Greyhound Lets Runaway Kids Return Home for Free

It’s hard to wrap your head around, but an estimated 2.8 million children run away from home in the United States every year. And it’s even more staggering that the majority of them are between 10 and 14-years-old.

But it’s a sad truth in this country.

So it’s good news that Greyhound works in coordination with the National Runaway Safeline to help kids get back home to safety.

The Home Free Program allows young people from the ages of 12 to 21 a free ride home to reunite with their parents or guardians.

All that young people need to do to qualify for the program is to call 1-800-RUNAWAY (1-800-786-2929) to see if they are eligible for a free ticket home.

As you can probably imagine, kids who run away from home can find themselves in all kinds of precarious and dangerous situations, so we want all young people who have a chance to go back to a safe environment to take advantage of this opportunity.

FYI, there are a couple of stipulations about the program. In order to get a free trip home, there must be a runaway report filed for a person.

Also, a ticket can only be used twice by the same young person.

Here is a link to Greyhound stations around the country.

Here’s that number one more time for kids to call: 1-800-RUNAWAY (1-800-786-2929).

Let’s hope a lot of young people take up the company on this offer.

A Pet Groomer Shared Videos About Things All Animal Owners Should Know About

We might think that we know our pets well and we know what’s best for them, but when professional groomers talk, we should all listen to what they have to say.

A groomer in Canada named Vanessa De Prophetis has made several TikTok videos for pet owners highlighting things that she thinks they need to know about their pets.

This video she shared shows some behind-the-scenes realities of pet grooming and how it’s not all fun and games. And also how it isn’t easy by any stretch of the imagination.

@girlwithedogs

Don’t forget to tip your groomer #petlife #foryou #fyp #viral #foryourpage #dogsoftiktok #petthings

♬ Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked – Cage The Elephant

One video she posted is full of tips about how to properly brush your pets, which every owner should know about.

And here’s another video from De Prophetis where she talks about some of the things that pet groomers might not be comfortable telling owners about their animals.

@girlwithedogs

Sadly this has happened more than once. And one time…there was worms in it.? #petlife #foryourpage #dogsoftiktok #viral #fyp #groomersoftiktok

♬ Splish Splash – Good Timers

In this video, she talks about how it can be hard for her to get her point across to pet owners when she talks about their health care needs.

@girlwithedogs

The struggle with skin allergies and ear infections is real. Don’t give up trying to find solutions❤ #dogsoftiktok #foryou #fyp #groomersoftiktok

De Prophetis also made it clear that groomers get attached to the pets they take care of just like their owners do.

@girlwithedogs

We also wonder, what did we do wrong? #groomer #foryourpage #groomersoftiktok #fyp #viral #foryou #petlife #dogsoftiktok

♬ Lean on Me – Bill Withers

And one of the most important videos that De Prophetis posted is directed towards people who want to have an “end of life” grooming for their pets and why that really isn’t a good idea. This is really good to know.

An Entitled Karen Tried to Force This Person Out of Guitar Lesson

Karens really never cease to amaze me.

They’re rude, they’re crude, they’re ignorant, and most of all…they’re ENTITLED.

And this story that someone shared on Reddit is a real beauty.

Let’s see what happened…

Guitar Karen DEMANDS my time slot because her son needs “something to do after school”.

“This happened a couple of days ago and I thought you guys would enjoy it. As a bit of backstory, I play the electric guitar. I take lessons from a teacher that is absolutely the best in the area at what he does. He’s been doing it for about 30 years now so he’s really, really good. Understandably, he’s also really, really booked up.

When COVID hit and everyone started doing online classes for school, he lost a bunch of students because they’d typically go to his class after school and since they weren’t in school or doing extracurricular activities, their parents I guess decided to yank them from guitar lessons too.

One of the things that makes my teacher awesome is that he tends to give scheduling priority to his older students (like me, 41) because they don’t give him the headache of having to manage every little thing between this and that thing for school. It kind of sucks for parents but he’s had enough of the headaches of rearranging everyone’s life because little Johnny has to play his leading role of being a rock in the school play.

Now this matters because now that kids are starting to go back into the classrooms where I live, parents are blowing up his phone trying to schedule their little darlings back into lessons, while us older folks have been dutifully attending (or doing online lessons) and paying the whole time. So if you’ve been doing that all this time and you’ve got the 3:30 slot and you like it, that’s where you stay.

This matters because of Guitar Karen. Guitar Karen’s son used to take lessons but she pulled him out for the last 9 months or so. In-school classes are starting up, and Guitar Karen wants as little to do with her kid as possible, so she has apparently enrolled him in every possible after school activity that exists. I know this because my teacher rolls his eyes as our lesson is about to begin because his phone is pinging like crazy.

I thought it might be an emergency or something so when he returned to the room, I said, your phone has been going crazy (he normally turns it off during our session) and he just mutters something and turns it off, talking about how this woman has signed her kid up for track, baseball, art, band and now guitar and in order to ensure he has something to do every single day of the week, he absolutely MUST have this 4:00 slot.

You can imagine where this is going. Guess who’s slot that is. Mine.

I’m super flexible with regard to the days of the week, just not the time of day (because I work until then). I told him as much but he’s like “no, I’m not moving you, don’t worry.” He turns off his phone and we continue on our lesson. Within like five minutes, his computer is going Ping! Ping! pingpingpingping! and he’s like “holy mother of f*ck.”and shuts the lid.

