As my usual routine on Friday mornings, I prepared for my 6:a.m gym class. Afterwards, I had my door keys in my hand to secure my dwellings . Before opening the door, I put my car key in my gym bag as always . I left the dwellings to walkoutside to my car to grab my gym shoes from the car. Got the shoes, put the key right back in the gym bag i was carrying..walk short distance to the gym.after workouts.didn't look in my bag for the car key, but grabbed a banana from my bag ,knowing that my key was inside the bag. Walked home from the gym. Looked in my bag gore my car key----------Car key gone missing. So i walked back to the gymto see if i had accidentally misplaced it or something.Gone-no key.Did someone get my car key from my gym bag while i was exercising? Does that means it is time to rethink my present situation?before this incident; one of my blouses has gotten a razor slit on the arm. Didnt. have the slit before wearing the blouses when i wore it because i had made a self pic of me. My house is secure with a alarm system.This is so paraxdoxal .

The first time an object disappeared was about five years ago. I was in my bedroom and a ring, which was a little big,fell off my finger. I heard it bounce on the floor. But, when i looked, it was not there. I and a friend removed everything, had a 500 watt painters light and looked everywhere. I then vacuumed the hardwood floors thinking it may have fallen in a groove. Nothing in the bag. Nothing. I then went each and every floor board with a magnifying glass. Nothing.



Then two years later, the same thing happened with another ring. Same exact scenario. I repeated my efforts and nothing. This time, I saw where the ring had fallen, but could not retrieve it.



Two weeks ago, A THIRD RING fell off my night table. This was becoming very weird.



And it just got worse. Last week, I came home, put the key in the door and put my key case on the kitchen counter. When I went to go out, they were gone. I have been putting my keys in the same sport for 15 years. GONE.



Now, this morning I was in another room on another floor and I took some artificial lemons and artificial strawberries out of a bag. I put them down to answer a phone call. I turned my back for a about a minute. NO WHERE TO BE SEEN.



These occurrences are becoming more frequent and I now am beginning to wonder if someone is trying to contact me or warn me. I know something is up.



Am I the only one who has these multiple disappearances?

I was sat at desk about to start writing some basic medical terminology down and I put the pen lid on top of the pen. I accidentally knocked it off and I was fast enough to watch it fall I watched it go under a bag. I lifted the bag up and it wasn't there i searched around in case it had rebounded after landing and I looked in the bag but i couldn't find it anywhere. I looked all over but nothing.

I parked my car whilst visiting a clents home, when I came out I couldn't see my car where I had left it, I naturally thought it had been stolen. I went back to my client and told her 'You wont believe this but somebady has stolen my car' we both looked at the spot it was parked in, I glanced across the road and behold it was parked alongside another vehicle on the sidewalk. When I went to investigate the car was securely locked with the parking brake on and left with the gears engaged, just as I'd left it on the other side of the road. I know it could not have moved by itself, had I accidently left the brake off and not in gear I could understand it rolling forward as I was on an incline, but it could not have turned and neatly parked itself next to another car and how do I explain the vehicle being locked, the handbrake on and the gears engaged. This is something I will never forget

Years ago, things would appear or disappear in my house. I thought this had ended long ago. But over the past few days, it's happening again. Suddenly, I'm missing two plates, then a butter knife and today, a mug. I live alone and nobody else has been here. I've looked everywhere and they just not to be found. I don't understand. I'm not suffering from dementia or any other kind of malady. What the heck is happening?

About 6 months months ago I bought a fire proof safe for the house in order to keep documents safe in the event of a house fire. However a short time after I purchased it I noticed that the keys to the safe were missing. Having searched the house I could not find them but fortunately I was still able to use the safe although I could not close it properly as I did not have a key. Last week my friend went to the safe to put something into it and as usual it was still left open as the locking hinge needed the key to close it properly.

About 5/6 days later I went to the safe to get something and noticed it had been locked with the lid securely closed. I asked my friend if she had located the keys and she said no that the last time she used it the lid of the safe was not securely closed as we had no keys. I then searched the house and something told me to check my car keys were I found the safe key and was able to then open the safe. I must have put them onto the key ring months earlier and had then forgotten that I had done so. Having checked the safe I was able to confirm that it was not self locking and that the key was needed to ensure that it opened and closed. I told my sister about this event the next day and she reminded me that the day that this had happended to me was the aniversay of my fathers death There is no reasonable explanation as to how my safe suddenly became locked and closed securely when at that stage the keys were still missing.

I lost a stone in a ring. A few weeks later the whole ring went missing from the bathroom. Moved house and 8 mths. later after I'd been in the kitchen already one morning, late morning I found the ring in the middle of the floor and with the lost stone back in the ring.

Been experiencing this DOPler effect for years. My glasses went missing, then 10 days later turned up in the laundry cupboard. Now they're missing again. It's been 18 days. Not good! This is disrupting my life. Who or what is bugging me? How are us victims supposed to know what to do about it and stop it?!! I've experienced other paranormal stuff too. But the D.O.P. is becoming regular. A spiritual healer said it's a child spirit guide. I don't agree. Guides are helpers, this thing is the opposite. She's just in entity denial. This is a poltergeist and it's followed me from house to house, 3 addresses so far over several years. Had entity removers come to my house, and used ones on-line, but all a waste of money.

My husband and I was at a McDonalds drive thru getting something to eat. We only had a few dollars and were hungry so we ordered two dollar burgers and a drink to share. When we got to the pickup window we were handed a big sack of food which was heavier than two dollar burgers, it felt like two meals, my husband took it handed it to me and we looked at each other like "we're really lucking out this time"! I took the bag and put it on the floor between my legs. The employee handed out another smaller sack and our drink. We drove off into a nearby parking lot to see what all we got, the large sack of food was gone all we had was the smaller bag and our drink, we looked under the seats, the back seat, and on the ground of the parking lot between there and McDonalds. We never found the big bag of food. We still talk about it sometimes and we always recall how we both touched the bag and felt the weight of it, not scary but really really weird!!

The first occasion: I had been looking for a bag .. a little ziplock bag that had my nail trimmers, mascara and eye liner in it had been missing for over a month. My room is all cleaned and i swear to God I looked everywhere for it. So the night I decided that I needed to use my nail trimmers, I went to go get them.. except they were still missing. So I went over to the desk and moved some papers to a corner, and the spot was clear.. absolutely NOTHING was there before. I put my little paper with my school schedule in the blank spot and literally turned around.. and the bag I had been looking for was UNDERNEATH THE PAPER I HAD JUST PUT DOWN THAT HAD NOTHING THERE BEFORE..



2nd occasion, two days after my bag of nail clipper/mascara appeared.. I was looking for my lint roller.. and my dresser was clear.. I went to place a paper down on my rolly organizer bin which is directly beside my dresser.. and out of no where it was like someone threw the lint roller at me. It hit my head on the right side of my face. No one was home but me.



3rd occasion, this occurred the same day of getting hit in the face with the lint roller. I was taking off my fake nails.. and I went to look for my phone. I left it on the coffee table in the living room, and I KNOW for sure I left it there. Then I went to the bathroom, came back, turned the tv on, and looked at the table and my phone was gone. My bf was at work at the time so he would not have taken it because he wasn't there. I was trying to make a phone call to my bf but my phone was missing ?? Anyways.. so I went looking for it... and I am not f'ing kidding you .. i literally stood up, spun in a circle.. and the phone was back on the coffee table where I had left it. There was nothing else on the table beside my printer or bottle of nail polish remover. You explain that one to me.



4th occasion, happened on March 11th 2014. I was looking for my mutes for my trumpet. And again.. I know I left them on my dresser because I knew I needed them for wind ensemble. Well wouldn't you know, mr spirit dude decided to move them on me.. I checked my dresser over and over and over and they were not there... Then I leave the bedroom for a minute come back and they are sitting on the dresser in the EXACT SAME SPOT I HAD LOOKED A MINUTE BEFORE.



5th occasion, March 12th 2014.. I was looking for the TV remotes to check the weather network. I yelled at my bf to come help me find them. We tore part the couches.. the t.v. set.. dug under blankets and pillows on the couches and NOTHING! I went off to do my half hour placement at the daycare and came back. We started watching the movie inside Lewin Davis (its a music movie with a cat ) and then half way through the movie.. the cat we have came up and sat on the couch and then out of no where my bf screams.. OMG OMG OMG... Look at this.. The remotes appeared beside our cat Mia. .. I f'ing swear on my life.. we had cleared both couches and on top behind inside etc.. and then they appear beside the cat .. LIKE WTF>!!!>!>!> IEFEWIURBVEHVBTOUCHBOSUDHB... THE REMOTES SUDDENLY APPEAR ONE ON TOP OF THE OTHER.. AS IF THEY HAD BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME .. I SWEAR.. I WOULD HAVE SEEN THEM HAD THEY NOT HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE..



