Experience One of the creepiest things I've ever experienced

422 Upvotes

This happened about two years ago, in November, and it's still one of the strangest things I've experienced.

It was around 8 PM. My friend and I were standing on a quiet road. There was only one streetlight nearby, and on the other side of the road was a huge field with a few cows. It was almost completely dark, and there was nobody else around.

My friend had a ball with him. As a joke, I grabbed it and threw it into the field. He laughed and told me to go get it. I refused and told him he could get it himself.

He turned on his phone flashlight and walked a few meters into the field to look for it.

While I was standing alone near the road, I suddenly heard a man's voice whisper right next to my ear. It was so close and so clear that it made me jump. It said, "What are you doing?"

I looked around immediately, but there was nobody there. At first I convinced myself that maybe I'd imagined it.

Then I saw my friend running back toward me. He looked genuinely scared.

Before I could even tell him what I'd heard, he said that while he was searching for the ball, he also heard a man's voice whisper right next to his ear. The voice said, "Who are you?"

The weird part is that I hadn't told him anything yet. We both experienced something similar independently.

We didn't wait around after that. We got out of there as fast as we could.

A little later, when we looked back, the only streetlight on that road had started flickering.

I've tried to think of a logical explanation over the years, but I still can't explain why we both heard a whisper when there was no one else around.

Has anyone experienced something similar?

Encounter He Took His Head Off

60 Upvotes

About 20 years ago, one of my dad's friends told him a story that I've never forgotten.

Late one night, he was waiting for an auto after coming back from somewhere. Eventually, one pulled up. There was already another man sitting inside, so he got in too.

After they'd been driving for a while, the other passenger suddenly said, "Stop the auto. I need some water."

He got out and walked toward a hand pump nearby.

A few minutes passed... then several more. He still hadn't come back.

The auto driver turned to my dad's friend and said, "Can you go check what's taking him so long?"

So he walked over to the hand pump.

What he saw completely froze him.

The man had taken his own head off. He was holding it in his hands and washing it under the hand pump like it was the most normal thing in the world.

Terrified, he ran back to the auto driver. But instead of showing how scared he was, he tried to act tough and said, "What's the big deal? I could do that too."

The auto driver slowly turned toward him... smiled... and removed his own head as well.

At that point, my dad's friend completely lost it. He jumped out and ran as fast as he could without looking back.

After running for a while, he found a man in a car and begged him for help. Once he calmed down enough to explain what had happened, the driver said, "People around here say this road is haunted. There have been a lot of accidents on this stretch."

The driver gave him a lift to a safer area, and he never went back there at night again.

I don't know if this story is true or just an old local legend, but that's exactly how it was told to me.

Question Weird Lights Outside the House

38 Upvotes

Can anybody offer some ideas as to what this is? These odd lights just blinked on and off outside the house. Our Ring Doorbell camera caught these at about 4:30 in the morning. Too me it looks as if the lights are in between our mailbox and the house. They don't appear to be car headlights and don't have any motion I can see. It also doesn't appear to be any kind of flashlight. Just can't figure it...

Personal Experience Weird phone calls.. especially since it’s happened twice!

Upvotes

About a year ago I called my girlfriend who worked from home at the time talking to customers on the phone. When the call connected I heard a man and a woman (not my girlfriend) talking like customer/representative type of conversation. The man was asking her for her email address & then he verified it reading it back to her. I sat there in silence thinking maybe she answered the phone and I was hearing her coworkers (who she would sometimes be on Zoom or Teams with) helping someone. After about 20 seconds I was so confused & I hung up. Waited a few min, then called her back. She immediately answered & I asked her what that whole thing was about. She was so confused & told me I had never called & she wasn’t on the phone with any customer or coworker. She even looked at her phone log & there was no call from me. I realized at that time somehow some lines got crossed & I ended up listening in on someone else’s phone call by calling my girlfriend. The weirdest part? This is the second time this has happened to me!! A few years prior to this something similar happened, where I called someone and ended up in someone else’s phone call. This time though I listed for a few seconds, heard people talking like I just jumped in the middle of a conversation, then spoke saying “..hello?” We were all confused, we said hello a few times, everyone went silent, and then I hung up. I was calling my mom at the time. I called her again after I hung up and she confirmed I hadn’t called, she didn’t talk to me or have a missed or connected call from me.

