So it all started about a week ago. It was 9pm and had just gotten dark, and I was playing video games at my desk in my room. Through my headphones, I thought I could hear noises coming from outside but thought nothing of it, as I have a cat that comes and goes as she pleases into our front yard. A few minutes passed, until I decided to take my headphones off to go and grab a drink from the fridge, when I noticed a very slight knocking at my window. I turned on the light and opened my blinds a little, but couldn't see anybody out there. I once again thought nothing of it, and went back to what I was doing.

The next night, I was awoken at around 3:30 in the morning to a very distinct knocking at my window. I was in a delirious state, but swore I could hear someone's muffled voice coming from the outside. From what I could make out, they were saying something about how they needed to come inside and that they were lost. To give context, I live in a cul-de-sac in quite a compact neighbourhood with most of the houses being close together, so I found it very strange that someone would come to the end of the street to come to someone's window talking about how they were lost. I once again turned my light on and loudly asked what was wrong, but garnered no response. After about 10 to 15 minutes, I fell back asleep as I was too tired and had work in the morning.

About 2 days later, I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed at about 11pm, when I once again heard knocking coming from across the house in my bedroom. I rushed to my front door and turned the porch light on, then went outside with just about enough courage to confront whoever was out there. When I turned my head towards my bedroom window, I saw a figure crouched in a hoodie and shorts with no shoes on, who quickly got up and sprinted away down the street. I called the police, who turned up 10 minutes later telling me that there was nothing they could do as I didn't have any cameras installed, and there wasn't any crime that was committed.

Feeling defeated, I went back inside and decided to go to sleep.
I wish the story ended there, but things got worse the next morning when I woke up to a foul odour coming from outside. I found my cat dead outside, having been stabbed in the stomach. I called the police and told them about the previous nights events, and they said they would take the matter seriously and investigate the surrounding area for any signs of DNA and other things that could help with the investigation. Feeling very distraught, I spent the next day at home grieving the loss of my cat, until at around 6pm I heard a car drive near my house, open and close my mailbox, then promptly get back in the car and speed off. I went outside to see what was going on, and found a bloody broken beer bottle wrapped in plastic inside of my mailbox. I once again called the police, and they're taking the matter very seriously now that they have the possible murder weapon in their possession.

This was a few days ago, and I haven't heard anything back from the police as of yet. I have installed security cameras around my house for just in case this sicko decides to come back for some reason. I have no idea who they could be, or why they would be targeting me specifically.

I will give updates in the coming weeks if anything comes of this. Thank you all

Okay so about an hour ago, my toddler was watching YouTube on the family TV when I noticed one of the autoplay videos did not look right, I came across this channel posting weird what I can only assume is fetish content (vore, weight gain, etc.) revolving around clips of everything from kids cartoons (the loud house, pixar movies) to family guy and dumb and dumber, whatever kind of media you can imagine.

Okay so this is odd but not entirely unheard of. HOWEVER this account is called “plague the falcon”with a cartoon falcon pfp. In the subscriptions, there are hundreds of accounts with cartoon birds, and their respective names so like, “Xerxes the Falcon” “Minh Nguyen the parrot”

They’re all subscribed to a bunch of random and tiny (3 subscribers max honestly) family channels, which is honestly just parents home videos.

These channels have been posting for upwards of 6+ years and are still very active.

Anyways, I’ll attach some pics if necessary but the whole thing is just really really weird and unsettling, I feel like it’s too complex to be a kid or something like that, I don’t know. Anyone have any opinions on what this might be??

Edit: I didn’t think it was necessary to include but given your lovely DMs with parenting advice, I was literally sitting next to my child watching cartoons with him, on his kids account. I do not give him unrestricted internet access, he cannot even control it himself.

Appreciate all your help

What were they trying to hide in this video, at 07:40? It's clearly not nudity (the woman that's being blurred can be seen clearly in other shots), and it doesn't seem to be a brand logo or something. Then the blurring attaches to the guy's head? Is it to hide a glitch or something? I've been turning it over in my mind and I don't get it, but maybe it'll make sense to someone here?

PS: there's blurring at 4:42 and 03:03 too.

