1.In college, eating breakfast with 3 friends.
All have cereal with milk.
One friend, K, also has a glass of milk.
Alexis Montero
Hes seated directly across from me.
I watch him pick up the glass and drop it onto his lap.
It disappears from my view as it strikes the table.
Absolutely no reaction from him.
We ask K if hes ok. K has no recollection of the glass of milk.
We search the immediate area and no milk anywhere, no glass anywhere.
3 of us remember the glass of milk.
K has no recollection to this day.
And absolutely nothing happened.
This happened about 35 years ago, and to this day I have no idea how that happened.
In the resort was an old black gardener whod always wear a yellow rain jacket.
Apparently he had an interesting face, so my father asked if he could take a picture.
The man said yes, but I am telling you it cant be captured in a photo.
My dad didnt believe him, but got his friend to take a picture with his camera as well.
The friends of my parents lived in another city, different lab and all.
Still they also had some grey pictures, but there was none of the old black man.
4.My uncles best friend/coworker just disappeared one day.
He went over to the house and found the garage door open and front door unlocked.
Then locked everything and went to his boss who couldnt have cared less about the matter.
5.My mum inherited a watch from her grandmother.
It was the old fashioned kind that needed to be wound all the time, obviously.
In the end she just accepted it had gone.
Cut to a few years later, and we had moved house.
She totally believes in ghosts and is confident her grandmother found it and brought it back to her.
6.When I was about 20, I had a bunch of dreams featuring a man.
He always had this calmly threatening demeanor, even when he was furious.
And he had an air of evil to him.
He was the main antagonist in any nightmare I had for about a year.
Anyway, one night, I had a dream that I was walking down the street.
There was a woman walking about half a block in front of me with really curly hair.
she was crossing a side street, when the man appeared around the corner and started following her.
I freaked out, knowing he was a threat to her, and tried to yell a warning.
Nothing came out other than squeeks.
I tried to run and help her, but could barely move.
The man slowly looked back to me and very calmly said this ones mine.
He caught up to her, and I watched helplessly as he decapitated her before waking up.
I usually talked about my nightmares with a friend, but this one I kept to myself.
It was a short trip home, through a small residential neighborhood.
His girlfriend called an hour later as he hadnt come back home yet.
We didnt find his jacket and wallet.
A week after his stuff had been lost.
Thing is, they hadnt had a party the night he lost his stuff, only the following weekend.
We never found an explanation.
8.I bought my husband a watch for his 30th birthday engraved with his name.
Not long after he lost it somewhere in the house.
We searched everywhere for it but it couldnt be found.
Fast forward 13 years and my husband has a heart attack and dies instantly.
Two weeks later our 2yo son walks out of the bathroom holding his watch.
There are no cupboards in there- just a shower and bath.
9.I have a personal mystery.
Yet, when I come back into the kitchen there are no letters anywhere.
Confused, I check every downstairs table and eventually the mail box.
There was no one but me at home for a few hours before this.
Utterly confused till this day.
10.I once did a magic trick in front of 20 people as a teenager.
We had orchestrated it, so there were 2 of us.
What happened surprised not only the crowd, but myself and my co-magician as well.
My mind was blown and I still cant explain it to this day.
11.I made chicken soft tacos for dinner last week.
Halfway through cooking realized we didnt have tortillas.
I sent husband to the store to buy soft flour tortillas.
Dinner is ready so I tell my two teenage boys to dish up.
Shredded chicken is on the stove.
All the fixings are on the island including the unopened bag of tortillas.
Boys come sit in the living room with two burritos each.
Husband and I go into kitchen and grab plates.
I reach to grab a tortilla…
The bag is sealed.
I look around totally confused.
Examine the bag, no tears anywhere.
I look in the trash for an empty bag.
Ask the boys where they got their tortillas.
They both said from the bag on the counter.
I asked, the new bag?
My oldest says yes, he opened it.
Thanks for the 4 free tortillas, glitch.
12.Personal mystery, but for the last few years Ill wake up with ENORMOUS bruises on my body.
Like, what the fuck happened to you?
On my legs, arms, face, anything.
I do have pictures of the bruises if anyone wants to see.
This is a personal mystery of mine that has always kind of perplexed me.
When I was little, maybe 6 or so, my grandpa bought one of those cheap plastic snakes.
You know the kind?
It is coiled up and the bottom of the snake is like black and hollowed out?
This was a BIG no-no but I was pretty much left to my own devices so I didnt care.
This was weird because I hadnt seen that snake in forever and definitely hadnt been playing with it.
I remember taking note of where it landed because this thing creeped me out.
I go back to my letter and promptly forget about it.
Where I had thrown this cheap plastic snake was now a very real and alive snake.
I flipped my shit and climbed a bookcase in the room screaming for someone to come help me.
My mom rushed into the room just in time to see this snake slither out of sight.
They finally find it, take it outside, and promptly kill it.
It just straight up vanished.
But it has always kind of unsettled me.
14.My cat likes to bury little green army men in his litter box.
There are none in the house and hes an indoor cat.
I went and grabbed them and came upstairs.
So I went back downstairs and they werent in the freezer anymore.
Searched literally every square inch/nook and cranny between the chest freezer and the kitchen and they were not anywhere.
They never ever turned up.
To this day my mom thinks I was playing a dumb prank on her.
It was like a scene from a horror movie.
I extensively checked my body for cuts or anything but there were none.
Also no sign of nose bleeding.
My mother also checked for an explanation but she couldnt find any.
17.I was fly fishing around king salmon Alaska.
Ive never met her.
Ive never even been within 500 miles of that town before that week.
Overall weird and shady, with a few theories, but all unsolved.
No sign of assailants or Jayme.
20.I was living (and working) in an old haunted pub with my Ex.