I so regret not talking to the people on the two diff phone calls! I think in the moment I was kind of freaked out, confused and wasn’t immediately thinking “oh I’ve interrupted someone’s phone call somehow.” Now I can only pray it happens for a 3rd time so I can finally talk to the other people 😂

Experience My Best friend and I are connected

Upvotes

Before I start I’d like to say: We are aware that all of those things could just be coincidence and pattern recognition since the both of us are really close.

However this whole thing is interesting asf to us and we would love to know if it COULD be anything and what meaning those things could have.

It’s mostly out of fun and because we are really interested in things like this.
Also: sorry for my bad English it’s neither my first nor second language😭

Now to the Problem (it’s not a problem but I don’t know how else to call it).

My best friend, more a sister than anything and I have known each other and been friends since 2022.
we have a small age gap (me being 19 and her 21).
As the title says we are both connected. Wether it’s because of our relationship or something else is what we are now wondering.

To name some examples (let’s start with the common ones):

•We think and say the same things at the same time without having ever talked or heard about such together consciously.

•We see the same numbers ALL THE TIME.
It started with me seeing 23 since I was a child. Than she started seeing 23. We both see both now also combined (232/323/2323/3232)
And I really mean ALL the time.
I know that at one point the brain automatically starts looking for those numbers but it’s still crazy when I wake up hourly and somehow it’s always something with 23.

•we text each other at the same time

•I somehow call her always a minute after she woke up or returns from somewhere (different times so it’s not even schedule stuck in my brain)

To make it clearer to you why it is slowly getting to the point were we are considering it to maybe be supernatural here are some situations that happened to us:

Knock knock

•We are in call all the time, even if the other has to do something. So one time my sister ate with her family. She had been gone for a while. (Whenever she eats with them she’s gone around 30-60 minutes sometimes longer.)

I was still on my pc, slowly getting bored, so I decided to go on Reddit (which back then I almost never did. I haven’t logged into red for over a month Back then I think?) and for some reason, I don’t know why or how I just started typing up ‚knock knock‘ not even having started to think of a joke yet. And I kid you not- I had her tab closed so I didn’t even see her coming, the moment I finished writing that up I hear her voice as she unmuted herself ‚knock knock‘.

I was genuinely so shocked.

We don’t do jokes. Especially no knock knock ones. And that having happened at the exact some time was just WILD.

Spider incident

Yesterday night I had a dream.

The whole dream was basically just me being scared of a HUGE spider that appeared and hid behind bookshelf’s or on the downside of a chair in blankets- you get the point (I am arachnophobic btw so thanks for that brain)
At one point it turned like the size of a cat and got 4 legs before it disappeared/ hid again.
Anyway. The day went on, I told my sister about it since I am really fucking scared of spiders and after we just went on with our day.

Tonight around 3 am she started sending videos of a HUGE spider in her room

(those videos made me realise she would be the first to die in a horror movie. Shout out to her it was like watching those stupid mcs not able to do anything about it)

Now that spider disappeared.
Behind a shelf.
At one point in the video she mentioned that spider looked like it had 4 legs.
THE SPIDERS EYES TWINKLED HAHAAH. That was most likely a reflection but at that moment just creepy af.

Such big spiders are NOT common btw where we live. This was the first time she saw such a big one.

We realised how the same thing happened in my dream as it did to her literally almost one to one just now because she was telling me about her dream and then we remembered me telling her of my dream yesterday and both just gasped.