Edit: I forgot to mention that privacy was my first guess, but it can't be the reason because the woman who's being blurred at 07:40 can clearly be seen in other shots (also the blurring doesn't really cover her face). I thought of a logo on her clothes but it's not that either, for the same reason.

hey y’all, my family has no idea i’m posting this so if anyone recognizes me please don’t tell them.

my uncles ex girlfriend is a major narcissist. he’s a recovered alcoholic and owns a dog business. he had one dog with his ex and they share custody, let’s call the dog v. his ex, we can call her c, noticed he’s extremely independent now and has been demanding custody of their dog but also his dogs that 100% are owned by him that he rehabbed.

ok let me explain the rehabbed dog part. his dog business is pet sitting for rich people, if they’re gone for multiple days or work a lot or have young kids they just pay him to have their dogs hang out at his house with their other dogs. he voice trains them during their longer stays and takes them on at least two walks everyday, so people LOVE him. he feeds them really good too, if they’re on a hike more than 5 miles he’s befriended the burger king manager to get free patties at the end of the day to feed the dogs. he focuses heavy on nutrition and i swear he will eat the same frozen pizza for three days but those dogs have a whole balanced diet with vitamins and supplements. he loves his job and on top of that he’s an independent contractor, so he builds a ton of stuff for his dogs. he has a huge fenced in yard and his whole life are those dogs.

now here the thing about his ex, c is… not the best dog parent. she has a non fenced in yard that’s covered in rocks and lives in a mountain area with a ton of coyotes and hawks. she has a cat and the cat is fine, but not even her kids enjoy living with her because of how bad her house is. it’s extremely tiny and the dogs are only fed dry food and has no real bed for them.

my uncle’s business means that a lot of people with pets trust him. he rehabbed a special needs dog who now has a better life on a giant farm in oregon (he brags and shows us photos lol) but two families gave him their dogs p and m. m is a gentle golden doodle, she’s very shy and loves cuddles. her owner has lewy body dementia and since my great grandma (my uncles grandma) has dementia as well, he felt sympathy and took her in so her owner could go into hospice peacefully. p is a tiny golden doodle g ugh who’s about half the normal size and was originally super hyper, her family had a new baby and they didn’t want p because she was too energetic and hard to train. my uncle trained them both to voice commands, got m more social, and gave p a different kind of exposure training so she learnt that stuff like jumping on people would end up with her dog friends getting treats but not her. it’s worked week and he has fully ownership of m and p.

v is a golden doodle with the same energy as p, v was originally an ESA (emotional support animal) for c’s daughter but the daughter moved out and gave her family the dog. c is technically the legal owner of v while my uncle is the legal owner of p and m.

v was the dog that my uncle gave his first training, the dog that got him into working with animals, he loves that dog. c wanted to share custody after him and her broke up, and he never EVER wants to risk losing v especially since she helped get him through his alcoholism and recovery over the years. his ex began to manipulate him and make him share custody of p and m as well in order to dangle v in front of him, threatening to hold her away from him.

here’s the issue now: she’s convincing him he’s a terrible dog parent and he’s believing it. we ended up all blocking her (my mom, me, my grandma, sister, stepdad etc.) from all socials to avoid knowing anything about him but she STILL finds ways to manipulate him.

i just want to know if there’s anything we can legally do or use to protect him and prevent her from taking his dogs. there is no way he will let go of v and will do whatever he can in order to keep seeing her and having her stay with him every other week, but also he values p and m a lot. is there anything we can do to help protect him and his dogs? is there a way to have him gain custody of v? i’m only a teenager in high school so i have no idea how to help other than this, this is kind of a last ditch attempt and a last resort since he wants to keep seeing v. thanks.

I originally posted this on r/mystery and a lot of people told me to cross post it here as you guys are better at this sort of thing. Since posting it I have searched missing persons databases, reverse image search and contacted local police, in which they aren’t too interested as it is quite an old photo (I predict it to be potentially 70’s/80’s). I want to know if this is just an amateur photography project or a photograph of the corpse of a young lady.

“I was visiting back home to see family and friends over the Christmas period and decided to have a wonder around the one charity shop in their village, which is located within the south of England. I had a flick through some of the books that caught my eye and inside this particular one was a picture of a woman laying clothed in a bath with her eyes closed. her hand looks dirty and her lips look chapped. She looks pretty lifeless to me.

