There's a lack of good "true" scary stories on my favorite websites today. So, I figured why not make one on my most favorite website.
One of mine is kind of a cop-out as it's something that WAS unexplained that later I found a solution to. The second however...
First Story
Around ten years ago, I was surfing the internet late at night with my wife's (at the time fiance's) brother at the desk next to me, we were watching stupid videos on youtube. When out of the corner of my eye I see a can of soda move across the desk. I'm thinking, "nope nope nope" and just keep calm and carry on. BUT he asks me, "did that Coke can just move?" I told him that I wasn't going to say anything, but YES it did just move. We were both pretty freaked out.
Fast forward two years later. Middle of broad daylight (i.e., hardly scary) I had a Big Gulp sitting on the desk that had been there for a little while when I see a drip of condensation slide down to the bottom...the big gulp then moves an inch or two. Basically if I put a drink on a specific part of that desk there is a bit of an incline and if condensation gets under it and it will move an inch or two.
But for two years that moving can story was my go to "ghostly encounter" story.
Second Story
Back in high school I was visiting a friend whose younger brother used to bother him. He would always call down the hallway whenever he needed him. I was at his house one day (not the middle of the night or anything) chilling in his room (likely messing around with his brand new broadband connection, it was the late 90s) when we heard his brother yell his name from down the hall. My friend yells back, "what?" only to receive no reply. He then asks, "You heard my brother call me right?", to which I said, "yeah". He then went down the hall only to discover that no one was home. He then told me that as far as he knew his family left together a couple hours ago and weren't due back for a few hours more. We kind of looked around (more weirded out than scared, as this was a double-wide trailer and not a sprawling home) to see if his bro was messing with us, but no one was home. Eventually his family came home a few hours later without incident, and of course the first thing we do is tell his brother that we heard him call my friend's name. He thought we were messing with him, but to this day it's really the only 100% unexplained event in my life. I know that it wasn't my friend messing with me, as he wasn't the type to do that kind of stuff, and he never mentioned it being a prank or anything in the past 18 years or so. Was not necessarily "scary", but certainly something weird.
