Disappearing/Re-Appearing Keys, Disappearing Pen In 1991 I was working at home as a writer and needed more diskettes to copy my documents for my client. I always shopped at a Best Buy store off FM1960 in NW Houston. I knew the store well and parked my car in front of the store door. I walked in and went directly to the aisle with the diskettes, picked up a box and walked directly to the cashier's counter. I had been in the store about 20 seconds. After I paid for the diskettes I realized I had lost my car keys. Store clerks and I searched for the keys in the aisles and under things, and never found them, even though I had driven there with those keys so I knew I'd had them. The keys were not identifiable in any way; they were four keys on a plain metal key ring attached to a little leather snap so the key ring can snap into a SAS handbag. The key ring held two keys for my car, one for my house and one funny shaped copper key for my garage. I keep a spare set pinned inside my purse and used those to drive home. Over a year later the keys re-appeared in my mailbox. In about 1985 while at work in downtown Houston, my manager and I were alone in a small elevator talking about work stuff. He had a clipboard and he retrieved a pen from his breast pocket to write down what we were talking about. He dropped the pen. We both saw it fall, briefly hit the floor, and we both saw a quick flash of white light and the pen vanished. We looked at each other in shock saying "Did you see that?" We both had. The pen was GONE even though we searched the small elevator floor. He even checked the cuffs of his pants. I was wearing a suit and high heels, so the pen wasn't on me either. We didn't talk about it again. Patricia Houston, TX USA - Sunday, December 31, 2006 at 18:57:02 (PST)

Vanishing object. About 5 or 6 years ago, I picked up the habit of plucking my eyebrows. Just the middle part. My girlfriend at the time gave me a spare pair of tweezers she had. Ever since then, I would streamline my eyebrows every 4 or 5 days. This has always been my M.O. for said activity, TO THE LETTER. 1) Open drawer. 2) Take tweezers out. 3) Go to bathroom. 4) Pluck away. 5) Put tweezers back on drawer. I can't emphasize enough how systematic I've been about this. I have no other use for a pair of tweezers. I've never used them for anything else. Ever. Also, since I don't have a spare, I am careful enough to always place them at the same exact spot at the same exact drawer. So, I just came out of the shower, about to go out to dinner with someone, and I went to get my tweezers. Vanished. "Must have misplaced them..?" I said to myself, even though, like I said before, this is really, really unlikely. 0.01%. I took everything out of the drawer and searched to the last nook and cranny, then I searched the bathroom, behind the toilet, in the medicine cabinet, everywhere on the floor, in the kitchen. Everywhere. They're gone. I'm still waiting for them to materialize in front of my eyes or something, but they're not here. Also of note: there's absolutely no way anyone else has taken them. No one's been here since I last used them. I'm considering sleepwalking as a possible answer. Nick <doesitreallymatter at hotmaildot com> South America - Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 16:20:53 (PDT)

Years ago while I was remodeling my house a number of objects disappeared, which I generally put down to absent-mindedness on my part. But two missing-object events stand out as weird: I was soldering some copper pipe in a new bathroom, using a small water-soaked rag to quickly cool down each joint after I soldered it. At one point I reached for the rag and it was gone. Nobody else was around and I had soldered several joints since entering the room. I figured I had set it down somewhere near me. After a futile search I became determined to find the thing, so I pushed my tools and stuff up against one wall and methodically picked up each thing and moved it across the room, one by one. I move every single object in the room (which was very empty -- no cabinets yet, just a bare room with a toilet and my tools & supplies). The rag was absolutely no longer in that room, and it never reappeared. During this same project I got used to losing tape measures around the house. I had gone through 5 or 6 of them when at one point I spent about 20 minutes in a fruitless search that included a bathroom with a large white countertop. Returning from the hardware store with a new tape, I went into the same bathroom and there was the missing tape sitting right in the middle of the white countertop, with nothing else near it, absolutely impossible to miss. There have also been two generally mysterious events at our house: Power tool being turned on in a locked garage: We used to have a detached garage with no electrical power. I was using it as a workshop and had run an extension cord out there for power, which was plugged into the back porch light on our house. So to use power tools in the garage I had to turn on the porch light. One evening we got home at dusk after a day of errands, and I switched on the porch light. I heard a loud electric motor noise coming from the garage, so I quickly turned off the light and then went out to investigate with a flashlight. When I checked my various tools I found that a joiner had been switched on. This is a very loud power tool that I never step away from while it is running, even to pick up another piece of wood. I would absolutely not walk out of the garage, go to the house and turn off the power with that tool running. The power switch on the joiner itself lifts up with a distinct click that requires solid finger pressure. The switch is mounted between two metal protrusions that protect it from being bumped by accident. The garage had been locked with a padlock for at least 24 hours. Who or what got in there and switched on that tool? Ghostly voice: One evening I was lying on the floor playing with my infant daughter. We were alone in the house. I was lying on my side, she was sitting facing me. I noticed that she was looking past me and up, toward the stairway that went upstairs. She was staring at something and smiling, and her smile and expression kept changing as if she was watching something entertaining. She seemed very captivated and on the verge of laughter. I was about to roll over to see what she was looking at when I heard a distinct voice say, "Hi!" It sounded like the voice of a pleasant old lady, in exactly the tone you would use to say hi to a cute little baby. I quickly rolled over but there was nothing there. It gives me chills just typing this. Doug <doug, at the domain: geekazondot com> Seattle, WA USA - Wednesday, May 11, 2011 at 14:17:18 (PDT)

While in my room I was cleaning off my computer desk. I had set the mouse on the floor and finished the job. When I turned around the mouse was GONE. I have hardly any stuff here in my room AND despite knowing where I had set it I still searched the room in even the most bizarre places. I checked inside of all my pillows took off all 3 bed sheets I mean EVERYWHERE. I was almost to the point of complete shock and confusion when suddenly I took a step and had stepped on it exactly where it should have been and in plain sight. I stared at it in awe and almost wanted speak aloud as if to some unseen entity. I am an atheist and a very rational person. This is by far the strangest thing thats ever happened to me and will keep me wondering for a long time. This just happened about 10 minutes ago.

Hello, I have been experiencing the DOP phenomenon (Disappearance Object Phenomenon) for really a very, very long time and I have learned a lot from it. I also disclosed some information about it, as I believe it may help people who met with this phenomenon only for the first time and are in need. I published an article about it (see the link). One of thousands of such of my experiences is, for example, the disappearance of several packs of tea from my shelf. This made me believe that DOP is the Agartha issue. If you do not know, Agartha is the civilization in our Inner Earth. The Hale Crater on Mars is a proof of their existence: http://www.marsanomalyresearchdot com/evidence-reports/2005/084/hale-civ-evidence.htm (I at least believe so, you do not have to agree with me). When the packs of tea disappeared, only one pack of tea was left on my shelf - Lapacho from the Mato Grosso area (all other packs of tea were of the Oriental sort). Have you ever heard of Colonel Fawcett? His story is described here: http://www.rickrichardsdot com/ac/ac_1.htm Colonel Fawcett disappeared in Mato Grosso (Brazil). For me this (Lapacho) is a clear evidence that the Mato Grosso area is really mysterious. A very interesting, too, is the account of George White as he visited this underground Empire of Agartha: http://ufo.whipnet.org/xdocs/underground.empire/index6.html I hope this will make DOP a little bit clearer. Thank you and greetings from Europe. Posid is the name of the Atlantean city believed to exist under Brazil.

For a bout 6 months my fiance and I could not find the TV remote anywhere. We searched the whole house numerous times and in and behind the recliners and couch. A number of times previously we had misplaced it only to find it had slid into recliner. The time came for us to move house, surely in packing and shifting every last thing we own we would find it? Still nothing. We moved in without the TV remote and after having to completely pull the couch apart, move it and not finding it in there anywhere, we forgot all about it. About a month later my fiance and her sister we play fighting on the couch when the remote dropped on the floor as if it had been sitting on the arm of the couch the whole time!

