50 Stories From People Who Escaped Death By Pure Luck

I was stabbed in my face as a kid, was almost left in a burning classroom and was shot at on a Halloween night. Survived 7 car accidents….but this story is on to be continued

Me and cousin walking by a supposedly dry pond around the age 5-6 with no one around and wanted to cross it. When trying to do so we sunk into deep black mud to our shoulders and kept sinking. His dog heard our cries for help and ran over and let us grab his tail even tho it hurt him and pulled us out to safety

Moved out of my dads trap house in h**h school bc of his addiction & days later his house was shot up. His gf was shot in the head sitting on my bed in my old room. It was supposed to be me. RIP Abbie

my “friend” gave me 14 tequila shots after I told her I was in active severe alcohol addiction. She gave all the other girls water shots to give me the illusion we all drank the same amount. I vomited profusely and passed out for 6+ hours and she never called an ambulance. She was extremely jealous of me and it nearly k****d me. It was attempted m****r.

Almost eaten by a mountain lion walking into work in the middle of the night to cover a shift.

Totalled my truck somehow there wasn't a scratch on me

I ate a entire bag of pumpkin seeds, with the shell still on. The shells don’t entirely dissolve in your stomach acid. I felt like I was pooping out a tree

Got a ride from a stranger and he drove me around an abandoned building and wouldn’t stop. I convinced him I liked him and to come see me at work later that night. He finally took me home with expectations of seeing me later. Of course I had him escorted out when I saw him that night

I was a young college student working part time at a Kmart in Kansas City, MO.The strangest man came through my checkout line. He was very tall he was talking to himself and laughing. He had a weird body odor. He had some generic gym shoes he was claiming were on sale. I went and got the manager. He continued to talk to himself and laugh. Thank God I listened to my instincts. Come to find out that man was Kenneth McDuff. A serial k****r that had escaped

I was waitressing at red lobster. A coworker needed to leave so I finished out her last table for her. It was a young couple and a baby. They left and I quickly ran to the table and cleaned it so I could leave too! As I walked to the back of the restaurant a car drove through the red lobster and made that table and chairs I just cleaned a pancake and filled the restaurant with smoke. One minute sooner, or that family staying 4 more minutes and we’d all be messed up or gone.

When I was 8, I lived in Arizona and was friends with this neighbor girl whose dad was dating a woman obsessed with porcelain dolls. Their house was packed with them (shelves, couches, everywhere). We weren’t even allowed to breathe near them. One day I went over and my friend wasn’t home, so I asked her dad when she’d be back. He just stared at me… smiling. No words. Then he started chasing me, grinning the whole time. I bolted home, locked the door, and went back to playing video games like it was just a weird day. A few days later, we found out he’d unalived two women (including a neighbor I knew). He claimed space aliens 👽 made him do it. The dolls? All stuffed with 💊. Never saw my friend again… and the dad’s name was Robert Moody (this was in Tucson btw). You can look up the story. He finally passed away a few years ago in prison, so I finally felt comfortable sharing this story.

Went camping in Alaska with a girls group. Got hypothermia and felt all the stages of it that night until we stopped moving, talking and shivering. I woke in someone’s car with the heat on and an ambulance pulling up. How did they find us in time? A woman at the camp had a dream that the girls in our tent died of hypothermia and she came to check on us.

Had bacterial meningitis at 1 yrs old n the drs told my mom if I didn’t make it there within 15 more minutes I woulda died. Was in a coma for two weeks n only came out deaf in one ear. Consider myself very lucky and blessed.

I died 2 times on the way to the hospital because of a staph infection in my stomach and intestines.

Hit a deer going 75 in my softtop Camaro. Rolled 5-6 times and broke my neck in multiple places. There was a 1% chance I’d survive but be paralyzed from the neck down. I survived and am not paralyzed at all. I prayed to god the entire time my car was rolling. “God please save me, god please save me”

drank wayyy to much in a foreign country that i only speak a bit of the language, woke up passed out on the sidewalk and this random man helped me back to my hostel and i had lost my phone so i couldn’t do anything and i was so drunk i actually couldn’t do anything anyway. he walked me back to my hostel cause i had my room card on me and he google mapped it and helped me get back at 4:30 am. i asked him why he was helping me and he said ‘God’ so i believe God sent me a guardian angel

Caught in a riptide in Rio de Janeiro (Barra de Tijuca). Huge waves, maybe 10ft. No rest, as soon as a wave crashed and all the foam subsided, another one crashed, so was difficult to catch breath and reorient. Surfer heard me yell for help and swam 100 meters to get me.

Almost unalived during a home invasion ( I’m wasn’t the intruder). They put me in the bathroom and had the gun to my head. They let me live but sometimes I wonder if I’m still alive.

Drove down from Alaska to escape DV and slept in the mountains for a couple nights. My car broke down in the first city I came upon in Washington. If it broke down in the mountains I don't think I would've been here.

I always thought riptides were under the waves, that they would drag you under. My boyfriend and I got stuck in one and didn’t realize because we were just above water floating the whole time. We swam so hard for shore for 45 minutes and would only move inches. We were so panicked trying to stay above water and were getting exhausted that we couldn’t think straight to realize to move out and to the side. For a while I thought we died and went to hell and that hell was just going to be swimming to shore for eternity and never getting anywhere. We had a small body board and we would have been dead without it. We were in the ocean with no lifeguards. Eventually we got pushed out and over enough that we were out of the tide and we made it back to shore after another 20 minutes of trying to swim exhausted. I will never ever underestimate the power of the ocean again. Only once we were out of fight mode did we realize we should have treated it like a riptide from the get.
