“One Of The Most Terrifying Experiences”: Things People Swear They've Seen But Nobody Believes Them

Not me, but my not quite 3 years old daughter. For a solid week in 1985 she kept talking about the angel at the end of her bed. Quite frankly, it freaked me the f**k out!

The following Friday we had a house fire and she died in her bed.

Babysitting my brother's one year old twins. Both have a couple of words but not anything close to a sentence - ‘mum’, ’dad’, ‘cow’, ‘hi’, sort of thing. One of the kids grabbed my phone off the floor and I asked for it back. He said ‘would you like your phone back’ pretty perfectly. I said yes please and he handed it me. No one believes me.

Ive had my sight shift in a forest.

One moment I was sitting peacefully with my bf enjoying my surroundings, the next the forest was crawling with life, like the noises of a lively gathering, with see through beings crawling all over. It was just a split second, but reminded me of the stories of dryads and fey in general.

And while my sight shifted back when my bf started talking to me,that’s not where the experience ended.

The next 15 minutes we heard the rustling of leaves cascade. First far away near the edge of the forest, and so closer and closer to us.. then someone would walk by us, and the leaves to the other side would rustle.

It felt like an ‘intruder alert’ system.

This happened with several bypassers.

That was one of the most memorable days Ive ever had in the forest. Like I was accidentally part of another world for a moment.

A ghost while at a bar, the bartender actually saw my reaction and told me there has been multiple reports of the sighting.

2012 I lived in the midwest near an Air Force base. I delivered newspapers in the early morning hours to make extra money. 4 o'clock one morning a drone starts shadowing me on my route. Not a tiny drone like today, this f****r was big and it was way up in the air. I saw it through my sunroof. I could hear it humming. It followed me for blocks. I got out of my car to make a porch delivery and looked up at it and it flew off. Still creeps me out.

I saw about 6 or 7 whooping cranes fly over me in NE Montana. I heard them first and thought they were strange sounding sandhill cranes, but their white color and red markings on some of them distinguished them. I’m a birder and biologist so I am confident that what they were. I found out one of their migratory routes indeed brings them over NE Montana.

I was driving down a long stretch of road around 12-1am on either side just short grass and metal fences. I saw a man in a suit with a suit case walking the opposite way I was driving. Thinking how odd this was I looked in my rear view mirror and poof no man. He vanished with no where to hide. I’m 99% sure I saw a ghost.

I saw the ghost of a keyboardist friend about 6 months after he passed in 2019, sitting in the tour bus waiting for the show. I saw him in the reflection of the window, when I looked at the seat he wasn't there. When I looked back at the window, he was gone. Try to explain that to the rest of the band.

An entirely white owl. In Brazil, Atlantic Forest. Arriving home 3am. Live just beside a closed forest area.


The owl was on the sidewalk. Stop to photograph but it flew away.


Probably albino ou leucistic. Never saw it again.
