These Creepy and Unexplained Encounters Will Give You Goosebumps

24. “Then Let’s Play”

Well, not the scariest thing ever but when I was 11 my family and I moved to another town because of my dad’s job. We were only going to stay there for a year, and thankfully we were given a house in a closed community of about 20 houses made for army officials and their families.

So one day my parents are out and they take my baby sister, my older sister is in a friend’s house and I’m left alone with our dog for like 2 hours. I was playing in my room when I remember that the black socks for my Monday uniform(kind of like a suit you wear on Mondays) are drying in the backyard. I go there with my dog and utter out loud “I wish there was something to do” and not a moment later I hear some young voice say very clearly “then let’s play”

I turn around to see my normally hyperactive Golden sitting and looking at me like nothing has happened, I freak out immediately and ran upstairs to my parent’s bedroom, I turn on the TV and hide under the covers until my family arrived, they saw me sweating, scared and paranoid at this point. They never figured out what happened but tried to make me feel better.

Now the part that freaks me is that each of the houses in the community was surrounded by 3-meter tall cinderblock walls, the place where my socks were was next to a wall separating from another house, one that had no children, the other house to the left was over 20 meters away and behind another wall, and the wall behind my house separated us from nothing but a steep hill.

There was no one who could have said that, and to this day it freaks me out every time I think of it.

25. Every Danger Bell

When I was 17 I had just gotten off my shift at Wendy’s and was sitting in the parlor for my ride when a middle-aged man approached me about a job offer, he asked me questions about my job and Wendy’s then told me about the job he was offering. He said there were other girls and they all lived in like a dorm and the job came with benefits, it was in an office setting and other things I don’t remember but the entire time every danger bell in my body was going off full blast it felt like my body became a vibrator. I don’t remember if after the multiple rejections from me he left or if my ride had come and I zoomed outta there. The only thing I can think to this day is “Did I almost get sex trafficked?”

26. The Rainbow Eyes

When I was about 5 I was going down the stairs of my house when suddenly there was some sort of mist in front of me. It had what I can only assume were eyes, and all the colors from the room were being pulled into individual strands and then sucked into the “eyes” like a black hole.

I screamed, and it disappeared through the wall to the other side of the house where my younger brother was. He screamed shortly after I did. My mom was nearer to him, so she went to him first.

When I got into the room where he was he was really scared and he kept on saying “the eyes, the rainbow eyes.” We hadn’t talked, so he didn’t know what I had just seen.

My parents knew a priest so they brought him over and he did some sort of a blessing. We never had any issues after that. It was definitely very creepy.

27. Smarter Than Everyone

There was a kid in another class at my school in 6th grade that was a genius. I don’t mean like, oh he’s really smart cause doesn’t need to do the homework and still gets 100s. Like he was doing advanced calculus with a local college professor after school. This kid was smarter than everyone.

So one day our computer system for the entire school goes down. (I was in a poorer area at the time so this was normal). This occurred many times so normally it would affect us cause we barely used laptops and such. The only class that was affected was the computer class. This kid was in the computer class.

3 or so hours later when I’m in class with him during social studies. 3 guys with FBI jackets on and our local chief escorted him out of the building. We were told nothing, and the parents were told nothing. It never hit the news. To this day we have no clue what he did. Every single teacher I’ve asked about this says they were also told nothing.

I haven’t seen the kid since and I can’t find a trace of him going to another school or ending up in trouble. He just fell off the face of the earth with his parents. (Yeah I forgot to mention that parents also disappeared and no one really looked for them after a month or so)

I still think about that kid.

28. She Said Thank You

I (F 27) was training to be a nurse. Here in Germany, you have to visit and practice at a lot of places. I was working at a hospice, a place where terminally ill patients can stay until their last day. I was there for 8 weeks and was in my last year of studying. I was doing a round, checking on everyone, making sure they are not in pain, need any help or just a talk. One patient, a woman who was there for days, had different breathing and I called her husband who was in the group room (don’t know how to exactly describe it). She had her final breaths, while her husband was holding her hand. It was peaceful and I know she was gone. At this moment another patient made a call (we had phones, which would ring if someone requested a nurse). I excused myself and left her room. Deep breath and going to the patient who was calling. I entered and smiled “how can I help you?”. The man told me his guest would like to know where the exit was. I was a little confused, because he hadn’t had any visitors that day yet, so I asked: “who do you mean?” Maybe I just didn’t see anyone, because I was with half an hour with the dying patient. And he answered: “Well this lady here. She wants to know, where she could get out”. I went pale, blood falling to my knees. I was shocked. I stuttered while opening the window: “ahm. err. here is the way to the balcony and right to left, down the stairs is the door. I’ll get you some water.” Left the room, and was hardly breathing, leaning against the wall. Was standing there for 5min. One of the nurses saw me and asked if I was ok. So I told her what just happened. All she did was smile and say: “yes, that kind of stuff happens a lot here.”

