Have you ever had something happen to you that required a double take and you ended up never really being able to explain what actually happened? Perhaps you found yourself in another curiously unsettling episode of Twilight Zone? There’s a high chance that you’ve ended up with a story that even your closest friends find hard to believe. Fear not—there’s a popular community on Reddit dedicated to such stories called Glitch in the Matrix. So whether you’re after some spine-chilling stories or you need to share an uncanny experience, you have just hit the jackpot.

Some of the glitches could be explained and perhaps you could learn from them, but some of them remain a pure mystery and here is a handful of them. Let us know what you have experienced that made you question reality and maybe even your own rationality in the comments below. If these uncanny stories are your thing, you can check out our previous article here.

People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them So this actually happened last week... It just took me some time to come to terms with it... I got a phone call from my next door neighbour late in the evening asking if I can help him move a mattress into his upstairs. His mom is ill and has a big heavy sleep number bed. I of course ran over to help because they're great neighbours. I get over there and his friend, who is also a priest, was there to help. I helped them figure out how to separate the mattress from the bed so we could fit it up stairs. We get it all moved up and back in place when my neighbour asks if I can help them move an armoire upstairs too. I think nothing of it and we pull it out of his travel trailer and start bringing it up the front stairs of his house. This is where I died. The front stairs are 11 steps. I was on the lower end of the armoire about 6 steps up when my neighbour and his friend lose a handle on the armoire and it comes crashing down on me and I fall backwards towards the pavement... I then wake up in my dining room to my phone ringing and my wife asking me if I'm going to answer the phone. It's my neighbour asking me if I can help move a bed upstairs for his mom... I go over there and meet his priest friend again, as this has been the first time I met him. I say I can help with the bed but I cannot help with the armoire. My neighbour was like "how'd you know about the armoire?". I then proceeded to tell them I'm pretty sure I just died. I spent the next hour talking with the priest. He had so many questions. My neighbour didn't believe it until I described the upstairs bedroom in perfect detail down to the metal mattress frame on the floor and the intricate headboard leaning against the wall and I had never been upstairs in their house before. The priest asked me what I saw after I died. I told him I never actually died. Before it happened I woke up at my dining room table. TL;DR... I experienced my death but woke up alive about 20 minutes earlier in my life.

Do you guys know that this is a popular philosophical theory? That nobody dies, they just get sent back to another point in time before their death but the reality they were in when they died also continues, and your family in that reality is devastated.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them My mom and I were on the highway driving home, and there was a semi truck in the lane next to us. Suddenly the semi swerved in to our lane. Luckily my mom was able to get out of the way before it hit us, but soon after I began feeling strangely. The entire right side of my face felt hot and sticky, I tasted blood, and smelled the very pungent scent of gasoline. Then my head and right arm started to ache really badly, and I couldn’t feel my legs. Just as soon as the pain started to worsen, it went away, replaced with a cold eerie chill. I told my mom about this and she couldn’t come up with an explanation. I think I was feeling the pain in another timeline where my mom wasn’t able to avoid that semi.

    Short explanation for this from psychology: "psychogenic pain" or "psychalgia", The theory for this affliction is that this kind of "mind-induced physical pain" without injury can be caused by stress. (comparable to PTSD).

    Exactly. And I can describe how I've felt it long ago: I was dreaming and I saw this wall all across from right to left and wanted to know what's behind it so I climbed it. when I was touching the top (still not seeing behind it) there was a horse beneath me and I've decided to annoy it with my feet. As I annoyed the horse with my feet several things happened quickly: the horse turned to a giraffe and bite my shoulder and my mom touched my shoulder to wake me up. I swear I've felt pain. I've looked at the spot and there was nothing there, I've looked at the watch and it took about a minute to disappear. I'll never forget the experience. The dream somehow got mixed with reality and the brain somehow made me feel real physical pain. It's weird how things got mixed up in the brain in that second that caused the sensation

    This has happened to me before. A car cut in front of me and my mom to get into the other lane, but it caused my mom to almost slam into them. I could feel the impact and my whole body hurt. It was really weird. I think it's just caused by seeing what could happen and then the brain reacting, but I'm not sure.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them So, this happened about seven or eight years ago. My husband and I were laying in the bed one night, watching television. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a child in the doorway of our bedroom. Thinking it was our only child at the time, I tapped my hubby and said “Hey, shhhh b look, but I think Connor is going to try to scare us ! He turns and looks and this child walked into our room. I can’t explain it, bc it was one of those moments that seemed ... somehow different. We watched in silence, soon realizing that this child was NOT out son. He toddles in, head slightly tilted back, curls bouncing and diaper squish squishing as he goes to the end of our bed.. we see his head go down (like he was crouching) and when we got up to look- he was gone. I looked at chris (my husband) and said “ Did we just see a ghost?!” Then, almost as an after thought, I said “well, we know if we have another baby, and he has curls, that he was here before he was born.” We both laugh, bc We were not trying for another baby at the time. Fascinated, we go to check on our son, and he was fast asleep. A few months later.. I’m pregnant. (Surprise!) So fast forward aNd our new baby, Liam, is two. He toddles in the room, head titled slightly back and curls bouncing, and it hit me like a bucket of ice water.. holy crap, this is the baby that came to visit us! I mean, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind.. now, on top of that, whenever Liam is staying the night elsewhere (like with my parents) he comes to visit me in my sleep .. for example- one time he came and just smiled at me while I was taking a nap.. He was in a little red shirt, and his hair was cut short (he left with it long) the next day I go to pick the kiddos up from mom, and lo and behold- his hair is freshly shorn and he is wearing a little red shirt. I asked my mom “did he wear this yesterday?” And she replies “oh, yeah he did, but he insisted on wearing it today, so he is..”. So, I look at him and say “did you go see momma yesterday in mommas dreams” he just looked at me (he was four) all big blue eyes and serious, and nodded his head. So that’s my glitch in the matrix story. One of many, but the most profound. Our son, I guess, travels astral, and even stopped to see us before he was born. I would know those curls anywhere. the fact that my husband witnessed it with me makes it even more weird, but utterly fascinating. Thanks for reading and forgive typos please ❤️❤️

    I've had a similar experience. My dad died in 1986 about 3 weeks before I turned 13. I always say I was a daddy's girl to the extreme. He was disabled due to a heart condition so he was the one who I was closest to. He spoiled me with his time and attention. Fast forward to 1995 and I'm pregnant with my second child. It wasn't the easiest pregnancy and I'd been thinking about my dad, wondering if he would be proud of me and how much he would have loved my kids. I went to bed one night and he visited me in my dream. I was in the hospital and he comes walking in to my room holding my almost 2 year old's hand. And carrying my newborn baby. He tells me that everything is going to e ok and not to worry. He told me my kids were beautiful and he was always proud of me and would be with me always. When I woke up the next morning I had this feeling of calmness and peace. It might have been just a dream but I've never had dreams about my dad, not before and not since. Its still a comfort to me n

    Very young children's psyches are so mysterious. When my son was very small, between 18 and 30 months old, he regularly used to reference his "other Mummy". I'd suggest to him, "oh you mean Nanna?" as my mother used to take care of him occasionally to give me a break; but, No, he was most insistent, "my other Mummy - the one before I came here!"... bcos he was so little, he'd get frustrated that he didn't have the words to explain it properly... But I've no doubt if he could have done, he'd have told me stuff that woulda blown my mind....

