[Serious] What's something so bizarre and unusual that's happened to you that you do not share it with many people?

Two years ago, my husband and I were still living in our first house. It wasn't the greatest area, but definitely not terrible. I was laying in bed next to my husband , and I heard our back door slide closed. I woke my husband and told him what I heard, and he told me to stay in bed and asked if I was sure. I said yes, and as I did a flashlight shined up the stairs. I wanted to run (nowhere to really run to as we were on the second story) but my husband held his arm across me. He coughed, and our guest booked it. We called the police, and when they showed up they insisted that no one had been there because nothing was missing and "no one ever closes the door behind them when departing from a break in" (they closed the door behind them)

This was all within six months of a close family member's suicide, my mother spending time in the mental hospital, a miscarriage, and the violent death of a loved family pet.

I saw a counselor and to this day almost no one knows about any of that. I just don't see the point in sharing with people.

PS our new neighborhood is much more secure, and I now own a gun and an alarm system.
