1. I went camping with my dad when I was 11 years old back in 2007. We were sitting around the campfire at night when out of nowhere we hear this loud sound. My dad and I couldn't tell what it was. At first we thought it was a jet but it was a clear night and we didn't see any strobe lights at all in the sky. It wasn't a car or any large vehicle on the nearby highway because automobiles don't sound like that. We couldn't tell if it was coming from the sky or the nearby mountains at this point. It was really loud and kept going on consistently for a long time too and we just sat there and listened.

The sound went away and it was time to go to sleep so instead of sleeping in the tent, my dad and I slept in my dad's camper in his truck because I was too scared. Then late at night, I had no idea what time it was, but that sound came back and it woke me up. I stayed awake with my eyes wide open until the Sun came up. The sound never came back after that night and we've gone back to that campsite multiple times over the years and never heard it again.

You know the funny thing is that around 2011-2012 people all over the world were hearing loud horn sounds coming from the sky and those sounds are almost exactly what I heard at that campsite as a kid. I still get chills talking about it.

2. This past July I visited Lake Tahoe with friends for the first time. The place we stayed at had 3 floors and some of us slept on the top floor which was almost like an attic in a way. There was a big window that you could see out of into the pitch black darkness of the forest on that floor. The first night there when we went to sleep I remember waking up super-late at night and felt something or someone pressing down on me as I was laying down. I couldn't move my body except move my eyes around. I remember that moment being very brief but it was super strange as I've never felt anything like that before.

Sounds like sleep paralysis

Yeah it was weird. I even asked my buddies in the morning if they were fucking around and none of them said they did anything. They were sound asleep.

I don't know if I'd say creepy. But it stayed on my mind for a long time afterwards. Down in the city of Victoria a couple years ago, I was passing through one of the streets that was sort of homeless/street performer territory the seaside. I caught this rubby kind of guy watching me from a bench. Made eye contact. I passed by and he said that he knew me. I asked him how or from where.

He asked how old I was and I said I was in my twenties. He just kind of laughed, said I was much older than that. I sat down on the bench with him and talked about a lot of stuff. Guy was a drifter with a mini-van parked alongside the shoreline where they still allowed homeless or travelling folk to park at night. Lot of different stories on him.

I guess what always really struck me was the eye contact. Looked at me like he was looking through me. I notice in many cities, people don't make eye contact. And if you see a homeless bum or a begger, eye contact's the worst thing you can do.