    In the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we believe everyone existed before they were born. I’ve heard lots of these stories. One happened to my wife before we were married, she heard a baby cry and then my voice say, I’ll go get it. I wasn’t there and it was the day after our third date. I honestly believe the afterlife is real and everyone who has ever lived is going to a heaven that fits them best. It’s al about love.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them So I work for a joinery company and was delivering a load to a construction site about an hour away from work, and whenever I'm out and about, I just play reddit compilation videos through my headphones. I was about 8 minutes into a video when in the middle of the town at a red light, with a bad feeling of deja vu. the video started buffering. I thought it was odd since I had good reception but was just going to wait it out. The light went green, and the video played just long enough to say the word "wait" and started buffering again. I couldn't see anything at all, The road was clear, but I thought I'd listen, looked left, then right again and there was a massive semi at Speed that appeared out of nowhere and ran the red light. It would have taken out the drivers side of the cab, and I'd have been toast if I didn't wait. Definitely reminded me of my own mortality.

    Since people don’t get it: these sorts of videos don’t have anything to actually *watch*. They had most likely wireless headphones in and were only listening to the video- sort of like listening to the radio or a podcast while driving. Their eyes would not be on the video. Proof: I listen to these sorts of videos sometimes.

    That also happened to ME! About a year after my dad died my phone rang. But the ring was a bit funny. When I answered it, it was static-y but I could make out my father's voice in the static. He told me, "I'm ok" and he also told me that I am going to be ok. I was so freaked out. I asked him where he was but I didn't hear anything but static. Then once again, but further away sounding, I heard "You are going to be just fine."

    My Dad died 25 years ago, my Mom passed away 15 years later. For a long time after Dad died, Mom was great, but when her health started to go downhill a bit, she lost some of her optimistic outlook. She also just really missed him. Our extended family never knew that Mom was depressed until a couple of years before she died. She put on this big show of "everything's fine" -- and fooled most everyone -- except my four siblings and myself. Right around the time we lost Mom, one of my paternal aunts told me how one day she was in the kitchen, doing something, turned around, and there was my Dad. More than 10 years after his memorial. He begged her to talk to my Mom, to tell her that he was okay. He said he'd been trying to tell her that he was fine, to stop worrying about him, but Mom wasn't listening to him. Then he disappeared. At the time of this incident, Mom's mental state was not good, even though my aunt didn't know it. I have no way to explain any of this, either.

    A lot of this paranormal happens late at night. It's possible that your father was sleeping or half-asleep and pick-up the phone and the brain mixed reality with dream. The person may have hung up, understanding it was a wrong number... It could be a friend who wanted to cheer up Heather, etc.

    I had a dream like that about my half-brother's male partner, my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law was laying on a hospital bed covered by a beige blanket with two horizontal royal blue stipes and he was wearing a navy blue t-shirt. He told me he was going on a one way trip and that he would call my half-brother when he left and when he arrived. At his memorial, he was laying on a hospital bed, covered by a beige blanket with two horizontal royal blue stripes, and wearing a navy blue t-shirt. A few days later, my half-brother told me his phone rang twice and each time there was NO number and no one on the line!

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them Three days ago I was having conversation with my father and he was telling me about his university life. Basically my dad came from nothing, he had a very difficult up bringing and went to the worst school and high school in our city. When it was time for him to join university, my grandfather passed away leaving my dad to take care for the rest of the family as he was the oldest son. He took a wrong a major because of the wrong advices of the people and how he regrets that to this day. The courses were taught in English which is a second language for us and how he didn't even know the language. My dad told me that it was the darkest times in his life and he just wanted to run away and was even thinking of taking his own life. Now very recently he got his masters in English literature and he was telling me that he didn't think it would be ever possible for him. My dad just recently finished this degree at an age of 55. The next morning my dad had to drive to this town because his distant relatives live there and they are struggling financially, my dad is very a kind soul and he wanted to help them . The town is 3 hours drive away. He usually takes public transport but didn't because of recent crisis. He drove there and my mom was worried so we decided we will keep calling him after every hour to check. Well i decided to call him , now keep in mind because it's highway network signals get very weak. He told me to wait and parked at a nearby restaurant it was like a check point for trucks. I don't know what came over me but I started crying and went on to tell him how proud i was of him, i just babbled and kept saying that he shouldn't think he is lacking because he is not. He was an amazing father and a great person to look up to. You guys my dad started crying he told me that he will talk to me when he returns. Well he returned and he just hugged me and was telling me that how 30 years ago he was visiting the same town and it was the time when he was at his lowest. He was visiting the same relatives and he was in a bus which stopped at a petrol station. He called his mother and when he picked the phone without even dialling he heard my voice. It was me telling him the exact same thing which I just said yesterday. He said that he didn't even called my grandmother, he just stood there and cried. It gave him strength to keep fighting. He said he just now realized it was me whose voice he heard. My parents are now taking this as sign from God who helped my dad when he thought no one was there for him.

