While some strange events have clear explanations, others leave you questioning what really happened. The true stories we’ve collected today will stay on your mind long after you finish reading.

The Story:

I woke up at 3 a.m. to get some water. I heard my son’s voice coming from his room, saying, “Mom, can you turn off the light?” Without thinking, I switched it off. As I got back to bed, I realized… my son wasn’t home; he was on a camping trip. I rushed to his room and froze—it was empty. I was sure I had heard his voice, or at least someone speaking in a sleepy tone. When I told my husband, he just laughed and said it was probably all in my head, but I know what I heard. That moment still freaks me out.
