Waking up and seeing my son standing over me at 2am. Nearly booked an Exorcism. When he was younger, if he woke up in the night he wouldn’t wake me up but instead would just stand there until I opened my eyes…
When I was 5, my little sister dying of meningitis so quickly after falling ill and the Drs not being able to do anything.
Really shocked me as kids aren’t supposed to die, much less those younder than me. I had to question mortality and my place in the world, become comfortable with the fact I can literally die at any moment due to things beyond my control.
The computer, as of years ago, I studied software engineering before windows. And everything is what it is today. Back in the day when it was DOS &Windows3.0, and I saw today!
Huge head on car accident that happened to the car driving in front of me on the road. Everyone turned out to be okay, but in the moment it was terrifying.
Watching my dog die. He started off by looking dizzy, not being able to stand, leaning over slightly. He ended dying while lying on his side, making a running motion and crying out in pain.
When we went on an Atlantic City bus trip right after graduation and as we were going through the toll booths, there had been a car accident and the driver of the corvette was decapitated.
Of course as we were coming upon the accident we all looked out the bus windows and saw his head about ten feet from the back of his car, I’ve not ever forgiven myself so being nosy. Wish I’d never looked at it
Degloved leg of woman run over by a pickup in front of my house. (I helped save her life and we’re good friends now!)
Big ass moose following/stalking my husband and me on a trail in Jackson Hole, whilst we recklessly (seriously- we’d never gone hiking before) hiked the trail after the very first thaw of the season (which is animals waking from hibernation and mating season). Bastard was about ten feet away for the entire mile that he accompanied us on our walkabout. Rangers hadn’t even been out on the trails yet. 10/10 do not recommend.
In highschool, I came home from school and found my mom in a puddle of blood in the bathroom. It was everywhere and I couldn’t tell where it was coming from. I couldn’t get her to wake up, and her pulse was weak. I called 911, and paramedics came and got her. She had had a colonoscopy that morning, and they removed a couple polyps. In a healthy person, polyps of that size don’t require cauterization, but my mom has von willebrand disease, a clotting disorder. Even a simple fall that wouldn’t hurt you or I could cause her to bleed out internally. I’ll never forget walking into that scene, and seeing her completely gray and barely breathing. I had no idea a human could lose that much blood and still survive. This was almost 20 years ago now, and she’s doing fine, thank goodness. We were so grateful in the moment that she was still with us that we never pursued any kind of legal action, even though the doctor that performed the procedure refused to admit a mistake was made, and even accused her of taking blood thinners. My guy, her blood IS thin, it’s in all her charts 😭
As a teen I was getting ready for bed when the cops decided to raid my house because my brother stole some expensive golf clubs and some other stuff from my understanding
A large group of aggressive people from Dominican Republic coming to rob me blind..
I was in Dominican Republic on a grad trip, and everyone I was with wanted to get coke, so I said fuck it, I’ll be the one to go out and get it. I went to a bar off the resort and saw a lady scantily dressed, and figured to myself, she’ll know who to ask, so I asked her. She agreed and told me to get in a cab with her to go pick it up, drove for far too long, like 45 mins in this cab.. till the cab pulled over on the side of the road, and there was 2 men sitting on a scooter. The lady said “go with them”, so I did (I felt like I was already in too deep to turn back now) and they actually sandwiched me in the middle of the 2 men. So now there is 3 of us riding this scooter, and I’m not a small guy by any standards, but we end up making it to this shack type house. The guy says go in there and get the stuff, so I did. The deal went well, and I was feeling pretty proud of myself, but as soon as I walked out of the door, there was about 8 or 9 DR guys yelling at me, they grabbed me and roughed me up and took all of my money, leaving me stranded in a random feild in the middle of nowhere with zero money and no passport and no cellphone. So I was completely stuck, but I saw a older lady watching me, so I went over to her and started talking to her, and she took me back to her place and somehow called a cab, ended up paying for the cab to “take this white boy home, he’s had enough”.. I was gone for hours and all of my friends assumed I was dead. But anyways, I made it out. Life is good.
TLDR: I got mugged by a bunch of big scary dudes from the DR, and left absolutely stranded with no idea what I should do.
Open casket funeral for a great aunt. We don’t do that in our culture and noone told me to anticipate it, so when I was one of the last ones to walk in solo I quietly screamed and burst into tears.