    This is actually a phenomenon that has been known to happen. I can't remember the exact name of it, but people have reported this happening. Posters on walls changing, blankets changing, hair changing, etc.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them This technically happened last night, but I was just starting a graveyard shift and am only now getting it all down. I work at a gas station chain with only numbers in its name. We're just outside of a large chunk of suburbs- none if that "middle of nowhere", like we aren't exactly near any other businesses but we are rarely completely dead for hours at a time. It was just past midnight, and with everything going on in the US right now not a lot of things other than gas stations and bars are open at night anymore so it was a slower evening. I was the only one in the store and a car pulled up to one if the 2 double-sided pumps out front. Pretty standard white four door. I'm not great with car brands but it was a little nicer, like upper middle class and probably only a few years old. A woman gets out and starts walking towards our door like she's in a daze. Legit this woman looked like she saw a ghost. She wanders up, sort of freezes at the door for a second with a thousand yard stare before opening it and coming in. She didn't go looking for anything, didn't start shopping, just sort of stood inside for what felt like ages. Again, bars are still open so I think maybe she's a little drunk or had a rough night or something so I give the usual "Welcome to 'gas station' let me know if you need any help finding anything" and she finally notices me and immediately asks me the weirdest damn question I have ever been asked on the job. "You can see me right?" "Yeah". Like what else do you say? She breaks down crying in the middle of my store so I'm already headed around the corner to see what's up. I have my cellphone out incase I need to call the cops or something for her. I get her to sit down on a nearby pallet of soda and I'm grabbing her a bottle of water and after she catches her breath a little she tells me "I thought I had died". Again I'm thinking maybe she is on something but she's a middle aged woman who looks like a standard local suburban housewife. We're a pretty boring township without your average junkies like you'd find closer to the cities. So she asks if she can call her husband to pick her up and wait with me. She has her own phone and does so, not really telling him anything either just where she is at and if he can come get her. He says he'll call an uber and be there as soon as possible. We're waiting, so far nobody else has showed up, so I'm keeping most of my attention on her- and eventually she starts to explain to me- "I was driving home from dinner with my coworkers and as I'm driving through (nearby intersection I recognized) a truck ran a redlight and hit me." Now, her car is still at the pump without a scratch on it. She goes on to say she remembers her car being pushed into a pole, going airborne, and then nothing. I tried to calm her down letting her know that her car is out front and it looks fine, but she insisted that she completely blacked out, woke up in an ambulance for a split second, passed out again, and then woke up again in the driver seat of her car- at the intersection waiting for the light to change, perfectly fine. This whole thing freaked her out so badly that she drove to the nearest anything (us) just so she could get out of the car. Husband eventually showed up to get her. He asked if I had any idea what happened and even though she sort of explained to me I just shrugged because no, I had no idea what was happening anymore. She reluctantly got into the passenger seat of the car and he drove them back home. That was hours ago, after which I worked an entire shift at the station trying to wrap my head around what the absolute hell I had just witnessed.

    I used to think that the whole ''Parallel universes'' thing had been invented by sci-fi writers but turns out that the writers stole the ides from scientists working on a minor aspect of Relativity Theory. The scientists claim that parallel universes are entirely real and my take on why experiences like the one you describe don't happen more often is that we simply filter them out, as in ''It didn,t happen because I didn't notice it''.

    From psychology: most likely causes for visual hallucinations: chemically induced hallucinations (drugs/alcohol), minor brain seizure or brain tumor, epilepsy, or schizophrenic episode (caused by among others: schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, PTSD, severe depression,...). Advice from a psychologist in training: She should get a brain scan and a blood test to rule out the physical causes.

    She had a (semi-) waking dream. Many people drive when tired and have what are called "micro-sleeps" - especially in momentary pauses in needing to focus on their driving, like stop signs, traffic lights, and intersections... I think her unconscious mind was giving her an urgent warning of what could very well happen if she didn't stop driving immediately : ie, a terrible accident, from falling asleep at the wheel.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them I am a bit shocked. I had a very good friend who crafted small jewellery and I have a few pieces from her. I got a pair of earrings more than 8 years ago and lost one of it after wearing them just a couple of times. I always told her she had to craft a replacement but unfortunately she got very sick and died of cancer very quickly, she never had the chance to craft anything else. I kept the single earring in a little box with some other small random memories and trinkets. I am now moving to my own place and checking the memories in this little box, both earrings are there and I can’t explain when or how or why. Probably in other universe my own me lost the unique earring she had.

    Oh something similar happened to me. My grandma gave me pearl earrings that were my late great Grandmother's, and I never wore them because I was afraid to loose them. then one day we went to a resturant, I decided to wear them because they matched perfectly with my dress. I forgot to take them out... and the next day we were going on a camping trip. in the camper I realized I still had them in and wanted to put it in my suitecase. and when I tried to take them out, one was missing. I freazed out and looked all over the camper and in the campsite. but I had to face it, it was gone. we came back home after 2 weeks and there it was! on my dresser! I was so confused but so happy. I knew I didn't take them out, and its not like it fell off in perfect place on my dresser. But it was amazing. Anyways im glad you got your earring back :)

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them I dropped my phone in the kitchen and I looked to grab it off of the floor but it wasn’t there. I heard it hit the floor but I couldn’t find it. It was in the middle of the room too, there was no way it could’ve gone more than 3 feet away from me. I checked under everything and went through the entire house looking for it but it was gone. I had my mom call my phone and it said that my line was disconnected. I checked the Find My IPhone app and it said it couldn’t find my phone because it couldn’t find a signal. That was 4 years ago, and we still haven’t found it. It’s like it hit the ground and immediately disappeared afterwards.

    Omg that happened to me. I was cleaning out my small-ish fish tank in the kitchen. I transferred the fish into a bowl and put the plastic lid of the fish tank over the bowl. once I cleaned it I went to put the fish back into the tank and one of the fish was missing. I had three small fish and I was stunned that one disappeared. It couldn't have escaped because the lid was on top of the bowl. it couldn't have gone down the drain in the sink because It had the plug in. I looked everywhere and moved everything, even the stove as I thought it could have fallen down the side of it, but it was gone. I had to give up and thought that one day I'll probably come across a tiny dried up fish in my kitchen but still to this day it's never been found.

    I also have (or better said, had), a phone that totally disappeared one day and has never been to be found again. My parents long thought that I had lost it in school or that someone might have stolen it from me, but I'm sure it just vanished overnight as I had it at home in my room. Maybe the same thing happened to both phones.

    This happened with my son's tablet! He didn't use it daily so we didn't know exactly when it had gone missing but was just gone. No trackers or pings worked. I finally gave up thinking perhaps it was hidden in a car we had already sold a few weeks back. Fast forward 3 years. YEARS. I go out the front door and notice a reflection in the bushes next to our house. It's the tablet, about 4 inches into the shrub in perfect working order. We'd trimmed those bushes and planted underneath them - no way we could have missed it. Plugged it in and it charged up and worked fine except for one corner of the screen having no color.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them My husband recently took an overnights job to help us out during covid. He's only been there about two weeks and works evenings/overnights, 9pm-6am. Last night was no different, he left home around 8:15pm. Our daughter, age 11, and I decided to make it a movie night. Around 11pm, I heard keys in my backdoor and the usual sounds my husband makes when he comes home. I creep out to the kitchen to make sure it was him, and it was. He told me he needed to grab his knee compression sleeve, walks down the hall, says hi to our daughter as he passes the living room, and goes upstairs. He came back down, gave me a kiss and left again. We finished our movie and went to bed. In the morning when he got home I made a joking comment about him forgetting his knee sleeve. He was genuinely confused as I recalled the previous night. Our daughter confirmed everything I said and he still was acting confused. I pulled up our security motion camera on my phone to show him when he popped in quick. But there was no footage from the night before, or any other night, of him coming home after he's left for work. My daughter and I both heard him, saw him, and I touched him. But he was never home during that time. Nothing else out of the ordinary happened that night. We seriously have no idea what happened.

