Mind-blowing stories don’t have to come from Hollywood scripts or best-selling books. Many times, real life has more dramatic, unexpected, and suspenseful turns than any story could ever write. The stories we’ve put together for you today are proof of this. You’ll be taken on a journey full of unexpected turns and twists as you read these accounts. This shows that reality can be even more amazing than fiction.

“My mom gave up all of her parental rights to my dad and left us eight months after I was born.” He said she didn’t ask about me. I haven’t talked to or met her. I saw her name on a list of people who had appointments a year ago. I work at a big law firm. I was shocked when she walked in and told me her name right away, without greeting me or making eye contact. She then left for the reception area. I was nice to her and asked if she would like tea or coffee, but she said no. I had always thought she was taller and stronger based on pictures I have of her as a child. She was thin and weak. I went to the lawyer’s office and looked through her file after she left. It was her third marriage, and she needed a good lawyer to help her get a big chunk of his millions of dollars. Also, I was shocked to learn that she has two little girls with him. It hurt even more to see her, especially since she didn’t recognize me. It proved what my dad already told me: she had forgotten about me and moved on with her life.

We’ll call my brother Steve. He was engaged to a woman named Samantha, and the two of them have a son together. Samantha began to lock her phone and stay at home later one day, which are all signs of someone cheating. She told me one weekend that she was staying in a motel about 250 miles away for a work event. Late at night, around 1 a.m., my brother Steve called the motel room because he thought something was wrong. Someone picked up the phone. It was our other brother. Not a known author/Reddit

I had a soap opera plot twist. One of my best friends started going out with a man who said he was from South Africa. After about six months, we learned that he wasn’t really South African.
He lied about his background and accent. He was American and had grown up just across the river in another town. She spent some time with him. From melishka on Reddit

At my new job, I met the manager when I got there for the first time. “No time to waste,” he told me, and then he gave me some strange tasks to do. My phone rang after an hour of work. It was from the new job I had just started. The person on the other end of the line asked, “Do you know today is your first day?”
“Yes!” I replied. I’m really here. David gave me some things to do. “Who is David?” he asked. It looks like someone I didn’t know started telling me what to do, and I didn’t even think about it. It made us laugh a lot. Not a known author/Reddit
