“I just got this horrible, gut-wrenching feeling of wanting to puke because something was very wrong.”
Recently, redditoru/Sean-Witheniandasked the r/AskReddit community to share the mostunexplainable eventthat has happened to them.
I scrolled for a while, and here are some of the most terrifying and baffling stories I found.
We didn’t talk to each other.
“I had sleep paralysis about seven years ago.
I had just had surgery and was sore, so I slept on the couch the first night.
I opened my eyes and could not move.
What I’d guess was a demon or some kind of dark entity was standing over me.
Then suddenly, I looked at myself in the mirror and had red glowing eyes.
I woke up, and I was so terrified.

“There was a huge earthquake in San Francisco in the ’80s.
My dad was there for a conference.
We felt the quake where we were, and I suddenly started screaming, ‘Dad!
Look out for the chandelier!’
My mom and siblings were understandably freaked out.
A chandelier fell right where he was previously standing.
My family never talks about it.
It freaked everyone out severely.”
“Both of my parents (who were divorced) essentially died on the same day this past December.
It’s about as shitty a situation as you could imagine.”

“I was working in a lab with skeletal remains, many of which were Native American ancestral remains.
“I was in high school at a friend’s birthday party.
I closed the curtains quickly, and we were all screaming.
Her mom came rushing in.
Was he really a murderer who got scared away by our screaming?
Was he some guy passing by that happened to look over at the exact moment the curtains opened?
Did we just imagine the whole thing from sitting up and talking about how scared we were?
Was he a peeping Tom trying to catch a glimpse of 14-year-old girls in pajamas?
Did he overhear our conversation and think it would be funny to play a prank on us?

“I was at home after hanging out with my family all day.
It was about 11 p.m. when I came in.
I heard a low, creepy voice say, ‘Fire, there is going to be danger.’
The next day, we hung out again.
It was midnight when we came in to get more drinks.
We all smelled this horrible stench of smoke.”
One day, I was at Walmart and randomly thought of her.
I immediately knew something was wrong because she always jumped up to greet me.
As I approached, I noticed her lips were blue, and I started calling 911.
Her lungs were 80% filled with fluid, and she had two collapsed heart valves.
The paramedics told me if I got caught at a red light, she’d probably be dead.
She was around 80 years old at the time.
She passed away at 95 a year ago.”

“I have no idea how I got home from a bar one night.
I was living on my own and went out with some childhood friends and my brother.
The next thing I remember was waking up in my childhood bedroom in my parents' house.
My brother and friends were freaking out because they had no idea what happened to me.
They didn’t really understand what happened.
My parents said four guys they had never seen carried me to the door and helped take me upstairs.
My parents knew the people I was out with, but these were different people.”
I was in the process of preparing to move there myself and came down for a visit.

As soon as I opened the door, she bolted to the corner of our property.
Suddenly, we hear what sounds like someone stomping/running down the stairs.
Naturally, I jumped up, assuming someone had broken in, but there was nobody there.
We checked every room upstairs, every closet, under every bed nothing.

“When I was a teenager, I almost died.
I was on a cross-country team.
At that exact moment, I stopped running, and a tree landed exactly where I would’ve been.
That cramp saved my life.”
It was about 11 p.m., so not too many people out in my area.
Some part of the door, or fender, or something had pierced my chest.
I hadn’t driven since that morning around 8 a.m. No police reports, no newspaper articles, nothing.
I felt it, I saw it, I heard it.
I’ve had chills the whole time typing this; it really freaks me out.”

I walked to McDonald’s since it was five minutes from my house.
“Many years ago, I woke up sick and couldn’t go to school.
It was the only time I had ever been sick for school.
Many years later, I phoned in sick from work, something I had never done before.
I turned on the TV just in time to watch live as an airplane flew into a tower.”

My friend and I were driving when she decided to take a shortcut through an alley.
Suddenly, I heard my cellphone ring, which I had just bought the week before.
