I tried to call them the next day a bunch of times but they wouldn't pick up. I mean, at least have the balls to talk it out with me. I'm still very confused but I have blocked their number. I have no idea who it is.

Odd Happening

14 Upvotes

So I'd like to hear some opinions on this odd situation that happened to me this weekend.

I have outdoor cameras for security, although I live in a decent neighborhood and have only had to use their photo one time in close to a decade. Better safe than sorry in my mind. They automatically activate at 9 PM and trigger on motion, and then turn off at 7 AM. I check them in the morning and 99.9% of it has been insects, passing cars, etc.

Sunday morning I checked and the one over my garage, on the right (while facing towards) side of my house had triggered around midnight, capturing someone who came into frame like they had come out from beside my house. I live in a neighborhood, and there is a house close beside me on either side (like 30 feet away, not 3, so a bit of yard space between us) but that side of my house only has the gate to my back yard. The neighbor's gate is on the far side of their house, so there would be no reason to go into that section of yard, barring yard work or doing something to their fence. The video it captured was someone walking away from my house, but stepping onto my driveway and walking past my car to do so. They didn't slow, they didn't reach out/look at my car, they just walked away from my house while walking down my driveway. My back yard has a camera above my door that catches a large chunk of my back yard, but it doesn't cover the gate so theoretically someone could have come in the gate, but I have nothing of value near the gate, or in the entire yard for that matter. The back of the head looks a LOT like the teenager that lives next door with his parents. Same hair cut/texture and height and the shirt looks vaguely like one I've seen him wear.

However, if it WAS the neighbor kid, why would he have not walked to his left, towards his house, instead of to his right and onto my driveway? What purpose would he have had being between our houses in that spot in the first place? I've come up with two vague ideas, the first being he's smoking weed and since there are no windows on that side of his house, he's going where his parents can't see him. The other is that he was in his back yard, and somehow something went over the fence and since the fence between our yard has seen better days, he made the smart choice and walked around his house and into my yard to get it, although I would have expected his return path to have hugged his house closer instead of going onto my driveway. Of course, this also presume it WAS the neighbor kid. I guess it could have been someone wandering the neighborhood who isn't from here, but in that case if they're going into yards that deep, they're looking for stuff to steal, so I would have expected him to check out my car.

The neighbor kid comes out and works on his truck from time to time, so my thought is to maybe just ask him if it was him the next time he's doing that. I'm not mad at him, especially since there's nothing for him to screw with on the side of my house, and what he did on camera was just walk away. I'm just super confused why he was there in the first place. I'm not looking to get him in trouble with his parents, since he wasn't doing anything other than walking away from my house, so I don't want to go over and ask them if it was him.

Thoughts?

The other day I was rekindling with a friend and wowww. Us heing together brought some memories back. One being- on April fools day about 12 years ago, she, another friend at the time, and I were leaving her house. She lived in the fancy neighborhood in our small town, and it being the fancy neighborhood, it was surrounded by nothing but corn/bean fields. About 10 miles from town itself, and each road to town being sketchy until you finally made it to the main one.
So we’re walking out, it’s dusk, and we see this lady appear from the field. She looks disheveled, hair a mess and clothes ripped and dirty. She approaches us, and we seeing her approach and we naturally get nervous, as we’re teens at this time. Luckily, at the same time, the others friends mom pulls up in her car to pick us up or drop something off- don’t remember. But she comes up to us and her moms yells from the car for her to come to her, not us.
The strange woman listened and approached her mom, asking where the road was.
Her mom just responds, from her drivers seat- “you’re standing on it ma’am”
the strange woman looks terrified by the answer and my friends mom says for us to just get in the car.
We get in and as she drives away, the girl is no where to be seen.
There’s no crops up at this time of year, so you can see everything for a few miles.
What was this???

I was watching a movie, in the seat next to me there was a boy 12-13 ish... He kept looking at me throughout the movie. After the movie I had to pee and I met him again while washing my hands. As I was exiting the theater, he smiled again I smiled back and said bye. HE WALKED OVER TO ME AND GAVE ME A HUG (4 -5 SECOND LONG) - I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS KID BEFORE. - he said "love u bye"

My husband helped me but it wasn't my husband.

About three months ago I (46f) contracted Covid and then was diagnosed with pneumonia. The doctor gave me a fast acting inhaler if needed. I did have some wheezing but nothing too serious.

About a week after the pneumonia diagnosis I was asleep in bed and jolted awake. I couldn't breathe, literally just could not catch my breath. Then my husband came though our bedroom door and started rubbing my chest and telling me to breathe. I was able to finally catch my breath and started breathing again, abet a little shaky.

I closed my eyes for just a second and then looked up to tell my husband thank you. He was however not there. I though maybe he had went to another room. So still a little shaky I get out of bed and start looking for him. He's nowhere to be found and his car is not in the driveway. I call him and he had left almost an hour earlier and said I was sleeping just fine when he left.

So any advice? I know I wasn't sleeping when this happened and I remembered everything about it to this day? I mean I almost feel like I might be losing my mind here so any help would be great.

