What weird/unexplained things have happened to you?

Growing up I had a close friendship group, there were around 8 of us out one night.

We would go and chill, smoke and drink. Normal teenage things.

One night, we went to the local cricket club field. It wasn’t as brightly lit as normal, the lighting systems were getting replaced.

Either way, we all stayed well into the early hours. As it approached 2am we calmed things down, talking normal shit.

Then, someone spotted a dark figure, really tall and super skinny at the other side of the field. We were winding each other up about it. Downplaying and also saying spooky shit, just to get people upset.

Things went really quiet, this weird buzzing droning noise started, it felt like the air just before a lightning storm.

We all saw the same thing and to this day, we can recall the night. Numerous small black holes appeared at the other side of the field, popping in and out of visibility, the figure was no longer there.

Nobody was talking and we just stared at these holes, nudging each other freaking out. The buzzing stopped, the air went back to normal and the holes were gone.

We checked out and all ran to our friend’s house just down the road.

To this date, never seen or experienced anything like it and we talk about it like it was just “that one time”.

Bizarre and weird 🤷‍♂️.

Weirdly I’ve just read a horror book where there’s a very similar situation to this - it’s called The Hollow Places, although this stuff happens in another parallel world. There’s these tall creatures that makes this awful noise when they’re near you and they feed by making holes in the ground and people’s bodies. Like it almost sounds identical (not accusing you of making it up, more genuinely bewildered by how similar it is!)

Went to one of them paranormal evenings with a mate. Don't believe in weird stuff but ended up having a lot of unexplained stuff happen in my house for a while after.

Wouldn't announce it to anyone irl but some stuff really freaked me out. We've got a German shepherd so I never feel uncomfortable when my husband works late but nah. Still skeptical but wouldn't mess with anything like that ever again.

[-]

Etheria_system@reddit

What sort of stuff happened?

[-]

signpostlake@reddit

A lot of it was just weird noises. Hearing someone upstairs when I was home alone. Once walked into the kitchen and there was a pomegranate from the fruit bowl rolling around on the kitchen top nowhere near the bowl. The bowl wasn't even half way full so I just thought wtf.

The first morning after I got home I was getting dressed in my bedroom with the door closed. Heard the dog being stupid on the other side of the bed. Sounded like he'd knocked something over and was playing with it. Leaned over the bed to see what he was doing and he wasn't even in the room with me. He was downstairs. I'd even felt what I thought was him bumping into the bed.

Once he woke me up snarling at the landing. Really unlike him and there was obviously nothing there. The worst thing happened last. Really sunny weekend morning, up early but home alone. Took a cuppa back upstairs to lounge in bed for a bit. The bedroom door was open and my dog was asleep on the floor. Sudden huge bangs from up in the loft. There's a staircase going up and I could literally hear people running up and down those stairs. It sounded like stuff was getting thrown down them and smashed off the floors and walls in the loft.

Thought my heart had stopped but after it went quiet I went up and there wasn't a thing out of place.

Tried thinking up rational explanations, had my husband check for rats and mice so many times. After we'd put something up there, I was walking downstairs and heard jingle bells. The only thing up there that could have caused the noise would be from a zipper bag of Christmas decorations. We checked and checked. No signs of any pests. There was a lot that happened. I thought I was going crazy but others saw stuff too. After the crazy loft banging, nothing else happened. We're still in the same house lol

[-]

Etheria_system@reddit

Gosh this sounds absolutely terrifying!

[-]

signpostlake@reddit

Yeah there was honestly a lot. The loft thing was the worst. I got to the point where I didn't want to be home alone. Some of it sounded so random and stupid. A bit of fruit rolling down the counter as you walk in the kitchen with no way it could have fallen from the bowl.

Just seeing random things move too like a heavy couch throw or a book landing on the floor when it was in the middle of a table. I just ignored a lot of it but some of it was impossible to pretend it wasn't happening.

[-]

Etheria_system@reddit

It definitely sounds like you picked up something unsavoury at the evening you went to. I’ve seen and heard things since I was a child so I never mess with this sort of stuff.

Had a lot of restless spirits in my old place including a little ghost cat who followed me over to my current bungalow. One of the people who works for my housing association is a medium and I felt so much relief when he told me that my new place didn’t have any spirits here.