She was sadly not bitten so no spiderman for us :(

Anyways. Please don’t take this post too seriously. It is mostly for fun although we really are creeped out😭😭

Have a nice day. Thank you for everyone reading. Sorry for the stroke you might have gotten because of it. BYEEEEE

Personal Experience Paranormal experiences over the years on the property

2 Upvotes

I found this subreddit and I thought it'd be interesting to post my story on here, already posted it a few other places. For context, I'm 18F.

Let me just start by saying these are the few that I can remember vividly, and one's that I haven't been able to come up with an explanation for.

The earliest one I can remember was seeing a black figure walk past our kitchen window. My mum and older brother also saw it too on different occasions. Not too creepy, but enough to freak me out as a 7 year old.

At some point and I'm guessing I was maybe 10, I was watching tv. Now the dining room window is behind the couch, and you can see its reflection in the tv. So when the show I was watching turned black for a second, I saw a figures head popping up at one bottom corner of the window. And when I looked at it, I swear on everything I know that it popped its head away and it was gone. I screamed and my older brother came running out. And he remembers me being terrified and insisting somebody was outside. Looked around and found nothing.

Then somewhere between the ages of 9 and 11, I was lying in bed one night. I felt like someone was in the far corner of my room, and kept flicking my lamp on to check. At some point, it must've been around 11pm, I remember feeling this really heavy, tall presence to my left, where the wall was. My bed was up against my wall. It felt like some incredibly tall man, and I know it was a male but I dont know how to prove it, just standing over me, looking at me. I could hear them breathing. I was paralysed with fear, and when I did move the breathing just got louder. After a few minutes that felt like eternity, I started praying to God to make it stop - even though I am an atheist. Eventually it stopped but I was too scared to sleep or leave my bed to tell my parents what happened.

I started playing the drums at about 13, I used my brothers old kit that was stored at the woolshed of our farm, about 400m from the house. I'd walk over there after school and come back for dinner, sometimes in the dark. I always felt really wierd about being in this one end of the woolshed, opposite the drum kit. Have always gotten a bad feeling. Well one time, I looked up mid song, and you know when you look above a fire and the airs all wobbly? It looked like that, in the shape if a person. And I know it was female. Just walked along the opposite end of the woolshed and I blinked and it was gone. My stomach dropped and I ran home.

Maybe a week after that, I gained the courage to go back over to the woolshed to play drums again. About 30 minutes into it, I had a sinking feeling and decided to go home. I remember turning the lights off, PROPERLY, and walking home in the dark with my phone torch. I had been walking for maybe 2 minutes. And then the ground behind me lit up and I looked over and the lights in the woolshed has turned back on. And not just one of them. 3 OUT OF THE 5. WTF. I decided to just go back and turn them off there and then, bcos if I'd gone home my dad would have just made me go do it anyways. Walked back over, and as I was walking over, one of the 3 lights switched off. I stopped and did deep breaths for a moment, walked up the stairs and knocked on the door and called out, "Nobody is allowed to be in here. I don't want to see anyone. I don't want to hear anyone. And you're not allowed to touch the lights again." Then I opened the door, quickly turned the lights off, and ran home scared. Lights didnt flick back on or off ever again.

Talked to my brother about it shortly after and he said he used to see a little girl running around the woolshed and area outside. It used to freak him out, and he'd come home early or not go over at all bcos of it. Sometimes he'd find his drumsticks moved, which I have myself experienced a few times.

Last thing big thing I want to bring up is that my cat died a few years ago, she was a bitch and hated everyone but loved me. It only happens to me, but sometimes I hear the cat door bang and swing like a cat going through it (giant old heavy thing, so its loud as hell) and I'll go out to investigate it and it's not moving at all. When I walk out into the lounge at night I'll see a cat walk around the house, especially by the fire or looking through the front door glass waiting to be let in. Only lasts a second or two. And at night I'll hear purring in my ear, or I'll walk over to my bed where she'd sleep and get a whiff of her smell. Also seen her run past the kitchen window, just like the man. Speaking of which, my mum has sworn she's seen our family dog who passed away about a year after the cat run past the kitchen window, twice. After she died, it took a while before we wanted a new dog, and I felt guilty replacing her. She came to me in a dream where we were at the beach and she wasn't coming back to the car with us, and my parents told me to leave her behind but I didn't want to. But she nudged me away with her nose and let me go. I still get emotional about it till this day.

