Story 1

The night before my best friend, 16, vanished, she handed me $5 and said, “I owe you money. Take this bill!” It felt random, but I put it in my jar without looking twice. 3 weeks later, I suddenly remembered and opened the jar. When I examined the bill, my blood ran cold.

She had marked it with a tiny handwritten message. I looked closely to read it and I froze: there was a message in blue ink that said: “No matter what happens, you will stay in my heart.”

Chills ran down my spine. It could’ve been a simple note between friends, but the timing felt eerie. I rushed to the police station to show them, but it didn’t go anywhere. It’s been 10 years, and though my friend was never found, not a single day goes by without me thinking about that bill, wondering if it held a deeper meaning.

Story 2
When I was a kid (about 13), we lived in a two-story house. I don’t remember what I was doing, but I heard my dad calling me from the room upstairs. I called back and received no answer. As I walked to the stairway, I happened to look out into our driveway and saw that the truck was gone and my dad wasn’t home.
I still don’t know what called for me that day, but it wasn’t my father.

Story 4
A few years ago, when I was in my early teens, I had a dream of a man on a beach flying a kite with two dogs running around him. A month later, while on holiday in France, we were on a beach, and I looked up to see the same man flying the same kite with the same dogs. Everything went cold, even though it was 30 degrees. It was one of the weirdest experiences ever.

Our apartment has high ceilings, so we got an eight-foot, bright neon yellow pole to change lightbulbs. Last week, the pole disappeared.

Story 6
I stayed in a hotel alone during a business trip. I hung a towel on my right hand as I proceeded to wash my face at the sink. When I finished, my left hand reached out to grab the towel, only to touch the skin. I wheeled around and saw that the towel was hung behind the door instead.

Story 7
I was visiting my grandfather’s grave for the first time, and as I approached it, a golden retriever appeared out of nowhere. He sat with me as I sat next to the grave, his head resting on my knee. As I was leaving, I turned around, and the dog had disappeared.
Rationally speaking, I know that it was just a dog, not connected to my grandfather at all, but part of me still likes to think that he came to say goodbye to me that day.

Story 8
A couple of years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to go downstairs to get a drink. I found my eight-year-old brother staring down the sink drain, and when I asked him what he was doing, he just said, “They’re coming.” He was sleepwalking, so I took him back up to bed.

I had what I thought was a lucid dream where I basically watched some figure in my dark room look through my bookshelf, pat me on the head, and leave. I woke up to the news from my flatmates that someone had entered our house through the unlocked back door during the night… That’s the day I decided to invest in a lock for my bedroom. © Unknown author / Reddit

Story 10
My phone is a Droid, and to unlock it from sleep mode, you must push the power button and slide the lock across the screen. I put my phone in sleep mode, placed it on my bed, and went to brush my teeth. While brushing, I decided to determine my top five drummers of all time for some reason. I was trying to decide which position to rank John Bonham. My thought process was, “Well, the drum part in ’Good Times Bad Times’ is awesome.”
After brushing, I went back to my room, and my phone was blaring “Good Times Bad Times” on Pandora. I can’t explain it. © Notmychairnotmyprobz / Reddit

Story 11
Once, I went to phone my grandparents but couldn’t remember whether the last digit in the number was 7 or 8. I figured, what the heck, and guessed. Anyway, I picked the wrong one, and some guy who wasn’t my grandpa picked up. I apologized and said I had the wrong number. He said, “Is that (my name)?” A bit creeped out, I replied, “…yes? Who is this?” He just laughed and said, “You don’t recognize my voice, do you?” I froze for about a minute before saying goodbye and hanging up. To this day, I have no idea who he was or how he knew me.

Story 13
Once, when I was home alone, I woke up in the middle of the night with a bloody nose. I walked over to the tissues and garbage and ended up filling the entire bin with bloody tissues before returning to bed. In the morning, I woke up to find the bin empty. I figured it must have just been a dream and that I hadn’t had a nosebleed. The catch? As I walked into the bathroom and began to wash my face…

Story 14
I was changing in my room when I was 16 and saw a flash in my window. Thought nothing of it until I realized it wasn’t raining. A week or so later, I woke up to the unmistakable sound of breathing at my window. When I called out, I could hear them running and jumping over my gate. Thought maybe I was just crazy until my mom confirmed she had also heard weird noises from the backyard. We moved a month later. To this day, I am not sure who it was.