I’m from the US, but this haunting incident occurred in the UK at a hotel (forgot the name) by a lake in the Lake District. I lay in bed, facing the wall and felt a cold bast of air along my neck, followed by my hair being tugged! I froze, pretended to be asleep, and felt it tugged again and then a third time. I was so freaked out, so I couldn’t, wouldn’t, turn around but moved my head slightly, like someone would if they felt something while sleeping. The cold slowly faded away and when I realized the apparition(?) was gone, I turned around and of course, there was nothing there. The next morning, the tour guide asked us if any of us experienced a haunting during the night, as a little girl ghost is known to roam around, playfully tugging on people’s hair!

The room itself does look haunted!

My dad did when I was 17. It was sudden and traumatic. A few years later I was watching alone in the house, watching a film on VHS. I was in my room, with the door pulled too, but not shut. Halfway through the movie I heard whistling outside my room. It was very familiar and I thought nothing of it. When the film finished I got up to get a drink, and realised I was still the only person in the house. My dad would whistle whilst he was walking, or working on something. It was one of those irritating traits that I desperately missed hearing.

I played the video back and there was no whistling in it. A sense of calm came over me and I acknowledged that I’d heard dad, but it didn’t particularly chime with what I believed — as far as I’m concerned, when you pass away, that’s it, you’ve been and now you’re gone, left only in the memories of those you knew and loved. I’ve thought about it a lot over the years, can only conclude that I was in a headspace where that was what I wanted to hear. I needed to hear him on some level, and I daydreamed it.

There was an intense period where I’d wake up in the middle of the night and think he was standing at my door. It used to scare the shit out of me at first, but I came to accept that he was there, he was on my mind, and it was what I needed to see. That was thirty years ago, I haven’t experienced anything similar since.

sneltonexp@reddit

Sometimes wake up in the early hours and there's a really strong smell of ciggies in my room. Just my room. None of my neighbours smoke and the windows are shut. It's like someone's lit up right next to me, not like a faint whiff of baccy in the breeze. There must be an explanation (I'm 100% yeam skeptic, for the fellow Uncanny listeners), but can't figure it out.

As someone who doesn't believe in the paranormal or out of body experiences and the like.... I had an out of body experience. I didn't drink or use any drugs and was not on any medication. I was lying in bed on my front and woke up. I then slowly floated above myself until I reached the ceiling, hovered there for about a minute and then gently descended back down. I felt very peaceful, warm and cosy. Fell right back asleep. This was about 14 years ago and I've never experienced it since.

There were a few peculiar happenings after my dad passed away suddenly. The rest of my family had been struck down with a sickness bug at same time so I had to step up and sort out a lot of the immediate practicalities on my own.

One morning it got too much and I sat alone on the sofa with my head in my hands, tears started streaming down my face. I was panicking and wondering how I was going to carry out all of the tasks that day on my own again when I was startled by a sound coming from the cupboard. It was dad’s phone alarm, the same phone I had turned off a couple of days before. The alarm time was completely random something like 10.07.

There were no circumstances under which he would set an alarm for that time, he was usually up no later than 8. It certainly made me snap out of it and able to get on with it that day.

When I was late into my pregnancy with my daughter, I had the most vivid dream I have ever had. I was on a railway platform, and a big green steam train came in - with my grandma standing in the door of the engine, waving and absolutely beaming. We went into the station and there was a pub, so we had a couple of drinks and chatted, and she told me to take photographs of everything with my daughter, and that she was proud of me but she had to go. I gave her a cuddle, she got back on the train, and off she went, waving and smiling.

When I woke up, the room was hazy, and I felt a sense of calm I've never felt before, and never felt since. I am absolutely certain that my Grandma came to see me that night.

Both of my parents (deceased) have visited me in my dreams. I was also haunted, it followed me to different homes. I finally got rid of it when a nun advised me to "smudge the house, all all who live there".

[-]

No-Taro-6953@reddit

Whats smudge?

[-]

Fluffy-Exchange-2053@reddit

Basically you burn a stick of sage around your home, making sure the smoke reaches every corner while you say a prayer or a chant to banish the bad energy/spirts. I probably looked completely bonkers doing it, but I was willing to try anything and it worked.

I woke up suddenly at the moment my grandad, granny and mother in law passed.

With my Granny, my mum rang at 7am to say she'd passed about an hour ago and I was like "oh that's weird, I woke up at 5.56 thinking of her". It was so weird as we weren't expecting it.

