35 Stories That Sound 100% Made Up But Are Actually True

ADVERTISEMENT

One moment you're eating lunch at Wendy's, the next Bill Murray is stealing your fries. Sometimes, life truly is stranger than fiction.

And even if you think you don't like surprises, your brain does. According to research, our reward pathways respond much more strongly to the unexpectedness of stimuli instead of their pleasurable effects. In other words, our inner workings are much more active when they are exposed to the unanticipated.

So we at Bored Panda decided to take a closer look at all the ways the universe likes to surprise us, and gathered a bunch of stories from all over the internet that sound made up but are supposedly 100% true.

At least their authors claim so.

I'm not sure if it's coincidental or not, but celebrities die after getting their pictures taken with me.

First it was Storm Thorgerson. I met him at an art gallery in Chicago and got my picture taken with him. 9 months later, dead.

Then it was Carrie Fisher. I met her at Chicago Comic Con and got a photo-op with her. 6 months later, dead.

I'm trying to get a photo-op with Donald Trump, if anyone wants to help me test out my potential super power.

35 Stories That Sound 100% Made Up But Are Actually True My father had a heart attack many years ago, and I showed up to the hospital at 3 a.m. Given the time and the fact that he was in ICU, I initially wasn’t allowed in. However, I was finally let in by a nurse who calmed me down and allowed me to see my father. He was so kind to our family throughout my dad's hospital stay. About six months later, my paternal grandmother was in the ICU for a medical issue, and again, we were cared for by this nurse. About a year later, I received a call from my dad telling me to turn on CNN. Turns out, the nurse was Charles Cullen, who famously confessed to murdering up to 40 patients.

35 Stories That Sound 100% Made Up But Are Actually True During my sophomore year of high school, my sister and her friend tried to set me up on a blind date with the guy who mowed her parents' lawn. It never worked out, and we never met. Two years later, during senior year, I met and started dating the guy who I'd eventually marry. A couple years later, we discovered that we were supposed to have been each other’s blind date sophomore year. We'll have been together 17 years this March!

35 Stories That Sound 100% Made Up But Are Actually True When I was around 8, my dog followed my dad to wait with me for my school bus. While they were waiting, my dad saw Fluffy get hit by a truck, so he took him and buried him. We then went out of town for the weekend. But on Sunday evening when we got home, Fluffy was standing on our porch! Dad couldn’t believe it and told us, 'I buried him on Friday!' Turns out, Fluffy had just been knocked out cold, so he rose from the dead and waited on us to come home.

I graduated 12th grade when I was in 9th grade.

My sister had a huge mental breakdown her junior year of high school and dropped out of public school. She enrolled online for her last two years of high school. She refused to do any of the work so I, who was in middle school at the time, was forced by my dad to do her schoolwork. I finished 8th grade and 9th grade at public school during the day and, in the evening, I did her 11th and 12th grade schooling. The lowest grade I earned masquerading as my sister was a 94 so I’m secretly pretty proud of that considering the age difference

EDIT: To clarify, my sister is regarded as “broken” by herself and all of my family members so I, being the “strong one” according to my dad, have to pick up the extra slack. Thank you for the kind responses also, it means a lot that I’m getting at least a little credit for the two years of work I put in lol. I come from a dysfunctional family of high school dropouts who think school is mainly a waste of time so I’m glad my fellow redditors are here to back me up. Education is important!! :)

My daughter met a little girl at the park last summer, and it turned out that they were both going into kindergarten at the same school. They ended up having the same teacher. This little girl also lives on our street. In fact, when we were house hunting, we toured their house. I also found out that when they were infants, they were both at the same center for a few months. I actually remember meeting her mom when we toured the room. And, very recently, we both discovered that we had gone to the same college and graduated the same year.

35 Stories That Sound 100% Made Up But Are Actually True My brain associates people with colors when I first meet them. The only color I ever pay attention to is yellow. Yellow people are usually really s**y people that I don't like. It's alarmingly accurate.

Edit: RIP my inbox. I tried to answer some questions today but can't get to all of them. To answer the repeating ones: I only get colors in person unless I'm watching videos or seeing pictures of myself. I'm purple. Generally I gravitate towards people in the cooler color spectrum. My wife is coral and is only one of two corals I've met. My mom is most unique in that I pick up earth tones with her and she's the only person I've met that I get multiple colors from. Yes to a certain extent there could be some self-fulfilling prophecy going on with my assumptions, though the color pairing is very real and annoying. I realize my comment was accidentally racist, but we all know what I'm meaning lol. Thanks for all the interest, glad I'm not as weird as I thought!

