Life is full of experiences. Some are good, some are bad, and others turn into stories we love telling people. But then there are those strange moments that are so hard to explain; we often keep them to ourselves. After all, who would believe something that sounds completely made up?
Today, we came across an interesting online thread asking people, “What’s the weirdest thing you’ve experienced that you rarely tell people because you know how it sounds?” The answers were quite something. We've picked out some of the most unusual ones for you. Keep scrolling to read these strange experiences and see if you've ever had any.

When my mom passed away, I was standing in my kitchen one day and a strong breeze of her perfume went right past my face. There were no windows open.

For instance, someone who grew up in a home where arguments were common might feel nervous whenever someone raises their voice. Even an unexpected noise could remind them of something they experienced as a child.

Two nights ago, I was laying in bed with my eyes closed, thinking about my baby cat who passed away earlier this year. When I opened my eyes, a tiny green ball of light floated/disappeared into my arm. I assumed it was some weird eye thing from having them closed, but then his brother, who has missed him terribly, licked that exact spot on my arm! I think our baby visited us.

My nephew was in my car when he was about 4-5, he had a can of Doritos 3D (early 2000s). He started hitting the can and yelling, “GET OFF MY RITOS, MAN!!!” And kept hitting it. I said who are you talking to?! He said some man trying to take his chips. We pull up at my Moms house and a picture of my Grandad was sitting in a table. He pointed right to that pic and said, “ THAT’S the man that was on my Ritos!!!” He passed away the year before…

My dad was a whistler. And on his last birthday he would have been 100. I was in my tiny studio late at night on his birthday when I heard someone outside my door whistling happy birthday.

Of course, our childhood isn't the only period that shapes us. As adults, we continue collecting experiences through friendships, relationships, jobs, travel, and everyday encounters. Some teach us useful lessons. Others give us memories we'll treasure for years.

My sister and I were meeting friends in the woods and on the way there both our phones we were using as flashlights shut off and then we heard running all around us like a herd of deer were running but there was nothing there. We held each other for a good 5 minutes before it stopped and our phones turned back on and we had to have our friends come get us cuz we were NOT taking another step alone.

When I was looking for a house, I took my parents with me and was disappointed with the difference between the pics and the reality. We walked outside, mum pointed at the house opposite and said "Shame that's not on the market"...
A week later it was, and less than 2 weeks later it was mine.

My roommate’s boyfriend lost his life in a car crash my freshman year of college. A couple days after his passing, my roommate, me and another friend were all feeling his presence really strongly. We decided to use an Ouija board to try to talk to him. When we got it out and touched it the piece started flying around the board, giving us instructions to call people who might not know he was gone. He gave us names and phone numbers of multiple people. My roommate called them all, and they were all correct.

I’ve clinically lost my life and been resuscitated.
I’ve had 3 near-passing experiences following that.
I work in emergency medicine and can predict when “something bad” is about to happen in my department/with a patient/incoming ambulance.
It’s not a super power I wanted tbh.

It was a few weeks ago the most recent weird thing, my Spotify as I was chatting to my eldest was stuck on a song “Eloise.” I said out loud why has it jammed?
Carried on chatting and opened my facebook on phone and Sussex police said they found the body of a missing teen…. Eloise.
Such a rare name, we sat here shocked at what was that all about. But I listen to that song daily now to remember her soul.

So many things but the most recent is I was at an outdoor music venue, and I was admiring the night sky while listening to the music, completely sober. I looked up and in my head asked if there was anyone/thing out there to make themselves known.
In about two seconds an orb appeared way up and then disappeared. It was not a cloudy day, it was not an airplane. It was in fact, something making themselves know. No fear.

I once woke up in the middle of the night to a very deep humming vibration outside my window. When I looked out side there was a big black cloud hovering by my window. That whole week I had strange dreams with symbols and sounds and colours I can't describe. It felt like I was downloading codes or some kind of information. By the end of that week I manifested 100k through a lottery win.

When my grandmother passed away I was a hugging a stuffed animal and crying, and felt a cold but comforting hand on my face, and heard her tell me to get up. Then a week later I heard her tell me to drive by my ex fiancé’s house and found him cheating on me.

My grandma passed away before I was born. She had seen ultrasound pics of me but never got to meet me. When I was a kid I often chatted with her at night. She was there, keeping an eye on us. And I am sure she is still with me.

When I was barely pregnant with my first I was getting ready when I had this overwhelming feeling of sadness and heard this voice(?) that said “you don’t get to keep this”. That pregnancy ended up having a terminal diagnosis. I think back on that often.

Orb. Size of a softball. Winked into this reality, cruised slowly in front of me, at eye level, and then winked out of sight. I was living on the third floor.
Very calming experience.

I see fetches and ghosts trail after me. I once had a wild fox crawl into my lap while contemplating opting out of life, the fox had her kits in my lap. I took that as a sign. A year later I had a child of my own.

When I was 6, one night I refused to sleep in my bedroom because the "bad man was out there." My mom let me sleep on her floor in her room across the hall. The next day the bodies of a family were discovered unalive. Their house was a few blocks away from my house in the direction my bedroom window faced.

I have tea with my mother and grandma several days a week. It's our catch up. I pour them each a cup of tea, grandma's china, and I sit with them and listen to their wisdom.
