63 Stories People Rarely Share Because They Sound Too Strange To Be Real

I saw ‘Return of the Jedi’ at The Prune Valley Mall theater three times in less than 36 hours. First was when Dad picked us up at school at 10am to take us to see the 11am showing. Dad dropped us back off at school before it got out for the day. Second was when Mom picked us up when school got out and we AGAIN saw it. this time the 5pm viewing at Prune Valley Mall. Third time was the next day with my Brownie troop. As far as I know, Dad never found out. I told Mom when I was 17. What can I say, divorced parents in the pre-cell phone era was a BEAUTIFUL thing.

I(a pedestrian) was hit by a car driven by a trauma doctor on their way home from work going 65-70kmh and I can still walk (obviously there is some pain but I walk lol) talk and look after myself.

Many years ago I was travelling overseas on my own and trying to find my hostel in a very sketchy part of town in an Asian country. My phone ran out and I was so afraid and alone that I sat down and started to tear up, just so overwhelmed. A lot of things had happened on that holiday and this was the last straw. A couple of minutes later a very clean cut looking American couple came up to me and asked me if I needed help. I explained my situation to them and they gave me directions to the hostel, some snacks and were just so kind to me. When we parted, I offered them some money and they refused. I asked them what they were doing in such a bad part of town and one of them replied "God sent us to you. He wants you to be safe" as they both walked off down the street and out of view.

When I was a kid and I played Warhammer, a watched a guy roll five 6s off of six dice. Someone around the table said I bet you can’t do that again, and he rolled five 6s off six dice a second time.

I live on the southern Oregon coast. Last year around this time, I was sitting at a pull out overlooking the ocean. It was a beautiful day out. There was a fog bank over the horizon out in the ocean.
All of the sudden I see a stream of black smoke... barely above the fog bank. Thought that was weird so I kept watching. Saw more black smoke. The fog lightened in one spot just a tiny bit and I saw a LONG row of GIANT GIANT GIANT ships.. they were bigger then a cruise ship.
The fog got thicker and the ships were no longer viable. I have asked SO many people about it and no one saw what I saw.

I can't look at fog the same.
It drives me insane that i can't find proof of it anywhere. I know what I saw. I know how big they were. I have so many questions.

Like, is that why there is always a fog bank over the ocean? So that people can hide what they are doing?

Saw a black triangle ufo with a witness. Passed directly over our heads at treetop height. Very slowly, completely silent. They’re real and “anti-gravity” propulsion or whatever you’d like to define it as exists.

In the 70’s, before all the drivers had motor homes at the race tracks, I peed with Mario Andretti. Just the 2 of us in a glorified track outhouse. No words were spoken, just ‘the nod’.

My sister got a ticket as a passenger for 'interfering with driver' on a windy road as a teen.She actually had to go to court for it.The cop who pulled her over also demanded to know if the library books inside were overdue! LOL The 70s!

Hit 2 deer, in 2 states, in 2 different cars, in 1 night.

I guess when John Malkovich came to our bakery. He’d apparently come before, but I doubt he ever returned after the time I was there when he came. A customer forced him to let him pay for his pastry even though he’d rejected it, and then used the fact that he paid for the pastry to obligate him into an ussie with him. If that wasn’t enough, my heavily pregnant coworker returned from her break as he was leaving, and hobble ran after him waving a giant red sharpie and a spare envelope she found shouting for an autograph. Yeah, I doubt he ever came back.

In winter 2023, my family lived in a small town. My mum and I walked across the street to a store, and I stood outside with our dog. While waiting, a man came out and my dog jumped on him (very friendly, he just got overexcited). The man was very gracious about it, he had a Scottish accent and said something like "ooooohhh what a naughty dog" in a joking way. I apologised, we said bye and moved on.

My mum came out of the store and said the employees freaked out because Alan Cumming (who they recognised from Spy Kids) was just there, and he was the customer immediately in front of her.

I hadn't watched Spy Kids since I was little, and I'm truly terrible at recognising faces, so I had no idea who I was talking to lol.

My mum told me to keep quiet about it until after whatever was being filmed had been released.

My young son was fishing in the Outer Banks around dusk and hooked a baby shark. Together we got it unhooked and I waded out in the ocean and set it free. Two days later my husband and I are walking along the shore and I found a big, black shark’s tooth! I decided it was a gift from the mama shark.

I grew up and was a boy scout in 70s

Towards 1990 in college i visited my dad on assignment in Peshawar Pakistan.
I play one round of golf there. I met a few kids/older kid as caddies. They liked my college hat and told me a guy during a US military manuever flew into there with the same hat. Said a name.

My dad and I were shocked as I had been in boy scouts with a kid who was son of pilot by same name.

I was originally thinking small world BS…. I went back home and asked and he confirmed he was there.

I actually ran over a turkey on Thanksgiving. No way to avoid it and I was upset over the poor thing but...timing!

I used to deliver pizzas. One day, I was filling in for our other driver and took a pizza to a house that ordered every week. I knocked on the door and a woman in totally see through lingerie answered the and was very obviously disappointed to see me.

The ghost that would move things in our old house. My poor son told his therapist and she looked at us like we were nuts for believing him.

Mine isn’t as impressive as some of the other stories here

I’ve always been a fan of true crime and as a teenager I remember watching a document on Cary Stayner and the crimes he committed in Yosemite National Park.

About 10 years later my partner and I were going to be passing through Yosemite National Park and I wanted to stay at Cedar Lodge (no disrespect to the victims of his horrendous crimes).

I remembered in the documentary I watched that he gained access to the room by telling them there was a leak in the bathroom and was telling my partner this in the way and what had happened.

When we got to Cedar Lodge it already had the most airy strange feeling about it, we checked in and got into our room and within about 15 minutes the handyman knocked on our door, I answered it and when he said he needed to check our bathroom because there was a leak - I ran! I was in my PJs but there was no way I was staying in that room with him in there.

I’m not sure if it was a coincidence and maybe the hotel is prone to leaks in their bathroom or what it was.. I didn’t want to stay in the room long enough to find out.

I didn’t sleep a wink that night and as beautiful as Yosemite is, I was happy to leave the next day!

I swear people think it’s my imagination running wild everyone I relay that story but lucky my partner was there as a witness!

Back in 1971 I was living in Cincinnati. I had easy access to Reds tickets, which I took advantage of. I saw the big three play. They were great.

Anyway, one night, after a late game a friend and I were walking through downtown to get to our car. The street was practically deserted but I noticed a man in a white suit standing in front of a very nice hotel. Then as we got closer I saw his white hair.

Approaching him we were in conversation so I paid the man in white no more attention.

As we passed him he said to us "Hello Boys". We were startled and looked at him and the Man In White turned out to be Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame.

We were startled and in a hurry so we did not stop to chat. Mores the pitty. I want his recipe.

I sat next to Natalie Wood in the next stall in the bathroom where I used to work at a law firm. She flushed the toilet and then ran out of the bathroom without washing her hands.

I saw a meteorite. People think I'm lying. It was at least in the news.
