As the title says. Sometimes posts like this lead to a bunch of “paranormal” discussion—that’s ok but not a necessity. I’m relatively skeptical of that stuff myself, but they always make for good conversation and friendly debunking. This also includes very unlikely things. I’ll start:
When I was growing up (in the days before the communication revolution) my family took a trip to Chicago. During our five days there we somehow hailed the same cab driver three times, in three extremely different locations in the city. The second time all of us were shocked, and the third time we actually had him take a picture with us. I’m sure my folks have the old disposable Kodak photo buried somewhere in an album. Could he have been stalking us? I guess so. But he certainly didn’t seem like he was, and nothing bad happened. He seemed as surprised as we were. Definitely stochastic—but it’s funny how weird stochasticity can seem when it’s a little less random.
The most unexplainable thing was, in the house I grew up in there was closet in the basement that had a bad vibe about it. It was cramped and sort of angled strangely, and it felt weird in there - cold and unpleasant somehow. I had bad dreams about it.
But it was where my mom kept putting our old clothes and toys. One day after school I went downstairs to get one of my toys from the closet, quickly because I didn’t like being in there.
I grabbed the thing and shut the door tightly. Well as I was walking upstairs I heard a “click.” I looked into the room, the closet door was opening by itself only very slowly and deliberately, not like it was swinging open. There was no way it could have unlocked but, it did, and it was opening.
Just was a very weird feeling, I dropped my toy and I think I broke it as I ran up the stairs!
Super weird, thanks for sharing. One of the houses I grew up in had some weird stuff happen and bad vibes. As someone who is relatively skeptical as an adult I still can’t make heads or tails of it. Years later I found out the previous owner killed himself in the garage. Strange stuff.
I am skeptical also and not really a believer in supernatural stuff, but I do think are things in this universe maybe we humans really can’t control or understand, or even are meant to come up against. What a weird feeling to know someone killed themselves in your garage, though - that would be creepy!!
IMHO, this happens often enough that I’m 99% certain it’s caused by pressure changes. Unless you saw the actual door knobs moving…
I heard the knob moving, but didn’t see it. It was not a door that would open on its own without some pressure, even when it wasn’t totally closed. That was the weird part to me - because I know I did shut it firmly as I hated the space in there.
