Woman creeped out after finding mysterious 'death day' in her iPhone calendar
A woman has been left seriously creeped out after she found a mysterious reminder left in her iPhone calendar.
We all use our smartphone calendars to keep track of plans throughout the month but the woman was shocked to find one very unexpected reminder lurking in her device.
Taking to social media, her partner shared a screenshot of the calendar on Reddit where on May 14, 2026, an event eerily labeled ‘my death’ was entered.

The user wrote: “My wife found her death on her calendar.. She has no idea how it got added and is creeped out. Any way to track down the source?”
Many users took to the comment thread to share their own thoughts and reactions to the post, with one person writing: “Do you guys use a voice command assistant like Alexa/Siri/Google to add stuff to calendars? Maybe she was trying to add an appointment for something else and it misheard her.”
Another said: “Does she use Siri to log reminders or dates? Because the shit Siri mishears and confidently records is commendable.”
A third person joked: “Do you have a good alibi for May 14th, 2026?”
And a fourth added: “If you're synced up to Google Calendar then literally anybody can just add anything they want to yours. Mine has been useless for the past several years because it's filled with spam invites on every date.”
It seems like this isn’t the first time a creepy incident like this has happened for iPhone users, as another person recalled online how a mishap with Siri led to their own supposed ‘death day’ being recorded on their smartphone’s calendar.
The user wrote: “I once asked Siri to ‘remind me to buy cat food tonight’. Somehow, she confidently misheard it as ‘you die’ (did she think I said "remind me to die"?) and offered to put this reminder in my calendar. Um, no, I won’t confirm, but thanks, Siri.”
This prompted a response on social media, with one person saying: “I'm laughing at this more than I should. Siri is so useless.”
Another wrote: “Real talk... I don't get it. So many times I'll ask Siri to look something up and it'll be the correct words at the bottom, from voice recognition, then completely botched on top where the search query is.”
And a third added: “Those types of devices are so horrible at that. I’ve lost track of how many times I've asked my Alexa for the weather or something and instead saying that it's 89 and sunny she will tell me who Cleopatra was or the score of some football game instead.”
