r/RBI

Hi, so for some background info; I live in a rural neighborhood in Apache junction Arizona. I live in the hills on 1.25 acre lots there’s probably like 20-30 houses around. We DO NOT live in the rich area lmao our house is like sticks and mud situation and the front door doesn’t face the street at all so you have to come a good ways onto the property to get to the door because of that we don’t lock our house, that is about to change. I also have a fully intact 6 year old pitbull who is not very friendly or quiet when it comes to strangers and animals. He’s also very loud and excitable when he sees people he knows and likes. Basically anyone comes to the door we know bc he barks. There are 3 adults and a baby in the house and 1 adult living in a fifth wheel on the property.

The past month or two I have noticed small things that make me think someone is coming up to my house and my dog isn’t alerting and i don’t have cameras- that’s changing soon!

The first big thing is my husbands giant Milwaukee light got stolen from right by our front door, as far as we know nothing else was taken. Then a couple weeks go by I’m home alone and some old man in a white pickup truck come banging on my door. I don’t answer bc it’s just me and my baby alone in the house, I’ve seen this man once before. He comes bangs on the door and my dog barks he turns around and gets in the truck- even if I was gonna answer he never stays at the door long enough for anyone to answer unless they’re waiting for him. No one in my house knows who he is. After that I started thinking I was hearing my front door open and close, we have bells on the door, I would go check but no one would be there. I’d let my dog out and he wouldn’t alert to anything. I’ve noticed things moved or thrown away that weren’t before and I’ve noticed food going missing… all things that could be explained away by the fact that I live with other people right? Wrong. I am home alone 99% of the time with my baby. I know where everyone is in the house/property at all times. Today was the thing that made me realize that maybe I’m not just paranoid… all the adults in the house leave around 7am today except me and my baby and my dog. Well at some point my baby and I go into my room we close my door leaving my dog in the living room alone, all the doors are closed no one has opened any doors since 7 this morning. An hour goes by and my grandma calls me to tell me my dog is out in the front yard. All the doors are closed and she doesn’t know how or when he got outside. I have round doorknobs, ones you need thumbs to operate, ones dogs cannot open on their own… every single door was closed when I left him in the living room, we have no doggy doors, all the doors were closed when my grandma let him back in. And this isn’t the first time he’s just gotten out with no explanation, usually I’ll blame it on one of the people living here not closing the door all the way but no one was home when he got out.

TLDR; Is there a possibility someone is getting in my house and my dog isn’t alerting for some reason? He alerts to EVERYTHING he’s so reactive and honestly a little aggressive at times so it’s hard for me to wrap my head around anyone being able to get in without me knowing but I also don’t know how else to explain any of the things that have been going on. If I’m being crazy please tell me 😂

While eating at McDonald's in Germany, I noticed something unusual on the current "Mission: World Menu" paper bags. Every bag has the exact same GPS coordinates printed on it: 📍46.02311° N, 7.74836° E Alongside the coordinates are the codes: LOC 12 GDS 14 OPS GA I bought two bags, and both have identical coordinates and codes. The coordinates point to the Swiss Alps, near the Matterhorn, but not to a McDonald's restaurant or any obvious landmark. I searched online but couldn't find any explanation. Does anyone know if this is an internal production reference, a designer's Easter egg, or if there's a story behind these coordinates? I've attached photos of both sides of the bag for reference.

Ideally would like to figure out who it is so i can initiate civil proceedings. The cops are investigating. TIA!

Title says it all. Cops are working on it too but I’d love to find out who this guy is and how to expose him! I have a cell number that’s linked to an instagram account. I got that far with basic osint. I have screenshots too. Just not going to post them here because they’re gross. Not posting his number in case it violates rules. Happy to provide to anybody who is interested in helping.

If they leave for a month, spam calls stop almost immediately, within a day or two of their departure. Happens every time they go on vacation, twice a year for 3 years now.

Their landline is super old, in the phonebook still, and in a ton of leaks related to my fathers old accounts, so spam calls aren't unexpected, but it's unusual that they stop almost entirely when they leave the country. The calls also aren't even good scam calls, like you'd expect if they were sophisticated enough to know someone wasn't home. Standard local number but caller ID is the number repeated or "UNKNOWN NAME".

