r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix

Most of the posts on here are just people not paying attention. I read them and roll my eyes. So I know exactly how this is going to sound. But I don't have an explanation for what happened to us, so here it is.

We were driving home from dinner at my parents' place. They're about an hour and a half out. I'm driving, my wife is in the passenger seat, both kids (7 and 9) are asleep in the back. Probably 7 or 8pm, fully dark. My wife was looking out the window like she always does. She gets carsick so she basically never touches her phone in the car. We were just talking.

The thing you need to know about this drive is the last stretch of it. You go through a long mountain tunnel, then take the exit immediately after it, and that exit is lit up by big box stores on both sides of the highway. It's not an easy area to ignore. And we know the drive well enough that we don't need GPS, but not so well that we're running on autopilot.

Last thing I remember is being maybe two or three miles from the tunnel.

Next thing I remember, we're 10 miles down the highway. Past the tunnel. Past our exit. I kind of snapped to and said out loud, "wait, where are we? Did we miss the exit?"

Here's the part that gets me. My wife turns to me and says she has no idea where we are either. I pull up GPS on my phone, set it for home, and we are about 7 miles past our exit.

Neither of us remembers the tunnel. Neither of us remembers the exit. Neither of us remembers the shopping center...

If it were just me, fine, I zoned out, it happens. But both of us losing the exact same ten minutes???

Like I said, no explanation.

I bought a 4 pack a like 2 weeks ago I checked on them yersterday to make sure they didn’t go bad but they were totally fine and when I opened my fridge today one is missing.. I live alone. i didn’t eat it, I didn’t even take it out the package. Where did it go..

This is not a fresh account of what occurred, this happened in 2018 iirc. Myself, my roommate, and my roommates mother were all in the car when we saw something weird. This was at night on a pretty empty highway. My roommates mother was driving but roommate and I no longer know who was in the front or back at the time, but whoever was in the back did see it as well.

Details are lost but we saw what we could only describe as a set of small lights, maybe 3 or 4 of them moving toward the vehical as we were driving down the highway. We were all just like 'What the fuck is that?' it looked almost like a drone was slowly approaching us but also matching our speed a bit because we were driving fast but it was approaching pretty slowly.

I'm a highly rational person so my immidiate thought was that someone was using their drone to fuck with random vehicals. The lights did seem drone-like but it didn't move like a drone, if that makes sense. And as it seemed to approach, I didn't see any frame or anything else except a few small lights. The lights disappeared overhead as we approached them / they approached us ​and they didn't seem to reappear behind the car.

Anyway, that's it. No idea what it was but it was just weird man

was in the car today with my dad, put in my earbuds, and set my headphones case in the little cup holder of the door. Probably an hour passed and when I went to put my headphones back, the case was completely gone. I looked everywhere, including taking absolutely everything out of the cup holder so that there was no crevices it could be hidden in. I know for a fact I looked in that specific spot, and I looked very thoroughly. There's absolutely no way I overlooked it, but it was nowhere to be found. Went to the park, and came back, and when I looked again it was in that exact cup holder behind a can.

I've had this happen a couple of times in the past, and every time it's felt absolutely maddening. The only explanation I can think of is that my dad took the case while I was napping or something and then put it back when we got into the car. But why? Why would he do that, especially when actively driving? That would be a weird thing to just randomly do, and I've asked him repeatedly if he's fucking with me and he's adamant he didn't. So my conclusion is that they phased through space for an hour and then returned.

The story occured yesterday, it is just related to something that happened when I was younger. Again, the story occured yesterday.

We were walking at night as he was returning me from a friend's house. We were talking about anything and nothing, and some kid walks past us with his dad. All of a sudden I got these flashbacks from two kids I used to play tennis with when I was 10 at some park. And I was like "hey dad you know who I just thought about" and he was like "name and name"

This is incredible odd to me. We had only played like three times and then we lost touch. Mind you I haven't seen them for six years? Like I thought that was insane. I still can't believe this happened gng.

One morning last week, I walked into my bathroom and saw a Lululemon size 4 clothing label (as in the clothing care label with the size / washing instructions) on the floor. I was a bit confused as I live alone in my apartment and when I looked at the brand of the label I was even more perplexed.

It was Lululemon, and I know for a fact I don’t own anything from there because 1) I don’t align with the controversial things the founder has publicly said re diversity and inclusion and 2) the prices are ridiculous.

