Nocturnal concert

When I was younger, I was staying at a friend's house. His parents made him take piano lessons, so they had a piano in their living room. From the basement, around midnight, we heard a short little melody (5 seconds) play on the piano. His parents did not play, and we did not hear anyone walking around upstairs. Scared the shit out of both of us. My only explanation is that his cat jumped on it and coincidentally played something pleasing. Seems hard to believe though.

Once a blue moon

At my old house, ever so often I kept seeing this weird shape. It was almost like a floating water cube and everytime I would approach it, it would dash into the other room and I never saw it until It happened again. Happened once in a blue moon but it always appeared in the doorway. I can’t even claim it was a ghost because I genuinely cannot comprehend what it was.

Mysterious visitor

In high school I was at a friend's house with another friend and we had just gotten ready and were waiting for her parents to get home to take us to the movies. We were sitting on her bed with her door closed and we all heard the front door open and close and then her stepdad yell all three of our names like he always does when he gets home. We all start getting our stuff together and walk out into the living room but we don’t see him. We’re confused and look out front and his truck isn’t home so I called him and he said that they were about ten minutes away.... We have no clue how or what that was but it was clear as day and we just ran back in her room and locked the door until they got home. There was no one in the house that they could find and the front door was locked with the alarm on.

Premonition

I had this strange feeling in my body an entire day that something really bad had happened. It got so intense at one point that I basically got up from my chair and firmly told myself 'cut this bullshit, nothing bad has happened today'. My mom's phone started to ring a few hours later, and she called for me to come out of my room after the call. She then told me my grand mother had just been found dead in her bed.
To this day, I can't wrap my head around any of it and people never believe me when I tell them about it.

Sleepish

So, this happened to me a few weeks ago and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Important background first. When I have sleep paralysis, I don't ever have visions or anything like that - there's no demon in the corner, nothing. I'm aware of what's going on around me - for instance, if someone else is in the room watching TV, I can hear them and the TV and identify the sounds - but I just can't move.
So, the other night, I woke up with sleep paralysis. As I was lying there, I heard my bedroom door open. This was unsettling because I live alone in my apartment. I heard footsteps as someone walked to my bed. Then I felt someone kiss me on my temple. As soon as they drew back, my paralysis broke and I sat up to see that no one was there.
This happened to have occurred a few days after a long-time family friend passed away. I thought maybe it was him, coming to say goodbye because I wasn't able to see him before his death, as it was somewhat sudden.
Maybe this is totally normal for sleep paralysis and I just happen to have never experienced it before in that way. And maybe I just conflated it with my friend's death because I was grieving and it made me feel better. But it felt extremely real to me and I'm still thinking about it.

Time lost

About 2 years ago, I got home from school at around 3:20, got off my bike, put it in the garage and shut it (same thing i do almost every single day. I was very energetic, not tired at all. Breathing a little heavy from the bike ride so I grabbed a soda, sat down on the couch, plugged in my dead phone and cracked the coke open. I blinked and my phone was phone fully charged, soda flat and room temperature. The sun had set. I have no fricking clue what happened but I somehow blinked and fast forwarded to 10 o'clock. To this day it freaks me out and i have no clue what happened. I didn't fall asleep as the my sleep tracker on my watch did not detect any sleep.

Floating together

When I was young, probably around 5 years old I remember being at my grandparents house which had a basement. My cousin who is a year younger than me was with me as well. I have a fuzzy memory of knowing how to jump and float down the stairs and teaching my cousin how to do it too. We were having fun doing it and went and told an adult in the house what we were doing. He laughed at us and said it was impossible. I don't remember doing it anymore after that. So anyways, I kind of wrote that memory off as maybe a dream and never did talk about it to anyone or my cousin who I'm pretty close with. Years later when I was around 17, I was walking somewhere with that same cousin and she randomly said to me " hey do you remember when we use to float down nan's stairs?". So yeah, really weird. Maybe both of our imaginations were more intense back then and we shared some kind of make believe memory, I don't know.

My dreams are your dreams

Last month I had a dream that my son (7yo daughter's twin bro) was in our back yard, but our back yard was flooded. I was trying to get him to wade over to me because I thought I saw a very large snake in the water. All of the sudden I see that Son has been bitten and I go chasing after the snake because it seems like the logical answer is to see what kind of snake it is to see if I can tell if it is poisonous or not, to maybe rush him to a hospital, idk? I find the snake in the water and I am suddenly really confused because I realize it's not a snake, it's a huge eel. Then there's a knock on my bedroom door and I wake up. Daughter says she had a bad dream. I walk her back to bed and sit with her for a while and ask if she'd like to talk about it before laying back down (she usually feels better doing so). She said she had a dream that our whole yard was flooded and there was a huge eel in the water and it was really scary. I did not tell her about my dream.

