Or more broadly, creepy/unexplainable stories? Anything that’s happened that makes your skin crawl when you think about it.

    Sure. You know how you have a ‘presence’ sense?

    Well, one day night, I woke up and had the awareness that there was someone (or something) right next to me. I felt it very strongly, and because I was alone it freaked me out. I tried to push it away and I told it to fuck off but my hands didn’t touch anything. I rushed to turn on the light and then the feeling vanished. Only had that once in my life.

    Second time, I was parked up at a remote beach making out with my gf in the back seat with two friends smoking weed in the front. The car did a lurch and I stopped and asked what was going on. Just as my mate was answering, the car lurched again. I looked outside to see if there was some prankster around, but there was no one. That’s when I started telling him we gotta get the fuck outta here now!

    I don’t really think either of these count as proof of anything, but they are the only 2 unexplained events in my life.

      You can’t trust anything right after waking up. For example once I dreamed I was being attached by a giant python. Woke up and then realized the snake is still there! After moving around in panic it turns out I fell asleep on my arm (which has been fully numb).

      Anyway, the first few seconds after waking up you’re still half dreaming. It has probably happened a dozen times that I had a genius idea in my dream, woke up, still really hyped for 3-4 seconds till reality kicked in why that idea wouldn’t work at all in the real world.

        Sometimes I do the whole excited idea thing only to realize I was excited for an idea I have absolutely no recollection of. They might’ve worked, I could’ve been the next Nobel prize winner but dream world robbed me.

          Trust me, those ideas never work if you do remember them.

          It’s things like: If I do X I can actually get superpowers, holy shit! This is awesome, there is so much I can do, I just need to do X… wait, X is impossible.

          The mean thing is steps 2, 3 and 4 are all easy, till you realize step 1 doesn’t work in the real world :)
