Think you\u2019re brave enough to read on?<\/p>\n We checked in, and my 5-year-old son went to the bathroom. He giggled loudly and returned with a bright red bra in his hand. \u201cMom, look what I found!\u201d I snatched it from him and rushed into the bathroom. I couldn\u2019t believe it when I saw a man\u2019s jacket there. To my horror, a voice coughed from inside the shower: \u201cUh\u2026 housekeeping?\u201d I screamed, grabbed my son, and ran out of the room. Turns out, the hotel double-booked our room, and we had just walked in on another guest! The front desk profusely apologized, upgrading us to a suite.<\/p>\n I was outside playing with friends one afternoon\u2026we were around 9 or 10. We lived in a quiet area. As we were playing, we noticed a man in a truck drive by over and over again. Each time he passed my friends yard, he would drive slowly. We then realized that this man was recording us with one of those old hand held recorders. It freaked us out. We ran inside their house and called his mom. She told them they needed to stay inside and that I should go home. I tried explaining that my mom wasn\u2019t home at the moment..but she still made me leave. I lived about a mile or two down the road. I\u2019ve never ran so fast in my life. I was terrified that man was going to find me as I was running back home. When my mom found out what happened\u2026she was super pissed off my friends mom hadn\u2019t allowed me to stay at their house until she could come pick me up. \u00a9 heylookitsatyler \/ Reddit<\/p>\n One time I was coming in from seeing a movie, and my dad called me over to our computer. He said, \u201cWhen did you go to Costa Rica with your school? They just posted a group picture with you in it.\u201d I hadn\u2019t gone on the trip with the community college I was attending and had no idea what he was talking about. Not sure if this is considered paranormal, but when I get fevers as a child, I would always, in my fugue and pain-infused state, hear a man counting in a very deep voice. He would count from 1 and up; as the numbers get larger, the voice gets louder and more intense. It started to get less frequent as I grew older and now I do not experience it anymore. I\u2019ve brushed it aside as a recurring nightmare but only recently, I\u2019ve learned that my sister would experience the exact same thing when she was younger as well. \u00a9 sherpaderpaderp \/ Reddit<\/p>\n I was about 16, in the car with my mom, and we were just chatting while she was driving. Afterwards, we stopped talking, and I kind of zoned out. All of a sudden, an image came into my head, sort of like a memory of me or someone as a child getting onto the bus. A few years ago one night at around 3AM my wife and I were sleeping and I feel myself slowly waking up from a really deep sleep. My eyes started lifting up and as soon as they focused on the lamp on my dresser it slid off and shattered on the floor. My wife and I quickly sat up and looked at each other horrified at the startling noise. We agreed we would clean it in the morning and went back to sleep. The next morning when we woke up the lamp was at the foot of the bed (about 5 feet from where it fell) completely in tact and not broken at all. We are still trying to make sense of it. \u00a9 nedflandersz \/ Reddit<\/p>\n We were in a 150-year-old family house on Cape Cod that my sister-in-law had refurbished. She was talking about how she heard music there when she was a kid and couldn\u2019t go to sleep. Just at that moment, a light bulb from a chandelier fell onto the kitchen table right in front of her. \u00a9 sosorrynoname \/ Reddit<\/p>\n This lasted for a year when I was 9 years old. Whenever my home telephone rang, I could always tell whether it was one of my specific friends calling or not, even though I didn\u2019t know she was about to call that day. I\u2019d been living alone for less than a week. I got some Chinese take-out and was eating in front of the TV. I finished my meal and cracked open the fortune cookie. It read \u201cYou will have a visitor tonight, lock your door.\u201d There were no visitors that night, but the memory still haunts me. \u00a9 captainklaus \/ Reddit<\/p>\n This happened in the \u201990s when my daughter was 16. She went on a road trip with her dad\u2019s new family. On the 5th day, I got a postcard from her saying they\u2019d be staying an extra 2 days. When she got back, she apologized for not telling me. Certain stories linger not because they\u2019re gory or loud\u2014but because they don\u2019t make sense. It\u2019s that unsettling mystery that makes them truly chilling.

\nBut no joke, the guy he was referring to looked just like me, down to the white Polo that I was wearing a lot at the time. It was the most surreal experience I\u2019ve ever had. \u00a9 Capt_GingerBeard93 \/ Reddit<\/p>\nStory 4<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\nIt was so vivid that I thought my mom had said something. When I asked her, \u201cHey, did you say something about a bus stop?\u201d she replied, \u201cNo, but I was just thinking that this area here is where I used to get on the bus to go to school when I was a kid.\u201d

\nMy home telephone was one of the older models that didn\u2019t show whose number was calling. So when it rang, and I got the premonition it was her, I\u2019d always tell the rest of my family that it was her for sure. I never guessed nor got it wrong. \u00a9 Waitwhyyyyyyy \/ Reddit<\/p>\nStory 10<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\nStory 12<\/strong><\/h1>\n
\nI said, \u201cBut you did! I got your postcard!\u201d She lost all color in her face and said, \u201cWe didn\u2019t send anything. We decided not to because it would\u2019ve taken more than 2 days to reach you anyway.\u201d I was so confused.
\nI went to grab the postcard from my closet, but I couldn\u2019t find it. I was 100% sure I\u2019d placed it in my pink box where I keep all my postcards, but that one wasn\u2019t there. After all these years, I still get goosebumps whenever I think about it. I\u2019m certain I saw the postcard and her handwriting\u2014I can even remember the details on the card very clearly.<\/p>\n
