My dads shirts duplicated (glitch happened about 3 years ago)

So in like 2003 my dad went to Hawaii with my mom for vacation and while he was in Hawaii he got ONE of these shirts. Now in 2023 he went in his closet one day and suddenly he had TWO of the same exact shirt same size, hanging up on hangers a few shirts away from eachother. Still have no idea how this happened as we are 100% sure he only bought 1 of these shirts in Hawaii years ago.

A trend in my life that is starting to scare me

Not sure if this is the best subreddit for this post but, can't figure out to where to post something like this. Events have happened to me over my life that are starting to have a theme that left me crying with my wife on our front porch Saturday. I am going to list the order things have happened and hope someone can make sense of this. Also, I don't believe in psychics nor can I control this thing(Make more sense when you read).

Going to divide the timeline up to the part where things start getting creepy, if you don't want to see read this whole mess. I told my coworkers this timeline and they are now asking if I get a feeling about them to let them know.

Background: Regular guy lived in Michigan my whole life. Married with 3 kids. IT career for 27 years. Attended church my whole life and straight up middle class. I love gaming and wargaming with friends/kids. Kids all play sports and life is generally good.

Middle School - My friend has me attend this church event in which there is a martial arts showing, singing and bunch of other random stuff. At one point the music is playing and I feel this feeling pushing down on me, almost causing me to fall. I feel things moving around me.

1997 - I am invited to do a service project in Mexico through an organization. I say no that is something super committed people do. 1 week before everyone is leaving for the trip I get a feeling in my chest and a voice says "You need to go". I asked my youth pastor and he says sure I can still go. This leads me to service work across Mexico, Florida and inner city Chicago helping all over.

2000 - I am attending an event the involves the service work I have been doing. I see my now wife for the first time and instantly I have the same feeling in my chest and all over my body. Literally felt like the universe is shaking the second I saw her. I hear a voice say "You are going to marry her".

2008 - Married and living in an apartment for 3 years. EVERYONE is telling to buy a house. I think about buying a house and I get a feeling in my chest and a voice says "Wait!". 2 months later the market crashes and I am laid off from my job. I get a job 2 months later and in 2009 have all the houses we could ever imagine to pick from.

CREEPY:

2018/2019 - I am sitting on the porch of my house with my wife. Love the neighbors, love the schools my kids are in and love the low house payment. I suddenly get a feeling in my chest and a voice says "You need to move. If you stay, you will get sick and die of cancer". I immediately tell my wife and she is like what in the world. We had done a Radon test two months prior that came back with great results. The voice then came back and said "It is something in the pipes".

We moved. A great couple with two kids moved in. We FB friended them because my wife some how sort of knew them. He got cancer a year later. 6 months after that he died in his 30s of the incurable cancer.

2019 - We had our new house built. I am in for the final sign off for the home. Realtor says "At this point you will own the home. Not like anything big will happen so you will be cool for the next 6-8 months while we build." I get a feeling in my chest and voice says "Something big is coming and it isn't a housing crash like 2008". Nothing I could do with that. Middle of house being built, COVID strikes and I am freaking out we wouldn't be able to sell the house. Market finally turned and my house value skyrocketed.

TERRIFYING:

2.5 weeks ago - I am volunteering at my church's VBS. A guy I will name Mr. T comes up to me who has been at the church for 25 years, in his 60s. Mr T is a super nice guy, my kids love him and I have maybe talked to him once or twice before in the last 10 years. We joke about the cotton candy I am making for the kids and he walks away laughing. I get the feeling in my chest and voice says "He is going to die soon, take a mental picture of him". Now this freaked me out obviously. I wrote it off as an intrusive thought.

August 9th, 2026 - I walk into church. I turn the corner and just glance and see Mr. T across the room. I get a feeling in my chest and down my arms and the voice says "This is it, he is going to die VERY soon". I asked "WHY?". The voice said "He has served his life's purpose".

August 14th, 2026 - My wife text me, Mr T collapsed and is in the hospital. I begin to reply "He doesn't make it, he is going to die" but erase it because the is a horrible thing to say about someone but, I was told he was going to die.

