  • I was once changing pants in my room before work and 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 had simply set it on the floor.
    I looked and looked for it, but it was really gone. Ten years later, I still have no idea where this belt is. © CuteFlowerS_ / Reddit
  • I saw an image in my dream right before I woke up. It was all black with the words “The Fab Four” in white. Later, I went to get a coffee and was looking through a Life Magazine special edition about The Beatles while waiting. I saw the exact same image: a full page, all black, with “The Fab Four” in white. © CarlsbadW***kyShop / Reddit

  • A few years ago, I was driving late at night on a deserted road when my car suddenly stalled. As I tried to restart it, I noticed a figure standing in the distance, illuminated by my headlights. The figure seemed to be moving closer, but when I blinked, it was gone.
    My car started up immediately after, and I sped away. I still have no idea who or what that figure was. © Swimming-Ad-Min / Reddit
  • One time, when I was twelve, I was staying with my aunt. I was asleep, and I woke up outside of the house, with all the doors locked from the inside. I had to bang on the doors to wake my aunt up and get her to let me back in. © acerthorn3 / Reddit
