20 Unexplainable Things People Swear They Saw

If you’re here, chances are you’re not the kind of person who answers every ambiguous occurrence with a confident cry of “Angels!” Around these parts, we pride ourselves on being the sort of people who look for a logical explanation for even the most bizarre encounters. Only if we don’t find one do we start considering, hey, maybe angels.

Because let’s face it, as mighty as science has proven itself, we’ve all seen or heard or smelled things that we couldn’t explain. Whether it’s weird lights in the sky or some feral creature that you’re positive can’t exist, you’re going to be confronted with something at some point in your life that defies your best attempts at explanation. 

That’s why user I_Use_Games asked r/AskReddit, “People who have seen something they could never explain. What was the thing?!”

HouseOfZenith 2y ago My nephew was pointing at a picture on the wall saying boo! and laughing, then the picture fell onto the desk below it.
jasperjones22 2y ago I was walking on a trail on South Mountain in Phoenix when a guy appeared out of the side of a mountain with a lab coat and a briefcase. Just... Calmly walked towards the parking lot.
2y ago Edited 2y ago In my early 20s I was home alone. I woke up to my cell phone ringing but missed the call. The number I missed the call from was my landline home phone number. I got up and found the cordless phone on the kitchen counter. I looked everywhere, but no one was in the house and the doors were all locked.
Gutgulper 2y ago Me and my brother saw light coming through a bricked off vent in my house about 20 years ago. It was a powerful light like there was a mini sun in there. Light has never come through it before or since and we both still remember it.
RickPickle5280 2y ago I was walking along a park sidewalk blowing off grass clippings. Got under some pine trees and through a break in the canopy an 8-10 pound rock came tumbling out of the sky, bounced and chipped the sidewalk and rolled down into a creek. Weirdest thing I've ever seen.
2y ago I was in my 6th grade and going through the stored stuff (looking for old books, letters, scrapbooks...)in the dilapidated part of my ancestral home. . I swear I could see my great great grandfather's brother (whom I had seen only in old photos and had died very young) from outside the window yelling at me to get out. I got scared, ran out and the whole roof came crashing down
ReddPwnage 2y ago I was staying the night with a cousin on his ranch and in his front yard there was a basketball hoop on a homemade wall like concrete bricks stacked upwards, and we both to this day swear on god we saw what looked like a 8 foot tall coyote standing up against the wall tugging on the hoop, we closed the blinds quick and that was the night we established the existence of the ranch's very own cryptid. I think we called it like doom dog or some shit (we were 9-10)
UserThatMakesSince 2y ago 0 Edited 2y ago As a kid on rainy days, I would grab my umbrella and jacket and play around in the rain, Collecting raindrops. When I was about 11, I was playing outside in my front yard one day, I decided to go into the sidewalk to catch a bit more rain. I then looked into the street, It was a foggy rainy day, But I could've sworn I saw someone who looked exactly like me. Me being a kid, I panicked, ran inside for the rest of the rain, But I was still an idiot
Conscious_Society_35 . 2y ago When I was 18 years old, I was driving home from a friend's house with another friend. We were on the highway doing about 110kmph (70mph) and made this trip often. It's a big highway between two Towns, so just fields either side. Something on two legs ran alongside my car. I saw it in the rear view mirror and out my side window. It was not a kangaroo, it was human like. Had long arms and obviously extremely fast. My friend saw it too and then it just went off the road back into the
Fromhe 2y ago 3:30am. My buddy and i spent the night repo'ing cars. We pull up to the light in Manchester NJ of 527 and 70. Going straight. In the left turn lane, getting on to 70 East, a blue, 97-98 Honda CRV. The person driving had no face. Just blank. Like the green man from Always Sunny or NoFace from Dick Tracy. My buddy and I both saw it. Nobody believed it.
NICE NUTS srsly_organic 2y ago Was talking on the phone to my dad in the garden, about 15 years ago. Saw an orange light slowly come up over some trees behind my house then take off straight up at a ridiculous speed. Stood there in silence and so did he. Explained to him what I'd just seen and he said he'd just seen the exact same thing. Не was over 100 miles away in Manchester at the time.
