Unexplained TRUE Stories
1. This mystery handprint:
"My girlfriend got out of the shower and called me into the bathroom to show me something. There was a very strange, distinct handprint on the mirror. I lived alone and she was the only adult that had been to my house in about two years. We each placed our handprints on the sides of the mystery handprint for reference and neither look anything like the mystery print. I still have no idea how it got there."
u/Nardelan
2. This missing belt:
"I was once changing pants in my room before work and I took off my belt. After putting on my other pair of pants, I went to put my belt back on, but the belt was gone. No one else was in the room and I spent a good 10 minutes looking for it. I had simply set it on the floor. It’s been 10 years and I’ve never seen that belt again."
u/JonesE27
3. This pink room peril:
"So this still baffles me, but when I was a kid, we moved into a new house, and while the realtor was showing us around I saw a lady sitting at a white dresser in a pink room. She even waved at me. When I asked my mom who it was, she just brushed me off because she was trying to listen to the realtor. The weirdest part of this was that, once we moved in, we found that there were no rooms painted pink in the house. My family just brushed the whole thing off, despite my being adamant of what I saw. Anyway, fast-forward a few years, I'm in high school at this point, and we start renovating the house. While stripping the wallpaper in the master bedroom, we found out it was painted pink. This still low-key freaks me out."
4. This jump back:
"When I was 12 years old, I went up to Lake Tahoe with my friend and his parents, who had a condo in Incline Village. One day, the two of us are walking to the bowling alley and had to cross a street at a crosswalk. Right after we stepped off the curb, a car came really close to hitting us. All of a sudden, we're both up on the curb, like we were lifted a few feet. We both looked at each other strangely:
'Did you jump?'
'No, did you?'
'No.'
We spent the next hour kind of dumbfounded. It didn't feel like a shove or any use of force. We were in the street, then we weren't."
u/Plumhawk
5. This reoccurring nightmare:
"When I was in elementary school, I used to have the same dream every weekend starting on Saturday (when I would go to sleep) and then waking up in the middle of the night (on Sunday morning) and throwing up. The dream was always a bunch of numbers. Not even anything happening, just a bunch of random, jumbled-up numbers all over the place.
I never understood why that happened. The same dream would happen on the same night every week, and I would throw up every single time. I always think about it and wonder what it meant, or if it was just some weird coincidence."
u/alecaskye
6. This nonexistent memory:
"I have a vivid memory of being at the Statue of Liberty as a child, on my dad’s shoulders, seeing the skyline of NYC. I remember the ferry we took, I remember what we ate for lunch that day, etc. I’ve always talked about it, but my family denies I ever went to NYC. I didn’t go for the first time until I was 23, but strangely enough when I went, I remembered everything
just how it had been when I was there with my dad."
u/dryshampooforyou
7. This near-death experience:
"When I was 10 years old, I didn't want to go to school one day. I faked a stomachache so my grandmother would let me stay home. I've always been a bad liar, so my grandmother tried to call my bluff. She told me if I was too sick for school, then she would be scheduling me a doctor's appointment. Three hours later, I was rushed into emergency surgery.
My fake illness was actually appendicitis, and it was so inflamed that if I hadn't come in that day my appendix would have ruptured, potentially killing me. I felt 100% fine that day. Faking being sick saved my life."
u/jnoway826
8. This (literal) dream come true:
"This one is strange to me because it was so long ago that I'm convinced I have to be remembering things wrong.
I was a young kid and, at the grocery store, I saw this small toy helicopter that I really wanted for some reason. I, of course, didn't buy it, but the memory of it was stuck in my head. A few nights later, I had a dream that I was playing with the helicopter, but I realized it was a dream. In the dream, stupid young me thought that, if I put it under my pillow, it would still be there when I woke up.
After that, I woke up and eagerly checked under the pillow. It was right where I left it in the dream. As a kid, I wasn't surprised to find it there, but years later I still have no clue how the toy helicopter actually got underneath the pillow."