When my grandad went, I woke at 4am thinking of him. Whilst it was inevitable I wasn't actually expecting it and had hoped he'd make another few months. When I got called that morning I was like, I know. My husband was a bit dubious about it and joked about me being a harbinger of doom.

Lastly, with my MIL, we knew she was going that night and I had driven my husband to the hospice so he could be there with her when she went. I went back home with the kids, but woke with a start, thinking of her, shortly before 2am. I called him so he wouldnt be alone and he was like she literally went a minute ago, how did you know.

Its a weird thing, I can't explain. I wake in the night all the time, but when someone passes it totally different. It makes no sense.

This is demonic deception. It is not your Grandfather, contact between anyone who has passed and anybody still alive on earth is forbidden by God. But, dark entities try to trick humans into the darkness so they imitate, fake and counterfeit humans you once loved to fool you onto dark pathways that lead you away from finding the loving Lord God Almighty who loves you and wants you saved for eternity. Satan does NOT want you saved. He wants as many humans as possible lost for eternity.

I can't say I've ever experienced my grandparent's house smell since my grandma died and my grandad sold the place, which was again about 10 years ago, but I can absolutely remember the smell like it was yesterday.

But yeah, smell has a very strong link with memory, and it's very common to smell smells you remember vividly

I often get a really strong smell of my nan's house, which was quite specific (hot wings and something undefinable) - even though they loved out of that house at least 2 years before she died

TackyTinsel@reddit

Many years ago, when I was around 14. I was staying with my mum. She lived in a pokey old cottage, 2 bedrooms upstairs and a living room and kitchen downstairs. Stairs in the middle of the house. Quite rural and very quiet.

I was alone in the house, for whatever reason, and I was just sat on the settee with the cat watching drivel on t.v. When I heard a loud clattering upstairs. It did scare me, but I thought it best to go and see what caused the noise. Even the cat followed me upstairs, and he wasn’t a particularly friendly cat.

I was looking in the smaller bedroom, when I heard a huge clattering downstairs. At this point I was thoroughly freaked out. So I grabbed a lamp from the bedside table, because that was obviously going to make all the difference to a fairly feeble teenage girl.

I crept down the stairs, clutching my makeshift weapon. Only to realise that a massive picture frame had come off the wall and landed right where the cat and I were sitting. It was a heavy solid wood frame, with thick glass… so I feel like it could have injured us. It did leave me with an odd feeling of being looked out for in that moment.

I sometimes get a slight smell of the perfume my Nanna wore when I was little. I live alone with a teenager who still thinks half a tin of lynx is as good as a shower, and i don't even wear aftershave (big beard and eczema in places), so no idea where the smell comes from.

[-]

skeletonmug@reddit

Our house gets phantom smells a lot. Usually fresh cigarette smoke, when neither of us smoke, but occasionally it'll be a perfume smell that's not like anything either of us wear. The other night we had a new one though, it was as if someone had opened a new book or magazine right next to my head. It was such a strong paper/inky smell that lasted about 5 minutes and vanished. Not related to any relatives though, and the house was only owned by one family from new in the 60s up until late 2010's when we bought it. Sometimes I think they just pop back to make sure we're enjoying living here!

The weirdest thing was the mystery shout a few years ago. I was upstairs reading to one of the kids, husband was downstairs in the hall off the kitchen (kitchen was directly below me) getting ready to take the dog out. I heard a shout in the kitchen as if he had just discovered something gross or scary, like a spider in his hat or something. I went down to see if he was okay, he asked if I was okay because he'd heard a shout from the direction of the kitchen and thought something had happened upstairs. We decided it was a time slip and the dog gave either a past or future owner a fright.

Choice-Demand-3884@reddit

Our previous house had a friendly 'presence' - it manifested itself with the sound of bare foot footsteps in the kitchen which you could hear from the next room. We also had several items vanish from where we knew they'd been left. It didn't really matter until my wedding ring and a pair of expensive headphones disappeared. A friend told us to 'ask the house' for them back. Which I did, feeling a bit of an idiot.

About an hour later I had a 'sudden urge' to look inside the inside pocket of a coat I hadn't worn for about two years. The ring was in the pocket.

I did the same for the headphones and had a 'sudden urge' to look in a rucksack I hadn't used for at least a year. There were the headphones.

Ah - and the piano used to play a few random notes at random times, but always in the early hours. That was the only thing that really gave me the heeby jeebies.