A Victoria Secret model married me.

I wrote a song that was played on the radio for years.

I won a college bowl game.

All of the above is true, but not nearly as impressive as it sounds.

She was a catalog model, not the runway type. We were young. She was pretty damn amazing.

I was 12 and got a keyboard for Christmas. I called the Friday night request DJ in my podunk town and told him I wrote him a song. He recorded it and opened his show with it for years because it was so campy.

It was a community college bowl game.

The more I read these, the more I realize how cool a life I've had and I'm only 42. A lot of these are relatable or things I've done and never realized they'd sound made up to other people. I flew an airplane from Martha's Vineyard to Long Island. It was a 6-seat Piper, same model that JFK Jr and Caroline Bissette took their last flight in. At 15, my dance company won 1st place at national competition and again when I was 16. I co-wrote, produced, and co-starred in a night club act in NYC for quite a few years in my 20s. I've met Rosie O'Donnell, Shaquille O'Neal, Savion Glover, Gregory Hines, Elaine Hendricks, Lisa Vanderpump, and know several members of the cast of The Producers. I'm related to Leonardo DiCaprio on his father, George's side. His father and my grandfather were cousins. Never met him but he knows us, have his autograph and baby pics in an old album (I'm 1/2 DiCaprio) Been to a TV show premiere on the network's dime. That was fun! Lots of cool stuff.

Forgot to mention the number of times I have seriously come close to death. One drug overdose that I am still unsure about how intentional or not it was (because it was Ambien and...obv) but 6 in one night while choosing a death outfit and writing your will seems pretty serious. I lived. Getting stuck on the LIRR train track between the barriers in a car that I wasn't driving with an oncoming train headed straight at us because the idiot driver chose to jump the tracks and get ahead of traffic. Made it out by the skin of our teeth. Got hit by an SUV as a pedestrian in village traffic when I was 23 and survived. Got beaten within an inch of my life in 2009 and lived (barely). Didn't expect this freaking article to hit so close but DAMN. I've been through some $hit. I've lived a LIFE. And I'm not done yet!!!

I was having lunch with a new coworker once, and he was telling me about his apartment and how haunted it was. He didn't tell me where it was, but the haunting sounded familiar — like an apartment I had once lived in. I told him the address, and he turned as white as a sheet. He was living in that same haunted apartment! When I told him a few details only he could know, he freaked out and moved out of the place that very week.

35 Stories That Sound 100% Made Up But Are Actually True I have full-spectrum synaesthesia, meaning that all of my senses are crossed with one another. As a result, I can quite literally taste the rainbow, I can see why kids love the flavor of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and whenever The Rock flexes, I can smell what he's cooking.

No, it doesn't make life more interesting for me. Keep in mind, I've never known anything different.

Yes, it does have some small benefits. The condition often helps me with any writing that I do.

No, it isn't a superpower, despite what you might have seen on whatever show that got it wrong.

Yes, I get asked these questions whenever I mention having the condition.

TL;DR: According to some, my life is a permanent acid trip.

35 Stories That Sound 100% Made Up But Are Actually True A couple of years ago, I was flat broke and in a store spending my last couple of bucks on ramen to get me through pay day. The lottery happened to be high, so I decided to spend my literal last $2 on a ticket. Well, this little old lady walked up behind me, and since the store was packed, I let her go ahead of me in the line. She purchased one quick pick lottery ticket. I then purchased my lottery ticket and ramen and went home. A couple of days later, I saw her on the news: She was the only winner of a $90 million jackpot. If I hadn't let her in front of me, I would've purchased that ticket, and I'd be millionaire right now.

35 Stories That Sound 100% Made Up But Are Actually True I have seen my own intestine.

Since somebody asked: Semi-Truck blew a red light as I was pulling out of the hospital I worked at. The ED crew ran out, shoveled me off the asphalt, and ran me inside. If it had been anywhere else I'd have bled out before an ambulance arrived. It broke my left everything, including ten ribs, many if which wound up in my lung, one of which is still unaccounted for. I was fortunate enough not to suffer any spinal damage, but I did lose my left leg below the knee. I've made a mostly full recovery, less the.leg and significant lung functionality.

If you think about how a grape splits open when you squeeze it too hard you'll have the right idea.