I don’t know where it came from. I haven’t had any visitors to my place recently, and I live alone. I also took a photo of it as it was so odd. The only remotely strange linkage here is a couple months ago even though I don’t like the brand, my friends do, so I do recall going into their outlet store with my friend that one time. I looked around, but didn’t buy anything. I remember looking at a top that was a size 4, and thinking “there’s no way I would fit that”, and so didn’t even bother trying it on, plus also because of the brand itself.

So could it be that in some parallel universe I did buy that top, and the label fell off and it’s now made its way into my timeline? Hmm I have no clue.

So I still have no explanation of how it ended up in my bathroom, and it seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. I thought about how maybe if I stepped on a clothing label perhaps that’s how (like had it been stuck on my shoe or something) but I don’t wear outside shoes in my bathroom..

Stranger things like this have happened in my life as well over the years, not many incidents, but enough to make me end up on this subreddit. Such as things seemingly appearing or disappearing..

Months and months ago now my mom purchased a journal for me that she found on clearance at Michael's craft supply store. The journal has a lavender leather-like cover with bat type wings on the front. She gifted me said journal and I had placed it on my bookshelf. Today I was giving my bookshelf a much needed dusting. I removed each item one by one and dusted it off and replaced it on the bookshelf. I discovered that journal once again on my bookshelf. The only problem? I have been using that journal for the last month to keep notes in and it is currently residing on my nightstand.

My mom and I only ever go to Michael's together (kind of a special bonding thing between us, I guess) so we both feel like we would have remembered one of us buying the same journal twice. In my memory, she purchased and brought me home this one journal and I never purchased a duplicate myself. Her memory matches my own. I have a photo of both journals side by side. I am stumped.

I was scrolling through some reels today, which I must confess I seldom do because long ago I decided to stop using social media as much as possible, but today someone sent me a link and... you know... you kind of get hooked.

So anyway, two reels came up and both were about some very obscure and specific pieces of information I has known since childhood but are not common knowledge. One is about a specific quirk of the Aymara language in the Andes region of South America, the other about the origin of the number "2" in the names of most european shopping malls. These are obscure facts, you don't find them by searching the web.

Two reels, one after the other, about two things I know...

Wanted to share this experience here, just to see if anyone else has had this glitch.

I used to work at a warehouse a few years ago and sometimes it required very early shifts, so a lot of times I would go in when it was still dark.

One day I had a slighter later shift, I went outside at around 8:31. It was dark outside, like 4 am dark. Since that’s how it sometimes, I didn’t pay attention. I got into my car and pulled out of my driveway, going down to the entrance of my neighborhood.

It was at that moment I consciously noticed how dark it was. I was thinking “huh, that’s weird, it shouldn’t be this dark right now” and went to turn on my headlights— then suddenly a light switch hit and it was morning.

The sun light was instantly brighter. If you’re up early, you know the difference between a pre-sunrise darkness and the brightness of a two-hour post-risen sun. I was so shocked I hit the brakes and sat dumbfounded for a second, I had my hand ON my headlights. I had to move my visor because the sun was just hitting the treetops and was blinding me.

It genuinely felt like a simulation had glitched, and fixed itself the moment I became aware. Like how a game doesn’t load a room until you go into it.

While reading this story, the chances of you being teleported elsewhere at any given time is extremely low . . . but it isn't 0%.

In 2007, I was in my brother's room watching Family Guy. An episode I was happy to come on cause it had a gag that I was really excited to see again. As I'm watching it, suddenly, I was not.

It wasn't even in the blink of an eye, it was faster than that. It was as instantaneous as possible and even faster than my brain can process in itself. It was faster than neurons. Which, let me say, was a very weird thing to process in my brain as it happened. Imagine yourself right now reading this post on your phone and then, just like that, you're staring at yourself in the bathroom mirror.

I'm completely perplexed but after a bit, I go back in the room to continue watching the episode and then I became even more perplexed. A different show was on but still on Adult Swim. What the fuck is happening? Did the network change the show mid episode? I needed answers and when I went downstairs, I was yet even more perplexed.

I darted to the kitchen to see what time it was. Family Guy started at 9 and it was about 5 minutes into the episode when this blip happened. I looked at the time and stopped in my tracks. The clock read 10:38.

That's not possible. One hour and thirty minutes of time that went by faster than the speed of light. The first thing I felt was anger. "Ah! Fuck! ... I missed the joke!" . The second thought was...What was my body doing in that time? What did I do from the time I was watching tv to standing in the mirror? No one said they saw me at all during that time. So if I was somehow undetected by my family for an hour and a half, there are only two explanations.

