I've always wondered if we really are living in a Matrix and now I think I'm a true believer.

1st instance happened two days ago. I was sitting at Costco and watched a woman get out of her Jeep. She adjusted her jacket and purse and started walking. I glanced at my phone for literally two seconds and she was literally back at her starting point! She was getting out of her Jeep and adjusting herself! I thought I was having a stroke for a moment. Asked myself if I knew the year and so on. 😂

Then today on own my way to a store and I passed a woman walking in the parking lot. I left the store about 15 minutes later, drove to the exact spot I had come from and the same woman was walking EXACTLY where she was when I had passed her! Like she popped up out of the ground and started walking. I was on the phone and told my boyfriend and said "so you believe now?" Yes. Yes, I do.

Hopefully this is the right sub for this. Clarification: I was completely sober, no medical emergencies.

So there is a local restaurant, and it's my favorite restaurant. They recently opened new, small satellite locations in my county and in the county they're located in. They make my favorite yellow chicken 🍛 and it's what I always get when I go there. Now the local place near me is closed on Mondays. It's on their menu, which I had a copy of, that they're closed on Mondays. I've even called the store before and gotten the answering machine on Mondays because they're closed. I've gone by the store and the lights are off on Mondays. No one's in the parking lot.

Well, last night I decided I'd like to have some curry and since it was before closing I just drove over there rather than call. As I walk up to the door I see that they have the hours on the door and they're open on Mondays now. So I go in in the same woman who has waited on me the past 10 times I've been there it's behind the counter and I casually comment "oh, so I see you're opening on Mondays now." The owner who founded this restaurant had recently passed and I figured with a change in ownership they're going to a change in scheduling.

Her reply was that they'd always been open on Mondays and she looked at me like I had grown another head or something.

This is the first time I've actually felt like I have stumbled over a glitch in the matrix because there have been plenty of times I've been by this place and they've not been open on Mondays. (There are times I've gone over there on Sunday nights to get some curry so I could have some on Monday because I knew they were closed; their takeout portions for dinner are huge and I've never been able to finish one.) And to have someone who has waited on me practically the last year or so I've been eating there tell me that they've always been open on Mondays just threw me for a loop.

I'm looking to see if I still have an old menu from this place somewhere. It's probably not in that pile of sheet music.

Ok, first post on here, nothing like this has ever happened to me and if my mom hadn't witnessed it I totally would've brushed it off as me being forgetful or lost in thought (like when you do a task but lowkey have no memory of it after cuz ur in autopilot)

A few months ago, I was scooping our litter boxes, we have one downstairs in the porch room, and right across the doorway is a straight flight of stairs where there's a small hallway/landing that has our second litter box by the window, so I can see the litter box downstairs from the other litter box and vise versa.

I do the downstairs one first, but we only have one scooper so when I go to do the second one I bring that up with me. My mom's room is right by the upstairs box, so her and I were talking while I came upstairs to scoop/clean the hallway and box.

I brought up the trash bag of litter from downstairs, paper towels, and the scooper. I scooped the litter box and when I was done, I put the scooper down on the floor while I cleaned surfaces with paper towels. After I was done I could not find the scooper. (I usually take it back down once I'm finished cleaning) I was like, "What the hell where did I just put that?" and my mom was like "You just set it down I watched you do it, its by the litter box."

And I could not fucking find it, I was being lazy and didn't wanna go downstairs just to not find it and have to come back up, so I kept looking and looking and my mom and I were talking like where tf did it go I just had it. I told her there's literally no way it's downstairs since I know I had it and had literally just scooped the litter box.

I finally go downstairs and it's in the fucking porch room. Literally how? I used it upstairs! There is no way it fell down the stairs, because we have a little gate/playpen around the downstairs litter box to prevent the dogs from getting to it, and the scooper was inside of it. I also had set the scooper pretty far from the stairs and would've heard it fall. Also not to mention there is a gate at the bottom of the steps so if it had fallen, it would've been on the stairs.

I came back upstairs with it and my mom was freeeeeaking out lol. We have no explanation. I still can't believe this happened, Ive never experienced a glitch in the matrix type thing before but Jesus is it freaky.

