When I was 14, there was a quiet boy in my class— he was a true genius. One day, he vanished. The police couldn’t find him. His parents became recluses and barely left the house24 years later, I was shocked to see him on TV. Same name and face but older. Turns out he was recruited by the government at a young age due to his exceptional intelligence. Everything was top secret; his parents knew he wasn’t truly missing, but had to maintain the illusion of his disappearance.

Now, years later, he had left that life behind and was featured in a documentary. My heart skipped when I found out about this, everyone in our town had ended up thinking he was dead and now, just like that, he was on nationaStory 3

In the summer of 2012, my daughter was 2 years old. I lost two great-uncles that summer, both unexpectedly for different reasons. On both occasions, my daughter specifically acted startled, looked into a corner of the room where nobody was, and commented that there was “a man in the room.”

She did this both times before we got a phone call but after each uncle’s passing. I was with her for one of these incidents, and my mom was with her for the other. I like to think that my great-uncles were stopping in to check on us, but who knows. It’s an unexplained mystery until we know for sure. © SecretAgentMan_007 / Reddit

It was just me; my sister was feeding animals, and my mom and dad were at work. © jessdb19 / Redditl.

Story 6
In my sophomore algebra class, a kid named Brian was drawing with his friends on the whiteboard. We were not friends, and we barely talked. He was drawing a dragon, and I was on the other side of the room, halfway listening.He said, “Instead of fire, I’m going to make him breathe…” and in my head, I thought, “Hmm, it would be cool if he breathed cupcakes.” And then Brian looked at me and said, “Cupcakes.”
We just looked at each other. And he knew. And I knew. It was no coincidence. © quiteatingd***s / Reddit

I had a habit of tapping my nails on the wall behind me when I was reclined on the couch. One day, something tapped back.