creativemind11 2y ago I was standing on the seaside walkway with a bunch of other people watching the sunset. A red orb came speeding down the coastline at like 50-150m altitude. Didnt think much of it until it instantly stopped and speeded back the way it came until it was out of sight. No noise, too low for a plane or helicopter and wasn't a flare because it was flying fast, stopped instantly and then flew back the way it came. Several people saw it but this was before mobile phones with cameras were a mainstream thing.
Machismo0311 2y ago I fly helicopters for a living. I was working on a powerline one year and was going back to our landing zone and noticed an opening in the trees what appeared to be a leg. I came back and tried to get as low as I could into the clearing, thinking, it was a person, it was a full grown cow that had been completely skinned. There were no farms around and the animal didn't appear to be cut up in anyway. I went back to the landing zone picked up one of my Ground crew members
vodkawater 2y ago In my old town house, the bedrooms had L-shaped door handles. I lived alone and it was a two story town house with the bedrooms upstairs. Had multiple nights where I'd be laying in bed watching YouTube videos on my IPad, when my door handle would twist and the door would slowly open. The first time, I thought someone broke in. Each subsequent time, I'd go through the town house and no one was there. The hallway light which was also the stair light, had a switch at the bottom of the stairs and top that controlled
ExtensionAssist7000 2y ago Edited 2y ago This incident happened to me when I was 10 years old. My friend and I were cycling. It was around 7:15, and it had gotten dark. There was a road where we usually cycled, but it was a dead end. There were bushes on one side and a wall with barbed wires. At the end of the road, there was a residential complex on the right side, and a small route led to the farms. The middle part of the road was all quiet and dark. My friend and I were just chatting and
SuvenPan 2y ago Edited 2y ago I live outside city limits, there are very few houses near my home and many tall bushes and trees around the house, there is a small mountain at some distance. The nights are very quiet and there is no street lights so after dark the only lights are the lights from my house and the moon light. There are two trees a little far from my house that are standing close to one another. One night while I was outside my house with a flashlight doing something I realized there was only one of
Virtual-Elderberry31 2y ago Shortly after my mother passed away I was going through and organizing her belongings in her room. I was talking out loud as if I were talking to her. There were some boxes with family photo albums I'd been looking for that I hadn't been able to find and it was really worrying me. I was sitting on the floor and said aloud where did you leave those albums, mom? Very slowly, her closet door opened on its own. A slow, creaking movement from nearly totally closed to halfway open. I was as terrified as I'd ever
flax41 2y ago When I was 4 I got lost in my great aunt's house. I used a bathroom I didn't normally use and when I exited the hallway that lead to the rest of her house was a dead end. I wandered around between the 2 rooms I could get to and the hallway for what felt like several minutes. Eventually, when I exited the one of the rooms, the hallway was back open to the rest of her house. It was over 30 years ago, so while I'm not certain, I can't imagine I didn't shout for help.
Shaggyfort1e 2y ago When I was ~19 or 20 and first living on my own, I woke up in the middle of the night once to a pitch black room, but realized I could see as if everything in my room was subtly outlined in a reddish glow. I closed my eyes and could still see the exact same thing. I then covered my eyes with my hands, but could still see. I even got up and tested it by walking around my house with my eyes closed and was able to navigate around all obstacles and even see things like
TostiBuilder 2y ago I think I was 14 at the time, living in a nice part of a very busy city. I woke up, had breakfast and waited for my parents to come downstairs. They didn't come. I looked for them but couldn't find them, couldn't find my sisters either. I went outside an there was no one. Literally zero people in an incredibly busy area on a weekend. I panicked fully. I looked everywhere for people but they just weren't there?? I fully freaked out thinking everyone disappeared. I even checked if there was something on tv about. There