Compromised accounts doesn't seem like a possibility, I'm in charge of all their passwords which are high quality and their laptop, which they use for work only. Their phones are fine, both Apple devices with no jailbreaks going on. Router is up to date but we do have a static IP that hasn't changed in like 20 years.

My one theory is that someone is tapped into the telecom system somewhere (not locally, but like a company level breach) and truly does see that no calls are being made or accepted. I don't use the landline, I don't answer any calls, no voicemail. But that just makes no sense, their entire MO is to just war dial so much that sometimes no scammers are even available if we do answer.

Recently, I connected an old SSD I had from a few years ago.

I browsed the files, with a bit of nostalgia, until I saw a "Strange noise" sound file I had recorded, I immediately had the flashback.

During a time, there was this strange analog sound going on periodically in my house, I never caught the origin of it but it was strange, unsettling and scary, since, I'm the only one that lives here. Why would something emit a sound without my knowing of it?

It was primarily localized in my kitchen, and no, I don't have a smoke alarm or any similar device that could emit such a sound, I mean, I do have a blender, an oven and a toaster, none of them are "smart" gadgets or anything, they're rudimentary, baseline functional appliances.

It was so weird because I didn't know what was causing it, I checked all my drawers, behind the stove, everything, nothing, almost like if I was imagining it.

I decided to leave my phone recording, until I finally caught it, it was so strange, it happened at seemingly random intervals, like every 3 or 5 minutes.

It was so creepy because of how out of nowhere it was, imagine something similar happening in your home, your sanctuary, where you're supposed to be in control, it felt like that.

But, I never really got to show anyone the audio, I wasn't reddit-savvy so I didn't think of trying this subreddit, but everywhere I showed or uploaded the audio to, just got me ignored or simply got generic answers like a smoke alarm and such, with no follow up after I clarified.

Eventually it stopped, and I forgot about it, until today that I saw the file, I figured I could maybe come to a subreddit like this to figure out what this thing was.

Audio File (Google Drive)

Edit extra context: I live in Mexico, the house is made of brick, it is in it's own property, not an apartment building or similar.

I just need to know if I'm being too paranoid or not

Let me explain the context:

Before meeting my mother my father met another woman, they had two kids together

And then he abused his wife and tried to kill her so they got divorced and then he met my mother

They only had me

We grew up in a pretty isolated place, where he was fully in control and also pretty abusive

He couldn't stop telling me about stuff from another country ( His father's country )

And how we should go there

After some serious stuff with the police and the justice etc he had to stop seeing us

But he kept stalking me especially, going to my school, staying in front of the apartment etc

One day he stole my id papers and card because he needed it to take me and him back to his country

This event was maybe 3/4 years ago

And a few days ago I texted him about money, because I needed money for something

I barely text him

And right after texting him I received a very strange message from my brother, which haven't talked to me since 2019

He said "Hello sis, if you wanna text me, you can do it on this number, you're in my heart forever"

And I replied "Woah, I thought you forgot about me"

And then he said "I didn't, what was meant to happen is just delayed"

And I had a very bad chill in my spine, like a strange feeling, I asked what he was talking about and he didn't replied

Should I worry they're planning something? Because this proves that they're still in contact but what does it mean ?

My father has been trying to attack my mother in all the ways he could, trying to find mistakes she might have made or things like that

Everyone keep telling me that I shouldn't trust me, that he's evil etc, but can it be that far ?

I talked about it with a friend, but I'm afraid they don't take me seriously

And beside that, there's no public information about my father

I have his criminal record, but not the complete one

ok, this is a follow up to my post from last week about the masked number leaving robotic voicemails at night :

- 1 Post
- Audio

quick context again. there were two calls from a masked number. the first on the 26th at 3:27am, a 28 second voicemail, three beeps then a robotic voice spelling out letter by letter "four six n". the second the night after, the 27th at 4:50am, a live call this time, four beeps, same voice spelling "zero six e", a weird metallic noise right before it cut off, and the call lasted 47 seconds.

on the first post people gave me a bunch of theories that honestly held up (a verification code sent to the wrong number, an old misconfigured machine, that kind of thing), and it was reassuring. but several of them, in the comments and in dms, pointed out that what the voice spelled looked like coordinates.

