19 Unbelievable Stories People Kept To Themselves

I was sitting on the balcony around 2 or 3 am smoking. I have a lot of flowers in pots, some are hung some are on the ground. I also have lights and you can see pretty clear. All of a sudden one of the flowers just started shaking as if wind was blowing it, but there was no wind and all the other flowers stood still. I kept my eye on it and around it thinking it was a bee or some kind of bug but i didn’t see or hear anything. Plus it was shaking in a way that human hands would shake it left-right.

I was driving home at 1 am & I stopped at the stop sign a street before my house & noticed 4-5 motorcycles behind me. I had a gut feeling about these guys so I passed my street & kept going & then all the sudden they were surrounding my car. I called 911 & was freaking out, like these guys had masks on & they followed me until I got into town & they peeled off when they realized I was headed for the police station. They were so close to my car that they were almost touching it, I was crying so hard & just drove away as fast as I could. A couple weeks later, I told my hairdresser the story & she was telling me the that the same thing happened to someone she knew in the same area except they pulled guns on her in broad daylight.

I was about to open a door when one of the glass panels exploded. I knew my hand was cut by glass, but what didn’t make sense was why I felt a particular sensation on my torso. My abdomen had been wounded somehow. The wound was deep, going all the way the muscle, & there was a perfect hole. When I got to the hospital I was taken to an operating room. It is a legal requirement in the US that doctors contact the police whenever they treat a gunshot wound. I told them all I knew was a small glass pane exploded. To this day, I don’t know what happened. There was no glass inside the wound, which the doctor found odd. One theory was that a stray bullet may have been the cause, & had lost enough velocity that it was able to penetrate the skin, but the muscle offered too much resistance.
