#6 The Grave With A Window
There is a curious grave at Evergreen Cemetery in the West River neighborhood of New Haven, Vermont, the United States. It’s a small grassy mound with a large slab of concrete placed at the top. This concrete block has a small fourteen inch square glass window facing towards the sky. The glass window is hazy and has beads of water hanging on the underside from condensation, and you can’t see much inside. But back in 1893, you could have peered inside and straight into the decomposing face of Timothy Clark Smith.

#23 I Found This Red Target In My Basement
The people who lived in my house before were really strange. They were talking about a ghost in the basement who’d come out if we were to close up the old well in the basement. It’s probably something they put on the wall.

#29 Someone Left A House In The Road At 4am
I was coming back from a fishing trip at 4am and nearly drove through a house. There wasn’t another person anywhere nearby. Someone tried to tow it with a pickup truck and one of those 4 sided universal hitches. Blowing 3 tires wasn’t what stopped them, it was when their hitch sheared off and was left at the front. The road was scarred up for close to 3 miles. The best part was, the house was fully furnished. Initially, the house looked like it had been ripped out of the ground and just dropped there. Being as tired as I was, it was a major WTF moment for me. The first few seconds of trying to process it was really weird. This is on a mountain road in rural Utah if anyone is curious.

#30 Turned On The TV To Watch The Inauguration And Saw This
No clue what happened. Everyone on screen literally looked zombified or like they’d been through a war or something. It genuinely creeped me out. Turned the TV off and back on and it went back to normal. Feels ominous.

#52 Show Baby Love
I was working in a remote part of Australia’s Northern Territory a few years ago when I stumbled across…this. I was 50km from the nearest town and a long way from the nearest road. There was no phone signal, I hadn’t seen any signs of people in hours save the dirt track I was driving on and an arrow stuck in a nearby tree. I left half my Vegemite sandwich…I hope that was enough to Show Baby Love.

#58 Toilet Statue With An Ominous Poem And A Baby? In The Bowl?
Found in a thrift shop in Pine, AZ. Apparently made in Japan in the 50s, seems to have been a part of a wider trend of art and statues following this concept.
It’s weird and ugly and inexplicable and I’m obsessed.

#66 Coworker Got A Ransom Note For Her Kidnapped Toy
So, my coworker has brought in this little snowman toy, which is motion activated and sings Christmas songs when you activate it. She made a game out of hiding it around our workplace, to annoy everyone.
Someone snatched it and she’s been a little annoyed that her little game is over. Today, I came into work and found this envelope with her name on it, and the picture sitting beside it.
I think it’s freaking hilarious, and I hope whoever stole it keeps up the joke.

#93 Someone Locked My iPhone Overnight. I Sleep Alone
This morning my iPhone showed the locked out after 10 attempts screen. I sleep alone, no pets inside the bedroom, and would like to think I’d hear if my roommate entered my room.
First thought was someone was trying to hack into my phone, but my other 3 devices running on the same Apple account were as usual today.
I wonder what the heck happened last night.
Unfortunately these are old devices and I’m not able to use the Passcode feature, so I’ll wait.

#95 Someone Put Chicken In My Engine. What Does It Mean?
I was working on my car and the doors were unlocked but hood was closed. I went back in my office to get oil and when I popped the hood this was under. I feel like it’s either targeted (probably not) or a crack head doing weird stuff. I live in the city so you never know.

#96 Looks Like Someone Was Locked In The Basement Of The House We Just Bought
Just noticed that one room in the basement of the house we just bought has a steel door with the knob oriented so someone could get locked in the room. Then looked closer and noticed all these scratch marks around the knob on the inside of the door, and some dents too. There is a window in the room but it’s small and high up so it would be hard for some people to get it open and get out of it.

#99 My Chipped Mug Repaired Itself (I Live Alone)
Last year I bought these clay hand made mugs with my girlfriend in San Diego. I’m originally from there, but was only visiting, as I now live in the U.K. Mine is the brown one and hers is the blue one.
About 4 months ago I noticed that my mug had a decent sized chip in the handle, roughly about 10mm wide. It was quite noticeable, as you could see the exposed non-glazed clay, which was a lighter color and rough to the touch. I thought this was strange as I’ve never once knowing dropped it or dinked it. I’ve always hand washed it with care. But annoying as it was, things happen…things can get damaged.
A couple weeks goes by, and one morning I come downstairs to make a cup of tea. I go to grip the handle of my mug and notice it doesn’t feel rough anymore. I go to turn it around and notice the chip is completely gone. As if it had never even been broken in the first place. Nobody could have repaired it as I still currently live on my own. Plus, there are no hairline cracks in the handle to suggest that maybe the chipped piece had been glued back on (I never had the chipped piece to begin with when I first noticed the damage).
Lastly, the mug couldn’t have been swapped with a double, as these mugs came from 5,000 away and were all 1 of 1 unique to each other. Do clay mugs self heal? Am I missing something? Or do I need to get the hell out of my house?
