A few years ago, a couple who looked to be in their early 30s moved into a large, four bedroom house in our quiet cul-de-sac. The previous owner, who we know well, told us the couple had bought the house outright in cash. Their adult son independently mentioned the same thing a couple of weeks later, without knowing we’d already heard it from his father. As I understand it, the couple’s offer was also attractive because they had no property chain.

The new owners very much kept to themselves and never interacted with neighbours, which nobody really minded, it was just noticeable. Over the following months though, unusual activity became a bit too obvious to ignore.

There was a constant stream of visitors arriving in very expensive cars, with three or four different vehicles appearing on the driveway daily, and a different selection the next day. The owners also regularly drove different cars. Visitors arrived at all hours, including through the night. Noticeable due to exhaust and car door sounds, but I am a very light sleeper. Some let themselves in with keys and stayed briefly, others appeared to exchange something with the male owner before leaving. He would also frequently move boxes and gym equipment between the house and garage at odd hours. Possibly unrelated but appeared odd nonetheless. The activity was noticed and mentioned by several other people, including a family friend who stayed with us for a week, and multiple neighbours.

Edit: My sibling just recalled us discussing how we often used to comment on their windows being left wide open and off their hinges, for hours on end including through the night, and lights in the house remaining on for days on end. Again, maybe unrelated, just odd!

After about a year, the couple packed suitcases into a car one evening and left, presumably for a holiday. A few hours later, their house was raided at dawn.

Multiple unmarked vehicles arrived, and officers in all black clothing and protective vests surrounded the property, also blocking access to and from the cul-de-sac. I couldn’t clearly identify the agency. The operation lasted several hours, and a large number of boxes were removed from the house and garage. I couldn’t see what they contained.

The couple returned from their trip during a low-key street party and went straight inside. Nobody mentioned the raid.

Immediately afterwards, all the unusual activity stopped. No more daytime or late-night visitors, no revolving door of expensive cars. They switched to only driving one car each, which remained the same.

In the months that followed, beginning quite quickly after their return, they became much friendlier with the neighbours, joining in with a later street party and chatting regularly, asking for advice etc. They’re now settled with children and a dog, and I’m friendly with them myself. Nobody ever found out what happened.

I’m absolutely not accusing them of anything, and of course won’t be identifying them. I’m genuinely curious about what might have happened. I have a few theories of my own, though they may be way off, and I’m interested in hearing from people with more knowledge or experience of these kinds of raids.

Has anyone encountered anything similar or has any informed theories about what could explain the unusual activity, the raid and the immediate end to it all?

FINAL ETA: Will update you all if there’s ever an outcome, good or bad. Appreciate all the input and insight!

Went to dinner with my husband (together 12 years tomorrow) last night to celebrate my birthday. We had a great evening, we laughed, joked and just had a good time. We have 3 children so any time we can escape and rekindle is lovely. We sat next to a couple who outwardly didn’t seem abnormal. They were sat before us and left about 20 minutes before we did.

Here is the weird part, as they got up to leave, the woman who was sat next to me on a long booth, stood up to squeeze in between our tables to leave and as she did, she flashed her phone to me which had a text in her note app that said “girl, run!!”. I was perplexed, shocked and genuinely freaked out. As she was leaving the restaurant and was at the door, she then mouthed the word “run” again as she left.

My husband and I were both shaken and found it odd. Neither of us knew the couple. We weren’t discussing anything particularly polarizing and I have no reason not to trust to him.

Anyone have ideas why someone would say this to a stranger? I’ve been so freaked out since it happened.

TLDR: went to dinner with husband and random stranger wrote me a note that said “girl, run!!” And mouthed the words “run” as she walked out of the restaurant. Freaked out since it happened, any possible explanation?

ETA: appreciate all the responses - good and bad. Obviously I knew I was never going to get the “answer” but reading all the possibilities has been interesting.

Looking for a missing friend of the family.

Statistically, we know he is most likely not alive but have been searching IRL and online as much as possible to try to rule out the more remote possibility that he may be living his best life somewhere, either with dementia/amnesia or having chosen to walk away.

Also looking for court records related to him and his family.

What resources do you use?

I recorded this in the middle of the night in my bedroom. I hear it often through out the night. It sounds like it's coming from the next room but I don't hear it when I go in there.

Almost sounds like a crappy police scanner? Sounds robotic and garbled...