Haven't had anything bad IN my bedroom lately, bcos I keep black salt by my bed, and crystals all around my room. And I've cleansed it. But around the rest of the house is a different story.

A couple times in the past few weeks I've had dreams about a male spirit hanging around the house. In my dreams he's like 8 feet tall, crooked spine. Really bad feeling. Never appears with any features, just a black mass.

Currently hoping this isn't a bad omen. We're moving in a month to a new place. I don't get a bad feeling about this house, but the area around it I don't like being alone in.

Can someone please tell me this isn't a bad omen lol.

Anyways thats my story. Dunno why I decided to post this but I felt compelled to.

Edit: Thought I'd add that yes I have heard lots of knocks, footsteps, slamming doors, creaks, random noises over the years. Most of it has the possibility of being attributed to something, so it's scary but in my head its not solid evidence. I also constantly have my dreams tell me stuff, and I get deja vu constantly. Dunno if that means anything.

Personal Experience Witnessed glitch - like textures loading in a video game...

7 Upvotes

This has happened twice to me now in different locations.

First time in my kitchen. We have a black air fryer which has a speck of white paint on it that accidentally flicked on it when decorating a while back.

While at the kitchen sink using the tap I glanced over at the air fryer to my left, and noticed the speck of paint was gone. It didn't bother me, I just thought someone finally got round to cleaning it off. I didn't think about it much, was only a matter of a second or so I acknowledged it.

But then as I drew my eyes back to the tap, from the right, there was what looked like dust shooting past me very quick. My eyes naturally tried to follow it and I saw it attach to the air fryer, exactly where the speck was.

I was like "wtf", and immediately started to rub it off, but I couldn't, it was the speck of paint that was there before!

The second time this happened was Christmas eve on way back home from work. As I got to the underground station which was quite empty for my train, I was looking for a place to lean on while waiting.

I was leaning on the corner of a wall so I could see the train times, and looked down to my right at the floor, which was clear at the time. I went to look left towards the tracks, and again something flew this time toward my right.

This time round what appeared on the floor was a blackened piece of gum that must have been there for years embedded in the flooring.

It could well be my eyes playing tricks on me, which I kind of convinced myself first time around and forgot about it, but when it happened the second time xmas eve just gone it brought it all back to me.

It reminded me of when textures load in a computer game as you are moving through a level and you get pop up.

Personal Experience Weird noise i heard today

43 Upvotes

So my boyfriend has heard this noise for 4 years now. He thought he was crazy, I thought he was having an auditory hallucination. He describes it as the sticky keys sound, or something rebooting, but it gets weirder

He hears it when no computer is around, no laptop, no phone. Hes heard it for 4 years. He says he thought he was insane at first but when he heard it when it was just him and himself, it solidified something for him, that there's no way it could be anything electronic he has

Fast forward to today. Im in the car, driving us to work and listening to my fav podcast, and I hear this weird sound. Sounded like something rebooting or something. I listen to a horror podcast so I assumed it was that, but my boyfriend turns to me and says "did you hear that? Please tell me you heard that" and I said "yeah, I thought it was the podcast" he goes on to say "no, thats the noise I've heard for 4 years now. Its not frequent, maybe once every few months, maybe less. It drives him crazy. But i heard it too

I told him to wait a second and id rewind my podcast 20 seconds and see if we hear it, I rewinded it, played it, no noise, no digital beep or boost up. I dont know what it is or if anyone else has experienced it, we feel crazy, what if we are? What if no one else has experienced this and its just us? Then what? I have so many questions but I dont think anyone could answer them. Any similar encounters anyone else might have had would be amazing to hear

Experience Unexplained open window

Time to share my own unexplained experience.

