Saw a lady hanging these yellow strips by a path

This is a path that goes from a park over some railroad tracks. People use this path to walk from a neighborhood over to a big park. A few days ago I was driving by and see a lady who looked to be about 60 hanging these yellow strips along the path. She also placed these little lights in the ground along the path. It’s so strange. Would love to know why she did this.

Beach rock shaped like a human ear

I found this while walking the beach on Sandy Hook in NJ this week. Can't tell if its natural or not, would love some insight, it was along the waterline past Gunnison Beach.

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

Doorway to hell in a KFC

Ate at a kfc because it was the only decent option where we were staying, the exit was entirely red for some reason and it caught me so off guard

are my neighbors secretly recording my family??

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 17 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.

Childhood Photo I Found Today (circa 2003-2004)

Found this photo cleaning yesterday and felt like sharing to Reddit and it ended up being my highest performing post ever. After a riveting 5 hours, I was told that my post may be better suited here. Here goes I guess

Strange thing happened at the beach

So I was crying at the beach having some feelings. I got up to throw away something then I came back. Found this on my towel. There's nobody near me, don't know where it came from.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Weird? things going on in my house

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.

Why would anyone pay $2 for internet in a laundromat where there is free WiFi ?

Interesting use of an old postage stamp machine