I think its safe to say, we have some sorta spirit borrowing personal items and it is driving me nuts!

I have had many weird and unexplained things happen through the past few years but this week's was especially odd. It has to do with a green comb we keep in the bathroom (my 2 teenage daughters and myself). On 3 different days this week it has randomly appeared in strange places. Early in the week I was throwing something away in the kitchen garbage and there it was, just sitting on top of all the garbage when I picked up the lid. Neither of the girls said they put it there or threw it away when I asked. The second time happened when my older daughter found it in her room, sitting on a white chair. But the latest time, and most bizarre, happened tonite. My daughter went in to brush her teeth and get ready for bed. It was on the floor when she walked in, and she assumed someone must have knocked it off the sink. When she finished brushing her teeth and turned around, the comb was literally standing up on its side. She was pretty freaked out and came and got me to show me. I can't explain it. Although it's a wide toothed comb, it's still only about a quarter inch thick on its side. I tried to debunk it by knocking it off the sink. Not only could I not get it to land on its side edge, I couldn't get it to land in the place where it was found (dead center of the bathroom floor). What does any of this mean? I have no idea but feel like something or someone is trying hard to get our attention. Today also happens to be a strange weather day as we are all home with a blizzard howling outside.

I was on a trip and staying in a hotel 3 years ago. I had a pair of earrings that I always wore and the stone fell out of one earring. I placed both earrings and the loose stone in a small ziplock bag. I then put the bag in my suitcase. The bag simply was not there when I looked for it when I got back home and unpacked.



This past week the ziplock bag with the earrings appeared in the drawer in my kitchen where I keep boxes of plastic wrap, foil and storage bags. The bag with the earrings was on laying on top the the boxes in the drawer.

It was a night I will never ever forget..

I remember every simple detail.



It was about two years ago, When I had a day off from work and decided to rest and have fun by myself at home.

Went to the market and bought some food and beer..

Stayed at home alone and laid down on a mattress on the floor with the laptop.. I had two memory cards with me and I decided to exchange data between pc and the two cards.



I was chilling and was checking music and videos on the laptop and organizing my files.. I had a good mood!

And everything was just fine!



There was one of the cards connected to the pc and the other one was left by the side of the pc and I didn't move anything from places.



Later after an hour I decided to finish that party and turn off the pc.. Took the card which was connected to the pc. And eventually the second card was not there in place!



I started to look calmly for it below and behind the pc with no evidence.. Later on I started to become more nervous about the situation and the fact that it can't be lost that easy! I continued with an intensified search..

I even lift up the mattress and shook it, Searched the whole home and was even searching the whole floor near the mattress. ( It was not there )



I did an hour search with no result.. I became disappointed I couldn't understand where it could have been gone!

And that gave me more energy to repeat looking for it!!



Then I put the mattress again down on the floor and I took a sit with a feeling of failure.



The moment I moved my eye towards the floor I was shocked to find the card materialized and obvious in front of my eyes in the middle of the room where I have been searching all over!!

I really had a strange touching feeling at that time.

It was like there was something watching me.



The moment I saw it there I just took it and ran out of the room impulsively and I stood by the door and kept glazing into the room.

A few seconds later I regained my strength and ran again inside the room to find nothing!!



P.S :- I didn't even believe in supernatural.. I believed there might be another world but I didn't believe that there can be interference or connection between the two worlds physically.



.........................................................



Later after about a month, one day I had a break time from work and I felt a bit tired and decided to go relax a bit at home then in few hours to come back to work.

so I went home and Snoozed for like 40 minutes.

Only to wake up with a sleep paralysis. I couldn't move, Couldn't talk and I wanted to scream but there was no way.

I saw everything so clear and I had that feeling of mass fear at that time. It was after several supernatural phenomenons that occurred in that home.

I still believe there is some kind of spirit in that place.

Which have shown signs to me and to my friend.

And we believed it to be harmless spirit. I remember the days when I was in that home I felt it there most of the time..



Now I changed the home and haven't had anything happening after that.



Thanks for reading, I was reading different posts and I felt to want to share with you people my experience.

This is going to sound so stupid but this is my story. Earlier I was about to roll a joint and I only had enough weed left for about 2 joint's. I keep everything in a video case. It's very handy, I keep my grinder in there and all the stuff I need. So I got the case out and go sit on my bed. I opened the video case and took my grinder out and put it on my bed. Next I took my weed bag and opened it. I only had enough for 2 joint's and it was in a bud. I then split the weed into 2 parts, a bit for later and put the bit I was going to use in the grinder. I put the grinder on the bed. I put the other bit back in the bag. My video case is open on my bed and I knocked the grinder with the bud in it over. It just flipped over. I thought the weed went under the video case. I closed the lid of the video case to think my bud would be under it, but no. It just vanished. No weed there. It just disappeared. I checked my bed and it wasn't on there. Then I thought it must have fallen into the video case so I took everything out and it wasn't in there. I took my bed sheet and slowly lifted it so anything on it would fall to the ground but nothing. I checked everywhere, on and near my bed for this bud but still have not found it. I had to use the other bit to roll the joint. How bizarre hey?

it was Oct. 31 1991 my friend Nori had a invite to a Halloween costume party in Jamul ,Ca. about 25 miles east of Chula Vista that were I was living I wasn't invited but went anyways. Nori drove her car I followed in my truck an took along a friend of mine Kevin Hatfield . Kevin dressed up like a pirate as he did every year for the last 8 years and since I was still on crutches from recent knee surgery I went as a wounded solider we arrived at the party around 9:00pm lucky for me this party only had Valet parking along with two open bars it was caterer and waiter affair .every one had on costumes and were dancing to the DJ I had a great time. around 1:00am we decide it was time to leave as Kevin and I waited for Valet to bring my truck Kevin remembers he took off his pirate shoes while he was dancing the shoes gave him a blister every time he wore them and that was once a year on Halloween for the past eight years and now he forgot then I told him "run back in there and grab them". right then the Valet pulls up with my truck again I told him " go get your shoes I'll drive in circles until you return". he hesitated then decided he would leave them behind that way next year he would be something other then a pirate. I knew what he was talking about cause if you saw the shoes you would know they had to be from 1700s like the pilgrims wore one of a kind hand made he found them in a thrift store eight years early while looking for a Halloween costume now he's leaving them behind and so he did. I decided to take the back roads home south through the foot hills then west Otay Lakes avoiding Johnny Law and any possible check points once we turned on Otay Lakes Road we didn't see a sole by the time we got to Thousand Trails RV Park we both thought it would a good ideal to drive the old fire road up Otay Mt.{scary}so we did ,we were almost to the top we came upon an abandon fire or giant pile of hot coals putting off plenty of heat but there was a ton of broken glass every were an Kevin did want to cut his feet so we decided to leave it was now 3:00am we were about 300yards from the gate were the dirt road meets the asphalt but still on the steep fire road I saw what I thought was a dead animal in the middle of the dirt road so I avoided looking down as we passed it then Kevin said "STOP"! I did, he jumped out of the truck and ran over to the object in the road picks it up walks up to my side of the truck he ask me "are you messing with me" as he raised up the shoes his pirate shoes the ones he left at the party they were them. one of a kind I looked at me and said "You know what this means?"

I was shocked I shook my head I'll never forget what he said next "It means I'm going to be a pirate next year".

I swear this is crazy. I used my morton container of salt just 2 days ago. I am cooking today and it is missing. I haven't taken the trash out since then and it is not in there. I live in a one bedroom apartment by myself. I searched the whole house even though it can't be anywhere but the kitchen. Nobody has been over and I always lock my doors. Nothing else is missing. This is so weird and kind of scary. Who can it be? Now I have to worry about it and watch my surroundings closer. Just felt like sharing this . But a container of salt ? sketchy

So I'm in 10th grade and we had got our class rings we ordered. The first day everyone brought them in to school. It was cool seeing everyone's customized rings. Maybe a week later during gym class we got to class and me and my friend were changing into our gym clothes. I was finished first. I was just about to go out into the gym when my friend said,"wait, what about your class ring?" I acknowledged him and gently tossed the ring into the locker. I saw it go in the locker and I saw my friend close and lock the locker. We both walked out. About 30 minutes of class had passed and we headed in to change and get ready for our next class. When we opened the locker I changed my clothes and took my books and stuff out. I went to grab my ring and it wasn't there. I looked in my pockets, I took everything out, my friend checked his pockets, but we couldn't find it at all. It's been about 2 1/2 months now and I still haven't found it.