Whatever "it" was, we just knew it wasn't in any way malicious, just a bit mischievous.

I was staying with my aunt and cousins for the weekend. My aunt had her friend over, and her friend had brought round her two daughters (one of whom was a 3-6 month old baby). We all cooed over the baby and her mum lay her on the sofa in her blanket while my aunt and her friend went upstairs to go through my aunt's wardrobe, as my aunt was going on holiday a few weeks later.

My cousins and I stayed with the baby, but we had to pop upstairs really quick. We stayed upstairs for 3-7 minutes and then we all (my aunt and her friend included) came back downstairs.

The baby was on the floor. Not hurt, not crying, but legit lying on the carpet by the sofa as if someone had placed her there. I remember my aunt grilling my cousins and I, asking which one of us put her on the floor, but her friend pointed out we were upstairs with them, so there's no way we could have done it. It was bizarre and unexplained and I still think about it.

Only explanation I can think of is that she did roll off the sofa but was totally fine but I’m not sure a 3-6 month old can do that

Me and my sister stayed out on our trampoline with blankets when we were teenagers. We were laying watching the stars next to each other talking. About 10 inches above our faces a little 1-inch size blue flame? Appeared, drifted past us left to right very slowly, did a little loop and then fizzled out with orange sparks.

Lasted between 5 and 10 seconds. We both saw it and to this day have no idea what it was, never happened again.

A long straight road near me was traveling north on it I see this bike coming the other way towards me. It past, biker nods exchanged. Then it disappeared, nothing no sound, not there looking back not in my mirrors, nothing. Could not turned of the road. I stopped to turn around thought maybe he came off. Nothing there. Was very odd indeed.

[-]

killit@reddit

Thought you were gonna say there was an accident up ahead and you're distraction meant you slowed down and avoided it.

We were travelling in the car in winter a few years back, the dog started acting up, like he was bursting for a pee, so we pulled into the next service station, let him out, he didn't actually have to go, so we got back in and set off again. Few miles up the road and we had to stop, traffic jam, we could see the front from where we were sitting, there had been a really nasty (fatal) accident involving several cars with the snow up ahead. We were probably a few minutes behind it, just about the length of time we stopped to let the dog out and get back on the road (complete finger in the air, I know). I don't believe it was a supernatural experience or anything, just a very fortunate coincidence.

I get the exact same thing as you

My nan loved lavender and we all randomly smell lavender bare in mind everyone in my family DESPISES lavender (except me) so there’s no reason that smell should randomly appear and disappear

Absolutely crap loads, but this is a family member one.

A couple of months after my Great Aunt died she phoned me. Her name and number came up on my mobile and I just automatically answered not thinking. I had helped empty her rental bungalow and contacted the phone company to inform them so there was no way someone could be using her number to call me.

The sound in the call was very crackly and staticy. In amongst it I very clearly heard her say "Why, hellooo" like Leslie Phillips as she always did . There were other noises that sounded like she was saying something else but I couldn't make it out then the line went dead. I tried to ring her back but just got an error message that the number was incorrect.

It was in the early days of smartphones so it might have been a weird glitch with my phone but that very much feels like clutching at straws.

Thesladenator@reddit

About 10 years ago now if not longer. I was at my nans house in her bungalow. It was 10pm at night and we were in the living room doing a jigsaw puzzle when we heard a loud crash from the kitchen.

We investigate and the tray with a glass jug on it has fallen on the floor and smashed. This tray and jug was pushed against the wall on the counter so it couldn't have just slipped off. Never had an explanation. The lady in the house before did die in the house tho.

Then at the house I grew up in, i was home alone one time as a teenager and heard a huge smash downstairs.

We had a mirror above the fireplace. The mirror was attached to a hook on the wall by a string. To get it off the wall you'd have to lift it upwards to lift the string off the hook.

Well it fell onto the pouffe and didn't smash and the string was intact - so it didn't break. The clock on the mantle was fine and so we're the pictures. It was like it had been lifted off. Scared me shitless and I hid in my room until my mum came home. She thought I'd taken it off the wall.

My thought was if it fell naturally the string would have snapped or the hook would be lose and able to spin around but it wasn't. Also this was verified later when at my mother in law's house a few years ago we were in her living room and her mirror fell off the wall above her fireplace. The string snapped and it slid straight down and crashed onto the mantle piece before falling forward. It broke everything on the mantle. So if the mirror at my old house had fallen it would have done the same.

