What is the craziest unexplained event you have witnessed?

What is the craziest unexplained event you have witnessed? Jennifer Scholl, MSW from The Ohio State University (2018) First, let me say that I am and remain a huge sceptic, even after this happened. I’ve thought of every possible explanation and I still have no idea how this happened. Whether you choose to believe me or not, I have no reason to make this up and like I said, I’m skeptical every time I hear a story like this. But nonetheless, here is the completely unexplainable event I witnessed:

In 1999, my mother was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and was put on multiple drugs, including prednisone. She was having seizures and her over all mental and physical functioning were being severely impacted by the tumor. Her doctor very stupidly failed to mention that the high dose of prednisone he’d put her on causes potassium to leech out of the body, so she went into hypokalemia. Her heart stopped and the jolt when she hit the floor was hard enough to cause it to restart, enabling her to call 911. I was asleep at the time in the house and woke up to my brother telling me that police and paramedics were downstairs working on her.

We kept an eye on the situation that night because it was looking catastrophic, as they had to keep going back in to resuscitate her. Eventually we went home (they kicked us out basically) and just hoped she’d make it through the night while they pumped her full of potassium and other drugs through her IV. The next morning, we hadn’t heard a word and assumed she was doing fine. I got up and came in to see her and was relieved to find her awake and alert. She was also very loopy and positively euphoric. The first thing she told me was that she’d left her body the night before, and found herself walking with Jesus on a beach. She was so ecstatic, talking about this amazing experience she’d had, that Jesus had told her it wasn’t her time yet and that she still had many years yet to live.

My response was… let’s just say there was a lot smiling, nodding, placating “oh wow that sounds amazing, Mom”-type responses from me. I was secretly thinking that whatever drugs they’d given her must have been… uh… the “good stuff” if you know what I mean! So after maybe 15 or 20 minutes of this, her nurse came in to check her over, and so this woman also got to hear the story, and like me was clearly very amused and just going along with it.

When the nurse pulled back the sheets to look at my mother’s feet and ankles, I heard the nurse gasp and freeze, like she had no idea what to do. I looked over and saw what had her so shocked, and needless to say, I did the same. My mother’s legs were covered in sand, almost up to her knees. Like she’d been walking on a windy beach and the sand had gradually got stuck to her legs as she walked in the surf. The nurse peeled her socks off (which were the socks issued by the hospital and put on her feet the night before), and found that her feet were also covered in sand, and it was even between her toes. She ran out to get other staff in, and before we knew it, there was a parade of doctors, nurses and patient aides coming through the room to look at my mom’s sand-covered feet. I could hear people in the hallway debating how a woman in Ohio, nowhere near any sand at all, whose heart had stopped several times in the night and who had sensors on her body to detect if she got out of bed, was able to walk through sand, despite the fact that she hadn’t been covered in any when she got there. If she had been covered in sand, they would have noticed and cleaned her off when they dressed her and put the socks on her feet. No one was ever able to come up with a logical explanation, it’s not like they were keeping sand traps in the hallway! And we certainly weren’t keeping big sand pits, or any sand period, at home. They later gave her the socks in a baggie, still covered in sand.

In the end, my mother did survive the brain tumor, despite being told she had 6 months at most. She found what was at the time a new, experimental treatment, called stereotactic radiosurgery and underwent the procedure as only the 6th patient to ever have it done, and in the end it saved her life. She had more than 15 happy years with us before dying of breast cancer almost 4 years ago, and always kept those socks as a reminder of the time she walked with Jesus. So whether you believe it or not, that is the strangest, most unexplainable event I’ve ever witnessed in my life.

Wow! Angels unaware.

Have you ever seen photos of any of your grandfathers/uncles when they were younger?

The scene of Hillary playing with the little girl soon after being diagnosed with pneumonia was truly surreal.

When we were stationed in NAS Fallon Nevada we were driving at night to Reno. There was a stationery bright bright light high straight up in the sky that stayed there over an hour. It never moved or got less intense in its brightness. It made a giant perfect circle in the desert. It started miles in the sky. No one could explain it

Actually this began a long, long time ago in a galaxy far far away when beings in a planetary alliance went off the dilithium crystals standard as the basis for their standard economic unit.

