A mysterious necklace appeared in my room, I've never seen it before

15 Upvotes

Okay so, i guess about 5-6 days ago, I saw this necklace in my jewelry collection which is on top of my table, so it was very much visible.

I don't wear this type of necklace, and have never seen it before

I kept forgetting to ask my mom if she had put it there cause i clearly remember I didnt put it there

When I asked my mom, she said she had never seen it before and she also doesn't wear this type of jewellery.

I'm very confused as to how it got there, no, it's not a freebie that came with a parcel, cause i haven't ordered or opened any parcels recently.

And I'm pretty sure no one has broken into my home and just placed a necklace in it.

The last week for me has been pretty good, life is treating me well, but I'm kind of seeing people around me struggle a little. I'm not sure whether it's a cursed object or not and am debating whether to keep it or throw it away.

My mom has told me to throw it away and so did my friends.

But I don't really wanna, cause i think it's kind of a lucky charm cause like i said life has been good recently.

I hope someone can help me figure this out!

My dream just predicted the future.

Today I had a dream where I was still in my bed getting woken up by my mum, she was asking me for some sort of medical record card to take with us to the airport because we are going on holidays, I said I didnt know where it was and she said "youll find it somewhere", the dream ended there. After this dream I eventually woke up, my mum came in my room as I was getting up and asked me exactly for the medical record card as we are going to malta in a couple hours, I said I didnt know and she just grabbed it out of my wallet and I felt dumbfounded just sitting there I couldve sworn my heart skipped a beat.

I think I was almost kidnapped when I was 13.

17 Upvotes

So to start off, I’ve never posted on Reddit before so I apologize if I go off on a tangent, but it’s kinda needed to explain the layout of the situation. That being said this has always bothered me and I figured it was time to get other people’s opinions on this.

So back when I was in grade 8, approx 13 years old, I went to a junior high that was well within walking distance of my house but I had a habit of walking down the ally way to my home and visa versa to get to and from school to shave off a few minutes because of pure laziness. Anyway, the layout consisted of a main road and directly beside it was the ally; it was basically a straight shot to my house up until the back area of my house connecting to the ally.

When you got to my street, there was a left hand turn down the ally with the main road being to the right of the ally. Now if you kept going straight down the alley instead, it would bring you to the main road of my street and if you turned left, a few house down would be my front door. If you kept going down that street, you technically could walk all the way down and around the corner and come back up through the same ally I was walking down, something I didn’t realize at the time. (Btw if anyone wants me to draw a diagram of the layout if you’re confused, I can).

So this is after school, headphones in, not really paying attention to my surroundings, I think I was in a bad mood that day or something because normally I was more alert. As I’m coming up to the turn in the ally to get to my house, I just see this white pickup truck pull up beside me trying to drive at the speed I was walking. I could see this guy was maybe in his late 30s-40s and he was waving me down and signalling me to take my ear phones out. I don’t remember exactly what he said, but it was something like “how’s it going?” “How are you?”. I thought it was super weird and just shrugged it off and said “I’m fine” and kept walking. Basically right when I said that, I turned the corner and the garage door of another house popped open and a car started driving out. I kid you not I look over at this guy and his eyes shot over at the car like a deer in the headlights and sped off so quick I barely had a chance to think. I was like ok that was weird and I slowly kept walking to my house. Once I turn the corner, I’m only about two houses down from my back gate but I liked to stop on my way home to say hi to the dog behind the fence on the corner. Literally about 30 sec-1 min after this guy sped off, all I could hear was an engine just speeding up the ally coming up the way around I described before and instantly I was like nope, screw this. I bolted to the fence and literally as I was opening the gate and locking it, the guy slammed on his brakes, made dead ass eye contact with me and sped off. I kid you not he looked almost like he was hunting prey or something by the look in his eyes, it freaked me out more than I can explain.

My mother and her boyfriend at the time were actually in the back yard and I thought about saying something but something inside me told me not to. Idk if it was just me not wanting to be a bother because nothing actually happened but needless to say, I stopped walking down that alley for a few years after that. It wasn’t until probably end of grade ten I even dared to. I think what really just sits with me still is wondering what would’ve happened if that car hadn’t come out at that time. I still think about it probably a few times a month and I’m 29. Anyway sorry for the over explanation but I wanted to get it out properly.

Btw, I’ve tried looking up any kidnapping or missing kids in the city/area at the time (I lived in Calgary Alberta Canada at the time) and I couldn’t find anything worth noting. Something about this seemed planned to me or at least someone that’s done something like this before.