Possibility #1: My family simply was not around wherever I so happened to be at.

Or

Possibility #2: My body had vanished and was placed back in the bathroom.

Where did I go?

Note: I was a very healthy 16 year old with no neurological conditions or head injuries at any point. I did not have any mental issues that would've impaired my perceived perception of reality. I was not on alcohol, drugs, or any substance that could've impaired me. Lastly, I have always been so confident in telling that this experience was absolutely instantaneous.

13 years ago, just before I moved out of my Mom's house, I was getting all of my family's home movies together which were on a total of eight VHS tapes.

I had two tall, green RubberMaid tubs that were both half full of various cartoon and movie VHS tapes. These home movies were in their own sleeves (they still are today) and all of them were in these two tubs. They were also the only tapes in these tubs with sleeves. I found all of the home movie tapes, except one. I got every single tape out of these two tubs, checked them, and put them back one-by-one. That tape was not there and neither was its sleeve. I checked my VCR and nothing was in it. I asked my sister if she had seen the tape. She checked her VCR, around her whole room, and in her closet. Nothing. I asked my Mom if she had seen it. We never kept any VHS tapes in the front room at this house so she said she obviously had not seen it.

I looked non-stop around the house for a whole week, even emptying out the tubs again and again to see if maybe I missed the tape. Nope. It wasn't there, no matter how much I looked.

A little time went by and I was looking through one of the RubberMaid tubs again. Well, to my amazement, I found the tape. What makes this very odd is it was also in its sleeve. Like I said, these tapes are all still in the same sleeves today. The only difference between this one and the others is that it's branded "Magnavox". The others are either Polaroid or Kodak. Not that the branding matters, but you would think that the different branding would make it stick out like a sore thumb. I asked my mom and sister if they had somehow found it and just put it in that tub without telling me and neither one of them knew what I was talking about. I'm glad I found it, but I'll never understand how it disappeared like that.

Last week, I went to my psychiatrist appointment on time as usual. It’s always busy there and they have multiple doctors. But when I arrived at the entrance, the lights were out and the glass door locked. It seemed completely empty and closed through the glass. I checked the date again and it made no sense. The day after that, I called to get a new appointment. The woman ensured me that they were open the day before, and that I missed my appointment on that day. Nobody was on vacation. She had no idea what I meant when I said the lights were out and the door locked. She is also the only receptionist working there and would know about interruptions or closings. She also implied that I was searching for an excuse, but when we compared the appointment time, it matched.

As the wave collapses the observer becomes the driver through intention, for any propagation of thoughts, feelings or desires throughout the field. The field exist everywhere it is in fact your time space order, your set of probabilistic certainties. its appearance is as a fractal mobius as it interacts with surrounding null space or other orders who’s harmonics of field may not be identical to ones own and such act as a dark attractor drawing in reducing to zero. In this field you could say that vibration or waves make up everything therein, singularly or as they coalesce to form harmonics. Using your mind, your heart, your deepest seated feelings one can begin to set intention. Once intention has been set usually through intimacy of the heart and/or spirt we can entangle ourselves with the other because we are both a transmitter and a receiver of vibration or in other words the creator and the experiencer if I could make such a word. In doing so you can cross infinite distance. You can see through their eyes and feel through their hearts. There are many more possibilities if one takes heed of a small warning. Be careful of your intention. Make it not selfish nor prideful. Not angry or hateful, not jealous or spiteful lest you suffer the consequence for you will be at that moment entangled. Listen to the music of the body, the song of the heart. it is the music of the heavens. As it is above so it is below. The answer is within you LOVE!

so yesterday I go to take out my trash. the dumpster I am going to is a normal apartment flip top dumpster across the parking lot. I have to walk out my door and another 30ish feet to the dumpster and through the parking lot with cars in it.

As i am walking i notice both sides of the parking lot isle are filled with cars and there is no free spot left.

I walk back from the dumpster after dropping off my trash and again see the isles of cars.