I've been experiencing a collection of strange phenomena for several years now that I have playfully dubbed "the abyss". It's mostly benign, if frustrating, and seems to be some sort of teleportation phenomena.

I originally thought maybe I was crazy or just forgetful, as multiple objects would just go missing. For example, I will drop small objects that I am using (pencils, silverware, small books, etc) and they will just vanish. I usually find these objects in a room that I was not present in when I dropped them. I at first assumed this was because I absentmindedly put them in a pocket or behind my ear or something like that and then absentmindedly retrieved these Items as I was searching for them. Now when an object vanishes I simply stay put and search the area within my reach (usually to no avail) although I have found if I do not panic after the initial search and continue with whatever I am doing, the object will reappear after about half an hour, exactly where the object should have landed.

Recently this phenomena has escalated to the point where objects seem to be vanishing literally out of my hands. This is usually pencils and forks. I will be using said item and if I become distracted by someone speaking to me or otherwise take my mind off the object, it will disappear. These Items generally do not reappear.

At times, larger objects will disappear. Usually cameras, phones, jewelery... things I am not using but know where they are safely stowed away. This is the most interesting phenomena because in the place of whatever object has been "stolen" I usually find some sort of randomized item I have never seen before in my life. This is where it gets interesting.... It seems that if I handle the new object, move it, claim it, etc... I will never see the missing object it replaced ever again. however If I leave it as is, it will disappear and the original missing object will disappear. This has happened on multiple occasions. I have been "traded" items such as cameras, wallets, paintings, small boxes, figurines, even a small chest for items such as unexplained food, books, glass dishes, dolls, antique pictures, and a large crystal formation respectively. I do not know where these things come from but they sometimes bear the initials of the persons they belonged to whom I have never met.

The strangest of these happenings though, is what I call magic purse syndrome. I have stopped carrying purses entirely because of this phenomena (which I believe is some manifestation of the abyss) and will not carry the purse of another woman just in case her stuff disappears as well. The best encounter to describe this phenomena was as follows: My sister and I were both wearing one of my purses one day. I had a brown purse with multiple pockets, she was carrying a plain leather bag with no pockets, both of which were mine. I had put my wallet in my brown bag so that I could buy cigarrettes that day. Of course when it came time to get them, My ID had vanished from my wallet. Right next to my wallet however, was my sister's car keys. And my ID? Appeared inside a datebook in my sisters purse. An easy mixup right? But then how could she have driven to her work, 10 miles away, if I'd had her keys since that morning?

I have been enjoying reading the stories about disappearing items and remember one of my own. It was probably 20 years ago and I may have posted this somewhere already but here goes.

Back then I was living in a basement apt. for free in exchange for taking care of the building. There was a room next to my bedroom that a friend used to use when his wife and he had a fight until things calmed down.

One day this friend was in the room next to mine and I could not find my Bible. I looked all over, opened drawers, looked under the bed on the book shelf etc -it was no where to be found. I went to the kitchen and checked there and the bathroom and nothing.

When I walked back into my room the Bible was sitting is the middle of the bed.

I asked my friend and he said he knew nothing about it. I can`t imagine that he would take a Bible-right before I would look for it and then return it to such an obvious place and also deny taking it.

I still do not understand how I could search a room for a book that was sitting all alone in the middle of a made bed.

I still have it...yup, it is sitting my headboard bed now..and it has not disappeared since...yet.

A cross appearing in my sons room.

While my son was in the hospital recovering from surgery and I was home alone and my husband stayed with him in the hospital. I was in the family room and I heard something fall on the floor inside the house and it made a metallic sound when it hit the floor. I looked around the area where I was sitting and saw absolutely nothing. The next night I stayed at the hospital with my son and then he came home with us that day after a 6 night stint. My son went to bed that night and the next morning when I went into his bedroom to check on him I saw a cross laying on the floor by his bed. When I saw it I remembered hearing metal fall on the floor when I was home alone two night's previous and his bedroom is directly above where I was sitting. My husband, my son and I had not put it in his room and no other person had been in his room. I had just waxed and cleaned his room the night before he went into the hospital. The cross has loads of symbols on it. it is silver plated and warn you can see a bit of brass showing and had a small ring on it for hanging on a chain. We would have seen this had it been hanging up some place in the room. I had my husband go into my sons room and drop the cross on the floor by were I found it and I was down stairs in the family room and it made the exact same sound. The room has a 20 foot celling and had it fallen from a higher point it would have bounced around more. I have the object and I am telling the gods honest truth... Its not ours and we don't know where it came from.

I have had quite a few of these strange phenomena happening to me in the past few years. Seems that more and

more phenomena have happened in the past few months:



1. The lid to my garbage can disappeared in my kitchen. I know I did not throw it out. I bought another trash can for the kitchen and the lid from that one disappeared too.

2. A box of eggs (half full) disappeared from my refrigerator.

3. A half of my sandwich disappeared from my dining room table. I left the room for a minute; when I returned the bread from half of my sandwich had disappeared. I do not own any pets and there are no mice in my house.

4.A colored pencil drawing that I created disappeared from on top my bookshelf. It was there the night before and when I got up the next day, it was gone! I never found it.

(These incidents happened in 2012.)I live alone and had no visitors when these incidents occurred

The latest incidents happened just a few days ago. I found just one shoe in my shoe bag in the bedroom closet. I looked all over and finally found the other shoe in an obscure place in another shoe bag way across the walk-in closet..The very next day, I notice that one of my loafer shoes was missing from my bedroom floor. I have looked all over and there is no trace of the other shoe. I wear these shoes often and was unhappy that one of them was mysteriously missing.

Another strage incident happened about five years ago in my podiatrist's office. I went into the restroom in the office and had a magazine with me. The baathroom was so tiny, I had no place to set the magazine down, so I put it on the floor. I left the bathroom and realized I forgot the magazine on the floor. I immediately went back to get it, but it had vanished into thin air! It was a new magazine (a magazine about paraormal things)!

I am a rational person who seeks to explain unusual events by looking for the most likely answer, however, ever for the last four years strange events have happened in my house which have been very difficult to account for, and so many of them have now happened that I feel the need to share some of the more bizarre.

The first major one I noticed was occurred during around three years ago at a time when my older sister had moved into my spare room, she bore witness to the event, so I know I did not imagine it. I had a new girlfriend and wanted to impress her by cooking, and had already planned to make a pasta meal, for which I needed some goats cheese. Checking my cupboards and fridge, I discovered I had everything I needed to cook the meal, some chilli flakes and some red wine. I announced to my sister my intent to go to the nearest shop to get the needed ingredients, "Are you sure the goats cheese in the fride is in date?" she replied. I checked, and as usual, she was right, it was out of date. "Thanks sis," I replied, tossing the old one into the bin. I went to the shop, bought the items, and returned. I still had a few hours to my girlfriend was coming over, so put the cheese in the fridge and the wine and chilli flakes on the counter and sat down with my sister to watch some TV. During that time my neither my sister, nor I ventured into the kitchen. Yet when the time came around for me to make the meal, when I opened the fridge the cheese was not there. The fridge was particularly bare that day, and there was nowhere for it to hide. Even so, I removed every item, to no avail. Reasoning that perhaps I had tossed the cheese into the bin along with the carrier bag from the store, I emptied the bin. The bag was in there alright, but all that was in it was a reciept. The only other items in the bin was the old cheese I had thrown away earlier, and an empty mineral water bottle. After relating the tale to my sister, she helped me search all through the kitchen, but found nothing. We checked the reciept just in case I had forgotten to buy it, but it was clearly listed, and my sister remembers me taking it out of the bag as I walked into the kitchen. We reasoned that wherever I had misplaced it, eventually the smell of it going bad would draw us to its location, but it never appeared.



