  2. The weirdest thing I've ever seen was when me and my friend was playing football and I was going to kick off to him and the ball went up and immediately came back down as if it had hit a roof, and hit my friend in the face.

  3. I can't really think of anything weird that has ever happened to me but my dad has a situation that answers this. He one day was in Fort Knox and he swore up and down that he and his siblings was Bigfoot but then he turn and ran over the hill and wasn't see again.

  4. Last summer we had a cat that had a littler of kittens. There was six of them and one of them was deformed and couldn't see or walk. It was sad and it didn't even look like a kitten.

  6. Probably the weirdest thing I've ever done was when my buddy and I lost a bet and had to run down 245 in our boxers. Piece of advice, don't make bets.

  8. the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me was one time back in my old house in california, i was watching tv and standing between the kitchen and the living room. I was going to get something from the kitchen when, the second turned around, i saw the cabinets open and one small glass slowly come out of the cabinet and safely land on the counter. it was so freaky and weird cause it didn't break, and it was like floating, since then i thought that house was haunted....

  9. The weirdest thing I have to say I have ever done, was probably running down the main street of Mt. Washington in boxers, out past curfew, and being on private property when trying to hide from the cops. Luckily the cop let me off easy by just calling my parents to come and pick me up and take me home.

  13. The weirdest thing I have ever experiences would be when I was getting ready for school one morning and I heard someone walking around down stairs, and when I went down there to check, every single light in the house was on. Usually when my parents leave for work they turn all of the lights off. It was definitely weird.

  16. One of the weirdest things I have experienced is when you have a dream from months ago that doesn't make sense but is like a normal day to you and then a few days, months, or years later you live that dream. You never know how it happens and how creepy it is until it happens.

  19. the weirdest(and nastiest) thing i have ever experienced was while i was at the beach last summer an old man, (he looked about 90), had a red speedo on, and on the butt it said "get low" in gold sparkly letters. When music came on he would start dancing and twirl around his cowboy hat. It was disturbing and i wish i could forget it.

  22. The weirdest thing I have ever experienced was watching my brother drink out of the toilet when he was very little. He was about 4 years old. I thought it was a very weird thing that he did. I have no explanation for the act he committed except for he was very young and very young children do whatever.

  23. One of the strangest things that ever happened to me was one time when I was little I had been watching some movies on the couch with my mom. Well at some point I remember that I was really tired and so I got up and went to bed. The next morning I woke up in the bath tub with a towel as a pillow. I still don't know how I mistook a bathtub for my bed.

  24. The weirdest thing that has ever happened to me that I have no explanation for would probably be going to a restaurant with a few people and this guy out of the blue asked me if I did polygamy. All I said was "no". I felt so awkward afterwards.

  25. The weirdest thing that I've ever experienced is when my notebook slid off of my desk without being touched. It was in the center of my desk, nobody was around it, and it was perfectly level. Nothing bumped it, it just slid off as if someone pushed it. Then, I tried to pick it up and I felt something tugging on it from the other end. There was no explanation for the occurrence other than the possibility of it being a ghost. It was so strange.

  26. The weirdest thing I have ever experienced has to be the time I fell asleep on the coach in our basement and woke up in the upstairs living room floor. My dad woke me up the next morning and asked me how I got there. Still to this day I am not sure how I got there.

  29. When I was in fifth grade, I experienced something that is still the weirdest thing I have ever experienced to this day. One of my friends was spending the night at my house and we were both asleep in my room with the door closed. I had a ball that had water and confetti inside it and the confetti inside it was swirling around. Unless someone had just touched it, all the confetti would have been at the bottom. My friend was still fast asleep.

  30. The weirdest thing that I have ever experienced was probably going to my mom's hospital and listening to all the "sick" people's stories about what's going on in their life and when they got to the hospital.

  31. The weirdest thing that has ever happened to me is that one day while I was at my grandpa's house. I had woken up at about 11:00 and went into the bathroom. I suddenly heard a really weird noise and it sounded like it was coming from the shower. When I opened the shower curtain and nothing was there.

  32. The weirdest thing that happened to me is that I've nearly died multiple times in my dreams and I know what 1000 times Earth's gravity feels like. Long story on the latter.

  33. One of the weirdest things I have experienced without an explanation would have to be the time I heard weird noises in my room. I was laying in my bed when I heard something strange, but I chose to ignore it. It kept happening again, and kept getting louder until the noise was clear. I went to get my parents but they claimed they couldn't hear the noise, when it was very clear to me.

  34. The weirdest thing that's ever happened to me is when I was about 10 I was trying to go to sleep and I saw a shadow on my closet door straight across from my window and it just stayed there for a little bit and when I looked to the window it like slowly stepped out of view and I looked out the window and nothing was around.

  35. The weirdest thing I have ever experienced was a couple of months ago, sitting in my room. I looked over at this little lantern on my bookshelf and there was a little red dot glowing there. I kept moving my head to see if it was a reflection but it followed my gaze, and nothing in my room was shining red. I got really close to it and it stared at me with a beastly glow. I picked it up and set it down in the same spot, same position. The glowing dot was gone, but the spooky feeling of being watched remained.

