Im not going to specify my age but I will say first that I am a male minor anyways

So for a couple years now my mother and father have been divorced and I don't visit my dad due to my own request since I really don't like him for ditching me and my mom

Ever since the divorce any time we have spoken he has known very very fine details on me

Not things that are public or easy to find

But deep secrets that he can only find on my PERSONAL Diary that I always kept in my back pack or bed side maybe even things in my PC's notepad. Which I must clarify I don't have anything that can let him or anyone assess my PC (Anydesk or similar programs) and for a bit now he has been very up to date with these details like me having a discord server with my friends the games I bought or played my daily routine my new phone number the fact I shaved my body hairs and that I grew my hair out

Now to clarify more

No one in my freind or family circle knows some of these or the stuff they do know I've asked them about I've seen their phones and none of them are telling him.

He(dad) has been being very creepy with the details of my life he knows. Not close pinpointing the details. He knew I was at a mall with my other freinds he knew my very secret political views and today when I spoke to him on phone (by request of court about a topic) he told me "I find it weird that you are an Orthodox Cristian. Is this because you are leaving the country?" Which the only people that know that detail is Me Mom which I interrogated and our priest which he doesn't even know I have a dad. I asked him too about if he knew my dad and he told me that he thought I was a orphan at birth.

So my question is. How is my dad getting these details on me. Both online details or physically kept secrets. Ive wondered if he has a private investigator or a mole in my friend groups but there is no mole and I can verify that.

Please someone give me advice on WHAT it is and HOW I can avoid what ever he has

I had 2 credit cards compromised within 2 weeks and there are some very strange circumstances. Here is the story:

Credit card A is used for everything - gas, groceries, online purchases, etc. Credit card B has not been used for 2 years and is from a totally different bank. About 2 weeks ago I noticed a $500 charge for an airline ticket on card A. I called the bank and started a fraud investigation and eventually they refunded me the $500. They sent a new card which took about 10 days to arrive. One day after the card was cancelled, I got a text message from a number in Canada that said, "What time is your arrival?" I deleted that text as a spam email. Is this a coincidence or part of the fraudulent airline charge?

While I was without my main card (card A), I used card B at two main stream grocery stores one day. That means card B was only used 2 times in a few years and on one day. Today I was notified that card B had two small charges of $5.00 and $0.50. One for fast food delivery (I have never used fast food delivery) and the $0.50 was for some trinket at a local store. The bank stopped the charges and they assumed these were test charges to see if the card was good. The bank cancelled the card and is sending a new one.

One other note: my wallet was worn out, so I bought a new one with a Faraday protection. That was abaout 8 months ago. This answers the theory that someone scanned my card while in my pocket - unless the Faraday part does not really work.

Any theories as to what is happening? Is it all part of one plot or is it just coincidence with independent events, or is it something else?

I was involved in a hit-and-run on I-93 South in Massachusetts, just before Exit 30, on Wednesday, August 26 around 8 PM.
The other driver did not stop. The crash has already been reported to police.
I have multiple original Tesla camera angles and I am hoping someone may be able to help pull additional vehicle or license plate information from the footage.
I am NOT trying to identify or locate the driver myself. Anything useful will be turned over to law enforcement.
WHAT WE THINK WE SEE:
• Massachusetts license plate
• Plate may start with “5”
• We may be seeing “FW” somewhere around the middle
• None of those characters are confirmed
• I am also trying to confirm the exact make, model, and approximate year range
I would especially appreciate help with:
• Any plate characters you can identify with reasonable confidence
• Alternate interpretations of the “5” or “FW”
• Make/model/year identification
• Specific timestamps or frames that look particularly useful
If you see a character, please mention the timestamp/frame and how confident you are rather than guessing a complete plate.
I also have the untouched original Tesla camera files available if someone doing frame-by-frame analysis needs them.
Please do not post names, personal information, or try to track down an individual.
Even confirming or ruling out one character could help. Thank you!