August 15th, 2026 - Mr. T passes away. I tell my wife everything and begin to cry on my front porch because this is starting to scare me.

TL;DR - I am a boring, middle class, IT career family man who has gets a feeling in my chest and a voice telling me what is about to happen. My coworkers and family are now wanting to know if I get a feeling and voice about them.

A glitch in the matrix or am I going insane

A few months ago, I randomly remembered the movie Raising Helen, where Hayden Panettiere starred. I googled the movie and looked through the cast because I was wondering why I hadn’t seen her in any other movies as an adult. While I was looking through her filmography, I somehow found out that she had died in her 20s from an overdose.
A couple of weeks later, I started watching Heroes, and every time I saw her on screen, I’d think to myself, “Rest in peace.” She was so beautiful and so young.
Fast-forward to two days ago. I saw a post about her death and thought to myself, “Oh, a memorial post.” Turns out, it wasn’t. She had literally just been declared dead.
Am I going insane?

I locked eyes with a stranger and every instinct told me to get away

This happened a few years ago, and I still randomly think about it because I’ve never experienced anything like it before or since. I was at a fair with some friends. Everything was completely normal. We were walking around, having fun, and eventually decided to get food.

I ordered a funnel cake and when I went up to get it, I locked eyes with the guy behind the counter who was handing it to me.

IMMEDIATELY I had this overwhelming feeling that I needed to get away from him.

There was nothing obviously strange about him. He looked completely normal. He didn’t say anything creepy or threatening. As far as I can remember, he didn’t actually do anything.
But the second we made eye contact, I felt physically sick. Just this horrible, disgusting feeling in my gut that something was very, very wrong and that I should not be anywhere near this person.

It was so intense that I couldn’t even stand there long enough to take the food I’d already ordered.
I just walked away without my funnel cake. (And I love funnel cake)

My friends were confused, and honestly, so was I. I couldn’t explain what had happened because there wasn’t anything specific I could point to. I just knew I wanted as much distance between myself and this completely ordinary looking stranger as possible.
I’ve obviously felt uncomfortable around people before, but this was completely different. It felt almost primal, like my body had decided this person was dangerous before my brain had any idea why.

I’ve never experienced that feeling again.

I still wonder what my brain picked up on… or if it picked up on anything at all.

Has anyone ever looked at a complete stranger and immediately had every instinct in their body tell them get away from this person, despite having absolutely no logical reason why?

A gun I remember from Cod zombies, was never in a certain map?

I am a pretty big gamer, I am a fan of Cod zombies. YouTube will recommend Videos based around the game. Recently a video from 3 years ago Popped up on YouTube, titled does this gun even exist? The gun in question is on several WAW maps, but after watching The video we see it's not on Der Riese, at least not the OG version. The gun is the M1 grande, now the M1 grande is on Der Riese but only with the grenade launcher attachment. The video goes on To mention an upgraded version called the M1000, but as the video points out thats not what the Upgraded name of the Version on Der Riese is called when upgraded. The YouTuber goes on to show, even using mods the gun is not available to normal players on Der Riese. Google also backs up his claims. It goes on to say no Version of Der Riese has normal version. Now I've played WAW zombies Der Riese off and on throughout the years on PS3. I would play co Op sometimes, but usually played alone. But remember getting the M1 grande without a grenade launcher on that map. Furthermore I remember turning it into the M1000. One time a few years ago I remember getting both versions which sucked as I wanted to camp the catwalk. I also vaguely remember it being available on the wall in Der Riese, not just the mystery Box. 🤔

Sunflowers appearing out of nowhere

So a couple weeks ago i was walking through my neighbourhood with a friend and i suddenly saw a tall sunflower in a ditch and i thought, this wasn't here before i walk this road everyday and i would have noticed it for sure, it didn't have time to grow, i made a photo of it and then forgot about it, it was later ripped off in the same ditch. Then today that friend told me a classmate of his that lives in a different area sent a similar photo on a group, but that person didn't know anything about our encounter the weeks prior, I've posted the two photos, what could this be?

MY FIRST GLITCH!!