Story

When Marcus first sees his newborn baby, his world shatters. Convinced his wife Elena has betrayed him, he’s ready to walk away. But before he can, she reveals a secret that leaves him questioning everything. Is love enough to hold them together? I was ecstatic the day my wife announced that we were going to be parents. We’d been trying for a while and couldn’t wait to welcome our first child into the world. But one day, as we were discussing the birth plan, Elena dropped a bombshell. “I don’t want you in the delivery room,” she said, her voice soft but firm. I felt like I’d been punched in the gut. “What? Why not?” Elena wouldn’t meet my eyes. “I just… I need to do this part on my own. Please understand.” I didn’t understand, not really. But I loved Elena more than anything, and I trusted her. If this was what she needed, I’d respect it. Still, a tiny seed of unease planted itself in my gut that day. As Elena’s due date approached, that seed grew. The night before she was scheduled to be induced, I tossed and turned, unable to shake the feeling that something big was about to change. The next morning, we headed to the hospital. I kissed Elena at the entrance to the maternity ward, watching as they wheeled her away. Hours ticked by. I paced the waiting room, drank too much bad coffee, and checked my phone every two minutes. Finally, a doctor emerged. One look at his face, and my heart plummeted. Something was wrong. “Mr. Johnson?” he said, his voice grave. “You’d better come with me.” I followed the doctor down the hallway as a thousand horrible scenarios raced through my mind. Was Elena okay? The baby? We reached the delivery room, and the doctor pushed open the door. I rushed in, desperate to see Elena. She was there, looking exhausted but alive. Relief washed over me for a split second before I noticed the bundle in her arms. The baby, our baby, had skin as pale as fresh snow, wisps of blonde hair, and when it opened its eyes, they were startlingly blue. “What the hell is this?” I heard myself say, my voice sounding strange and far away. Elena looked up at me, her eyes filled with a mix of love and fear. “Marcus, I can explain—” But I wasn’t listening. A red haze of anger and betrayal descended over me. “Explain what? That you cheated on me? That this isn’t my kid?” “No! Marcus, please—” I cut her off, my voice rising. “Don’t lie to me, Elena! I’m not an idiot. That is not our baby!” Nurses bustled around us, trying to calm the situation, but I was beyond reason. I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest. How could she do this to me? To us? “Marcus!” Elena’s sharp voice cut through my rage. “Look at the baby. Really look.” Something in her tone made me pause. I glanced down as Elena gently turned the baby, pointing to its right ankle. There, clear as day, was a small crescent-shaped birthmark. Identical to the one I’d had since birth, and that other members of my family had, too. The fight drained out of me in an instant, replaced by utter confusion. “I don’t understand,” I whispered. Elena took a deep breath. “There’s something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you years ago.” As the baby quieted, Elena began to explain. During our engagement, she’d undergone some genetic testing. The results showed she carried a rare recessive gene that could cause a child to have pale skin and light features, regardless of the parents’ appearance. “I didn’t tell you because the odds were so slim,” she said, her voice trembling. “And I didn’t think it would matter. We loved each other, and that was all that counted.” I sank into a chair, my head spinning. “But how…?” “You must carry the gene too,” Elena explained. “Both parents can carry it without knowing, and then…” She gestured to our baby. Our little girl was now sleeping peacefully, oblivious to the turmoil around her. I stared at the child. The birthmark was undeniable proof, but my brain was having trouble catching up. “I’m so sorry I didn’t tell you,” Elena said, tears streaming down her face. “I was scared, and then as time passed, it seemed less and less important. I never imagined this would actually happen.” I wanted to be angry. Part of me still was. But as I looked at Elena, exhausted and vulnerable, and at our tiny, perfect baby, I felt something else growing stronger. Love. Fierce, protective love. I stood up and moved to the bed, wrapping my arms around both of them. “We’ll figure this out,” I murmured into Elena’s hair. “Together.” Little did I know, our challenges were just beginning. Bringing our baby home should have been a joyous occasion. Instead, it felt like walking into a war zone. My family had been chomping at the bit to meet the newest addition. But when they laid eyes on our pale-skinned, blonde-haired bundle of joy, all hell broke loose. “What kind of joke is this?” my mother, Denise, demanded, her eyes narrowing as she looked from the baby to Elena. I stepped in front of my wife, shielding her from the accusatory glares. “It’s not a joke, Mom. This is your grandchild.” My sister Tanya