Hollywood thrillers are our go-to source of excitement and suspense. However, real life can occasionally be more intriguing, scary, and bizarre than any manufactured fiction. The events in this compilation actually occurred, reminding us that life can surprise us when we least expect it—which is what makes it so exciting.
Story 1:
A woman in her 60s contacted 911, scared, stating she heard footsteps upstairs and lived alone. When the police arrived, her door was unlocked. They discovered her sitting calmly, without moving or blinking. There was no evidence of breaking and entering.
However, one cop observed she was smiling. When he started questioning her, he realized that the woman did not feel intimidated in her home. She was just alone, had no visitors, and yearned for human interaction. She could only think of one solution: make up this falsehood to attract some attention.
What she did was definitely wrong, but the police understood her loneliness and made sure that someone visited this lady once a week to check on her and keep her company.
Story 2:
I was trekking late at night with my friend when something large and bright flew directly over us above the forest line. It was so dazzling that we couldn’t see it, and whatever it was, it made no sound. Actually, it was one of the quietest moments of my life.
I recall saying, “What is that?” but nothing came out of my mouth. It just lasted a few seconds before it was over. © s9nister | Reddit
Story 3:
Ten years ago, I encountered a young homeless man who claimed to know me. When I told him I had no idea who he was, he responded, “Isn’t your name Eamon, and you work in radio broadcasting?” I freaked out. He was correct, and I had always secretly wanted to work in radio. I asked, “Who are you?”
He smirked and said it didn’t matter and to ignore him since he gets confused between the present and the future. Then he just left.
I never saw him again. It threw me absolutely off. I almost gave up on the dream of working in radio due to my phobia. copyright beardmonger/Reddit
Story 4:
My lover can always cure my hiccups by stroking my chest, and they go away immediately. If he is not present, I cannot stop them. The only time it didn’t work during our two years together was when he was really angry at me for something. I honestly can’t explain it. © Echojhawke/Reddit
Story 5:
My room is just across from the bathroom in my home. Well, one night a few years back, while lying in bed, I noticed the shower curtain detach itself and fall to the floor. I’m not sure how it got unhooked; those rings are a headache to remove manually. © MagicHobo3 / Reddit
Story 6:
We spent one night at a friend’s lake cabin. There were around 7 or 8 of us, and we were getting ready for bed after a night of partying. Suddenly, all of the light bulbs began to shatter or spark, one after the other. We all opted to leave immediately because it was so disturbing. © Hairofbrown/Reddit
Story 7:
My brother and I were alone at home when the hair dryer turned on for around 30 seconds before shutting off. This happened about five times, and the strange thing was that the dryer was unplugged and no one was in the bathroom. © Unknown author/Reddit
Story 8:
My father, sister, and I saw something that was neither animal nor human. This occurred in winter 2015 in rural Saskatchewan. We were driving when it ran out in front of us on the road.
It was so fast that it seemed as a dark blur, but we all agreed that we saw long, gangly limbs resembling deer. However, it possessed human-like “arms” and “legs.” We still discuss it to this day. © Doometteowo/Reddit
Story 9:
I was in college at the time, sharing a room at my fraternity home. I was seated on the couch, watching TV, when the other couch moved 3 feet to the right, paused, and then returned 3 feet to almost the same location. © Chris Schuyler / Reddit.
