til this day, 27 years old now, I can't explain what, why, or how I saw what I saw but I very much remember terrifying feeling I felt during and afterwards.

Mom thinks I must've fallen asleep playing outside and woke up from a nightmare and panicked but whatever it was it feel too real.

Took me hour of searching until through the window I see my dog laying perfectly comfortable on sun on glass top garden table as high as normal dining table. Glass top. 30 kilo Stafford. With both sided dysplasia... I have no clue how she got there, never saw her jumping but chairs were under the table perfectly fitting so couldn't go on chair and than on the table. I was freaked out but happy she was ok... Dogs are strange 😊.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did A few years back I saw a capybara in my front yard (in Alabama). NO ONE believed me because by the time I came back with my phone he was gone.

The best I got was a, “I guess it might have been a capybara” after a local man was found to have his own exotic animal collection less than three miles away.

Other animals I saw in that yard: an emu and two bison.

I must have lived pretty close to that dude’s land.

Edit to add: it was def a capybara. I watched it for several minutes and estimated it’s weight somewhere around 100-130lbs . Dude also had a panther escape in the area which brought in state wildlife officials.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did I have never mentioned this before to anyone. Scene: EPCOT in Orlando, on the brick walkway between a walk-thru part with stores and such on either side and the part leading up to The Land. Date: June 2008. I was with my pregnant wife. Huge storm rolls in, black clouds, about to pour, when there was this unearthly deafening sound and bright light exploded. I opened my eyes and I was standing 30 feet or more away back under the covered walkway, unharmed. My wife said I had been standing right beside her, then I wasn't. It was too far to have run in the brief second of the explosion (I assume a lightning strike). Swear this happened as well as I could tell it.

You’re lucky to be alive, dude! I read a fascinating book by someone who was struck by lightning, and it really messed up her neural pathways. I went online to find the title and met with no success, but it’s out there.

I have very vivid memories of my great grandfather. I distinctly remember which room he lay in for months while being cared for by his family and what the layout of the room was like. I also have a memory of playing with him and him talking to me while I was being fully aware that he had cancer in the latest stages and understood that he would probably die soon.

Thing is I only ever met him once in person and I was only 4 months old.

My family has pointed out that I knew facts about his appearance that I could not possibly have known because there are close to no pictures of him. (like a big scar he had across his chest from an operation)

I have no other memories from my early childhood. (In fact my memory about that time is so bad I don't even correctly recall things from my time in kindergarden.)

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did Was playing with my Cousin and a friend of ours outside. We were riding our bikes and had a bunch of fun, but couldn't explore that far from where I live l, since we were like 7 or 8 y/o.

As we were cheerfully cycling down a long road behind a parking garage near my apartment, I started to slow down as I was getting tired of it. Both of them were continuing to cycle down the road as they haven't noticed me being left behind yet.

You have to understand that the location of the road was right in between the parking garage (with 2 floors) and a fence which has only rails on the other side and was usually deserted. So once I stopped cycling, I could only turn tail or follow the road ahead.

After reaching my limit, I simply stopped my bike mid way after a while and tried to catch some breath. While doing so something caught my eye on the backstairs of the parking garage, I tried to get closer to check out what it was out of curiosity. But boy was that a mistake. I spotted a man who seemed kneel down behind a wall of the backstairs. Didn't seem suspicious at first, however after a closer look I saw what seemed like knife covered in blood. My body froze and all I could feel was fear that went through my body, which felt like it lasted for minutes. The man just started to catch on with me standing on road and began to slowly stand-up and face my direction. I was somehow able to get my brain back to process and bolted down the street with any power I had left in me.

After passing both my cousin and friend, as well as leaving a big distance to where I spotted him. I started to break down in tears and explaining what happened. No one would believe me, since they went back to check and found nothing strange. Got so traumatized from it, that I avoided the road until my mid teens.

Tldr; saw a man with a knife covered in blood behind a parking garage while cycling as kid and no one would believe.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did When I was a kid I remember seeing a lady’s face in a doorway "grinning" at me, with what I assumed to be something brown covering her entire face and teeth. I would see her several times until we moved away when I was 5. Obviously my family didn’t see her but my mom got worried when I told her that I saw "the lady from the kiosk", which is what I called the lady after I dreamt of her falling down a flight of stairs in a small store not far from our house.

And I s**t you not, my mom told me a few months ago that in the same store I was dreaming of, a woman had fallen down a flight of stairs and had her face torn on the way down, apparently being covered in dried blood when she was found, hence my description of her. Imagine the look on my face when I heard that lmao

Also, apparently I kept talking to my mom about a man in the wall back then?? I don’t remember seeing a "man in the wall" but I do remember talking about him.

When I was little, maybe 7, the son of a lady who babysat my brother and I, cut his leg on our swing set. Green goo came out of his leg. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember the type of bolt it was, the cover is was missing to prevent cuts.

I’m a dentist now (taken gross anatomy, dissected a human body, routinely in the OR for resections of crazy head and neck tumors).

With the exception of gross infections, I’ve never seen green goo come out of someone. Let alone a healthy leg.

It will never make sense to me. Ever.

Dentists do not resect tumors unless they are also *surgeons*, just clarifying.

In November of 2012, the day before the world was supposed to end, my buddy and I went up to the store to grab drinks. We no joke saw a full size airplane so low to ground we couldn't believe it. It was hovering above a street light and wasn't moving. Even weirder was when we got to the store as soon as we entered every single person we could see all turned their heads and started right at us, like we weren't supposed to be there. They stopped shortly after but damn was it the weirdest thing ever. Of course no one believes us.