I don't get tired from running, and I can continually run without stopping for extended periods of time, and only tend to stop cause get bored from running. Other than having larger than average lungs due to being active, and also having a slightly larger heart than normal, I (along with everyone else) cannot figure out why I do not get tired from running... it doesn't make sense. In soccer games, people I play against tend to slow down as the game goes on, as their energy drains, but mine never lets up, and I can play multiple games with the exact same stamina as before, and looking at me, I look very regular, no six pack or anything, it's very strange.... I do also have very large Calf muscles, that could also be factor

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I DO NOT GET BRUISES. That may be also something to note that can correspond with my lack of tiredness. I've been kicked so hard in soccer, my Shin Bone Swells, but no bruises ever occur. I have friends test it on me and punch me as hard as they can, but no bruise will ever come. I think it's a chemical thing in my body

My great grandfathers story

He was born in Estonia, and after getting in trouble with the Russian mafia there as a teenager he fled to Sweden where he joined the military. Cue WWII and he’s sent to Italy to help some friends of friends get out of trouble with his brothers. Battle between the Italians and allies goes south, and one of his brothers is killed. The other two, along with himself, are captured and sent to a POW camp in Italy. A couple months in another of his brothers is killed in the camp. Following that Mussolini shows up to the camp and talks with my great grandpa. Why, I couldn’t tell you. After that him and his last surviving brother attempt a jail break where he escapes, but loses his brother. My grandfather goes north until he’s captured by the Russians, who he talks his way out of being a prisoner with and is rather treated as a guest until one day he’s summoned by none other than Joseph Stalin who he becomes friends with. At the end of the war Stalin sends him back to Sweden with a coin and a watch with the engraving “from Joseph to Reinhardt”

Not all that interesting but instead of having a cycle of four weeks like most woman do I have a cycle of two months. So instead of being on my period every four weeks I am only on my period once every two months. I am a healthy 21 year old and don’t know why this is.

When I was 10 on a holiday in Cuba we went on a 5 person catamaran excursion to do some snorkeling. Well low and behold hurricane Katrina was in the neighborhood and nobody told us to worry since it wasn't coming too close.

Turns out the tail end of the storm whipped up enough of a storm over us to make me damn glad I wasn't directly in its path.

The day seemed calm at first, it rained a bit but it did every day. The sky was overcast but not menacing.

I remember vividly after an hour at sea and returning to the resort the sky changing from grey overcast to black. That was our first clue something was wrong.

As we got maybe half a mile from shore our Cuban skipper/guide looked a bit off colour, and his English, sketchy at the best of times, suddenly became very accented and hard to understand as he pointed off back where we came from with panic in his eyes.

"Wind." He said. "The wind is coming".

We looked around, and there was a tornado, not nearby, a mile or two off maybe? But close enough to see it sucking up the Carribbean sea and causing us all to collectively soil ourselves.

Without warning, and as if Hollywood was directing the situation, the wind came. From barely a breeze to howling powerful sail locomoting swiftness. The catamaran accelerated and suddenly went from Sunday drive to an attempt at a sailing sea speed record. The sea got choppy, which was a nightmare when we got closer to shore since the sea is only a few feet deep even hundreds of yards out. I vividly remember there being a small hole in the canvas between the hulls of the boat, and as we hit waves water pressure would shoot a jet of water many feet in the air. We kept bottoming out as we rolled over the waves, about twenty yards from shore we ploughed into a big chunk of coral and all that inertia carried me through the air head first from the back of the boat into the mast. I don't think I blacked out, but my memory is fuzzy and the next thing I remember was being over my dad's shoulder with a big headache on shore. The boat was being pulled on shore by many frightened resort staff, the palm trees were straining and bending, and we all rushed inside the hotel. I'm not sure how no one got more injured, and we all got away unscathed. Except for me I had a gnarly black eye but otherwise fine.

So yeah, 10/10 would sail through a storm again.

Man I have too many mad stories, I tend to avoid telling half of them because they're pretty ridiculous.

I have morphea scleroderma, an autoimmune thing which made my immune system attack my skin pigments and discoloured a patch of me lol. I grew up in Scotland and because it was so rare I was dragged around to hospitals for dermatology specialists to prod at me for YEARS.

I've seen 4 different people stabbed on separate occasions, seen my dad stabbed 3 times, lol.

Saw a dude after he'd been attacked with a hatchet and a claw hammer, guy survived but barely, had huge braces over him for months after.

Been in a house fire, well apartment fire, had to jump out a 2nd floor window as a 9 year old.

Been in 3 car crashes, one of which I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, was thrown to a window as the car span out and we hit a tree which came through the back window where I was sitting and stuck in the back of my dads headrest, if I had been wearing my seatbelt theres a good chance my head would have been minced.