At first I thought this was maybe a free picture that came with the programme. I doubt this though as there was nothing mentioned about it, it doesn’t seemed to be connected to the show (although I know nothing about it), it’s a different size to the programme, and a completely different paper stock. this was on thicker paper. There was also a cut out from a magazine of Elvis Presley which you can see the back of to the left of this photo.

I guess i’m just wanting to share this here because it really made me feel quite weird and it’s mysterious to me. I wanted to see if any one knew what the picture is or has seen it before. A google image search didn’t turn up anything for me.”

Hey, I had this friend who at the time went by TehBlackopsMaster on Roblox, mind you this was about 10 years ago lol. Since then in 2018, I reconnected with him. I don't know why but for some reason we stopped talking and eventually his Discord got deleted/he deleted it? I've been looking for him forever since, as he would be my oldest friend. He went by Veurem last, and now his Roblox is Goons_Out. If you do in any way know him, please contact me. (Discord is proscrito) The only other piece of information on him (aside from his Roblox user), is that the only other "mutual" friend (I talked to the guy once) was someone named WhatIsThis (I know, helpful.) There is a picture of his old PFP along with Veurem's in this post's connects. (Pulled them from his deleted user, thankfully he snipped a convo of them both lol.) Thank you.

Help me please I got $ for whoever can uncover this face and plate stole my dogs on Christmas

https://filebin.net/8kj4sp3hvwmqpmkn

Please help

I need to get a clear image of this cars license plate my car was totaled in a hit and run got footage but cannot get it clear enough to read the license plate to be able to track it back. I only have liability insurance as my car is old and i am a college student. Anything would help.

The car in front of us kindly stopped, and gave us their dash cam footage. It’s a bit blurry and we’ve had no luck with the license plate, but hoping maybe the model might be easier to work out?

It’s on the tollway so I was really hoping the police might be able to get the drivers details from the toll company - but apparently they only help the police when the crime has a penalty of at least 3 years and where I live it’s only 2.

• my insurance company can only confirm that the accident is “not at fault” if we have the drivers details 🫠🥲

Friends at RBI,

My friend opened up to me about trauma she has been facing since late last year. She's okay with me asking for help.

[In China] She had a long time friend in China that she trusted, they were very close. This friend knows many of her family members, some of her friends and their family. They're all connected on WeChat. One day she was drugged, physically abused, and raped, all by her friend while being filmed. She was then blackmailed into similar situations with more pictures and videos. According to her, the Chinese police system doesn't care much about these kinds of crimes. Eventually she worked up the courage to run away to the US.

[In US] She is still being harassed by her friend. He would send threats to her. She does not block her friend and does not remove WeChat out of fear. She doesn't think going to the police now would help because (1) it was a while ago, physical evidence does not exist and (2) the events occurred in China. She says her friend being in China protects him from the US justice system.

She has breakdowns because of this and is in a very bad mental state. She feels powerless in this situation, and I have no idea how to help her. I've told her about talking to her parents, and saying the media is AI generated. She says those explanations don't work culturally, and her life with her family would be ruined.

[Request for advice] When I look online, most of the resources talk about blackmail at a domestic level with "fake threats"/ public information (name, street address, house photo). Are there a set of actions she can take to remove the control this friend has over her? Any advice is appreciated, even if already stated in the post.

Odd request, and not sure if this is the best place to ask, but…. My dad is big into genealogy. He got photos of these headstones from someone online, but as you can see they are very worn and the pics aren’t great. Can anyone help me decipher them?

A few large pieces of gold jewelry were stolen from my home. One of them being an irreplaceable pendant with sentimental value.

https://i.gyazo.com/thumb/1986/e96235badf0b33e6e1456440812ff1e8-heic.jpg

Been scouring online for any trace of it since it was less likely to be melted than the other missing pieces. If you see it online or at a pawn shop in the San Francisco Bay Area please let me know. If you have the pendant I would take it back no questions asked. Reported to insurance and police but obviously they’re not chasing down my jewelry.

Update: r/jewelry was able to determine the designer is likely Donna Chambers.

So I work at a small comcert venue. We have like 15 ppl overall working there. We have a magnetic lock security system. But no CCTV.

Our building has this office that most ppl work in. The director's desk has a safe container that we store a small amount of cash and some documents in.

Everyone on our team is like a family to each other. Great people, really. Most of us work here for quite a long time, too.

