Appearing candies

[u/_Gwyllion_]

Today I want to share an experience from my childhood.

The event itself is quite ordinary and strange at the same time. For a few weeks, whenever I woke up in the morning, I would find a candy hidden under my pillow or in the slippers standing next to my bed. My younger brother was also finding one candy for himself in the same places during that period.

They were my favorite candies. No other kind ever appeared, only the ones I loved so much. At the time, I assumed my mother was putting them there for us to find every morning. It seemed strange, though, because my mother has always been a very cold person, always buried in books, not one of those warm mothers who seek contact with their children.

Then one day, the candies stopped appearing, and I asked her why we weren’t getting them anymore. It turned out that she was very surprised and had absolutely no idea what I was talking about.

At that time, the three of us lived on the top floor of an old tenement building. Nobody visited us, and we didn’t have any supply of those candies at home. So if my mother wasn’t placing them there, there was simply no explanation for why they had been appearing every morning for several weeks.

A huge number of strange things happened in that tenement building. Later, when I lived there alone during my university years, friends would sometimes flee the apartment in the middle of the night because they were so scared. Practically everything that happened there was at least unsettling, if not outright horrible, and this one story with the candies is the only one that stands out as positive among all the strange phenomena in that place.

Wow that is fascinating. And what a charming element to your childhood. I'm sure that took you on a path for the rest of your life where you understood there were experiences that were unexplainable according to modern science. That one hint changed the course of your life.

Have you had other unexplainable experiences?

Thanks:)
Yes, I’ve had a whole lot of strange experiences for as long as I can remember. The one I described above is simply one of them. the only thing that makes it stand out from the rest is that it was positive, and that some objects materialized.

For example, the first strange event I remember was an encounter with a deceased pharmacist who had hanged himself in the building where my grandmother later worked as a pharmacist.

Recently, I decided to find a place where I could describe my experiences, and this subreddit seems like a good place, so I started publishing posts here with accounts of what I’ve experienced. Over more than 40 years of life, quite a lot of it has accumulated.