A few hours later I asked the man if his guest found the way out. Him: “Yes, she did and said thank you for everything.”

Had to process that for days, weeks, and months. I still can’t believe it. But I am sure since then, that we carry a soul.

29. He Was Never Home

Last night was no different, he left home around 8:15 pm. Our daughter, age 11, and I decided to make it a movie night. Around 11 pm, I heard keys in my backdoor and the usual sounds my husband makes when he comes home. I creep out to the kitchen to make sure it was him, and it was. He told me he needed to grab his knee compression sleeve, walks down the hall, says hi to our daughter as he passes the living room, and goes upstairs. He came back down, gave me a kiss and left again.

We finished our movie and went to bed. In the morning when he got home I made a joking comment about him forgetting his knee sleeve. He was genuinely confused as I recalled the previous night. Our daughter confirmed everything I said and he still was acting confused. I pulled up our security motion camera on my phone to show him when he popped in quickly. But there was no footage from the night before, or any other night, of him coming home after he’s left for work.

My daughter and I both heard him, saw him, and I touched him. But he was never home during that time. Nothing else out of the ordinary happened that night. We seriously have no idea what happened.

30. I Saw My Body

I fell asleep on the couch and got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. Once I got there I realized I didn’t have to go. I headed towards the bedroom but decided to turn around and go back downstairs to the couch. When I got there I saw my body still asleep curled up on the sofa. I don’t remember what happened after, and I know it had to have just been a dream. But, it still freaks me out to this day to think about it.

31. Mad Episode

We used to have a night out every Christmas with the lads from high school. We went back to one of the lad’s houses and were all drunk and having a good time when one of the lads pointed into the kitchen and said “who’s that” – the kitchen was like a box room you could see the whole room from the doorway!

I had my back to the wall where it was and turned to look in, the lights were off and there was no one there. We all looked and said what are you looking at. He was adamant and just stayed sat pointing and just said “no who are those two there”

The lad whose house it was looking in turned on the light and again there was no one there, and we all said are you ok, what are you on about?

He said “look that fella is leaning on the worktop and the other is leaning and pointing and laughing at me” – we all kept saying there was no one there. After a back and forth for about 10 minutes, he was describing what they were wearing etc and then the lad who could see these people realised we couldn’t and started freaking out, tearing up and shaking uncontrollably saying he had to get out of the house. He was shaking so much that we had to put his shoes on.

Once he had gone and being drunk (no drugs, that we knew of!) we just laughed it off as him being off on one but the lad whose house it was said he described his uncle and grandad who had long since died EXACTLY how they used of stand and what clothes they were wearing.

I wouldn’t have believed it if I wasn’t there, and honestly, I still think he just had a mad episode. We have all met his grandad and uncle before they died so it could have been some mental moment he had. To this day anytime we mention it he refuses to talk about it and doesn’t even entertain any notion of it. Like I said, it sounds far-fetched but that is 100% true, I don’t believe in ghosts etc and still think he had a “moment” but it was genuinely weird and unsettling!

32. One Last Time

I was living in Boston. I woke up at 3 am or so by my cat jumping up on my bed and curling in between my calf muscles and going to sleep. My cat would do this every night since I was 5 years old. That was his spot. It was something I was very familiar with.

Thing is, My cat was living with my parents on the west coast. So I couldn’t understand what the heck I just felt. But I knew it was my cat.. I just figured I was dreaming.

Got a call from my parents the following morning that my cat died around midnight the previous night. 3 hours behind since I was on the east coast. Guess that was my cat traveling to Boston to come to see me one last time.

33. Perfect A

Normally I don’t believe in ghosts or the sixth sense, but after experiencing this first-hand, I sometimes have doubts about my very own belief. So this happened back when I was taking a test in middle school. Normally, we were given enough paper to complete our test; however, on that day, I had this weird sudden urge to ask for extra paper. So I went up to the teacher’s desk while only halfway through with my assignment. And out of nowhere, the ceiling fan fell right at the spot I was sitting at. I got called into the principal office later and they gave me an A on the test with the promise not to let this be known to anybody. Up until this very day, I still don’t know what exactly went through my mind that day but I do know I am still alive thanks to it.

34. No Human There

When I was a teenager I worked at a grocery store. I had just gotten a root canal done and was talking to my friend about it during downtime. An older man (who I have never seen before) injected himself into the conversation and told me that root canals were bad and then told me that they did a bunch of dental experiments on rabbits and they all died. He then wrote down a website and gave it to me to see for myself. The website was a bunch of conspiracy b*llsh*t. But what was so off-putting was the guy had no expression on his face while he was talking. There was no light behind his eyes. He looked so pale and off and it freaked me out. As bat-sh*t crazy as it sounds saying this, I don’t think he was human.