I searched the pub and checked out in the streets.
About half an hour later he wandered down the stairs to reception looking all shaken up.
He had no idea how he got there.
21.My cousin came over with his xbox, left, and said that he couldnt find his power cable.
Not the brick, the cable that goes to the wall.
I looked everywhere, parents didnt believe me.
They looked everywhere, and now were convinced that its no longer in our house.
However, when the ride arrived at Blackpool, the apple was nowhere to be found.
24.So this is a personal mystery.
I was perplexed how it got there since I didnt give anyone rides and lock my car doors.
This was super confusing because I did not drive my car for that whole week.
The dude was so grateful that he gave my roommate/me a bag of weed as gratitude.
I didnt smell anything.
Its one of my grandfathers cigars.
Keep an eye out, every time I smell it something happens.
This was in the middle of a curve, so there was no warning at all.
Then it happened again like two years later.
I checked the dates on them and they didnt seem to be anything significant to me.
And now Im just waiting for it to happen again.
28.Mine is a personal mystery that happened a couple of years back with no explanation I can think of.
To my surprise, someone was already logged in which was unusual.
I checked the profile and it turned out to belong to this girl that went to my high school.
I tried thinking of every explanation I could think of but I was just dumbfounded.
29.I was spreading butter on a piece of bread, put the knife down to wash a cup.
I have a very small kitchen.
I looked everywhere I didnt find the damned knife!
It just disappeared as if it went to another dimension.
I could see anyone who wanted to come from the hallway or the stairs.
Still weirds me out.
This was regular occurrence for years.
Was a little surprised as I was just in my apartment.
Figured my mom has just dreamt this.
So I call her and explain that I wasnt there and ask what we talked about.
She summarizes the conversation and gives me details about things she shouldnt have known about my night out eg.
What was going on in the lives of the friends I had seen that night.
34.This happened a few years ago to my brother and my mom.
My mom then informs him that my father has been dead for over 10 years and is in disbelief.
The teacher had absolutely no background of our family and no way of knowing this is shocked himself.
To this day we have no idea what happened that day.
35.While visiting Rome a few years back, the group I was with decided to tour the Vatican.
One of our friends had a friend who was a brother studying to be a Priest.
When we met up with this fellow, he immediately struck me as someone that I had met before.
When I returned, there was a seat for me right in front of the brother.
I sat down, apologized, and started to listen to the conversations.
I have this strange feeling that we know each other but I cant place it.
I was blown away.
This was the first conversation we had, and we both believed we had know each other personally.
36.I had one of those incredible hulk face ice creams you get from the ice cream truck.
I still dont know what happened to my ice cream.
I want my money back.
I finished early that day and was home at around 1pm.
I was talking to my sister and she casually mentioned my mum came home for a while.
She also didnt hear her leave.
They were all loudly bored and hungry, and one of them was scrounging around under the seats.
As we watched, he pulled a McDonalds bag out from under the seat behind him.
That bag was full of food.
He began distributing burgers to his stoner buddies, until the last guy said no thanks.
I dont like burgers.
Then the guy reaches into the bag and says Thats okay.
Heres a chicken sandwich.
And he hands his buddy the last item.
I still think about it.
40.One afternoon last summer I was looking under my bed for a bag.
41.Came home from work with a 12 pack of drinks.
But there are 13.
I count 13 cans when I get inside.
No idea how that happened.
42.A little late but this story still makes me sleep with the lights on whenever I think of it.
My sister and I were upstairs at my grandparents house where we lived.
We were playing some Disney princess game on our TV.
All of a sudden we hear a loud piece off glass shatter.
It seriously sounded like someone dropped a chandelier.
He checked in the next room that the sound came from and nothing had fallen.
There were no glass shards anywhere.
Kinda creeped him out as well.
Im apologized and quickly backed away.
He was gone to some family event, and I was there alone chilling till he got back.
I freaked the fuck out and locked myself in one room.
The footsteps came up right outside the door of the room I was in and just stopped.
The room I was in had 2 windows, opposite sides of the room, curtains on each.
Im talking almost perfect 90 degree angle from the wall, as straight as a sheet of paper.
I called my friend thinking he was fucking with me, he wasnt.
I could hear his family in the background.
Ive gone through every possibility I can think of.
I thought maybe an intruder.
But no, his house is so small, I wouldve heard forced entry from anywhere in the house.
Hes told me over and over he believes his house is haunted.
Ive never believed in ghosts, but I questioned my beliefs that night.
46.Lost my class ring when I was 20.
About 8-10 months later I move 1000 miles away.
Only brought a few clothes and my car.
Someone hit me and totaled my car while there…twice, be careful driving in Florida.
Bought a new car (twice).
Lived there for a year.
Then moved about 200 miles away.
A month after moving to the new town I receive a call from a church.
They received a donation of clothes.
While sorting them out they found a class ring with my name etched inside the band.
My new home number came up when they searched my name.
The church was about two miles from where we just moved.
My wife didnt get rid or donate any clothes.
I thought it must be a mistake, but decided to go take a look.
Sure enough, it was mine.
I looked through the clothes they found it in and they werent mine or my wifes.
Still no idea how it could have ended up 1100 miles from where I lost it.
All of the immediate family search for her, including myself for two days.
We even got the police involved.
Absolutely no sign of her.
She cant remember anything.
48.I had a haunted TV when I was growing up.
I dont remember where we got the TV but I do remember it was second hand.
It would turn on every day for Hannah Montana.
The kid might have mistaken me for someone else but it still bugs me.
Also; he never showed up at practice again.
50.When I was in high school, my aunt gave me a t-shirt for my birthday.
One day I realized I had two of this shirt in my closet.
No idea how that happened.
I could never think of a good explanation, although there must be one…
