Gaijin: you live in a haunted house 
My turn!
We had just moved to a remote location in ND, nearest neighbor about a mile away. We were living in a trailer in the barn until the snow melted and we could get the house livable. The dogs were in the barn with us and started barking frantically.
Suddenly, we both heard, from RIGHT outside the barn door, “It’s okay, boys,” in my voice. AND it’s something I say to them all the time. AND the dogs stopped barking (which they never do when I say it). After a few seconds of frozen silence and staring at each other, I dashed outside, since I had my shoes on…nothing. No one around, no cars anywhere near, nada.
I came back in and we discussed it - we’d both heard the same thing. IIRC, he said it sounded like me before I told him I thought so. We had no electricity, so there was no TV or radio.
Nothing’s happened since, but we still wonder about it occasionally.
In honor of Thread-Bumping Week, this thread will now be bumped.
When we were on our honeymoon in Cancun, the people in the room above us at our hotel kept moving furniture all day long. The floors in most of the hotels in Cancun are marble because of the high heat & humidity.
It wasn’t housekeeping, because we asked the maid and checked it out for us.
It wasn’t them ‘breaking in’ a piece of furniture, it took a pretty big shove to get it to move.
The people moved the typical heavy hotel furniture all day long.
It stopped about midnight.
Very odd, indeed.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read all day.
This isn’t major weird, just personal weird. While in college, a fine arts class took a trip to the art museum. After spending the morning there, we had a few hours to wander the downtown area. 4 of us are walking on Lake Shore, me in front, the other 3 right behind. We were walking into the chilly wind, so my head was down. I heard someone in front of me say “Hi Lok,” but when I looked up, there was no one there. The 3 guys behind me all asked me who the good looking girl was. They said she had looked right at me, said hi, then kept right on walking in the opposite direction. They didn’t know who she was, but I didn’t know anyone in Chicago except the rest of the people in our class. Never did find out who it was.