The sky “go black” about 2 years ago.

It was 7 am and I was off to work and the sky had that beautiful dark blue hue it does just as the sun is about to start rising. As I’m walking to my car in the drive way, the sky turned completely black and then I heard just a long prolonged trumpet sound. I thought the world was ending. The sound lasted for like 5 seconds and then everything went back to “normal”. It was insane and I still don’t understand what happened to this day.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did I was 10 and in the car with my mom. I looked out the window (passenger side) and the lady next to us looked back at me. Her face was distorted. I was mortified. I turned to my mom to tell her and when we both looked, the lady was just smiling. I remember her so clearly and her little blue car

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did When we were ten years old, all of my cousins and siblings were playing hide and seek in the dark in the middle of a park. When someone gets found, you join the seeker to look for people, but you can’t tell them where they are. I was the seeker and I had just found one of my cousins, so we were walking around and looking for the rest. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone that looked exactly like my brother run past us at inhuman speed. I turned to look at my cousin and he had admitted that he saw the same thing. We found my brother later in the round, but he was at the other side of the park. Nobody believes either of us but both of us still remember it.

Edit: no, we were not all ten years old. Me and the other seeker were ten years old.

Hubby and I were watching Dick Clark's New Years Eve thingy one year and the camera caught him trying to kiss some woman who was guesting. She was struggling to get away from him and the camera quickly cut away. We both saw it but I've never heard from anyone else that did.

Many years ago, I watched a live performance of a ballet on TV, I think "Romeo and Julie" and in the last act, the premiere danseur came out... with his warmup sweatpants over his costume tights. The poor bastard had forgotten to take them off before coming on stage, and there he was on national TV! I was crying with laughter, and he had to dance all these tragic scenes in the droopy sweatpants, because the choreography didn't give him a chance to duck offstage and take them off.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did A few months ago, I was at work. I worked opening shift (4:30 am) that morning and one of my co-workers was late. I heard the door open and I saw a shadow walk towards the door to the back. It stays locked to keep customers out so I opened it, but noone was there. I figured he just went to the bathroom.

Like 20 minutes later, I go to my manager.

Me: Hey, I think employee took off. I saw them earlier but they never came in.

Manager: Employee is in North Carolina taking care of his family.

My cousin saw this aswell but anyway, back in Pakistan my family owns a good amount of land and my uncle was building kinda far from most of the houses in our village, it wasn't that far but further than most houses were. The part of land he built his house on wasn't completely cleared out and he had a path going through the trees, he needed the path initially for vehicles to get in to bring building materials. Anyway I was walking past at night with my cousin and it was like 11 at night so not that late but it was pitch black bc it was December, in our village there had been a few people who claimed to have seen jinns in the area and while walking back I jokingly said lets go say hi even tho I knew they were asleep, I look down the path and saw someone there. I pointed it out to my cousin who shouted who's there, it disappeared then about 10 seconds later it reappeared significantly closer, I was so scared I nearly pissed myself (I was 7 at the time) We broke into a sprint and ran home. I couldn't sleep properly that night.

I had to check up: jinn /dʒɪn/ noun djinn; plural noun: djinn (in Arabian and Muslim mythology) an intelligent spirit of lower rank than the angels, able to appear in human and animal forms and to possess humans. Scary, no doubt.

Leaving a friend's house in rural Iowa. Taking a back road to my house. A paved road that is called "old 71" because it used to be the main highway, it runs parallel to "71". Nobody drives on old 71 unless they live in old 71. 3 identical black SUVs with pitch dark tinted windows,including windshield pass by me in the oncoming lane. They weren't speeding. They all had bright yellow license plates that said "Covert". Nothing in the news the next couple weeks. Still don't know who they were or what they were up to.

These happen. They just aren't often seen by humans. There was one in the UK recently that landed on someone's driveway. I remember another from the news that actually caused some damage in Russia.

I was walking home behind my high school at night, and in the teachers break room I saw a cleaning lady pushing a cart and she went into the floor like she and the cart got onto an escalator and went down, this is in the teachers break room there are no escalators or ramps in there, I could understand her slowly descending for some weird reason but not the cart those things are solid.

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did Something that sure looked like a UFO. I'm pretty sure it was probably just a spotlight from the ground moving across the clouds, but even when I describe it that way people think I'm just imagining things. I also have no clue where a spotlight would've been in that part of town, so that complicates things.

Saw a black plane with backwards wings. But after all my research I can't find s**t about it.

Edit: imma put more info on this comment: pitch black, backward wings, maybe like two years ago, northern Utah, flying south to north.

I know planes like that existed, but none like that I know of in existence or in flying condition currently, and why here?

I’m the only one in my family who doesn’t switch their knife from one hand to another to cut their food. I swear I learned to eat like that because my dad did too.

My entire family says that’s not true, he never has. It drives me insane!

30 Incredibly Bizarre Things People Saw Happen Yet Others Refuse To Believe They Did I was at my boyfriends house. We woke up and I made us bagels and cream cheese. I put mine in the toaster and walked his over to him. When I came back the toaster was propped up on its side stacked on something else. I certainly didn’t do it nor did I bump it as I walked away. When I left it was sitting flat on the counter toasting my bagel. I have no explanation for how it happened as he was in the backyard.