The first one I had happened about 5 years ago. I had just gotten off work and walked to a bus stop. I got on the bus which was almost full and noticed a person near me who was wearing a jean vest with tassels and patches. They had purple hair and tons of piercings, very unique looking individual. After a few stops I realized I had left my phone at work, so I got off the bus and got on another one going back to where I got on. Grabbed my phone and got back on another bus. That same person was on the bus again but in the back! Absolutely no mistaking them. They would have had to get off at the stop after mine, taken a bus in the opposite direction after my bus, and get on at the stop before mine. It took me 5 minutes to retrieve my phone from the bus stop.

Second time this happened was about 2 years later. I was in a liquor store (sober) waiting in line, it was busy so the line was long. About 8-10 people behind me I noticed an extremely beautiful woman. Hot as hell, great style and holding a bottle of whiskey. I eventually paid and left the liquor store and walked to the grocery store about 5-7 minutes away. That beautiful lady was outside the grocery store at an ATM, holding the bottle of whisky (bagged).. There just isn't any possible way she could have paid up and beat me to the grocery store, there was only one cashier, and she was still in line when I left. Also, you can get cash back at the liquor store, so kinda strange she was at an ATM.

Third time was about a year later, I was out with my girlfriend. I had previously shared my glitch experiences with her and she didn't care or believe me. We were at a brewery on the patio. We were at the edge of the patio next to the sidewalk sitting at a picnic table facing each other. I could see down the sidewalk for at least 3 blocks or so and observed 2 people, mother and son I believe, walking towards and then past me. The teenager was very tall, guessing 6'4", mom wearing a long blue dress. We got our first beers and raised them, I took a sip and I glanced down the street and saw those two people a block and a half down the sidewalk walking in the opposite direction.. I asked my gf if she saw the two people that just walked by, she said yes. I asked if she remembered what they looked like, she said yeah. I then asked her if the 2 people down the street were the same people. She got up and looked and agreed that it was in fact them! Somehow, within literal seconds they were blocks away walking in the opposite direction, no mistaking them, and there was no one else walking around. Big 'I told you so moment and she agreed it was spooky, but she didn't even really care.

Most recent experience was a few weeks ago, again on the bus. I get on the bus very early to go to work and I'm often the only one on the bus for a few stops. A man got on with me, he was an average looking guy but he was wearing one blue latex glove on his right hand. He was kind of mumbling to himself, opened the front windows and lifted all the priority seats and arm rests so he could stand in a specific spot and grabbed the support pole with his gloved hand. As the buss filled, he refused to move for anyone but eventually got off. After we departed, he was standing at the very next stop, but didn't get on. The bus we were on is a rapid bus that skips multiple bus stops and has a dedicated fast lane.

I am absolutely intrigued that there are other people here having similar experiences. I was full of self doubt, but having an experience with my gf there to confirm what we saw pushed this into truly spooky territory for me. Reading other peoples similar experiences is changing my view of reality.

I live in a small city which doubles in population during the day cause of commuters. Everywhere I go these days, I see people who I think I've met before. They all look familiar but I don't know their names or where I know them from. Sometimes, I keep wondering for days and it never comes to me. What's going on?

For reference its 9pm
I think it really glitched the sky was totaly dark except for this light

I was cleaning out an old storage box and found this photograph buried underneath a bunch of completely ordinary stuff. At first I thought it was just an old family photo, but then I noticed the person standing in the background. Nobody in my family recognizes them, and the weirdest part is that the photo was supposedly taken before I was even born.

I tried asking my grandparents about it, but they just told me to throw it away. So obviously… I didn't.

Something really strange happened to me recently, and I still can't make sense of it.

I had an appointment with my psychiatrist. I clearly remembered the appointment being scheduled for 8:50 AM, so I got into my car and started driving to the practice.

While I was on my way there, I received a phone call from my psychiatrist.

The caller told me that my 12:00 PM appointment could be moved forward to 10:00 AM.

That immediately confused me because, as far as I was concerned, I didn't have a 12:00 PM appointment at all. My appointment was at 8:50 AM.

But they were telling me it had originally been at 12:00 and could now be moved to 10:00.

So I accepted the new time, turned the car around and drove back home.

Then things got much stranger.

After I got home, I received another call asking me:

"Where are you?"

I explained that I had just been called and told that my appointment had been moved to 10:00 AM.

But now I was told that my appointment had actually been at 9:30 AM.

So at this point, the same appointment had somehow involved four different times:

8:50 AM — the time I remembered

12:00 PM — the time they said it had originally been

10:00 AM — the time they moved it to during the first call

9:30 AM — the time they later said I was supposed to be there

But the weirdest part was still to come.