Absolutely no tvs radios etc are on

Is there a logical explanation I'm not considering?

Greetings from San Antonio. The local University Hospital reaching out to our local area about a man they can't identify that was hit on one of the highways in the area and is in critical condition. He's been unconscious for 6 days. No one has stepped forward, so I am attempting to get this in front of more eyes.

"The man is believed to be in his 30s or 40s, about 5 feet tall and 160 pounds. He has no scars or tattoos and had no belongings with him, according to the hospital."

Hello, I am a junior student at the American University of Sharjah.

I am conducting a study on the ethics of web sleuthing and and how their research is conducted for a university level research project that could potentially be published in a journal. this is an anonymous survey that i need people to answer in order to get enough data for my research. I am hoping to get first hand accounts on the subject from people in the community.

https://forms.gle/ACAzfpdvjumr2Xqb6

I would appreciate if you can help me by answering this survey.

On July 9, 2026, two healthy, well-groomed dogs were found alone at Will Rogers State Beach in Pacific Palisades. A beach bag with a swimsuit, dog food and a sunshade was found in a nearby restroom. An eyewitness reported seeing a woman with these dogs in that restroom.

A month later she has not been identified. LAPD's Missing Persons Unit is investigating under Report #26148091. The story has aired locally in Los Angeles but never nationally - and the person who recognizes her may not live in California.

The story has been covered by KTLA, FOX 11 Los Angeles, Patch, KFI AM 640 and Hoodline.

Good Samaritans started a website. Please take a look at pictures of dogs. Someone recognizes them.

Need help identifying a semi truck that was involved in a hit and run incident Orlando, FL. Pics I have were from another vehicles dashcam that captured the semi, but it’s hard to make out the plate. I have photos and video to help.

So I don’t know where to start, but I guess my biological dad was an interesting human
He died of a drug overdose about eight years ago.
When I was a kid, he did apparently undercover work for the ATF agency in California.

I can’t give too much away, but I do have his fake IDs, all stories. My brother’s godfather was the either captain or some high-level person and I have the name of that person and his son is still alive and also in the agency.
And I have a news article from one of the undercover drug bus, but essentially I will give a very quick little piece

My dad told me when he was younger he got in trouble. He was really really really good at kinda I guess infiltrating certain groups and so they took him out to like the forest of Sacramento and said hey if you go undercover to universities and help us monitor these communist groups in the 70s I guess maybe it was the 60s I was born in 77 but if you go into these groups and report back to us we won’t get you for these weapon dealings you did and so that let him into a lot of undercover stuff so yes, he was a narc, but we were around bikers are beginning of our life and some pretty dangerous people and I remember many many stories that are crazy

But I want to find out the truth. I want to find out who these people are that really hired him and what kind of documentation they have on him or reports or his file I have fake but they’re real company IDs in the 80s with my dad‘s picture and fake names that he would go undercover to these businesses that are actually like aerospace and military type businesses so someone got him these IDs.

I know this is very vague, but obviously I need to protect some information but no, I cannot just do a random freedom information act my brother already tried that but I guess I could try again but if there’s any information anyone has to the best approach so they actually don’t deny us that would be great. Like, why would they give me the information or why would they hold the information from us and how can I actually like force them to give it to us?

Im a bit bored and have always been intrigued by those 'online detectives' is there a subreddit/community whatever you call them \[ sorry I don't use reddit much \], where you can investigate incidents along side others?

This is probably a long-shot, but around 9:55 a.m. today, I was side-swiped by what I think was a silver Toyota RAV4, just past the HWY55 exit towards the split off between 94E and 394. They were passing me on my left and drifted into my lane. Alas, they did not pull over so I'm left with a scraped car and some blurry dashcam footage.

Unfortunately, the sun creates a pretty harsh glare against my windshield and the reflection of my dash blurs out the license plate even more. This would be my only hope to the State Troopers paying even an ounce of attention to this lol.