    I'm Norwegian and in my culture (especially in the north) we have something called vardøgr (also called vardyvle or vardyger in other Scandinavian countries). This is the phenomenon of hearing or seeing someone coming home before they actually do. It's known as a spirit predecessor, and growing up in the north this was a common thing, nothing no one felt scared or anxious about. Quite the opposite, it was something that would reassure the ones waiting for someone, or thinking about someone, that their loved ones would come home safe. I think this was a vardøgr.

    I have had similar happen. When I was 15, my friend stayed over night and we were laying on my bed talking. Saw lights come down the driveway. You could hear the gravel under the tires. The car engine stopped. And the car door shut, keys jingling, could see a man wearing a fedoras shadow pass by the shades on my window. Heard the screen door open and the keys being put in the lock. Then nothing. Scared the crap out of us and we crept under the windows to the door and peaked out. No man, no car no dad. We did not go to sleep until my dad actually walked in.

    Vardøger, also known as vardyvle or vardyger, is a spirit predecessor in Scandinavian folklore.[1] Stories typically include instances that are nearly déjà vu in substance, but in reverse, where a spirit with the subject's footsteps, voice, scent, or appearance and overall demeanor precedes them in a location or activity, resulting in witnesses believing they've seen or heard the actual person before the person physically arrives. This bears a subtle difference from a doppelgänger, with a less sinister connotation. It has been likened to being a phantom double, or form of bilocation.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them About 30 seconds ago I was sitting on the couch, as my dog walked by to go sit on her bed we have behind the “L” part of the sectional. She had something small caught in her throat last night, I think a popcorn shell, so I was paying attention to her breathing just to make sure she got it out. For a few minutes she was breathing fine, and then what sounded like a light snore started happening. This is semi-normal for her depending on what position she’s laying in, so I didn’t bother to go over and check on her. That went on for about 5 minutes, until the most disgusting(and to my now realization, terrifying) snore/cough/wheezing sound started happening. I go over to her to make sure she’s okay, and the exact moment I looked at her bed the sound stoped ‘mid-breath’ and she wasn’t there. She was outside with my parents, had been for around 30 minutes. There’s no way to get out of the room without walking right past me. I don’t know who’s fucking dog I saw, and what was making that creepy ass sound 5 feet away from me, but I’m going to be staying outside for the rest of the day and hiring an exorcist.

    You may have experienced a form of alpdream: you maybe skeptisch away for a moment and mistook your own breathing and the moment you woke up for her snoring and the horrible Sound. Happened to me a few times: I was sleeping in my locked room when I heard someone breathing in the room, then someone tried to strangle me, but I couldn't move - Was my own breathing, combined with heavy stress and sleep Paralysis I found out a few years later. @_@

Me(trying to play along)- yeah.she is probably married by now. Bro(visibly confused)- now what nisha are you talking about??? Me-exactly the nisha you are talking about.. Bro-leave it then.. Me-yeah.. After 30 or so minutes after lunch is over Bro-do you really not remember her?nisha? Me(tired of this game,agitated)- bro stop this game it's not funny anymore.i am tired of this stupid game. Bro-what game ? Me-i don't really know nisha.who is she? Bro-forget it. And he left for the day... I asked mom after few days about nisha.she was distraught when i asked about her.after few mon she told me that she was my gf while i was in school.she was my brothers best friend. she died in a car accident few years back. I was dumbfounded.i don't even recall her name,face,memory .nothing.. Her memory is totally wiped out from me. I was disturbed and went back to home where mom showed me a pic where i was with a girl and my brother.i don't even remember the girl. In some cases of ptsd selective amnesia happens.but that repressed memory can be triggered by related memory.but in this case i didn't even recall her.i was agitated because i don't remember her. Till this day i don't recall anything.according to family, we were close.i didn't try to ask her family or any other people because it seems insensitive..

    PTSD-induced amnesia can cause you to literally just forget one person or event

    Partial amnesia exists. Look it up, it allows someone to forget an event or a person completely from trauma I believe.

    I have to comment on this, because something similar has happened to me at least a few times. One of my friends got beaten to death when I was 16. I can't recall any memories with him - None. I know I spent time with him and I remember being devastated about him being killed, but my mind has erased all the memories of him.

    And another similar thing... I met my ex-girlfriend (we're both women) few years after the end of our relationship. We were sitting in a park and this one man walked near us and my ex got super anxious and almost enraged. I asked why she got so anxious and who the guy was. She looked at me in disbelief. I was sure I had never seen the guy. I had no idea who he was. It was clear that the guy had done something horrible - something that I should have remembered. Almost five years after that incident I began to have vivid, extremely physical flashbacks of sexual violence. The guy I saw at the park had raped me when I was a teenager, but I had no other memories of the violence except the ones that were stored in my body as physical sensations and pains.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them Do you guys know the whole theory about how when people die in one time line, they shift into another? I think that may have happened to me. Back in early July of this year, my family (M45, F54, Me:19, B16), S(13) were going on a road trip to Montana to visit our grandparents. Prior to the trip, I had a horrible, horrible feeling about going. I kept having flashes of car accidents in my head, and I was sure that we were going to get in one if we left. It was so strange, because I have a pretty severe anxiety disorder, but this didn’t feel like my anxiety at all, and I never have anxiety about road trips: I love them!! So we left Saturday of that week, I had told my parents I had a bad feeling about driving up there, but they dismissed me as being anxious, but I had never felt so certain about something in my life. Getting into that car felt like signing my death sentence. So we get about 6 hours in, and at this point, I start to think I was being ridiculous, and a wave of calmness just washes over me. This is where shit gets strange. My dad passes an underpass and everything just shifts. I feel like I saw everything in slow motion for a whole 4 or so minutes. My parents were joking beforehand, but their faces moved so slowly, and then the light in the car started to shift. This was the scary part because I thought I must have been going insane. For a few seconds, there was a huge illumination of light into our car, and I looked at my family, and could not tell who they were or what they meant to me. And then it’s like everything just came back. The light shifted back, and I knew who everyone was, but it felt like something imperceptible had changed. I closed my eyes and tried to make sense of the past few minutes, and when I reached back to remember; I saw blood, our car and another minivan in shambles on the side of the highway right beyond the underpass, and mangled bodies. I remembered sensations I should not have known: what spattered brain matter looks like, the smell of something burning, the way I couldn’t breathe. But this never happened? Yet I remember that the car in front of us had switched lanes even though there was a truck in front of us, realized it at the last second, and hit us with a lateral impact. I have no history of psychosis, and I have never been in any sort of car accident. This wasn’t PTSD, and I have never had anxiety over being in the car in any sort of way prior to this. And maybe I could have just brushed it off, but I still think about it when I’m driving in my own car. And it’s made me a more cautious driver. I don’t know what happened, it was just a weird situation, and I remember having the distinct feeling in that moment that I had died in some sense. I am not a spiritually sensitive person by any means, I am a scientist at heart, but this truly was something I cannot explain. And I fully accept that I might be reading to much into this, and for some reason, I imagined an event that never happened, but I thought I would share anyway.