When I go to put my car in my garage 5 minutes later I see a huge long industrial dumpster (think ones they put in drive ways of houses under construction) in one isle of cars. this dumpster takes up 5 whole spaces of cars. It is move out/in season in the apartment complex i live in so there *was* a dumpster like that for several weeks.

however I did NOT see this dumpster that is now 15 feet away from the flip top dumpster. it literally appeared out of nowhere! I did not miss an industrial length dumpster when i would have had to walk right by it to the flip top dumpster.

so now at this point there is the flip top dumpster 30 feet away from the door of my complex and also the industrial dumpster

it appeared out of nowhere! I would have seen this dumpster it is extremely huge! and it also had a couch right beside it since its to tall for some one to throw the couch into it

I am at a loss of where this dumpster came from

So the other day, me and my roomate went to Walmart to get a few things, and we grabbed a single shopping cart to carry everything in.

At some point i walked with the cart to a different isle without them and left the cart for a moment to grab something on the end cap of the isle then went and got my cart and headed back across the store to my friend, When i came back to them they had a shopping cart too, but said that they had it the whole time, but i know that they didn't have the cart because i kept it with and i was never more than 8 feet from the cart, so somehow we ended up both having a cart that we both had the whole time.

In April 2014 I bought a mechanical mod vape. My first and at the time, only vape. It got me off of cigarettes. It didn't leave the 3" radius of my body at any time. It was nicotinie and I had been a smoker for 20 years - I wouldn't lose it. I might set it down, I might misplace it, but it wouldn't be lost for long.

One day later that same year, I was on my couch. I sat the vape down next to me while sitting up on the couch. I was freeing my hand to grab something. I didn't think anything of it. When I went to get the vape again, it wasn't by my side. I thought it might have rolled on the floor, or got tangled up in pillows or blankets. However, after a very VERY VERY thourough search - a search that would have found it had it been there, the vape was hopelessly missing. I assumed it was hidden and would turn up. I ran to the store and bought a new vape because I wasn't buying cigarettes.

I should mention this was a large telescopic mechanical mod vape. About 8" long and 2" in diameter. About the size and weight of a flashlight - and very bright fushia in color. It would not be easily overlooked if any part of it showed against my dark furniture.

I got the new vape and having learned through the past that things alwasy came back to me - I stopped looking for the missing one.

About two weeks later, I had this feeling, something told me to stick my hand in the crack between the seat cushions, basically in the middle of the couch - not towards the back, not towards the front, not the crack next to the arms or the crack further down where my legs laid when I was laying down. It was as close to the center of the seating as you could get. I pushed into the crack between the second and third butt cushion, and pulled out that vape. It wasn't pushed to the bottom as if it had been pushed down and sitting on the base of the couch under the cushions. It was held perfectly between the two cushions, about one inch from the surface. For two weeks I sat on the couch, laid on the couch, and spent time on the couch.

I really didn't get too much into the details, but to cover all the bases - Yes, I fully FULLY inspected all areas of the couch initially when looking for the vape.

No - no one had been in my home, no visitors, no people who snuck in - there was nothing missing or moved

No - I did not unthinkingly pick up the vape and put it in the crack either without paying attention or in my sleep. When I did find it, I was so surprised I drove to the vape store with it to show them. That wouldn't have happened if it wasn't such a surprise to find.

Do I think that the vape had been there the whole two weeks, and I somehow overlooked it when doing an initial search? No. Do I think It fell into the crack when I sat it down initially and then through some kind of glitch in the matrix - it stopped being there and then sometime later - not necessarily the two weeks, but definitiely later - it came back as if it had never been moved. It fell there initially, and then it was gone. Higher dimention? Parallel universe? Written out because it wasn't in sight? I dont' know, but when I pulled it back up it was so easily found that it was as if it had always been right there just waiting for me to pull it up. Not hidden, it would have been found within the first few moments of searching inititally had it stayed there. That it took two weeks makes me wonder what happened.

So I was walking around my house, there's no water on the ceiling or roof as it's a summer night after a tough summer day. My AC wasn't even on! And out of nowhere a big water droplet fell on my palm. I see above there's nothing on the ceiling! Not one insect or anything. What could be it? The water was also a bit oily as the paper I used to wipe it showed, I straight away sanitized and washed my hands after it. What could be it? Anyone had this before.

My Grandpa came home one day after driving cars around the area for a local dealership. I heard him turn the key in the door before he came into the house. Now this lock on the front doorknob at my grandparent's always had a very distinct "thump" sound when it unlocked. This is how I know my Grandpa used his key to unlock the door.