When I was in elementary school I would get off the bus and go straight to the back yard to play with my dog.
One day I come home to a rabid dog.
I didn’t know what rabies was yet, and it was pretty early stage so she was just lethargic and confused. I tried to play with her, but slowly, some survival instinct in me started taking over and telling me I needed to book it inside the house, immediately.
I don’t know if I just remember it this way or if the eyes of rabid dogs really do turn red, but I do remember her staring at me silently with those huge red eyes.
I was working overnight remodeling a Staples. Was in the inventory closet and saw a guy get electrocuted (AC breaker box approx 1400 volts) 6ft away from me until the panel blew out knocking him off it.
He was on fire. I put him out with an extinguisher…he had burns on 70% of his body. Luckily we were in the one town that had THE top tier burn unit in the state. He made it to the burn ward and survived the burns.
His went into heart failure from the electrical side effects and passed away.
I couldn’t have been any older than 5 when this happened, so I’m not clear on the details. I do remember being on a road trip with my family and stopping at a rest area. There happened to be a man and woman there as well. They spoke Spanish and we spoke only English. Somehow, we all managed to communicate through smiles, laughter, nods and gestures. They were both very friendly. I have no idea whether or not they were a couple or related in any way. We watched as they walked away to rejoin their group, both climbing into the bed of a pickup truck. As the driver pulled away and headed to the freeway entrance, my dad made a remark about not liking where they were sitting due to the danger. We merged back onto the freeway as well, with a few other vehicles between us and them.
Just a few very short minutes later, my parents were yelling and cursing and my dad was applying the brakes. I looked up to see bodies flying. 40-plus years and my brain’s need to protect itself have blocked out the details of what exactly occurred, but apparently, the pickup driver took a blind curve too fast and came up on another vehicle. The driver either hit the brakes and/or swerved to avoid collision. The man and woman in the bed of the truck were ejected. I overheard my dad telling someone that the woman has been split in half. We have never stopped at that rest area since, and I used to always close my eyes when we’d approach that stretch of the highway.
Being inside of a waterspout in OCMD when my kids were 3 years old. It made landfall right where we were staying and there are no basements (because duh) so I remember hovering over them closely and trying not to panic because I didn’t want them to know/see.
I recommend anyone who doesn’t believe in ghosts gloss over this.
It’s also not that extreme, but nonetheless scary.
I was about 11 when these events occurred. They occurred in a small time frame of eachother.
First instance, I’m standing outside the building I lived in with three friends. All same age except for the 6 year old, who was 1 of us 4.
I glance over at the 6 year old. I saw him my peripheral hanging out about, red shirt white skin just as I expect.
When I looked over at him, woosh – he vanished.
Just as I noticed, one of the other guys noticed and started freaking out. He also saw him in his peripheral and had the same experience I did at the same time.
Scenario 2, same age, but by myself.
I went out to the store, and headed home. Entered the back of the building and headed up a flight of stairs to floor 2 where I lived.
As I proceed up and round the corner, I’m abbrassively and suddenly approached by a large brownish flying mass. It didn’t seem to have any form but was rapidly flailing about.
I watch it fly at me, watched it pass me, and watched it shoot down the stair case.
I ran inside the apartment screaming my fuckin ass off.
fight outside a liquor store. me, my sister and my cousins were getting drinks after going out for dinner. a guy thought this woman was a prostitute and tried to solicit her, she did not take that kindly and ended up stabbing him. the guy threw a chair that was left outside and it hit a tree and broke everywhere (i was maybe 5 feet away, the wood flew right past my face). eventually they ended up beating each other with pieces of wood from the chair and we all decided this was the perfect opportunity to gtfo. the cops were called but we don’t know what happened after
My husband after getting an ejection from the drs he came home and the next day he just passed out while standing up. Scariest 1 minute in my life I legit never screamed like that in my life. Kept thinking “we are only 28 and 29 he can’t pass away” and I didn’t know what to do other than shake him. He wouldn’t respond and wasn’t moving. He woke up thankfully and has been fine since ( this was 2 years ago) but I truly hope that never happens again. Such a helpless feeling
Neighbor across the street killed his girlfriend. We didn’t witness the actual killing but we witnessed the attack before he dragged her back into the house. The sudden lack of screaming is forever ingrained in my mind.