    I would love to reply to Maya keep up the curiosity there is room for faith and science. Just be safe while you live with your parents, I know this going to sound like an impossibility right now but you will get to a place in your life where you don't need to worry so much about your parents opinions and them relatiating against you for your differing opinions.

    The more people that share the less alone I feel when it comes to weird experiences. We see time as linear and I think some people are able to comprehend it in other ways and that is why these experiences happen to those that can see time differently. Just think that we can't grasp it fully or even control it.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them This is my first post, so bear with me, but after reading many other glitch stories, I wanted to share mine here. In early December 2015, my now ex-boyfriend’s mother passed away in the home following surgery and other health problems related to her heart (she was born with a rare condition). Unfortunately she went into cardiac arrest and we were unable to save her, so the event in and of itself was extremely traumatic and unexpected. A couple of nights later, we decided to go see some friends who wanted to offer their condolences to my ex; everyone loved his mom. We were all sitting in our friends’ living room watching tv and, to be honest, they were really trying to distract us from everything. One friend was just being her goofy self and I was taking Snapchat videos and I DISTINCTLY remember taking a video of (let’s call her) Amy... I saved the video, but when I looked at my screen to watch it, it was not Amy.... it was a grainy video with a background that appeared to be outside and 100000% not in a living room, but on the screen was my ex’s mom... She said the words, “I’m okay baby. I’m okay” and multiple other friends saw it on my phone before it disappeared. She looked young and vibrant and has a huge smile on her face. Someone had tossed my phone to another friend across the couch to see and the video then disappeared. When we watched the original video back immediately after, my ex’s mom was gone. It was Amy in the video again just like I saw it while recording it in the first place. My ex and his mom had a very close relationship, best friends really, so when we saw her on my screen letting him know she was okay... it was astounding. I saw it first and everyone noticed i was visibly upset. I cannot imagine what went through my ex’s mind and heart when he saw that, but to this day, it’s something we talk about and something he shares with new friends... something we simply cannot explain other than her coming thru in a glitch to let us know she was okay.

    I finally took my mother's furniture to my house after a while when she died, and I really broke down because that was the real proof that she was gone. I cried and cried when suddenly I felt her hand on my shoulder and in my head I heard her say, Don't cry, I'm all right! and I felt so calm afterwards.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them Me (M26) and my girlfriend (F25) have been living together in an apartment for two and a half years. Everything has been normal until quarantine started (around 4 weeks ago), when I started noticing some odd things. For instance, for the last three weeks or so, my GF has been putting sugar in her morning coffee, while throughout our entire relationship she's always been very much against it. It may seem like a small detail, but she's always been complaining about how I don't know what real coffee is since I put quite a lot of sugar. On the first day that I saw her drinking coffee with sugar I asked her why would she do that, and she looked at me weirded out and said something like "What are you talking about? I've always been putting sugar in my coffee". I felt a bit confused for a moment but then we started talking about some other things, so I didn't think anymore about it until the morning after, when she did the exactly same thing, and had once again the same reaction. Fast forward a few days and another odd thing happened. We were having sex and she suddenly suggested a sex pose that we had already tried once, but it had gone wrong and it hurt her a lot so we had simply decided not to try it anymore. Naturally, I was very surprised with her suggestion, and reminded her about the time when it went wrong, and she just completely dismissed it, saying that i probably mixed her up with some ex-girlfriend or that I was just tripping. We then did the pose and we actually enjoyed it. Today, the weirdest thing happened, which is the reason I'm writing this post. In the afternoon, I was working at home (I'm employed as a PhD student at the computer science department of a university), when my gf asked me what's up with a guy who I've never heard of before. I asked her who is she referring to and she said "Well, it's that colleague of yours who you always talk about, the one from the company where you are employed at". I froze, and asked her to repeat, and she said the exactly same thing all over again. Then I told her that I don't work at any company nor have I ever worked at any company, since I started a PhD straight after my Master degree. At this point, she also completely froze and we were just staring at each other completely confused and shocked for a few moments. She then asked me wtf is going on and I reminded her about the coffee thing and about the sex pose and that I don't know anymore what is going on. At this point, she started crying too and asked what is wrong with us. Nor she, nor me nor anyone in both families have ever had any mental problems in the past. We don't know what to do about this. Can anyone explain what's wrong with us?

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them I live in a very small town. We have a small grocery store, hardware store, you know the drill. I was done getting groceries and hopped in my car to head home. As I pulled up to the end of the driveway of the store, blinker on to get onto the main road, I see a big, white, lifted Chevy pickup driving toward me that I need to wait for. I watch it as drives closer to me, remarking to myself that it looks so similar to my husband's, just older and rusted around the edges. It even has the same black emblem and large iron cross bumper. As the truck goes past me my jaw nearly fell open. Staring at me intently was a man almost identical to my husband... but with a longer, greying beard, and grey hair around the ears. I quickly gathered myself together and pulled out behind the truck and up to the stop sign that followed. He was staring at me still in his side mirror. Glancing away and then staring at me again. He took off like a shot the first chance he got, and I tried to follow to see which direction he took, but a car was coming and I couldn't get out behind him in time. The truck sped off toward my road, but I don't know if he turned in that direction or not. I know that's a little crazy, but I couldn't help feeling the total connection I feel with my husband when I saw his reflection in that side mirror staring at me. It gives me goosebumps to think about it because it was like he knew that I was me, and I was the wrong age, and that he needed to get out of there before i could follow. I got home and my husband was there, working in his woodshop. I told him about it and he chuckled and asked if he looked hot when he was old. I mean.... he did if it was really him!

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them So mobile alert . This happened two days ago. I was at my home because of quarantine and according to me i was sleeping. When i woke up my mom was looking at me having a very shocked and worried expression and tears in her eyes. She asked me where the hell i was and i said that i was sleeping right here in my bed. She didn't believe me said she checked and i wasn't there. So apparently, my family woke up in the morning and i didn't come for breakfast, my dad came into my room and just saw the blanket and pillow (i do sleep with blanket on face). Then my mom came to wake me up and took the blanket off no one was there . Then she panicked and told my dad. They searched the entire house and tried calling me nothing worked. Then they asked the neighbours if they had seen me leaving but neighbours couldn't help as well. My mom was very afraid at that point and they called the police and that's when my dad had went to file the report and i woke up. We called my dad and told him i was back and he wanted an explanation and I couldn't give one. I said i was just sleeping and then i woke up and this whole thing has happened. I wanted to make it clear that i do sleep with blanket covering my entire body and my mom did made it clear that she took the blanket off and no one was there. We all are very shaken rn.