I’ve always wholeheartedly believed there’s some weird shit going on but I’ve never personally experienced it. Today was that day and I am like frazzled to my core!!!

I only ever buy one lighter at a time and finish them out. The other day I finished a lighter it was red, a completely different color. I bought a lighter and came home. Two days go by I decide after work I’m gonna chill and watch some OMITB and smoke. I look down in my tray and see these two completely full lighters. I KNOW I only bought one. I always only buy one. I bought a lighter and a drink so, no bag with two lighters I just didn’t notice (and even if I put the lighter in my tray so I obviously would’ve noticed then that there were two) and I don’t live with anyone else or have friends over!!!

My head is spinning wow.

Have you ever experienced something you still can't explain?

I've always been fascinated by the strange moments in life that make you stop and think, "Wait... what just happened?"

I'm starting a podcast centered around real conversations with real people, and I'm looking for people who have experienced something they still can't fully explain — a strange coincidence, a glitch in reality, a moment that felt impossible, or anything that stuck with them.

I'm not looking for made-up stories or anything over-the-top. I'm more interested in the genuine experiences people have had that changed the way they look at the world.

If you've had a "glitch in the matrix" moment and you'd be willing to talk about it, I'd love to hear your story. No experience needed — just a conversation with someone curious about the weird side of being human.

Ok this is messed up and I'm genuinely confused, I don't know what just happened.

I don't even know if this is the right place to post this, but whatever, I need some explanations (I only added glitch pic flair because it was required)

This literally happened 30 min ago, I don't know, I dont freaking know what to think and what to do with it. Dad thinks me and my sis are pranking him but my sister just called in sick to work when she was about to leave. My sis leaves for work at 15:15, give or take a few minutes, it's a 15 min walk to her work. At 15:07 dad comes home, I am in my room working, sis is in her room getting ready, he says hello, talks about how warm it is outside(We live in southeastern europe), none of us go up to see him or greet him since this is a normal occurence every day, basically the same thing happens every day, dad has discus hernia and goes out for walks between 13:30 and 15:00 says that the warm weather and walking helps him with the pain. So he comes home, talks to us through the rooms, goes in the bathroom, then goes out and goes in the living room and says "Damn I forgot my lighter", after that I say wait I'll bring it to you since most of the times he leaves it in his jeans, I go in the bathroom, take out the lighter and I GO TO THE LIVING ROOM AND NO ONE IS THERE.

I yell for my sis and tell her didn't we just talk to dad, she confirms, she looks at me like Im stupid or something, I tell her come to the living room to see for herself, and she is just as shocked as me, because it was literally 10 seconds when he said he forgot his lighter and the time I got up to check in his jeans which are in the bathroom, his freaking jeans and the lighter are in the bathroom but he is no where. We live in a small apartment so he couldn't have gone anywhere, I call him and ask are u fucking with me, he says what the hell i am even talking about and says that he is in the store looking for freshly roasted chicken because he doesn't feel like cooking. I explain to him what happened and he says that if we're trying to joke with him it's not even a good joke. I don't know what to think, I don't know if we both hallucinated or whatever the hell happened, he came home for the second time? and he was wearing training shorts, my sister literally started screaming and saying that this isn't possible, well she is right, it shouldn't be possible, he still doesnt believe us and thinks we are pranking him. My sister even called sick for work because she is still traumatized, as for me Im not exactly traumatised per se but Im confused and feel like Im disconnecting from reality.

Anyone had something similar happen to them? Wtf is this, this is the first weird thing that happened to me in my life, nothing similar has ever happened, nothing that would make me question reality.

Lost time at the beach

So there’s nothing glitchy or bizarre about the photo. It’s just there to provide context. And I guess, because I mean, he really is a cute dog.

It was just another Monday, and I drove into town following my mum, who was taking her car to the shop for some minor bodywork. We live in a fairly rural part of the country and had to drive about 45 minutes or so to get to the body shop.

While we were in this town, we decided we wanted to go to a certain beach that neither of us had been to in quite some time. It was only an extra 25 minutes, and we figured we take advantage of the opportunity to go for a walk and then get lunch. We took the dog along, figuring it would be a fun outing and a chance for him to run around and get some exercise off leash.