Google Drive Link: [Here] - Drive folder includes two short videos of the crash and immediately after, and the zipped file of these videos in case the quality is better. Hopefully I did this correctly - let me know if different file formats are better for this!

for brief context. i was forced to sell my very first car in 2025. literally January first i think. it died on the guy somehow and he sold it to a shop whom i think auctioned it off. i thought it had been crushed since a year went by and it was never titled again....

lo and behold i check the vin on carsforsale and there it is, March 17, 2026. registered and titled in my state still.

i dont need to know bros details. i don't need to know who he is. all i want to know is if its in the general area still or if its like three hours on the other side of my state lol.

the vin: 2HGEJ6614YH525481

last titled: march 17th, 2026

state: south carolina

last known location: gaffney south carolina

please help me find where it might be ish. again i want to reiterate. i have NO INTEREST in finding anything out about the owner, just the general location if possible within the state. if any more info is needed that doesnt delve into personal details i can provide

mainly looking for

Can anyone find archived advertisements or auction records for this VIN?

What public databases cover independent dealer auctions in South Carolina?

Are there ways to trace the car's resale history through public records?

Hey guys, I wanted to see if anybody could maybe give me some advice about a beeping noise that started today in my girlfriend and I’s apartment.

I was out for most of the day, but my girlfriend was home and asked me if I noticed any beeping noises when I left early that morning, which I didn’t. When I got home, I heard the beeping, as it goes off pretty much every 5 minutes. It initally sounded off 3 short beeps, but it switched to 5 maybe an hour or so after I got home in the afternoon.

Of course the first thing we were worried about was the CO detector, but there was no indication (i.e. a flashing light) on the monitor of it being the source of the beeping, and when you stand directly under it and wait for the beep, it sounds like it’s a good 10 feet away. The smoke detector is right next to the CO detector, so it’s the same problem there.

What’s strange is that we can’t seem to pinpoint the exact area of the sound. Every time we’re sure of what direction it’s coming from, we go to that area and wait for the next round of beeps, and it sounds like it’s yards away in another direction. We’ve checked the kitchen appliances, the thermostat, the humidity sensor, the digital lock, and nothing has really been a clear culprit of the beeping.

Please let me know if anyone else has experienced this and has any suggestions of what could be making this noise. If context is any help, we live in a pretty recently built apartment complex with 5 floors and we’re located in a fairly major US city. Let me know if y’all have ideas, because I’m starting to feel like a subject in a psychological torture study.

Update: So, somehow, the mysterious beeping stopped? I checked the batteries on a lot of things like people suggested, but didn’t really find a solution. I went to work for the day, as did my girlfriend. I got home a couple hours after my girlfriend came back and after an hour or so of my coming home, she realized she hadn’t heard the beeping in a second, which made me realize that I hadn’t heard it either. Someone asked if it was possible if it was coming from a neighbor’s apartment, which we had kind of ruled out because of how little sound tends to travel between these walls and because of how clear the high frequencies of the beeping were. But again, the beeping was pretty quiet compared to any smoke/CO detector’s low battery alarm that I’ve heard and it just miraculously stopped without any action on our part, so maybe it could’ve been from the neighbors? I’m not gonna question it, I’m just happy it’s gone.

Sorry for the disappointment, but thanks for all the suggestions!

So for background. Me and my partner, around 30, live in a small apartment complex (circa 6 apartments) in the middle of your typical small town. Europe, very safe area, not a hotspot for drug use or anything, quite the opposite. The analog intercom/ring/doorbell (really not sure of the terminology here, sorry) is very old, something like this .

Yesterday, between 22:00 and 23:30, someone rang our doorbell three times. What happened always was:

1. The person ringing.

2. We pick up the ring phone, asking "Hey, hello! Who's there?"

3. No one says anything on the other side, but keeps ringing.

4. Ringing continues for three or four minutes, continuously, without stopping.

5. Ringing stops.

6. Nothing for 15 - 30 minutes. Then AGAIN.

First time we thought it was an accident. Second time we walked through the hall of the first floor of the apartment complex to look out of the window there, but before we got there the person was gone. All this time we tried communicating through the ring phone, but nothing.

Eventually the third time I immidiately dashed through the hallway while my partner was still asking who is there. I looked out of the window and saw the woman.

I would write it off without this incident, but it just gave me creeps. I leaned over to see properly at the main doorway and suddenly I see a girl, or woman, maybe a bit younger than us, but seemed adult - ish (definitely not a kid playing the "doorbell game" unless the age range for that changed since my time) She was walking away. I yell affer her, very loudly, she had to hear it:

"Hey! Do you need something?"

Nothing. At this point my boyfriend gets there and yells even something like:

"Cmon, stop, we get playing around one time, but this is too much!" to which I yelled, at that point genuiny frightened:

"If you need something from us just tell us!"