Blissful silence for the remainder of our lesson. Until he opens the classroom door and there stands Guitar Karen: A kind of heavyset woman with her lips pursed like she’s gonna give you a kiss, and her brow looking like it has permanently stuck itself in the scowl position and a “Mama Bear” t-shirt on (I sh*t you not)

“YOU!” she yells at me. Now I’ve never seen this lady in my life but she’s got no mask on so my instinctive reaction is to social distance my *ss right the hell away from her but she just Godzilla stomps her way in, knocking over a music stand and sending papers everywhere. She turns and shouts at the teacher.

“WHY WON’T YOU GIVE MY SON THIS TIME SPOT. HE NEEDS IT. YOU NEED TO RESCHEDULE YOUR OTHER STUDENTS AND STOP SINGLING ME OUT BECAUSE MY SON HAS OTHER ACTIVITIES.”

The poor guy can’t get a word in edgewise. She’s standing in the doorway so I can’t leave.

She looks me up and down. Me, who is very much a t-shirt and jeans kind of lady and is wearing a shirt that says “I like heavy metal, coffee, cats, and maybe 3 people.” and is like I BET YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE A JOB. YOU’RE PROBABLY SOME WASHED OUT COLLEGE DROP OUT. WHY’D YOU PICK THIS TIME SLOT ANYWAY. IS IT BECAUSE YOU KNEW SOMEONE LIKE ME MIGHT NEED IT? YOU NEED TO GIVE IT TO MY SON.

I also can’t say a d*mn word because this woman just won’t shut up.

Now let me reiterate that my teacher is the chillest guy on the planet. But he nearly died last year from sepsis on top of the whole COVID thing, so he’s REALLY understandably p*ssed when someone gets in your face and is stabbing your chest with their long-nailed finger and spraying insults without a mask on.

He gets between me and her and says YOU NEED TO BACK UP OR GET OUT. They take their confrontation out into the hallway. He tells me to go ahead and leave and he’ll handle her. I hear him tell this lady.

“Listen, loves_spain has been with me for years and I’d better never hear you insult her or any of my other students ever again. Your behavior is disgusting and you need to leave the premises now before I call security.” (We don’t have security in the building but she doesn’t need to know that — he was so fired up, I think HE could’ve landed her flat on her *ss in that moment).

She turns completely meek and is like “What about lessons for my son?” And at this point the teacher was like “absolutely not.” And she’s like “but he needs this!” and the teacher said “not my problem.” and acted as if he were dialing security on his phone. She scuttled out of there as I was leaving the parking lot. I wanted to give my teacher the biggest high-five.

He later told me he didn’t hear from her since then, but he thinks this isn’t the last encounter. I imagine she’s the type of person that will come down there every weekday at that time to berate whichever poor student has that spot because her son obviously NEEEEDS IT!!!

Here’s how folks on Reddit reacted after reading the story.

This person said that they think the guitar teacher was a hero in this scenario.

People Who Regret Having Children Share Their Feelings

I’ve sometimes wondered if there are moms and dads out there who regret having children.

Well, now I have my answer: yes, some of them do feel that way.

Which is kind of surprising, but I guess there are bound to be some moms and dads out there that aren’t exactly thrilled with having kids…

People who regret having kids opened up on AskReddit. Let’s see what they had to say.

1. It is what it is…

“I have two kids and they’re an endless series of PTSD triggers.

If I had known the extent and nature of my mental health situation I would have never had children.

I love my kids, but it is what it is.”

2. But…

“I love my kid more than anything, she’s the light of my life and my delight, but:

(1) Life is just easier when you don’t have a kid. You have more freedom, more options, fewer responsibilities, and so much time. You can take risks, jump on opportunities, do stuff, that just is so much more difficult if you have parental responsibilities.

I’m not talking about partying or living irresponsibly. I mean things like being able to take a job doing humanitarian work in Africa without having to worry about the safety of your family.

(2) In the world as it is, with so much uncertainty and such a bleak outlook, I worry about her future.

I am very much aware of the downsides and I think people who choose not to have children are probably making a wise choice in current circumstances.”

3. Regretting motherhood.

“I don’t regret my daughter; she’s a smart, healthy and beautiful little girl, we could not be more blessed with her.

What I regret is motherhood. I’m not an eager mother, I don’t enjoy the mundane grind of school pickups, park visits, watching Frozen 6,000 times, drawing stick figures, etc. I get no joy from it.

I’m a good mom, I’m attentive and ever present, I do ALL the things and am extremely responsible, but I’m running on a constant state of “over it” and that poor little girl deserves so much better.”

4. Single dad.

“I caved when my wife got baby fever entirely too soon after our first.

My oldest son had just been diagnosed with autism and I just kind of thought that everyone with very young children were miserable until they were 4 or 5 years old. I repeatedly told her that not at all ready to have another child but gave in. We weren’t doing well financially or personally but I just wanted to make her happy.

She asked for a divorce soon after our youngest turned 1. It’s becoming more and more obvious just how self-centered and selfish my ex-wife has always been.

I’m trying not to be bitter but I hate a lot of being a single dad of two young children without any help. I eat what I’d like to say often because I realize it wouldn’t be productive. I grew up with parents who had a terrible divorce and I’m trying to make sure my kids don’t live the same fate.