at first, using just the numbers, it landed on a town in France an hour or two away. already weird, but i figured coincidence. except then someone noted that factoring in the durations of the calls makes it much more precise, and now it points like 15 minutes from my place, on a spot that makes no sense. and that's what's getting to me: coordinates are insanely broad, they could land anywhere on the planet, and this doesn't just land in my country or my region, it lands 15 minutes from my house. it's probably a coincidence, but a coincidence that precise feels genuinely strange to me.

and then a few days ago i got another masked call. middle of the day, 11:25, i was at work so i couldn't pick up, no voicemail this time, just the call. i know masked calls are a thing and it's probably nothing, but i almost never get them except for this whole thing, so getting one now threw me off a bit.

i'm not gonna be the guy screaming conspiracy, i still think it's most likely something automated or a dumb coincidence. but if that's really it, could someone who knows this stuff actually identify what it is exactly? because right now i'm on the fence, and knowing exactly where it comes from would honestly be a relief.

So,i live with my parents in pakistan,Shiekhupura.in the early 2025,we were gone to faislabad to meet our relatives because they lived there.we stayed with them for three days.then we went home back.when we reached our home,the garage gate was fully opened and every door lock was broken and every door was opened.me and my father went together inside and our decor and sofas,clothing even tables were everywhere.it looked like someone was trying to find something.then we went to the rooms.in the rooms,our clothing was fallen out of the closets and many precious things were missing such as our expensive saudi arab perfumes and much more.the robbers even took my laptop and my tablet.then we called the police.the police investigated a bit and they found fingerprints of a child.not kidding,the fingerprints did not belong to me nor any of my 2 other sibillings.but the most shocking thing is that,THEY DIDNT EVEN TOOK OUR SECOND CAR.Iam not joking,the key was there and they didnt even took it.the theft costed us 35 lakhs of damage.and the police hasnt able to figure out who did this.now,my mother thinks that my father's Uncle should have done this,since he was known to cause fights between my parents.and another strange thing.when we asked our neighbours that what their cameras captured,they awkwardly said we cant show you the footage,its having a bit of problem.after the robbery,we installed new locks and cameras.but heres another strange thing.after we installed them,i noticed that some people would just stop and start to look at our home,and i mean regularly,some on the bike,in the car or even walking.not only that,but on a close inspection,they appeared to have small fingers.but another thing,when we were at faislabad,at day two,we went to a shoe shop,where some employees were talking about a robbery that happened at their house.Can it be coincidence or something else.I DONT KNOW.

Thats why iam posting this on RBI,to get a lead who might have done it

I (25F) have been getting disturbing phone calls for almost 10 years. I've never changed my number. Sometimes they disappear for 8 months, sometimes they're every few days.

They always come from private or scrambled numbers. I usually don't answer, but sometimes I'm expecting a call. If I don't answer, they'll sometimes leave voicemails but not always.

Usually a man, but they sound like different people. Most sound live and respond to me, sometimes they're recordings or an automated voice.

Sometimes it's a guy with a pleasant voice asking me to confirm some random appointment. I say wrong number, and he starts screaming, blasting porn or gore audio, calling me a dumb bitch and saying all women exist to be raped. Think john waters serial mom phone scene.

Sometimes it's wet noises or what sounds like little kids begging. Sometimes it's men using my full name while describing how they're going to climb through my window and rape or kill me. Sometimes it's blackmail threats saying they have videos of me. Sometimes it's generic horror stuff with raspy voices claiming they're back from the dead or demons/ghosts etc.

Last night I accidentally answered because I was half asleep and thought it was my alarm. A man in a scary deep voice said, "Hello (my full name), I..." and I hung up. Thirty minutes later another private number left a voicemail. It was an automated woman's voice saying, "Hi (full name), I had a strange dream about you last night. The lost puppy went up and gently bit your hand. Not to hurt you, but like, for another reason I guess." Then it ended.

Awhile ago I hung up on a live guy doing a fake comission request that slowly became a harassment call. After i hung up he immediately started calling back over and over for about half an hour. It was so fast I couldnt block the number before it rang again and just turned the phone off.

They come around the same time every night, usually around 1 AMish but sometimes its the middle of the day.

