Sometimes, our minds play tricks on us, making us question things around us. While some mysteries in life can never be solved, we often try to make sense of them and end up jumping to the wrong conclusions. In this article, we’ve gathered strange and sometimes scary stories that made people think deeply.

The Story:
Dad lost his job at the bank when I was 13. We were so poor that sometimes I went to school without food. One day, on my way home, I saw Dad in a fancy red car with a blonde woman. The next day, I waited at the same spot and saw them again in the same car. I followed them and saw the woman hugging my dad. That night, I confronted him. He turned to me, and I saw tears in his eyes. He said, “Son, I’ve been working as a driving instructor to help our family.”

I asked why he and Mom didn’t tell me. She said they didn’t want to worry me. I knew Dad was already working two jobs, and his health was not great. They didn’t want me to stress even more. My parents were trying to protect me.