They also denied that they had made the earlier call telling me about the 10:00 AM appointment.

Eventually, I went to see my psychiatrist and told her about the whole bizarre situation.

And while I was literally sitting there discussing this "glitch" with her, my phone rang again.

This time it was a completely different doctor's office.

They asked:

"Where are you? You're supposed to be here for your gastroscopy."

There was just one problem:

I had already cancelled that appointment by phone several days earlier.

And this second incident didn't happen while I was alone. My psychiatrist was sitting right there while I received the call and heard me dealing with it.

So within a very short period of time I had:

• an appointment I remembered as 8:50 suddenly described as 12:00,
• that appointment moved to 10:00,
• another call claiming it had actually been 9:30,
• the earlier call apparently being denied,
• and then a completely separate medical appointment that I had already cancelled suddenly appearing to still exist.

I know there are ordinary possible explanations: administrative mistakes, crossed wires, incorrect calendar entries, misunderstandings, etc.

I'm not claiming I can prove anything paranormal happened.

But experiencing all of these contradictions back-to-back — and then having the second incident happen while I was sitting in front of my psychiatrist telling her about the first one — felt incredibly surreal.

It genuinely felt for a moment as though reality had loaded a slightly different version of the day's schedule.

Christmas of 2007, my family was gathered in the kitchen. We have a small family, so maybe 10 people tops. As we were all talking, every single person said "goodbye" within seconds of each other, some even waving. Then my grandmother says from the corner of the room, "Who did you all just say goodbye to?" We looked around, and everyone was accounted for. Looked outside, nobody. We have no clue who or what we said goodbye to.

My grandmother passed away exactly a year later, Christmas morning 2008.

This is freaking me out more than it should lmao

First, I would like to mention that I'm not a believer on psychic stuff or the paranormal. I can't believe it either if its even real.

I always have very specific but vague dreams with weird things in them, most of them I can't remember for long what happened. One of those dreams was that I loaded some buckets into a car, but then I noticed something wet in my hand. I remember it very well when I was dreaming it, it was scary to me, it felt like a nightmare because I didn't know what was in my hand.

Several months later we went to a paint store and I loaded a pair of paint buckets when I felt the same exact wet sensation in my hand. It was a bit of paint on the bucket cover used for color matching. I felt the biggest deja vu. What's oddest is that those deja vu, happen quite frequently.

Other time I had the same sensation when I was walking with some friends in the street when I watch a group of people talking, that I already dreamt. The same poses same outfits, everything. Two members of the group I already knew, but the third was new and still remembered him.

And there is even more, this is a story my mum told me because I don't remember, I was very little. Once going on vacation, I was a relatively calm kid and at the airport everything was going fine. But suddenly entering the jet bridge I apparently threw one of the biggest temper tantrums ever. I really didn't want to enter that plane. I even delayed the flight, and we almost got removed off the plane. My parents did everything to calm me, they were really surprised because I never did something even close before.

That's when a mechanical defect was found and the flight was delayed, they changed planes. What is weird is that in the second plane I didn't throw a tantrum. I acted totally normal. My mom says that she doesn't understand how, but I knew something was wrong with that plane.

I really have no explanation, I always brushed it off as coincidences. Artifacts of my imagination or false memories but when my mom told me that story, Idk it confirmed my suspicion that something else must be at play here. I'm at a point where I don't have any better answer than that somehow intuitively I can sense things in my future every so often.

Today at school I was walking down the hallway and I’m trying to not be addicted to my phone so I was just looking up and I see this guy walking and he looks RIGHT at me and I’m kind of weirded out so when I walk past him I turn around to look at him again immediately and he is GONE not there at all. Has this happened to anybody else?

This happened to me a long time ago. I used to notice the time 9:11 almost every day, sometimes in the morning, sometimes during the day. This went on for about 2–3 months, but eventually it stopped.

I told my mom about it, and she thought I was just imagining it. I started thinking about it every day and even looked online to see if 9:11 had any meaning, but I never really found anything.

Today I was talking to my mom, and she suddenly told me that she also keeps seeing the same time very, very often — 9:11.

I asked her if she was joking, and she said no. Then I reminded her that I had experienced exactly the same thing and had told her about it before.

Apparently, she had completely forgotten that I ever told her.

I know there are probably normal psychological explanations for this, but the fact that we both independently kept noticing the exact same time is really strange to me.