But the girl didnt turn around, didn't speed up, didn't even flinch, genuinely ZERO reaction. She just kept, very slowly, very calmly walking through the street until she dissapeared behind the corner.

Now, you might think I am freaking out a little bit, but the last, third ring was what was IT for me. I get teens playing around, but the woman didn't even move slower or faster. I immidiately thought "drunk" so even if I saw her from just from behind I immidiately looked for any sign of like, wobblines, but no. It was like it was a very measured, deliberate pace.

We have paper thin walls so if there would be other apartment ringbells ringing we would've known. So it was just us. I asked my neighbor today, just to ve sure, who said she had no one ring her, but suggested that because this is a really old building, maybe the person tried to ring someone else and there was a short circuit and it connected them to our apartment by accident. Its true those are old doorbells.

But do you think that is a plausible explanation?

There is one more thing but really it just makes this even weirder and I don't wanna seem like I am reaching. Several weeks ago, I woke up my partner in the middle of the night at like 1am, claiming I heard a dorbell and it woke me up. My partner said he heard no ringing, we agreed it was probably in my dreams, and we both went to sleep. If that's true, that means there was one more strange ringbell incident in our apartment complex and I am wondering if this is more "ask the landlord for a new doorbell system and stop freaking out" kind of issue or should I start, like, asking around if anyone has similar experiences and try to actually look into it deeper? I don't wanna freak out for no reason, I tend to be a little bit like that. I tried asking AI, where at some point it claimed it's likely the ringbell really short circuited, but then some sources say there is a very low probability of that happening, but hard to say without me understanding how those ringbells really work.

End even if, like, why would anyone even behave that way towards someones apartment anyway, even if she wasn't ringing us? I think the answer is "kids" or "tweakers" but it just, he whole situation in general made me so anxious I need some reassurance it's really JUST shorted doorbell or tweakers or kids.

Without giving away any context of why I need this, I need help to figure out what this portion of a blurry picture of a barcode is, whether that be numbers/letters. I have a picture of the partial barcode here https://imgur.com/CBErrgy

I'm honestly not even sure if this actually is a barcode, but I'm fairly certain it is.

Hello. I am hoping someone could help me. This was taken at a bar at night. I am trying to decipher what sport or event this image is from. I know its likely impossible to get the actual broadcast, but just the sport would be very helpful. Date unknown but likely 2026. There is no useful metadata. https://imgur.com/a/ZQIBUUT

Update: Since so many people are curious about why I'm investigating. Depending on what event this is I will know if I am being cheated on by my partner.

Hi there, this is probably going to be vague, and I’m not really sure what purpose this post will serve, but I figured I would come here regardless.

I live in a fairly tucked away neighborhood in a moderate sized town, but in an overall rural state with not much happening here. The neighborhood is located in such a way that in order to really get to it, you have to turn off a main road, then drive down to the end of a dead-end street and make a turn into the neighborhood. Because of the set up, very rarely does anyone ever see unfamiliar vehicles since if someone is lost or needs to turn around, going into the neighborhood is an extra and unnecessary step.

I first noticed this over this past summer. I had donated bone marrow and was recovering from the surgery in July. It was much more painful than I had been expecting and even with the pain medication I still slept atrociously. One night, I was up around 230AM watching TV in bed when I noticed a sedan style car pulling up to the neighbors house directly across the street. Only they didn’t actually pull into the drive way, they just stopped there for about 5 minutes then drove off. However, in order to leave the neighborhood, you would have to go to the end of it and drive around the cul de sac and then leave. At first I thought someone was lost or dropping someone off, although that would be truly out of the ordinary for this area and this time. But, didn’t think much about it.

But then I started noticing it happening more and more. I mean, i’m definitely not up at 230AM every day, but even after healing from surgery, my sleep has always been a mess. So when I do, I stay up and will have my bedroom light on. My bedroom has a wall of massive windows facing directly toward the street/neighbors house, and at night, with my light on, if someone looked in, they would absolutely be able to see me (realizing how creepy that is). Anyway, because of that, there have been multiple nights where I have been up and had my lights on and just in my room, when that same car will pull up to the neighbors driveway, stop, then drive to the end of the neighborhood & turn around.