As a consequence large amounts of credit developed many members, while at the same time these advanced beings visited Earth, and were able to tap into and send all telephone conversations back to their own system, even giving themselves their own number.

Somehow they began receiving calls from Rachael from Card Holder Services offering to get them out of debt. These beings were duly impressed that Rachael was able to attain their secret phone number, and though that perhaps its was due to some faulty code on their end (later they also began to received warnings from the Windows Technical Support Dept. in India that their operating system was sending out many error messages).

Take it from there.

Precognition, remote viewing of past and future events, and synchronicity, those things I have a personal explanation for, but for this I have none. One weekday morning near the end of rush hour in early Spring, I was pulling onto the Capitol Beltway in Northern Virginia from 395 North. While on a looping flyover ramp, I saw two huge orange triangles with rounded edges like guitar picks flying in close formation maybe 3,000 feet up. I would guess they were at least two hundred feet across in size. They were turned almost vertically, one beside and slightly below the other. They banked slowly and gracefully, ending up one above and ahead of the other and began to follow the beltway toward Maryland. The entire maneuver was unnaturally slow and the distance between the craft was so constant, it was almost like they were attached. It all happened in the clear view of hundreds of motorists, but no one seemed to notice.

I can think of a couple of other interesting ones tho not really miraculous. I had taken a year off, researching my ancestors in Georgia. I finally got down to $20. Not a big deal as I was expecting a large check any day. There was a football game at Georgia Southern. I wanted to go but the price of a ticket at the gate was $12. As I approached the gate, a guy walks up to me and hands me a ticket. A few days later I was down to 40 cents cash and $5 in the bank. Now I could have called relatives and got emergency cash but sort of wanted to see if I could stick it out. I stopped by the Winn Dixie to see what I could buy for 40 cents as there was nothing to eat. As I stepped in the store, there at my feet was a $5 dollar bill. The next day I phoned the bank, entered my information and the balance was $8,800. My check had made it by direct deposit tho I guess that is not technically a check.

Amen. I had money that I needed to get on the subway to do evangelism come blowing down the street right at my legs. And after praying to God to show us if it was His will to go to Florida (it was Winter) to evangelize, and have not much more than subway fare, then in short, a German Pentecostal man whom I have never met, who was going to Orlando with his wife and kids but whose plane was delayed, caught up to me and looked me in the eyes and said "God wants you to go to Florida," and pressed (what turned out to be when I really looked at it) $200.00 (back in 1994). Which resulted in enough stories of God's providential care to talk for hours. Glory be to God.

But then there my "negative" testimonies of God;s word coming true in chastisement for not being as faithful as I should have.

I believe you.

I sincerely believe that I too have twice encountered angels, unaware at the time, but struck with profound awe afterwards.
VERY spiritually & emotionally moving.

He kinda has ways of tapping people on the shoulder and telling them to do X or Y for someone. Those are my favorite kind.

I STRONGLY encourage you and all to read “GOD’S SMUGGLER”. It is story of Brother Andrew, who smuggled bibles into Soviet block nations. Many miraculous stories. Our God still performs miracles. Angles still intercede in the affairs of mortals and I’m VERY reluctant to quickly dismiss the stories of those who’ve met them. Their lives are changed because of the events.

You had more of a chance than you probably think. I was typing so fast thinking, "I gotta be the first! I gotta be the first!" that I kept screwing up and auto-correct was coming up with the stupidest suggestions, I thought for sure there was no way I would be the first.

I'm sure our roles will be reversed in the future.

And Epstein didn't kill himself.

Given the excuse the Hillary campaign used (flu, wasn’t it?) was such bupkis!

That said, here’s this mother who lets her child near a woman who just passed out from something?

My first thought was, “this mother is an idiot.”

I add to correct myself to, “this mother is a democrat.”

Democrats are generally direct threats to their children in that they will sacrifice them to get the Democrat agenda further.