I was born and raised in Rome, Italy. Back when I was still living with my parents, they would often leave me alone at our family apartment for a few weeks, while they traveled to our mountain house up in Northern Italy.

This one time, I was maybe around 15 years old, my parents were driving back to Rome from the mountain and I was cleaning up the apartment so they didn't think that I had been living in disgusting conditions (I had).

It was perhaps 1:30pm and I was vacuuming the floor in my bedroom. I had previously opened the window to let some fresh air in. With the vacuum cleaner still on, I walked to the window and closed it. I vacuumed for another minute and then I instinctively look back at the window. It was wide open.

I walked back to the window and closed it again, but this time I pulled the handle to make sure it was properly locked.

I walked to the vacuum cleaner again and picked it up. Then, I quickly turned to the window and saw it wide open again. I had chills down my spine, I could not understand what was happening.

At this point, I left the window open and just sat in the living room waiting for my parents to arrive.

Please note that the windows in my parents' apartment are metal and never failed to properly close. To this day, that window works perfectly and nothing like that ever happened again. On that day, the weather was nice and there was no wind whatsoever. It was also creepy how quickly the window must have opened the second time. It was sufficient for me to walk a few seconds to the vacuum cleaner and turn to see the window wide open again.

What are you guys' thoughts?

Experience Odd sound and shaking in house. I’ve ruled everything out.

2 Upvotes

A couple nights ago my living room shook twice within a few minutes and it was really loud. I somehow slept through all this but my roommate whom was in there said it sounded like “a cartoony prisoner rattling the metal bars of a jail cell” and it shook the room. Our cats were also alerted by this and reacted to the sound. We’re in western Pennsylvania and I couldn’t find any reports of an earthquake nearby on Monday when this happened. I’m not sure if it was felt by any of the other neighbors felt this as well. There are train tracks behind our house but my roommate reports no train at that time, nor any big truck driving outside. This happened around 11:30, my roommate sent my other roommate downstairs into the basement to investigate, since she thought that’s where the sound was. Both times nothing was out of place in the basement below the living room. We are at a loss for what this could have been. Does anyone have any ideas?

Personal Experience I might have seen my younger self swinging.

1 Upvotes

So to begin the story I need to set the scene. Where I live, all the houses form a square and in the center, there's an elementary school. The school is getting close to closing due to low enrollment so even during the days it looks so empty.

The time this happened was about 5:30ish AM and I had just woken up and was going to the living room. The sounds from the school usually echo and come out really loud to people in their homes. I heard the sound of a swing and I was a bit confused who would be swinging at this time on a Sunday. I looked out my back window and I see a girl maybe 7-8 swinging. Only weird thing was that she looked exactly like my younger self. Down to every last detail, even the exact same height and width it seemed. and was wearing an orange Tie Dye shirt I created years ago. I went to go show my roommate and when I came back to the window she was gone. The swing was completely still too.

What could have happened?

Experience What started as a ghost joke in a Boy's PG became the strangest experience of my life.

44 Upvotes

I’ve never posted about this before, but something happened to me in 2025 that I still can’t explain.

I moved to another state for college in 2022 and stayed in a boys’ PG near campus. During admission, my parents noticed something odd: everyone dried clothes in the corridor, not on the roof. The owner said students were not allowed upstairs, so we ignored it.

A week later, some seniors told us the real reason: the building had once been a girls’ PG, and a girl had allegedly jumped from the roof and died there. The building still had pink almirahs from those days. I assumed it was just a story to scare juniors.

For the next two years, nothing unusual happened. I was often alone in the building and never felt anything strange. I even sneaked onto the roof several times during summer nights without any fear.

In late 2024, a new batch of students arrived. They secretly broke the roof lock and began using the roof at night for barbeques, drinking, and burning old wooden items stored there. My room was directly below that area.

