uncanniest
Strangest of all
Uncanniest is the superlative of uncanny—the most strange, unsettling, or eerily accurate.
Something uncanny provokes a sense that things aren't quite right, often because they're too perfect or too coincidental: She had the uncanniest ability to know what I was thinking.
The word suggests an almost supernatural quality to the strangeness.