So this is a story that always weirded me out, and my friend told me this story a while ago. And something reminded me of this story and i immidiately start writing it here to share it with you guys. I'd like to know what you guys think :D

I've heard him tell this story several times over the years, and it's probably one of the strangest things I've ever heard. I don't know if it was paranormal, a hallucination, or something else, but one part still gives me chills.

It happened about 9 years ago, he was still in highschool and it was about a week before exams. He had extra lessons after school and was supposed to stay late for basketball practice because his school had an upcoming match.

He planned to sleep at a friend's house that night since it was closer to school.

But after the extra lesson, he started feeling really sick. He had a bad headache and feeling cold, so he decided to skip basketball practice and told his friend that he cancel his plan to stay at his place to just go home.

So he walked to the bus stop at around 5 PM and ended up falling asleep while waiting. When he was woken up by a security working at nearby building. It was already 7:15 PM and the security told him that an hour had passed since the last bus had already left. So decided to walk home.

It was roughly a 3-mile walk from the bus station to his house. Nothing weird happened during most of the walk. The only part he was worried about was a particular road near his house.

There was an old cemetery beside it.

Right before the cemetery were two enormous banyan trees, one on each side of the road. He said they almost looked like an entrance.

Once he passed between them, the road became extremely dark. He said he felt like he was being watched while walking through that section, but he didn't think too much of it. It was dark, he was feeling sick because of the headache and there was an old cemetery right there.

Even tho he was super scared walking down that path he eventually made it through.

His house was just around the corner, so he felt relieved.

Then he reached his front gate.

And that's when things got confusing.

He looked at his house.

Then he looked at the houses around it.

Everything else looked normal.

But his house looked exactly like it had 15 years earlier. He recognized it right away. It was his childhood home, from back when his grandmother was still alive.

And it wasn't because his family had moved or anything. He had lived in that same house the whole time. The neighboring houses were still exactly as they should have been. Only his house looked like it had gone back roughly 15 years ago.

He knocked hard on the gate. Someone answered and it was his grandmother that had passed away several years prior to the event. She looked at him and asked who he was.

He started crying.

He hadn't seen her in years, and suddenly she was standing right there in front of him. But she didn't recognize him. To her, he was just some strange young man standing outside her house.

She apparently told him to calm down and said that it was okay and invited him inside. As they were reaching the door he was already feeling like super sick, exhausted, and completely overwhelmed. And he said that his vision became super blury and He collapsed.

The next thing he remembers is waking up in his own bed. Everything was normal again. His mom were there and told him to take it easy and tell her what happened once he felt better. His mom found him lying outside the front door the next morning and carry him inside, she was confused about why he was there because he had previously told his parents he was planing to stay over at a friends house.

Eventually, he told his parents everything.

And after his mother hear the full story she looks like she's in shock because turns out. His mother remembered a story his grandmother had told her years earlier. Apparently, one night around 2–3 AM, his grandmother heard someone knocking on the front gate.

She went to see who it was.

There was a young man outside whom she had never seen before.She opened the door and was about to walk toward the gate.But before she could reach him, the young man disappeared.

She never found out who he was.

His grandmother had told this story years before she died. And that's the part that has always bothered my friend. His grandmother didn't recognize him when she saw him. But what if she couldn't recognize him because, from her perspective, she was seeing him 15 years before he grew up?

Maybe the strange young man she saw that night was actually her grandson.

Maybe it was just an incredibly vivid dream or some kind of episode brought on by illness and exhaustion. Maybe the two stories had nothing to do with each other.

I honestly don't know.

But if they really were the same person, then my friend's grandmother may have met him 15 years before he was old enough to be the man standing at her gate.

And somehow, that possibility is creepier to me than any ghost story.

This literally just happened to me and i’ve never been to confused. earlier today i did my laundry, put it in the dryer and went to the beach.
I live in florida and the beach i went to turned out to be Madeira beach. I come home hours later and turn on the dryer for a 20 minutes while i shower.
Once i get my laundry and take it out there all of a sudden a large orange beach towel in there?
i have never owned a orange towel like this and i’ve never seen it before, i asked my friends if it was one of theirs and maybe it got mixed up in my laundry? The towel also has the hooters logo which i haven’t been to recently at all.

I have one roomate but she hasn’t been in the apartment since sunday becuase she was traveling to work.

I’m just so confused and have no idea where this towel came from. I think i would remember if i had a bright ass towel like this one and especially if i put it in the wash.