I’m lonely and terribly depressed, it feels like my life consists entirely of working and being a dad. It feels like no one will ever love me again and everything about dating sucks.

I don’t blame my children. I love them more than they might ever know. My life would be infinitely easier without kids but I hope they’ll never know how I feel.”

5. Passing it on.

“I regret what I unknowingly passed on to them.

If I would’ve have known the severity of the mental illness that exists in my bloodline, I would’ve never have had kids. Being moderately mentally ill myself (Depression/Anxiety), I never thought that mine was severe enough to go on to affect my children in different ways/severities, that it did.

However, I found out 10 years into a fight between life and death with my then 15 year old son, mental illness is sadly very real in the family and my family kept it from me. They sat silent while my son suffered since 5 years old with voices, suicidal attempts, cutting (all before he turned 9!).

I feel guilty everyday I brought children into world never really knowing they would go on to suffer from mild symptoms to very severe. My son could’ve been helped many years before he finally was had I known earlier, but thanks to my family, I almost lost him 4 times before his 16th birthday.”

6. Heartbreaking.

“My son has autism and I sometimes regret having him.

I still love him to death but when I see that he’s not like other kids and doesn’t really socially interact, it breaks my heart. I worry for his future and what would happen when my husband and I die.

Will he be independent and takes care of himself? I worry a lot.”

7. The wrong partner.

“When I had my kids I was stable and when I got my divorce, my ex wife never wanted to work still and still does not work.

To this day I send all my money to them (while still paying my bills and surviving of course) just so they can eat, go to school with everything they need, and be able to have a good child hood.

I just wish I waited to have them with a better woman.”

8. Not equipped.

“Because they deserve more than I can give them.

Financially, emotionally, and mentally I am just not equipped to have children. Most days, my kids are more functional than I am. My kids are 21, 14, and 11. I’ve been a single parent for most of their lives.

I love them and they are my motivation to better myself. But it’s hard when you live in the USA and have to choose between rent/food and buying medication.”

9. Burned out.

“Having kids makes me very tired, exhausted.

All the time running around, shouting, doing stuff they’re not supposed to do, making loud noises on tv’s or other devices. “Daddy I wanna do this, daddy I wanna do that, daddy I wanna buy this, cry cry cry I fell off the couch after you told me hundred times not to jump off couches, no daddy I don’t want to take a bath I will physically resist, daddy are you tired man f*ck that I wanna play football.”

Almost every time my daughter is with me I get a burn out, I lose the feeling in my legs and it takes a lot of effort to rise up from my couch or bed.”

10. Jeez…

“I was lied to about birth control and forced to be a parent against my will.

It ruined my life, the kid’s life, and the life of the other person.

This should not happen to anyone.”

11. Good advice.

“Due to how hard parenting is, I’m almost certain I will never do this again. So… my son will be an only child. This also brings me guilt because I’d like to give him someone to grow up with.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BABY WITH SOMEONE YOU REALLY, TRULY LOVE. Do not have a baby with a fling, do not have a baby with someone who you’re infatuated with… trust me, it all fades once you’re stuck with them, for life.

Don’t have a baby with someone who can’t put down a f*cking video game, don’t have a baby with a pothead who will sleep because he’s stoned, while you slave through the sleep deprivation all by yourself.

If you’re on the fence about having a baby, don’t. If you aren’t ready to give up your freedom and sacrifice your life to raise another one, don’t have baby. People take being a mother/father too lightly.

You will never be the same. Your life will be changed forever and will not be just yours anymore. Think hard before you commit… because once you’re in, you can never, ever get out.”

How about you?

Do you regret having children?

Or maybe you regret NOT having children?

Captivating Stories Behind Iconic Movie Moments

I often don’t think about details when I’m watching a movie because I’m focused on the story and the characters, so hearing about how the magic came to the screen is fascinating.

Start popping the popcorn and look out for 11 behind the scenes stories of these iconic movie moments. These surprised even me, a huge movie buff!

1.It’s the eyes TBH

The little girl with Angelina Jolie is her daughter.

She was cast because, unlike many of the children auditioning for this role, she was not afraid of Angelina in make up.

Image Credit: Bored Panda

2. Impressive

Bill Murray improvised most of his lines for Kingpin (1996) and bowled three consecutive strikes in front of a live audience while the camera was rolling!

He also improvised most of his lines.

3. Symbolism

In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), anyone who attempts to kill Indy is wearing a flower on their lapel.

Who knew flowers could be sinister.

Image Credit: Bored Panda

4. Improvising

Coconuts were used instead of horses in this Monty Python scene because using real horses was too expensive.

Absurdist humor can be super practical.

Image Credit: Bored Panda

5. Method acting

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Lucius Malfoy slaps Draco’s hand on his cane. Jason Isaacs didn’t know the cane had fangs on the top.

Tom Felton’s reaction wasn’t acting. That must have hurt like hell.

Image Credit: Bored Panda

6. Face palm

When you see Sean Bean looking exasperated with his head in his palm, he’s actually reading lines off of it. The lines had been changed the night previous to filming and he needed help to remember them.

You gotta do what you gotta do and in doing so he created a classic meme.

Image Credit: Bored Panda

7. Well deserved

Look closely in Deadpool 2 (2018) and you’ll notice Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s headshot is in the pile of candidates they go through for consideration in the force.