I am one of those people that absolutely must have music playing when I drive. I have an iPhone with no audio jack, but my car is a bit older and doesn’t have bluetooth. However, it does have an aux cable. I have ones of those lightning/3.5 audio splitters so I can charge my phone while it’s plugged in to the audio and play my Spotify while I drive. On the way into town from where I live, my old splitter frayed and broke and was no longer working properly.

After dropping her car off, we decided to head to Walmart, which was on the way to the beach so I could pick up a new 3.5 Bluetooth adapter thingy so I can use my Bluetooth to connect to the car speakers and not rely on the wire. While I was in the store, my mom decided she was pretty hungry and even though we had lunch plans, we decided to hit up a drive-through for a small snack before the beach walk.

Something in what she ate hit her the wrong way, and her stomach was feeling a bit upset. We still decided to go to the beach since we had gone all this way and we wanted to give the dog an opportunity to run around. It was also something we had both been looking forward to for a few days. (We made plans before dropping off the car)

By the time we got to the road leading to the beach, the fog came in and it was thick. I mean, today was fairly overcast, but there were patches of blue sky, and zero fog. After we turned on the road heading to the beach, crazy fog rolled in. I mean, it was it was thick. I included a photo I took of the dog that kind of gives you an idea of how foggy it was. Not sure if it has anything related with what happened, but it did offer a spooky vibe if nothing else.

Since we had gone all this way, I convinced my mum to walk a little in the beach. I figured some fresh air might help her feel a little bit better since she was a bit queasy. She agreed and decided to walk on the beach with me for just a little bit. After about 5-6 minutes she wanted to go back to the car, but I persuaded her to walk for just five more minutes, so she set her timer for five minutes and we walked. After the timer went off, we were still having a good time, and she was actually feeling a little bit better. So we decided to set the timer another five minutes. The timer went off a second time and we decided to walk out to a point in the sand about 30 yards away and turn around. The entire time from leaving the car to the place we turned probably took about 20 minutes.

This is the point where things get weird. We were walking back to the car, and it felt like time slipped. From the point where we turned around, to when we were back at the car felt like five minutes or less. It’s like we lost an entire chunk of 15 minutes. No rhyme reason or explanation. I really wish I had looked at time on my phone so I so I could give you the exact minute, but my internal clock is about 95% accurate. I’m not perfect, I can only provide based on contextual experience, but both of us just had a moment where we joked about a glitch in the matrix because we lost about 15 minutes.

So yeah, not an incredibly life-changing glitch, but definitely left me feeling taken aback and at a loss for explanation. It truly makes me wonder, how many of these smaller glitches we experience. Not necessarily fully realizing it, or realizing it and just getting a definitive bizarre feeling with no other repercussions.

Playing card cloned itself TWICE

I got a nice set of playing cards when I was in the 9th trade and brought them to school most days to play blackjack at the lunch table. I moved and changed schools for 11th grade and when I unpacked the box there was an extra queen of spades next to it from the same set. I just moved again and am starting college tomorrow but when I unpacked the deck of cards there were 2 extra queens of spades next to it this time. I've only bought this deck one time and I legitimately have to idea how this could happen.

Has anyone experienced something like this?

This has happened to me countless times and I’m genuinely starting to question myself 😭
For example, earlier I left one of my medical devices on my bed. I **remember exactly where I put it**. I turned around for literally a moment, looked back, and it was gone. I searched all around my bed and completely tore my room apart trying to find it, while questioning whether I’d somehow moved it and just forgotten.
Eventually, I looked back at the exact same place on my bed… and it was just **there**. In the same place I originally remembered putting it.
This has happened SO many times with different things — I’ll put something down, turn around, it’s suddenly nowhere to be found, I search everywhere, and then somehow it appears in the exact place I’d already looked.
The weirdest part is that this has **only ever happened in the house I live in now**. I never experienced it in my previous house.
Has anyone else had anything similar happen? I’m not necessarily saying anything paranormal is happening 😂 I’m genuinely curious whether other people have experienced this because it’s starting to freak me out a little.