A few weeks ago, my Android alerted me (40F) to an airtag traveling with me. I searched my car and my belongings repeatedly for like a week, never found anything. Never got any more alerts of it traveling with me. It's gotta be nothing. A glitch.

I have been scanning for airtags every so often, tho, and they show up nearly every time I check. But still, maybe a neighbor, right?

This weekend, I took a short road trip and spent 2 nights in a hotel. (No airtag alerts, not even on my mind). A guy at the hotel tries to talk to me....it feels very weird, tho. I'm friendly and chat with people often, but this interaction didn't feel like that. I brush it off. He's sitting in a chair in the hallway outside my room, I brush it off. I go to a nearby Walmart that night, and the guy is there and tries to talk to me again. Now I'm on high alert. Could it all be a coincidence? Of course. I check for airtags, and yes, it shows up both in the Walmart parking lot & again back at the hotel parking lot (same one, like it recognized it from one place to the next). But no alert of traveling with me.

I definitely have never seen the man before. I don't have anyone in my life who would care to track me. I do have a history of DV with 2 ex's but haven't had any issues with either of them in ~10 years and honestly doubt it would be related to either of them.

Do I brush this all off? I've searched my car extensively, including pics of the entire underside, double-checked thru AI. The fact that I'm not getting alerts of it traveling with me makes me think it's nothing, but the hotel guy showing up at Walmart freaked me out that someone could possibly be stalking me...

This started around mid-August and has gotten ridiculous. I’ve been getting repeated No Caller ID calls, sometimes 7–10+ in one day and several back-to-back within minutes. It’s still happening today.
When I answer, they usually say absolutely nothing. One time I stayed on the phone with them in complete silence for about 5 minutes. They hung up and immediately started calling again.
The weird part is that in July, before these calls started, someone also texted me from a fake number saying they were “a ghost,” wouldn’t tell me who they were, and basically admitted they were purposely texting from whatever number they wanted. I blocked that number and didn’t think much of it at the time. I have no idea if the two things are connected, but I’m including those screenshots too.
I genuinely don’t know who would be doing this. I don’t even have anyone blocked right now, I haven’t recently fallen out with anyone, and I’m not dealing with some angry ex situation where there’s an obvious suspect.
I already ruled out one person I initially suspected.
Has anyone dealt with something like this? Does the fact that they’ll actually sit silently on the line for several minutes make it more likely this is a real person intentionally calling rather than spam? And is there any legitimate way to figure out who is behind repeated No Caller ID calls?

Hello, all,

I've been digging in to a missing persons case which is local to my hometown, and when I got the redacted report from the Sheriff's office I was provided contact information for the applicable detective. I was advised to defer further questions to him. I would like to take them up on this

I made a reddit account specifically to join this sub after hearing about instances wherein its members proved helpful in real cases. So, to people that have more experience getting this hands-on with something like this: What can/can't I ask in a journalistic capacity? I'd like to make the most of that call, and would rather not waste any of the time that I have him on the line on out-of-bounds question that I should know better than to ask. So, people who already do know better: what ground can I cover?

This is a Sheriff's Office with a well documented reputation for mishandling missing persons matters, including this case, about which I can find no public remarks about since May of 2024. I'd like to press them on the lack of public info to hopefully bring new information to the table for the sake of the victims and their family. Thanks for any help.

Stay safe, everyone.

Let's see if I can formulate an accurate question to ask you all. South West United Kingdom. Gentleman found dead in a field amongst undergowth in 1982. Belongings with him suggest British and in the Merchant Navy. Year of death thought to be 1978, or slightly later, as remnants of 1978 copy of Sun newspaper with him. Suggested age at time of death, around 25-30 years old. No dna testing at that time. No foul play suggested. No self harm suggested. Big blizzard February 18th-20th in 1978. Suggestion is that he was between jobs on ships, or going home, and got caught in bad weather, huddled in undergowth and sucummbed to the cold. (He was not lost at sea). All belongings lost by Police so nothing to retrospectively test for dna. I have been on the story for a year and a half. Television done, radio done, lots of social media. No confirmed name to date. I've reached out far and wide and no one has come forward to be a friend, shipmate or relative yet. I have tried many avenues. My gut feeling is that he would like to be identified, so I still feel good about pursuing this gentleman's story.

