The most unbelievable story I know is about a family where a distant relative showed up claiming to be part of the family just to get a share of an inheritance. The legal process to prove or disprove his claim was full of drama. There was also a family that had a legal battle over who gets to use the family name for a business. It got really messy as different family branches had different ideas and interests.
I've heard of an ex - wife who spread rumors around their small town that her ex - husband had some sort of contagious disease. It was completely untrue, but it made his life very difficult. People started avoiding him, and he lost some of his friends. She did it out of spite, and it took him a long time to clear his name.
I know a story where a guy ordered a small keychain as a joke gift for his friend. But what he got was a real - size replica of a medieval sword. It was so huge and heavy that he couldn't believe it was sent to him instead of the tiny keychain. It turned out that there was some mislabeling in the inventory system.
One unbelievable story is of a man who took out life insurance on his neighbor without the neighbor knowing. He thought that if something happened to the neighbor, he could claim the money. Of course, this was completely illegal. Another is a woman who tried to increase her life insurance amount right after she was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and the insurance company was very suspicious.
One of the most unbelievable crazy real stories is about a person who was struck by lightning seven times and still survived. It's almost unheard of to survive even one lightning strike, let alone seven. Another is that there was a baby born on a plane and the flight crew had to act as midwives. They managed to deliver the baby safely and the mother and baby were fine.
In many crazy first aid stories, the resourcefulness of the first aider is quite unbelievable. Like when someone used a regular pen to create a makeshift splint for a broken finger in an emergency situation. They had to MacGyver - like use the pen and some tape from a first - aid kit to keep the finger stable until proper medical help arrived. It shows that in a pinch, people can be very creative with whatever is at hand.
A school bus driver once drove the bus backwards for a short distance just to show off his skills. He made sure it was safe first, but the kids were shocked and thought it was really cool. It was like a scene from an action movie.
Well, there's the story of a parrot that could recite the entire menu of a local restaurant. It had learned it just by listening to the waiters over and over again. It was quite a shock for the customers when they first heard it.
A man once found a black widow in his car. It had made a small web near the rear - view mirror. He was shocked as he had no idea how it got there. He carefully removed it with a jar and let it go outside.
I once heard about a guy who won the lottery not once, but three times in his life. The odds of that are astronomical. He said he just had a feeling each time and bought the tickets randomly. It's like he had some sort of insane luck.
One of the most unbelievable war stories is that of Desmond Doss during World War II. Doss was a conscientious objector who refused to carry a weapon but still served as a medic. He single - handedly saved 75 soldiers on Hacksaw Ridge under heavy fire, climbing up and down the ridge multiple times to bring the wounded to safety.
