26 People Who Were Brave Enough To Share Photos Of Very, Very, Very Weird Notes They Found Or Received
Warning: This post contains disturbing messages including tones of stalking.
1.Like this note someone found in a "mailbox" that randomly appeared in a park they frequent.
2.This note that says "2 people" that someone found outside their house (where they live with their fiancé). "It was on a little path by our garden facing our windows. We live in the woods with no neighbors. Is this weird, or am I being paranoid?"
3.This cryptic message someone found inside their shoe that might be about black magic (according to one other Reddit user).
"Native Arabic speaker here. As others commented, this looks like an attempt at black magic. The first three lines are mostly made up of symbols and random numbers and letters, but a few words stand out.
اسماء which can be translated as either the word "names" or the Arabic female name Asmaa
احمد = Ahmed
طه = Taha (another Arabic name)
الله = Allah/God
The last line is readable but hard to figure out what it means. It says طلسم لحسن والجمال المرة which is either a grammatically incorrect way of saying 'talisman for woman's wellness and beauty' or, the way I initially read it, it could mean 'talisman for Hassan and the Bitter Camels,' whatever that means.
Weird find in any case. I'd just toss it unless this seems like it's meant for you, in which case someone's being malicious."
4.And this Polaroid that isn't a "note" so much as just a very unsettling image of what APPEARS to be a bunch of chickens huddling together?
"I was out for dinner, and when I returned to my car parked on the street, this picture was tucked under the windshield wiper with today’s date in the bottom corner. Have no clue what the stuff in the picture is, and no other cars nearby had this on their car."

5.This truly bone-chilling note someone left on a street pole. It reads: "Notice, while you are reading this, there is a man in one of the windows high above you who is taking your photograph; he will then make a wee model of you and put it with other wee models of other people, then he plays weird games with them."
6.This REALLY weird and cryptic note that someone's mom found inside a stick of butter after she opened it...
Part of the cryptic notes reads: "SECRET soc. r tied to drugs/riots/terror'm...: JFK warn'd of SS."
...the EXTRA weird thing is that apparently other people, specifically in the Pennsylvania area, have also found this same note but in things like a box of crackers!
One redditor even noted that "people keep seeming to find notes like this. Based on some of the stuff I can legibly read, it talks about Saturn Worship, Identity change, Aryan Nations, Elon Musk, Skull N Bones Secret Society, the vaccines... This seems to be some conspiracy shit, it brings up a lot of below-the-surface-level conspiracies. [...] And these notes are seemingly becoming more common, I believe it’s the same text every time on every note."
7.This note someone found walking to their car that has words like "man in house," "knife," and "gun" in it.
8.This bizarre note someone got at work.
"This symbol 'キ' is 'ki' in Japanese Katakana. This symbol 'り' is 'ri' in Japanese Hiragana. け 'ke' in Hiragana might be written backwards on the end of line two.
There’s also a few symbols that look similar to Korean. Like ㅢ and ㅡ.
'ハ' is 'ha' in Japanese Katakana.
'つ' is 'tsu' or a symbol of an elongated vowel in Japanese Hiragana.
Either someone made their own code using the most random Asian characters or you have a Weeb that’s trolling you."
9.This oddly specific note that has me asking all kinds of questions.
10.This kinda threatening note that someone's friend found in a cabin. It reads like something out of a horror film, but because I can't help myself, I'd probably open it just out of curiosity.
It reads: "Do NOT open the attic under ANY circumstances! ESPECIALLY if the light is on! This is VERY IMPORTANT. —Mgmt"
11.This creepy note someone found outside their door when they returned home from work. Turns out, it was left by their ex.
"I installed a deadbolt and had my locks changed."

12.This message (which is more of a "digital" note LOL) from an AI chatbot that actually invited someone to a random address in New York City, which is NOT sketchy at all. (It's the "Be ready" at the end for me.)
13.This threatening note a Portland, Oregon man found on his car, at his HOME, after his tires were slashed.
According to KOIN News, the night before, the car's owner, Mark Holzmann, had been driving into a parking garage and "may have" cut a bicyclist off. Holzmann said, “I don’t know, it’s not like I overtook him, passed him, and turned in front of him. If anything, he was coming up from behind me.” Apparently, the bicyclist then "went from zero to ballistic" and started "yelling, screaming, shouting." Holzmann believes the bicyclist may have found his address through his customized license plate.
14.This creepy note someone found from a "secret admirer" on their car at night. The note reads: "Hey I think you're really cute. I've noticed you work at Bed Bath & Beyond, been checking you out for a bit, and I think next time I see your car here, I'm finally gonna go and talk to you, hope this doesn't creep you out. — Secret Admirer"
"I love the 'I hope this doesn't creepy you out' part. Hrm, you've watched me long enough not only to know where I work but what I drive and where I park. Then you tell me you'll be watching for my car? Why no, that's not creepy at all!"
15.This inexplicable message someone found posted on a pole near their home that asks more questions than it answers. Like, even if it's just a paper with some typos...why would someone post it, then?!
16.This note from a "secret admirer" that someone found on her car...along with a bag containing TEETH. The note reads: "To Lauren, don't frown — you never know who is falling in love with your smile, from your secret admirer."
17.This mysterious note that was taped to the back of a stop sign in someone's neighborhood:
Some of the text on the note reads:
"Watch the following movies to save your father
George H.W. Bush
The Game
The Firm
Die Hard with a Vengeance
The Wolfman"
18.This uncomfortable note from a person named "David" that someone's neighbor came home to and found on her door.
The note reads: "OK I'm going try this again because of earlier today I like what I see, give me call —David. Reason I don't speak is because u look like u don't want to be spoken to, to me. Like u not with it. So, I just watch from a distance."
19.This strange note/goodie bag someone (and their neighbors) found in their mailboxes.
20.This disturbing note that someone put on a teacher's door.
21.This confusing note that a stranger left in an office (along with a debit card number written on the back). Part of the note reads: "I was told you help people like me? Look at her she was about 5', dark hair and olive skin, very pretty. I took her scent in. I'm a were butterfly or shifter if you prefer. Slow down tell me what the problem is?"
22.This short, but ominous, note someone found in their coat sleeve while leaving work.
"I found this note in my coat sleeve while I was leaving work. I don’t have any work enemies…or so I thought."
—Think-Repeat630 (OP)
23.This icky and nonsensical note that someone found on their mom's car.
24.This weird and cryptic anonymous note that was left in someone's mailbox.
"It's a combination of really sweet and Zodiac Killer. Given that they've identified themselves as my neighbor creeps me out. They know who I am and where I live. Or maybe they meant my wife?"
25.This simple, but pretty horrifying, note that is actually quite terrifying to read out of context (explanation below).
"I work at a pathology lab, but out of context this note is oddly terrifying."
—seismicqueef (OP)
"Um, I am not sure the context made it better."
26.Finally, this person who found, not a note, but an actual PICKLE clipped to their front door?! Apparently, their neighbors said they know nothing about it.
One word: "Why?"
