“One Of The Most Terrifying Experiences”: Things People Swear They've Seen But Nobody Believes Them Came back from dinner with my then girlfriend (now wife) and our friend to friend's house. Friend said Shhhh and we crept up to the window next to the front door. Her chocolate lab was laying asleep on the couch that he wasn't allowed on. She jiggled the door knob for a few seconds before unloading the door and opening it. We went in to find the dog across the room in his dog bed pretending to be asleep. She goes over and "wakes" him up - he looks at all of us like he's just woken up and sleepily starts wagging his tail and gets up and stretches. One of the funniest things I've ever seen and proof that he was smarter than half the humans I've met in my life. If we had that on camera we'd have won the $100K on AFHV for sure.

“One Of The Most Terrifying Experiences”: Things People Swear They've Seen But Nobody Believes Them When I was 10 we had a 14 year old German Shepard who was getting very sick. I was home alone momentarily as my mom went to the neighbors to pick up a book or something. Our German Shepard came over, convinced me to walk outside with him and started licking my hands, looked at me, and ran away jumping the fence and he never came back. He was so loyal and good that to this day noone believes me and thinks he was stolen because he would never leave.

I'm almost certain he did that because he didn't want us to see him die and he wanted to go to the massive forest area and do his thing. I miss you buddy.

“One Of The Most Terrifying Experiences”: Things People Swear They've Seen But Nobody Believes Them I was staying for a week at a guest house on some property up in the middle of nowhere Washington State. I’m sitting on the porch early in the morning drinking a cup of coffee and I see a young deer in the yard about 20 yards from me. So I just stay still and take it in. Then along comes this rabbit hopping in and they notice each other. The rabbit hops up toward the deer and the deer cautiously puts its nose toward the rabbit.

The rabbit gets up on its hind legs and they slowly inch their noses closer and closer to each other. Then they touch and the deer hops straight up in the air. The rabbit runs in a full circle around the deer and then stops. Then they repeated the exact same thing. They did this like 3 times then ran back into the woods together. This was before cell phones and I’m glad it was. It was just something for me and me only and I am grateful for it.

I jumped out of my seat when I saw it, my engineer didn't as he was looking at me while talking. Told him what I saw, described it expecting to be given s**t about it.

“One Of The Most Terrifying Experiences”: Things People Swear They've Seen But Nobody Believes Them This happened years ago. My wife and I were moving cross-country in the US, and we'd spent a couple nights at her grandparents' place in Topeka, Kansas, which is on the far east side of the state. We left after a couple days of snow, it was a little cloudy but there was no fog, and we were driving across the width of Kansas to Colorado where we'd be staying with *my* grandma for a couple days.

Less than five miles outside Topeka, we were swallowed by the thickest, densest fog I've ever experienced, including when I regularly drove through fog-heavy Half Moon Bay in California. There was no one on our side of the highway, and no one was coming the other direction. For hours. For the first 3-4 hours maybe *one* car passed going the other direction, it was just... thick thick fog.

We pulled aside once, not even to get gas just to get snacks and to use the restroom, and the gas station was lit up, but there were NO cars parked around it, and we could see inside, and there were NO people inside. We watched for about 10-15 minutes, there were no signs of life. We ended up just leaving, because it was so eerie.

I cannot express enough how empty it was. When we talk about it, we usually call it "Silent Kansas", after the Silent Hill games, because there was just nothing but the thick fog and a sense of foreboding. We drove for HOURS across Kansas, and the fog did not lift or lessen, and we did not see another living being. There were no signs (which I KNOW are usually there) for gas stations and restaurants. It was just empty nothingness in the fog.

And then, we crossed the state border into Colorado, and within like 2 miles, before even hitting the mountains (so we were at the same altitude as we'd been before hitting Colorado), the fog was gone, the sky was clear and blue, and there were multiple cars on the highway going both directions.