    This is just what I think of, but yeah: You may have been sleep walking around the house in different parts of your home than where your parents were searching for you. From my understanding, you can only sleep walk and sleep talk when you're in a state near or in REM sleep, so when they called for you, you didn't wake up or simply didn't hear them. Then, when you were nearing your end of REM sleep, you returned to your bed and under your blankets the way you sleep in them. And, of course, the neighbors didn't see you because you were in your house the whole time.

    Everyone saying it was sleep walking - surely the parents would have searched the whole house before filing a police report, no?

    It actually says they looked for the OP in the house, so the sleepwalking explanation doesn't really hold up

    I believe you WERE in the bed when your Mom looked. It happened to me one day when visiting my folks. We could not find my 4yro daughter. We searched the house getting frantic. Several of us looked in the spare bedroom and moved blankets on the bed but did not see her. Continuing to search, I found myself back in the room & pulled the blankets/pillows OFF the bed. There she was, curled up and sound asleep. *Did your mother/someone go back and thoroughly check the bed?

    Either that, or the person really did sneak out, then double down on their story of “I really was here all the time!” “ See, I’m even writing up a post about how strange and creepy it was!” But that just feels way too cynical.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them Let me preface this by saying there has always been creepy shit happening around me and I have several stories of my Dad's old house which myself and my siblings all agree is haunted as fuck. I also had my dead best friend visit me twice which was nice. So this evening, my partner (42 M) and I (30 F) were upstairs sorting laundry, when his daughter (17) called us downstairs as dinner was ready. I was heading down the stairs, my partner right behind me, literally two steps behind me. He did his usual thing of tickling the back of my neck as we walked. The bottom of our stairs is wooden so you can hear when somebody steps onto it from the carpeted stairs. When we got to the bottom, my feet hit the floor as usual. I turned to ask him something and he wasn't there. He wasn't fucking there. I totally froze for a second and looked up the stairs and there he was. On the top step, pale and shaking. Asked him what the fuck just happened and he kept saying "I don't know, I don't know, I was behind you and before I hit the bottom, the next step took me back upstairs!" We are very freaked out. Didn't say shit to our girl as she is already leery of this stuff although he and I are somewhat used to it. I am trying to get the courage to leave my laptop recording audio overnight because there definitely is SOMETHING weird happening. EDITED TO ADD I was JUST talking to my partner about the jump while we were cleaning our bedroom and the second he made a joke about "Spooks A-Poppin'" our bedroom door and bathroom door just slammed shut one after the other. I'm chalking it up to our bedroom window being open a crack...I don't want to think of alternatives. FURTHER UPDATE To the people messaging me saying my relationship is "yikes" and to join certain subs (Female Dating Strategy) I appreciate the concern. To the other eejit who messaged calling my partner a sexual deviant, kindly relax and focus in your own relationship, if you have one. We are together 11years. I'm second Mom to the kids. Not every relationship with an age gap is abusive. Not every relationship with an age gap is coercive. I love him and the kids more than anything, and I would DO anything for my family. So please, I appreciate the concern, but don't assume he is abusive or that I was "groomed" as one lovely person messaged. And finally, to the person who asked me why I would want to be "fake Mom" to his kids- I'm sorry that's how you view my life from this one small snippet I posted and I hope you are content in your own life.

    I know. I was reading her addenda trying to figure what had even struck people as weird. I mean if you're 18 and he's 30 then yeah that's quite an age gap because you're at completely different stages in your life. But when the couple are 30 and 42 that's the same generation and the same approximate stage in life. Not even going to touch the screwed up opinions some people commenting to her clearly have on blended families.

    Okay, I have to interject...there was a 12 year age difference between my mother and father, whose marriage lasted 35 years (until he passed away), and there was a 12-year difference between myself and my husband, whose marriage lasted 30 years (until he passed away). So, don't let eejits disturb your peace or your happiness. After all, it's nobody's business but yours.

    I was permanently barred from the professional services of a massage therapist for the following: Lying on he table too relaxed to think, I noticed a second pair of hands massaging my left arm while she continued to work on the right. Then my mind popped into gear real quick because obviously massage therapists don't have two pairs of hands. I looked to my left and, predictably, there was no one there. At the end of the session, she simply said she never wanted to see me again because my money wasn't worth the distress this incident had caused her.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them Back story, this is important later: for about 9 months or so I was planning to move to California last September. Plans fell through do to financial reasons and other opportunities had come my way. This happened to me while I was at work closing, so I was completely alone. A customer came in, he was maybe in his early 60’s (I’m 21). I wouldn’t say he looked like me, But he was definitely dressed similar to me, and that’s how I’d expect myself to dress at that age. Kinda old man surfy SoCal vibes. But this guy says “man I need some caffeine, I know it’s late but I’ve been consuming that stuff daily since I was a little kid.” I told him “ME TOO! Since I was about 8 I started drinking coffee” which is a fact about me. This guy continues to talk about how he loves the music I was playing in the store, etc. Then out of the blue this guy says “so I have to ask, why’d you choose not to move to California?”.... I did not mention California to this man at all, I have never met this man, I don’t know who he is or how he knew. None of my coworkers, or really anyone beside my family knew about my plans for California. I served him his drink, and as he walked out he said “you’ll go, maybe not now, but you love that place”... Again, I never spoke about California to him, but he knew I was planning to move there and he knew I loved that place. He walked out and I have not seen him since. I asked my parents and anyone who knew about my plans if they had told anyone, more specifically an older man. They all said no per my request to keep it on the down low. To this day I am still in awe.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them For a bit of context, my eyesight is horrible, even half a foot in front of my face is nothing but blurry color. Yesterday my mom and brother picked me up to go to an appointment. I was running a little late, so didn’t have time to put my contacts in/ do my makeup and was getting ready on the drive. So while mom was driving I was in the passenger seat with the mirror down. I took off my glasses to apply my eyeshadow. My brother, who was sitting behind me, asked me a question and I turned to look back at him. When I turned my head back around, I quickly finished my eyeshadow and shut the mirror. I was looking out my window at the farmland just off the road and thinking how beautiful it was when I suddenly realized that I hadn’t put my glasses back on, they were sitting on the dashboard. As soon as I had the realization, my perfect vision went back to being just blurred colors. It was instant, like flipping a switch on my sight. It was so shocking that I yelled “Holy shit!” My outburst startled my mom and brother, so I told them what had just happened and they said they believed me but couldn’t think of a rational reason for it. We tried to figure it out for the rest of the drive but honestly couldn’t. Tbh, if there’s some secret to magically fixing my eyesight that I accidentally stumbled upon, then I wish I could find it again!

