67 Things People Saw Once And Have Been Thinking About Ever Since

Many things. The one story that sits at the top is, after my mom passed, the week of the service, my father came into town for it. My mom despised him. Within the first hour of him in our house, the furnace started clicking on and off (never happened before that day) and a lightbulb broke in a lamp, not went out, broke...at the base where it connects to the metal screw it in (something that never happened before or since in my life). She did NOT want him in her house lol

Another really good one was the time I lived across from the cemetery for about a year. Odd stuff was always going down at the witching hour in that apartment but the most unexplainable by far would be the time someone or something tried to open my front door. My dad and I were sitting in the living room talking when the door handle just started turning back and forth, aggressively. Luckily the deadbolt was closed. But my dad got up slowly after it stopped to check the peep hole, he told me it was completely black, no light coming through. Which didn’t make any sense because the porch light was on. To which I slowly turned to look out the slider, where we can see the steps, to see a large man’s shadow very clearly standing outside our door. That’s when it made sense as to why my dad couldn’t see any light through the peep.

There was obviously nobody there. But the last strange piece of the puzzle was that we couldn’t figure out why the porch light shut off, it was automatic and didn’t even have a switch. I took the bulb out, screwed it back in, and it came right back to life. We moved shortly after that incident.

Right at that exact moment when he and I came to the same conclusion, the porch light abruptly SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY and we lose track of whoever was outside. We wait a few minutes before my now armed father slowly opened the door to get the lay of the land, as we poked our heads over the railing of the lanai and couldn’t see anybody outside the door anymore.

I was lying on the couch in the basement and something started to feel…not right. The TV was playing country music and something in the next room over started singing along in the dark. It sounded exactly like my little sister’s Furby.

When I was about 12, I was in the car with my mom driving over a bridge and when I looked out my window, I saw this thing flying above the river with a few weird looking lights that went around it and it was coming straight at the bridge where we were. I was so freaked out I couldn’t speak and I started panickly backing myself up to the other side of the car thinking it was gonna hit the bridge bcuz it was right there about to, but then it just kinda hovered for about 30seconds and then was gone

Ion even know if I should say it but as a kid I was shoveling outside and no lie I seen a blue light beam over my house and it made a blipping sound and literally that was it. Nothing more nothing less. But what confirmed I wasn’t dreaming is that I looked to my left and my brother had the same reaction I did. We ran in the house and literally never spoke of it again

Another situation was crazy my uncle passed in 2016 he was always a big kid, he loved joking and playing. So one night I was laying in the bed and someone kept tickling my feet and removing my covers but no one was in the room with me at all. So I started yelling thinking it was my sister. She’s like girl I’m on the other side of the house. So every time I laid down it kept happening. When I got up later his obituary was by my bed im like this had to be him bro.

Creepy - the way brains look like manicotti
Otherworldly - three shadow figures drift towards me and pass through me on a mountain in Afghanistan.

There was a snake sneaked into my house. Me and my sisters were trying to shoo it out of the house but it kept on insisting to stay in the bathroom. And so i sprayed Bathrooms cleaner and it went down into the hole in the bathroom and i closed the lit. Then i go about my day and go to work, and just when i was about to go back home after work, right in front my work place, there's a snake the look similar like the ones that gotten into the house.. I still don't understand how the snake found me

Exeter RI there was a mental institution for kids called the Ladd School.. abandoned for years me and my buddies at 4am decided break in.. one buddy brought his lil sister but she was too scared so she stayed outside. Inside after a while we heard loud banging loud, one buddy heard a whisper in his ear, another captured a silhouette of a kid on his camera. then we came outside to the lil sister white as hell & asked her what’s wrong. She saw a kid running in the woods and a lady on the roof!!!

I was over my friend's house. Her house was haunted. When I was up in her room with some friends there was a knocking on the other side of the room, that side was facing outside. We ran down the stairs soooo fast! 🤣

When I was like 3rd or 4th grade, my great grandad passed away. I went to his funeral and later on that night we were at my aunt house. Her ceiling fan in the living room started spinning uncontrollably. My aunt said the ceiling fan hadn’t worked in years. I called me mama to come get me ! I’m SCARY ❗️

A pillow made with my grandma’s shirt was in the walk-in closet on a shelf. One day I opened the closet door, stepped inside the closet, and it randomly fell off the shelf, onto my head :)
Also, at our old house, our neighbour passed away. She was a nice lady and liked our young daughter. Not long after her passing, my daughter’s light would turn on randomly. Could’ve been a faulty switch (it was one of those battery operated light/switches), but it only began after our neighbour had passed.

Family owned a bridal salon in Michigan. High season for us. Walked up the stairs from the prom basement to the bridal floor to leave and you had to leave from the back to set the alarm. Turned the corner around the sales counter and those heavy wedding dresses in their plastic bags started moving. Like someone had their hands out to both sides and were pushing them to the side. I asked John, nicely, to please stop because I put in 16 hours and I wanted to go home. He did.

I was going to visit a friend about 30 years ago. She lived out near farms. A few miles before her house, I slammed on my brakes because 2 teen boys ran in front of my car to cross the road. Yeah, there actually weren’t any boys anywhere. Thank gawd nobody was behind me. So, I tell my friend this, and her parents hear me. Apparently, two boys were hit there yeeeeeears prior. Oh ffs! I was a new driver at the time, probably only 17. I was terrified to ever go back to her house.

I've got quite a few, but a good one is how I heard the word "stroke" in my mind for several days. I did not correlate it to my cat, for whom I was his favorite person, having suddenly stopped walking or talking or eating. Then when my mom said "it's almost like he's had little stroke," I realized he was reaching out to me, and I didn't hear that word after that.

Went and stayed at a historic fishing lodge in NW Ontario’s Algonquin Park region. Woke up floating above my own body and saw this 30 foot tall “thing” looming over the cabin. Woke up paralyzed and sweating, Years later I saw a random cryptid post and this was the exact thing I saw (impossible to forget the combo of antlers and backward bending legs) - it’s called a Wendigo. Back then I thought it was a bad nightmare. But not anymore cuz wtaf!

In 1969 lived in the San Fernando Valley, we used to hike in the nearby Chatsworth hills . One day some hippie girls were dancing topless on a large rock inviting us to come with them to nearby Spahn Ranch ( we were 10 years old), a few weeks later the Manson Family was arrested….

I was playing my video game one night in my room. My door was shut but not all the way. A few moments later, it opened all the way up but no one was upstairs but me. I just remember pressing pause on the game and sat on the floor for a few minutes trying to figure out what just happened.

Was on a hunting trip with my dad and grandfather when I was 14. One night we were sitting around the campfire and I kept hearing twigs and branches breaking all around the camp at night. My dad and grandpa Dont hear it till after I go to bed. I hear about it the next morning because something went crashing through the creek we were next to. Its a hunting trip so we are all armed, but we all slept with the firearms in arms reach after that.

Picked up my niece’s baby doll off her dresser and it started saying, “Mama” and wouldn’t stop. I went to turn it off and there were no batteries in it! I got so freaked out, that I made the sign of the cross on the doll’s forehead and it stopped 😳