She is a legend and deserves a place there.

Image Credit: Bored Panda

8. Clever

From a birds-eye view, you can see that Neo and Morpheus’s fight choreography and clothing matches the yin-yang symbol.

You can notice new things every time you watch The Matrix (1999).

Image Credit: Bored Panda

9. Not an extra

The background characters in the Italian marketplace scene in Rocky (1976) are not extras.

They appear amused because they were actual patrons and didn’t understand why he was running up and down the street.

The shot where the orange is thrown was totally improvised. Good thing it wasn’t a watermelon. What a great scene in Rocky!

Image Credit: Bored Panda

10. Effective

To ensure the frantic emotion of Brad Pitt’s wild speech in 12 Monkeys (1995) came across as convincing, director Terry Gilliam took Brad’s cigarettes from him.

Terry got the effect he wanted. He’d previously sent Brad to a speech therapist to coach to work on it.

Who knew there’d be a perk to withdrawal.

Image Credit: Bored Panda

11. True professionals

Eric Bana and Brad Pitt didn’t have stunt doubles for this scene in Troy (2004), so they had a rule that for each unintentional hit they’d have to pay the other actor $50, $100 for hard blows.

Brad had to pay Eric $750 but Eric didn’t have to pay Brad anything.

Eric Bana is either incredibly skilled or really lucky.

Karma Got These Four Young People Who Weren’t Behaving at a Restaurant

Some kids just don’t learn from their parents (or others) how to behave when they go out to eat in a public place.

And four young kids who didn’t like where they were seated got a bit of a lesson about courtesy at an establishment.

Let’s see what happened.

Sweet poetic karma for 4 whiny pre-teens who didn’t like their table.

“About a year ago I remember the restaurant I used to work in, a notable sports bar was playing a VERY important football match.

Arguably the most important of the season.

2 months prior to the match we were getting calls for reservations and by the final week we had every table booked. Now something you should know about our restaurant is that it is set up quite oddly. Some tables have a better view of our TVs whereas others don’t. That’s compensated somewhat by the availability of two pull down projector screens.

Anyway, this particular story relates to such a table. If you imagine walking into this restaurant, the table is facing horizontally to the nearest TV. So, without the projector screen there would be two guests with their backs to the action.

Then arrives the guests, everything seems to be going fine. They arrive early, and I take them to their table. The lead of the group, let’s call him Chad obviously isn’t that much impressed.

Chad: How the f*ck are we supposed to watch the TV?

Frankly I’m a little bit taken aback by his language, but given its game day and its understandably frustrating (from his point of view he probably isn’t aware of the projector screen).

Me: Well, we do-

That’s when he interrupts.

Chad: Can we sit over there?

He’s pointing to a 8 seater booth. I know why – it’s because it has arguably the best view of our biggest TV. Nevertheless, his is a 4 man booking and that 8 seater is obviously already booked.

Me: That table is booked, as is every other-

And again with another interruption.

Chad: Well f*cking put someone else here. We want to sit there.

Baring in mind his 3 other mates are silent throughout. In retrospect they are all arguably so much more polite than this bag of pus.

Me: Well that wouldn’t be fair, now would it? Now if you let me explain-

Chad: No f*ck this and f*ck you. I’ll take my money elsewhere. Cancel my booking.

I very nearly laughed at that last bit, because I know why he made such a big deal about the larger table now. I would later find out that this particular cretin is stinking rich. He has daddy’s money. But oh well, one booking cancelled. No sweat. The 3 boys leave led by the walking testicle. That’s when the next group of customers really turns the situation well around.

Customer: I’m sorry, I couldn’t help overhear that they cancelled their booking? We haven’t booked, and we’re 4 persons. Can we have their table instead?

This is exactly why one cancelled booking for me on a busy day like this is no sweat. One persons trash is another’s treasure – so to speak. I happily sit the 4 men down, and the guys actually cheer when I bring the projector down.

That’s when it happens.

Testicle McDoucheface rounds the corner and spots the projector. He re-enters the queue for tables and waits his turn. By the time he’s up front, I can barely hide my grin.

Chad: So…we changed our mind (meaning he changed his mind and now wants the table now he realizes that nowhere else in the city has vacancy).

Me: I’m afraid your tables already been given away.

Chad: But we reserved!

Me: Yeah, and you also communicated to me just now that you wish to cancel. I’m afraid your table was already given away.

Chad: You know, that’s a really bad business practice. You should honor your commitments to reservations.

Me: Aslong as the reserving party wishes to remain. Which you did not communicate to me at all.

I then leave the host stand and tend to that table. All the while Chad is given me a look that I can only describe as ‘I f*cked up, but internally I’m gonna make sure this is all your fault’.

Sweet, sweet karma.”

Brutally Honest Memes From People Who Don’t Have Time To Sugarcoat Things

I’m known for telling it like it is and I find being candid is usually the best way forward. It also feels really good.

The 11 people in these memes would take their openness quite a bit further, giving a whole new meaning to the term “brutal honesty.”

1. Poor Timmy!

At least honesty is the policy in their household. I wonder what music Timmy’s dad listens to.

2. It’s true

I’m happy you’re proud of your sushi, but I really don’t care. Sorry. What’s the point of this, anyway?

3. Still looking

Unsolicited opinions are the worst and you need to read the room. There. I said it.