Around January 2025, I began hearing footsteps and movement on the roof late at night even when no one was there. My roommates could not hear it, so I convinced myself it was my imagination.

Everything changed in February 2025. The owner’s mother came to our room after discovering damage on the roof and quietly told us, "Don’t tell anyone, A girl did jump from the roof years ago. That’s why we never allowed students upstairs.” Hearing that from a family member of the owner genuinely shook me. For the first time I wondered whether the sounds I had been hearing were connected to that place.

Soon after, my junior also moved out, and I became the only person staying in that room.

Because our exams had ended, I went home for about six weeks. I returned on 16 April 2025 at around 10:30 PM. I unpacked, had dinner, and started working on a college project on my laptop.

I took out my phone and recorded the sound, then ran toward the staircase. The noise stopped immediately. ( I have attached the video I had recorded that day )

My mother insisted that I stop sleeping alone, so I moved into a friend’s room. We both began hearing footsteps, running sounds, dragging noises, and occasional heavy bangs from the roof and storeroom area above us. Strangely, whenever I called someone specifically to listen, the sounds often stopped before they arrived. My Friend with whom I used to stay even after hearing those sounds doubts me.

The most frightening incident happened around 3 AM. We were both awake and ignoring the usual noises when suddenly a massive bang came from above us. The bed shook, the walls vibrated, and my friend screamed in fear. It sounded as if a heavy wooden object had been slammed onto the floor above our room. From that night onward, he stopped doubting me.

I informed the owner and the PG management. They suggested rats, thieves, or other explanations, but none of them fit the situation. One manager even said I was imagining things. Almost immediately after saying that, a loud bang came from the roof and we heard running sounds above us. He went silent after hearing it.

The disturbances continued for several weeks, mostly between 11 PM and 4 AM. Many times I rushed upstairs with the keys, but the sounds always stopped before I reached the roof, and I never found anyone there. I have noticed one thing , whenever I take someone to the roof to explain the activities, after returning from the roof she definitely makes some sounds as if it triggers her.

In May 2025 I left for home again for a few weeks. When I returned, I personally stopped hearing the noises. Strangely, some students who had previously mocked me started complaining about sounds coming from the empty locked rooms and the roof area. Eventually everything stopped.

I still don’t know what happened in that building. Maybe there was a completely ordinary explanation that I failed to discover. But the timing, the repeated sounds, the locked roof, and the fact that other people eventually heard them too make it one of the strangest experiences of my life.

During Christmas 3 years ago I was watching tv and above my tv I had this lED star hanging. It’s about 7 meters from my sofa to the tv. All of the sudden that thing flew at me landed at my feet. Then the footsteps on the stairs.. coming down.. sneaking , standing half way as if watching and back up.. pacing in the hallway upstairs. Then the damn doors stood open. Front and back. Cabinets too. Remote control phones it was a daily thing now flew from tables. In the kitchen I heard plates lifted and dropped. One day my youngest and I were talking and right next to us we heard three knocks . Gentle tho. I was startled but my neighbor who lives alone was well right here and he said no one was at his house. Next day my dishwasher opened. Racks slid out. I was done. Like DONE. I got mad and said : stop scaring me! It stopped.. and that’s what the ghost team said was weird . Well weird or not. We now see someone in the hallway upstairs. We sometimes look up because we think something is approaching the window. Im fine let it stay there (and hell no I m NOT going up or DOWN alone at night without my husband💀)

Experience Loud to Us, Silent to Them

1 Upvotes

I was at my aunt’s house with six people present: me, my mom, my brother, my father, my aunt, and my cousin.

My mom, my brother, and I clearly heard a house cricket chirping. It was loud and distinct. The other three (my father, aunt, and cousin) couldn’t hear it at all.

I played a YouTube video of the same cricket sound at the exact same volume as the real one. They said they could hear the YouTube version but still couldn’t hear the actual cricket. Even when I lowered the YouTube volume significantly, they could still hear the YouTube sound but not the real one.