I assumed most women got calls like this, but no one else seems to know what im talking about lol

Maybe I pissed someone off when I was 15 and they put my number on some harassment list with my name attached? I know a few unwell people but no one jumps out specifically.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Does this sound like a stalker, multiple stalkers, some kind of prank service, or is there some incel harassment community that does this? Is there anything i can do? I can't block private numbers right now as i often have to call the police for work and it blocks the callback.

Here is an audio recording.

Its been going on for weeks, maybe even months, pretty much throughout every night.

This time the pattern is different that usual, its multiple short tones, whereas usually its like 2 long tones.

I really wanna know what this is, it has to be some kind of a device.

"Green 2008 ford truck licence NNP 981 and boat trailer was stolen sometime between late yesterday afternoon and early this morning. We don’t have a recent photo. It now has black side rim covers on all four sides. We don’t have a picture of our boat trailer but it has the words Ranger on the side of it. Please contact Albert Lea police if you has seen it or have information. Photo in my banner, sorry, I couldn't find how to add it to post body.

Bonjour à tous,

Je poste ici parce que ma mère vit en Espagne depuis environ 2 ans, et il lui arrive des choses assez étranges. Nous sommes totalement ouverts aux explications rationnelles et au scepticisme. Si quelqu'un a une idée, même si elle paraît improbable ou peu utile, nous sommes preneurs.

Depuis qu'elle habite dans son appartement, elle entend parfois des bruits venant de la cuisine, comme si quelqu'un cuisinait ou manipulait des objets, alors qu'elle est seule.

Mais ce qui s'est passé il y a environ une semaine est encore plus étrange.

Comme tous les soirs, elle a servi une pâtée à notre chat, Caillou. Il ne l'a pas aimée, alors elle a pris un autre bol et une autre pâtée, cette fois sous forme de cube. Elle l'a démoulée avec une cuillère et a laissé le bol dans la cuisine.

Ensuite, elle est partie ranger un peu sa chambre, qui se trouve à l'opposé de la cuisine.

Quand elle est revenue quelques minutes plus tard, le bol et la pâtée avaient complètement disparu. Sa première réaction a été de penser qu'elle avait peut être rêvé ou oublié ce qu'elle venait de faire. Pourtant, la cuillère qu'elle avait utilisée pour démouler la pâtée était bien dans l'évier.

Elle a fouillé tout l'appartement sans rien retrouver. Le bol n'est jamais réapparu.

Avez vous déjà entendu parler de quelque chose de similaire ? Ou avez vous une explication qui pourrait tenir la route ? Toutes les hypothèses sont les bienvenues, qu'elles soient rationnelles ou non.

Hi everyone,

I'm posting here because my mother has been living in Spain for about two years, and she's experienced a few strange things in her apartment. We're completely open to skepticism and rational explanations. Even if your idea seems unlikely or insignificant, we'd really appreciate any input.

Since moving in, she has occasionally heard sounds coming from the kitchen, as if someone was cooking or moving things around, despite being alone.

However, something happened about a week ago that really confused her.

Like every evening, she gave our cat, Caillou, some wet food. He didn't like it, so she grabbed a different bowl and a different type of wet food, this time in a cube shape. She used a spoon to remove it from the container and left the bowl in the kitchen.

She then went to tidy up her bedroom, which is on the opposite side of the apartment.

When she came back a few minutes later, both the bowl and the cat food had completely disappeared.

At first, she thought she might have imagined preparing it or somehow forgotten what she had just done. But the spoon she had used was still sitting in the sink.

She searched the entire apartment and never found the bowl or the food.

Has anyone ever heard of something like this, or can think of a reasonable explanation? We're open to every possibility, whether it's a completely rational explanation or something more unusual.

Hi! I have a weird request. I'm seeing this girl that is 40, and she said that the name she uses online everywhere, which has the numbers 539 at the end, means a character that she was into as a teenager. She said that's the only hint I get, and I've hunted and searched and can't quite link those numbers to any character. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've been having some difficulties with some neighbors of mine and was wondering if someone could help me figure out how theyre doing it.