demonic dream & being mentally tormented irl meaning

i have intrusive thoughts but they’re not so much intrusive when it’s in the back of my head constantly. it’s completely opposite of the person i am, but i have intrusive thoughts about hurting people i love and know are completely innocent and mean no harm. i have all other kinds of horrible thoughts that aren’t mine and it’s mentally tormenting. i also suffer with issues of thinking my thoughts are being broadcasted & delusions of something watching me.

anyways i had a really bad day with these thoughts today and i don’t want to assume, but the specific person these thoughts were about was having a really rough day after i’d been having these thoughts and im wondering if im energetically sending them to him somehow. because when i have these thoughts i imagine them going to him or like im “thinking them to him”. i know energy can’t be created nor destroyed, and these thoughts are some kind of energy, so i feel as if im sending him hurtful energy. whatever i could just be delusional but it’s mentally tormenting.

i fell asleep on the floor and had this dream, woke up at 11:49 pm.

i had a nightmare that there was this toy in a box that was in my room it was like a lps toy and it had some numbers randomly on the box. like 11, 2002, i think 49 but it was a double digit one, etc. and i kept looking at the box it and id turn it and the little animal toy thing would fall over and i keot doing it over and over. and then i see my sister, shes been hiding her face and quiet. i turn her around and she was sunburn from tanning i think, but her right eye is extremely bruised, and theres scratchings on her face her face is torn up and on each cheek theres numbers written on them. and i look at the nimbers and look at the box and automatically put 2 and 2 together that it has correlation to that toy. whatever hurt her has correlation to that toy. and so i get mad and i take the toy out the box i think and say were gonna burn it immediantly. and then these 2 rabdom older people show up a man and a woman and theyre helping me get the stuff to put it in a bag and burn it. (all of a sudden theres more pieces) but we had to get anything it touched. and while thats happening im holding onto the toy but its a trickster so its trying to get out of my hands and etc but im swueezing it with all ive got to hurt it. and the mans getting frustrated because im not outting the items in the bag his way but im also holding onto the toy to make sure it doesnt dissapear but they dont know it can move and its a trickster toy. whule theyre taking forever to put the stuff in the bag its not that much stuff but fir some reason in the dream they were moving so slow and more things had to go in the bag versys just the box and the toy, i was talking to the man about subconscious and conscious mind. idk what i was saying and finally the lady is done or she checks on me with the toy and i wake up. it was a lot scarier than it seems typed out but it was a demonic dream.

the scratches and burns and bruises on my sisters face, the carved numbers especially 11:11 which i thought was related to manifesting. it was just really scary.

when i have these mentally tormenting days (everyday but some worse than others) ill get extremely angry and i have the urge to get careless about everything and violent but i do not and i know better because i dont want to hurt anyone.

and the weirdest part of it all is this is completely against my true nature. naturally im very sensitive and empathetic, and its not really by choice at all. i think my nervous system is just sensitive because i can pick up on the feelings of others not just cognitively but physically and emotionally without trying or wanting to.

im scared im being possessed or attacked or something. does anyone know what the dream could mean and why i am experiencing this.

i also have a history of ouija board usage if that helps any

ps: please dont comment anything about therapy. ive seen 2 different ones over the past 2 years and was just judged and dismissed rather than helped.

Second Mom?

So this is something that occurred about ten years ago. I have always written it off as being a dream or as me having an overactive imagination, but I still think it is strange.

So basically, my entire time from kindergarten, all the way till i graduated high school, my mom would wake me up. This specific event happened when I was in 5th grade. So as usual my mom came into my room, said "time to get up" and then walked out. After she left I rolled on to my back and stared at the ceiling for a bit trying to fully wake up. Then about 2-3 minutes later she comes back, and says "oh good you're already awake". I then responded to this with "yeah you already came to wake me up", which she followed with "no i didnt, i have an alarm set for when to come and get you and it just went off",

This has been something that has always confused me, because i know my mom wasn't lying to me. I honestly just think I dreamt that she came to wake me up and that actually caused me to wake up, but hey maybe it was something else. I'm curious to see what y'all think.
