My sweater melted. Not a burn on me, no lung issues, nothing… 3 times I went back inside and I got all my animals. Image credits: xyy632489 #2 In Vegas on Fremont St by myself two guys started to corner me and I panicked and said "do I look like a woman scared to go back to prison again?" I've never been to prison. But they left me alone. Image credits: 🖤 Guillotine Queen 🖤 #3 I followed our dog to the river in the winter when I was about 5 and fell through the ice. The only reason I survived is because our dog belly crawled to the hole and I was able to grab his collar and eventually get out. Image credits: Shanon #4 I live in Ukraine. Image credits: victoria #5 A random man pushed me over the side of a bridge when I was walking home at night. I was desperately grabbing for anything I could to not fall and ended up grabbing the back of his pants, we both went over the edge and dropped about 30 feet, I landed on top of him and his spine was crushed against a rock. I fractured my sternum and broke my arm. Image credits: certified_fat.c0ck_ #6 Missed the last bus late at night and started crying of fear. Went home by paying a huge taxi ride and crying even more because of the unexpected expense. Found out the next day that the bus flew off the bridge and into the river. There were no survivors. Image credits: notaspicegirl #7 Survived cancer twice. Image credits: LoverGirl ₊˚⊹ ᰔ #8 When I was about three I got out of the house in our complex. This man came up to me and asked me if I wanted to go to Disneyland. I of COURSE said yes, as I went to get into his vehicle these three young (but older than me) girls grabbed me and started running with me. I still VIVIDLY remember it to this day. Image credits: Aussi North #9 Three men followed my 4 yr old daughter and I around Walmart. Every corner I turned it was one of them pretending to be on their phones. I saw an older lady and told her to please go get security. They ended finding these guys car and it was full of ammo/guns, tape, rope, and children’s books. Image credits: turkeynobeans #10 I was kidnapped when I was a child and I was found by the police in a different state. Image credits: Kristen Alexis #11 My parachute failed to open, in 10 second before landing my safety parachute opened. Broke my spine, legs and neck. Hospital for 8 months. Image credits: HardTekkTitan #12 I told my wife to calm down and act reasonable one time. Image credits: Mute88 #13 My friend invited me to see the batman movie one summer night in 2012 and my mom refused to let me go, teenage me was so upset that i couldn’t go. We were supposed to go to the Aurora theater. My mom saved us from seeing James Holmes face to face that night! Image credits: emma ♈︎ #14 When I was younger I’d use walkie talkies to talk w my bff. A woman joined our “chat” and convinced us to meet at a local lake at night. We went there, we saw a few men w flashlights calling our names. We both got scared and went home. Never told our parents. Sorry mom and dad. Image credits: HeyDollie #15 Hurricane Katrina. Those documentaries are nowhere near as apocalyptic. Image credits: wellimchris #16 I got hit by a car crossing the street, he was going about 55mph. Hit n run….I flew pretty far and was found hours later in bushes by pizza delivery people. Image credits: kat eyes #17 So four months back I was in a car accident. MY WORK COLLEAGUE, yes you heard that right put something in my drink to do things with me that i wouldn’t agree with, I left and got into a accident. Something never made sense after the accident, there was stuff wrong with the car that we couldn’t explain. Turns out he messed with my car as well. So that if he couldn’t get his way with me, I would get in a tragic accident and no one will point fingers at him. Image credits: Mona #18 7 week coma. Woke to paralysis, found out I was terminal if I didn't receive a transplant & unlike to receive one because of the damage my heart sustained. 