Background:

A few years ago, I lived in an apartment where I started having issues with my neighbors. It turned into them deliberately making noise late at night as well as spying on me and repeating back to me information they got on me. In order to get away from them, I moved. However, after moving I found they for some reason seemed to have followed me. I know this isn't just in my head because they've contacted people who I worked with and told them things I did in my new apartment no one else would know about.

The problem:

While this is all very odd, the big issue I have is, I'm not sure how they're doing this. Theres only one unit my apartment is adjacent to which is empty and I know for a fact that it's empty since I've been in it multiple times. At this point the only way I could imagine someone getting this information is through a microphone. I was wondering if someone could help me try to rule this out or offer alternatives or suggestions on the matter.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am having certain memories that are coming back to me this morning, not sure what is triggering it, but I am recording it here to avoid 1) forgetting it, as I have been having extreme memory issues lately, where it has been transitioning from forgetting about key details of my past to forgetting about things I have done this week, and 2) to potentially gain some help from this community about what I have been experiencing, and if others are experiencing/have experienced something similar.

Apologies if this reads as disorganized, as it is reflecting the disorganized nature of the thoughts I am experiencing & I want to hurry to get them down before I forget. I'll try my best to break it down into sections & paragraphs w/ a tl;dr at the end if you want to skip all this stuff.

Getting stared at

For starters, I am 26 & live alone, in the midwest since 2018 where I started college. Originally from the west coast. Don't have any friends currently & don't plan on making any tbh, but I have had a revolving door of many in the past, as I was growing up.

I would characterize my relationship with them as definitely friendly, but one thing that would stand out is the amount of staring they would engage in; I am not talking about quick glances either, but rather me catching them staring at my face for extended periods of time, and like every friend as well, that I can remember. I would feel them staring, then turn to look at them & they would quickly look away.

There was a point where, I think during college, this would go from these friends staring & quickly looking away, to straight up staring & locking eye contact until I would look away. I'm a pretty non-confrontational person, and from what I remember I don't think I ever called it out, but what I do remember is progressively feeling more uncomfortable, and at times even scared, by it as time went on. A few of these college ones really stick out:

1. This one ended in a way where she stopped talking to me for straight up a year, then she randomly texted me one day wanting to talk. This was shortly after college, and I kind of assumed that she maybe didn't want to talk due to making new friends or moving, but I do remember reaching out a handful of times to ask what was wrong & never getting a response back. We met outside the cafe, where she approached me very coldly with just a "Hi", again locking eyes with me, before we turned and went inside. Went we sat down at a table, we proceeded to order, all the while she is staring at me again & only breaks eye contact for her to order something herself.

She then proceeds to explain she was going through a lot throughout the past year (tbh I don't remember much of the details, but I think she mentioned she was dealing with a variety of family issues), but what I do remember from this conversation was that she was actually shaking while she was talking to me & locking eyes with me. What I also remember is that there was no tears, just kind of a very blank expression that made me feel pretty scared, like she was possessed or something.

Food arrived, and between bites I just had to look away/down to break eye contact, but when I looked back up she would immediately lock eyes and stare again and start shaking again. It got to be extremely uncomfortable & to the point where I had to excuse myself to leave, coming up with some excuse. She proceeded to never contact me again, I would try to text & she would never respond until I just gave up trying.

2. Another was from freshman year, where there was this student who would visit my floor every now & again to talk to a next door neighbor. Whats weird is that literally every time I left my dorm room she would be walking in the hallway (when I went to bathroom, when I went to class, when I went to library, etc.) and, when I walked past her, I would always feel her staring at me. Again, like the others in college, I would at times lock eyes, she would stare back until we nearly pass each other, and I would always be the first to look away.

This student I actually saw recently, at some alum event, and it was the same staring thing again (and, is what actually prompted me to write this). From across the room. It got to be extremely uncomfortable to where I had to leave early.

3. I visit a TA in a computer lab, in freshman year, and we are working through some programming problems - again, I would get the sneaking feeling that someone was staring at me, and it just got to the point where it was distracting me during this TA session. I look to my left and, a few chairs away, this student (who I think looked like an upperclassmen) actually was staring at me & locked eyes with me as well. I got freaked out & quickly looked away. I tell the TA I want to cancel the session because I have another meeting to get to, and book it out of the library.