Well, tonight, or this morning i guess, like clockwork, the car showed up , and stupidly i walked over to my window and looked out. With my light on , i was clearly visible staring out. And to my absolute horror, the car must have seen me because it drove straight into my driveway. I was absolutely terrified, and it just sat in my driveway, running with the lights on. Nobody got out, nobody said anything. And then the car turned off and everything went dark. By this point I had my bedroom light off, and had pulled up the doorbell app I had to look and see if I could see anything, and some guy wearing a balaclava walked up my steps and was staring at the door. He didn’t do anything at all. Just stood there and looked around / stared, and the left. Then the car turned back on and left the neighborhood (at least, I’m assuming).

I have no idea wtf is going on in this neighborhood. The neighbors across the street from me are an incredibly nice young couple, and I have no idea what this car / people could be/are doing. Also terrified someone’s now going to break in and kill me at some point lol, but - what could be going on? I called the police but of course basically told me it was probably just someone lost and since they just walked up to my front door and then left its not like a crime was committed. So i’m just curious as to what in the hell is going on. Does anyone have any ideas?

With my luck, the people in the car will see this post on here and know exactly who i am and where i am🤣

UPDATE 13:37 (1:37PM) - hi everyone, thanks for all the comments and suggestions & sorry its taken so long to update! I went over to casually speak with the neighbors but only one of them were home. I’ll refer to them as ‘A’ and ‘B’. A answered the door and i asked if he had noticed anything strange in the neighborhood lately. He said no, and i think he put 2 and 2 together, me coming over on a saturday morning to ask that question lol, so when he asked why I asked if B was also there. He said no and asked why so i told him i had seen a strange car i didnt recognize in the neighborhood and he didn’t really seem bothered by it at first, but then i mentioned it waiting at the end of the drive way and then it seeing me and pulling into my driveway, so i showed him the door camera footage of the guy in the balaclava and he about had a full blown panic attack. I guess he & his partner/husband (not entirely sure what they consider themselves), had previously lived in Texas and had been in an “uncomfortable” living situation and while he couldnt be 100% positive, he said the body stature, frame, and ‘general physique’ looked like the guy they had been living with. Then i told him it had been going on for a few months, that it wasnt just this one occurance. He got really quiet and asked me if i could send him the footage, so i did and he then he basically thanked me for telling him and closed the door. Not really sure what could’ve happened in a living situation to make someone from Texas come all the way up here to just follow someone, nor why the person would just sit for a few minutes in front of the house in the early morning hours - but he clearly did not want to offer up an explanation and i didn’t really have time to ask any questions…but either way - now i dont really know what to do from here? Just leave it alone and hope that balaclava guy doesnt at least come back to MY house??

UPDATE 10/5/2026 19:00 (7:00PM EST) - thank you everyone for the continued interest in support! This is a quick update but hopefully i will be able to share more soon. But, I have tried getting more information from my neighbors and they are being super …unhelpful. Im not a conspiracy theorist but of course now my curiosity is killing me so i want to try and find out what I can on my own. First off, I realized I don’t actually know their last names (they say they’re ‘married’ in the sense they don’t need a document to prove it which means legally they both have their separate last names) - so my first plan is to at least figure that out and then using OSINT to see if there’s anything with their names in Texas, but more importantly im working on coordinating something with a friend who is going to park either at the bottom of my neighborhood or somewhere nearby for a few days around 2AM to see if the the guy comes by again, and if he i’ll send my friend a text to let him know to drive by and he’ll capture a shot of the license plate with his phone. Lol, i realize all of this sounds dramatic, so VERY OPEN TO IDEAS.! You guys have given me a ton of good ones so far so figured i would check back in on this!

Link to the "video"

The audio raised a lot of red flags for me. I know my friend and his mom are not all the way there mentally, but I can tell that they have a good relationship with each other. But in the audio, I hear is what sounds like a loud bang and a woman screaming . But maybe it's my fucked up mind, and I am throwing something innocent into the deep end, and there wasn't any guns, and it was just a woman (not my friend's mom) yelling at her dog, and the bang came from a vehicle.

I am thinking about sending this to the police unless you all don't think it's necessary.

Hello, sorry if this is the incorrect place for bringing this up, but I have genuinely got no idea what could have caused this. I've tried some google-fu and research myself and it has lead nowhere. Despite it being quite mundane it remains a very eerie mystery for me. Still one of those things that I think about at night, even though almost a year has passed since then. It honestly felt like something straight out of a bad creepypasta.