Several other strange things happened during the few months my sister lived with me, but nothing that we could firmly saying was unexplainable. The next event happened about a year later, a few weeks after my sister had moved out. My girlfriend had moved in and we had gone shopping and bought a bottle of ketchup. I don't really use the stuff, so it was really more for my girlfiend. We still had a little bit left in the old bottle, so put it in the back of a kitchen cupboard. A couple of days later, my girlfriend wants some ketchup to put on her fries, she gets one tiny splatt out of the old bottle, so I head into the kitchen to get the new bottle, but it is not in the cupboard where I put it. We search high and low, for so long our food goes totally cold. We search again the next day, this time looking in every cupboard in the whole house, but nothing can be found remotely resembling a bottle of sauce.



A few weeks later my girlfriend is feeling a little bit ill and calls in sick at her work, so I pull out the sofa-bed downstairs and make it up so that she can watch TV downstairs and be close to the kitchen if she needs anything. I am getting ready to go to work and I put the satelite remote control down next to her on the bed, I lean in to kiss her head, and then as I am standing back up about to leave, she reaches out to pick up the contol, but it is not there. Thinking I must have knocked it down the side of the sofa bed when I leaned in, she gets up out of the bed and we pull it apart, but to know avail. We search the whole room, but nothing. My girlfriend digs out the spare remote (which is a different colour), and I go to work. When I get back that night we search again, but nothing turns up. We give up and carry on using the spare for the next week or so. Then one day as we are watching a football match on the TV, both sat on the sofa that pulls out into a bed, we hear something clatter to the floor across the other side of the room, when I investigate, there is the missing satelite remote. The only thing near it that it could have fallen from was the other sofa in the room. There is no way it could have been on or in that sofa during that time.



Many more bizarre things happen over the next few weeks, culminating in one of the glass shelves in my fridge exploding in the middle of the night making me think a burglar has broken in (the only thing on the whole shelf was some sliced chicken, a nearly empty tub of butter, and a plastic tub with some leftover cooked vegetables in). That week the remote disappeared again and once again we looked everywhere, finally giving up and resorting to the spare again. I walk into the kitchen to get a drink come back into the living room, and low and behold the remote is on the coffee table, which was completely empty of other things before that, so there is no way we could have both missed it when looking.



A few days ago I was vaccuming upstairs and a nail dropped ont the floor behind me. I have never seen its like before, it looks like something like you would see made in the 1950s, even though it is clearly not old or rusted, and I have no idea where it could have come from or how it just dropped out of no where.



So I am dumbfounded about it all. I typed in "nail appeared out of nowhere" and this is the first website that popped up, so I thought I would relate this all here. If anyone has any rational explanation, I would love to hear it.

My hair brush went missing about a week ago...we had no visitors, and my kids are very young, so its impossible they could have taken it..my husband bought me a replacement brush, ..I had finished blow drying and styling my hair in my bedroom, and I know I left the new brush on my bed, and we went out for the morning...when we returned I wanted to use my brush, expecting to find it where I left it.we turned the house upside down trying to find it and since that day, none of my brushes have been found, its so strange...We have searched everywhere!!!!! Could someone have sneaked into our home with some kind of brush fetish??

I just got back to my hotel room after going out and placed my phone on my bed. I went to the bathroom, changed, but when i came back an earbud to my headphones on my phone were gone. I was wearing my headphones when i went into the room so i knew i didnt drop them. I searched the covers, the bed, the pillow, under tables, everywhere for at least 30 minutes but couldnt find it. I went to sleep and when i woke up it was on a table... I know i didnt have my phone on it when i went in my room and i know it wasnt there last night.

So, this is the second time of an object disappearing and appearing. It was 5am and I was doing the dishes and noticed the bottle brush missing. It is always at the sink. I asked my husband if he took it and he said no. I then proceeded to clean up and actually took the dish rag and wiped all around the sink and on top where the brush would be. As I turned to get the cat's water bowl to wash and came back to the sink the bottle brush appeared and It was as if it materialized.

This happened to me 30 years ago in my childhood home with a wooden jewelry box except I saw the jewelry box come down from midair and land on my bureau. Okay whose ghost is in my house?

Sometime in the late 1970's my husband (at that time) had bought me a ring with a cameo setting made of black Kentucky coal. It was supposed to be one of a kind. A year of so after this we separated.

One night I was at a local club, and I noticed I had lost the setting out of the ring as I was leaving. I went back in to search the area to try to find it, but had no luck. I told the owner if he found it to please contact me. It was never found.

Three months later I went to the drive-in theater to see a movie with my cousin. During intermission I went to the bathroom inside the concession stand. As I stood up from the toilet I saw this small, black thing that seemed to materialize right in front of my face. At first, I thought it was a black spider hanging on a web because it was suspended in mid air. Then it fell to the concrete floor at

my feet. It made a noise when it hit, so I knew whatever it was, it was a solid object. As I knelt down for a closer look I realized this was the setting from my ring! I picked it up and went back to the car. My cousin asked me if I was okay because she said I was as pale as a ghost! I told her what happened, and she was speechless!

I took the setting home, put it in my ring, and put the ring in my jewelry box. It has never been removed to this day. I still have it.

I cannot understand what happened, or why. I lost the setting 3 months prior in a totally different local, and then it materialized in front of me at a different place and fell at my feet!

This is the strangest thing to ever happen to me, and I've had many strange things over my lifetime!

I've had several clothes disappear from bedroom, both of them are very nice and I really do want to wear them. One is a dress I've been able to wear a few times and the other is this lovely shirt I never got the chance to wear. I've searched my the pile of clothes in my room and I've searched my closet. Either my closet lead to Narnia (where someone needs nice outfits), my sister's taking them (very doubtful, seeing as how we have two different boy shapes and I've raided her closet and drawers), or they're just magically disappearing.

OK SO... I have a set place for all of my keys...it's a routine of mine that never changes. I come home and drop my keys in the bowl before i walk further in to the house. If I leave...I grab them out of the bowl as I walk out the door. It's been that way for years. A few weeks ago I had grabbed my keys but didnot need to use them because I left through the garage so when I returned I realize that all of my house keys were missing off of my chain. Out of all my keys only my house keys missing. I looked for them everywhere with no luck. I figured I lost them somewhere. I keep my motorcycle keys in the same place.. a small deep bowl that I use for keys only. I just had them them last week....I needed them to unlock my seat to put my saddle bags on and then I put them back in the bowl. Yesterday I went to get them to start my bike up for a little bit and they were gone. We looked everywhere in the house, basement , yard, garage ,saddle bags , porch , ..we even pulled out every article of clothing that has a pocket to it and searched....NO KEYS..... So, this morning (on my way to work) my new house keys are gone again off of my chain but my vehicle keys (that my house keys are usually attatched to) are still there. Once again I did not leave my house yesterday and never pulled my keys out of the bowl for anything. I looked everywhere and on my way out I checked my porch and garage. The weird thing is when I got home on my lunch break, my keys were laying on my porch right in front of my steps (in plain sight)! I don't get it! What is going on with my keys?

I bought an amethyst crystal skull from a Witchery type store near my house and I lost it under very strange circumstances. I'm not usually into witchery but my gf is getting us into chakra meditations,she bought a crystal chakra set and sent me there to get my own. So I bought the chakra set and when I was at the counter there was a crystal skull on it and I decided at the last minute to buy that as well. I got really attached to the crystal skull, but I only had it for a few days like 3-5 days, I was carrying it around in my pocket cause it was making me feel really good. But I was getting kind of worried about losing it so I was trying to be really aware of it.

So this one day I have a pair of shorts on with kind of a loose pocket, and I'm kind of worried about losing it, I was even thinking about tying it to my keys. I lost it in the morning, and I was searching for it. I realized that it had to be in the babies room because I was playing on the floor in there, immediately after thinking this I heard something hit the floor in his room, and when I went in there he is standing there holding the crystal skull. So I put it back in my pocket.

Now when this is all happening the house is IMMACULATE, I was off work for two weeks and we has literally cleaned the entire house from top to bottom organized every drawer in every desk, cleaned underneath all furniture, our house had literally never been this pristine, every single thing we own had been methodically cleaned and arranged. So all this is happening at this point of peak cleanliness of our house.

So about an hour and a half after I retrieved the crystal skull from the babies room I was feeding the baby in the kitchen and I was sitting at the table holding the crystal skull in my hand, which my gf remembers too, while the baby was sitting in his high chair I went upstairs to put on a sweater. I had a few folded shirts on the floor, which I put away while in the bedroom (remember the house is magazine cover clean). So I go back downstairs and realize that the crystal skull is not in my pocket, this is max 15 minutes after I was sitting at the table holding it, all while the baby was in his high chair, and I had only been in the two rooms. I spent the rest of the day, and a good part of the following days looking under and behind everything in the house. It has been over a week now and I just really want to find it. I don't understand where it could possibly be... wondering when and where it will turn up.