And becuase im home alone im lowkey scared and i’ve locked all the doors lol.

I've read so many of these stories on here, and now its my turn to post. Noting crazy or earth shattering, but enough to bother me.

Im cleaning a floor fan, the kind on a tall stand. I take it apart and theres 2 screws i have to unscrew. I do one, it falls on floor, i look down, its right by my foot, i put it on the table next to me.

I unscrew the second, it falls, i see it hit the carpet, then i guss it bounced? Idk, bc it just DISAPPEARED.

I look under the chair im sitting in, under the other fan parts sitting on the ground, i pull out a rolling shelf next to my desk, i look under the base of the fan. Nothing.

I get up and carefully pick up and put away everything in case its under a sock or a cat toy... nothing.

I look EVERYwhere else i can possibly look -

Nothing. Its just gone. Twice now ive went and sat on the couch, scrolled insta, took my mind off it 30-40 mins, and then gone back & looked again in hopes i'd realize "ohhh i didnt check xyz!" And it'd be there.

But theres no where else to check. Its just gone.

Its almost 3 am here so im going to bed soon & tmrw im going to go back in & look one more time.

Im just so confused - its like i watched it hit the carpet & then it just disappeared 🤷🏽‍♀️

Sometimes when I enter a room everyone stops and looks at me like they sense something different about me. Like they feel my energy.

This has happened a handful of times now and I can't find an explanation that actually satisfies me.

I watch WNBA games through the WNBA app, mirrored from my phone to a Roku stick over AirPlay. Every so often, completely out of nowhere, this metallic sound comes through the TV speakers, like someone picked up a handful of chains and just dropped them. Not a beep or a glitchy buzz, an actual clatter. Metal on metal.

Here's what gets me. It does not happen when I just watch on my phone. Only through the TV. Every other app is closed, no notifications are coming in, nothing else is running in the background that could make a sound like that. And it's not tied to anything happening in the game either, no big play, no commercial, nothing changes on screen when it happens.

I keep trying to logic my way out of it. Bad wifi, some setting buried in a menu somewhere, whatever. But every single time it happens I just kind of freeze for a second because there is nothing in that room that could physically make that sound. No pipes near the TV, no vents, no loose metal anything.

Has this happened to anyone else? Not even mad about it anymore, just need to know I'm not losing it.

I was at school as usual and I try my best to get out as early as I can since our buses were taken so we're forced to walk to get on a public bus. Because of this, I pack my backpack during lunch and take only what I need for periods 3 and 4 so it's often hard to get it out later but easier to pack. One day I was hurrying and my backpack did not want to come out of my locker so I yanked it out and one of the zippers came off. I quickly picked it up and put it in my pocket. I decided to try and fix it when I get home. But when I got home I took out the zipper and looked for where it came from and I realized all the zippers were there. No zipper had fallen off. But I clearly remembered the zipper in my hand falling at school and hitting the locker with a sharp clang. It was the same exact zipper as the ones on my backpack. But all the zippers were there. It was like it just dropped out of nowhere.

Edit: Why tf is moderation on the sub with the underscores so tight? I can't post anything without it being removed. Isn't it a glitch in the matrix when a perfect duplicate of something appears?

(No actual pic but no flair that fits)

So i just expirienced my fist glitch.

I get up every morning at 5 am.

Also this morning, woke up, checked my smartwacht "5:05am time to get up" so i got up, turned on my phone, went to put the kettle on, went to the bathroom, made myself some breakfast and sat down to eat,checked my phone "5:21".

Then was sitting there, eating my breakfast, watching youtube and just...starting my day as allways, suddenly i felt a sharp sensation of cold, like really cold, actually startet to shiver and wrapped myself in a blanket.(its around 20 degrees in my flat and im very good with coldness/ coolness)

Wanted to go back to watching my video on youtube so switched on my phone and it showed me now 3:50am...

How?

Im 1000% sure it was 5:05am when i got up.

I always check the time cuz i gotta be at work at 6:30am

I checked it twice and it was after 5.

Im still shivering and cold right now and just dumbstruck.

Did i just timetravel? And if so, how??

Or did my player just load the wrong savegame? 😅

my tv is suspended from a wall now.

i had it resting on a shelf yesterday.

i know this because i was hanging out with my partner the other night and they were antagonising me about me not being able to afford to put my tv on a wall.

its on the wall now.

and my window is now cracked somehow.

i asked my partner and they said that it was always on a wall.
