Even if we can explain most events, some instances nevertheless leave us dumbfounded. A group of people started to share unusual and incomprehensible events online. Their stories included finding out a friend’s secret in a dream, seeing a letter from the future, and forgetting an entire day. These real-life occurrences sound like movie scripts, but they occurred.

Story 1: “I know who you are.”

“I once stood in line at Target. In the checkout line, there was a lady and her (I guess) 3-year-old child in front of me. I’ve never met them before in my life. The toddler was riding in the grocery cart, and the mother moved forward to properly unload it. The child stares at me, smiles, laughs, and twice speaks my first name. I have an uncommon first name, which made things much stranger.” mycenea1961 / Reddit

Story 2: A complete recollection

“As an adult, I was telling my mother about this place I was at in a dream. It was brown, with two bedrooms, two levels, and L-shaped staircases. I went into great depth regarding this house in my dream.

Anyway, it appears that the house I described was where I was born. Not like “born, born.” I was born in a hospital, although my family had lived in the house for two years before my birth, and we all moved out when I was 7 or eight months old.

At first, I assumed my brain had gotten it from images I’d seen, but the amount of detail was not visible in any pictures we had of me at such a young age. The background was mostly obscured by close-ups. My best opinion to this day is that my brain is recalling very old and obscure memories; other from that, I’m not sure how I knew anything about this house, let alone the layout, furniture arrangement, etc.” AnxiousRiddle / Reddit

Story 3: A message from the future

“A few years ago, while my wife was pregnant with our second kid and about to give birth, my mother came to visit with us. One early evening, Mom requested a pen, paper, and envelope. She wrote on the paper, sealed it in an envelope, and delivered it to me. ‘Put this in your pocket and do not open it. ‘You will know when,’ she added.

Thirty minutes later, my wife said that she needed to go to the hospital because she was in labor. So we did, and 9 hours later, at 3:45 a.m., our second daughter was born. She weighed 8 pounds, 11 ounces and measured 20 inches long.

In the days before cell phones, I called my mother from the hospital to tell her the news. She answered the phone and said, ‘Before you say anything, open the envelope.’ I did. It said:

‘Girl 3:45 AM, 8 pounds, 11 ounces, 20 inches.’

I saved that paper for years. When my mother died, I went to the document safe where we stored it, but it was gone.” GullyF / Reddit

Story 4: Ghost lady

“When my son was just three years old, he came into my room and told me that ‘the lady’ was in his and his sister’s rooms. I was half asleep and dismissed it, telling him to join me in my bed.

So he went into my bed, but every few minutes he would wake me up to tell me about ‘the lady.’ Then he mentioned that she was at my bedroom door. So, to show him there was no lady and that we should simply go back to sleep, I take him up and walk him out of my room in the dark.

We are standing in the hall, and I say, ‘See, there is no lady.’ He gestures down the hall, where there is nothing to see, and says, ‘Mama, she’s right there. That’s the lady! And this is HER house.’

There was nothing, not even a shadow, where he pointed. I just tried not to show how much he was scaring me out and said, ‘Okay, she must be a good lady’ and took him back to my bed, where he instantly went asleep, and I stayed awake for hours thinking that this ‘lady’ in my 100-year-old apartment must be hanging out and watching me sleep.” Kookenhaken / Reddit
