Nothing to do with football or politics.

Just something that has happened to you that you don't understand.

I think everybody has at least one.

I was 12 and came upstairs to get something to eat and saw a old lady fading in and out.
I got a good look at her and told my Mom what she looked like and Moms jaw dropped.
I didn't feel afraid, but it scared me.

My Mom showed me a picture and asked me if that is who I saw.

It was.

When I was young I was in a automobile accident where I hit black ice, slid and hit a tree going fast. It was a big car with lap belts only. At impact things seemed to slow down in time greatly and I remember my head approaching the windshield what seemed like slowly. I was then in a tunnel with a bright light in the distance and what could have been beings at the lighted end. It then seemed something grabbed me and pulled back out of the tunnel (it was the lap belt). I walked away from a totally wrecked car without a scratch. I am not a big believer in the supernatural, so I chalked it up to when your brain thinks it is going to die, it does freaky stuff. You hear about the lighted tunnel a lot. I know a young woman who actually died - flat lined in the hospital and they brought her back. She is fine now and I told her my story and asked her what it was like when she was "dead". She said she has no memory of anything like that happening, but then she was not conscious before she flat lined.

This past memorial day weekend we had 3 generations of my family (I'm in the middle generation) at my beach house. I go outside and see my 75 year mother working our small garden with my niece...my mother is in a short sun dress and bends over to plant something with her back facing me...that is when I notice she is not wearing underwear...somethings really defy explanation

When I was about 9, I was with some neighbor kids, and we were walking past a wooded field to get to one of our houses. We saw some red lights coming from the woods and so we went to investigate. There was an ambulance crashed into some trees in the middle of the woods. I remember the lights, seeing trees knocked over and blood smeared across the back of the ambulance. We all freaked out and ran home. The next day we walked back to the woods and there was absolutely no sign of the ambulance, crash or any damage to the trees. We didn't talk about it after that. About 15 years later, I ran into one of the kids and he remembered the exact same thing.

I got hit head on at 45-50 mph.
I don't know fast she was going when she ran the red light.
I went through the windshield and landed on the street.
I was not wearing a seatbelt and I don't why.
I always wear a seatbelt.
If I would of have been wearing a seatbelt, I would have been crushed.
I walked away with some cuts and bruises, and one fuked up finger.

why park on the drive way. and drive on the parkway? why would someone remark that they finally found whatever it was they were looking for in the last place they looked? they wouldn't continue to look after they found it anyway.

10 years ago I went for a bike ride and looked at my helmet hanging on the wall, and pulled it off the wall and put it on, no reason, I just did it. I hadn't worn a helmet in years and years, couldn't have told you at the time how long it had been and it was super ugly and way out of date, it had been that long. 6 miles later, while riding on the sidewalk, a 16 y/o kid who just got his license creamed me with his car and my helmet broke in several places. I wear a helmet all the time ever since.

In 2007, I lived in Grand Island. I had a serious girlfriend who lived in a little apartment with a giant patio leading to a deck with stairs exiting to the parking lot behind the building. The lock on the patio door never worked, but she never got it fixed.

One random night 2 girl friends and her went out drinking. My girlfriend got a ride over to my house. One of her other friends was picked up by a boyfriend as well. This left the last friend to pass out on the couch.

At roughly 3 am, a Mexican dude walks into the back patio door with a gun. He immediately walks into my girlfriends room, and turns on the light like he knew exactly where he was going. She is not there obviously. He then turns around to see the other friend on the couch. He points the gun at her, takes her back outside in the alley and brutally rapes her.

2 years later, cops in York arrest this guy for another assault. His DNA matches the Grand Island rape. He confessed to detectives that he knew the back patio door didn't lock and that he would often go into the apt. Here also would watch us and that's why he got the gun. This dude was like 5'4 145lbs. He said he got the gun because he knew he would probably have to shoot her big boyfriend. I'm 6'5 220. The tragedy here was an amazing and smart woman was raped. She is an ER Nurse and it took her years to get over that trauma.

But the ironic part of the story is how often I stayed over at her apt... It was nearly every single night.

Btw, the rapist lived in a trailer about 100 yards behind the apt. He could see her apt from his bedroom window. The Grand Island Detectives completely dismissed that notion the next morning.

In college I lived in a old house on S street, can't recall the exact intersection, maybe between 29th and 30th? Cool looking place, kinda victorian style with the wrap-around porch. Landlord used to name his properties so this one was "Casablanca" and it had a big sign on it that said that. Anyhow, lived there with 2 other guys and they had weirder experiences than I ever did.

It was 3 br, 2 upstairs and one down and I had the downstairs one. So I was directly below one of them, and it had a squeaky floorboard so I would always hear when my roommate got up in the morning because that board would creak. So one afternoon I'm in my room and I figured maybe my roommate is gone or he's napping. I hear the board creak so I went upstairs because I was gonna tell him something. I was the only one home.

Guy who stayed in that bedroom said at night sometimes, he would feel something crawl into bed with him. Or out of the corner of his eye he'd see somebody walk by.

We used to park in the back yard because you could drive right in from the alley. Our third roommate said he pulled up to the back once and thought I was home because he saw somebody looking out the upstairs window. Nobody home. I get back from class one day to find him just creeped out. It was just me and him living in the house at this point. We would keep the third Br shut and the vent closed to save a little on utilities. We'd come home to find the door opened all the time. He tells me he was in his room right next to it, and the door was open, so he shut it. Goes back to his room. The door opens. He shuts it. Goes back to his room. The door opens HARD and thumps against the wall. Then from downstairs he hears this CLANK and goes down to the kitchen to find a pint glass standing up in the middle of the floor.

Guy who moved in after me claimed to have seen crazier **** than that...but he also used to do acid so take that with a grain of salt I guess.

Normally I dismiss this kind of odd stuff. However, when I was young my brother and I shared a bedroom. I think he was about 14 and I was 12. We were laying in bed and my brother said "wouldn't it be funny if the lightbulb just went poof right now ". About three seconds later the lightbulb just exploded. We weren't hurt as it was at the other end of the room. Talk about creepy. We still bring it up occasionally but haven't seen anything like it since.

My mom was a devout Catholic growing up. She prayed the rosary often and had a pretty strong prayer life in general. She had this 2 foot statue of the virgin Mary that formed tears a couple of times. I was around 13 or 14 at the time. The first time it happened, she corners me with the most serious look on her face I have ever seen. She asked me if I was pranking her. I was not. No explanation for how that happened. It has been reported in different parts of the world with some frequency.

I have a 6 week old baby and I forgot how they will just stare and smile at something, and you look to see what it is , it looks like they're just staring at a blank ceiling.

Several years ago I was at work helping a train crew set out a bad car from the train. About an hour after we got done with setting this car out I had another train coming to pick up a good car out of the same siding. Normally I would just sit there and wait for the next train plus there is lots of room to park. For some reason this night I decided to move up to the next crossing to watch for any more bad cars on the train I just helped. At this crossing there was not a lot of room to park and wait for the next train . About 20 minutes later a train came through where we set out the car and derailed right at the siding and another train going the other way couldn't get stopped in time and drove into the pile of derailed cars. No one was hurt but I still have no idea what made me move that night.

Beavis brought this one up once...

Why do we say "I'm going to take a dump"?
Shouldn't it be "I'm going to leave a dump"?
