"I was in the work kitchen cleaning my dishes.
I put a plate on the countertop, and out of nowhere, I heard a scratching sound and saw that thing moving 4 inches at a slow but steady pace, and then it just stopped after a couple of seconds." -Reddit user Glorydays
"I saw a weird glowing ball was beside my bed. It felt like my room was warmed by sunlight coming into it. It kind of felt like a sandman or a gender-neutral angel. Then it realized I was cognizant, and it didn't like that, so it left through a door in my window. The more I reached to wake up, the farther away it was.
Finally, I was awake, and it was completely dark in my room, and I was so sad. All the warmth had gone away. I don't remember if I fell asleep again, but that whole day was so depressing. The sunshine had been taken away with it." -Reddit user PoiLethe
"I was walking on the street and saw an old man walking in my opposite direction, he was looking up at an old house, as I was walking I looked to the ground, and when I looked up again, he was gone. It was impossible for him to disappear so fast by natural means.
I got scared but continued walking pretending I didn't notice anything." -Reddit user SalzyJ
"It wasn't me, but my dad. He was working under our car while my sisters and I were playing in the house (this was years ago, by the way), and a car pulled up, playing some rap music. My dad assumes it's my older brother and greets him without looking out from under the car.
He gets out of the car and walks into the house without saying a word, and my dad just goes back to work. A few minutes later, my brother pulls up. "Hey, dad."

"I saw a guy accidentally drop a 16-inch concrete drill bit from shoulder height. It never hit the ground.
It's like it stopped existing on its way to the floor. No sound of it hitting the floor, nowhere to go, just gone." -Reddit user Procrastinare
"My grandma fell very sick with cancer. She fought and fought, but it was too much for her. For the last few months, she has been bedridden in my room. I was about 14 at the time. One night she had passed. I woke up at about 1 am with a strange feeling.
I felt a weird presence, and at that moment, I heard somebody speak. She said, "stay true," which was what she always told me. I didn't know it at the time, but she had passed away and had spoken to me, her last few ghostly words before she left to go to heaven. To this day, I still cry about it. Even while writing it." -Reddit user nic24_ryan
"I don't know how this happened, but apparently, the outer glass screen of our oven just completely fell off and shattered. Slightly terrified, I proceeded to sweep up all the glass and throw it away.
I tried explaining the situation to my parents when they got home, but they didn't believe my story and grounded me for a week because they thought I broke it." -Reddit user GoldenDude
"One night a couple of months ago, I was washing a dish in my sink when suddenly two wrinkled hands with long nails grabbed my ankles and yanked backward, hard. I dropped the dish and cried out in surprise, but the hands weren't there when I turned around.
It happened at an impossible angle unless the person was lying on their stomach behind me. No markings were left on my ankles, but I felt it for sure." -Reddit user NordyNed
"My family was sitting on the back porch watching a thunderstorm. My older brother grabbed a toy gun out of my hand and said, 'Watch this.' He pointed the gun at a tree in the backyard and pulled the trigger. As the toy gun popped, lightning struck the tree he was aiming at, and the tree fell over.
He handed me the toy gun back with a smile and walked away." -Reddit user covalcenson
"I remember falling asleep and waking up the week before — I repeated an entire week, and I have no idea what happened.
Ever since I've believed that we're in some form of the matrix or something." -Reddit user Sluggist
"I had a friend who was very sick at the hospital this past Spring (not Covid, but sepsis from an operation on his back). I went to bed, and in that in-between stage where you're not awake and not quite asleep, I could sense him standing by the side of my bed. We said a few words to each other, and then he hugged me. When I woke up the next morning, I found out that he'd passed not long after I'd gone to bed.
Many people would say it was just a dream, but I know better in my heart. I felt that he was actually there, and I felt the hug. He was one of the most caring and inspiring people that I'd known, and it was just like him to say goodbye to the people who loved him." -Reddit user UltraRunner42
"Back when I lived in my very first apartment, I would hear what sounded like a little child calling for their parent. Now at first, I thought it was genuinely some kid who was lost because the complex was big enough for a kid to wander off from their parents.
But the voice seemed to always be right next to me. It wasn't until I moved out that I found out a little girl was killed by her abusive father in the 80s." -Reddit user DemandParticular
"My dad and I found a human tooth on the floor of his car...no one in my family had lost any teeth recently." -Reddit user Constant_Broccoli
"While visiting a theme park when I was younger, I ran into a dude who looked just like me.
He warned me that I would lose my money that day and to watch my pockets. Later the same day, I noticed my money had fallen out of my pocket, but luckily it was on the ground nearby." -Reddit user deleted
"I was in my room alone. I heard some shuffling-type noises from my closet and thought it was just the house because the AC needed to be fixed. Then I heard someone whisper my name.
No one was home. I was the only person there." -Reddit user UltimateXChoco