Chasing a feeling

2 Upvotes

So I'm a M30, and I've been experiencing a feeling of wanting to move away somewhere but its the feeling part that stumps me. Let me elaborate, I have a great family, great friends I'm not depressed and have a very good job. The problem is every now and then I get this intense feeling that I need to live somewhere else and experience that FEELING I've been chasing for. Its so odd like it feel like a change would be good but the place I move to needs to feel the way I'm feeling. Its going to sound dumb but I want to live in a gloomy city with not too many people living in it and connect with them. It feels gloomy, grey, like nothing is going on in that city but yet you find people and things to feel. Idk if I'm explaining this right. I would love some help with this. Do I sound weird? Help.

¿Alguna vez han sentido una conexión inexplicable con su madre?

5 Upvotes

​

Ayer, mientras fumaba , empecé a tener pensamientos bastante tristes sobre mí mismo. En medio de todo eso, sentí algo muy extraño, como si estuviera conectado con mi mamá de una manera profunda, como si pudiera sentir su sufrimiento. Ella tiene problemas del corazón y, por alguna razón, empecé a sentir que estaba sufriendo por mi culpa y en ese mismo momento, , como si mis decisiones y mi forma de ser le estuvieran causando dolor.

No sé cómo explicarlo exactamente. No fue simplemente pensar en ella o preocuparme por su salud. Fue una sensación de conexión emocional muy intensa, como si su sufrimiento y el mío estuvieran relacionados de alguna manera.

Me quedó dando vueltas la experiencia. Me hizo pensar en ese vínculo entre una madre y su hijo, y en si alguna vez otras personas han sentido algo parecido.

¿Les ha pasado algo así? ¿Han sentido alguna vez que podían percibir el sufrimiento de su madre, incluso sin que ella les dijera nada?

things that reappear

Hi everyone, I need an outside opinion about my situation because it's really starting to freak me out, even though I'm not someone who freaks out over just anything. To give you some context, I'm 19 and I've been in a relationship for two years. This summer, I went on vacation like every year, and as usual, I bought my boyfriend a bracelet to have as a souvenir—you know, it's really important to me. This bracelet was attached to a kind of tag and held on with a staple (I hope you understand). When I gave him the bracelet, we put them on at the same time, and then we removed the two staples holding it together and, of course, threw them in the trash (it might seem strange or completely insignificant). Except that for weeks and weeks now, I keep finding the same staple every day, and no matter how many times I throw it away, it always comes back. I find it extremely creepy because I don't have a stapler or anything like that at home, so there's no logical explanation for it. I might find a maximum of three a day, and I always end up throwing them away as soon as I leave the house. If anyone has an explanation for all this, please let me know. I'm all for that; I tend to take it as a sign, even though everything is going well with my boyfriend.

has anyone ever woken up to the sound of heavy breathing right next to them?

0 Upvotes

so something really strange happened tonight, and i’m still trying to make sense of it.

i suddenly woke up in the middle of the night because i could hear what sounded like heavy, deep breathing right next to me. i was sleeping alone, and it genuinely didn’t sound like my own breathing. i checked again to make sure i wasn’t imagining it, but i could still hear it.
the breathing continued for around a minute after i woke up before eventually stopping. i got so scared that i literally screamed and called my mom 😭

i’ve tried searching online for possible explanations, but most of what i found suggested that it might have been my own breathing or something related to waking up from sleep. i’ve never experienced anything like this before, so i’m really confused.

has anyone experienced something similar, or does anyone know what could explain this? i’m genuinely curious because i’ve never had anything like this happen before.

Strange encounters of the 4th kind.

I’ve been observing strange things happening the last month, dead squirrels appearing on the sidewalk has escalated into multiple doves dead, possums, and even a hawk dripping blood on the pavement.
They haven’t been hit by a vehicle because their bodies are still intact, directly on the sidewalk.
There’s either somebody with a nasty pellet gun shot hunting small game or something more sinister I can’t explain.
It’s actually kind of concerning how there are so many dead animals appearing on the stretch of sidewalk for no apparent reason.

I can't think of where to post this but it's very strange to me. An odd coincidence but I always see my same name when I play NYT strands.

It isn't even a super common name but it always shows up. It seems to be multiple times a month now.

Spooky phone incident

46 Upvotes

I was talking to my brother on my cell phone, and was telling him about one of my cats, Sam. When I picked Sam up from the pound, I also adopted his sister, Sarah. For the life of me, I could NOT remember her name (she’s been gone for years). No big deal, right? We talked a little more, and then I hung up. A few minutes later, I picked up my phone to text my brother something. I open my phone, open up my texts, and there in the reply box, ready to be sent, was one word: Sarah. WTF, right?? I live alone and the tv was off, so there’s no way my phone picked up the word from the microphone, or anything like that. It had been completely silent during those few minutes. How the heck was “Sarah” typed into my phone???

I just got a weird phone call from a place called "UCB" and it played castle crashers music and cat sounds? It only lasted 7 seconds before they hung up.

[AUDIO BELOW] I got this phone call from this number, and immediately I hear castle crashers music, and a bunch of cat meowing sound effects? I called the number back, it was an AI assistant, apparently they're debt collectors called United Collections Bureau? I did my best to recreate it, with similar sound effects, I think it's pretty close to what it sounded. I believe I also heard a voice like a kid giggling but I may have been imagining it so I didn't add it.