About two months ago, I saw something sparkling on my bedroom floor. So, I reached down and picked up a fake sparky bauble (never saw it before)...so, I put in on the dresser. So, like three weeks later, I found another one of those same baubles on my bathroom rug. So, I picked it up and put it on my dresser with the other one. I examined the thing closely, but it was something that looked like it dropped out of a piece of jewelry or some object with bling. I looked at all my stuff....bags, shoes, boots, jewelry, clothes. I could not find one thing that was missing these baubles. Anyway, to make a long story short. This past weekend I went to the beach and stayed in a hotel. The beach is like 150 miles from my home. And what do you think I found on the carpet in that hotel room? Uh, yeah....one of those shiny baubles!! I sat up and took notice this time. I had nothing in that hotel room that had any bling on it. How weird is that? So, I put it in my purse and bring it home with me. I take it out and put it on the dresser with the other baubles. Now, today I go to the dresser to look at all of these baubles (all look same) and guess what? They are gone...totally disappeared. I live alone and no one has been in my house for a few weeks. What gives? I am so freaked out!

I've experienced three different cases of dropped objects disappearing over the past 10 ~ 15 years, plus one possible case from over 50 years ago:



1) I dropped a screw from an outlet cover I was installing and I was never able to find it. I heard it hit the carpet (not shag) and then it was gone. I searched everywhere (including pants cuffs, pockets etc.) and finally used a powerful magnet and vacuum cleaner, but never found it.



2) I dropped a pill on the kitchen table. It fell only a couple inches into the area of the table were several pill bottles were kept. I immediately looked for it, removing all the bottles and everything else on the table. It was simply gone!



3) The third object was a small round cosmetic container about and inch and a half in diameter and an inch tall. It was in the outside pocket of the shoulder bag I carry books in. I was in the restroom at work with bag on the counter near the sink. I went into the pocket for something else and accidentally dragged the container out in the process. I heard it hit the floor, but didn't hear it roll or bounce anywhere else. I immediately reached down to pick it up and it wasn't there! I searched everywhere in the restroom and never found it. Since this was the third time for me, I assumed it was just another case of dropping something and having it go "somewhere else". The fact that this object was of quite a bit more mass than a screw or pill has me concerned though. After reading some of the stories of others, from this point on I'll be very careful not to drop things such as my keys, wallet or cell phone.



4) The forth case happened so long ago and at such an early age that I cannot absolutely attribute it to this phenomenon. I was 3 or 4 years old and lost the rubber tire off of a small toy bus I was playing with. I dropped it trying to put it back on and was never able to find it. It fell on the concrete sidewalk where I was playing and then bounced or rolled into the grass. I literally tore the grass out searching for it and never found it. Even though I don't remember much else from that time (about 55 years ago), I still remember how long I looked and how disappointed I was at never finding the rubber tire.

I have an artisan made one of a kind pair of ear rings a friend made for me years ago. They were my favourites.They are made of three pieces of diamond shaped flattened silver strung together. They are long. One day in 1991 I opened the box they were in to look at them and one was missing. I looked under the cotton several times and shook them and thought maybe they were stuck together. They are imperfect sizes and dont fit together. I could not think why someone would take just one of the ear rings. I was really annoyed by this and perplexed. I kept looking for them in the box from then on. Later on after a few weeks I just left it alone and would look at the box from time to time. While reading on the bed and glancing at the boxone day,I got up and opened the box. I picked up the ear ring and while it was between my thumb,index, and middle fingers the other ear ring just seemed to emerge from the other one. I dont know. I just know that things always happen around me.

Phenomena:Disappearance and reappearance of keys



I know keys are something we all seem to misplace at times but this was not the case on this morning. I went to drop my girlfriend off at school. When we got there she tells me she forgot her phone and she would like me to go get it. (we live st separate addresses) I reluctantly agree. I go to her place and I open the door with her keys. I proceed to look in her room, the bathroom and the living room. With no luck I decided to go to my car to retrieve my phone from my car to call hers. At the bottom of the steps next to the door leading outside I realize I do not have her keys on me. I search my person to find her (one set of) keys with no luck. I decide I put them down somewhere and I will search for them after I get my phone from my car. When I open the driver side door of my car her keys are on the passenger seat of my car sitting next to my phone.

My daughter was six and was distraught about having to go to her first wake, which was out of town. On the way, we bought her a kid's meal, and in it was a tiny, stuffed dog. This dog brought comfort to her and she loved it. She named it John, and she loved it so much that his tiny body became limp in the middle. We had all come to love John, and since he was only about 5 inches long, we all helped her keep up with him. When she was nine, John was lost. We went through every box, nook and cranny in her room and all over the house. John was sadly never found. Years went by and it still made us sad. My daughter is now 16. Three days ago, I had to go to another wake of the SAME FAMILY, and my husband was dust mopping the floor. He pulled our new leather couch away from the wall, just as I did a few days before, so he could dust mop under it, and there was John! He was laying there like he had been there all along! He could not have fallen out of our couch, because we didn't even have that couch all of those years ago. He smelled great, just like he had been out all along. We have absolutely no explanation for John's appearance at all. In fact, there is no logical explanation. However, this is not the first time things happen in our home. I was missing a key drive for almost 6 months. I was sitting down, with my laptop in my lap, and I turned to talk to my husband. When I turned back, the missing key drive was sitting right on top of my open computer! Something or someone had just placed it there, right under my nose!

My nephew was missing so my husband, son And myself were out looking for him. Whilst out we received a call to say that he had been found but that he had passed away. On getting back to the car I removed my coat and put it on my seat. When we got home I went indoors and removed my shoes and realised I`d left my coat in the car. When I went out to get it it was not there. I looked everywhere and so did my husband. He said I must have dropped it before I got back into the car prior to driving home. Next morning I went out to car and there was my coat on the seat where I had left it

A few years ago I started noticing that the paper bills that I remember putting into my wallet would not be there the next time I opened it. At first I suspected the kids and even the babysitter, but then I decided to conduct the experiment. I put some cash into my wallet, put wallet inside the purse, and the purse a few yards away from me. It was night time, the kids were sleeping, there was nobody in the house but me, my husband and the kids who were sleeping upstairs. My husband and I sat in the living room and watched TV all the while the purse was in close proximity to me. I kept it under constant watch, even though it was clear that there were no one else in the house who could be able to mess with it. About half an hour later, I opened the purse (my husband was watching me) and surely enough, the wallet was empty! This continued until I told about this to a friend whose mom did something (I think she said a special prayer) and the money stopped disappearing.

I had a $15 gift card to Target, and I needed a few things, so I decided to go there during lunch. After I picked up a few items, I got in line at the cash register. There was a lady in front of me paying for her stuff, and a few people behind me. I opened my wallet and took out the gift card. While I was holding it firmly in my hand and looking at it to check the card value, it suddenly fell down. I remember the strange feeling at the moment, almost like somebody pulled it from me. I looked down to see where it fell, and it wasn't there. I saw it falling, but the next secong it was not on the floor and nowhere in sight. Not believing my eyes, I got down on my knees (!!!) to see if it fell somewhere under the counter or on the candy stand next to the cash register. It wasn't there. The lady behind me, probably surprised by my crawling on the floor, asked if I lost something. I told her I just had a gift card in my hand that flew away and disappeared. She said that she saw something falling, and she also didn't see where it went!



When it was my turn to pay, the cashier, who have heard all the commotion, offered to help me look for my card. She also searched the floor and the candy stand, but found nothing. Then she called the manager (I didn't ask for it, at that point all I wanted was to pay and get out of there). The manager came and started looking as well. I guess they only believed me because I was dressed professionally and only claimed $15. Anyway, the card was not found and the manager gave me a $15 discount on my purchase.



Now, there literally was nowhere that the card could have fallen. And what's more, it should have not fallen in the first place! Not only I was firmly holding it, but also looking at it. I swear, this felt very strange, as if somebody invisible took it out from me and disappeared with it.

This is a very interesting site to have discovered, with so many other people experiencing similar things to myself.

One of the strangest happened about ten years ago.

I was renting a small business workshop in town, and one day I removed my watch as it felt uncomfortable on my wrist. This watch was a cheap black plastic watch bought for the very reason that I find heavy metal types very

uncomfortable. Later, when I went to replace it on my wrist, I found that the strap on one side had come off due to one of the lugs having broken off.