My son who is 25 had something happen to him about a month ago that has driven him crazy since trying to figure out what exactly did happen. He was carrying a bike to his friends place so that he could replace a part on it. He decided to call his friend and let him know he would arrive soon. He set the bike down and pulled his cell phone out of his pocket, dialed the number and held the phone to his ear. The number rang through once, then twice and then seemed to cut off in the middle of the third ring through. He thought the party had answered and he said "Hello?" but there was silence. He said "Hello?" again and "You there?" He then removed the phone from his ear to look at it and see if the call had been dropped. When he looked at the phone, it was not there. He stared at his hand, dumbfounded. Somehow in the moment that he decided to look at the phone, remove it from his ear and bring it in front of his eyes, the thing had dissappeared. He looked at the ground, he looked in his jacket, he looked at the bike, the entire area surrounding him...but it was gone. Just gone. One moment the phone was ringing through to his friends home and the next the phone did not exist. He couldn't believe what had just happened. He went back inside where he had come from and explained what had happend and asked four friends to come outside with him and help him find it. It was light out so it wasn't hiding in darkness...they all came out and helped him, questioning him the entire time. Did he remember dialing the phone? Was he sure it was in his hand to begin with? was he on drugs? was it in his clothing? Was it somehow caught in the frame of the bike? He MUST have dropped it. He swears the phone was in his hand and he was gripping it as usual. The only thing strange was that the third ring through ended half way through as if the phone had been picked up or the call had been dropped. Everyone gave up but my son has never gotten over it. He has gone back to the area several times. There was no one around him when it happened. When they were all looking for the phone they used their own phones to dial my sons number so that it would ring. The battery was fully charged when he left with it but for some reason when they dialed his number, the calls went straight through to voice mail as if the phone had been turned off. He bought a new phone the next day but the case of his disappearing cell phone has been on his mind since it happened. I believe him one hundred percent how he says that it happened. His father thinks he dropped it and just couldn't find it. His friends, whom I've talked with about it swear up and down that the area was impossible to have lost anything in. No hidden holes or clumps of bush or crevices to drop into, nothing. It disappeared. My son wonders...how did it move from his hand? Why didn't he feel it dissappear? His hand was still "holding" the phone when he brought it around to look at it!!! Most of all he wonders though, WHERE IN THE &%$#(* DID IT GO?!

So today is the new year, January 1, 2011. Me and my boyfriend and our almost 6 month old son went to my moms house for a new years party and left a little before one in the morning, let me note that I do not drink and neither does my boyfriend, we're 19 and don't like it anyway. When we got home it was around 1 am. We walked in and placed everything down, the bags I had, and he put the baby in his carseat down on the floor, pulled out his cell phone and texted his brother, I knew he had his phone and he knew it because I asked who he was texting (his bro). He then threw his phone onto our little "bed" made of blankets on the floor of our living room we've been using since christmas eve. He went to the bathroom and I took the baby out of his car seat and went to his room to put him to bed. My boyfriend then came out of the bathroom, walked by the living room and saw his phone still on the blankets where he tossed it and came into the babys room to kiss him goodnight. We walked out and went to the living room where he sat down and noticed his phone was mysteriously missing. We looked everywhere until I finally had to say we needed to go to sleep. We would look for it in the morning. When we woke up we searched everywhere, we tore apart the bed, we lifted up the couch, we looked in and under the heater, we looked through everything possible in the living room, then we looked in the kitchen, the babies room, our bed room, and the bathroom, I even looked out of the bathroom window because he closed it when he went in there when we got home, i even made him go outside and look around the ground to see if maybe it had flown off of the roof (quite impossible but at this point we were desperate to find it) Finally at about 1 in the afternoon i told him that we just need to take a break from looking and that it will show up, and that we cannot afford to buy a new phone. Its now about 330 and we have yet to find it. I'm really hoping it turns up soon! I don't know what else to do.

I was in my room one night cleaning it up, getting ready for bed. My step-brother, whom I share a room with, was with me and he was also getting ready for bed. I have a dresser next my bed with a T.V. on it, and two pictures in frames on that; one of a band I am in, and the other of me and my dog. I must have bumped the picture of me and my dog because it fell, but did NOT hit the floor. Instead, my step-brother and I searched for 15 minutes trying to find it. We looked in our closet, under our beds, in the dresser, under the dresser, and we could NOT find it. This was two weeks ago. Tonight I went to practice my violin. I opened my case and my shoulder rest had vanished. I always put it back when I am done using it, and remember doing so the last time I practiced. I also noticed that my two page solo I had been practicing was missing. I spent an hour searching in vain for these two objects and could not find them. I have been home alone with my parents for the last week; all of my siblings are out of town. The picture remains missing. J-42 WI USA - Tuesday, December 28, 2010 at 18:55:51 (PST)

December 1,2010 I'm the type of person who people might believe to have OCD disorder, not on everything, but most things. On this particular day, last week, it was going to be stormy so I knew I needed to get my errands done before hand, to be home for the storm. I finished just before dark, as the storm was starting to pick up. Backed the van into the driveway as usual, & made sure the lights, wipers, heat and radio were off, before turning the van off. With keys now in hand, I undid my seat belt and reached over the passengers side to get my bags. Before getting out of the van, I glanced over at the passengers window and noticed the storm might blow over my holiday decorations, & thought I should secure them. I proceeded to get out of the van, and locked it manually from the drivers side door. Walked in front of the van, and up the walkway with keys and bags still in hand and secured the decorations. Satisfied, I headed up the deck stairs only to notice there was an unexpected package waiting on the top of the railing. I picked it up with everything else I was holding, and went in for the night. The next day, after putting my child on the bus, I went to go out and couldn't find my keys. This is so not like me, and I could have sworn that I put them on the table along with everything else. I dumped out my bag several times and retraced my steps, but nothing. I decided to check the van, which was locked, and my husband has his set of keys with him, I couldn't search inside, but had to be certain they must be in a place I can't see inside the van? I searched all around the yard as well, and when he finally got home, I ran outside sure they must be in the van, but the weren't. I was very sad for the next two days because all my keys to everything were on that ring. Finally, on Saturday, I got new keys made and given up the search, thinking they must have blown away? Life goes on and if they turn up, they do? Well, Sunday morning I receive a call from my husband telling me that he found my keys. Only he found them at his work, which is an hour away from where I had them, and hanging on the visor of a company truck, which he didn't even know he'd be taking that day. I dropped the phone and was going to be sick. I've never been to his employment ever and he swears he isn't playing any tricks on me. I'm so freaked out! irishrose derry, nh USA - Tuesday, December 07, 2010 at 09:41:30 (PST)

I have experienced things missing and appearing for years... generally chaclked it up to me just not seeing what was in front of my face. Until... ... I have a saying... me and my keys are like a fool and his money... very easily parted. I generally went through car keys like kids through ice cream. I typically got about six cut at a time and then when I was on the last one, had them recut. Again... just me. Then, about 10 years or so ago, I lost my main set... car keys, house keys, everything. I searched everywhere... ripped apart my room, my house, checked my drawers... everything. Finally, I gave up and used my spare car keys... and didn't lock my house. I used that spare set for months. Then, one night, my kids were at the lake for the weekend, and I arrived home in the wee hours of the mourning from work. I took my contacts out, placed them in the case, and went to sleep. Morning came, I went to put my contacts in, and, lying on top of my contact case... literally... I would have had to pick them up and place them on top of my contact case, were my missing main set of keys. I've never been able to explain that... but I did tell a coworker about it today... and she described a similar event that happened to her... except in her story she and her husband were actively looking for her keys and she was leaving the living room... then suddenly turned around to grab something, saw a flash of light and saw her keys materialize in the air and fall to the ground in the middle of the living room. angella Edmonton, AB Canada - Thursday, September 16, 2010 at 16:25:11 (PDT)

I noticed my portable house phone wasn't in it's charger, and I proceeded to look for it to put it back on there because it loses a charge quickly. After 20 minutes of looking for it, I stopped and stood in the middle of my kitchen completely bewildered. I turned around and the phone was back on the charger. I literally gasped. It's July, 80 degrees, and I didn't have the AC on, but I suddenly became very chilled and started shivering. I was so cold, I had to leave the house and go outside. I was home alone because my husband was several hundred miles away attending the funeral of a close friend of his who passed away several days before. I couldn't go to the funeral because of other obligations. My husband was one of the pallbearers and was preparing to move the coffin from the funeral home to the hearse right around the time my phone vanished from it's charger and suddenly reappeared.

Dissapearing fly swatter One night I sat on my sofa, on the left side of it, but being a two cushion seating area anyone who sat on the right side would make the cusion sink. That is what I felt and observed, and I even placed my hand on the indent on the cusion and felt it. I just thought how wierd and blew the whole thing off as just strange, however I did mention it to my fiance after. The next day we were talking about going for a drive, as we talked my fiance playfully picked up a fly swatter and lightly swatted me which playfully turnned into a game. As I tried to take it from her hand, she said oh no! and tossed it over the back of our sofa, the same sofa. We then decided to leave to drive to my sons house, but before leaving I went to pick up the fly swatter, which wouldve or shouldve been on the kitchen floor. Its been three days since that happened, and the very very bright orange two foot long swatter has not been spotted. As a matter of fact, we never even remember it making a sound of landing on the lanolium floor, which we shouldve heard. We have looked for it, even removing the range and moving the fridge. Its like it vanished into another world, and I wonder what the person who finds it will think when they find it.

My husband and his grandson traveled through Elizabethton, TN, 2 days ago, and upon passing the spot where a train engine and caboose sit under a shed as a monument, they noticed that the train/caboose and the shed were NOT THERE, but upon the return trip 7 hours later, the train/caboose/shed were in fact there once again. There are no train tracks for the train to be moved on and if the train had been moved by some means it would be a major undertaking which would take several hours to do and there would have to be some evidence of the move. Both my husband and grandson are still completely mystified as to how they both experienced this together and we are all at a loss to explain this weird event.

On my way to work, I vaguely remember putting my reading glasses in my purse. When I got to work I looked in my purse and my glasses were not there. I was not surprised that my glasses were not in my purse because I was in a hurry when I left out to go to work. I thought "maybe I left them on the table at my home." I need my glasses to read so I decided to search my purse again just in case I overlooked my glasses. This time I did a thorough search. I took everything that was inside of my purse out and I also looked inside of all of the pockets that are attached. I am telling you the truth,my glasses were not in my purse. I even have a co-worker who can bear witnessed that I emptied my pocketbook and my glasses were not inside. Again, I figured that I just left the glasses home and I said to myself, when I get home the first thing that I am going to do is look for my glasses. When I opened my door to enter my home, I went inside of my purse to put my keys inside and the first thing that i touched was my eye glasses. Where did my glasses come from.....

I'm a first year student at The University of Portsmouth in the UK. I share a house with 4 other people. We each have a day in which we wash and dry up all the dishes. It was late one monday night and all my house mates had eaten dinner and gone out. I was left with all the washing up as it was my turn to wash the dishes. I was half way through when i really needed to use the toilet so i washed up one last tray, dried my hands and left the kitchen to use the toilet. When i returned the tray i had just finished washing up was gone. I noticed it had gone straight away because it was kind of a big tray and i put it on the side next too the kettle. i searched all over the kitchen and it was no where to be found. I continued to to wash up the remaining plates and then dried everything and put them away. The next day i asked my house mates if any of them came back without me noticing and possibly moved it but none of them did. I checked if it was possible to fall behind something or some where unvisible but it was not possible. The scary thing is myself or my other house mates have not seen the tray since. We could not confuse it with another as we only had one and it was really distinct. I haven't ruled out any normal explinations like my mind playing tricks on me but it's strange how 5 peoples mind plays the same trick. Disapearing Object Phenomenom seems the best explination.

So, this is a disappearing object type thing. One night, my boyfriend and I were planning to go see a movie. He was running a little late, so when he got to my house to pick me up, I already had my jacket on, and met him at the door. Since I hate being late, I didn't even stop to give him a kiss, just went straight to his car. On the way to the movie, he went to get his cellphone out of his pocket to show me something a friend had texted him, and realized it wasn't there. We both just assumed he had left it at home, and went back to what we had been talking about. We went and saw the movie, had a great time. On the way back, I reached into my back pocket to get my cell phone (all I had brought with me), and instead found his. We hadnt even touched before the phone went missing, and neither of us could figure out how it had gotten there. I never felt anyone or anything touch me, and it's not like I left something somewhere and forgot it. The phone somehow ended up in my pocket without me having ever touched it, and without anyone else touching me.

HERE IS THE STORY OF ALL STORIES: I am ex military of 9 years ( Navy )I have been married for 11 years and been with my wife for 16 years. I have read stories of strange events, but those events don't come close to the events my wife, children, and I have had. They have become so intense, that they are now a normal part of our existence. This is one story you may find difficult to believe. But this story, ( event ) DID happen...one out of 12 events in 16 years. We were living in Las Vegas in 2009 just off of Las Vegas Blvd and Lamb road. My children were attending a local school not far from our home we were renting at the time. My son was sick and we needed to go to his school to get his homework so he would not fall behind in his classes. I opted to stay in the truck while my wife and my son went inside the school to retrieve his homework. The time was around 9:15 A.M. and this event would only take place in the matter of minutes, To retrieve his homework that is. Everything was quiet and it was warm outside. My window was rolled down as I listened to some country music and had a cigerette. I was watching very carefully for my wife and son to come out the school door and head to the truck. After about 20 minutes, I saw them exit the school office and cross the street ahead of me about 50 yards. I lost sight of them as they passed in front of a vehicle that was parked about 6 cars in front of my truck. I waited for about 3 minutes when I noticed I didn't see them on the sidewalk or anywhere. They knew where I was parked and saw the truck parked there, because they waved to me as they exited the school three minutes before. after about 5 minutes I began to worry, so I decided to pull out of the parking space I was in and drive forward to see if I could find them. Suddenly there they were standing on the sidewalk. I assumed they were waiting for me, and it was my fault they did not head for the truck, I felt pretty bad. They opened the doors to the truck and got in. I pulled away talking to my wife Kay as my son zack sat in the back seat quiet. NOW..what I about to explain next is almost unbelievable to those who have not gone through what i am to tell you. I asked my wife what had took her so long to walk to the truck, which she never did, but SHE DID. let me explain this. She explained to me that she walked to where the truck was parked and Zack and her saw me driving down a side street and had left them behind. I came back with " Wait a minute, I didn't go anywhere! I saw you cross the street with Zack and then nothing...you didn't show up. so, I decided to drive forward to see if I could find you and there you were." She came back with this statement and so did my son. check this out. " Uh, ...honey!..you were NOT there, Zack even stood in the parking space and waved his arms around making sure you were gone. we both saw you drive off down the road." To this day I have researched this phenomina, I think I spelled that wrong..sorry. Anyway, we were so used to having STRANGE events happen to us that It was and is a part of my life to find out what the HELL is going on. This is only 1 event. we have had missing time, we have seen thing you wouldn't believe, and we have had extra dimensional crap happen to us. NOW, we don't drink, we don't do drugs, BUT, we are very aware of what is around us all the time, we pay close attention to details and events and conversations. The only thing I can come up with is this: Somehow, someway, my wife and son SHIFTED to an alternate reality and stayed there long enough to see another me drive off. then, they walked back up the road and re entered our reality Now, If anyone has had anything like this happen to them or close to it, PLEASE e mail me so I know I not alone in this. Do yourself a favor, pay close attention to everything around you. watch the time, events, conversations and other things as well. You may find out that this world that we believe is stable, is not so stable and explainable.

It just happened to me and Im seriously confused. i was walking back home from having lunch with a friend. on my way back I was texting with another friend of mine. I placed my phone in my pocket waiting for his reply and 10 meters later wanted to retreat my phone and make a call. the phone was gone. i began checking in every pocket and in my bag but there was no nowhere in sight. i asked for a borrowed phone and dialed mine. it ran several times and then someone answered. i could hear the road both through the phone and because i was there. i hurried to a friend's house and went back to the place to look for my phone w her. we tried calling several times and the only thing we could hear was a tv and people talking. i lost my phone but its not the first time things just disappear from me. it also happened w my wallet. i could've swear it was in my purse but when i doubled checked it was gone. w no sings that it could've been stollen Marce Romero USA - Friday, December 18, 2009 at 14:31:17 (PST)

09/04/09 The wedding ring: Today I had a strange thing happen where my wedding band disappeared and reappeared on my hand. I dumbfounded me and my reasoning fails to explain this phenomena. I had my wedding ring on this morning when I woke; I never take it off unless I wash my hand or shower. After my morning shower I did put it back on. At 11:45am this morning I had a chiropractic appointment, when I was there I used a hand sanitizer that was on the receptionist's desk, I took the ring off setting it on the counter and rubbed the sanitizer in hands. I then put the ring back on. After the chiropractor, my wife had a 1pm salon appointment to get her hair done. Setting in the salon waiting until she was done i read a magazine, as I was reading the magazine I glanced at my hand as I turned the pages and not only noticed the ring was gone, I could now feel the absence of the ring from my finger. After her hear appointment we then went shopping at the mall, I did not have the ring on the entire time, and kept wondering what had happened to it. it wears snug and won't just slip off. After the mall and all that running about getting food and rental DVD's we returned home. Here's the crazing and comical part, I was in the rest room setting on the toilet and just as mysteriously as the ring had vanished it reappeared. I felt the presents of the ring on my finger and looked at my hand and there it was as if it was there all along. I cannot explain it was there then it wasn't. Then it returned like magic.

Theorys of others about dimensions and things disappearing makes me wonder if maybe there may be something to it. I'm 55 and all my life i heard stories of all kinds of strange things that occur but never experienced anything impossible. I was open minded to these stories though. In 2008 my wife and me went to Walmart in Miami Ok. It was 12:30 am. We like them hours to avoid the crowd. My wife shopped for shampoo etc. while I shopped for food. Tooked a cart and picked up around 200 dollars worth of hamburger, milk,orange juice etc. Being 12:30 am there was hardly nobody in the store. Walking east at the southend of the bread isle I stopped and let go of my cart and walked away from my cart no more then 4 ft. and grabbed two loaves of bread and turned toward my cart and there was No Cart. From the time I turned away from the cart and turned back,no more than 4 seconds occured. With a smile on my face I knew my wife or somebody was playing a trick on me. At a fast pace I ran immediatly toward the next three isles then back north at the other three isles. Nobody was around. I continued walking with my two loaves of bread thinking I will find the joker soon. I walked and walked and walked, finally found myself walking the entire store looking for my cart and my wife. I walked the entire store 3 or 4 times. While I was walking I looked at the workers that were there at their expressions to see if anybody knew what was going on. But no one looked at me funny. While I was walking fear was setting in. theorys were on my mind, trying to find a logical explanation etc. I was thinking, Is this what death is,I died of a heart attack and went to another realm. I can't find my wife, If I go out where my car is will my wife and car be gone? Crazy things pop into your head when something unexplained occures. I went to my car and I never thought I would be so glad to see my wife like I did that night. My wife said "what took you so long?" I sat in the car telling her my experience. She wanted me to go see the manager but I felt a fear in going back in there. So she went in and walked around and asked questions etc. I watched from the front door. At the first checker I could see that they may have called the manager so I came in told and showed the location of the ordeal to the manager.also the items in cart. He said he would look around for me after I gave him my phone number. Wouldn't it be something that a year later the manager gives me a call saying "I found your cart but the reason I'm calling you is the dates of the milk and orange juice is over a year old" When I meet my maker the first thing I will ask is WHERE IS MY GROCERY CART? mark doser <chubbyfeller53 at yahoodot com> seneca, mo USA - Monday, August 17, 2009 at 02:15:17 (PDT)

I have problems with missing, reappearing and changing items all of the time. You would think that I would get used to it but I don't. I have always kept close track of my possessions, so when I lose something, I don't deal with it well. Sometimes I think I'm losing my mind unless I have a witness. My family refers to it as having a hole in the house. There are many times that an object will disappear and never return and other times that they reappear exactly where I lost them. Once I dropped a hair brush on the floor and it vanished before it ever hit the floor, right before my eyes. Everyone in my family witnessed the disappearance. We searched everywhere to no avail. A week later it was back in the same spot. Recently, though, an event took place that is much larger than most of my experiences. A few years ago my eldest son bought a home. Upon our first visit, we commented that it was interesting that he had a mantle in his living room but no fireplace, just a blank space marked with tile. The house had a place for a chimney but didn't have one. This past winter when I went to visit my son, I was shocked to see that he had a regular fireplace with evidence that he had been burning wood. I went around to the side of the house outside and saw where the chimney was. I commented to my family a question, "I thought he didn't have a fireplace." The answer I got was, "He has always had a fireplace." I called up my other son whom has shared many of these experiences with me and asked him, "Does your brother have a fireplace?" He answered "No., remember? we laughed at how he had a mantle but no fireplace?" I told him that he does now and has always had one. To put it mildly, we are both stunned by the thought. What really concerns me is that the frequency of these events is escalating and I somehow feel that I'm responsible. I'm teetering on the edge of sanity because of this. Things change so frequently these days that I don't give it much thought unless it is expensive to replace, then I hate it. One other post about Trees and doors suddenly appearing...that happens to me all the time now...even buildings with appear and disappear or events and memories. I'll remember clearly having never done something and people will comment on the contrary... So...is there an explanation for this that makes sense? Are we mearly slipping between alternate dimensions? Is there a way to control it? Kevin Henson <$ at %$%$kevinhenson at austin.rrdot com> Austin, Tx USA - Monday, June 01, 2009 at 09:19:13 (PDT)

no submission to report, I'm just wondering if there are any theories on why no one seems to find any reappearing objects that aren't theirs? I have dropped small items, searched thoroughly, and had them turn up months later exactly where they should have been, eluding vacuum cleaners, bare feet, and cats. it seems like if there were some (bizarre) reason for this, that we'd also find things we DIDN'T drop. the neighbor's lost earring, for example. I was wondering if anyone has posed any theories on why we only find our own things? BTW, I love your captcha! so much easier to read than the usual.

When I was a young child about 5 or 6 I was downstairs in my basement alone playing with my change. At one point I was holding a penny in my hand and trying to be cool I said some crazy words to make it disappear. To my surprise I opened up my hand and it was gone. I searched everywhere in my basement for that penny and could not find anything. There was no way I could have dropped it I remember clenching my hand. I even tried making it reappear saying stupid words again. No one believed me when I told them, and to this day I am still baffled.

In the late 70s I lived in a very small house. I was alone in the house soaking my aching back in a hot tub of water. I had been there about 30 minutes when i heard a noise of something that had hit the floor and was rolling down the hallway toward the bathroom.. Its just a short distance from the bedroom to the bath down this hallway.. but i had time to sit up and lean on the left side of the bathtub curiously wondering what this noise was.. I saw a coin come rolling from the hallway and make the turn into the bathroom and up near the bathtub. I reached out and picked up this coin and it was a silver 1940 mercury head dime. I thought well i left my pants draped over the bed and the coin fell out of my pants.. When i got up to look matters over i had put my pants flatly on the bed and i had no coins ( especially no silver coins ) in the house at all. Some people said that a passing truck vibrated it off of my dresser or something similar but this was a country house away from traffic and no such thing had served to disturb a coin off of a table. I still get goose bumps when i think about it! Bob Hammer <mojaveratt at aoldot com > grand jct, co USA - Saturday, May 02, 2009 at 19:24:34 (PDT)

When I was a small boy of somewhere from four to six years of age I was in the habit of taking toys to bed with me. At some point in time they started to disappear one by one, night after night. After a few weeks I became concerned. I could not find any of the toys no matter how much I searched. Finally, I awoke one night and saw a pure black hand emanating from my mattress grabbing one of the few toys left -- my favorite toy -- a green plastic toy gun. I quickly grabbed the other side of the toy gun with one of my hands and a tug of war ensued. The black hand was stronger and my toy was going towards the bed. I put my other hand on the toy gun and finally mustered greater strength than the black hand. At this point I was sitting up and had been trying to scream to get my parents to come help, but my voice was frozen. Finally after starting to win the 'tug of war' my voice unfroze and I released a scream. At this, the black hand quickly let go and disappeared into the bed.

Ok so I'm the type of person that loves watching ghost hunters, reading about paranormal things and such...however I rarely believe in it myself.. I just always try to find logical explanations for EVERYHING lol I came across this site by accident but found it quite interesting However, I've encountered my share of quite UNEXPLAINABLE things. 1)not too long ago, id say a month or so ago i was wearing a clear hair clip in my hair.i have sensitive scalp so i would remove it from time to time and would either pocket it [in my hoodie]or leave it in my room or on the dining room table. I was sitting in my living room watching tv sitting on the couch with my whole body on a cushion and a half [hope that makes sense] anyway i got tired of the way my hair was on the back of my neck so i decided to clip my hair up again..i searched for it in my pocket because i was playing with it in my hands throughout the time i watched tv BUT it wasnt there i looked around ont he couch thinking i probably set it down or dropped it on the floor or crushed in inbetween the cushions but nothing. I didn't think much of it then, so i got up and looked for it in my room. again NOTHING i stated to get annoyed after looking in the dining room and even the bathrooom sheles because sometimes i tend to misplace things even when i think im not distracted. I finally gave up and decided to get a hair tie. When I went back to the couch and continue my tv show the clip was RIGHT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CUSHION I WAS PREVIOUSLY SITTING ON. Ok i know ppl are gonna be like "well you did say it was a clear clip, maybe you just didnt see it" which i totally understand i thought about that too only that i flippedover all the chushions and felt around the couch several times! And I couldn't have sat on it cause I surely would've FELT it or simply crushed it. Its plastic and those things snap esily.IDK wat that was...btw i was the only one awake at the time it was close to midnight maybe 2)Just yesterday i was in my room getting a mirror for my mom...now I have a n entertainment center type shelf thing that i use for books and shoes lol i also keep a valentines day bear on a separate shelf that I got from my boyfriend last Valentines'. I took it off my bed or anywhere the kids can grab it for the sake of keeping it clean and so they wont press the hand [where it says"press"] to keep the song from going off cause i can't lie its annoying! lol but watever...So i go and grab this mirrorfrom a lower shelf and as im turning to leave my room the bear goes of...the song comes on clear as day i ran out and asked my mom if she heard it too...she was like "yeah, what about it" and i told her I didn't touch the thing! She was like wtf? lets see it. I went near it with my mom and tapped it with an empty curling iron box and nothing...i did it again and it went off. So i assumed that it had some bad wiring or something, but tht still doesnt explain why it went off the 1st time. But heres the even weirder part. I grab the bear and start hugging it, squeezing it, and even tossing it around to see it it would do it again due to the bad wiring,but NOTHING! no matter how hard i tried I HAD to press the hand for it to happen.[we were the only ones in the house btw] 3) i have a really weird one that involves a different mirror but its quite difficult to explain, however it also occured in my room [can you say hot spot? a lot of weird stuff goes on in there i cant explan it] the point is a mirror was "pushed" and knocked off a bunch of stuff i had sitting on top of my tv [its quite big so i keep hairspray bottles body mist, and just random hair products and make up]Its quite neat actually despite the way it sounds...there is no way it could've happened withought an actual push cause i was sitting on my bed. My mom was the only other person in the house at the time and she was in the kitchen...nothing else on the tv moved so no sudden movents on the floor caused this. 4) This happened during the time i was reading the many stories on this site. No nothing disappeared as i ate it lol but I did start to hear a tapping sound that sounded quite unfamiliar....i know "wohoa big deal" no but seriously..it was shortly after reading the story about someone tapping on a girls window as she slept...creepy. So the thing was I just blew it off at first thinking OMG im DELUSIONAL. But it got louder and more consistant i got scared so i said out loud "please stop.." and it did. I continues reading and a few min later it happened again as if testing me, not as loud this time but consistent...i asked it to stop againa nd it did but now its f&^k!ng with my cell phone and im scared as S#!%...Someone help lol im serious im freaked out.

One night, I went out to a restaurant to eat with a friend and so we drove over there in my car. However, after we had finished dining, we went out to the car only to discover it was gone. Naturally, we thought it simply got stolen. There were lots of people around, but no one noticed anything. So I said good night to my friend and went home after reporting my car stolen. The next morning, when I went to my garage to drive my SUV to work, the missing car was in it's place - NO SUV! This was very odd, I was so confused I forgot to report this to police. Then, when I drove past the place where the car was supposed to be parked the night before, the missing SUV was parked there instead! Weird...

My wife borrowed my keys because she couldn't find them for just under two weeks, while she had searched her purse looking for them several times they suddenly appeared laying outside of and on top of her purse just under two weeks of being missing. That wasn't so weird I am sure it happens to people all the time. What is weird was we normally sleep with two head pillows and a leg pillow each for a total of 6 pillows. When we removed the pillow cases and sheets and washed them and dried them and went back to make the bed there were two pillow cases left over because there were only four pillows. We asked the spirits to bring the other two pillows back but are still waiting. Also have had things fall of of shelves that we couldn't account for and door knobs rattle in this house. also a pearing knife vanished and have searched high and low. I have heard of socks go missing but pillows and two of them !!! There isn't a place for them to hide!

I just bought a lottery ticket at a gas station in Holland, Michigan and I put the ticket in my shirt pocket. I then decided to put it in the glove compartment of my car, a Ford Taurus. About a minute later, or less, I checked on it to be sure of where it was and to lay it flat in the compartment and it was not there. Two days later I checked the winning numbers and recognized that a couple matched. I then checked the lottery website. I was glad that no one matched all six because I did not want to lose six million dollars from this. But there is no explanation for where the ticket went.

First one of the 3 diamonds in my ring was missing. Then about a month later the whole ring went missing from my ensuite. I searched the room & the adjoining bedroom, without finding it. I hoped, when I moved house, I would find it, but I didn't. 10 months later at my new address, it was late morning when I walked into the kitchen and there it was, in the middle of my kitchen floor, and with all its 3 diamonds as well! Over the years I've had several personal objects disappear and later reappear, but the ring episode is the most amasing. It only happns to me, not my partner. I'd googled the subject before I lost my ring and tried the advice to ask for things out loud to be returned. It doesn't work for me. I read one person's story which said it took 10 years for a watch to reappear on their bedside table. I'm in my 50ies and this only started about 8 years ago. During this time I've had my computer turn on while I was dusting it, the doorbell rang playing the tune it wasn't set at and no-one was there. It rang at 3a.m. once, no- one there. My 2 fridges have been turned up flat out, partially freezing the food, a loud bang in the kitchen heard from the bedroom. The weirdest thing was an unearthly noise from under our bed one night, when we were standing in the bedroom. It sounded like a sick wailing cat. The noise moved into the wall behind the bed, then the wall under the window. Heather Murrin Australia - Sunday, July 06, 2008 at 07:19:53 (PDT)

Back in 1998 my 92 year old father died, he had a chest of drawers that had had the pull handle missing on the top right hand drawer, (all my life that I remember, (some 50 years)). I looked through the contents of the drawer to see if the parts were there as my daughter wanted to take possion of it ,to remember her grandfather. While cleaning the contents of the drawers I found two of the parts (post that were held by screws), but didn't find the pull handle itself. When my daughter came to pick it up the handle was on and secure, neither of my sisters claimed to have put it on and we were all baffled. After bringing it home and putting it in my daughters room the handle rattled by itself in the middle of the night for one week and has been quiet for the past 10 years. I would like to think that he wanted to let us know he is OK, dead but OK. Dave David Spiller <ae4j at yahoodot com> Ft. Lauderdale, Fl USA - Sunday, July 06, 2008 at 07:11:57 (PDT)

This happened back in the 70's when I was attending college in Allentown PA. One evening I went over to the dorm that had a soda machine (it was a small college and only one of the men's dorms had a machine)to get a drink. As I enterd the room that the machine was in I reached in my pocket to get the change I needed and found that I was short a quarter. I was disapointed that I didn't have enough change and said to myself "man and I really wanted a soda too" I did not say this out loud. As I was standing there I caught some movement from the corner of my eye and I looked up in time to see something falling straight down to the floor. I looked up quickly enough to see that it had fallen straight down without any apparent trajectory and that when I first looked up it was fairly near the ceiling. It was at least even with my head when I first focused on it and I am six feet tall. The room had an eight foot ceiling. I walked over and picked it up and it was a quarter! I looked down the hall that branched from the room and there was nobody there and all the doors were closed. I had heard no sounds other than the coin hitting the floor and there were no holes in the ceiling either. I used the quarter to get a soda but I never could figure out where it came from unless it was a gift from heaven or someone upstairs had dropped it and it went right down through the floor to my level or something. Anybody else ever have something like this happen? Denis <n8542j at yahoo dot com> Denver, co USA - Tuesday, June 24, 2008 at 11:58:09 (PDT)

belongs in VANISHING OBJECTS For the past 20 years or so, I have had objects dissapear and NEVER return. They are always objects that I have not taken outside of my home (wherever I happen to live at the time) and they are frequently objects I saw/had/used only minutes or hours before their dissapearance. They cannot be attributed to another person being or living with me at the time. The earliest I remember is a light blue Champion sweatshirt given to me as a gift. I set it at the foot of the bed still in the box it was given to me in, while getting ready for work. I returned from work that day and the box remained, but the sweatshirt was gone. I looked for DAYS for this sweatshirt, and often wondered if the landlord had taken it because I could find no other explanation - despite the fact that we (my husband and myself) had recently changed the locks and had yet to give him the key. My husband and I worked together, over an hour away from home, and we drove to and from work together and I knew he hadn't done anything with it. It was never found. A year or so later, a different home, and I set a gold celtic cross necklace my husband given me on the ledge in the kitchen to color & rinse my hair in the sink. I distinctly remember putting it there. No one else was home that day. After finishing my hair, I went back for it, it was gone. I looked on both sides of the ledge, I looked everywhere for weeks, never found again. I was given by my father a pearl ring that had belonged to my mother before she passed when I was a child. I always cherished this ring and kept it in my jewelry box. One day when going to get it, it was gone. Ok, so someone (maybe a new landlord at this place) stole it, just didn't steal anything else I had with it or more valuable. Never recovered. I had a silver watch I had bought and adored, black face, roman numerals - not particularly expensive but I was picky about the watches I bought and hadn't found another like it before or since. I placed it on my end table when getting ready for work, making a mental note to grab it on my way out the door as I was running late. No one was home with me on this day. Five minutes later, I went back for the watch on my way out - it wasn't there. Thinking maybe it feel underneath or beside the table, I moved furniture and searched as much as I could then and when I got home. Never found the watch, never recovered. I had a black crochet tank top and jacket I bought and kept in the closet (different home) and was waiting for the opportunity to wear them. I passed it by every day when looking through my clothes and getting ready for work. It was there one morning, the next, not there. The jacket was, not the tank top. I don't think it was my boyfriend at the time. I never found it again. These are just a *few* examples I can recall off the top of my head. I made a list one day, of all the objects I still miss but never found - none very valuable, but all small personal objects of mostly clothing or jewelry. These are small and seemingly meaningless incidents to most I am sure, but this pattern repeats so many more times and they are too numerous to count. Like most, I don't have a perfect memory, no, but these are occasions when I specifically remember placing something somewhere only to have whatever it is disappear and not temporarily - but permanently. And not while out with it, but always within my home, always an object which never left the house. Strangely enough, they are almost always objects I treasure, for either sentimental or other reasons, regardless of any lack of monetary value. It happens more often now, and I guess I would be able to chalk it up to being absent-minded if the objects reappeared, but they *never* do.. I am amazed to find this exists for others and to find this board - very strange. I really wish I knew the answer.. I have theories, yes, but for fear of embarrassing myself I don't share them. And there is only one or two people I have ever shared this with personally in my lifetime. Out of Answers <no> SC USA - Saturday, March 08, 2008 at 11:21:20 (PST)

This is kinda a missing object thing, in a sense they were teleported... a couple of weeks ago, when i was working the cash at where i work, a customer came in and asked for some chapstick. i asked her what kind, original or cherry. she asked for cherry. when i went to get it, ALL the cherry ones were hanging BEHIND the original ones on the hook... so i took the lazy way out and broke the punched hole that it uses to hang on the hook (instead of taking off the originals and getting a cherry then putting back on the originals). so i sold it to her, she left and then when i went back to rent a customer a movie, 3 of the cherry ones were put on the hook IN FRONT of the originals. i never moved the originals off the hook, nor did i move any of the cherries in front of them. neither did anyone else because there's not enough room behind the counter for someone to go unnoticed and because the other person i was working with was out pumping gas.

Disappear.....waiting for it to appear My boyfriend and I moved into a new apartment about 4 months ago. Last week, I was getting ready to do laundry. I gathered up my clothes, grabbed my detergent, and started a load. When it was time to put the clothes in the dryer, I went upstairs to grab my fabric softener. I had just bought a brand new box of arm & hammer lavender softener. I distinctly remember laying it on the counter, still in it's plastic grocery bag. I was not there. I tore the place apart searching for it. It's nowhere. My boyfriend came home and grabs his jacket. He looks in the pocket for a bottle of pills that he had and it also was not there. He said he remembers zipping it up in the pocket. Nothing. We got to talking about the fabric softener and starting coming up with a list of other things. Come to think of it, SEVERAL things have been missing since we moved in. As of now, nothing has reappeared. Does anyone have any tips on how to get it back?

When I was about 15 year old (25 years ago), I had these same things happen on several occasions. They always happened in my bedroom. At times, I actually knew when it was going to happen. Examples: 1--Sitting on the edge of the bed. I dropped a pen on the floor. Rather than bending to pick up the pen, I finished up what I was doing. When I bent to pick up the pen, it wasn't there. It was on the top shelf of the table beside my bed (not really a table. the thing was on four wheels. it had a metal shelf at about 3" from the ground, another at 2' and another at 4'. it was handy for a teenager with lots of junk so I kept it beside my bed.) 2--I had a bed with a post at each corner; two on either side of the headboard, and two at the foot of the bed. the ones at the foot of the bed stuck up about 4", and were square 2"x2". I kept my wristwatch on one of these posts at the foot. One night, I was making my bed. I held onto two corners of the blanket, and flipped the blanket up to straighten it out. The blanket covered up the posts at the foot of the bed. The blanket wasn't lying exactly right, so I pulled it back for another try. When I did, I saw the empty post. The watch wasn't there anymore. I had seen it just seconds before. It was on the table thing beside my bed. The funny thing is, I was going to move the watch as soon as I was done. Just like with the pen, I was going to get to it...but it got there by itself without me. wierd. 3--Another time, same room, I dropped some change (a quarter?) beside the bed. Again, I did something else first planning to pick it up in just a second. Too late, it was up on the middle shelf of my 'table' thing. Lots of wierd things like that. I was always alone, so no witnesses. But these things happened 25 years ago, and I can remember them like yesterday. This is the first site that I have seen (by accident nonetheless) dealing with these things. thanks, chris Chris Deni <srilankachris at yahoodot com> OH USA - Tuesday, October 16, 2007 at 13:41:02 (PDT)

When our son was very young (3-7) we experienced something similar to the dissapearing/reapearing object phenomonem. I was employed by a defense contractor at the time, and so was very aware of everything going on around me. We would buy our son some new small toy, with which he would play with. Later (hours or days), we would notice him playing with a toy we had never seen. The toy would be similar to something you would expect a child his age to have, but upon close examination would sometimes have writing (like the factory code numbers) in a script/language I have yet to ever see elsewhere, and the toy we had purchased was no where to be found. Please note that we lived in the country and our son had no contact with other children while unsupervised. When pressed as to where the toy had come from, and where his toy was, he would simply state that he had traded with his 'freind' who he could not see or touch, etc. Since I worked in an extremely sensitive environment, with very nervous people, we never mentioned this to anyone until now. However, after a few days, the mystery toy would always dissapear, and his toy would reappear, sometimes to his great dismay-he seemed to like the toys from wherever better then the ones we purchased, on several occaisions. As he approached his early teen years, the phenomona stopped. Or at least we believe it's stopped....very weird stuff, but not unexpected in a chaotic multiverse. I think we need to see more with our perceptions, not with our three dimensional minds. By the way, our son is a very healthy, normal and intelligent young man-no side effects noted from his encounters with the toy-trader from wherever.

it was just a normal day, but i was bored, so i decided to go and watch a DVD in my bedroom. i went into the downstairs computer room to get the DVD, so i picked up 'The Fast And The Fourious' and read the case too see who was in it, so i took the DVD up to my room went to open the case and it wasn't The Fast And The Fourious case it was a AC/DC-Back In Black case I still don't know how this happened becaus the DVD's are stored on the othe side of the room, on a different cabinet.

A vanishing object... with conventional explanation. As a warning! I was carrying three small parts to another room, and in an agitated emotional state. I put them down on a table, and when I went to retrieve them... only two were there. Impossible! I had three! I looked all over the room and under stuff, but one was definitely gone. I retraced steps in case I had dropped one unknowingly (but I knew I didn't drop it. And I didn't find it.) It was definitely gone. I had to make another part. Some time later I sat down at my desk, and suddenly had a strange memory. I remember picking up the three objects, and DROPPING ONE which hit my shoe and rolled under the desk as I watched. I reached for it, and there the memory ends. WHAT? What happened?!! Ah, now I remember. A guy from upstairs walked in just at that moment, and asked about the parts. I looked up and started talking to him. And then I left the room, taking what I thought was three parts along in my fist. And yes, sitting right under the desk was the third small part. So yes, much of the time there really is a conventional explanation for these things. To be certain that something weird is going on, we have to "plug all the holes" of various everyday possibilities. Maybe your keys really are on the table, and anyone else could see them, but you cannot. Maybe your pen rolled off the table and fell silently to the linoleum floor, even though it should have made a loud noise. It's only the *totally* inexplicable events which we should take seriously. Situations when huge objects fall off the table and then utterly vanish. Or times when objects wink out of existence as you're staring right at them.

It was 1976. Saipan island: isolated, white sand beach; mid-day; blue sky; myself, two lawyers, two Irish setters - all alone; one lawyer swan nearby; the other lawyer and I stood on the beach and threw a found stick (perhaps 2 feet long), dark color, for the dogs to fetch. We threw it many times to a distance of, perhaps, 50 or 60 feet. The dogs would fetch it back, wait and, thrown, race after it again. When arriving at the stick, they pounced with front feet - sending it spinning or tumbling in the air. Then, this one time, when they simultaneously ponced on the stick, it spun, as often before, into the air - one spin, two spins, three spins and, then, simply, vanished. I witnessed the entire sequence and have visualized it, without alteration, to this day. The dogs spun, turned, searched and then came back toward us. The lawyer (his dogs) yelled to them, "Get the stick! Fetch! (or similar words)." They did not turn. I said, "They can't. The stick disappeared in thin air." The lawyer, confounded, continued to tell the dogs to get the stick. Why I caught the event was my good fortune, but he did not see what I saw. The dogs attention shifted to other matters of dog interest. White sand beach. Full sun. We walked to the site and made a diligent search. Nothing. The other attorney, noting the ruckus, came from the ocean and, told of the events, also made a search - no stick. The dogs' lawyer (stick thrower), understandably, could not reconcile the events - cognitive dissoance - and opted, understandably, to purge himself. The other lawyer, baffled by events, uderstandably, took the matter under advisement. From this experience, I have formulated a standard that must be met (by me) to accept such things as having happened outside of my mind (I am my own most severe critic). In this ideal circumstance, there were two attorneys (only the facts) and two dogs (only the facts). A laboratory beyond doubt. Of course, many trips to Saipan after the fact, I would go to this beach and, feeling foolish, try to replicate the disappeance of the stick by myself, alone. Nothing, of course. I have read (researched) the many submissions. Though I do not doubt the sincerity/belief, unfortunately most have "holes" in them - to the extent that one wishes to have a 2nd party accept them as "true". I am the first to state that there is no reason a sane/objective person shouls accept my story with les than a fist of salt. Hereine lies my dilemna. I am interested in pursuing "unusual phenomena" (inexplicable) but there is no purchase in reality from where to start...or so it seems. If there are those out there with an insight, I wish to hear from them. Eliot Wehead <ams at logopacificdot com> Hawi, HI USA - Monday, August 13, 2007 at 22:20:56 (PDT)

Vanishing/Reappearing Objects Okay, this one tears it. I've been browsing through your web page, reading a few people's accounts of missing/reappearing objects, and darned if it didn't happen to me, right here at the office. A co-worker is off for a week, and yesterday afternoon we discussed two files of pending work that I will need to handle in his absence next week. Just now, a gentleman showed up in the office, asking to review one of the files as it relates to a real estate transaction he's involved in. No problem with that, except I couldn't locate the file. I looked high and low, looked in every drawer in my co-worker's office, turned my office upside down, looked in everybody else's work space in the department. Finally, I said out loud, "Okay, this was really cute, but I need to find that file. Can you please help me out?" It wasn't three minutes later that my absent co-worker popped into the office to pick up some travel directions he had left behind. I grabbed him and asked him where the two files were, and he said "right here." He walked to a drawer I had checked just ten minutes earlier, and there were the two files--the only things in the drawer. I did say "thank you," both to him and to whoever put the files back in the drawer for him to find! This kind of thing happens to me at home all the time, and sometimes I think it's happening at the office, but the coincidence this time makes it pretty hard to ignore--just reading the online articles on the subject, and then having it happen to me. At home, it's mostly a matter of things disappearing from my kitchen spice cabinet, only to reappear exactly where I just looked (the oregano seems quite elusive). And our playful spirit also likes to snag pieces of a jigsaw puzzle just long enough to make us crazy, and then place them in plain view where we've just looked. I get the feeling it's a "hey, look at me!" signal, so I've started talking out loud to him/her, just to give a gracious response. If this is a deceased family member's spirit, there are a couple of people who come to mind. In fact, there have been other occurrences--my bedside lamp turned on by itself one night, with my face not two feet away from it, and my husband has heard a woman calling his name several times in the night. I'm a little hard of hearing, and have never heard this--but I have heard a little tinkling bell that he's also heard, in the dead of night with no apparent source. I get the strong feeling that this activity is attached to us, and not to the house or my office. And it's oddly comforting, so I don't really care, as long as my lost objects turn back up when I need them.