My question to you is...."what haven't I tried"?

Here is a link to my Appeal for the gentleman:

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and advice.

For those of you who are new, check out this post:

For those who want a quick summary: My mom bought a car from her dad (my grandfather obviously) and we have a feeling he has a hidden camera in the car that he likes to watch. He told us he put one in there, but then later claimed it was just a joke. There have been several cases where he talks about things that he would only know by listening to conversations in the car.

Small update:

Nothing crazy happened, just kinda strange. So my mom talked to him earlier today. Instead she called him. The first time she called, he said he had to call her right back because an important call was coming through. But, within the 30 second call the first time, he said multiple times "is there anything you need to say?" 'You got something to tell me?" My mom said no, because we want to get him to say something more specific before we say anything.

A few minutes later, he called back. The first thing he said was "you don't sound right, I think you have something you want to tell me, are you sure you don't?"

In addition, my mom also added in an extra story. As mentioned in another comment on the first post, this man is very motivated by money. So in the car, we talked about her adding him to her life insurance policy.

But during both calls, she told me he was never specific on details we talked about, but he was acting as if he was trying to push some info out of her. Again, nothing specific, just... trying to see if she knows something. I made a reply on the og post because I thought it wasn't too big of an update for a full post, but I decided to make one since people really wanted to know and lots of people were commenting "updateme" So I had to give the people what they wanted, lol. We are still giving it some time to see what happens next. Like usual, I will keep everyone updated.

Every week I mop all of house and also this thin stair area. This week I found this coin which wasn't there last week. I have 0 idea how it ended up there. Me and my mother live alone. No one comes to our house except my brother who lives in another city. But he hasn't came over for 3 months. We are not sleep walkers and my mother is not pranking me with a coin. She has no explanation for it either. I am newly graduated and mostly home so no invasion. I dont think a coin magically fall and roll all the way since it is thin and long. (Check the pictures) To put that coin there you have to be taller than me for sure(1.66) It is also thin to walk on it. Any ideas how it ended up there.

Resolved!!! Turns out it was the washing machine

Last night around 12:30 AM, I started hearing a really strange sound coming from outside my house. It sounded exactly like someone gently tapping/knocking on glass with one finger.

The weird part was the pattern. It would start very slowly and quietly, then gradually become faster and louder, and then suddenly stop. This exact pattern happened around 6 times over the course of about an hour.

I checked outside but couldn’t see anything, and there didn’t seem to be anything obvious that could be making the sound.

Around 2 AM, I got up with my mom and dad and we turned on the lights for the backyard and the front entrance and went outside to investigate. The sound completely stopped after we turned the lights on and went outside. We didn’t see anyone or anything.
I’m not saying it was definitely a person, but the repetitive and organized pattern, plus the fact that it stopped when we turned on the lights, made me wonder.

Has anyone experienced something similar or recognize what could make a sound like this? I’m especially curious about things that could cause a repeated slow → faster/louder → stop tapping pattern.

Unfortunately I didn’t record it because I wasn’t expecting it to keep happening. If it happens again, I’ll definitely record it.

Toyota Highlander swerved into my wife's vehicle, we have dashcam footage but can't quite make out the full plate. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/o3y7axbmqkd5bidakchq8/REC20260817-153202-31369.mp4?rlkey=byq19o8jhnxfj2pbl4hs8lw0r&st=397tpue3&dl=0

I have a strong suspicion that there is a hidden microphone or camera inside my mom's car, and we don't know how to locate it and what we should do if we find something.

My mom bought a 2016 Chevy Malibu from her dad. The car originally belonged to his nephew, who was incarcerated. When my mom first got the car, her dad told her that they had installed a hidden camera/audio device in it to monitor the nephew while he was driving. He then claimed it was "just a joke." For more context, she actually got the car in 2022, so there have been cases starting from when she first got it.