4. Proud of it

Can you think of a more useful superpower for dealing with someone you don’t like?

5. A realization

I could romp through nature or listen go your B.S. Choices, choices.

6. How dare they

It’s surprising anyone approaches me at all. No I’m kidding. Jokes aside, self-respect rocks.

7. Frustration

We all know this feeling. Some express it more openly than others, at least with their eyes.

8. Really?

Hey, for some folks it’s a dealbreaker. I’m not sure why.

9. Relatable

I can understand why someone would put this sign on their wall. I feel this.

10. Believable

This might not even be a joke. Another reason I haven’t bothered to read those books.

11. Shameless

His staff should have anticipated how this photo op could go wrong… Maybe they’ll learn their lesson.

I’m not sure how I’d react if people were this brutal with me. I like to think I’d laugh.

What’s the Most Creepy, Unexplained Thing You’ve Experienced? People Shared Their Stories.

I love these kinds of stories!

There’s nothing quite like being scared and creeped out. I just can’t get enough of it!

And if you have the same mindset I do, you’re in for a real treat.

AskReddit users talked about the creepiest, unexplained things that have ever happened to them.

1. The visitor.

“My mother died of cancer when i was a little over 30.

She got a stroke on a day I was very busy with at school, so my last words to her that she could understand were “mom not now I’ll call you later”. Two hours later she was admitted to a hospital and never woke up again.

Half a year later i had a minor surgery but because not the pain i was given morphine. I was in the hospital bed when my mom came in, took a seat next to my bed and we talked for an hour. It was so extremely real, i felt her touch on my hand and we had a very good conversation.

I got to know about morphine only a month later when I received the bill. Till then i was sure it wasn’t a hallucination and i started re-thinking my opinion about the possibility of an after life.

I miss her so f*cking much I’d take a shot would i know she’d come to visit me again.”

2. From a skeptic.

“I saw a guy accidentally drop 16 inch concrete drill bit from shoulder height.

It never hit the ground. It’s like it stopped existing on its way to the floor. No sound of it hitting the floor, nowhere to go, just gone.

3 witnesses all saw the same thing. This happened in a completely empty newly constructed building. Hallway was tiled, walls were cinderblock, newly installed drop ceiling. We had to fill out a missing tool report, got written up for it, had to search the entire building top to bottom for hours.

I’m a very skeptic person. I can’t come up with any reasonable explanation for it. Still think about it when questions like this come up. Sometimes things can just disappear I guess.”

3. Spooky.

“Driving in rural areas in New England, near the borders of Vermont and Mass, so I am not sure which one I was in.

It was late… Well OK, so late it was actually early. And there was fog, dense dense fog. Like Silent Hill levels of fog. And like an idiot who dies in the opening scene of a horror movie, I am driving on back roads. First my headlight just up and goes out, cannot use high beams because of fog. I am in the middle of no where, I haven’t seen a house or town in a long time.

Car starts making noise, check engine light comes on. So I pull over nothing much around field and fog and dark. Creepy as hell. I gamely look at the engine, I can fix electronics, not engines. I tighten all the things I know.
Car now won’t start. So I am in the dark, in the middle of no where, on the side of the road.

Because of the natural rules of how things work, my cell phone has no service as well. It is like one big cliché. But I am not stupid enough to go wandering the roads right now. So I recline my seat and decide to take a nap for a couple hours until the sun comes up.

I wake up, the sun is coming up, the fog is going away… and I am in on the main street of a tiny town, parked in front of what looks like the Bates Motel house. Houses everywhere. It was the the creepiest feeling. I was sure in off in the woods.

There was not a light on in any house all night? There was a service station 50 yards up the road, I walked up to it, talked to the guy (who looked perfectly normal), he walked over to look at the car, asked me to try to start it…. and it did. F*cking thing turned over right away. And… BOTH headlights were working.

I drove on, never got the name of the little village, and I couldn’t find it on a map. I always felt like I was in this big set up for a horror movie that just didn’t pan out.”

4. The ring.

“I lost an opal ring that my father had given me. A few years later, I’d moved to a new house in a different town.

My son, who hadn’t even been born yet when the ring was lost, was digging with a spoon underneath a concrete slab that served as patio. He pulled out the ring that I’d lost years before.

I’ve never been able to figure out how the ring not only got to the new location, but also got underneath a concrete slab that had been poured long before I lost the ring.

I still have the ring, and sometime during its travels the opal was cracked.”

5. What the hell?

“When I was 19, my girlfriend and I were hanging out in my bedroom when she suddenly let out a shriek and ran for the door.

When I caught her in the hallway and calmed her down enough to find out what was wrong she told me that she saw a live lizard crawl out of my mouth and run down my body, jump to the floor and ran in her direction.

She was dead serious about it and still shaking.

Cut to twenty years later and I’m in the house of a different girlfriend in a different town hanging out in her bedroom. The identical scenario happens. A lizard running out of my mouth, her running out scared, etc.

I can’t for the life of me fathom how and why this happened. Once was weird enough, but f*cking twice?! I’m a nice guy, not the anti-Christ. Please share any insights you may have about this.”

6. Nightmare.

“When I was 13 I had a weird flash of a nightmare while asleep.

All I remembered was kneeling on asphalt and holding my hand to my mouth, in the worst pain of my life. I told my mom about the dream because it scared me so much.