I had a look for the broken off lug, but this was very small and my workshop big and untidy, so I gave up on it and for about the next year simply carrying the watch sans strap in my pocket.

It eventually came about that I had to vacate this premises, and so ended up building my own small workshop in my garden.

I started working there, and I would use my strapless broken watch like a small clock, standing it on the window sill. One day I picked up the watch

to take it out with me, and noticed to my utter amazement that it was no longer broken !!! I looked at the plastic lug with a magnifying glass and it appeared to have never been broke ! I still have the watch - - - I think.

I have experienced two incidents of disappearing object phenomenon that I will never forget so long as I shall live.

At this time I'll just mention the first one. Note: I was home alone when the following occured..



This weird incident happened to me many years ago when I was younger; young enough that I was still visiting and staying at my father's house every weekend. My ritual always consisted of getting a few changes of clothing ready, cd player, a few playstation games, and whatever other things I felt may be needed for my usual weekends of fun. I would put these in a duffel bag- the same one, the same general organized way, every time.



One thing I was sure to always bring was a memory card for my playstation game system, because I would often bring the same games from my house over there and wanted to resume from the same progress points when playing.



Anyhow, one weekend in particular before heading out, I double checked that an article of clothing was in my bag or whatever and while looking I noticed I didn't see my memory card in there, after I distinctly remembered putting it in the bag earlier. I didn't find it after searching through the bag fairly well. So I figured I may have left it in its usual spot near my playstation, but it wasn't there either. I ended up searching my whole entire room with no luck. I later returned to the bag and proceeded to dump all it's contents and rummaged through them and searched the inside of the now empty bag - Nothing!



Eventually after resorting to searching around the entire house aimlessly, I figured it was somehow possibly lodged in an unusual position in the bag (being quite small as it is), so I went back and proceeded to turn the thing inside out and searched every seam, nook and cranny as thoroughly as humanly possible - NOTHING! After this I gave up, and assumed I'd just be having a gameless weekend and maybe the thing would turn up in the future in some place that I overlooked.



After leaving the room to use the bathroom and returning a short time later to put my stuff back in the bag, to my absolute astonishment, there it was! Smack dab in the middle of the bag, perfectly placed in plain view - the memory card. I think I'd be more happy and content living with the whole situation if it just never turned up altogether, because I can easily live with the possibility of it having been misplaced or lost. But THIS? Nah..this is just some wacky shit right here..and it still haunts me to this very day.

A few years back, i was going through a divorce, and to deal with the stress i wrote poems. Well one poem in particular about God, i had misplaced for a good month or so. Couldn't find it anywhere. Well, something on my truck was messing up one day, so for the first time since i had bought the truck, i opened the fuse box to check fuses. Well to my surprise, there in the fuse box, lie 3 pages (i used a small note pad) of my poem... The paper looked as though it had been wet and weathered, to this day, i've never figured out how this happened. Also, i kept the 3 pages together and in a particular place ever since lol

I have had a few encounters of lost earrings reappearing, but today was amazing I had lost a small stud earring and butterfly holding clip about a month ago in my bedroom thought they had fallen on floor could not find them. Today I went into my bedroom and on my bed the ear ring and clip about an inch between them were on my bedspread. How, the bedclothes have been moved and changed numerous occasions since losing ear ring.

I take myself to be a very rational person and certainly not superstitious, however this seemingly subtle event literally tore a hole in my reality and left me utterly breathless and stunned.



First off, at the time this happened, I lived in a small room with very few objects and a lot of free space. "no cludder etc" Basically It was a bed, computer chair, 1 dresser, computer with a desk and a waste bin. The night it happened, I had decided to clean off my computer desk. I had just recently bought a G700 Gaming Mouse for over 100$ and I set it on the floor directly behind me so It wouldnt be saturated with the Windex I was going to spray on the desk. I proceeded to clean the desk "did not leave the room or do anything else" and when I finished, I turned around to pick up the mouse and it was gone. I immediately became confused and started looking everywhere for it, eventually becoming so frustrated that I almost began to cry. I had taken all the sheets off my bed, pillows, shaken them out more than once, checked in my waste bin, places I KNEW it wouldnt be. "u know what i mean" I KNEW that I had set it on the floor behind me. Obviously I checked all around the floor, under the bed. EVERYWHERE and many times. This is where I almost went into tears out of sheer bafflement and even anger.



I sat on my computer chair to attempt at calming myself down and at the same time trying to think what could have possibly happened. When I stood up to resume searching the same places for the 4th or 5th time and put my foot down to stand up and just like that, I had stepped directly down onto it and right on the floor where I had set it.



I picked it and stood there stunned and breathless, I even smelled it, almost expecting to smell Ozone or something strange. I then felt as though something unseen was toying with me, maybe it had gone into a different part of time, all kinds of strange explanations swarmed my thoughts. This happened about a year ago and I still think of it at least once a day. I understand this offers no evidence of and doesnt change anything, but at least for the sake of science, I thought I should share what happened. Even if it is on a paranormal website.

Just experienced the Vanishing/Disappearing Objects issue.

Used my laptop bag as a carrier bag for some groceries, and also used another normal plastic carrier bag.

Had both filled, and once I got home I placed both on the floor in the kitchen and proceeded to unpack them.

I unpacked the plastic bag first, then my laptop bag. All the contents that I had put in the laptop bag were in their cupboards, and I turned around to put the plastic bag in a cupboard under the sink where I keep them and an assortment of other bags.



Upon returning to my laptop bag, it had disappeared. I have spent hours and hours methodically searching every inch of my apartment for it. It's not exactly the size of something like a phone, it's a bag for a 15" laptop!

I have literally disassembled the cupboard under the sink to check the space between the back of the cupboard and the kitchen wall, and underneath the cupboard itself.

Nothing. I've searched every single bag in the cupboard, every square inch of the kitchen, including behind all the appliances.

I also searched the apartment bins, every item of clothing my girlfriend and I own, and still nothing. It has literally disappeared off the face of the planet.



After getting back to my apartment with the laptop bag and unpacking it, I didn't leave the place for the rest of the day. My girlfriend has also spent considerable time searching the apartment with me and it still just plain out has vanished without a trace.

My mother now deceased told me about a time when things were tight and rough for her. She needed soap, flour, potatoes to get by. She took her mother my granmother to the grocery store to buy her needs. She asked my mother if she needed anything? My mom being embarrased told her no I'll wait in car while you shop. She was thinking of the things she needed if she had the money. A big box or tide in the red/orange box, flour, all other things needed. My grandmother came out of the store and mom got out to help her load up her stuff when she noticed a cart with things in it, it looked like Tide and other stuff, but it wasn't there a while ago and no one came out of the store? She walked up to it and in it was everything she needed and wished for. I feel like God answered her prayers.

This is all very recent, but we've noticed specific objects disappearing and appearing in random places.



The first time it happened, a hairbrush went missing for a whole day, and no one in the house knew where it was. L had actually remembered the last time she had used it, and had placed it where she normally did in the bathroom. It soon vanished, and since no other person besides our 4 family members had been inside the building. We searched the entire house for it, only to have no luck.



Then, strangely, it appeared in the exact location the next morning. This was the first time it happened, and nobody had actually found it and put it back.



More recently, the same hairbrush went missing a second time, only to be found the morning of September 25th in the medicine cabinet. No one else has been in the bathroom for the entire weekend, and the hairbrush had been in its proper location before the start of the weekend. Even weirder, another hairbrush was found with the initial hairbrush, and no one knows how it got there.

Disappearing objects.



I does sound like bull I admit. Saying that, I have seen a mug of coffee fade away and disappear as I was looking at it. I wasn't on drugs or drink and I was in the house alone with the doors locked - so where did it go?



I was looking for it for months but never found it and it was really doing my head in - still does, if I think about it too much.



Apparently it is a common phenomenon...

http://google com/search?q=disappearing + objects + phenomenon



I guess someone must have 'beamed it up' so wherever it went, I do hope they enjoyed my coffee. :)



...................................................

Appearing object.



Like the disappearing mug of coffee this happened several years ago. My toilet wouldn't flush so I called out a repairman who replaced the cistern inside and he put a new badge on the outside.



O.K. fine - but while having a shave a year later, I heard something drop on the bathroom floor as though it had fell from the ceiling. There it was, on the bathroom floor; the old badge appeared a year later!



