Then, within the next few minutes I will actually see that person."
He was perched on the bench, turning pages with his beak.
No one really seems to believe me, but dude, corvids are fuckingsmart.

My friend and I used to love to go and hang out in one of the local cemeteries.
I guess because we were just weird.
This was an older cemetery and was no longer used so it didnt have any new graves in it.

One day while we were hanging out and just wandering around we stumbled upon a new looking grave marker.
It stuck out like crazy because all of the other markers were old and gray and crumbling.
On some of them you could barely make out the names.
This marker was much newer and the name and dates was clearly visible.
It was also a rather neat red marble color which was really different from all of the others.
We didnt think much of it and just continued our trip through the cemetery.
After an hour or so we decided it was time to leave.
We crossed right by where the new grave marker had been and it was gone.
We checked for it several more times on different visits and never found it again.
It was just weird and some thing neither of us could ever explain.
Years ago my dads uncle passed away.
Its out of reach and untouched (no one in my immediate family drinks).
On the day of his passing, Im in the front room reading and my dads doing his taxes.
we get a phone call with the bad news.
My dad continues his taxes while letting me know his uncle passed in a few short words.
Not 30 seconds later and the tequila bottle his uncle got my parents starts playing music.
This is odd to me because I thought it was just a bottle so I ask.
Do we have a music box?
I clarify Did you wind it recently?
That is the only time it has made a noise as long as Ive been alive.
Of all days and times.
I never knew what to make of it.
Eventually, they were close enough and formed a triangle.
We go back outside, the lights are still hovering, moving slowing in a triangle.
No sound is being made by them.
When I say quick, I meanquick.
The remaining two continue moving slowly in the sky for a few more seconds then they literally just vanish.
Poof, the lights were just gone.
Im not saying it was aliens, but yeah, those really were unidentified flying objects.
To this day, we have no idea what they might possibly be.
As if cued, all ~50-75 dolphins simultaneously stopped jumping and disappeared into the depths for about 30 seconds.
Immediate, unnerving quiet.
Then they were gone.
Showing off for my dad and I?
Who knows, but it was awesome.
Once I tripped at the top of the stairs.
Anyhow, when I landed, it was like I fell on top of an air bubble.
I didnt even touch my pup and she remained sleeping.
No idea how neither of us were hurt.
I immediately got up and slept in between my mom and dad.
Still get goosebumps and still cant explain it.
When I was about 10 years old we lived at my grandparents house for about a year.
One night I woke up because he was watching TV too loud.
I remember hearing glasses clanking, people chatting and faint music.
Right when I entered the TV room the noises all fell silent.
I was really tired and confused.
Like other people I occasionally have very prophetic dreams.
They always are about something tragic but Ill describe my most vivid one.
Gf pulls out into an intersection.
I immediately recognize everything from the dream and I flinch to the left.
The car we were in was totaled.
It was the most intense moment of my life.
Since then I have always kept track of my dreams and paid very close attention to them.
I had a dream when I was a teenager.
We lived on the hillside overlooking the city.
I was standing on our terrace just watching the world die.
Water covered most of the city.
What wasnt drowned was burning, pillars of smoke covered the horizon.
But oddly enough it was serene.
You couldnt hear screaming or choas, just tinders snapping like a campfire along the shore.
It smelled like the sea too.
Then I looked to my right, and there was my dad.
To his right, was my paternal grandmother.
They both just smiled a sad smile which made me realize that I couldnt move.
We were stuck standing in mud.
I woke up after that.
I asked him if he had a dream last night.
He described the exact same thing and he said he saw me too.
So, full disclosure: I lived in Roswell, NM for years.
I do NOT think it was a UFO.
I think it was military.
After all, there are many air force bases in NM.
So its around 10 or 11 pm, and were outside at a bar.
Not drunk, in fact my husband and our friend hadnt had anything but soda.
I think Id had one margarita at this point.
There is a black, triangular object moving across the sky overhead.
It looked huge, but of course, the size of objects in the sky can be deceiving.
The only reason we could see it, was because it blocked out the stars.
Were all just like… wtf.
It flies off, we go inside, and are like… yep, that just happened.
We file that in our mental weird shit in the sky bin.
A few years later, my husband is outside our house, watering the lawn.
Its around 9/10 pm.
He yells at me to come outside.The same object is in the sky again.We just stared.
If other patrons at the bar hadnt seen whatever that was, Id have been like yeah, right.
And then for us to see it twice?
The lack of sound is really the part that gets me.
No sound before, during, or after it passed overhead.
I woke up with sleep paralysis with the understanding my uncle died.
Me and my dad both witnessed a white figure fly across our backyard in 1999.
When we saw it we both looked at each other and tried to make sense of it.
We still talk about it today.
I dont believe in ghosts, but I cant explain what this was.
Looked like a ghost if you believe in that.
The dude looked completely dumbfounded and replied that indeed he was from that city.
It was really weird and the guy was blown away and I was kind of in awe.
I dont believe in real psychic abilities or anything but this tested me.
Also it could have just been fake and she really knew he was from there but crazy experience anyway.
It must have been the size of the moon.
There was no real tail.
I can still recall the trajectory each time I look out of the window.
It is a crystal clear memory.
I know I wasnt dreaming, because I called my parents into my room immediately.
They still remember it to this day.
This is actually the weirdest thing, and call me crazy if youd like.
I went to a fair one time, for some reason my friends werent with me cant recall why.
Got on some ride, got one of those spiral cut potatoes.