scoffed. “Come on, Marcus. You can’t seriously expect us to believe that.” “It’s true,” I insisted, trying to keep my voice calm. “Elena and I both carry a rare gene. The doctor explained everything.” But they weren’t listening. My brother Jamal pulled me aside, speaking in a low voice. “Bro, I know you love her, but you gotta face facts. That ain’t your kid.” I shook him off, anger rising in my chest. “It is my kid, Jamal. Look at the birthmark on the ankle. It’s just like mine.” But no matter how many times I explained, showed them the birthmark, or pleaded for understanding, my family remained skeptical. Every visit turned into an interrogation, with Elena bearing the brunt of their suspicion. One night, about a week after we’d brought the baby home, I woke to the sound of the nursery door creaking open. Instantly alert, I crept down the hallway, only to find my mother leaning over the crib. “What are you doing?” I hissed, startling her. Mom jumped back, looking guilty. In her hand was a damp washcloth. With a sickening jolt, I realized she’d been trying to rub off the birthmark, convinced it was fake. “That’s enough,” I said, my voice shaking with rage. “Get out. Now.” “Marcus, I was just—” “Out!” I repeated, louder this time. As I ushered her towards the front door, Elena appeared in the hallway, looking worried. “What’s going on?” I explained what had happened, watching as hurt and anger flashed across Elena’s face. She’d been so patient, so understanding in the face of my family’s doubts. But this was a step too far. “I think it’s time your family left,” Elena said quietly. I nodded, turning to face my mother. “Mom, I love you, but this has to stop. Either you accept our child or you don’t get to be part of our lives. It’s that simple.” Denise’s face hardened. “You’re choosing her over your own family?” “No,” I said firmly. “I’m choosing Elena and our baby over your prejudice and suspicion.” As I closed the door behind her, I felt a mixture of relief and sadness. I loved my family, but I couldn’t let their doubts poison our happiness any longer. Elena and I relaxed on the couch, both emotionally drained. “I’m so sorry,” I whispered, pulling her close. “I should have stood up to them sooner.” She leaned into me, sighing. “It’s not your fault. I understand why they’re having trouble accepting it. I just wish…” “I know,” I said, kissing the top of her head. “Me too.” The next few weeks were a blur of sleepless nights, diaper changes, and tense phone calls from family members. One afternoon, as I was rocking the baby to sleep, Elena approached me with a determined look in her eye. “I think we should get a DNA test,” she said quietly. I felt a pang in my chest. “Elena, we don’t need to prove anything to anyone. I know this is our child.” She sat down next to me, taking my free hand in hers. “I know you believe that, Marcus. And I love you for it. But your family won’t let this go. Maybe if we have proof, they’ll finally accept us.” She was right. The constant doubt was eating away at all of us. “Okay,” I said finally. “Let’s do it.” Finally, the day arrived. We sat in the doctor’s office, Elena clutching the baby to her chest, me holding her hand so tightly I was afraid I might be hurting her. The doctor entered with a folder in his hand, his face unreadable. “Mr. and Mrs. Johnson,” he began, “I have your results here.” I held my breath, suddenly terrified. What if, by some cosmic joke, the test came back negative? How would I handle that? The doctor opened the folder and smiled. “The DNA test confirms that you, Mr. Johnson, are indeed the father of this child.” Relief washed over me like a tidal wave. I turned to Elena, who was crying silently, a mix of joy and vindication on her face. I pulled them both into a hug, feeling like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Armed with the test results, I called a family meeting. My mother, siblings, and a few aunts and uncles gathered in our living room, eyeing the baby with a mixture of curiosity and lingering doubt. I stood in front of them, test results in hand. “I know you’ve all had your doubts,” I began, my voice steady. “But it’s time to put them to rest. We’ve had a DNA test done.” I passed the results around, watching as they read the undeniable truth. Some looked shocked, others embarrassed. My mother’s hands shook as she held the paper. “I… I don’t understand,” she said weakly. ” All that recessive gene stuff was true?” “Of course it was,” I replied. One by one, my family members offered their apologies. Some were heartfelt, others awkward, but all seemed genuine. My mother was the last to speak. “I’m so sorry,” she said, tears in her eyes. “Can you ever forgive me?” Elena, always more gracious than I could ever be, stood up and hugged her. “Of course we can,” she said softly. “We’re family.” As I watched them embrace, with our baby cooing softly between them, I felt a sense of peace settle over me. Our little family might not look like what everyone expected, but it was ours. And in the end, that was all that mattered.
