Reality Can Be Stranger Than Fiction

Real life holds mysteries that rival the most chilling tales of fiction. This collection brings together real-life stories that are sure to surprise—and possibly unsettle—you.

What may seem like ordinary occurrences at first quickly unravel into something far more eerie. From inexplicable encounters to disturbing twists of fate, these stories challenge what we think we know about the world.

Story 1: The Mournful Call

For a while, I kept receiving strange wrong-number calls, but one, in particular, still haunts me. It was around 11 p.m. when my phone rang. Half-asleep, I answered, confused by the loud background noise.

As I fully woke up, I realized it sounded like a sorrowful barbershop quartet—no words, just a long, eerie “oooooooh” rising and falling in a minor key. It was unsettling, and I hung up immediately.

Even now, I can still remember the tune. When I later checked my phone, the number was restricted.

Story 2: The Missing Two Hours

One day, I inexplicably lost two hours of my life.

I was getting ready for college, and my dad was with me since he was going to drop me off. As we watched the news, the screen suddenly froze. We turned the TV off and back on—only to discover that two full hours had passed.

Either we both somehow fell asleep without realizing it, or something truly strange happened. Personally, I think we slipped into another dimension.

Story 3: My Stepson’s Past Life

My 5-year-old stepson often talks about his “other life,” where he had a different name and lived somewhere else.

He randomly shares details that we’ve never discussed—things about places and people we’ve never mentioned around him. He once told me he lived in California, in a city that started with a "T" and ended with an "A." I looked it up, and there were only two cities that fit.

He frequently talks about how much he misses driving his red sports car on the beach. The weirdest part? We live on the East Coast and have never taken him to California or even a beach.

Once, he described coming home to find his kitten had escaped. He told me her name, what she looked like, and how sad he still feels about it.

I can’t explain it, but it’s unsettling.

Story 4: The Words Wouldn’t Come

One evening, I was in my room, sitting at my computer. I opened Google and began to type, but the words wouldn’t come out right.

I had the sentence perfectly formed in my mind, yet no matter how many times I tried, all I could type was gibberish. It wasn’t even close to real words.

After three failed attempts, I gave up and took a short walk. When I returned, everything was back to normal. I still have no idea why it happened.

Story 5: The Missing Moment

Last year, I was sitting in my room with the light on. As it got late, I stood up to turn it off.

I took two steps forward—then suddenly, I was back on my bed. The light was off.

I never reached the switch.

Story 6: The Missing Memories

When I was 22, I was getting ready for a 6:30 a.m. baking class in culinary school. I clearly thought, I need to grab my chef’s coat from the closet. The next second, it was neatly laid out on my bed. I had no memory of taking it out.

Years later, when I was 25, I was waiting tables. I held an empty glass under the iced tea dispenser, ready to fill it. The next second, the glass was full—already cold with condensation. My coworker looked at me strangely and asked if I was okay.

I’ve never had any history of seizures, but those two instances of lost time still haunt me.

Story 7: The Unseen Presence

My bedroom was in the basement of an old house. The stairs creaked, so I always heard when someone came down.

One night, I was lying on my bed with my back to the door when I felt the mattress dip—like someone had just sat down beside me. Every hair on my body stood up. I was too scared to speak, but I slowly turned to see who was there.

No one.

But the dip in the mattress remained. Then, I felt it lift, as if someone had just stood up.

I bolted up the stairs, feeling like something was right behind me the entire way.

To this day, I wonder—was the house haunted, or was it just our family experiencing something terrifying?

Story 8: The Growl in the Night

When I lived with my parents, I was often up late—usually until 5 or 6 a.m., browsing the internet.

One night, out of nowhere, the back door (which had been locked) suddenly flung open. A deep, guttural growl filled the air.

My cats immediately ran toward the door, staring into the darkness.

That house always had strange activity, and I’m convinced it was haunted.

Story 9: The Chilling Text

At 3 a.m., I woke up to 12 missed calls from my mom and a text that said, I got robbed! Come fast!

Panicked, I rushed to her house. But when I got there, she looked confused.

“I never sent you a text,” she said.

I showed her my phone. Her face went pale. Without a word, she went inside and returned with her own phone.

She showed me a draft—a text identical to the one I had received, except she had never pressed send. She had changed her mind at the last second.

A chill ran down my spine. If she hadn’t sent the message… then who had? And what about the 12 missed calls?

I stayed at her house for about an hour before heading home. But when I arrived, my front door was open.

Inside, my house had been ransacked. Someone had broken in.

To this day, I still get chills thinking about it. Was it just a bizarre coincidence? Or had someone hijacked my mom’s phone to lure me away?

Shaken, I sold the house and moved a few weeks later.

Story 10: The Woman in White

Growing up, I lived in a house where, every few weeks, I would see a woman in white walk down the hallway.

I always dismissed it as my imagination. I never told anyone.

Years later, after my brother and I had moved out, he asked me a question that made my blood run cold:

“Did you ever see the woman in white?”