Specifically after this computer lab occurrence, I would start studying in these private rooms the college had in the library. But, these private rooms had tiny windows by the door, and I would always get this suspicion that someone was staring again through it. At times (not all the time) I would look up and see a student peering at me through this little window. Each time I looked up to this window, I would get so nervous to the point I would feel like vomiting, like I would get this feeling in my stomach lining that would immediately start burning. I eventually just stopped studying at the library all together, opting for my dorm room when I could.

I could explain more of these occurrences from college & post-college, and there are many. In the interest of being brief, I will keep them out of this description.

Butterflies

I have odd memories of seeing butterflies, and I mean all the time. In college I would see them outside of my window, inside of the dorm itself (once or twice), and even now, many miles away from the college I used to attend, keep seeing them outside of my apartment. Hot, cold, rain, or shine, I always see at least one. This, at least, always felt less scary than the staring incidents, but nevertheless, very weird.

There was this one incident, I am just now remembering, where a coworker that was hired by our job & had this massive butterfly tattoo on their upper chest or neck. For some reason, I would constantly catch this coworker staring at me during lunch. Besides the tattoo, I remember them being like really loud, to where you could hear them from across the office. I think they eventually left the company a year or two later, and I never saw them again after that.

Crows

I both see & hear crows cawing constantly, in the past & presently. In college it was the worst, I would hear them outside of my window, outside of the library, outside of class. They were never peaceful as well, whenever I observe them - they would constantly be bullying other animals, other birds, loudly cawing all the while. They would never bully me, thank god, but they do fly & land very close to where I walk at times, sometimes right in front of me on the sidewalk. At present, they would just fly around my apartment and never land, but I again (like the butterflies) always see at least one.

Weird high school math society visit

I don't know why I remember this, but I remember sitting in physics class in high school one day, when a coach for one of our clubs, some math society, just walks into the middle of class and says he is looking for a student to join the club for a visit to New York, for a math competition. On its face, this isn't super weird, but what I distinctly remember is that this coach stared straight at me before he even finished his announcement. Like, as soon as he walked into the classroom. When he finished this announcement, he was still staring at me, which got the attention of some of the students near me as well, and so after he was done saying it, I just raised my hand.

Keep in mind, I didn't even know this man & have never met him nor seen him, at that point, in my life, but I do remember feeling uncomfortable at the thought of not raising my hand at that point. So, I joined, went to a couple of meetings after school (that were not particularly eventful, and I knew no one in them), then went on this scheduled trip to New York.

This trip & this math society was fucking weird on this trip, which took place in a hotel in (I think) Buffalo. Firstly, you were rarely, if ever, were allowed to leave any of the rooms you entered. Not just during any competition, but also during any of these math talks they had - I vaguely remember they would have adults at the back of the room that would be extremely militant about students leaving, to the point where it felt like we were temporarily taken hostage for the duration of some events. Many were very early in the morning, and half the students there looked half asleep, some actually sleeping in their chairs.

In one of these events, which took place very late at night until like 1-2 AM, students were told to come to one of the hotels large banquet rooms. I remember they were taking roll of the students present, from all the individual high schools, and they were pestering coaches of those schools to make sure all students came. Our coach was going to each of the hotel rooms we stayed and making sure we got up and went. At the back of this banquet room, I remember seeing various coaches and staffers blocking the entry way at the door, and being militant again about students leaving & I don't think I saw any left, and I remember seeing all that & feeling very scared something bad was going to happen.

Besides feeling scared, I don't remember much from this event, but at some point, in this room, I do remember students were asked to get up from their chairs, walk to the front of the banquet room & dance to some music. Groups of students were hand selected & told to do this by specific coaches, and I remember thinking it seemed like ritualistic embarrassment. The music was extremely loud, being played from some speakers, and lasted hours. I remember feeling exhausted and having a migraine, after this event was all over, and relieved when they let us leave this banquet room and go back to our individual hotel rooms.

I left the club after we landed back home & never went to any meetings after that.

Oh, another thing I remember - this society would go on to mail my parents a certificate in the mail - I have lost it by now, but I do remember it had a holographic symbol on it that I remember was strange. I think it was a pyramid or prism of some sort, and I remember the whole certificate was in cursive. It may have been written in Latin as well.