Still cant explain it. My nan was always chill about the glass jug tho. But she worked in Barnes hospital in Manchester which was supposed to be haunted by a grey lady and she had seen some shit.

ImThatBitchNoodles@reddit

I don't really believe in paranormal in the traditional way, but I've had many things happen in our house before and I always try to find rational explanations.

A few examples (copy/pasted from a previous post):

I found open cupboards, my kid's socks spread around the room even though they stay in his wardrobe with child safety lock, in a box, and everyone was asleep at that time. My rechargeable lamp flew out of the charger. His toys always start playing on their own. Some days the lights flicker a lot and things keep falling off from places they shouldn't fall from as they are securely placed. The doorbell went off a few times even though the plug was disconnected and the TV turns itself on.

The most memorable thing that happened to me was when I was reading and looked at my phone to see the time. It was a little over 2.30pm and I made a mental note of this because I had to take some medication at 3pm. I looked back at my book and felt like I had to check the time again. It was 4.22pm. Almost 2 hours gone in less than a minute and I couldn't remember any of it. I was in the same spot, in the same position, book still up in my hand and on the same page, dog still sleeping on my legs. I didn't have a seizure or anything like that. I just blinked and the time was gone. I still can't explain that one. My family looked at me like I was crazy when I explained what just happened and told me I was just there, reading the whole time.

[-]

LayingInBracken@reddit

When I was in elementary school, I would frequently "float" above my own body, near the ceiling and overlooking the whole class. I saw everything that was going on from a top down position. Couldn't zoom around or anything, I just hovered. I can't remember if I zoned out while that happened or if I continued working on the coursework. But I was definitely conscious and not asleep.

calatheaandcats@reddit

I posted this in a comment on Reddit years ago but I was a 21 year old graduate and I had moved back home and enjoyed my last summer of freedom before entering the world of work. My parents had placed locks on mine and my older brothers door to allow us some privacy now we were older. I locked my room with my key every night, mainly due to paranoia about a break in. One night I locked my door with my key from the inside as per usual and didn't wake up the next day until the whole household had left for work. I went to open my door and the key was gone. I was locked in and couldn't get out. I looked all over my room and couldn't find the key anywhere. My dog was on the other side barking and I began to panic. I called my mum and explained what had happened and she made her way back home to me fully expecting that I just hadn't looked properly. When she arrived back about an hour later she came up to my room to find the key on the other side of the door locking me in. To this day I still cannot explain how my key ended up on the outside when I had locked myself in the night before. My parents took all the keys from the inside doors and replaced the locks with bolt locks.

My mum felt such guilt after her father's death because she felt she didn't do enough (she absolutely did but she still blames herself).

Anyway she had a dream where he came to her and hugged her, she said even when she woke up she could still smell him and a warm vanilla smell in her room. She said it felt like he was telling her everything was ok.

My mum isn't spiritual either. It gave her a lot of peace.

Sometimes when I get up in the morning my back room downstairs will smell heavily of cigarette smoke nobody smokes in our house. Last year I had some work done on my house and one of the men doing the work was telling me he used to go out with a girl for a bit when he was at school and she used to live in my house in the mid 70's and he mentioned she had an old grandad who would sit in the kitchen chainsmoking woodbines. The kitchen would have been my back room before the extention was built. I had not mentioned the smoke smells to him.

MaltedMilkBiscuits10@reddit

At my in laws they'll have a sudden smell of cigarettes and coal.

It's usually accompanied by my father in law shouting because something unexplained has happened like something has fallen on the floor or a light bulb blows.

No one's religious, superstitious etc but there used to be a old man that died in that house about 30 years ago. Theres no fireplace left and the house hasn't burnt coal since the 80s apparently. No one's smoked in that house since the day he died either. It was taken back to bare brick so no materials left the could hold the smell. Chimney was removed too.

The cigarette smell is strong for all about 10 seconds.

My father in law said it smells like woodbines that haven't been for sale for a long time. I must admit, it doesn't smell like any current tobacco or cigarettes on sale today.

Me being pecimistic and looking for a logical answer, I always say there must be some sort of draught coming from an undisturbed area around the old fireplace but my father in law is pretty insistent it was all removed and no way a odor that strong can come through plasterboard and if it did, no way would it be just a 10 second burst.
