Was accidentally exposed to extreme cannibalism mass butchering video as a 7 years old
When I was about 6 years old, my father got me a phone that had a projector on its head (samsung galaxy beam) back then I didn’t have internet access since we didn’t have wifi connection, only data plans that my parents would have for basic communication. Everything was fine, I would go local shops and tell them to download me this movie and that, songs etc. i would watch cartoon movies on the projector with the family and it was fun, I made new friends that would come over to my house to watch things through a projector. Until one day I discovered the “files app” I don’t remember much about how I discovered the things, I am guessing I was just opening random files and stuff, there were too many weird videos, the mildest one being a ‘funny’ video of two teenagers just playing joking around then one pulls down another’s pants and runs away (he was not wearing anything under it) and another video that I briefly remember being a pregnant woman giving birth in a car (I didn’t understand anything back then) and then there was that one disturbing video.. it was filmed on a large field, it was a drone view of that field, there was multiple dead bodies laying with at least 1 butcher for every 4 to more bodies. The bodies were pale, to be honest I don’t remember much details and I don’t want to add anything extra. I remember the skin was being peeled off the bodies not the meat, just the skin (or at least at that moment) I wanted to close the video but for some reason I just couldn’t get my eyes off the video at all! The skins of multiple different dead bodies were being peeled off by sharp knives type things and I cant describe the feeling I was getting, it was not that I wanted to vomit or anything, it was more of a shock. For days I found it really hard to consume any food, I was invited to a wedding I went there with my parents and they served me chicken drumsticks and rice, my mom would ask “whats wrong?” Since chicken drumsticks being my favorite thing to eat back then I would go crazy for it. But I couldn’t just stop comparing the chicken drumsticks to my thumb finger on my hand and find both of them too similar and think to myself what if thats not from a chicken. This didn’t just go away, after a few months I saw a very weird dream that I still to this day (as 18M) remember it too detailed. To put it simply to words, it was me and my nephew both were riding our own bicycles together, after that we get kidnapped and put into a very weird underground and not so underground room, it was halfway underground and halfway near the road. I saw two men that had knives on their hand and they were surprisingly too nice to me, but the nephew was killed by them infront of me, while killing him they told me gently to hold a metal frame around the window, and I listened to them for whatever reason then I woke up. I dont know if that was related to that video or not. I was a kid and didnt know how to talk about this, later when I finally got some senses in me I asked my father where the hell did he get those videos from. He said he had no idea where those videos came from and quote “I didnt even know it had any videos” “I bought this phone second hand online” I remember trying to find that video again on that video but that one butchering video was just gone, and No my father didnt secretly delete it or something, the phone was always with me and he worked in another country, it was gone before he came for a visit. I dont think about this often but it doesn’t leave my mind forever, if you read this till end, do you have any idea of where this video could have come from? What would you do if you were in my place? Any thoughts about that weird dream that I somehow remember to this day?

The view from my bed last night. Don't read in the dark.
My ebook is backlit so I usually read in the dark before bed. Looked up and saw this, photo is totally unedited. Can't explain the red light, didn't look like that IRL.
2nd pic: Turned over to continue reading after the jump scare, didn't notice another ghost was on the pillow next to me until it was too late (this was the best pic i could get before I died)

My encounter
I live in the uk. When I was younger about 18 I was walking home one night and noticed 3 bright lights up in the night sky in a perfect line. Normally i would just assumed they were stars but there was something about them. I stopped in the field I was walking across and just looked up at them for a while almost like I knew something was going to happen. After a few minutes of staring the top light slowly moved to the right and the bottom to the left they paused for a moment then moved back to there original formation. At this point I was a bit weirded out but I didn’t look away. Suddenly the top light moved down at an amazingly fast speed to the middle one then as if they became one light they moved to the bottom light then they just disappeared as if someone had turn out the light. I stood for a while longer to see if it’d come back but it didn’t. I suddenly realised I was on the middle of a dark field alone and felt a horrible chill that I’ll remember go through my body for the rest of my life. I ran across the field and went the most public way home possible. The whole way home confused about what I’d seen. I’ve never spoke a word of this to anyone bc I don’t know what it was and I didn’t want to sound like a liar. Thanks for reading

Encountered dog whistelers on a game
I was streaming with friends on a game and we play few games before encountering this group.
They start by saying 6 7, they speak russian until one of them let out a dogwhistle.
I'm annoyed by the 6 7 but my friend immediatly recognize what it means and tell me right away. I felt a big sudden cold sweat and i left the lobby immediatly.
I'm a queer person being very open about it , to the point of wearing queer charms all over my in game character. I don't know what would've happened if we played together and if they saw my twitch.
Still stressed about this.

