r/Unexplained

I believe something has been attempting to or nudging me towards communication over the past months with who knows what. I won’t go into details, it is seriously a lot to write out, I have a lot to share. I’ll share what happened last night.

Last night, I decided to write a message to whoever may be interested at around 22:30-22:40. I introduced myself, tried to make clear that my intentions are of good and curiosity, and asked for a reply or a sign in return. Less than 30 minutes later, around 23:00, I noticed 2 lights within the bushes in my garden as I was walking to the bathroom.

One green and one red, small but very visible and eye-catching, about half a metre apart from one another horizontally. I wasn’t sure what to do so I stared at them and smiled for roughly 20 seconds before they vanished. I investigated and there really is nothing there in the bushes, just bush followed by a solid fence, no gaps.

I’m taking it that this was the ‘sign’ I asked for. Maybe. I’m not sure.

More weirdly, the bathroom light was on and I could see that through the door’s gaps. I assumed my mother had come home as she works until late quite often.

Just incase someone else had left it on by accident, I knocked. She said ‘wait’ in my native language so I went to the other bathroom instead. Everyone else was asleep at this time as my siblings had school the next day and I could hear the snoring of my step dad.

Not long after, 15-20 minutes, I heard a car driving onto the stones outside. My mum came home. I mentioned it to her that I thought she was already home and she just gave me a weird look, righteously so.

Who told me to wait in my native language and why would they be in my bathroom? Maybe this was another ‘sign’?

If anyone has any information or experiences of their own, please feel free to share it either here or in my DM’s, I don’t mind. I’m essentially trying to perform some ‘research’.

My older brother,Sean, lived in a town about 5 hours away from me. One day several of our mutual friends asked me why I didn't meet up with Sean and them at the bar last night. I was confused, what they were saying seemed impossible. I called Sean, no, he was not at the bar with our friends last night I hung up feeling like an idiot. I'm going to skip several weeks of me losing my mind to when I had to accept that Sean had been with our friends that night and he had also spent the same night at home with his family. There was no question on either side, the friends had a normal night, they were happy to see Sean, that's all. There wasn't anything to question, it was a night, not special or even memorable. Sean had a similarly uneventful night at home, in his tidy, little apartment watching TV with his family. His wife was there, he was there. That's all.

It's a true story, I stopped talking about it because nobody believes it. I don't know if they can, I get the feeling that even when a person does believe me, the information isn't reaching the place where real events are supposed to go. It gets forgotten quickly. An interesting thing, but not important.

I just had a weird confusing experience. First off let me say I live by myself. It's just me and my cat. I just sit down on my table a red plastic Solo cup full of ice and tea. I go in the other room for a few minutes and I come back and there's my cup but it's empty with no ice and no tea.

Is a man's cup of iced tea not even safe in this world anymore?

A little-known history about the ancient Greeks theorizing Antarctica to counterbalance the Northern Hemisphere.

When i was little, i remember trying to fall asleep and i would imagine random things, for example, a ball getting impossibly huge and then overwhelmingly tiny over and over again, and this would happen with anything i would think of. Did this happen to anyone else?

Edited to add: this would also scare the crap out of me and make my heart pound and just fill me with a horrible sense of dread.

So this has been going on for a little while now and I’m curious if anyone has any answers or explanations for me because I’m stumped.

So to get into the story. Since probably November whenever I go to my grandparents house this one lightbulb in the kitchens ceiling fan will start flickering. After about 5 minutes of me sitting in the kitchen, sometimes less, this one particular lightbulb will always begin to flicker. This only happens when I’m in the kitchen according to them and the rest of my family. Sometimes during family dinners they will have me sit in the living room for a little bit to make it stop. During Christmas we just removed the bulb entirely.

We have tried everything we can think of, tightening/loosening the bulb, replacing the bulb several times now with no luck, we have even had my uncle who is an electrician look at the ceiling fan and replace the sockets. It keeps happening. At this point it’s just something my grandparents and I deal with while I’m up there, and I don’t sit in the kitchen much anymore.

I would love to hear some explanations or ideas as to why this is happening. At this point I feel like I’ve tried everything I can think of to solve it, but I’m at a complete loss as to why it’s happening and only when I’m in the kitchen. At one point I thought maybe it was the way I walked shaking the bulb or socket to make it flicker so I changed the way I walked and stepped lightly, but that was to no avail. So at this point I’m open to hearing any explanations or suggestions you all might have!