  36. The weirdest thing that I have ever experienced and that I have no explanation for occured shortly after the death of one of my friends when we were about 8 years old. I was sitting in my computer room by myself when my mom called my name from across the hall. When I turned around, I could have sworn that I saw my friend that had passed away only a few months before. By the time I had blinked again I could no longer see her.

  37. One event, which I have found no explanation for, was the time in seventh grade; I had a dream about an event that happened in school and later that morning when I woke up, the same event in my dream happened! Don't worry I'm not psychic- it was just a weird one time thing.

  38. The weirdest and unexplainable thing I have ever experienced was when I went my papaws funeral and I went to his casket and I felt something cold on my shoulder and i turned around and noone was there, no window was open near me and there was no possible way that happened.

  40. The weridest thing I have ever experienced was with a friend. We were upstairs at her dad's house in her room and we were about to go to sleep when I realized I needed another blanket. So she told me to go to the closet and in the back there was a blanket in there. We have always joked that her room had something in it so we named it Helga. Well when I got up to get the blanket we started to make fun of ¨Helga¨, so when i walked into the closet the light turned off and wouldn't come back on. I ran back to the bed and we apologized to the ¨thing¨ then the light came back on. Freakiest thing that's ever happened.

  41. The weirdest thing I have experienced is when I was at my friends house and we were sitting by a window talking to a friend that was outside. Then a white van drove by really slow with their windows down.We continued to talk as it went away. Then it drove by again and again. The white car drove by several times after that then eventually just did not come by again.

  42. The weirdest thing that I have experienced that I can't explain is when I played with a Ouija board by myself. I was getting upset that nothing was happening so I said that ghost were stupid and I left. An hour later I came back the Ouija was neatly put on the table on top of the box with the mover thing beside it. I was home alone.

Or ill have a dream, then the dream will be almost real. Or ill have continuous dreams. Well I guess one time my lamp turned on randomly. That's pretty weird.

  46. The weirdest thing I have experienced was when I was at Karina's house with a bunch of friends and we were all there alone and it was late at night. All of a sudden we hear knocking at the door but no one was supposed to be stopping by or anything. We wouldn't check to see if anyone was there because we were all too scared. Later that night, Karina has a random bell in her house that you have to pick up and shake, kind of like a cow bell, but it randomly rang and no one was around it. It was pretty freaky.

  47. The weirdest thing I have experienced is when a bunch of friends and I went to Hometown and a bunch of teachers and administrative were there. We thought it was weird because we didn't think teachers leave school or had social lives.

  63. The weirdest thing that has happened to me was on a summer day. I was outside by myself kicking a soccer ball, and when I looked up at my cabin (which is on a hill above my house), there was a white clothed figure standing by a tree. Becoming very scared, I ran inside where I saw my older sister in the kitchen. I said, "Courtney, I just saw a white thing by the cabin!" Widening her eyes, she said, "You saw that too?" It was so freaky!

  67. The weirdest thing that has ever happened to me is I was sitting on my bed after my game and the lights were on, but all of a sudden they turned off. No one around, no objects hitting it, nothing. So, I got up and ran into the leaving room and jumped on the couch beside my dad. He said "what in the world is wrong with you" I told him. Well I go back in my room and it happens again. Come to find out, my dad had gotten an app on his phone that can turn on and off all the lights in the house.

  68. The weirdest thing that has happened to me was when I woke up with a rubber band in my hair. The crazy part was that I never went to bed with my hair tied up. So, how the story goes is one night I went and layed in my bed. I took my hair out of the pony tail and combed it out. I set the rubber band down on my desk on went to tell my parents good night. When I woke up the next morning my hair was in a pony tail. Now I knew that I didn't go to bed like that so I was confused. I asked my parents if they remember seeing my hair out of the pony tail and they said yes. I never figured out how the rubber band got in my hair

  70. The weirdest thing to ever happen to me was when I should have broken my leg, multiple times. First, when I was riding on a bicycle that was attached to the back of a mini-bike, I fell over, but was still drug by the bike, with my foot on the ground. Second, when I was running across a trampoline and my leg fell into the hole between the net and the rail, and I fell forward. Thirdly when my friend and I were wrestling and he kicked my knee.

  72. The weirdest thing that I have experienced without any explanation was probably one night when I was laying in my bed down in the basement, I heard a door slam and I was positive my parents were upstairs and already asleep. Needless to say, I wasn't able to sleep comfortably for a while.

  73. The weirdest thing that has happened to me is having paranormal investigators in my grandma's house and there was a noise from her dead son's room that sounded like a baby. Also, a woman answered no to my mom's question and no one had said anything.

  79. The weirdest thing that happened to me, was one day, me, my mom's boyfriend, and my friend were sitting in my room talking about guy stuff. Then, in the middle of our conversation, there was a HUGE bang on my bedroom window. Kind of like someone hit my window with their hand. We went outside and looked everywhere and no-one was there. So when we went inside, we looked at my window, there was a huge handprint on it, from the inside, but no-one else was in the room except us three.
