As the title says. Sometimes posts like this lead to a bunch of “paranormal” discussion—that’s ok but not a necessity. I’m relatively skeptical of that stuff myself, but they always make for good conversation and friendly debunking. This also includes very unlikely things. I’ll start:

When I was growing up (in the days before the communication revolution) my family took a trip to Chicago. During our five days there we somehow hailed the same cab driver three times, in three extremely different locations in the city. The second time all of us were shocked, and the third time we actually had him take a picture with us. I’m sure my folks have the old disposable Kodak photo buried somewhere in an album. Could he have been stalking us? I guess so. But he certainly didn’t seem like he was, and nothing bad happened. He seemed as surprised as we were. Definitely stochastic—but it’s funny how weird stochasticity can seem when it’s a little less random.

    Super weird, thanks for sharing. One of the houses I grew up in had some weird stuff happen and bad vibes. As someone who is relatively skeptical as an adult I still can’t make heads or tails of it. Years later I found out the previous owner killed himself in the garage. Strange stuff.

      I am skeptical also and not really a believer in supernatural stuff, but I do think are things in this universe maybe we humans really can’t control or understand, or even are meant to come up against. What a weird feeling to know someone killed themselves in your garage, though - that would be creepy!!