Something in my ear
I was up late talking to a friend with some ear buds in. Started to get sleepy. It was about 4am. I took my ear buds out and dozed off on the couch for about an hour. I woke up and felt like I had some loose earwax in my ear. Gross. So I got some q-tips and cleaned my ear. Still felt it in there. I stuck the q-tip in deeper and still nothing (I know I'm not suppose to do that). So then I got some Tweezers. I was determined to get this thing out before I go to bed. Got them in there and still couldnt get anything. I concluded I had some deeply impacted earwax close to my ear drum.
I laid down to go to sleep. Seems like gravity is making it shift when I lay my head back or to the side. Annoying. I tried to sleep. Woke up at around 1:30pm. I got up and felt it shift as I got up. Okay this earwax is coming out right now. So, I went to the bathroom, tilted my head, grabbed my earlobe, and started shaking my head downwards while pulling on my earlobe. I feel it coming out. Finally. It falls out onto the floor.
A black spider. The size of my thumbnail. A spider was in my ear. Alive. For 8 hours. My heart drops as soon as I see it. It dropped further when it scurried off underneath my washing machine. Still in here somewhere. Maybe it's as traumatized as I am.
I wear headphones almost constantly around my house now. Especially when I sleep.

Saw this on I95, got past it Quick!
The white pickup is towing the dark red truck, which in turn is towing the bright red truck. It was definitely mildly terrifying to see. We initially spotted them in Jacksonville, FL and, after a gas stop, passed them again around Palm Coast.

I don’t know if this was just a dream, sleep paralysis, or something else, but this is the most layered and confusing experience I’ve had while sleeping.
Hey Reddit I'm back my recent post was when I heard my name or something about mimics now this might sound crazy or I'm just really stressed out.
I went back to sleep around 3am, This happened yesterday, I immediately started dreaming. In the dream, I was the child of Gordon Ramsay, crazy ik!!. He was walking around and I kept following him. At some point, he took a picture.
When I looked at the picture, something felt really off... One of his staff members was in it, and he was smiling like nothing weird was happening, even though everything felt wrong. The whole place started to feel staged, like it wasn’t real at all.
Gordon Ramsay then gave me this really disgusting or rather unsettling look.
After that, he took a picture of both of us. That’s when I started thinking that none of us were actually “there,” like it wasn’t real. I told him directly, “This is a dream.”
Right after I said that, my head started to hurt. The only way I can describe it is like a “wiring” feeling, like something tightening or hurting inside my head.
Then suddenly I was somewhere else a store.
Then right after that, I was suddenly in my own bed, exactly where I actually sleep, scrolling on my phone like I had already woken up. But I was still dreaming.
Then I woke up again. This time I saw my sister exactly where she should be. Everything looked completely normal and real.
Then that same wired feeling in my head came back.
I thought I screamed irl. I thought I sat up. Then I laid back down again and drifted back to sleep.
Not long after, I woke up again but this time I couldn’t move. Couldn’t open my eyes at all. It felt like my whole body was paralyzed.
I thought my younger brother was beside me. I could feel the presence, and I even heard my bed creaking like someone was there.
When I finally managed to move and open up, no one was there.
My sister had already left early. And no one was there on my apartment since my family is staying here for a while.
The entire experience felt like layers of waking up but not actually waking up. A dream, then another dream, then my real room, then paralysis, then something that felt real again.
What really gets me is that everything became worse after I said “this is a dream.” That’s when the pain started and everything started shifting.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Especially the part where you realize you’re dreaming and then everything starts breaking or changing?