Back in November 2025, I was playing Silent Hill 2 on PC through the PCSX2 emulator. I was streaming the game over Discord to three friends of mine in a private group chat call. There were only four of us in the group chat, all of us were in the voice call watching the stream. I was streaming the application directly, not my entire screen.

During my stream, I reached the point in the game where you enter Neely's Bar and you come across red graffiti in the building (not my screenshot) saying "There was a HOLE here, it's gone now".

I remember vividly, that almost instantly after looking at the writing in-game I heard the Discord notification sound. I didn’t check it straight away. I assumed another friend had messaged me or somebody had posted a meme in the groupchat, so I continued playing.

Roughly twenty minutes later I reached a save point, saved the game, stopped streaming and checked my notifications/DM's

I had received a DM from an account called PRISM. No new messages apart from that or anything that could set off a notification in that time. It had no custom avatar and was marked as an APP/bot account. It said one message

"Hole sends his regards". Nothing else.

I was very concerned by this, and I tried replying with something along the lines of “Who is this?” or “wtf?”, but Discord immediately gave me the standard “Your message could not be delivered” error. Indicating that the bot somehow blocked me, or couldn't receive messages back. I had never interacted with this bot before, and I did not share any mutual servers with it. I tried messaging it again recently and nothing I send it comes through.

Naturally, my first line of thinking was that one of the three people watching the stream had set up the bot as a prank. Obviously, I can't rule that out with 100% certainty. When I told them about this when it happened, all three appeared genuinely confused/freaked out when I showed them the message. I've also brought the incident up with them again several times, and nobody has admitted to doing it. None of these people have ever done similar pranks before or after this, to me or anyone else in my friend group. If it were one of them, it would be very out-of-character for them to do so.

I'm aware me stating “my friends would never prank me” isn't proof of anything, even though I know these people well, and trust them completely. I'm not asking people to treat that as evidence. I'm just explaining why I haven't personally been able to settle on that explanation.

It would nevertheless make technical sense if somebody watching the stream manually triggered a private bot they controlled to DM me once they saw the graffiti message.

Regardless, I left the call. I proceeded to changed the password for my discord and I also ran an anti-virus scan with both Malwarebytes and Windows Defender, I made sure they scanned my entire PC. Neither found anything. I also never noticed any other obvious indications afterward that my computer or Discord account had been compromised. Task Manager didn't show any suspicious processes, and my account had no strange or unfamiliar activity. 11 months have passed, and I haven't noticed anything else unsettling happen to me with my devices or social media.

It's important to note, my discord activity/status settings were also restricted prior to the stream. Game activity was disabled, and I had generally restrictive privacy settings. No accounts were linked to my profile.

Nothing else has happened since then, but I still found it incredibly strange. I'll share what I have found out and ruled out.

I have done some research on this and PRISM's application ID is 1404720725277020230 . This gave me the exact creation date of the account/app. It was created on 12 August 2025 at 06:58:39 UTC. Discord itself also shows the creation date as 12th August 2025.

The message ID for the cryptic message is 1444454617663541290

This gave me the exact message creation time as: 29 November 2025, 22:26:57.520 UTC. Since the UK was on GMT back then, that was the same time for my region.

So the message itself definitely existed and definitely arrived at 22:26 that night. The part I cannot independently prove yet is the exact second I reached the “HOLE” writing in the game. The near-immediate timing is from my memory of hearing the notification while I was looking at that area.

I have tried searching for:

• the bot name PRISM
• PRISM#7183
• the bot's numerical Discord ID
• the sentence “Hole sends his regards”
• other reports involving Silent Hill/PS2 emulation and Discord bots

I haven’t found anything similar to what happened to me here or anyone sharing a similar experience. Or anything public that gives more info about this bot account.

As far as I know, an ordinary Discord bot shouldn't simply be able to secretly watch the contents of a private Discord screen share that it isn't participating in. Knowing that I was playing Silent Hill 2 would be one thing. Knowing that I had reached one specific sentence in one specific room would be another.

