Some events are hard to explain, leaving us with more questions than solutions. It could be a weird tale from a trustworthy source or a scary incident we’ve seen ourselves—these strange occurrences stick with us. Discussing them can bring comfort and healing, as shown by the individuals in this article who shared their stories with many others online.
Story 1:
My son once said to me, “Mommy, a big man comes into my room at night.” I told him to tell it to go away. I didn’t think much of it. Weeks later, I woke up at 3 a.m. because of noise in his room. I hurried there and found him sitting on his bed, staring out the window and talking to himself. When I looked across the street, I saw what looked like a person standing in an apartment’s lit-up room.
My heart raced but when I looked closer, it was just how the lamp and furniture were arranged casting shadows that looked like someone. I felt relieved and sat next to my kid telling him no one was coming into his room. As he drifted off again, I took one last look just to make sure it was only light playing tricks.
Story 2:
I was sitting on the couch with my partner when suddenly we heard “I love you.” Then my partner replied back saying “I love you too.” It confused me because my mouth wasn’t moving!
I could hear words being spoken but neither of us said them! It sounded like a woman’s voice right near me even though no one else was around outside or inside our place—it felt really creepy! I’m still thinking about that moment.
Story 3:
I have clear memories of this red and yellow snake made from socks; it had thin limbs and legs plus an odd mouth like some kind of fish! Now looking back they might have been hallucinations which still happen sometimes but I’ll never forget how they appeared!

Story 5:
At seven years old while camping, I accidentally got into the wrong car thinking it belonged to Dad who must’ve been packing up our stuff nearby. A man not related got behind the wheel starting up without knowing I’d climbed in.
When asking this “dad” something he seemed shocked realizing there’s a seven-year-old girl inside! Once realizing he wasn’t actually Dad—I screamed apologized & ran away fast!
Story 6:
My ex-wife & i bought an older house built in the ’30s; while remodeling we painted baseboards down in basement letting them dry overnight.
The next morning they had deep scratches as if someone dragged something sharp along two boards nearly eight feet long each cutting through new paint all way down—just two people were home!
Story 7:

Just then as reading about parent having deaf child—a boy sat beside me; didn’t think much until mom came over practicing sign language together!
Story 8:
My sister & i used play with homemade Ouija board during tenth grade asking typical questions including names of spirits contacting us—we got names Aiden & Hannah both suggested before birth—neither knew anything about those names before learning them later on!
Story 9:
One time alone at home hearing what sounded like tons dishes crashing from kitchen cupboards—we exchanged looks then rushed over only finding nothing broken!
We opened every cupboard searching for shattered plates yet everything remained intact—it always leaves us puzzled thinking back on that moment.
