“I’d get weird goosebumps just thinking about it for months afterward.

I’ve never seen anything like that before or since.”

Sure enough, the thread quickly filled with many bizarre stories of creepy occurrences that really rattled people.

Traffic light on green at night

Here’s what people shared:

1.

“Years ago, I was working as a nurse at a hospital.

I had this lovely older lady who suffered from dementia.

Hand holding a US passport over a suitcase, suggesting travel preparation

She was alone in a room.

At night, when I walked by, I heard her talking and popped in.

She was alone and told me she was talking to her husband while pointing to an empty chair.

International Space Station orbits Earth, no persons visible

I told her, ‘Then tell him goodnight and go to sleep,’ which she did.

An hour later, her family called.

Her husband had passed away one hour prior.

I’m an atheist…but I still think about that!”

“I was driving through a small town with my husband just as it got dark.

I said to my husband, ‘That lady just saved us.’

He said he never saw a lady.”

“I used to work at a haunted house as one of the actors.

Being the good friend I am, I signed up, too.

One night, I had to work a whole section by myself.

I had to sit alone in dim lighting for hours, with horror music playing to create ambiance.

One night, there was a 30-minute lag where nobody came through.

So, imagine sitting in pure, eerie darkness by yourself for that long.”

Cloudy sky with a warm ambiance

I had to leave the set and go to the break room for a while.

I saw something else peculiar in a different room a few days later.

“Not long before an overseas flight, I couldnt find my passport anywhere.

I tore the whole house apart looking for it.

My partner helped, and he also checked the document box.

Shadow of hands pressed against opaque surface, evoking mystery in a monochrome setting

It was just nowhere.

Anthony, St. Anthony, hey come around, my passport needs to be found.'”

“I went to sleep and prepared to try and get an emergency passport the next morning.

Absolutely cannot explain this.

It 100% was not in the box.

My partner was probably more freaked out than me.

It definitely wouldnt have been missed.

Weirdest thing that has ever happened to me.”

There’s no way a normal person could do that.

Then, it ran across the road and disappeared.

Freaking Yowies…they are real."

“I was watching the ISS livestream late one night, about eight years ago.

Looking at the big old world and feeling small and tranquil soothed my anxiety.

Suddenly, this object (?)

came into view of the camera.

It was sort of shaped like an arrowhead or a three-sided long pyramid that was toppled over.

It started small and far from the camera’s view.

I assumed it was space debris or a fancy satellite.

But, it just kept getting closer, and this thing was HUGE.

it had tons of square-edge ridges, curved indents in symmetrical patterns, and more and more detail.

I can’t really express the size of it.

So, I put in the stream chat, ‘What is that thing?’

A few seconds later, the feed cut to static.

God, do I wish I’d pressed ‘print screen.'”

Maybe there was a reason, but it felt strange…like he was there.

Haven’t been afraid of death since."

And yeah, I know all lightning is white, but sometimes it has that blue/violet tint around it.

This one was yellow."

It was a blueish, artificial light that turned half the night sky to day.

“It was so close, I remember tilting my head back to look up at the main chimneys.

Neither my buddy nor I were fazed by it at the time, though.

It sounds weird, but it somehow just seemed normal.

The red navigation lights on top of the station towers twinkled in the distance.

We didn’t even talk about it that night other than casually mentioning the light.

We drank a bit more and went home, and, again, everything seemed perfectly normal.

I’d get weird goosebumps just thinking about it for months afterward.

I’ve never seen anything like that before or since.”

“When my wife and I were dating, I spent the night at her apartment.

She has commented on feeling presences there occasionally, but I didn’t think much of it.

We were about to go to bed.

There was a four- or five-foot-tall dresser beside the side of the bed I was on.

There was a quarter on top of it, maybe an inch from the edge.

We turned off the lights and lay in bed.

A few seconds later, we both heard what sounded like a coin hitting wood and then the floor.

A little freaked out, we got up and turned the lights on.

That quarter was on the floor.

I went to the bathroom and there was some sort of organ in the urinal.

I ran outside and just peed on the ground behind the gas station.”

u/Any-Shelter-4322

“When I was a kid, I went outside to call my brother home.

I dont believe in aliens or UFOs, but it definitely happened, and I cant explain it.”

u/stoobydoo69

That convinced me there was much more than there seems to this world and reality."

He tells the best stories.’

Everybody was super confused because he was killed years before I was born.

I still remember talking to him.

I dont believe in ghosts to this day, but this has me confused AF."

We came around a hill and slammed on the brakes, and it took off into the sky.

Its wingspan was easily longer than our car."

u/Mr_Mojo_Risin_83

16.

Then, the vision disappeared as I continued walking to my car.

This has happened twice in two different locations."

“I was playing outside with my older brother and saw him dash across the street.

My big brother had never crossed the street, and it was him holding me by the shirt.”

“A massive orange cloud appeared over the ocean on the Oregon coast at night.

I was walking and stargazing when it happened.

It was astonishing in its intensity.”

19.

We stayed in a one-bedroom, and the bedroom was right next to the bathroom.

One night, out of nowhere, I just woke up.

I looked at the ceiling in complete darkness, and something just made me feel weird.

I just got goosebumps while writing this.

I closed my eyes and just lay there until I fell asleep again.

I have no proof, but I know what I saw."

u/Important-Builder736

“My husband died suddenly in 2016.

I woke one night, and he was sitting on the foot of our bed watching me.

I wasnt afraid, and he looked peaceful.

He faded after a while and was gone.

We had been together for 46 years.

Yes, I believe in spirits, and I think he was letting me know it was okay.

Dont care what naysayers claim.”

u/Bookauthorkidlit

21.

Besides, there weren’t any deer in that neighborhood, so this was definitely something different.

I don’t know what it was, but I saw it."

u/IDoesThis1

“I lived in a house where shadows of people would move on the walls.

This was a daily occurrence for four months.

We’d go downstairs, and it would stop every time.

My then-girlfriend and I just sat there like, ‘What was that?'”

We looked at each other like, ‘Lets just pretend that didnt happen.'"

Our usual walk route would take us along a path through a field.

As I was walking, I could hear footsteps running up toward the forest.

I shined the light toward it and saw someone in a long trench coat running up toward the wall.

They jumped over it, and that was it.

I stood there listening for a few seconds.

I was on edge the entire walk back, but there was absolutely nothing.

To this day, I have no idea what it was.
