15 True Stories That Could Be Turned Into Hollywood Scripts

  • My brother and I are twins. When I was very little, my father took me to get a haircut and left my brother at home with my mother.

    Apparently, sometime after we left the house, I kept pulling my dad’s hand and said, “Bob hurt” over and over. My father thought it was weird, so he called home. Nobody answered, so he got a little suspicious and took me right home.

    Coming home to an empty house (in the days before cell phones), we just waited. Later, my mother came home with my brother, and we found out that he had fallen and had to get stitches.

  • When I was younger and visiting a theme park, I ran into a guy who looked just like me. He warned me that I would lose my money that day and told me to watch my pockets.

    Later that day, I noticed my money had fallen out of my pocket, but luckily it was on the ground nearby. I wouldn’t have noticed if that guy’s comment hadn’t stuck in my mind.

  • When I was 9 years old, my older sister and I were drawing while nobody else was home, and suddenly we heard our piano keyboard playing upstairs. We listened and recognized the song—it was Fur Elise.
    My sister and I slowly went up the stairs.

    When we were halfway up, the music stopped for about 2 seconds, then started again. Just as we were about to enter the room, it stopped completely.
    There was nobody there. We looked around, and my sister noticed that the keyboard wasn’t even on—it had a physical switch.

  • My boyfriend told me that when he was a kid, he used to hear whispers and have conversations in one of the rooms at night.

    Intrigued, he entered the room out of curiosity, and someone tapped him on the back so hard that he fell unconscious. When he woke up,

    there was a big mark on his back, resembling a scratch from large paws, and it’s still there today. It’s really creepy.

  • I remember one thing that genuinely freaked me out when I was 12.

    I had awoken and gone to the kitchen to fix myself some breakfast. When I got there, I heard my dad’s snoring coming from the couch in the living room. I thought it was strange for him to be sleeping since it was 10 AM, and he typically woke up early.

    But I figured he was taking a nap. As I walked toward there, the snoring got louder and louder to the point where it sounded exaggerated. Just as I popped my head over the couch to say hi, the sound just stopped. Nobody was on the couch.

    I called out to my family and nobody answered. They had gone out to get lunch. I still can’t explain it to this day.

  • I had a dream once and within the next month, everything from that dream happened in real life. For example, in the dream, my wife re-arranged our room which is weird because she hates rearranging stuff and then the next week she arranged it exactly like a dream.

    In the dream, I also got promoted, and then less than a week later I did in real life.

  • I woke up one night around 1am, heard the shower was on… I first thought it was my brother, he works night shifts, so thought he had come home late and was in the shower… It went on for about half an hour until I got up and went to see what he was doing…

    No one was in the shower, my brother wasn’t home yet, I was the only one in the house. Still to this day, I have no idea how it turned on or who did it.

  • A few years back, I woke up in the middle of the night several times, and it felt like something was walking on my bed at the foot of the bed. My wife was sleeping next to me, so it wasn’t her. The odd thing is I mentioned it to my wife a few weeks after it happened, and she turned white as a ghost and said she had experienced the exact same thing a few times but didn’t want to mention it to me because she thought I would think she was crazy.

    We still can’t explain it. It hasn’t happened in a really long time, but it was an unnerving experience.