Memory issues

Lately, I feel like I have been experiencing memory issues that seem out of the ordinary. I would like to think that I used to have pretty good memory of things, both short term & long term memory, but at the same time I have this weird brain fog that takes over me every morning & is causing me to forget large portions of the week. Many times, I will say to myself that I need to do something, then a couple of minutes later I will forget what I needed to do. I want to say these memory issues started at some point in college, only because there was a certain point where I remember it actually affected by study habits & grades, but I don't remember the inflection point for this change at all.

Only other thing weird about this is that I would often wake up in the middle of the night and feel extremely delirious. When I do, my vision gets to the point where everything around me is extremely off-putting. I remember raising my hand & arm one night, looking at it, and seeing it and other things be "wavy".

Weird father incident

I think I have a pretty good relationship with my father, both growing up & presently, to where we talk on an almost daily basis. But, there was one incident I remember having with him that I cannot get out of my mind, and has been one of the few recurring memories I have had since this incident happen.

It happened at some point in college, where I was visiting them over break. My dad was pretty jolly that day, as was I, and I think we were preparing some beef for a family barbecue. I don't remember what triggered the incident, but I do remember saying something that, all of a sudden, triggered him to grab a knife from the kitchen drawer & start to chase me with it. I remember feeling extremely scared and shocked, like my life was in danger, and running up a part of our stairs, yelling at him to calm down. I think I also remember my younger siblings were also running with me & laughing/giggling. When I got to the middle of the stairs he stopped chasing & walked back to the kitchen, and I think I remember him yelling at my mom in Amharic saying something about "why she had kids", or something like that, and he went back to preparing the beef for the barbecue.

After that incident, we never talked about it to this day, and to this day I have no idea what caused him to snap like that.

Alright, that is all I can remember - I am starting to feel scared again, and I am hearing sounds in my apartment, like someone is banging something upstairs, so I am going to stop writing. I am interested in hearing if anyone has similar weird incidents, especially with the staring of individuals at them, and if there is some common thread here that I am missing.

TL;DR: Tons of weird things have been happening to me recently, up to & including short term & long term memory loss of past events, butterflies & crows appearing, weird delirium in the middle of the night, and individuals staring at me; wondering if anyone else is experiencing something similar, or if there is some thread/symbolism here that I am missing.

I’m trying to find an old friend, whose phone number i lost when I got a new phone. I can’t find any socials, I don’t know how to spell their last name, and I don’t know exactly where they live/ lived. Only states I know. No addresses. I have a few pictures with them. Reverse image searching hasn’t worked for me since the picture we took wasn’t posted on socials. I know their approximate age. Yes I’ve tried looking on Facebook, instagram. I had their Snapchat but I am fully locked out of my account. I’ve even combed white pages. Does anyone have a magic trick? Pretty please

Hi Reddit!

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm not very familiar with Reddit, so I apologize in advance if I'm posting this in the wrong subreddit.

Secondly, English isn't my native language, so I apologize in advance if I don't express myself very well.

Now, to get to the reason why I'm making this post...

A few days ago, I wanted to find a YouTube video I had watched recently. So I went into my YouTube watch history and started scrolling until I found it. However, something caught my attention.

I noticed a large number of videos in my watch history from a channel called "Wade's Train Videos". The videos only had around 10 to 80 views each and seemed to come completely out of nowhere. What really confused me wasn't just the extremely low view count, but also the fact that neither my partner nor I have any interest in trains especially such a niche topic.

My partner insists she never watched any of those videos, and I believe her.

But that's not all. I also found videos from several other channels, including "A Different View Point," "Rezault Karim," "CB Guy," and "Kausar Mia." They all follow the same pattern: very low view counts, niche content, and topics that are completely unrelated to either my interests or my partner's.

I checked my Google account's login activity, and there doesn't seem to be any suspicious sign-in. In total, there are about 40 consecutive videos from these channels in my watch history. Before and after that sequence, my history looks completely normal and only contains videos that I actually watched.

So... where could this have come from?

Why would these videos and channels appear in my watch history if neither my partner nor I remember watching them, and there are no suspicious logins or devices associated with my YouTube account?

I can provide screenshots if that would help if someone could explain how to upload them on Reddit.

Thanks in advance for any ideas or explanations!