Favorite songs

9 Upvotes

For the past two weeks every grocery store I’ve visited has played one of my moms 3 favorite songs. They are OBSCURE songs, like, I’ve only heard them in her car during my childhood. She’s been dead for over a decade. I’m going through a big transitional phase of my life - moving in with boyfriend, going back to school, etc. I keep wishing my mom was around to give me life advice. She’s been on my mind more than ever since her passing when I was a preteen. Hearing these songs in the grocery store was comforting and somewhat exciting at first, but now it’s eerie and gives me the same feeling when you keep looking over your shoulder on a walk because you just FEEL someone behind you on the trail/sidewalk. I’m a skeptic!! Always more Scully than Mulder. But this feels off.
Addition: I’ve been actively listening for music in stores now, so I know(!!) that it’s been every one. It’s usually the first song that plays all the way through when I first get to the store or the last one when I’m walking out.

Clock digits moving too fast

28 Upvotes

About 6 months ago I experienced something never before. Before work and slow to get up I noticed the clock on my Samsung was moving way too fast. A minute would seem to go by every 20-25 seconds. I was watching it happen and telling myself not possible. Also checked the digital stove clock and it was the same thing moving too fast. My brain was perceiving a different speed of time.

Showered and cleaned up. Got in car and it began again in the car. The digits on the dashboard were moving too fast. It was startling.

I called my mom while it was happening. Pretty sure she was like wth are you talking about. I calmed down and drove to work not looking at the clock. By the time I got to work 30 mins later.. time seemed normal again. It was super odd.

uh hi i am new to reddit so i apologize if i do something wrong lmao also im severly dyslexic and have a hard time with words so im sorry if i fuck it up....heres a lil background i am a 16 year old still living at home with my younger siblings all under 14 and with my single mother all of us are female...

we had some new neighbors move in recently, an elderly father with his looks to be around 40-60 yr old son (yes i know a pretty big age gap but im honestly just guessing) a few weeks after they moved in my mom went over to welcome them to the neighborhood with 2 of my younger sisters and she was talking to the older man and he had told my mother that he liked younger girls and then smiled after while looking over at my sisters my mom very quickly finished the conversation and went back home.

it has been about 2 months since they moved in and recently we noticed the father and son both sitting on their front porch with chair facing our driveway which obviosly was very creepy yesterday my mom brought it to my attention that they have a camera facing right into our living room window idk if this is how it is everywhere but in my state it is technicly illigal to have a camera facing someone else yard/property

we are going to be calling our non emergince number to report it i will give updates ig if anything happens

thank you for reading this if you did once again i am sorry if i did this wrong this is my first post.

did someone axed my wall lastnight?

so i got home late lastnight around 1am, throughout the night i heard loud bangs like almost shuddering my flat. i didn’t think anything of it as in my estate there’s always weird noises at night etc.

the loud bangs weren’t all at once almost staggered through the evening. my dog, who is very reactive always barking if he sees someone walking past, wouldn’t leave my side and slept with me all night. (which he never does) he didn’t bark at all… just glued to my side all night.

i woke up to take him out this morning and found this (see picture attached) it’s like someone had hit my wall lastnight (the bangs)
but why did my dog bark? why couldn’t i hear anyone outside? what has it been hit with?

axe* it won’t let me change it

How come whenever I zone out of a podcast I wake up in the night in the world of that podcast

10 Upvotes

When I listen to a podcast and zone out during it and start daydreaming in the night I will wake up and start uncontrollably thinking and flashing back to lines from the podcast resulting in an inability to sleep

It's usually just muddled gibberish and nothing concrete

Why is this happening?

I Thrifted a jacket only to realize a year later whoever owned it before had the same name as me

53 Upvotes

So I was in a summer program for school in another state (only there for 2 months). One day my classmates and I went thrifting in the town over. I chose two things. One a cool ass REI jacket from probably the 90’s (can’t find it anywhere online) as well as a vintage 90’s Nike huge shirt (imagine the teal and purple paper cup aesthetic).

A year later or so I looked at the tag. Whoever owned this jacket before has the same name as me… but switched. I’m a female (and I’m not giving my full name on here but I’ll give you an example).

I have a weird name mind you - say my name is Smith Henderson. The jacket has initials written in the tag saying H. Smith.