7 months in the hospital in 2024. I swear, and angel was in my hospital room & told me it wasn't my time. Scared me but I had my transplant 7/31/24. Image credits: Connie E 🦋❤️🕊 #19 Well my country went though civil war as a kid I was there I can’t believe I’m alive sometimes. When I see the kids in Palestine it’s triggering cause that was once us. Most didn’t survive. Image credits: FATU #20 I shouted back to my African mother. Image credits: 🦋Bess🤍 #21 I took 100 sleeping pills when I was 15, thank God my brother found me, he told my mother, they rushed me to albany medical center where they pumped my stomach and saved my life. I was out of it for 6 days and don't remember anything! Image credits: Anonymous #22 I got pulled into a rip tide in Bolsa Chica beach when I was 12. I went with my friend and her family and she just laughed and watched me struggle to get back up. Image credits: Angie 💙 #23 My stepdad tried to sacrifice me, my mom and my siblings because he thought we were spawns of satan. Image credits: Ventí ひ #24 I worked in event security and forgot I had a shift one night and had to pretend to call in sick to save face. That shift was the Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena in 2017. Image credits: lauryn 🌸 #25 Hit by a semi truck on the freeway. Cop said he’s never seen someone walk away from an accident like mine. I had bruises and scratches but I was ultimately fine. I definitely had my guardian angels with me that day! Image credits: Cori G #26 I went on a date with a guy from a University near me and he seemed completely normal. That same night he confessed to me that he had eaten pieces of his ex girlfriend and that’s why they broke up. He also told me he liked to eat people. I thought he was joking the whole time. The next day I went to the police and they told me he was wanted by the local police. Image credits: cherlynsa #27 In 2012 I was buried alive in a construction site, there was no cautionary tape no nothing, a wall of mud and clay collapsed on me and my friend. The only reason I survived was bc of the way my friend and I were positioned. Firefighters said it created an air pocket. I was 12 years old. Image credits: sarah #28 I was roofied at a club in Germany when I was 17 (I grew up overseas, this was in 1991). I woke up hiding under a sink in the kitchen of a restaurant the next morning. The only parts of the night I remember are running up a flight of stairs while trying to escape someone. I sat on the front steps of the restaurant crying, not knowing where I was or where my car was. Eventually, a taxi driver saw me, took pity on me and drove me around for free until I recognized something and helped me find my car. He scolded me in German the whole time about how I had bad friends because they left me. Image credits: Nickennoodle #29 Left without a scratch. I was the passenger sleeping and I woke up in the middle of the flips and I felt my soul leave my body and I thought I [was gone]. Image credits: Esme #30 I survived a direct hit from a tornado that completely destroyed the house with us in it. Not a scratch on any of us. Image credits: Sparky Tornado #31 I was just around 1 to 2 years old, at the supermarket in the cart seat. My mom turned around to pick up some cereal and a lady picked me up trying to steal me, my mom quickly noticed, grabbed me and started screaming and hitting the lady. #32 I got lost in the woods for 2 days at the age of 10. #33 Food poisoning, literally bad chicken nearly took me out was in a coma, and had to learn to walk for 9 months. #34 Got chased by a schizophrenic man with a knife for an hour because he had a vision that i spilt water on his head. #35 Suffered a seizure and slipped into a coma and almost didn’t make it out..but I did…I had to learn to walk again but I’m here today! Image credits: 𝐽𝑎𝑑𝑎🎀 #36 I was sitting on a picnic table in an apartment park alone when I was 7 while my mom was cleaning our garage. 2 Hispanic men came out of of their car from the parking lot and walked towards me. They started talking to me and told me that they can take me to an amusement park. Me being in the spectrum and gullible, I fell for it and held their hand walking towards their car until my mom popped out of nowhere and stopped them, then took me back. I can't imagine the horrible things that would happen to me if my mom didn't stop them! #37 My car rolled off the highway on black ice in Colorado 17 years ago. It rolled 4 times down the hill off the side of the road. I would have been gone if it the snow hadn't been so deep that it cushioned the car rolling. #38 Living in America. Literally. Just existing is crazy. #39 I was 19. My boyfriend and I were fighting. I left our apartment in the cold walking. I called a cousin to get me but she was two hours away. So I walked around the complex knocking on doors so I could wait until she arrived. One college age yt guy opened the door. I sat there with him, just the two of us in a dimly lit apart. He was nice and I was scared but I waited there. A few weeks later, same guy was being investigated for a girl’s disappearance. I can’t understand why he was so nice to me. #40 150 yeah old oak tree dropped onto our bedroom during hurricane Helene.
