We have plenty of words for the strange things that happen in life but are hard to explain, from fate and luck to gut feelings and even the occasional “glitch in the matrix.” Whatever you want to call them, these moments are as mysterious as they are fascinating.

So when one person on Threads asked users to share a one-in-a-million thing that happened to them that no one believes, but they swear is true, people had plenty of wild stories to tell. We’ve gathered some of the most surprising ones below—scroll down to read them and don’t forget to upvote the entries that amazed you most.

My mother often tells me about one night when I was 2, I woke up and started calling for my Dad. This was strange because I ONLY ever called for her, so she starts shaking my father to wake him up and he opened his eyes and said he had a really bad headache. When he tried to sit up, the whole left side of his body was paralyzed. My mom called 911, turns out he was having a brain bleed in his sleep and would have passed away had I not cried for him instead of my Mom that night.

I was infertile. Had our first baby via IVF and was 7 months pregnant with him— had a dream where my late mother was in delivery with me and I had a girl. She said “here’s Sadie, the most beautiful girl in the world”. I was pi**ed cause I knew I wasn’t gonna have a daughter. We likely were gonna be a one kid fam due to infertility costs One year after my son was born, I was surprise pregnant. Called my aunt to tell her. She said “weird you are calling! I had a dream last night that your mom had a baby. Your dad and your grandpa were there (all had passed). And it was a girl, but it wasn’t you or your sister. And they said ‘time for the most beautiful girl to go to earth’ to the baby”.I said “Dana, I’m pregnant” and she hung up on me cause she thought I was lying. (Had been infertile for 4 years, and my son was the only embryo we ever got.)And yes. It was a girl. It was Sadie. She’s 4.5 now.

My husband and I were told we were infertile. We had a “suprise” natural pregnancy that I expected would be our 1 and only. 10 mos later we had suprise pregnancy 2. When my husband told his mom- who was terminally ill with cancer- that we were expecting again she said “I knew one of the girls was pregnant- I saw the baby girl with dark curly hair in a dream”. She passed away a few weeks after. Baby girl was born 9 months later and had clearly already met her Nan

I saw my mother’s energy leave her…she let out a little exhale and I will go to MY grave knowing I saw a spark appear from her mouth. Just before her last breath, she also nodded her head and said, “Yes”…. Her Eyes opened and tears appeared - then she left this earthly place in my arms.

The night I recieved my 2nd full thickness corneal transplant, I saw my donor passing away. It was a download in the middle of the night. It was like I time traveled. I saw him walking into the park... then running & boom, he was lying in the hospital. I can even give details of his outfit. They don't give you any info about your donor before surgery. So it wasnt like it was a per thought.. Nobody believes me. That was a yr ago & I still get downloads about him.
