Each of us will always have special memories, secrets we keep close, and funny stories we tell ourselves. As well as these happy times, there are also scary events that stay with us forever. Recently, people on Reddit have started talking about their own creepy mysteries and haunting experiences that still make them think.
I was at a funeral with doors open. The family had gathered, and there was a woman we didn’t know who was dressed more casually than the rest of us. As she walked up to the coffin, she seemed to show respect for the dead person.She walked by me on her way out and said, “I just wanted to see a dead body.” She walked away with a creepy grin on her face. Who walks into a funeral off the street? That’s what she did. From Scallywag357 on Reddit
“Good night, love you,” my grandfather wrote in a text message. He had only called me twice a year, never sent me a text message. I didn’t know what to do and almost thought it was spam, but I finally replied. His death was peaceful, and I learned of it the next morning. From reddit user mustard_not_ketchup
I work at a library’s reference desk. A lot of the people who come to us are older or can’t figure out how to look something up on the internet on their own. I once answered the phone to a man who asked me to look up a certain woman.
A missing person was the only thing that came up with the information he gave. Then he says, “Oh, then how about…” and gives me the name of another woman and some more information. She also looked like she was missing! I tell him I’m sorry, but I can only give him the information I already have. He laughs and asks for my phone number instead… From Satyr-but-wiser on Reddit
We spent almost every day with my grandmother until she died because she was in hospice care. She asked me, “Who are your friends with the hats and coats?” as she pointed behind me one day. There was only a cabinet behind me, no one! rew31314 on Reddit
Mom fell asleep on the way out to check her mail. Someone in the neighborhood found her and called us and 911. She told us that her dad, who had died a year before, had told her, “Woman, haven’t we been apart long enough?” “When are you going to get here?”
When we took her to the hospital, tests showed that she had cancer all over her body. After 30 days, she died. That made me very mad at my Dad. Thanks to Rare-Philosopher-346 and Reddit
It was my job to work the night shift at a college tech center. During my late nights, I mostly just kept one lab open in case students wanted to work late. The building shut down at 2 a.m., and my office was in the basement next to the lab.
Late one night, all of the desktop computers in the office and lab shut down at the same time. We hadn’t planned to push any system updates, so I thought something else might be wrong when they all turned off and on again, mirroring each other to open Wordpad. The “text to speech” started chanting “GO HOME ANGSTY!” over and over… Before that, the basement had been dark and quiet for hours, so it scared the crap out of me. From Angsty_Potatos on Reddit
