A 7' long shark in the Puget Sound, right at the surface.
I was fishing with my siblings and my mom, and my brother was struggling to get a little dog fish in.
Well, I get this brick of a fish up, it's running towards me, than running away ... no one will look at my rod about to snap, because they're busy with the dog fish.
Well, I get this sucker up to the surface, and it gets right up along the side of our boat, a Grady White 22 at the time, and it stretches from one end of the cockpit to the other, and then some.
It was at least 7 feet long, and as soon as someone freed up to come help me, it snapped the line and just coasted away underwater. Nobody saw it but me.

I was in Italy last year, Lake Como to be exact. Sat on the shore, enjoying my ice cream whilst watching a family come in to dock with their dog on board. About 10m out, the dog jumps overboard with rope in mouth, swims the boat up to the dock, ties the rope and grabs a couple of life jackets from the jetty and hands them to the kids.

Around 2 am one night when I still lived at home I got up to walk to the garage to get a soda. I sat out there for a moment just drinking my cold beverage when I swear I heard something moving in a box or something.
I got really freaked out and walked into the darkness ahead of me to see if I could figure out what it was. I swear on my mother's life I heard what sounded like an old toy doll saying something like "I love you!" Or "howdy!" Or something to that effect. I turned around and ran as fast as I could back inside, and ever so faintly in the darkness as I turned around I thought I saw something standing there just looking at me.
Never happened again. I told my parents about it the next day and they just kinda laughed it off and said I was dreaming. I was 16 at the time so I knew what dreaming feels like, this happened in real life.

Not sure if this qualifies as my story does have another witness. My younger sister had one of those dolls whose eyes moved and it would talk, but only when you picked it and moved.
I was maybe 12 or 13, sitting in the kitchen with my mom when we hear talking coming from my sister's bedroom. She was not home at the time. We both go back and open the door and this frickin doll is sitting there, eyes moving saying "I love you" and "Let's play."
That isn't the odd part. I pick the doll up and there are no batteries in it. Tossed that possessed sucker right in the outside trash. My sister still asks about what happened to her doll.

I wasn't the only witness, but I wish I could have shared what I saw with others. I was riding with a friend on the way back to college, the landscape was about as flat as possible, with green wheatfields on all sides. The sky was dark gray, nearly black, and it was raining big drops, but there was a break in the clouds right at the horizon. The sun was going down and as it hit the break the gray clouds suddenly burst into purples, oranges, golds, and reds -- the entire sky was brilliantly colored. And in front of us was an absolutely perfect super-intense double rainbow, one complete half circle over another half circle. The whole spectacle lasted at least 15-20 minutes; it was like seeing heaven. I tried to take pictures, but I knew they wouldn't be able to capture what I was seeing properly.
