r/djinner_13 Was coming back on the plane from a very important job interview and I thought I blew it. I was spacing out during the entire flight and when the plane landed and I finally got up to grab my bags an older woman 3 aisles down from me looked straight at me and said “don’t worry, it’ll be ok. You’ll get it”. I reflexively thanked her and ignored what she said but a few hours later I got a call that I got the job. Only then did I remember what she said. I still don’t know why she said that and how she knew what my problem was.
r/Tirefighter6436 Back in 1997, I was aged 8. I shared a room with my younger brother who was 4 at the time. We used to have our grandparents over for dinner most nights and it wasn’t uncommon for them to stay long after we had gone to bed. They would come and kiss us goodbye in bed when they were going to leave. This one summers day, I woke up during the night and saw my grandad. It wasn’t unusual like said. I said “Hi Grandad, are you leaving now?”, he came and sat on my bed and said “Yes, I’m saying goodbye for now.” He kissed me and then went and sat on my brothers bed and said kissed him as well. Then he left. My childhood intuition picked up that he was a bit sad. Next morning, I went into the kitchen to find my mum crying. She told me that my Grandad died last night of a sudden heart attack. I said “How can that be, I saw him last night, he came and said good night to me.” My mum said that my grandparents left shortly after I went to bed last night. I also remembered that my grandpa said goodbye and not goodnight. It was quite a shock but at the same time a little comforting too. I don’t remember a lot from my childhood but this is a memory that wont forget. Edit: Thank you everyone for the likes, awards and comments. Very much appreciated!
r/ethelraed Not that exciting but…… I was walking in woods by the sea in southern England and I came across a rock formation that had a sign The Wishing Seat. It was rather like a giant throne, although obviously natural, not man-made. I sat on it, and, entirely frivously made a wish. As was sitting on it, a young family passed along the path in front me; a man, woman, boy, and girl, all very ordinary in dress and appearance but strikingly beautiful. So the following year I was walking along the path again, but in a different month and at a different time of day. I came across the Wishing Seat again and sat on it, and the same family passed by again. The world is full of coincidences, some significant, and some not, but this seemed a rather a long coincidence.
r/ElectricPinkMango This story is hard to explain, but still get shivers when I think of it. He was a customer was helping out. Honestly there was nothing that really stood out with him. He was handsome, but in a normal way. He dressed normal. Talked normal. Was blandly friendly, as you are with strangers. Just a normal upper-middle class type guy. The only thing that really stood out was his blue eyes. Not in a goofy supernatural type way, he just had very very blue eyes. But for some reason he made every hair on my neck stand on end. Alarm bells were going off in my head like crazy, all I wanted to do was hide. I have NEVER felt this way, before or since. Even when I was followed home by someone, have never felt such gut deep “you are in danger” as I did with this guy. After ringing him through, he reached out to shake my hand. This is not common at all here, but out of politeness I took it and shook. And INSTANTLY got so nauseous I almost gagged. The moment I got nauseous he just held my hand and smiled, and something in that smile made me absolutely sure he knew what was feeling and he enjoyed it. I’m not religious in any way, but remember thinking in that moment “oh fuck, is this the devil?”
After he left was still so sick feeling had to go to the back and sit down.
I’m not sure if he was a serial killer or what, but to this day I have never experienced something even close to that encounter. I absolutely felt bone deep certainty that I was in some sort of danger. I felt every bit the prey.
It’s a hard story to explain, because it’s all based on feelings, so I haven’t told that many people about it. But to this day it is absolutely one of the scariest and weirdest things have experienced.
r/unknown I live in a small town, with very few black people around (central Europe). I was pretty down because of a girl, and went for kebab. While I was standing in a queue for kebab, in the pub right next to it, there was a woman that caught my attention, because of two things, initially because of her race that’s just uncommon to see there, another the fact that for sure never seen her before, despite living in this small town my entire life and going around this pub every day. Another thing I noticed was that she didn’t order anything, she just sat there by the table alone. Then I ordered my food, and while waiting for it, the woman leaned over the fence that separates kebab place from the pub, looked directly at me and offered me an ice cream. I accepted the offer, and immidiatelly after that she looked me in the eyes, smiled a bit and clearly, clamly said,,I love you”. Then as received my kebab, I turned around where she was, and she was gone. Vanished as quickly as she appeared. I inspected the ice cream, and it seemed ok and package was intact, it was delicious. TLDR: Unknown, but very kind stranger gave me ice cream, said “I love you” when I needed it. And then vanished.