But over the time she has owned the car, her dad, including his wife, have both made multiple, oddly specific comments about private conversations and actions that occurred exclusively inside the car.

1: We had a private conversation in the car about his wife's rice was when she cooked and it was terrible. A few days later on the phone, he randomly stated out of nowhere, "I don't care what anyone says, my wife makes the best rice." He said it on repeat as if he was just itching to say "I heard you."

2: My mom was looking at her nose in the rearview mirror while driving and jokingly told me, "I'm not picking my nose, I'm just looking at something." A few days later, her dad randomly told her, "I bet you be picking your nose while driving don't you?"

It's just so strange how he brings up things that we never said to him, and how each time, a few days later, he always says something about the exact subject we talked about. So, if there is a hidden device in there, and we find it, what do we even do after that? And how do we even find something like that?

Hi guys, just for some context I was involved in a very traumatic situation, in which the above exact car was involved. I searched up the number plate of the car and to my surprise this image came up! It says it’s from a Facebook post from 2 months ago (exactly how long ago the situation occurred) - so I’m very curious as to what it may be, and if it could be useful to me or the police. Whenever I click on the link to the image it simply takes me to Facebook - is there any way anyone can help me with this. It would be much appreciated!!

The image comes up when put in google reverse search;

Hi everyone, I’m genuinely terrified and desperate for advice. Someone on Threads (written in Korean) posted malicious rumors about me **including my personal photos**.

Even though the original poster is inactive, the post went viral. The comment sections are completely out of hand, filled with violent death threats like "execute by firing squad" and threats to track me down and show up at my upcoming wedding.
I live in the US, and the perpetrator seemed to be in Korea when I first checked, but now the account is based in Syria, I think they used a VPN. I reported it to the Korean police, but they can't do anything because **Meta won't help provide their information. Also I reported on Threads and Instagram directly and everything got rejected and said it doesn't go against their guidelines. (Which made me so pissed off)**

Since this has escalated into severe cyberstalking and death threats with my photos plastered everywhere, but Meta is stonewalling:
How and where should I report this?
Can US local police or federal agencies step in for international death threats and doxxing when the victim is in the US? Obviously going to local police is intimidating too. I have no experience with this kind of mess.

Is there any way to force Meta to take down a viral post containing my photos and death threats? Honestly I tried calling, emailing, sending my IDs and everything I can do with Meta and they blocked me from calling them.
And none of reports got accepted.

Any advice on legal steps or how to handle this would mean the world to me. If I hire a lawyer would that help? If I can't find out who did this, I want to at least take down the account. Thank you.

I was on the exit ramp getting ready to turn on my way to work when I noticed this bizarre and incomprehensible sign with a website linked. Going to the site I’m even more confused by the long rambling nonsensical text with the person advertising vegetables and rabbits for sale? I’d really just like to make sense of all this if there even is a conclusion to come to.

weird sign and part of the site

Sorry if this is a little messy or out of place, I haven't had to post something like this before. If it'd fit more in a different subreddit or something, lemme know.

As the title says, I found a camera outside of my room. If I remember correctly, its mic was pointed toward my door (sound leaks a bit from my room since there are small gaps between the walls and floors of it). I believe this was placed here by one of my parents, and it *could* just be a coincidence that they decided to charge it in an obscure-ass corner of a dirty chair right next to my room instead of any other spot, but I'm pretty anxious that they were trying to record me talking to my friends and loved ones, for... some reason. Do you all have any advice for how I should handle this? My parents wake up in a few hours, and I was obviously tampering with the camera (from what I could tell, it looks like something they ordered off of Temu that could have an app to view through it, so not only could they see me looking at it and moving around with it, they'll also notice that I hid it somewhere, wrapped up in a towel so it can't see or hear anything). I was contemplating just chucking it somewhere, but they could replace this pretty easily. One of my friends said I should wait for one of my parents to come to me first about this rather than have me confront them about it. But yeah, if y'all have any advice, it would be much appreciated!

