I Bought Bracelet With 15 Gems And 15 Turtles For $5 In Canada
I've worn it 24/7, never take it off even when I sleep. Now I found the same bead on my floor, thought "oh no, my bracelet broke" but nope, it's perfectly fine, no crack or hole whatsoever. No one could drop this bead. It must be aliens.

Had the same amount of wear. I was floored, I had to sit down at the absurdity of it. I hesitated sharing, no one will believe. Promise you this is true. I can't understand.

Live alone, no kids, no guests. I cleaned the mirror when it got dusty, no way I’ve missed it. I'm renting, but changed the locks a few days before. Skull is just decoration.

#16 The Mystery Of The Multiplying House

The Mystery Of The Multiplying House
So my large family and I moved into our forever home 3.5 years ago. From the day we moved in things have been multiplying. Usually just doubles but sometimes triples of something. It started with a pair of Lucy and yak dungarees. (We are a family of 8 and these would be expensive clothing for me so definitely only had one set) a friend asked to borrow them soon after so I pulled out the tied bin bag from the roof space with them in and opened it to find two of the exact same pair. To make it stranger there was the exact tear inside both pockets.

A couple of weeks later my son who is the only one in the house with a certain PE kit found a full second set in the same size. Jacket, t shirt and tracksuit bottoms just in his wardrobe folded with the rest of his uniform. A month later it happened again, putting him upto 3 full sets all in his size! The kids began joking that we had a ghost that multiplied clothing and maybe if we left some money in the wardrobe it would multiply too they tested this but no such luck. Over the past few years this has continued happening. We have mostly had doubles and triples of clothing, but it has also happened with toys that are years old, shoes, books, coats, even food! This morning I am packing for a family holiday.

Two days ago I bought my son a new t-shirt. So it is brand new, never been bought before, definitely only bought one, never worn yet. I was checking his bag was properly packed and lo and behold there folded neatly at opposite ends of the case were two of the exact same shirt. Why does this keep happening?

I Was Pulling Clothes Out Of Dryer. Folded My Black Leggings I've Had For 10 Years Up, Put In Basket
Halfway through folding up my clothes, I find the exact same leggings out of the dryer a second time and freeze, wondering. I am mortified. I know I never bought two. Both have the same elastic pattern at the ankle.
