People Share Their Most Bizarre Experience Ever
From home alone scares, to inexplicable memories.
Published 8 months ago in Wtf
When two siblings heard their front door open, they assumed that their parents were home from work. But a quick glance out of the window proved that their parents' cars were not in the driveway, and the hallway light turning on proved that they were not alone. Terrified, the pair locked themselves in a room and called their uncle. Only, nobody else was ever found in the house.
For those two siblings, it was the most unsettling experience they had ever been through. Check out that story, and 19 others in this collection of weird and freaky stories.

I had this nice pair of designer boots that were dark blue velvet, so I only wore them in the winter, but kept them centrally displayed on my shoe rack in my room because they're so pretty. I seriously loved these shoes, and everyday I would consciously admire them and get excited to wear them once the weather cooled off. Then one morning, they were gone. The space where they always were had a different pair of my shoes in it. I live alone and had not brought any guests over, and had not left my apartment since the last time I saw the shoes. I thought maybe I sleep-walked or absent mindedly moved them, but no. I looked everywhere--and have since moved out, which required sorting and going through everything I own--and never found them. Yes, the shoes were real because I have pictures of me wearing them in past years. I just have no idea how the heck this was possible and it really freaks me out, even now.

I once was chased down my street after school. A man in an old Cadillac came squeezing around the corner. I saw him following me from school, I was about seven at the time.
I remember pedaling as fast as I could, and I could hear him telling me to stop and to get in his car. I was terrified, never seen him before except around town near the parks and schools. Maybe a kid’s grandparent.
I flew around the corner peddling down my street and up the driveway. The door was locked and I panicked, I went back to the driveway and slid under my parents' smaller car. The man pulled up right as I got under. He got out and quickly walked over near where I was and reached down trying to grab me. I rolled over and slid further down from the angle I was in to create distance. He gave up, screamed that he would get me. Got in his car and drove away. I have only ever told my wife.3
I was spray painting a thing in my front yard. I ran out of red so I turned around and started to go to my garage for the other red. As I was halfway through the grass I felt someone sucker punch me in my right side. I turn and there is no one anywhere. Not even rustling in the woods. It wasn't a muscle spasm because I had a small bruise show up later. A ghost kidney punched me.

I was a young nurse in a hospital and worked with primarily cancer patients. I had some small issues with my health but doctors couldn't give me a definitive diagnosis within seven years. I tried to not worry about it until doctors told me it was bad, and I succeeded in that.
My last workday I found a sticker lying behind the counter, which drew my attention. It had my own name on it, so I checked what it was for. I was scheduled for a bone-marrow punction that I was not aware of. That was the day I found out I had cancer. My doctor confirmed it a few days later. A month later I was being treated by my own ex-coworkers. I wanted to return to work afterwards but I just couldn't.5
When I was in fourth grade, I was sitting at my desk rubbing my eyes, and when I opened them I couldn't see anything; (whatever spacey thing that happens to you when you rub your eyes too hard). I was panicking and I heard someone say, "don't worry you're going to be fine," and I remember thinking "how does the teacher know I can't see?" When my vision finally came back the teacher was still up at the chalkboard and no one around me seemed to have noticed anything. I've never told anyone because it's so weird and bizarre and I'm sure no one would believe me anyway.

After two unsuccessful pregnancies, I fell pregnant again and needless to say, I was terrified. The night before my 12 week scan I had a dream that had my deceased grandad in it. It was pretty mundane, me just hanging out with him at his house. In the dream, he out of nowhere grabbed my shoulders and said quite forcefully, "everything will be alright," and I jolted awake very suddenly. My anxiety disappeared the following morning. I know it's a dream blah blah but it was so vivid and I was grateful that it helped settle my nerves. I'd never had anything like that before and I don't necessarily believe in these things, but I take comfort in that dream. Everything was ok and now I have a gorgeous seven-week-old daughter.

When I was about 12 or 13 I remember that for nearly two weeks I was able to go to bed and close my eyes and tell myself to sleep and I would instantly, (or what felt like instantly), open my eyes and it would already be morning. I remember telling my best friend at the time and to this day we sometimes talk about it. He had a theory that I was somehow hypnotizing myself.

When I was six years old I had a nightmare; my grandfather and I were having tea at a run down train station. His tea was dark as tar and mine was clear as water. Again, in my nightmare I asked my grandfather why we were at a train station and having tea, he said that his time was up and he had to go. Afterwards he jumped into a passing train and started waving at me goodbye. I woke up crying and ran to my mom. She said let's call your grandfather so we can say hi to him. Instead we got connected with my mom's brother crying on the phone saying that he was just about to call my mom since my grandfather had an unforeseen heart attack and passed away at the exact time I saw him in my dream.

I was probably 14-15 at the time, at home, around 1am. I had walked into the kitchen to get a drink before going to bed and I watched our old "under the counter" model toaster oven turn on by itself. That flipped me out a little. I walked over, grabbed the cord, and it was already unplugged. That flipped me out a lot. When I looked back at the toaster the indicator light was off, so I figured I was hallucinating. When I touched the toaster and found that it was slightly warm I figured that if the evil spirits wanted me dead they could kill me in my sleep and just went back to bed.

An old woman at my church offered me free cross stitching lessons, because I wanted to learn. I think I was 10? She was a fairly decent teacher, but when my mom honked the horn for me to leave outside, the lady lifted up her shirt and bra to show me a scar on her chest for no reason. That image literally scared my mind

A few years ago I woke up and did my usual morning routine; shower, breakfast, etc. Drove to work and arrived on time to an empty field because the place was not there and had never existed.That is the most confused I have ever been. I remember people's names, forms I used to fill out everyday, procedures and safety protocols. I still have a sense of loss when I think about it. I experienced a dissociative state and had formed new memories in addition to my existing "real" memories.