We all really trust each other, so... The keys to the safe lie on the safe itself. It is not immediately obvious, you can't really see this, so you have to put your hand there and search around for the key.

When I was on my vacation, the head of the company (let's call her M.) texted me saying that some cash was stolen. She did not really announce that to anyone else. But we both blamed it on our janitor with schizophrenia. But nothing followed since we couldn't really prove it. M. later put some fake bills in the safe, hoping that the thief would be caught with them. We did not move the key anywhere else or put a number combination to protect the safe.

Fast forward several months, this Saturday night I was alone in the building and had to retrieve some money from the safe. M. told me she put it there on Thursday. Only it was not there. It was stolen, including plastic bag it was in. There were only documents, 1 random bill and an another plastic bag with a miniscule amount of cash plus the fake bills.

I've informed M. about it. On Monday she's checked the safe herself and... The another plastic bag with some cash and fake bills was stolen. Only the documents and the random bill are there.

I know all of that sounds stupid. Boo hoo we left the keys to the safe on the safe and got robbed three times. The problem is not in the money itself, but rather the fact that that someone in our tight-knit team is capable of this. Please help us (me and M.) determine what's the best course of action from there, if what we want is to catch the culprit.

First, the schizophrenic janitor has moved to an another city 1000s of km away. We think it's highly unlikely for these thefts to be done by different people. Or are we blinded by our trust in people? Could our team have (at least) 2 thieves?

Second, our office is protected by a magnetic lock. We lock it when no one's in the office 95% of the time. Only sometimes we leave the door open when we go to the WC or something like that. So no randos could do that. It almost surely is someone who has the key.

Third, we can see in an app who opens the office first thing in the morning and who closes it last. So no one with a key could go in during the night, when no one's there, steal, then leave unnoticed.

Fourth, I think the money was taken in a hurry (2nd robbery, they did not take all of the money. Just took the plastic bag that was lying on top of everything. 3rd robbery, they took a plastic bag again, leaving the random bill untouched). So I don't think it is someone who comes in first or goes home last. They would have plenty of time for themselves to search around for money and steal it. So I don't think it's our new janitors. Besides, they don't know about the safe key. Unless they have thieving tendencies and searched for it.

I know some members of our team have money problems. But I don't really suspect anyone. I can't. They're all such great people. What do we do?

Hi, I make this post because today something very weird happened to me while doing absolutely nothing in my pc. I was afk, because I was playing guitar, and suddenly a pdf file was downloaded from youtube.com apparently (I had several tabs open). I downloaded it, as I had nothing to lose, and it downloaded a Socioeconomic Effects document from Riverside Solar Project on Lyme, NY. I don't know why or how that could have happened, as I don't find any relationship with anything I did previously. I understand it is a public document, but it's still weird nonetheless.

Yesterday, I was sitting in my room, watching old TNA (It’s a wrestling company). And I suddenly started hearing this high pitched beep. It sounds like it’s coming from in the room. I’d hear it like every 15 minutes. Idk what it could be. At some point, I thought it was the smoke detector so I changed its batteries and thought I solved it. I didn’t hear it for the rest of the night but then today, I heard it again about 10 minutes ago. I haven’t heard it since but I have no idea what it could be. It’s driving me crazy😂 It’s the pitch and frequency of a smoke detector but if it’s not that, I don’t know what it could be. It’s only one beep too. It’s not continuous

I found this stream on Insecam. The camera is being actively monitored and controlled, with someone deliberately finding lit-up windows and zooming in to spy on people inside of a large apartment complex. They are particularly focused on one window that seems to be the bedroom of a younger woman.

I tracked the stream to a latitude and longitude outside Doylestown, Pennsylvania, US, right outside of the airport. But after watching the stream for a bit and seeing it zoom out, I noticed it quickly pan over a newly-opened White Castle next door to a Star Care Pharmacy directly in front of the building that’s being peeped on.

After doing some digging on Google Maps, I discovered that this apartment complex is located in Jamaica, New York, and the person peeping on people is almost certainly located in the apartments across the way, The Camelot on Wexford Terrace.

I was thinking about seeing if I could find a neighborhood group for the apartment complex to let people know, even if that sounds kind of extra. Is there anything else that can be done?

My friend and her dog were just rear ended traveling on i5 south by the Oregon border.