I never keep cash in my wallet, I use my card for everything. Back in early Dec I fixed my mom's car headlights, she gave me some cash to help pay for it. Then in late Dec I went to do some Christmas shopping at Walmart. I saw a homeless guy standing with a sign, I usually never carry cash but because my mom had given me cash earlier in the month, it was good timing, I gave the homeless guy all the cash I had and said "Merry Christmas!". Two weeks later I went to get a haircut, when I opened up my wallet to pay for it, all the cash I had given the homeless guy was back in my wallet. I asked my mom and other family members if they had sneaked some cash into my wallet when I wasn't looking but they all said no. Still no idea how the money reappeared into my wallet.

This story gives me chills, and I want to share it here. It happened to a coworker of my brother, so I can confirm its veracity. It's a bit long.

My brother works at a large manufacturing company on rotating shifts. One day, he was assigned the night shift in a certain area of the company. His friend and coworker, A, was also working the night shift that day. They were assigned tasks in different areas of the company, and each went off to complete their duties separately.

Here's where things get strange.

A was focused on what he was doing when a young man, R, approached him. A thought that since his job was very heavy, his boss had sent him to help, and he asked him about it. R confirmed it and offered to help. A didn't know R, so they started chatting. He told him his name, and they had a normal conversation, like coworkers, until the end of the workday.

The next day, A was reassigned to the same area and asked his boss if R would be assisting him again. The boss was completely surprised; he hadn't sent anyone to help him the day before. A had been working alone all day.

A thought the boss was joking, so he told him the name of the person who had been with him and recounted details of their conversation. They both believed the other was joking, and to be sure, they checked the security cameras. The videos showed that A was alone all day; there was no one with him. However, he was seen like if he was talking to someone the entire time.

Somehow the person A was talking to, was a forner employee who had died years before in a workplace accident.

Upon realizing what had happened, A had a hysterical breakdown and was on medication for a long time. He even went on medical leave. He tried to return to the company, but the breakdowns returned as soon as he was there, and eventually, he had to resign.

There were already rumors of strange events, like tools disappearing, unknown voices and things like that, but nobody has seen his ghosts, so they believe that R was with A that day to avoid an accident like what happened to him. After that incident, many employees were very frightened, and they had to bring in a priest to bless the factory.

I rarely, if ever, post or comment on Reddit, but I’ve been reading r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix and similar subreddits for a while now because I vividly remember experiencing 3–4 strange “glitches” myself.

I’m really curious if anyone here has experienced anything similar, so I decided to post all of the glitches I remember.

Here is the oldest glitch I remember:

This happened around 2015–2016. I experienced this strange event with my best friend on an evening before school was unexpectedly canceled because of snow the next day.

We lived in a small city that basically had one main avenue you could call the town center. We were walking down that avenue toward our homes, which were next to each other. While walking, we were passing a plastic bottle cap back and forth between us. The streets were mostly empty except for a few shop workers smoking cigarettes outside their stores.

At some point, either I or my friend accidentally kicked the bottle cap across the avenue, and it rolled under a staircase. I’m not sure if it happened right at that moment or shortly after we gave up on the cap and kept walking, but then a strange-looking man in his late 40s or early 50s approached us and asked how to get to the main coach station.

We were already heading in that direction, and the highway leading to the station was close to our homes, so we told him he could walk with us and we would show him the way. At that time, the road was closed to traffic, and he didn’t seem like someone who would take a taxi or bus anyway.

As we walked, we started talking with him, and it became one of the weirdest conversations we’ve ever had. Since this was about 10 years ago, I can’t remember every detail, but I clearly remember two strange things he said.

One was a weirdly poetic sentence about roses. That was the moment we realized something was seriously off about him. We started wondering if he needed mental help, but at the same time we were scared because of how strange he acted. After a while, my friend and I silently nodded to each other, thinking we should politely get away from him.

One thing I can never forget is that he kept saying he was “waiting for the ship” — specifically, his father’s ship.

At one point, we asked where he was from, and he literally answered, “Laboratory.”

We said, “What do you mean? Where were you born?”

He replied again, “I am telling you — laboratory.”

When we reached the highway intersection, we told him to keep walking straight for about 5 kilometers and that the coach station would be on the right side. We said goodbye and left.

About 20–30 seconds later, we decided to look back to see if he was still walking there, but he had completely disappeared.

To this day, we still can’t explain what kind of person he was, where he was heading, or what he meant by “laboratory.”

Edit 1: He actually said "Laboratuvar" meaning "Laboratory" in Turkish. We were talking in Turkish.

M/69 years old and have had encounters since childhood. My first encounters with NHI beings was as a young child where I encountered shadow beings and a little later cryptids, I still encounter them. Shadow beings are considered to be interdimensional beings. I have had up close face to blackness encounters. I do not fear them and believe they are not a threat based on my history with them. I also encounter other beings, UAPs, orbs and more later in life. There is a lot of paranormal/NHI activity going on that most people do not realize or would believe without experiencing it for themselves. We are not alone.