There was this kid I used to hang out with when was around 8 yo, and it still obsesses me He wasn’t from my school, and neither was he in the only other school in town, one day he just showed up at the end of school day and played with my friends and I, just like kids do He was really nice, polite, clean but he just seemed to have no family. He would never talk about his parents and avoided conversations about family. There was some sort of orphanage nearby but friends who lived there said that he didn’t live with them. He was weird but in a… weird way. He was nice and fun, yet really mature for a 8yo kid. He had this emotional intelligence, he understood people, talked very well about the others’ feelings but barely showed his. He had this strange aura. He would start really deep conversations, that were oddly deep for kids our age. He also had a smooth voice, at an age when most of the kids have a voice that tempt adults to make em mute. One day, one of my friends lost his grandma and he found oddly accurate words to reassure him, that scene is still in my head to this day. On the other hand, he knew no cultural stuff. Every film, cartoons, comics, tv shows, he wouldn’t know. We showed him stuff like WWE, Dragon Ball and other manga/anime and he became really fan. The only times he would act childish was when we wanted to know more about his life. He would answer funny and barely comprehensive things like some kids do. Today I’m a hundred percent sure he did that on purpose.
I really looked up to him although he was no leader or whatever. He was weird in a cool way, or cool in a weird way, at an age when a weird kid is just a weird kid no one wants to fw. He felt out of this world to me. My mother had a strange feeling about him, and years later asked her about him and she told me that she couldn’t do anything because he was so nice and polite, but to her he wasn’t a child and seemed really weird.
He just hung out with my friends and I for about a year, I have great memories with him and I feel like he taught us much. One day he just stopped coming to play in our neighbourhood and no one saw him again I have more anecdotes about him, and as time passes more things feel wrong/weird to me. I have a deep feeling that I met someone too special or whatever, I’m not that much into supernatural stuff yet I could start believing in lot of things just because of this kid.
r/notlucky01 There was a young woman, about my age at that time (early 20’s), sitting alone at a nearly empty coffee shop. She seemed like she was trying not to cry, so I went over and asked if I could sit with her. We talked for hours. About everything and nothing at the same time. She didn’t go into detail about what was going on with her, but she felt like there was no hope. I did my best to encourage her; told her not to give up. Tried to give her reasons to hold on, thought of ideas that might give her a spark of hope. The coffee shop was closing. I wrote my phone number down and told her that I would love to hang out with her again. And she could call me anytime. She looked at me and told me that everything I said to her wasn’t for her to hear, it was for me. I hadn’t told her that I was in fact suicidal. I had originally gone to the coffee shop to think about how to best kill myself. While talking to her, I figured if I could maybe help someone else not feel the way I do, I wouldn’t kill myself, at least not yet. She not only saved my life that day, but gave my whole life a new purpose filled with hope. I’m a therapist now, I help people all day. She hugged me then walked out the door. I ran after her because she forgot the napkin with my number on it. I was no more than 2 seconds behind her. I got outside and there was no one there.
r/BeverageBeast One evening in winter I didn’t leave work till almost 7pm, so I was walking home and thought fuck it I’ll cut through the park to get home quicker, even though it’s really poorly lit. A couple of minutes into the park I could hear a group of people behind me and in front of me and was thinking “fuck I’m going to be jumped”, up ahead there was a lamp post with a CCTV camera on it so thought I’ll stop there and at least I’ll get jumped on camera. As stood beneath this light, this really tall woman jogged over and stopped next to me, I’m six feet tall and she was way taller than me. She asked me “is it okay if I walk with you?” and I was like sure okay I guess. She walked with me to the edge of the park, talking about how dodgy the park was at night, as soon as we got to the edge of the park, she told me to have a good night then jogged back into the park. It was a really weird experience, I felt certain I would have been mugged or something if she wasn’t there. I walked through that park every day for about a year and never saw her again.
