Could be a ghost, poltergeist, cryptid, UFO, raining frogs, time slip, premonition, anything you are comfortable sharing.
I am a paramedic and have seen a fair share of trauma. But around 15 years ago I saw someone take a fall that by all accounts and all probability should have killed said person. And I mean I literally saw that guy faceplant 15 meters directly onto the pavement, hitting the pavement with his skull first.
And I don’t mean something like “in a rush of Adrenaline he walked it off for two minutes and then died”. Nope. We took him in as a full trauma call. Besides the laceration on the forehead there was zero injury. The hospital did a full body CT scan, did MRIs of the most endangered areas. Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing.
I have no idea, to this day, how that happened.
Just to make it clear, I am by no means calling you a liar and I don’t mean to be rude, I would just like to ask some questions that you don’t need to answer if you dont want to. Just ignore my reply if that’s the case.
Are you sure you’ve seen them fall yourself?
Was the first impact really only their head/face (no hands bracing for impact)?
How old was the person and how much did they weigh roughly?
Edit: The only explanation I could come up with myself is that the spine as well as the skull was taken to it’s absolute limits absorbing the impact and some very lucky genetics. They must have landed in the most “optimal” position, too.
Yeah, saw the fall myself in full length. So did around 12 firies and my partner. (We were called for a person planning to jump, he jumped just when we left the truck) I see if I can find a news article of it - we made the news with it back then. Patient was fairly skinny and fairly young. But with that height that normally wouldn’t matter. Neither would bracing hands or anything make a difference.
And your doubt is very much indicated - I wouldn’t believe that storx myself if someone told me about it. That’s why I don’t repeat it in a non-anonymous context anymore…bad for my professional credibility. Even if you discount the whole bone situation the impact normay would have at least caused a intracerebral/subarachnoid haemorrhage…or ruptured the fucking aorta. Etc. Etc. I have no idea where the kinetic energy went. It has to go somewhere.
Thanks for your answer. No need to look up any evidence for me, I genuinely believe you. Also I am just some random dumbass on the internet. I thought maybe you were misremembering details, because it was so long ago, but if so many people saw it there’s no doubt about it.
They jumped at the ground and missed.
I remember my first flying lesson
Recently lost my childhood cat and I am sure that he found a way to say goodbye. I knew that his health was bad for a long time and actually thought that my mother already took him to the vet, because we talked about the date and time and everything. Sadly I was not able to say my final goodbye, as I already had plans to travel to my grandma, who is also healthwise in a bad shape. Was not sure how long she would be around, so I priorized her. A sunny morning came along, 600km away from home and my childhood cat and I decided to go for a walk in the forest. Upon entering I was LOUDLY greeted by a black cat, looking similar to my childhood cat. You see, this is unusual. Went for so many walks there already and no cat ever greeted me. Normally people there do not let them outside because of foxes and a notoroiusly bad road with speedy drivers. But this cat obviously belonged to one of the houses bordering the forest. She was im dire need of love and I gave all the scritches I had. After a few minutes it had enough and playfully wandered off into the forest, looking back one more time. I had the feeling that there were adventures waiting for this cat, but it was nevertheless thankful for my love. Phoned my mom later that day, she told me the vet appointment got postponed to this exact morning. :(
One of my kids once emptied the dishwasher without bitching about it. I have no fucking clue what was going on there.
I was working a pub late one night. Around 11pm or so I was down in the cellar getting all the empty kegs ready to be picked up. I put down a keg and as I turned to grab the next one I saw like a black cloud/shadow/ misty thing rush at me.
At first I didn’t think anything of it and kept going. After a minute or so I thought about it and if freaked me out so I legged it back up to the bar haha.
Another one I saw when I was a kid. We were at my cousins place playing inside. We had a family friend there as well who was out in the backyard by herself. As we were playing we heard her come running into the house and straight into the bedroom.
We heard her ripping toys out of this big chest and launching them all over the room. We asked her what she was doing because she was making a mess and aunty is going to kill her. She looked up and said the little boy she was paying with ran and hid in the chest.
Now normally we wouldn’t have believed her but the is mentally slow and didn’t know how to lie or make up stories like that. My cousin who’s house it was would always tell us weird stuff happened in that house but we never believed her.
Not saying I saw anything or that ghost are real or anything. Just weird things I have experienced.
A droplet of rain once passed through a completely closed car window and hit me on the cheek.
That’s just ghost piss
I’ve had this happen too.
I’ve heard it said that’s technically possible since most matter is really still mostly empty space, but what are the odds truly?
When me and my sister were 6 and 4 our dad came in to our room to tell us a bedtime story. He lied down with us on the bed and started telling the story.
It was just before Christmas and because our flat was small we had the Christmas tree with lights on in our room by the door, and we were on the other side of the room on the bed by the window, ca. 3 m away
Once he was done withe the story suddenly in the same moment the Christmas light turned off. That was in Poland in the 80’s so no home automation or anything.
He told us the Jesus baby turned it off because it was sleeping time. Even as a 6years old I was suspicious about that answer because it was a one time thing. But I never figured out how he did it.
Nothing of that nature has happened to me yet, but, for instance, my wife dreamed about my dad (first time) and told me about it some hours before my mom called me to tell me he had died.
This actually happened earlier this year.
I was driving with my partner in a somewhat rural area. We were driving on the interstate. It was a sunny, bright winter morning. There was not all that much snow on the ground.
I notice on the side of the road, what appears to be a bear sitting in the shoulder next to the freeway, its back is turned to us, so we see its ears. It is completely black. Not black like a black bear, but black like those character locked memes.
I literally think it’s a wooden cutout. People sometimes make those for wild animals around where we were. Although as we pass this thing, it’s clear to me it is in fact a three-dimensional bear. I get a quick glimpse of its face. It is a fully, jet-black bear. The only details I can make out are small glints from its eye and the wetness of its nose. Apart from that, it looked like a void in space.
My partner and I sit in silence, and I eventually say “did you see that?” And they say “yep”. We’ve talked about this since, and my partner stands by the fact that they think it was a 2d cutout. They didn’t see the front side, which is making me think I somehow imagined it.
There are a few logical explanations, but it’s certainly the weirdest thing ive ever come across while driving.