—u/Rawhited
9. And this other (literal) dream come true:
"When I was in primary school, there was all of these cups in the cafeteria, which were filled with milk every lunch. Red, green, blue but only one yellow cup. Everyone would fight to get the yellow
(Continued on page 14)
cup like it was the holy grail, and it had been that way for years.
One night, I had a dream that the cafeteria had gotten more yellow cups in and, low and behold, the next day there were hundreds of yellow cups."
u/astrologicalfoxx
10. This ghostly guest:
"My dad owned a small garden shop, so I'd stay behind the checkout after school until the shop closed. That was until I saw a tall man wearing all black (like a trench coat) walking past my dad and smiling at me before going into a staff only area. I jumped up to stop him, even though I was only seven. This back area was filled with new shipments. I turned the corner, but nobody is there. There was nowhere he could've gone.
I ask my dad to check the CCTV after closing, but it's only shown me jumping up and running out of frame. I never felt comfortable there again."
u/bariton3
11. This little psychic:
"I swear my 4-year-old can read my mind or we think on the same wavelength sometimes. I’ve randomly thought of a specific food (like a specific type of ice cream, which we rarely have) and he'll ask me to get it, or I’ll be thinking about my mom and he’ll ask, 'Can we go to grandma's?'"
u/bc_poop_is_funny
12. This inexplicable prediction:
"I turned to a person who I barely knew and said, 'My sister is getting engaged right now,' without having the intent of speaking to them at all. He politely asked me why I said that, and I had to just shake my head and say, 'I don't know.'

A few days later I found out that, sure enough, at that exact moment on the far side of the world, my sister had said, 'Yes' to Mr. Right. I hadn't even known she was dating."
u/bookeater
13. This lost time:
"I used to fence. I was at a tournament once and had just started a bout against a competitor. You win the bout by being the first to 5 points. I score what I believe to be first point, but the official indicates the match is over and I've won.
I stood there, confused for a second, but my opponent seems to agree that I've won, salutes, approaches for a handshake. I go along with it. I check the scorecard and it says I've won 5-2. In total, I lost probably four or five minutes of time. It hasn't happened to me since (to the best of my knowledge), but it's been 20 years and I still wonder what happened."
u/wickedpixel1221
15. This real world Carrie:
"When my daughter was little, whenever she would get upset, something in the kitchen would randomly break. It happened way too many times to be coincidental, and the things that broke did so in inexplicable ways.
I clearly remember one instance very early in the morning standing in the kitchen, telling her she couldn’t have cake from the night before. She immediately looked angry and I heard a weird 'plink' sound inside the cupboard. I opened it to find the plate on the top of the stack was cracked in several places. No signs of this in later years. She’s 24 now and I often allude to this and remind her boyfriend not to piss her off."
u/inkswamp
16. This strange ability:
"Several times a year, I'll suddenly get a thought that it's been a long time (usually months) since I last spoke with a particular friend or relative then I will get a voice call or an email from that person within a few hours. I can't explain it, but I never tell them about it because I fear losing this strange ability that I have."
Grell, who went by the name William "Shorty" Dunn during his years in the Princeton area, helped Bill Miner rob the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1906. Paroled after serving nine years in the BC Penitentiary, he reverted to his birth name and moved to Ootsa Lake, where he became a model citizen. He drowned in the Tahtsa River in June 1927.

This was only discovered after the invention of the plane because the indentation is invisible from the ground. 2. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt. 3. King Ferdinand of Spain. 4. 27. 5. This civilization started around 10,000 B.C. and is located in parts of present-day Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, Turkey, and Syria. 6. Monticello, located in Virginia. 7. Robert Ballard discovered the wreck of the Titanic on September 1, 1985 with the help of unmanned submersible Argo. 8. Archimedes, upon discovering the principle of buoyancy. 9. New Zealand, in 1893. 10. Henry VIII was married to six wives: Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr. He had Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard beheaded.