Tornado coming right at my Amtrak train. We passengers watched it destroy a barn about 30 feet away and it kept coming right at us. The conductors were running up and down the aisle, shouting. The tornado blasted across our tracks mere seconds after the last car passed. Timing is everything.
An olive green SUV that used to stalk me all around the city I lived in for month after month. The driver would circle blocks and make u turns, drive recklessly trying to corner me, and hopped out with his gun trying to kidnap me. One time I was close enough to home to get my male housemate to come save me with his own gun. Most times I had to hide under random cars or trespass hiding behind walls and bushes. It became so unsafe to take public transit in that city because of that SUV I moved out of my hometown entirely and have never gone back. That driver would follow me to work and home every day. I sometimes took the long route trying to lose him. Getting on different buses and trains to needlessly lengthen the route. One time I stayed on the bus all night afraid to get off. He tailgated the bus up and down the bus’s route all night long and when I got out in the morning there he was trying to snatch me. I had many moments where I believed I would die at this man’s hands and my body would be lost in some gutter never to be seen again. One night my phone died – a friend has invited me over to their place but my phone died and they didn’t fucking answer the door no matter how much I rang. I was trapped outside their spot and the SUV was right there driving up and down that side street waiting for me. I was hiding under a short brick wall. I sprinted to the nearest big street like I never sprinted in my life. The SUV followed me onto the major street, where it kept making u turns back and forth right in front of me. I kept sprinting til the first person I saw. The street was totally empty except for an older lady who was a crackhead at a bus stop. She saved my life by not leaving my side and ensuring I got onto the bus safely.
Nothing could ever scare me as much as that damn olive green SUV. It also had a blanket with triangles covering its back window. Windows were tinted. I remember it all
The crumpled up vehicle I had just managed to extricate myself from after it slammed into a tree at 65mph and tipped on its side. I can still see it clearly in my head 8 years later. I’m finally to a point where I don’t have a panic attack thinking about it.
When I was in middle school, had to be 6th grade at most, my grandpa and I were camping in the woods behind the house. My dog ran into the woods after something and we heard a howl. Grandpa picked me up, left the camping gear, and took off on the four-wheeler. As we were riding away it was the first time I had ever seen wolves, and they weren’t happy.
Being ambushed by terrorists in a remote area, they had blocked the road at night. A couple weeks before that, they had stopped a bus full of passengers in the same area and slaughtered everyone.
When I was 16, I seen a guy push his girlfriend to the ground while hanging out with a male coworker at a park. I tried to get my coworker to check what was going on (I’m a female and the guy was pretty big.) My coworker didn’t want to get involved which was understandable but then the guy punches her right in the face and that’s when my coworker asked what was wrong n the guy yelled at him and so I asked the girl if she was okay and she said she was fine and to just leave them alone. She didn’t look fine. That’s when I found out how real and terrifying domestic abuse is.
I was a kid in the cancer ward.
There was a few days old baby that came in with cancer.
My mom being the kind person she is told the parents to go and get a coffee and just sit for awhile.
They leave the baby with us.
The baby started to whimper so my mom picked her up and did the walking thing to calm her down.
Then Mom paused and ran to the babies room and rang the bell three times.
The code cart came in with a lot of nurses.
The room was to small to close the door while they tried their best to bring the little girl back.
I remember the dread and then being scared at what I was watching. Understanding what was going on but my own child brain not fully understanding it.
It stuck with me for life and from that young age I knew I didnt what that. That being kids due to the fear that it could happen to my kids.
Walking into my best friends living room late at night from partying just to see her dogs head stuck in between its cage. It was scared of lightning and thunder, and we just gotten a pretty nasty storm. It got so scared it was shaking and hyperventilating in its cage, got its head stuck in between the bars, then killed itself by breaking its neck from the shaking. Its mouth was wide open and eyes were full of fear. She was such a beautiful dog
My sister a few days after giving birth in ICU after all her organs failed from a highly preventable infection she contracted in delivery. I kissed her and she was cold.

I was taking a patient home from the hospital. We opened the door to her room and her place was an absolute wreck and there was a dead man on her bed.
Dead body. Car accident victim that skidded for a bit and tore all the skin of his face and arms. Pretty fucking traumatizing, and I was about 8yo.
A car on fire on the side of the road and someone was in it. I cried instantly.

His went into heart failure from the electrical side effects and passed away.
I can’t go in ANY Staples without smelling it