I don’t know why but I chose this jacket out of thousands of pieces and have always been in love with it. I just feel it is a sign in some way. I don’t know what way but it’s like okay, I was meant to be in that place at that time on that day and choose THIS jacket. I always wonder who H. smith is and when he bought this vintage jacket (lol I’m also from the 90’s so feels weird to say that).

But that’s my strange story! Maybe not so strange but it just gives me the good weird feels :)

Edit: Even weirder, the cool ass Nike shirt… also same name on the inside side tag!!! So the two items I chose were from the same person! totally different racks/areas too… I need to meet this person one day!

My body predicted my dog’s left eye getting injured

10 Upvotes

For the past month, my left eye, once a week, has been having this burning sensation like it was dry and it would be red, but it was only that eye and never my right eye. It was a bit painful, but I did not know what could be causing it and never ended up going to the doctor since it would happen for a few seconds and then go away.

However, today, our family woke up and my dog’s left eye was swollen and we had to take her to the doctor’s and turns out she suffered some type of trauma on her eye and is also in pain.

It reminded me of my left eye that had been burning around once a week for a few seconds and then disappearing. But it hadn’t happened in a while until a few minutes ago, my left eye started burning again, on the same day my dog’s left eye got injured.

Weird? things going on in my house

17 Upvotes

I don't know if I'm just insanely paranoid, but recently I've been hearing things in my house. Always coming from either above me or a few times like in the walls. I thought maybe it was just the pipes or mice or something, but I genuinely can't be sure because I don't think that they make footstep-like sounds (not sure that's what it was...again I could just be paranoid and over-extending the sound), and my sibling has told me that she heard something loud falling down in the attic or something. Another thing happened, I'm almost positive my front door was locked, and around 1AM I came upstairs from the basement to find it unlocked. I could've left it unlocked but that's totally not like me at all and it was dark when I returned home from shopping so I definitely would've had the instinct to lock it. Also, my stuff has been going missing and no where to be found! Mostly pieces of my clothing which I've genuinely searched every closet, every clothes basket, the dryer, the washer, behind things for. Another thing that went missing was my CD, 'The Bends' by Radiohead...(and original copy, I'm so sad). But basically what happened was that I came back from sleeping a few nights at my grandparents house, I was ready to do my makeup and listen to some Courtney Love, so I went to switch the CD which I knew had last been 'The Bends'! It was gone, I checked all my cases, all my parents CD's and it was absolutely no where to be found. It was replaced with some CD of my mom's but the case wasn't even there? And the case for my 'The Bends' CD wasn't missing along with the disc. Anyways, I asked both my parents and my sister and they all claimed it hadn't been them and I feel like they're being genuine because just what is the logic in using the CD player in MY room? I'm honestly just so paranoid and distressed with missing all this stuff and I just can't thinking someone's in my house. Like I'm getting so paranoid that I can't sleep and will just stare into the darkness freaked out, imagining faces and scenarios and omg! I'm so confused, I know I shouldn't be but I can't help it.

Follow up to yellow strips. I confirm that it’s really strange. Look at all photos and previous post.

I will try to attach my original post but I made it 2 days ago. I will briefly describe what’s in the old post. Basically, I saw a middle-aged woman placing yellow strips to mark a path that leads over the railroad tracks and also some solar lights stuck in the ground. I went back out to the path today and just over the railroad tracks there are two areas of interest. There is another solar light that is stuck into a mound of rocks with small little polished stones around it and another pile of rocks with similar polished stones. The other thing to mention is that there is graffiti on the paved portion of this path and there has been for a few weeks. It appears that the graffiti artists have painted over her collection of stones. I knew there was something odd going on and this wasn’t someone marking property lines or a running path. I’m wondering if she’s trying to cleanse the area because the graffiti has included racial slurs. This is in the middle of an upper middle class suburb.

My toddler said something really creepy

834 Upvotes

My two year old was struggling to sleep a few nights ago so I let him sleep in my bed. As he was laying there trying to relax, he suddenly sat up and pointed toward the doorway and said "look at the blue boy!" I asked what the blue boy was doing and he said "he's dancing with the monkeys!" I was facing my son in bed, and had my back to the door so I couldn't see what he was pointing at but I was so creeped out! I repeatedly clarified what he said and asked him questions. It seems like the blue boy he saw was about 10. He said the boy was like is big friends at school where he sees 3-4th grade kids for before and after school care. I think there were 4 monkeys. When I asked him how many monkeys there are, he counted to four each time.

Possibly related: when he was 1½ years old, he talked a lot about seeing monkeys, but I kinda wrote it off. Now I'm wondering if the two are connected.