Took off after, went home went to sleep.
Still have no idea where the fuck I went that night.
I once had this dream.
I woke up, did my normal stuff, then walked into the bathroom.
I knew that something was off and that this was a dream, but I followed through.
I look in the bathroom mirror, and the most terrifying thing is in my reflection.
I scream, and wake up.
It is now dark outside.
I wake up again, refusing to look in my mirror.
It felt like hours.
I waited for the dream to end.
I eventually went into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, same terrifying reflection.
It was all very dark.
Shes standing alone in kitchen, im terrified.
None of this feels like a dream at all.
I go to bed.
I finally actually wake up.
I dreamt an entire school day.
I ask everyone about if any of the shit i remember happening actually happened.
Im a police officer.
A couple of us attend this call and when we get there, we hear the banging.
Its not continuous, but it happens in 4 or 5s, every few minutes or so.
It sounded like how it was reported, like someone banging their fist against the wall.
It was definitely making the items on the bathroom shelf shake.
Dude answers and lets us in.
Can hear the banging still, but not nearly as loud.
Its clearly nobody in that unit banging on the wall.
We cant figure it out.
Plus the forcefulness of the banging didnt add up to an animal.
A person stuck in the wall?
We call the fire department.
Of course everyone is joking that its a ghost.
The people who live in the unit say theyve heard the banging before, but not to this extent.
Its never gone on as long or been as loud or forceful.
As a joke, someone shouts out if you want us to leave, knock 3 times!
Right away, there are 3 sharp bangs.
Everybody is freaked out by this point.
Im walking around the unit, just seeing if anything else is out of the ordinary.
A few of the bangs are so forceful, they made the basket on the bed shake.
The kid says the banging is more frequent when he is near the bathroom.
Weird shit, right?
So the firemen arrive.
The firemen decide to cut a small hole in the wall.
Honestly, I dont even want to be there for when they do that.
So they cut a small hole in the wall.
What do they find?
Nothing is in there.
The banging basically died down at this point.
Last I heard the occupants moved out and we havent heard anything since.
I have no good explanation for this and neither does anyone else.
When I quickly went to put my glasses on the figure disappeared.
Who has a blue nightgown?.
Lets just say I didnt sleep in that room for the remainder of the trip.
By that time all the furniture in room had been rearranged.
And I mean completely moved from one end of the room to the other.
Not too crazy since I dont really remember feeling scared but man was it the weirdest.
We eventually just knocked out.
Then later that night I randomly wake up.
Its dark and I see a shadowy figure of a man walk across my room.
I try screaming and moving but I cant.
It was the first time I had sleep paralysis.
Eventually I fall back asleep.
The next morning I go to work and tell my coworker about the dream I had last night.
Im like yeah, I was just really tired last night so it probably was sleep paralysis.
When I get home from work, my sisters home.
I was tripping out because she told me exactly what I saw before I even told her!
Probably one of the most weirdest things that happened to me.
I fell asleep at my desk at work one day.
I must have been very sleepy because I passed out quick.
While asleep I saw my 9 year old nephew jumping on the sofa at my sisters place.
He saw me watching him, stopped and had this look of utter shock on his face.
After that, I instantly woke up feeling strange and disoriented.
Later that day, I visit some of my family at my sisters place.
My heart almost stopped.
I havent told anyone this.
They wouldnt believe me.
Only my nephew & I know about it.
I may have astral projected.
Mind you it was completely clear, no clouds or any kind of moisture in the atmosphere or anything.
It was as if some one had inverted the colors of the sky and only the sky.
Then it just… changed back, it didnt dim or fade, it just switched to black.
Then, within the next few minutes I will actually see that person.
Its frequent enough that I call it now; Ill be like, is that Jon?
Nope, not Jon.
But I bet Ill see him in the next 10 minutes; and then I do.
I dont read into it at all.
Its just an odd little quirk in my life.
I was walking down Commercial Avenue in Vancouver, which is like the alternative neighbourhood there.
This was like 15 years ago.
Just walking down the street and it was pretty busy as usual.
Out of the blue, I see a fully nude woman walking down the sidewalk toward me.
I remember her so vividly because I was so surprised and also she was super hot.
But the thing I remember the most is that NO ONE ELSE REACTED.
Nobody was turning their heads.
I saw nobody like elbowing their friend and pointing.
People were just calmly walking past her and she strolled calmly down the sidewalk.
Again, people seemed to just be casually getting out of her way but no reactions.
Conversations continued as she passed people.
Not a single other head turned.
Commercial Drive is known for hippies and alternative-lifestyle types, but I cant explain the absolutely-zero-reaction from people.
A hot, sexy nude ghost.
I was sitting in my college dorm room once when the temperature suddenly started dropping like crazy.
I turned the heat up as high as it would go but it just kept getting colder.
I took out my winter clothes and started putting them on.
This was like in late September/early October in New York so it wasnt cold outside at all.
I had no idea.
Later that night, we were informed a girl who lived in the dorms had died.
Everyone who Ive told about this says that I felt her death.
I once went to panera with some friends.
We got our food and sat down at the table.
About halfway through the meal my friend says did any of you guys notice that pole before?
I heard the word impossible whispered into my ear one night when visiting my parents.
I had just turned off lights to go to sleep, but wasnt tired or delirious.
No TV or devices were on and it was point blank range into my ear.
No explanation and hasnt happened since.
He didnt move so I laughed a little at myself and kept sitting there.
We were both like :O