So the possibilities I can think of are:

1. It was a massive coincidence
2. I had malware on my computer, and it could see what I was doing. It somehow did not show up in the scans.
3. There was some obscure exploit, integration or API behaviour going on that I'm not aware of. Maybe it was something in PCSX2 triggering it, or that specific file I was playing.
4. One of my friends watching my stream manually triggered the bot.
5. There's something else I am completely overlooking
6. I’m being stalked by someone. I have been stalked before, years ago though. (least likely explanation in my opinion)

I'm not claiming that I am being stalked or that something spooky is happening. I think a technical explanation is the most likely.

Overall, it's very strange to me. How could some random bot on discord that I have never interacted with before, know that I had just reached that specific part of the game in Silent Hill 2 and then DM me “Hole sends his regards”?

If anybody knows anything about Discord bots, old Discord API behaviour, PCSX2 integrations or malware that could produce something like this or just general knowledge on cybersecurity, please help me out. Or even ways that I could look into this further, I would greatly appreciate it.

I'm willing to answer any questions about this. It's just baffling.

EDIT: Tried opening the app and using it. It says that it has been flagged by discord's anti-spam system.

Hey so just to make this simple, yesterday at around 5 my family’s employees were in a car accident and the guy who hit them (grey Honda) drove away and they were only able to get a single live picture. I’ve tried all day to see if I can figure out the license plate number because it’s pretty blurry, but I have been unsuccessful. I was wondering if anyone could provide help in solving this. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice! Let me know if you need any other information. Attached is the live pic which I have made into a video.Hit and Run Grey Honda

Can anyone help make out what is said in the last 9 seconds of this voicemail? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/snjp1l52z6vaam5peju6n/Zzzzzzsz.m4a?rlkey=hd95asu0wiei4159cek0itqd4&st=6kvgl3bt&dl=0

Title is pretty self explanatory but, at midnight last night I kept hearing strange noises from my roof/ceiling. It sounded like an alarm and would go off for like 5-10 seconds before stopping and going off again. Each time it would get louder and louder but not at a noticeable volume. I asked my family but they did not hear anything and I think I might just be going crazy and hearing things. My ceiling/roof is also an attack for storage purposes and rodent traps so nothing there should be making any alarm noises aswell.

I filmed a video of it: It pretty much sounds like a phone buzzing combined with some type of beeping.

I was hit this morning. I'm fairly certain of the car, but I want to see what you all can come up with. Thanks

I will preface by saying that my best guess is this is a brushing scam in which I have been sent this book as a way to inflate somebody's sales numbers and to allow for fake customer reviews, probably on tiktok shop or similar.

I received this unsolicited book in the mail, carrier gofo, shipped from "Eric" at 5125 Schaefer Avenue in Chino california. I have so far determined that this is a large warehouse fulfillment center hosting many e-commerce suppliers. There is no business name and no sender information other than the first name "Eric."

The book is wrapped in typical plastic wrap. ISBN is 9781649890009, titled "The No-Go Zone: A Kid’s Guide to Spotting Hidden Dangers and Getting Out Fast," published in 2026 by East-West Publishing Group. It is indeed being sold on tiktok by different sellers.

This is literally the weirdest "children's" book I have ever encountered, and it's a little too on the nose which makes me even more suspicious. The book is instructing "children" how to recognize scams. This reads like something written for adults and poorly translated into English that would be better understood as crime prevention or sexual assault tips for adults.

Some of the sections: "Free gifts from strangers maybe a scam," "Creating a sense of urgency by citing a relatives condition to lure you in," "Unusually attentive confidant may have ulterior motives," "Even authoritative acquaintances may have hidden motives--stay vigilant," etc. The vocab is not appropriate for children clearly.

This may just be yet another shitty bizarre Chinese product packaged for sale without a lot of forethought to English-speaking countries via tiktok or temu. But the fact that I received this book as part of something that seems like it has to be a brushing scam makes me think there's something more here. Anybody able to tell me more about this book?

Sorry I haven't posted any photos, I apparently can't do that here but I think you should be able to find it based on the ISBN.

Hi, further to a recent post I made on here, I include an amateurish video I made yesterday on the 'known' geography, and few details that surround the finding of "Some Mother's Son"'s skeleton, in a field, in the South West of the UK in 1982. I think it's really a question of spreading the gentleman's story as far and as wide as possible, in the hope of finding a relative, a friend, or a shipmate, that might be missing him to this day. He has been unidentified since his discovery on 22nd January 1982.

I enclose my Appeal for the gentleman too:
