Welcome to R slash Ask Reddit where people answer the question, what's the scariest thing you've seen in your life that you can't explain?

Our first reply is from the Farrell Forger. About 25 years ago, my now former wife and I were caretaking a house.

We had been there for several weeks, and we both noticed that we always had that feeling coming up the stairs from the cellar that something was going to grab you as soon as you turn the light switch off.

Everything else about the house was normal.

We slept with an analog wind-up alarm clock

next to the bed, the kind that actually ticks. To set the alarm, you move a tiny third hand to the

location of the clock face for the desired time. For example, halfway between 6 and 7 to awaken at 6.30.

It's a physical process, and there's very little opportunities to get it

wrong. We always had the clock set to wake us up at 6 a.m. This was not something we fiddled with on a daily

basis. One night, the alarm clock went off at like 2 in the morning to old school ringing bells.

Both my former wife and I woke up absolutely terrified. I saw a small

figure, maybe two feet tall, run out of the room. I thought I must have been crazy,

until my former wife screamed, did you just see that thing? We both described it as some sort of

small gremlin. When we looked at the alarm clock, we saw that the alarm hand had been moved from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m.

That's the whole story.