Went to watch a football game when I was 15 and ended up in a full scale riot consisting of 150,000 angry, drunken, Scottish football fans

I was arrested and charged with the murder of my wife (she’s not dead), spent over half-a-million dollars, a year in court, 6 months in jail, and eventually plead guilty to 6 violent strikes in California to end the ordeal. Still happily married to my wife.

True story.

Update: To clarify, I wasn’t exactly innocent. I made some extremely poor choices during a domestic violence incident with my wife. My wife, obviously upset, made some comments to law enforcement. Based on those comments, the arresting charges and the charges later filed by the D.A. we’re grossly exaggerated. I still have no idea why/how I was charged with murder as the person who contacted police was my wife.

You live and you learn. Keep your hands to yourself, people.

My Dad was a malignant narcissist, and he would have kept the money.

Also one bonus reason:

I was too chicken to say, "Hey, are you Herb?" He stopped and stood there for a while, then he turned and left.

A couple days later I got a call from the American Legion. They were holding an after-funeral meal for a past member, and wanted to know if I could donate a salad or something. I had never been asked to do this before, but I said ok. They told me the name of the person - and it was the owner of the social security card I had found.

Got rescued by my awesome Miss Iggy and me, couldn't poop for 2 weeks, then got a nasty case of pneumonia and a cold less than a week after he recovered. Got adopted out and not 48 hours later there was a house fire, whole place burned down, but somehow he survived. He got stolen TWICE. 10 days the first time, over 3 months the 2nd time.

MY friends dragged me along for a Spring Break road trip to San Francisco in the late 80's. We got lost in San Raphael looking for the freeway. We saw an open company in the industrial park where we were turning around so we went in looking for directions. Imagine our surprise when we discovered we had walked into Industrial Light & Magic and really peeved off George Lucas. We got our directions to the freeway and skedaddled. All our friends laughed at what they thought was a joke. A few years later one of my friends was at a Star Wars Celebration near Washington DC. Someone asked one of the producers what the craziest thing they ever saw at ILM was. He said the day three college students walked into ILM and asked for directions to the freeway. He said Lucas was so angry he wanted to move ILM that week until they talked him down. They also told him the fans would never tell anyone where ILM was because we had fandom gold. She called me and started chewing me out because the funny story I told was really true

Years before I knew my current partner I use to have Monday lunch with 2 girls from work, Jo and Sinta. Sinta would go into detail about the issues her best friend was having with the fiancé and that they would probably break up. Fast forward 10 years and my partner and me are laughing about how we worked in same building different lifts at the same time and other weird near misses which lead to the discussion about my girlee catch up. Turns out not only did he know Sinta but he was the fiancé in question. It's a small world.

I didn’t have canine teeth until a few months ago. My father is the second person in the world to make the impact of a company on the planet zero. I was born just a few minutes before my best friend. On the exact time i turned 13 i got a birthday wish. And this sounds fake if i say it in my country but i was born in the USA

I have two strange things up to now in my life : -Every time I go to Morocco, the pope change. I was there with family in 2005 when John Paul II died and I was there for my high school trip in 2013 when Benedict XVI rezigned. I now wonder what will happen if I go to Morocco one more time. -I have a "medical" anomaly where one of my tooth is growing upside down and traveled to my jaw. While the soft part of the tooth disappearing is common, my jaw bone absorbed the enamel which is apparently very very rare

I once did a headstand on my loft bed as a kid, with my knees on the ceiling, fell off, landed on my back, and got up unharmed. Kids bounce.

I went to High School with a girl who was born on the same day as me at the same hospital as me. My second cousin who I've never met also when to that same high school and graduated with my sister and we only found out because my grandmother recognized her name when it was announced.

I can control my dreams. Sadly I mean the ones that take place while I sleep. I'm not a fan of this because it's actually exhausting, I get a full 7 or 8 hours of sleep but it will feel like I barely got any. And no, drugs do not help, in fact it makes it worse.

MY friends dragged me along for a Spring Break road trip to San Francisco in the late 80's. We got lost in San Raphael looking for the freeway. We saw an open company in the industrial park where we were turning around so we went in looking for directions. Imagine our surprise when we discovered we had walked into Industrial Light & Magic and really peeved off George Lucas. We got our directions to the freeway and skedaddled. All our friends laughed at what they thought was a joke. A few years later one of my friends was at a Star Wars Celebration near Washington DC. Someone asked one of the producers what the craziest thing they ever saw at ILM was. He said the day three college students walked into ILM and asked for directions to the freeway. He said Lucas was so angry he wanted to move ILM that week until they talked him down. They also told him the fans would never tell anyone where ILM was because we had fandom gold. She called me and started chewing me out because the funny story I told was really true
