What is the most unexplainable thing to ever happen to you personally?

When I was a boy I remember the console stereo turning on by itself one afternoon. It was playing a song that was a favorite of my grandfathers. Having just arrived home from school, I was the only one there. I assumed someone left the stereo on from earlier in the morning and didn´t give it a second thought. As I went over to turn it off the music suddenly stopped. When I opened the console to turn off the power, I was astonished when I saw that it was already off. I wasn´t really scared until I walked away and noticed the stereo was not only unplugged, but wrapped up nicely in a rubber band. I remember my mother would do that once a month when she´d go around the house to give it what she referred to as a Deep Cleaning.

You see my grandfather had died two weeks earlier. He and I were really close.

Another week or so went by and my father came home with a box. In it were some personal belongings that my grandmother knew my grandfather would´ve wanted me to have. Amongst them were some WWI medals, his transister radio and some other keepsakes. To my surprise there were three record albums we use to listen to together. One of them contained the song I heard the unplugged stereo playing that day.

I often think about that incident even to this day. I´ve come to terms with what really happened was that I probably heard what I wanted to hear.


What was the strangest thing that might have happened to you that to this day, you still have no reasonable explanation for?