She thinks it might have been a Subaru but not positive since she was in shock at the time. I know the photo is blurry, but I’ve seen Reddit do amazing things.

Link to photo : https://ibb.co/8xjvRFt

The license plate is circled and the photo was taken from the rear (since front license plate was missing).

Found this (https://www.amazon.com/Bicycle-Valve-Resistant-Motorcycle-Cylindrical/dp/B0C9W6Y55K)on the car overnight screwed into the air valve on a back tire. Didn’t know what it was. Turned out to be an LED and not a tracker. But should we be concerned for our safety or the car?

I was lying in bed, trying to sleep. It was almost midnight. I closed my eyes. Couldn't sleep. I opened them again. But when I opened them, I saw lights moving around my ceiling, all shaped like circles. I barely managed to sleep that night. But the next night it happened again. It just kept happening. Until I told my friends about it. I told them about it, and it just stopped happening. I even made a graph to try to figure out what it was but it never happened again. It's been years now, and I still don't know what happened.

I feel like this isn't normal.

Although some may not take this seriously. I have a burner account i made last year. Earlier today i approached a guy to make conversation as i felt social. He said to me. "Makes sense, i hate asians" I was an asian, and as a joke i retorted "Your pale lol" cuz his avatar was chalkboard white.

He paused then asked "who are you again?" As a joke i said "Ghostface" he responded with a correction and my last name (its more than ten letters). I left, deactivated my account, reactivated it to report and block the guy who i think it was and deactivated again. Should i be worried? I'm 14 years old and i know nothing about this

Although i did have my email on that account in privacy settings, i dont know how he still saw it. Ive seen people who knows how to get in databases but idkk man

Edit: Cased Closed??? If you have any additional advice/information please comment it as it would be helpful, but as of now im closing this post, thank you guys for the help

So, I tame animals, and I was sitting on my desk, waiting for a squirrel to come, and I heard really loud sniffing that sounded like a dog. And then I heard a noise that sounded like stomping on wood. Then I heard the sniffing again, with a metal falling metal sound after it. I checked my yard but I couldn't find anything that would make that noise. And the sounds sounded like they were coming from under my deck. But there was nothing there. Does anyone know what animal that was?

In the last 48 hours I have received 10 insurance company calls to my cell phone. They know my first name and are looking to have me insure a car of a make and model I don’t, nor have I have owned. It’s infuriating because they are spoofing local numbers and I need to pick up this line for work. My desk number reroutes to my cell when I am away from the office.

Any way to fix it? Should I be worried about a scam? They know my name, but I’ve never had the car they are talking about. All different callers all claiming to be from a different big name insurer (All State, State Farm, Progressive, etc.). They have been robo texting me as well, all of which I reply to with “stop.”

Hi all, new to the subreddit! It was recommended to me. I got a phonecall last night in which they left a voicemail, and my son tracked it down to another town in my province but we can't figure out what they're saying. The only thing it sounds like to me, is they're saying my name in the beginning "Kayla" and then something else. We're annoyed we can't figure it out. Can any of you? I posted it on my profile for everyone to listen to. It's not a long clip. Is it an adult? Kid? we're stumped! Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm new to posting on reddit but I need either advice or someone to ease my concern. lol

Basically I moved into a new apartment about two weeks ago and today i received a small package with a return name/address i didn't recognize. It was also from a state i have never been to and do not know anyone there. Thinking I may have ordered something on ebay and forgotten, i opened it. Inside there were five identical post-it notes (i can't add pictures but they're valentines day post-it notes with nothing written on them, they're pink and have hearts printed on them, along with an illustration from lilo and stitch? that was the only contents of the package.)

The weirdest thing is that it was addressed to ME, spelled right and everything. Whoever sent this even knew my specific apartment number, which is weird because i have only been living here two weeks. If it weren't for these aspects, I would probably write it off as a mistake.

I am woman in my early 20s, and I live alone, so I'm definitely ERRING on the side of caution. Is there any way I can figure out who sent this?

I've looked up the address it was supposedly sent from and can't find anything relevant.

I've dealt with weird men online who have been creepy to me, hence why I'm being abundantly cautious, but I can't think of any specific person or instance I've had with anyone that would put this package into context.

I don't think this is a brushing scam? But i could be wrong?

any help or insight would be awesome... thanks