Man in the air

In 2003 I was visiting some family in rural Alaska. I saw a man who was flying through the air. At first I thought it was some kind reflection off the fog. But he flew very close to me. When he saw me, he flew away very quickly over the Bering Sea and out of sight. He was maybe within 200-300 yards from me. I was a young kid and nobody believed me but I remember it with great detail. I could see nothing holding him up, and I could hear no engine noise at all. To move laterally, it looked like he would just lean left and right. To pan, he would turn his waist. I also remember how there were no ripples on the water from him flying over it. It's something that bothers me to this day and it bothers me knowing that I can't bring it up with my family anymore because they got tired of me talking about it over the years.

Physics in action

I work as a flight engineer for a helicopter in the Air Force. Part of my responsiblities involves scanning for terrain, weather, threats and keeping track of the other helicopter in the formation. Once second the other helo was at our 7 o clock for .3 miles. 3 seconds later they were at our 10 o clock for 1.5 miles. Our speed is around 2 miles / minute. My mind is still blown as to how they got there.

There and back again

When I lived alone in my first apartment I'd ALWAYS lose my roku remote & find it in weird places ( like the kitchen). Anyway one night I used it to select a show on Netflix (in my bedroom) and then it was suddenly gone. Like I set it down on my bed and it vanished. I tore my room apart looking for it. A friend came over and I explained the situation so he helped look. We honestly looked everywhere for this remote. We went to McDonald's or something and when we came back the remote was sitting on my bedside table. We both checked the table and the floor around it before we left and it was not there. My friend is still freaked out by that night.

Gravity faults

Once, I tripped, and was pinwheeling, trying to regain balance. I was between 30 and 40 degrees from the ground. No saving it at that point, right? Gonna fall on my face. But I didn't. I didn't grab anything, because there was nothing to grab. Nobody touched me, anyone close enough to rush to my aide had yet to notice that I was even falling. I just... got back on my feet. I could tell that I should've fallen on my face. I felt gravity pulling me down. But suddenly, it was like gravity just stopped for a split second, and that split second gave me what I needed to get back on my feet. It makes no freaking sense. But it happened.

Wrong month

When I was about 4 years old, I woke up in the middle of the night with a hand reaching in from my doorway and touching my favourite Maisy Mouse calendar and changing the month. At this time it was around August and this “person” changed the month to November. It was a male hand and sort of hairy. I was almost paralysed with fear hit I knew for a fact that I was not sleeping or dreaming because the next day my calendar was still on November. The next day, I asked my dad why he changed my calendar because I thought it might’ve been him but he didn’t know what I was talking about. I took his hand and looked at it and it wasn’t the same hand so it couldn’t have been him. So to this day I have no idea what happened or how it happened since we had our alarm on so no one else could’ve been in our house.

Protected by the cats

This did happen to me but i don't remember it, my mom has just told me a bunch of times as the cause of her believing in ghosts and demons. I was a baby, about 7 months old and my silblings were at friends houses for the night and my dad was at work for a night shift so it was just baby me and my mom in the house and all the doors were locked. She left me on the bed naked during a diaper change (the bed had railings so i wasn't going to fall off) to let things air out while she went to the bathroom. While she was in there she heard all 5 of our cats start hissing and yowling when she heard a loud clap and heard me screaming my head off, so she ran to the room to see what was wrong, i was laying on the bed in the same place but there was a huge red and swelling welt in the shape of a hand on my belly and chest as if someone had smacked me as hard as they could, and all the cats had formed a semi circle around me and were hissing at the closet door as if there was something there and they put themselves between me and the door but when my mom opened it there was no one in there. I think she still has a picture of me on the bed with the welt and the cats forming the semi circle around me, it's a very odd photo to look at.

Manipulative candy

Was headed to my room with some candy I got from the kitchen. Accidentally dropped some on my way in the room. When I flopped down on my bed I turned around to see where it fell but then it fell to the ground as if waiting for me to turn around before it actually fell.

Library adventures

I was at my local library in the back of the adult to young adult reading section of doing some reading because an event was happening in the main area and it was loud. A kid comes to the back later alone and sits at the table to my right. He is wearing a hoodie with the hood up and puts his head down on the table. He starts whispering something weird I can't understand, but it did not sound English. He puts his head up slightly and I see he is wearing a white mask, with red near the eye holes. At that point I am freaked out. He puts his head down and stops whispering. I decide to go back to the more populated part of the library because the kid didn’t look like he was leaving anytime soon. I see the kid come back out of the back later with the same hoodie but I didn’t see his mask. This happened about 2 months ago and it still annoys me why he was back there.