2 years later, I was hit by a car while crossing the street and ended up in that exact position, kneeling on asphalt, holding my mouth while blood poured out. My head had apparently bounced off the rear view mirror and that had knocked my two front teeth back into my soft palate.

I didn’t remember the dream, but my mom did, and it really f*cked with her. I don’t believe in premonitions, but I often wonder if maybe traumatic events can echo somehow through time.”

7. Country estate.

“My dad and step-mother got married when I was ten years old at a countryside estate which is now a wedding venue.

The other kids and I were playing hide and seek in this massive house (Every kids dream) when my sister (12 at the time) was chasing my younger cousin (7 at the time) who had long blonde hair wearing a blue dress down a long hallway.

Half way down the hallway the younger cousin dips in to this old spiral staircase that only goes up a quarter rotation before it’s blocked off with a wall. My sister jumps round the corner and shouts “Gotcha!” Except NOBODY was in this blocked staircase. She runs back to my dad crying saying that our cousin disappeared through a wall and everyone laughed it off because said cousin was right next to her.

Fast forward 5 years, I’m 15 and I get a job as a waiter at the same wedding venue. The estate has an orangery which is where they hold the ceremonies and I notice a small stained glass window depicting a blonde haired girl wearing a blue dress with the dates 1931-1937 underneath her.

Naturally I’m dumbfounded so I ask about the stained glass window – the venue manager tells me that after being sold by the original owner the estate was a boarding school for girls. She tells me that a young girl fell out of a top floor window and sadly passed away.

The hallway that my sister chased ‘my cousin’ down was an old servants hallway and the staircase was the central staircase that leads directly up to the old girls dormitories on the top floor.

SPOOKY

Learned a lot about the house during my 5 years working there, nothing else spooky but plenty that is very, very interesting.”

8. WTF?

“I work for a funeral company. One afternoon I did a viewing for a man who was having his funeral the next day.

Usually at the end of the day we put the bodies back in the fridge but because we’d been really busy, and I was at a small branch, we only had a very small fridge and it was already full so on the rare occasion, if they’ve been embalmed, we’ll leave them in the chapel with the air conditioner cranked up because we have good security systems and who wants to break into a funeral home anyway?

So the next morning I’m the first one in and I walk into the chapel and the man is out of his coffin laying face down on the floor. Not sprawled, but perfectly neat, like he’d floated up out of his coffin, turned face down, and floated down to the ground.

Obviously I had a heart attack and my first thought was someone had broken in and done this or were staff members playing a prank? A very sackable prank and I can’t imagine any of our staff doing that for any reason.

And what’s more we have security cameras and motion detectors and swipe cards so you can see who has come and gone but there was NOTHING! According to the security no one came in or left that night. Unfortunately, or fortunately, we don’t have security cameras in the chapel.

And if you’re thinking the guy wasn’t really dead, I’m not in a third world country, he was dead, he had been embalmed, you don’t tend to survive and embalming. So yeah, it was a massive investigation and no one could explain how he ended up like that. It still gives me the creeps every time I go in there.”

9. Spirits.

“When I was about 15 I was home alone in my house at night. It was just me and my 3 dogs.

My dogs were normally very lazy at night, all they would do is lay in their dog beds chilling out until bedtime. But for some reason on this night they all became very agitated at the same time. They all kept running into different rooms in my house and growled and barked at empty corners, something that they had never done before or since.

I checked the whole house and never found anything. I don’t believe in anything supernatural but that night I slept in my parents bedroom with the door locked, a gun next to me, and all 3 dogs on the bed with me.”

10. This is weird.

“My uncle used to have a cabin in the woods near Winter, Wisconsin on a relatively undeveloped arm of the Chippewa Flowage.

Not too remote that you couldn’t pop into town for necessities, but far enough in the boonies that if you got hurt you’d be in serious trouble. I used to spend time there in the summer tearing through the woods with my two cousins.

One morning when I was about ten my uncle woke us up roughly and told us it was time to go fishing. It was still super early and we were all confused because it was pitch dark and who the hell went fishing so early anyway? He hustled us down to the dock where he kept his little fishing boat and quickly launched us into the water and away from the house.

At this point we were all getting a little freaked out by the weirdness of the situation. We thought maybe we were being punished because my uncle had gone to chop wood the previous morning and couldn’t find his axe anywhere.

He’d left it lodged in a stump next to the cabin and accused us of messing with it, which, to be fair, sounded like something we probably would have done. He ended up having to drive into town to buy a new one.

He wasn’t talking, though. We just sat shivering under a blanket at the bow of the boat while my uncle stared wild-eyed at the shoreline and waved a flashlight furtively ahead of us.

We eventually arrived at my uncle’s friend’s cabin across the lake and tumbled into his house. Our uncle sent us to the loft to sleep and he and his buddy locked the doors and left, not returning until well after sunrise.

Eventually our uncle showed up with the truck and trailer already packed with all of our gear and told us it was time to go home. We all thought it was weird that we were leaving the cabin days early, but we were kids so we just went with it. My uncle was quiet for the whole long drive back to civilization.

Many years later my uncle confided to me that the reason he’d hustled us home was because he’d woken up around 3am to a strange “Thok! Thok! Thok!” sound from outside the cabin.