I guess the repairman must have dropped it on the floor but it disappeared (like my mug of coffee did) but a year later 'someone' decided they didn't want it anymore, so sent it back!

all these stories, and I thought I was the only one. I moved into my first appartment with a guy from work he was a few years older and just divorced. every time he called his ex (once a week) it degenerated to a screaming match. the phone was in a central hallway he slammed the handset down (back in the day of ma bell, you could do blunt force trauma murder with those phones and just wipe'm off and they kept working) he turned and with an oath (expletive) he tossed his sun glasses into the kitchen as he walked by.



I stopped him and we talked and he calmed down, he then went to retrieve his glasses in the kitchen, I was right behind him, he looked around perplexed and the glasses were not there. the room was bare, we were kids and had nothing to put in there, not even a cheap formica dinnette set. you actually have to turn left into the room and go about 5 feet to get to the appliances and cabinets. there was a window, but no way for even a mosquito to get through. we looked under, on top of, and inside the fridge, stove, cabinets to no avail. I even went outside and looked around under the window.



in the end we shrugged and he went and bought another pair of sunglasses. we never talked of it again, weird huh?

First I would like to clarify two things; I am a believer in the supernatural but not an extremist; I am an adult who has seen a few strange things and my family has a history of being...as one might say..in tune with the world on a different level.



Secondly this is the case of 3 DOP that happened to me in my life time, I am currently 29 yr old male (as of Sept 12, 2011) so I will recount the odd vanish/reappearances of things in my life.



(June, 2003)- This is a minor case of a few small objects going missing - When I was working two jobs (one retail, one food service) I had a few personal objects I carried with me from one to the next and to night classes at community college there after. One of these objects was a wrist watch, it was a Christmas present from the year before and I prized it amongst all my possessions. It was a Relic Watch, had a digital display in the background with a dragon occasionally appearing and the hands were silver and ornate looking. A good friend and I had both decided to skip night classes and go to a bar down in Cincinnati, Ohio. When we arrived I purposely placed my watch and his silver family heritage ring (worth a lot of money as it was a 5th generation 1700's heirloom he wore since his dad had gotten cancer) in the center console of his red Sunfire and we locked the console with his keys. After a few hours of hanging out we left the bar and when we got to my house we unlocked the console to find...the watch was missing; nothing else was gone however! His ring was still where we left in the console but my watch had utterly vanished. We searched for a break in sign, we searched the glove box in case we mis-recalled the location, and we searched all over his car three days in a row, never found it. No one had broken in and if the had the silver ring would be a big find seeing as it is very old, tarnished, and has the date 1732 stamped on the inside band. Never did find it..



..Later that same summer we both went to a public pool and we had worn some unique t-shirts we had picked up earlier that day at a K-Mart. Mine was a white t-shirt with a weird secondary cloth on top which gave the illusion of a giant illustrated spider being in 3-D; his was a of a similar style but had a lizard on it with the same effect. We had neatly folded the T-shirts up and left them in my Oldsmobile; we went swimming and when we got back to my utter confusion both shirts were gone. The car was still locked, the windows were up, and the shirts had been under a gray beach towel that had not been disturbed or moved at all. Never could figure what happened to them.



(February, 2007)



Later on I had moved for a job to Columbus, Ohio - while living with my then boyfriend we had several freaky things occur. One of the most puzzling was the vanishing of his glasses and their mysterious reappearances all over the house and outside on three recalled occasions.



They would be put down on the night stand, we would sleep, next morning they might not always be where he left them. He was a heavy sleeper and NEVER got up until 8am for work; nothing could wake him short of a REALLY loud noise, the house or bed shaking, or sun light. So we knew he didn't move them; some times we would find them on the stairs, sometimes the room mate's bathroom, others kitchen, middle bathroom, or the front yard once and back twice.



After I had moved out after we had broken up for 4 months he called me and accused me of breaking into the house (which I couldn't have done as he had changed the locks after I left) and moving his laptop. At the time no one else lived there as he had chased off all other room mates including myself and I suggested that 'the ghost did it because your a horrible person' he didn't like that at all but I found out he later located the laptop, in the basement where we rarely went let alone with computers.



(March, 2008) - After some life altering events like getting laid off I was forced to move in with my mother and step father when I had no money and no job remaining. On on peculiar occasion several little things just went missing; most never came back. The one I most recall is a Yankee Candle I had purchased for my mom and we had placed on a warmer in the living room just went missing. She brought it to my attention one day asking if I had moved it, I reminded her I had been gone all day job hunting and my step dad was also out working. There were no animals in the house and no signs of unlawful entry; besides who would break in to steal a candle and then nothing else of higher caliber? We did find it, she told me, last Christmas it just appeared in a box of things they moved with when they were forced to leave the house and end up in an apartment.



(April, 2011)- Most recent vanishing for me was a LAN cable I had purchased to work from home with. I had a 40 foot cable that I had kept in a drawer in a china cabinet that no one else in the house uses often. It was honestly the only object inside and no one else who lives with me would have need of the cable; it was black and truly very long and really difficult to miss. No one who lives with me knew what happened to it and we looked over and over again in the four spots I would normally have put it if not the drawer. Just recently, it reappeared in the same place! The same place we looked over what must have been 15 times or more...I happened to be looking for a C sized battery, checked that drawer and there it was, still wrapped up, and just sitting there. Freaky as it is...I am glad I am not alone in weird vanishings.

My family and I went out of town for a few hours one Sunday. Shortly after we returned my wife asked about an eyeglass case that was on our computer desk. I said to her that it was probably our son's. Our son said they weren't his. They were not there the morning we left and everyone left so no family member was left at home. We seen no signs of anything else out of place or weird. And there were no signs of forced entry. And our dog didn't act strange at all when we returned. No one in the house owned a glass case like this.

I have lived in the same house for 25 years. Objects have either disappeared after falling on the floor right next to the bed, and are never to be found. Or I place something in the same exact place, it will then be missing, and show up in THE SAME place about a week later. This house is not that big. I am not crazy. Reminds me of the children's book " The Borrowers".

Today I cannot find the earrings I placed on my perfume stand last night. No where to be found....

I had a number of experiences in a house i used to live in but one that stands out for me was what some say can be explained by something called "the old hag" where you wake up from a sleep feeling like evil is around you paralized in fear like somethings on your chest.but i dont think that is the case my experience was diffrent because a number of other parnormal type happings had occured in the same house and the experience was a shared one i awoke my heart was raceing like i was having a panic attack or someting i thought what is this a heart problem but a since of something hovering over me in bed but unseen i couldent move i was terrified my spouse was in bed beside me i said his name he said somethings there before i even said a word we both laid there and we heard a sound which i could only describe as that of feathers as strange as that sounds which we both clearly heard then it was gone we turned on the lights and looked around no windows were open and nothing could explain it there

I have had the experience of things going missing and reappearing where they were put sometimes after hours of looking keys and other things many times even when putting after putting the object in a certain place so it would not be misplaced this used to cause huge arrguments between me and my spouse and it almost seemed like whatever was doing it fed on those negitive feelings i almost starting thinking my spouse was doing it just so we could have a fight but then ruled that out i starting addressing whatever was doing it and just not looking for the missing object or getting stressed out and knew it would appear again soon most likely where it was left the crazy thing is this seemed to work and it has since almost totally stopped.

This should go under Vanishing Items (hope I'm posting in the right place).



This morning when I arrived at work, I opened up my purse to get out a pen. I was annoyed at how heavy my purse was, so I decided to clean it out and proceeded to begin pulling items out - old receipts, store discount cards, barrettes, etc. - and putting everything on the desk so I could go through the items. I reached in to pull out a pair of fingernail clippers, which fell onto the carpet by my feet. When I leaned down to pick them up, they were gone. I have since combed every millimeter of the floor of my small cubicle and have not found them.



This has happened to me in the past - where I drop something and it vanishes or when I put something in a particular place, search high and low for it, then end up finding it in an obvious spot where I had already searched.



I remember this happening specifically around 1985 or 1986. My sister had lost her high school class ring. She actually asked about it when she went to see a Tarot card reader and was told that it would be found on the carpet in plain view. A few months later, I was driving my car and saw something "shiny" from the corner of my eye. I looked down and my sister's class ring was laying on the carpeting on the floor of the front passenger seat. I know for a fact that my car had been cleaned, and vacuumed, several times since my sister had lost her ring. Crazy stuff!

This has happened multiple times so it's not coincedence.