    Maybe the brain forgot for a moment that it couldn't see perfectly... I've heard (have no source, might be modern legend stuff) about people with dementia that suddenly don't need glasses... my grandma ran like 15 meters once before my mum reminded her that she forgot her walking aid 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Oh it’s possible, though only phenomenally so. If you can be distracted enough from one pain for instance, your mind can call it off. Positioning ones eye lids for squinting in just particular way can change a persons vision - or moving the eye muscles in a specific way... and since she’s practically blind, even 20/40 vision would be a drastic improvement for her.

    I’ve had something similar happen to me once, I remember being in a rush one morning and I completely forgot my glasses. (Mind you my eyes are worse than this person, my hand in front of my face is slightly blurry without glasses.) And I had completely gone downstairs and greeted my mom and she said I forgot my glasses. Up until that point everything had seemed crystal clear, but it went back to it being blurry in no time. This happens a lot where I feel I’m seeing clear in the shower but the minute if focus everything’s blurry. I chalk it up to I’ve memorized my surroundings with glasses and that translates into my brain sometimes.

    I have a problem that requires me to wear a patch over my dominant eye from time to time. It can be very disorienting because my brain often tries to fill in the image gap, making it seem as if I can see with my eye while it has a patch over it. I suspect what she was "seeing" was just what her brain thought she should be seeing.

    I've had a similar vision occurrence. One of my eyes I have good distance vision and the other good closeup vision. So if I close my distance eye everything gets blurry, close the other distance vision is clear. I had a three day period once where everything was swapped I had distance vision clear with the wrong eye and vice versa.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them This just happened, and my heart is still beating like crazy. I was chilling on the couch, scrolling through instagram, when I heard my cat jumping down from his bed. He usually wants to go outside after sleeping, so I looked at him and said «you wanna go outside, buddy?» with my annoying cat-voice. He just looked at me, not answering, like a normal cat. I was ready to go let him out, but looked back at my phone for just a second. That’s when it hit me. I let him outside a few hours ago. I turned my head to look back at him in confusion, but he wasnt there. I went to the front door, and yep, he was outside and came running when I opened the door. I have no idea what just happened

    I had a relationship with a woman years ago, we were living together and we had three cats. One male and two females. I was particularly bonded with the male cat. Than I moved alone to another country e we broke up just after that, but she kept the cats. Once I dreamt the male cat come to visit me in my dream, head bumping me and so on as he used to do. It felt different from normal dreams and it felt quite real. The day after I text my ex mentioning about the dream and she replied saying that indeed he spent the night sleeping on my old pillow. After that it had happened just another time few month later.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them This happened a few days ago. My husband and I were at home, neither of us were intoxicated etc, just a normal evening. For reference, I'm 5'8" and my husband is 5'7"; we've been together for years and know very well what the other looks like head on. I had gone to the kitchen to make a sandwich, and something felt off. I wasn't sure what until my husband asked if I was taller than usual. I was flat footed and barefoot, but realized my viewpoint was as if I was on my tiptoes - I could see the top of the fridge, and my hips were above the kitchen counter. I turned to face my husband and he seemed much shorter to me than usual; our eyes are usually pretty close to even but they seemed much lower than mine. He says he felt like his height didn't change at all, just mine. Understandably, we were both freaked out and were wandering around our apartment trying to figure out what was going on. Suddenly, everything felt right again and I returned to the kitchen; I could no longer see the top of the fridge and the counter was back even with my hips. My husband returned, and both of us looked "right" again to the other. It was like once we couldn't see each other anymore, it fixed itself. I've heard of alice in wonderland syndrome before, but for it to happen where someone else can see it seems impossible. Has anyone else experienced anything like this or have any ideas?

    Wow, I haven't even spoken of this but just a few weeks ago I had a similar thing happen to me, in my driveway when I got out of the car I just felt taller and could observe things I couldn't before (example: I could see over the fence next door and view the bottom of the neighbors door on their porch when normally I can't see that part of the door) even walking in the house I could feel that I was taller and then by the time I shut the door after entering the kitchen I felt normal again. When I get out of the car now (and every other time) I cannot see the bottom of the neighbors door when I look past the fence unless on tippy toes. Same shoes, same everything each time.

    I've often had the alice thing as a kid. And a few time as an adult as well, last time isn't even that long ago. My dreams seem to be written or directen by Lewis Carroll. Weird and adventurous!

    It's not exactly similar to this story, but it's something I experienced as a kid randomly and never told to doctor. Perspective distortion happened to me from time to time in childhood. Usually, that happened when my mum was lecturing me and I was tired at the same time. Could be late-night lecturing. At some point, everything else is getting smaller and the object I'm looking at get extra big, like a magnifying glass put on. It does feel weird, but pleasant. At those times I was completely concentrated on the huge change in my perception and nothing else could bother me. However, I didn't feel taller. I could see the smallest details of the object and at the same time, my head felt strange. Like vestibular apparatus had some unknown changes.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them Visited my BF's parents in a city where I had never been before. We sat around in the kitchen talking and then his mother asked me to get her her scissors. I got up, went to the guest room dresser, opened the second drawer and got them out. There was no way I could have known where they were.

    This is a common thing where it's like you remember something that happens in the future but only when the event happens. i.e you got the scissors just then so your past memories somehow remember that you once got them.

    You were there before obviously. Maybe you astral travelled there, and checked it out, and his mom knew you did, somehow.. and so she asked you to get her scissors. I bet you two had a nice long visit and enjoyed it! So now that you are there in person, she naturally just asked you, and didn’t need to explain where they were!

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them This is only a small thing, but it still confuses the hell out of me and I can't think of any explanation. I was playing fetch with my dog in my living room. I threw the ball, she'd bring it back, you get it. My dog dropped the ball on my foot and waited whilst I leant down to pick it up, but then I blinked and it was gone. I quickly checked under the sofa, thinking she'd nudged it under there or I'd accidentally kicked it, but it was nowhere to be seen. My dog was still staring at the spot where she dropped it and when it disappeared she looked just as confused as I was and jumped round looking for it. I scoured the whole room (which wasn't very big) and eventually found it on the opposite side of the room in the middle of the floor, even after I'd looked everywhere. We only had this one particular ball at the time, so we couldn't have mistaken it for another one. Not particularly exciting, but I can't think of any explanation. My dog was just happy to have her ball back at least.

    You probably did kick it--I did this sometimes with other things, like, I would bend down to pick it up and then lose my footing and kick the object really hard where I'd see it in a completely different place. The dog might've blinked at the same time as you/didn't see it yeet across the room and also got confused.

    this happened with my Dad, he used a dogs ball for building up grip strength in his hands by squeezing it & this was the early 90's when I was just born & they had moved into a new house, my folks didn't have much furniture & the living room only had a couch. My Dad dropped the ball & it rolled behind the couch. He pulled it out & nothing. Now this was a big red ball & the floor was concrete so there's no gaps say in wooden flooring, no open windows. He pulled out all the cushions, nope despite knowing it had rolled across the floor. He just had to accept it was gone & it was baffling like it had rolled into another dimension. Years later, when it came to throw the couch out, the curse of thought of this ball that vanished must have still haunted him as he took a switch blade & cut into the couch to see if the ball had somehow (by a miracle) got into the stuffing or something could explain where it went. Nope no ball. To this day, we don't know where it went.