He’d gone out to investigate when a massive jack pine fell directly across the narrow driveway, blocking us in. Startled by the noise, he swept his flashlight along the tree line just in time to see a man holding an axe slink away into the dark of the wood.

He and his buddy had to take turns chainsawing the tree apart while the other stood watch with a rifle. He never found the axe.”

People Share Creepy and Unexplained Things That Have Happened to Them

Pssssst!

Have you ever seen a ghost?

Or a monster in the woods?

Or had something so bizarre happen that you couldn’t explain it?

I love these kinds of stories, and I’m willing to bet that you probably do, too.

What’s the creepiest unexplained thing that ever happened to you?

Here’s what folks on AskReddit had to say.

1. What’s happening?

“I live in a small mountain town and it takes 3 hours and 4 mountain passes to get to the nearest city.

Pre-Covid I made that drive 2-3 times a month, over a period of ten years. I pretty much had the curves and climbs committed to memory.

One night I’m making the drive at 2 am to catch an early flight. Cruising the curves and enjoying the lack of semi trucks. Left curve, right curve, know there’s a big sweeping curve to the left coming up when all of a sudden I’m driving on a straight road. I’m WELL aware there isn’t a straight section on that highway for another 30 miles.

So immediately I’m looking around trying to figure out where the hell I am. Not a single Highway sign on the side of the road. Smack myself a few times to make sure I hadn’t fallen asleep. Phone has no service, but that’s normal, so I can’t check my location.

Looking out the window I realize the high desert scrub trees have been replaced with a thick forest. Imagine your headlights pick up dark, heavy, can’t see 10 feet, forest that I would imagine in the Pacific Northwest. Something that we don’t have here.

I’m looking at the clock and for 15 minutes I’m driving on a straight road through this ominous dark forest when I should be on a curvy mountain pass in the desert. Right about the time I’m going to have a full on panic attack, that sweeping left curve appears and I’m out of the forest back in the scrub.

So I chalked it up to drowsy driving and an overreactive imagination until IT HAPPENED AGAIN! 2 years later, same spot except this time I’m not alone. I had my brother riding shotgun on a similar airport run, and all of a sudden I’m on the straight road.

That time it only lasted about 5 minutes before my brother looked around and asked “where the hell are we?”. Cue the sweeping left curve appearing and back in the desert.

Even though I can’t explain it, I’m at least grateful I had a witness.”

2. Are you a believer now?

“First let me say I don’t believe in ghosts or demons or anything like that…

My wife and I had just gotten married. We lived in a small, one bedroom apartment and I got up one night to take a leak and just had a creepy feeling while I’m standing in the bathroom.

Like the hairs on my neck were standing up. Anyway, I shake it off and go back to bed. The next morning my wife tells me she had a terrible dream about a demon that was watching her.

I didn’t tell her about my feeling because it would have scared the sh*t out of her. Still weirds me out a little.”

3. Weird!

“My family was sitting on the back porch watching a thunderstorm.

My older brother grabbed a toy gun out of my hand and said “Watch this.” He pointed the gun at a tree in the back yard and pulled the trigger. As the toy gun popped, lightning struck the tree he was aiming at and the tree fell over. He handed me the toy gun back with a smile and walked away.

My parents witnessed this event as well. It was one hell of a coincidence, but d*mn was his smile creepy. Like he knew it was going to happen.”

4. Eerie…

“A buddy picked me up to go to a couple bars, have a few drinks and what not. Everything was fine, I had a nice little drunk going on.

Around 11 pm, I went outside to smoke a stogie, then… boom I woke up at my house in my bed, the following morning. I don’t recall even leaving the bar, let alone how I returned home, I had multiple missed calls from my buddy. Called him up to see what happened, and he said I just disappeared.

The creepy part is, after got off the phone with him, I went to the restroom, to realize, some way, some how, during the time I went M.I.A. I had received a haircut and someone shaved my face…. hmm weird, I do my business, only to realize my wiggly bits had been groomed as well, with expertise precision.

I must add, not a missed hair, nick or cut. Still to this day don’t know what happened, but apon sharing this story with other friends, I was spotted at other bars though out the night, pre-hair cut, and alone.”

5. Chris.

“I was in Big Brothers Big Sisters as a kid. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a program where adults sign up to mentor kids one on one and offer them guidance.

I basically hung out with this random guy named Chris for a few hours a week. One day, he told me he was going on vacation and when to expect him back. That date rolled around and I didn’t hear from him so I decided to give him a call.

A voice I didn’t recognize answered the phone. I asked if Chris was home. The man said that there was nobody by that name there. I double checked that I had the right number and asked the guy if he was sure.

He was like “my wife and I have lived here for years and there has never been a Chris here” so I said sorry and hung up. I never heard from Chris again.”

6. In the woods.

“When I was very young, maybe 4 or 5, we had a particularly nasty snowstorm that wiped out power for days. We lived in New England, in the middle of farmland, so while our neighbors were within walking distance, it was a short hike to get to them.

I don’t recall exactly what lead to this, but my mother needed to visit one neighbor to lend them something while my father got the generator running. I wanted to go with her, so she put me on my snow sled and pulled me along that way. It was dark out, but when everything is covered in snow it sort of has this eerie blue glow to it.

My mother had a flashlight. We got to the neighbor’s house, she dropped off whatever it was they needed (maybe batteries or candles or something, I don’t remember), and then turned around to head home. It was only 1/4 mile or so, but it was through the woods.