Just today I had recieved two new books left them right next to me one of them dissapeared I asked my brother if he moved which he didn't he was across the room. Ten minutes of searching I found the book behind one of the couch cushions. My Phone, which I placed in a certain spot in the bathroom just up and vanished, a week ago said phone still hasn't been found. A few days before My phone went missing I had my girlfriend over and we were going to do each others make up. I went to go find a set of eye shadow I had used only two hours prior, oddly enough no one can put anything in that spot in the bathroom without it dissapearing. I'm frequented by a spirit so every time this happens I know it's him.

My Great Uncle passed away today at 3-15pm. At 3pm we planned to go and visit him and went to the draw that we put our car keys in. All keys to the cars had vanished. At 3-15pm we got the call to say he had passed away. We went back to the same draw and the keys had re-appeared!

This is freaking weird! I recently posted an experience about my electric problems in my arms but just now I was using my mouse when I bent over my chair to pick something up (my laptop). When i got back up with my laptop, I was bewildered to find that my mouse was missing, gone, no where to be. i thought maybe i dropped and looked around for a while. I then remembered that it couldn't have fallen because it was connected to the computer. I looked behind the computer desk, No luck. Then i came back to the front of the desktop sit back down and THERE IT WAS! Right on the freaking mousepad!.... Whats really strange is that it was wet, and there was a HUGE storm over my area.

Disappearing/Re-Appearing Keys, Disappearing Pen



In 1991 I was working at home as a writer and needed more diskettes to copy my documents for my client. I always shopped at a Best Buy store off FM1960 in NW Houston. I knew the store well and parked my car in front of the store door. I walked in and went directly to the aisle with the diskettes, picked up a box and walked directly to the cashier's counter. I had been in the store about 20 seconds. After I paid for the diskettes I realized I had lost my car keys. Store clerks and I searched for the keys in the aisles and under things, and never found them, even though I had driven there with those keys so I knew I'd had them. The keys were not identifiable in any way; they were four keys on a plain metal key ring attached to a little leather snap so the key ring can snap into a SAS handbag. The key ring held two keys for my car, one for my house and one funny shaped copper key for my garage. I keep a spare set pinned inside my purse and used those to drive home. Over a year later the keys re-appeared in my mailbox.



In about 1985 while at work in downtown Houston, my manager and I were alone in a small elevator talking about work stuff. He had a clipboard and he retrieved a pen from his breast pocket to write down what we were talking about. He dropped the pen. We both saw it fall, briefly hit the floor, and we both saw a quick flash of white light and the pen vanished. We looked at each other in shock saying "Did you see that?" We both had. The pen was GONE even though we searched the small elevator floor. He even checked the cuffs of his pants. I was wearing a suit and high heels, so the pen wasn't on me either. We didn't talk about it again.

Vanishing object.



About 5 or 6 years ago, I picked up the habit of plucking my eyebrows. Just the middle part. My girlfriend at the time gave me a spare pair of tweezers she had. Ever since then, I would streamline my eyebrows every 4 or 5 days. This has always been my M.O. for said activity, TO THE LETTER.

1) Open drawer.

2) Take tweezers out.

3) Go to bathroom.

4) Pluck away.

5) Put tweezers back on drawer.



I can't emphasize enough how systematic I've been about this. I have no other use for a pair of tweezers. I've never used them for anything else. Ever. Also, since I don't have a spare, I am careful enough to always place them at the same exact spot at the same exact drawer.



So, I just came out of the shower, about to go out to dinner with someone, and I went to get my tweezers. Vanished. "Must have misplaced them..?" I said to myself, even though, like I said before, this is really, really unlikely. 0.01%. I took everything out of the drawer and searched to the last nook and cranny, then I searched the bathroom, behind the toilet, in the medicine cabinet, everywhere on the floor, in the kitchen. Everywhere. They're gone.



I'm still waiting for them to materialize in front of my eyes or something, but they're not here.



Also of note: there's absolutely no way anyone else has taken them. No one's been here since I last used them.



I'm considering sleepwalking as a possible answer.

Years ago while I was remodeling my house a number of objects disappeared, which I generally put down to absent-mindedness on my part. But two missing-object events stand out as weird:



I was soldering some copper pipe in a new bathroom, using a small water-soaked rag to quickly cool down each joint after I soldered it. At one point I reached for the rag and it was gone. Nobody else was around and I had soldered several joints since entering the room. I figured I had set it down somewhere near me. After a futile search I became determined to find the thing, so I pushed my tools and stuff up against one wall and methodically picked up each thing and moved it across the room, one by one. I move every single object in the room (which was very empty -- no cabinets yet, just a bare room with a toilet and my tools & supplies). The rag was absolutely no longer in that room, and it never reappeared.



During this same project I got used to losing tape measures around the house. I had gone through 5 or 6 of them when at one point I spent about 20 minutes in a fruitless search that included a bathroom with a large white countertop. Returning from the hardware store with a new tape, I went into the same bathroom and there was the missing tape sitting right in the middle of the white countertop, with nothing else near it, absolutely impossible to miss.



There have also been two generally mysterious events at our house:



Power tool being turned on in a locked garage:

We used to have a detached garage with no electrical power. I was using it as a workshop and had run an extension cord out there for power, which was plugged into the back porch light on our house. So to use power tools in the garage I had to turn on the porch light. One evening we got home at dusk after a day of errands, and I switched on the porch light. I heard a loud electric motor noise coming from the garage, so I quickly turned off the light and then went out to investigate with a flashlight. When I checked my various tools I found that a joiner had been switched on. This is a very loud power tool that I never step away from while it is running, even to pick up another piece of wood. I would absolutely not walk out of the garage, go to the house and turn off the power with that tool running. The power switch on the joiner itself lifts up with a distinct click that requires solid finger pressure. The switch is mounted between two metal protrusions that protect it from being bumped by accident. The garage had been locked with a padlock for at least 24 hours. Who or what got in there and switched on that tool?



Ghostly voice:

One evening I was lying on the floor playing with my infant daughter. We were alone in the house. I was lying on my side, she was sitting facing me. I noticed that she was looking past me and up, toward the stairway that went upstairs. She was staring at something and smiling, and her smile and expression kept changing as if she was watching something entertaining. She seemed very captivated and on the verge of laughter. I was about to roll over to see what she was looking at when I heard a distinct voice say, "Hi!" It sounded like the voice of a pleasant old lady, in exactly the tone you would use to say hi to a cute little baby. I quickly rolled over but there was nothing there. It gives me chills just typing this.

in 2004 on my birthday i bought a brand new glass tobbacco pipe. I took it to a friends house to christen and i set it on the table and reached in my pocket to grab my stash and i broke out a bowl and as i was breaking up the pot i knocked the pipe onto the carpet and it bounced off my foot i was buisy so i waited untill i was done breaking up the herb and when i finished i went to retrieve the glass pipe and it was not on the floor, there was nothing on the floor it was completely clean no pipe nothing i never found that pipe and i was the only person in the room i looked for it for hours... with no such luck...

abilene, tx USA - Sunday, May 01, 2011 at 20:38:09 (PDT) A few years ago i had pulled up to my house and saw what looked like my watch laying face down on the cement curb next the the street,, i walked over to it and to my amazement it was not only my watch but it was not damaged in anyway.. and the date was off!! by over a year..

I know for a fact that the date was correct i set it when i opened it up 4 months ago for Christmas.. I placed it back in the tin it came in on December 27th and i put the tin in my safe that i kept personal possessions, like pictures of my dead pets, and my art books money gold coins and a box with odd small weird objects... i put my watch in my safe because thats where i kept my other two watches. i placed them all in the safe because i hate wearing watches...



I know i put it in the safe on that day because i came home that day my old cellphone and that watch were placed in the safe that only i have access too ...



a little over a month later i find it in the street in front of my house on the curb crystal down on cement in perfect condition..... the safe was undisturbed for that whole time i had no reason to open it,,,, when i opened the safe to check the tin my watch was not in there so it was in fact my watch.. how it made it 200 feet and through metal and drywall with out as much as a smudgeprint on it ill never know...

While in my room I was cleaning off my computer desk. I had set the mouse on the floor and finished the job. When I turned around the mouse was GONE. I have hardly any stuff here in my room AND despite knowing where I had set it I still searched the room in even the most bizarre places. I checked inside of all my pillows took off all 3 bed sheets I mean EVERYWHERE. I was almost to the point of complete shock and confusion when suddenly I took a step and had stepped on it exactly where it should have been and in plain sight. I stared at it in awe and almost wanted speak aloud as if to some unseen entity. I am an atheist and a very rational person. This is by far the strangest thing thats ever happened to me and will keep me wondering fo