    Put a marble or ping pong ball on the floor in the spot you were standing on and see if it rolls towards the spot you found the ball in.

    Things disappear on me sometimes. I always put my keys in the same place, but once in a while they aren't there. I'll look all around the house for them, then look where they belong, and suddenly they're where they're supposed to be. Also things seem to disappear when they hit my kitchen floor.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them We were all completely sober , quick preface. I’m currently driving home from my lunch break so I’m using Siri to talk hopefully this makes sense. So back in the summer we had a huge friend trip to Lake Powell. For anyone that has been there you know it’s absolutely beautiful, anyways we were boating through the canyons and going deeper and deeper into the canyons lake Powell. At one point I thought in my mind something along the lines of “damn, this place is so beautiful it almost looks fake or like it was designed to look this way by something” when I started saying that in my mind, a friend turned around to me and said “dude, it feels like we’re in a movie and we are looking at movie props, it looks so fake” and I turned around and looked and and said “dude what the fuck did you just say? I was thinking the EXACT SAME THING.” We were both freaking out about it but then it got a little freakier. We were sitting at the back of the boat looking at our 10 or so friends standing up while the boat was slowly going through the canyons, and as I watched them looking at the scenery I experienced an altered state of conscience. The best way to describe it is the façade of the human experience was dropped and all of a sudden my friends looked like gods or angelic beings experiencing “earth” and just enjoying the moment. My friend turned to me and said, “dude, look at our friends, they’re so beautiful and alive, they look like angels!” And I knew at that moment we were both experiencing the same thing. The best way to describe what we saw, is it looked like we placed ourselves in a video game and were enjoying what we created. It’s super hard to describe this experience. If you’ve seen maze runner, you know how they make you forget everything before you go into the maze but yet you had an existence before? It felt like that! That nature of reality teased us and slightly withdrew, and we saw our friends and this earth for what it could truly be for a brief moment in time EDIT #1. I heard a story of a man who experienced something similar where at random times he also would "tap in" to this outside reality whilst being sober. He came up with a theory that human consciousness and our Brains can act like a Needle finding the groove on a vinyl record. Once we tune it specifically and find ourselves in this "groove" music can be played, or in other words, we can start experiencing some fascinating things. I have to find where I read this though, but supposedly it happens randomly to a lot of people!

    When I was in college I tried cava cava once. It's a perfectly legal herbal substance with mild psychotropic effects. I felt kind of similar to this. I was really calm and all the colors and sounds were so much richer. I'd love to do it again sometime, but this time maybe somewhere truly beautiful instead of just a random day at a friend's house in random small town Missouri.

    People Share 30 Creepy Unexplainable Things That Happened To Them This has to be the strangest thing to ever happen to me, I discovered it a few months ago and it's played on my mind because I have a lot of health problems too. Last year my dad passed away, we visit the graveyard quite often and go to various family members graves. It's a Muslim Grave yard, so they usually have the fathers name and other details on the gravestones. Near my uncles grave, the one just in front of it has my name on it, my name is spelt a little differently to the common spelling, it was exactly like mine on the gravestone, first and last names. It's got the same birth date as me. To add to the strangeness, My dad (who also has an uncommon spelling to his name) was from a small village in Kashmir. On the grave it has the name of the persons father, my dads name with the uncommon spelling. On the gravestone is stated that the father is from a village, guess where the person's father was from? Yep, the same village. It's really weirded me out, I know people from that village and contacted them to see if anyone heard of this person other then my dad, no one seems to have heard of him.

    My ex, my son, and I were on a road trip. When we stopped for gas, I went into the restroom first while he pumped gas. He waited until I returned, so my 3 year old son didnt wake up alone. We never deviated. Once he didn't wait for me to return. We left the restrooms together. My son was awake, but wasn't crying. He was looking at something in the seat next to him. When we shouted his name, he turned. He was calm and content, we could feel his sense of peace. He told us my ex's father came to keep him company so he wouldn't be afraid. He said this calmly with absolute certainty. My ex's father died 10+ years before. His father was a kind man; sensitive and comforting who would have sat with a sleeping child while others were away. My ex was not my son's biological father. When asked, my son repeated what he said before. He told my mother-in-law, his step grandmother, she was certain he was telling the truth.

    When I was in school we did a trip to one of the really big WW2 graveyards in Normandy. There were hundreds of identical gravetones. Our teacher asked us to walk around and think about what happened to those men. I wandered off off on my own and decided to pick one grave at random and read the headstone. I had no destination in mind. Just walked around aimlessly and then picked one. The one I picked had my surname on it. It's not a common one. It also mentioned his wife. Her name was the same as mine and again it's not the most common spelling. Years later I did some family history and found he was a distant relative of mine. But what were the chances of me picking that exact gravestone to read out of all the hundreds that were there?

    Actually I have seen something similar before in an Orthodox graveyard. Sometimes people get a reserved place close to their relatives. So while they are still alive they have their place, their stone, name and picture on it, birth date and "-" for date of death. Quite disturbing if you ask me, but aparently a common practice.

She looked at me with a bit of horror and confusion but couldn't see me smiling under my mask.

As I'm eating cheese sticks I hear a crackling of the kitchen floor but I don't hear anyone moving around. I keep eating and a few moments later I swear my dog was just at the side of the table begging for food, now when we got this dog from the pound she was BIG, we had to slim her down we used to call her "Keg" but every Christmas I would give her a little bit of what I'm eating just a little "gift". I think she showed up this Christmas :) I'm still in shock because it was so vivid but I'm happy.

    I had a weird experience the other day where my son, who is 15, came out of his room to let me know he was heading out to hang with some friends, nothing abnormal with that, but as he was leaving out the front door, I remembered something I wanted to tell him so I thought 'Oh I will just grab him while he is going out the door'...I was only in the next room and it is half a second to the front door, I felt a strange as hell feeling all of a sudden and when I looked at the door he was gone, I can see a fair distance down the road, both ways and he was just gone completely. I called his phone and said "hey did you run or something? I needed to tell you something", he said "uh.. I am already with my friends?!!".... for me, this was barely 2 minutes and he had to walk about 20ish minutes to his mates place. I swear it was the weirdest thing I felt as if I was on pause?!

    It’s your mum. Anything that you feel a particular attachment to is thrown out at some point by your mother. Well, it’s true in my case, anyway.

    I just lost one of my favorite shirts and I'm still kinda sad about it, I have no idea where it could've gone (almost the same type of story as OP )

    Just a memory glitch, nothing supernatural here.

    Did you move recently? Or did a friend take it without asking?