For context, I live in an abusive household, and while I've been much safer and happier these past few years since I started to stay away from my family and prioritize my online relationships, I wouldn't be surprised if my parents feel frustrated that I don't talk to them much. I want to get a job and move out, but it's difficult in my current situation. Oh, and as for why they wouldn't just go into my room and hide it somewhere, well, I sleep during the day and I spend most of my time awake at night, in my room with my door locked. Overall my door is locked pretty much 22/7. So, they likely wouldn't have been able to find an opportunity to hide it inside my room, and just hid it directly outside.

Edit, here's some pictures of the camera: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nKcWZn46mQOM7VyyWKu9ukYyUCgAky_S/view?usp=sharing

mystery FireStick connecting to my phone

ive been seeing a device called “Esvins FireTV stick” connecting to my phone randomly via Bluetooth. I don’t know anyone named Esvin. Am I going crazy? am I just paranoid?

This is probably a really obscure thing, but an over a decade ago, there was a chlorine gas or some other gas incident at Club Sport in Tualatin Oregon. It happened when I was at-least 4, I think probably 8-9 at the absolute latest. So sometime during the 20 Teens. The place it happened at is now called Bay club. The only thing I could find about it was that maybe it was a sort of “backwash” event that caused it? But the safety article I saw it in didn’t provide a specific name of the place it happened at. Only that it happened within the general area. I know I’m not imaging this, because my dad and mother remembers it as well.

Edit: I will add this in case it helps, I vividly remember seeing a white gas rise out of the water, shortly before going in to the locker room with my dad and little brother, shortly after that, we saw people vomiting, running with their kids, and covering their faces with pool towels, idk if that helps but.

I’ve been following the CyberLeek situation and I’m curious from an investigative perspective: why hasn’t the person behind the account reportedly been identified or arrested yet?
What kinds of evidence would investigators typically need to connect an online leaker to their real world identity? And are there legitimate reasons why something like this could take a long time?
I’m not looking for anyone’s personal information or trying to identify/dox anyone just interested in understanding how investigations like this generally work.

Edit: For anyone unfamiliar with CyberLeek, CyberLeek is an online account/person who has been associated with leaking information and material related to Grand Theft Auto VI. The situation has attracted attention because of the nature of the leaks and questions surrounding how the person behind the account has been able to remain unidentified.

I live in Bulgaria. These strange calendars have been popping up in the more remote areas of Pernik (a city close to the capital) for a long time now. Recently I found an entire bag filled with dozens of them in a gazebo in a park (in Draganovets neighborhood). Strangely, cut-out numbers forming various dates have been glued onto them. They also feature images of numerous natural and historical landmarks from around the country. Does anyone know what these are?

Hey there,
For about two months now, there’s been a really bizarre sound right outside my house that’s driving me crazy. I’m hoping someone here can help me figure out what animal (or object) is making it. My husband thinks it’s a bird.

To me it doesn't sound like a typical bird chirp or owl hoot, it sounds more like a loud, repetitive human scream or a raspy, screeching gasp or laughter. Almost like a man’s scream in a cartoon. I hear it during the day AND at night. Sometimes it keeps me up at night. Is it like a HVAC or smth?
It's been going on consistently for about 1–2 months max. I live a bit outside Paris, France.

You can hear it well in the beginning of the video and at 0:09 sec.

Here’s the sound:

(Sorry if there are any spelling mistakes (I'm using a translator).

I was on AliExpress earlier, I know it's bad, but anyway, basically I saw a personalized cap it doesn't interest me that much, but I saw the price And abnormally expensive for what it is It cost over €1000. That's too expensive for a cap on a site like Aliexpress, isn't it?. I remember seeing that before, for example, a small poster, 5 cm by 10 cm, costing around €5,000. And I suspect there must be a rather grim explanation for that.

I had a theory that it could be sales of not-so-legal things, like what happened on Vinted.

Or it could be people using a technique to make a lot of money at once by exploiting someone's typos.

Does anyone have an explanation?

I am posting a transcript since I can’t upload photos here. Not sure what to make of it. Kinda freaky.