One Night my brother and I were throwing twinkies at eachother and he took a shot at from the stairs which are next to the kitchen. the weird thing was that is it never hit me and he was no more than 4 four feet from me and directly over head. I never heard it hit the floor either so fearing our mothers wrath of stepping on a twinkie we had a search party for the twikie. Think it may have bounced to the next room (do twinkies bounce?)I searched everywhere there. After 3 hours of searching for the culprit twinkie to no avail, we gave up. I found it a day later at the top of the Christmas tree in the westwing of the house. We`ere in the east. Asking my brother if it was his doing he said no. No one else knew of this Twinkie war.

Missing Item I am a marine, which means moving around alot and waiting for belongings to be shipped from your hometown to your station. When I came back from Iraq, I had a baby on the way. My wife and I went to my duty station after the baby was born, we had very little belongings with us, only what could fit on the plane, so clothes etc. When we got to my duty station we had a house waiting for us, but had to wait 4-6 weeks until the rest of our stuff came to us. Well, we didn't have everything for the baby, one thing was a crib. So we just decided to buy one in advance and set it up, because we( my wife, baby and I) were sharing a burrowed futon at night, every night. So we could sleep without the baby. So we bought a crib and we were setting it up, and we had the direction booklet in the babys room with us, there was nothing else in there but piles of clothes on the floor, and the parts to the crib, we started putting the crib together, and halfway through we just all the sudden couldn't locate the directions, so we picked things up, looked around, we just couldn't beleive it could disappear. But after about 10 minutes of searching, moving everything and searching the whole house, it couldn't be found, at the time, my wife started a big fight and blamed me, but I didn't hide it or something. She still doesn't beleive me, but maybe now I have a case to argue with after reading the other stories. I have never come across the book again. So I just don't know what to think.

The guy who wrote before me I agree with, that we could transport many times in one day to parallel universes. Simply because i have had many experiences in my life, so small but significant that leads me to conclude we don't stay in the same universe all the time. One example I have never been able to forget. I had a junker car when I was 18, my first car ever, the oil leaked, the breaks squeaked the wipers didn't work kinda car. When I got a new car about a year later I always made a point to always park in a specific spot to avoid all the oil leaks my previous car had left behind, my driveway was off white and they were very prominent, one day I came home from work, went upstairs to change for a date, came back a half an hour later, and the oil leaks were GONE! I was like what the hell. I mean no complaints, but oil leaks don't disappear. And the driveway was spotless, dry, no evidence of any cover up. I was baffled and weirded out. When I returned later from the date I checked it out and they were still missing????? TO my knowledge they never returned. I have no explanation, to date!

Following my earlier post http://amasci.com/weird/unusual/objs.html I started to pay particular attention to vanishing objects in my everyday life, with a view to expanding my theory that there may be some kind of 'Multiverse' interaction going on. I have also talked to various people regarding disapearing objects and found some interesting trends. Mainly there seems to be periods of time from several days to a couple of weeks. In cetain locales (a single dwelling or work place etc) where multiple items vanish. Some never to be seen again. After one of these 'Hot times' where several items of mine had vanished almost right before my eyes. I was prompted to email Dr Michio Kaku in the hope that a scientist of note, might take an interest in the subject of dispearing objects with special interest to multiverse theory. Here is a copy of the email (including spelling mistakes), which to date has had no response. LOL I wonder why??? Dear Dr Kaku, I have long held the belief that Multiverse theory is a distinct possibility. However I lack the firm academic background needed to pursue this area of science, as such I happily leave such things to noted persons such as your good self. That said, I do admit to spending much time devoting brain power to such theories and wish that I had strong enough mathematical skills to somehow add to the scientific endeavours. The reason I am writing is that I have two personal accounts which recently happened to me, that may be of interest to you. In particular they have started me on a line of thought regarding possible testing or study of certain aspects of Multiverse theory. I hope they are useful in some small way. Account 1) While sitting at my office (home) desk, I was using a small pair of nail clippers. To my left I have a tower case PC, which I use for creating music. As such It had a small midi keyboard along side it. The side of the case is always kept off, so I can swap the Hard drives, etc. conveniently. I was reading emails on my main pc which was to my right. I went to put the nail clippers down on top of the midi keyboard, but dropped them from a height of about 3 inches. They hit one of the keys of the keyboard and bounced into the tower case through the open side. I heard them rattle inside the case and quickly looked inside for them through the jumble of cables, etc., But could not see them. I wasn't at all bothered so turned back to my emails and left the clippers in sittue. Later, I went to retrieve the clippers. moving the keyboard and putting it on top of the case. I held the IDE and power cables out of the way and looked around inside the case, but was quite set aback that I could not see the clippers. This now became a mystery that needed to be solved, So I got a torch, removed the cables and thoroughly checked the inside of the pc case. I then checked under the case, around it, cleared the desk of all items. Checked the floor and finally sat back in complete amazement and swore loudly in disbelief. I must point out that the internal working of the pc are no mystery to me as I have built many thousands including the one in question. I can assure you that there is nowhere inside it or indeed in the local vicinity where the clippers could be hiding. Account 2) While undressing in the bedroom, Sat on the bed next to my wife. I removed my slippers, socks and trousers and talked to her for several minutes without moving. During the short conversation I was reminded that I had several chores that needed to be done before the morning, So accordingly I started to redress. However one of the socks that had been removed only minutes before and placed on the floor at my feet was missing. I checked inside my trousers, put my hands in the legs and then turned them inside out. checked in my slippers, under and around the bed and even the pockets of the trousers. I got up and looked around the immediate area which was bare of anything else and then checked the bedding itself. As the phrase says 'There it was, Gone' Both my wife and I were in complete disbelief and at a total loss for an explanation. As you can see from these slightly bizarre but very real accounts, which I believe are far from unique. It would seem that things really do 'Vanish into thin air' or certainly go somewhere. Obviously I do not expect you to accept these accounts as empirical data, however I must personally except them as such unless the items later turn up. In which case I will be seeking medical advise, and taking my wife along too. I was wondering if you are aware of whether a studies have been performed of unexplainable accounts such as these? Also whether you could see the implications to Multiverse theory and possible related tests? If you cannot, then I apologise for taking up your time with this email 'from left field,' The reason I have sent it, is because It is my strong belief that information needs to get to the people most able to deal with it. I hope that this is the case and this may prove to be the catalyst for a fruitful chain of thought (or perhaps one you have already followed?) regards Mr A Blainey Theory Man <ablainey'REMOVE THIS' at aoldot com> USA - Sunday, March 18, 2007 at 18:51:25 (PDT)

I was going for a spoon to dish out a takeaway last night and when I opened my cutlery drawer I saw a spoon that I have never owned. All my spoons are of the same design and this one was completely different. No one else could have brought it in as i live alone. has anyone else experienced this kind of thing?

i have hope when i read all these stories...here is why: about two weeks ago i was in my home in California, doing some housework. i took my engagement ring off, put it on the coffeemashine to do some dishes( coffeemashine isnt anywhere close to the sink). later on i remember very clearly taking the ring putting it back on. i did do a few more things around the house, not remembering ever taking it off. then i left on a mountainbike trip and i am super certain that i put the ring in the `secret spot`, which is where i leave it when i am traveling, or doing sports. i for sure didnt take it on the bikeride as my gloves don`t fit with the engagement ring on. having said this, i am always so paranoid about this engagement ring, always making sure its `safe`. anyhow, i returned from the bike ride and the ring wasnt in the `secret spot`.. i searched the house like a mad woman,every room, every drawer, behind the drawers, i even looked through the dog poop for the next couple of days. the house is really big, so it could be in many corners (5000sf)... anyhow, after a couple of days i left the house to go to ny for a week. i drove myself insane. i have no explanation what happened and i am going insane. nobody was at the house when this happened. it cant even fall through the sink, i mean did it fall in the toilet? i am feeling so stupid. how could it disappear? maybe the minute i`ll forget about( how can i?) it will show up again...i will keep you updated.. svenja p. <svenjaparotatat yahoodot de> new yorkny, USA - Monday, November 20, 2006 at 16:39:12 (PST)

Here's a "screw-y" experience reported on the VORTEX-L discussion group
