Reddit Users Are Sharing The Most Bizarre Things That Have Happened To Them

Many times in life, weird things can happen. Sometimes, things are too bizarre and strange for it to be just pure coincidence. When they happen, we feel a bit off or strange, or even shocked. Things that happen in wild ways to us are stories we feel as have to share. Thanks to these kind strangers, we can believe in miracles.

A clock that only works once a year.

"My grandparents had a big old clock. My mom inherited it. It has never worked right, she had tried to get it fixed on several occasions. The only time it chimes is on my grandmother's birthday." -Bebinn

Woah!

"A meteorite, or some spacely thing, slammed next to me when I was 6 years old. I was alone in the yard after dusk, and a bright twinkle in the sky caught my eye. A second later something whooshed into the ground about 20 feet away and flashed on impact. It left a burned, bare spot in the grass less than a foot in diameter." -Scrappy_Larue

Talk about a major coincidence.

One Reddit user said they got a call from someone who asked about their son, Sean, and their sister, Sasha. She didn't recognize the voice but assumed it must be a distant relative who she forgot. Turns out, it was someone who called the wrong number and had a niece, whose son's name was Sean and whose sister's name was also Sasha.

They're just following each other around the world.

"I'm from Wisconsin. About 12 years ago my family went on vacation in San Francisco. As we cross the golden gate bridge, we see my 4th grade teacher. We talk to her and her husband and go on our way. Three years later, we go to Hawaii and we see them again. It was weird," -everything_is_

Family ties.

"One time me and an uncle both happened to wake up, probably from sleep walking, but get up from bed, get dressed and drive into work... at 1am in the morning. We live 3 hours away. We both did the exact same thing at about the same time. Just so happened to be that later that week we were having my cousins birthday party (his daughter) and it came up in conversation with him." -nrw28

I hope they put money down on the game.

Reddit user zarie91 said that the night before the Super Bowl, they had a dream about the score and the moves that would happen to get there. Then, the next day, the Super Bowl scores were true and the moves, also true!

They could be meant to be!

"Found a pic on my hard drive of a girl I had dated briefly a couple of years earlier when I lived on the west coast, I look at it then close it not thinking anything more of it. The next day I get a friend request from her on Facebook, and I find out she was going to be coming to the city the next day." -thewhitedog

This is heartbreaking.

Another Reddit user said that they had a dream that their brother had died in a car accident, and they woke up in a panic. The next morning, their parents woke them up to tell them that their brother had actually been in an accident with three others, and passed.

"One time when I was a teen I prank called someone and pretended to be a Serbian pimp looking for my [expletive] Rita. The person on the other end started to speak Serbian. I froze for a minute, then replied, "No, no hablo... adios." I don't know how many people speak Serbian in San Antonio, but I still have their number memorized." -jdrouts

Stranger things.

"Was driving on a 2-lane highway with my friend and an absolutely gigantic wolf/coyote/freakbeast of a dog darted out and actually ran into the side of the car in front of us, did a huge back flip, landed on its feet more or less and ran across the road, all in the matter of 2 seconds. We're still not sure what the [expletive] even happened..."-RedBarnBurnBlue

This is a true message.

Reddit user KeithStoneALWAYS shared that on the tenth anniversary of their Uncle passing away from cancer, the grandfather clock in their house finally stopped working exactly on the exact time of his death. Sounds like it's a true message from above.

Coincidence? I think not.

"Not really weird, but me and my dad walked into a Footlocker, some kid and his parents walk in behind us and the ant-theft sensors go off, my dad whispers to me jokingly 'Maybe it's the metal plate in his head.'

His parents look at each other and say 'Maybe it's the metal plate in his head.' Laughs were had." -Catsonlsd

A Ghost?

Reddit user CouldBeAn_Alien said that their little brother had passed away 3 months ago, and they had been staying home sick from school. They heard something in the living room and when they went to see what it was, they saw a toy car rolling around the living room that was their brother's.

Same name, different guy.

"I was travelling around the country on my motorcycle one summer. Stopped in Nashville and went to check into the hostel. I walked in the door the same time as another guy, he checked in then went to his room. Next I checked in and the front desk guy was super confused because he said he just checked me in. We were both very confused until he realized that the guy in front of me had the exact same name as me." -Brancher

Double birthdays!

"Girl I work with has the same birthday as me, which is not strange really, what is strange is that her spouse and my spouse have the same birthday as well and even work in the same industry. Was seriously the most surreal conversation I've ever had."-Van_Gone