We both experienced it. But we will never be able to prove it happened, because it was before the era of ubiquitous smartphones, and neither of us had the ability to record it at the time. It remains one of the most terrifying and inexplicable experiences I've ever had.

“One Of The Most Terrifying Experiences”: Things People Swear They've Seen But Nobody Believes Them I mean I can't prove it but I once saw a woman pull up to a drive thru window with no arms. When I handed her her two drinks she grabbed them one at a time between her neck and collarbone. She moved them each to a cup holder, grabbed the straws between her big and second toe, leaned back put it in gear and drove off with one foot on the wheel.

And when i say no arms I'm talking NO arms. Her torso just ends at the shoulder. I would never have believed it if I had not seen it myself. Talked to some coworkers and they knew all about her. Apparently she has an Instagram and is a painter.

Really humbled the f**k out of me and made me realize I take for granted a lot of s**t and b***h about insignificant s**t a LOT.

I looked at the head of my bed and saw him walk in my room, wave and walk out. He was so chill about it , it didn't dawn on me what I saw. My mom called me in hysterics about an hour later telling me he died. Everyone said it was a shame I didn't know him before the "accident" or see him standing.

I see most of our family members right before the pass, as did my great aunt. The most heart breaking one was hearing her say (I'm hard of hearing so that makes it really strange) "It's your turn ole girl. You can do it". (Ole girl and weird girl were her nicknames for me).

“One Of The Most Terrifying Experiences”: Things People Swear They've Seen But Nobody Believes Them I was at my parents, sitting in the living room. They have a dog and I was looking at her, waiting for her to give me her attention. After a few minutes, she looked at me. I wanted to teach her something unnecessary, my parents would wonder about later. I began to raise my eyebrows. She looked at me still. I did it more often. She was still very curiously looking at me. I went on raising my eyebrows over and over again for at least a few minutes. After staring at me for a really long time, she suddenly raised her eyebrows. I found it so funny and couldn't believe, she really copied me. When I told my family, no one believed me and my parents dog would not do it again. This was three years ago and from time to time I sit in front of her, raising my eyebrows. But nothing...

Dogs can raise their eyebrows, and the best part about it is that they can only do it because it evolved to make them better at begging for stuff from humans. So pretty much, dog evolution allows them to mimic a human expression (aka puppy eyes) because looking very innocent gave them a natural advantage. Wolves, which obviously don't live with humans, don't have development in the responsible facial muscles.

“One Of The Most Terrifying Experiences”: Things People Swear They've Seen But Nobody Believes Them Ive had my sight shift in a forest.

One moment I was sitting peacefully with my bf enjoying my surroundings, the next the forest was crawling with life, like the noises of a lively gathering, with see through beings crawling all over. It was just a split second, but reminded me of the stories of dryads and fey in general.

And while my sight shifted back when my bf started talking to me,that’s not where the experience ended.

The next 15 minutes we heard the rustling of leaves cascade. First far away near the edge of the forest, and so closer and closer to us.. then someone would walk by us, and the leaves to the other side would rustle.

It felt like an ‘intruder alert’ system.

This happened with several bypassers.

That was one of the most memorable days Ive ever had in the forest. Like I was accidentally part of another world for a moment.

Fyi with naked eyes it was almost impossible to see...I saw it super clearly thru the camcorder screen while I was recording it though. What a trip.

I was once down on the cliffs at night with a date, it was about 1am. We both saw a man jump off the cliff. We reported it, the police searched for barely a day, then told us that no evidence was found, no people were recently reported missing, and 'quite frankly, your description of the man's clothing is a little concerning. Why would a man jump off a cliff wearing a full suit, waistcoat and a trilby hat?', We got bollocked for making things up and wasting police time. But we know what we saw.

I was standing in a convenience store parking lot waiting for my husband to come back out, smoking a cigarette and pacing around anxiously. Behind the parking lot was a cement-walled river that snaked through the city. A bald eagle swoops down in front of me, plunges into the water, and comes back up seconds later clutching a fish, and flies off. And I'm standing there, holding my phone, just blinking. Never saw a bald eagle in the wild that close (I see them flying overhead on occasion.)