When we hit the midpoint of the walk back, we both heard this horrifying howl/scream like something out of a monster movie. Best description I can give was in the movie Predator when the Predator cauterizes its wound and screams, which echoes through the forest. My mother picked me up out of the sled and ran home. We both described the sound to my father, who didn’t believe us.

A week later we found a bunch of dead deer that had been torn apart just 30′ into a wooded path near our house, and not by poachers/hunters. I’ve been around coyotes my whole life- they definitely didn’t do this either. Coyotes will pick apart their prey and run off with pieces. This was 4 or 5 full sized deer with large chunks missing and that’s it.

Our neighbor was a hunter, and we asked him about it too. He said he had heard some weird sounds but had no idea what it was either.”

7. Where is he now?

“I was in a car accident and really thought after I had hit my head I thought I was going to die. I KNEW I was going to die. I swear to God I remember seeing wings, possible angel wings. I was pulled out of my car by a mysterious man named Tom.

He had told the cops he was just a local bystander, I knew he was in the truck behind me. He stayed with me right after EMS and cops came. After I talked to police and was examined by EMTs I turned around to talk to and thank Tom but he was no longer there.

My question is where is Tom now? What does he do? I would love to sit down with him and just talk about it and how he saved my life.”

8. The stranger.

“It’s 3am and I’m in my front yard just smoking a joint chillin when out of the blue down the road I see a dude walking towards me.

In my neighborhood there’s a bunch of houses behind me but ahead is just construction. So now I’m thinking was this guy sleeping in these empty wooden houses? He passes by me and as he passes he mumbles something but I can’t really hear it good.

He also sounds concerned and as he walks on by I hear someone call my name behind me. I turn back and no ones there but when I look to see where the guy went he’s turned around and walking back toward me. Freaked the f*ck out I run inside and lock the door. I look out the window and I see the guy walking back and forth and eventually leave.

Then I heard a knock at the door. I looked and no one was there. Creepiest night in a long time.”

9. Weird stuff happens around here.

“Back in 2002, my whole family vacationed at a cabin site on Fair Lake, Michigan, near Kalamazoo.

I was only 1 year old, so I have no personal story, but of the 15 people with us over the course of the stay, almost every single one had some odd experience. I’ll begin with the rationalizable stories, then the ones I can’t explain.

Pretty much everyone says they constantly had a “bad energy feeling”, and felt like they were being watched.

The lights were constantly going out throughout the stay, and someone had to go in the basement to reset the breaker. I think this may be just poor wiring in the old cabin personally, but it was oddly frequent.

My aunt says she was sleeping when all of a sudden, a ghost was in front of her, punching her and yelling “get out”. My mom says she was pretty drunk that night though.

My grandpa was sleeping in the front parlor, when, around the early morning, he saw a “prism” floating outside near the lake. He went out to look but when he was outside, it wasn’t there. I wonder if it was just a sunlight reflection though.

My uncles, who were in their 20-30’s, had slept outside in a camper. One night, my uncle was sleeping until he was woken up by someone striking the camper from the outside. He called out “yeah, nice try”, but all my uncles woke up too and replied “it’s not us man, we hear it too”.

They say they all sat there for a few minutes until the pounding stopped. When I ask them today, none of them say they did it, but since everyone by this point was aware of the odd occurrences, one of them may have played a prank and banged on the camper.

My dad and uncle were inside talking late at night when a door suddenly slammed. My mom says there was no way wind could have made the door move, since it was an interior door and wasn’t windy. My dad doesn’t like to talk about this experience for some reason.

My mom was tucking me and my sister in for the night, and while she was leaving, heard a child laughter. She says the laughter came from another room and sounded nothing like us.

One night, my cousin locked my uncle’s keys in his truck. My uncle called a non-emergency number and a police officer came to get the car unlocked. While doing so, and nobody in the cop car, the police lights suddenly turned on. When my family asked about this, the officer responded, “yeah, weird stuff seems to happen around here.””

10. Premonition.

“When my grandfather was dying of cancer, he kept asking my father if me or my brother had a son yet. We were in our mid-late teens so the answer was hopefully no. He spoke to us all in a room and told us a story.

In the mid 30s his son fell and cracked his skull. He held him while his wife drove them to the hospital. On the way he said David opened his eyes and grabbed his arm and looked right at him. He said mom has cancer in her liver, it can be fixed but you have to tell the doctor when we get there.

David died in the car before the hospital and Granddad forgot about the warning till the funeral. Grandma went to the doctor, they found a tumor, removed half her liver and she survived. After a few years my father was born and then a pile of other kids, without that warning none of use would exist.”

11. Being watched.

“I’m a construction foreman and sometimes work late.

I was walking around a construction site one evening making a list of things that needed to be done the next morning. It was dark and I was the ONLY person there. the crew had left a few hours before and the entire construction site was fenced off.

While I was making my list, I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I ignored it for a moment, and kept working. Then it sunk in: It was a f*cking person just staring at me from about 50 feet away.

As I turned my head this “person” slowly walked backwards out of my view towards the area where everyone parks. but it wasn’t a normal walk, almost seemed to float. Not really floating, but definitely not a normal walk with steps. So I hauled *ss outside to confront them and they were gone.

Not a soul in sight for miles. I couldn’t shake the feeling I was being watched the rest of the night.”