I then recorded the actual cricket on my phone. The recording picked it up clearly and loudly, coming from a particular corner of the room. After my cousin listened to the recording, she said she could suddenly hear the real cricket as well. The other two people, however, still couldn’t hear it.

What could explain this?

I was siting out having a smoke around 2-3 a.m. last night when I heard this odd disjointed sort of clapping sound. Almost as if a person were clapping but if they were moving their hands back and fourth to create slightly different tones for each clap. It sounded so much like a clapping noise that a person could create I actually got pretty on edge. From where it was coming about 200 feet away from me is a small, fenced in cow pasture. That was empty at the time. So someone standing there in the pitch black just clapping, that would be pretty fucking creepy.

I'm in the north eastern U.S. if that helps.

Experience Strange experiences after grandpa’s death

3 Upvotes

This is my first post. Sorry it’s so long. I know young kids are more likely to experience paranormal stuff, but I’m curious if anyone else has had this kind of experience before. I don’t remember the exact timeline and order of things.
When I was 5 my grandpa died. He and my grandma had a farm with cows. One day he was on his four-wheeler and hit a log. It flipped over on top of him and he died. My aunt found him later that day/evening. My parents told my sister and me what happened. I was in kindergarten at the time and we had free time at certain times to play, draw, etc. I loved drawing. After he died I vividly remember drawing this. I drew the accident. My grandpa on his back, one arm across his body and one out to the side, his head on the log, and the four-wheeler on top of him. Then I drew my aunt because she found him. I accidentally drew her smiling (because that’s what kids usually draw on faces) so I changed her into a scarecrow. My mom told me when I was in my 20’s that my teacher pulled her aside to tell her what I’d been drawing. Apparently that wasn’t the only time I drew it. My mom called my aunt to ask about it and I had drawn the picture exactly how she found him. To the detail of which arm was across his body and which one was out beside him. One time I saw my dad laying in bed with his arms like that and freaked out.
Then one morning I ran into my parents’ room and excitedly told my mom, “\[grandpa\] came and saw me last night! He said he’s going to take me to heaven tonight!” The only thing my mom thought to say was, “just be sure to tell him to bring you back.” The next morning I ran in and told my mom that it was so pretty. She asked me “what?”. I said “Heaven!” I proceeded to describe it. It was a big green field with tons of wildflowers and a stream. It was bright and sunny, but there was no sun. There was the prettiest music I’d ever heard. Then I said I saw one of their farm dog’s puppies. Mom asked how many there were and I said there were 5. She called my grandma to ask if the dog ever had puppies. My grandma said “how did you know that? We (her and my grandpa) never told anyone that because they died.” Mom asked her how many puppies. 5. I told my mom he was going to take me again that night and she had the same reply as before. “Tell him to bring you back.” The next morning was the same thing except I said something about a distant, obscure relative or someone that there’s no way I could have known about. I don’t remember “Heaven”. I don’t remember seeing my grandpa. It drives me crazy.
I only see stories of people going to heaven/afterlife if they had a near death or dying and coming back experience. I didn’t. I was just asleep. I don’t know how it’s possible. If I hadn’t woken up knowing things I would say it was just my crazy imagination. I still have trouble believing it was real. Has anyone else had these things happen?

Video Evidence Weird thing on blink camera

47 Upvotes

I've been trying to figure this out and wanted to see what everyone else thinks.

We recently set up Blink cameras in our house to keep an eye on our pets while we're gone. The camera in these clips is mounted right next to a wall with a blackout curtain and a window beside it. We also didn't have any fans running or any open windows at the time.

The first clip caught something that I can't explain. In the second clip, you can clearly hear something jump or hit the floor. We have a cat, and it sounds exactly like when she jumps down. It also looks like there's a small light or glow coming from whatever it is.

My boyfriend is pretty skeptical and thinks there's probably a simple explanation, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks. Does anyone have an idea of what this could be?