In my 20s I was on a solo roadtrip. I was on this highway between Nebraska and South Dakota. It was the middle of the day but there was not a lot of traffic. There were no cars around me. I was cruising along, in the middle of nowhere when this weird feeling washed over me. I slowed down and as I did i looked to my right and saw this massive wolf? running toward the road. Everything went in slow motion as the wolf ran across the road right in front of me. Then as he hit the other side it was like time sped up again. I was stunned. No one believes me. They don't belive it was a wolf. Some have said coyote but I'm familiar with coyotes and they don't look like this and I've never seen one that big. Dog? Maybe. But again this thing was just massive. Plus, the weird sensation. If I hadn't slowed down when I did, it's likely I'd have hit it with my car.

I was in the middle of the forest when I was a kid, and I heard a phone ringing. Nothing too weird about that, right? Except that this was clearly a landline phone and it was long before the days of mobile phones. It sounded exactly like it was ringing in someone's house, except there were no houses for miles. It wasn't until much more recently that I figured it out - it was the call of the wild.

Few years back we had a chonky neighbourhood porcupine. It didn’t belong to anyone, just a wild fella, but I live in a major city where wildlife is almost nonexistent so it was extremely strange. None of my friends believed me. Nobody knows where it came from or where it lived. We suspected that it lived in my front neighbour’s land which is an expansive area that is overgrown with trees & shrubbery. It only came out at night & we all have spotted it. It was so timid & ran away at any sound so all we could do was observe from a distance. I once took a photo but without night mode it was just two glowing eyes. When it visited our garden it would walk through a pathway with small shrubs that was right outside my window. When the quills rubbed against the plants it sounded like rain/water patter. First few times I heard that I legit thought someone broke into our garden & was taking a shower! Unfortunately we haven’t seen it in a few years now. I’m hoping it didn’t meet an untimely demise.

I was 8 maybe 9 years old and there was a group of us exploring the woods across the stream behind our church. We'd explored as far as we were comfortable with the one way before coming back to the shallow crossing area. I wanted to go on the other path but the other kids went back to the church so I went alone, not realizing a storm was brewing. I heard tge thunder and had an odd feeling and turned around and saw the shadow of what looked like a black panther but was more than likely a black mountain lion (this was in west virginia)cross the path. I kept my guard up and went back to the church and told an adult. I got in trouble for both living and not staying with the other kids. I still remember it quite vividly to this day even if no one ever believes me.

When I was 9 or 10, my family lived in a log cabin in the Cascade Mountains in Washington State. Our house sat on a ridge overlooking a valley with a river flowing through it. On hot summer nights we enjoyed "camping" out on our porch which faced the valley. One of these nights I was out there and I saw a UFO! It was the shape of an egg laying on its side but It was the size of a house and it was glowing this golden colored light from its entire surface. It was hovering above the valley floor slowly moving up the river. Years later I wast recounting this story to my older sister when she got this sudden look of fear on her face. She said she remembered the night I was talking about because it was unusual for me to sleep out there alone. She said she had a vivid dream that night of a bright golden light shining through her windows and the silhouettes of tiny people trying to get in.

In the drop down menu you can see questions people have posted. But I rarely see these type of prompts before the list comes out so I am not sure how it works. You can create a post.

I once was driving home through a forrest at night and saw a deer and a bobcat (super rare at that time). A few years later I was driving the road and told my BF when we were at the same curve... guess what we saw? A deer ...sadly no bobcat.

There was a day where I was able to correctly insert USB type A on the very first attempt. On THREE separate occasions. It felt so unreal that day. Never able to repeat it again though.

Love this stuff, esp the ghosties and weird creatures. Reminders of how strange this world is.

My favorites are stories of supposedly extinct animal sightings. I know most of them aren’t true but it gives me a tiny bit more hope for the world.
