What is the weirdest event in your life or strange things seen?

I’ve had a handful of strange things happen to me over the years, but the one that continues to blow my mind the most is this:

Float trips are a popular summer activity in Missouri. They’re canoeing, or rafting trips, generally combined with copious amounts of alcohol. While on a 7-mile float trip with a group of friends, I lost my ID. It was in my swimming trunks pocket when I started. And it was gone when I finished.

Three full weekends later, I went on another float trip with my long distance girlfriend (now wife), her family, and a group of her friends. At the end of the float trip, I’m having a beer and enjoying my time on the beach and a stranger walks up to me and says, “I think I have your ID”, and hands it to me. When I thank him and ask where he found it, he tells me that it just floated across his foot in the river.

I don’t know how many thousands, or millions of gallons of water had passed in those three weeks. I can’t fathom the astronomical odds and the timing. It really does boggle my mind.

edit: I suppose it adds to the story that the stranger was actually a friend of my (now) mother-in-law, and she was the first person he asked if they recognized the ID. She said yes and pointed him my direction.

things i can’t explain happen to me constantly now. sometimes before but since the icu trip all the freaking time. the voice that yelled “get the fuck up now!” and got me get up and downstairs - saving my life - was the second most trippy thing that happened.

I thought I saw a zombie once but it was just my brother and he was drunk.

I saw a dog get get so excited he jumped off a deck
Thing is he turned over in mid air and landed
On his back.
We bought him a helmet