A little bit later, my Grandpa went in the backyard to cut grass and look through his garden. When he came back inside a couple hours later, he asked me if I wanted to go get something to eat. He went to get his truck key and noticed that his house keys were missing from the key ring. We looked on the floor and around the house but never found them. Since my Grandma was home, she just told us to ring the doorbell when we came back with the food. Well, we went out to the street where the truck was parked and my Grandpa looked on the ground by the driver's side door. His house keys were on the ground, in the street. There are no other sets of keys to this house besides my Grandma's. She checked her purse and her keys were still there. Needless to say, we never figured out how those keys wound up in the street after he had used them to get into the house.

i used to browse this subreddit a lot a couple years ago, and i recently rediscovered it. i had such a nice time going back and rereading some of the stories i remember from back then that it made me want to share one of my own experiences, which might be more paranormal than an actual glitch in the matrix, although i'm not really sure what to call it. i'm not even sure myself what actually happened

first of all, i was the only person who witnessed this, so there's obviously a very real possibility that it was an hallucination

i'm 19 now, and this happened around 3 years ago

my house has two main floors. my grandmother lives downstairs, while my parents and i live upstairs. one night, fairly late, i had finished dinner at my grandmother's place and said goodnight to her before heading upstairs

to give you an idea of the layout: i leave my grandmother's apartment and open a door that leads to the part of the house where my parents and i live. immediately after that door there is a fairly long staircase leading upstairs. as soon as you open the door, the staircase goes off to the right. directly in front of you, on the wall, there is a coat rack with a few jackets hanging from it

the staircase itself is in a pretty narrow space, with white walls and white stairs. there isn't really anything else there. the lights are automatic and don't turn on until you have gone up a few steps, maybe six or seven

that night, i started walking upstairs while the lights were still off. i was looking down at my phone, checking something. then, completely out of nowhere, i walked straight into something; it felt like i had walked into a person

more specifically, i remember hitting my head against what felt like a man's chest. i could physically feel another person standing there. i was still looking down, so i didn't immediately look at his face. i remember seeing his t-shirt, and i even vaguely remember there being a logo on it. i don't remember much else about his clothes

my immediate assumption was that it was my dad. that doesn't really make sense in hindsight, because my dad isn't particularly tall

a bunch of things happened almost simultaneously: i still hadn't looked up because for some reason, my first instinct was to close all the tabs i had open on my phone. not because i was doing anything inappropriate, but because i always felt slightly uncomfortable with my parents seeing what i was doing on my phone

at the same time, i moved to the side to let him pass, continued walking up the stairs, and eventually reached the point where the lights turned on

i also loudly said, "sorry!" (i was apologizing for bumping into him) then i finally looked up., and there was absolutely nobody there, nothing!

i hadn't heard anyone walk away, either. there was simply no one on the staircase

and there wasn't really anything i could have mistaken for a person. it was just the white staircase and the white walls. the jackets and all were a few stairs down, and there was nothing around me that could have caused the kind of impact i felt. it genuinely felt like i had walked into a human being, so i just stood there completely confused

the strange thing is that i wasn't scared, not really. my main concern was actually whether my parents, who were sitting on the couch at the top of the stairs, had heard me loudly apologize to someone..to my surprise they hadn't

and somehow, that was it. i went to bed that night without really being shaken by what had happened, and nothing like it ever happened again. i lived in that house for roughly 15 years, and i never experienced anything similar

what surprises me more than anything is how little it affected me at the time. i was mostly just confused and moved on with my life. it wasn't until months or even years later that i started thinking about it more and finding it unsettling

i still talk about it with my friends sometimes, and i've tried to come up with explanations for what happened. obviously, the idea that i actually bumped into something physical seems extremely unlikely. there isn't anything there that could have caused that sensation. the possibility that there was actually another person on the stairs also seems pretty much impossible.

so the explanation i've considered the most is that i hallucinated it. i've never experienced anything like that before or since, and i've never had any other kind of hallucination. i don't have any known mental health issues or anything else that would obviously explain it.

one possibility i've wondered about is carbon monoxide or some other environmental factor. it's an old house, and we have heaters and other appliances, so i suppose some kind of exposure isn't completely impossible. i don't know enough about that to say whether it could actually cause an experience like this, though

i'm curious what you guys think. do you think there could be a reasonable explanation for something like this, or does it sound genuinely paranormal to you?

i'm aware that since i was the only person who experienced it, "i hallucinated it" is probably the safest explanation. but i'd still love to hear what you think

i apologize if this may not satisfy all the requirements to be posted here, but ill give it a shot

This just happened and it makes no sense!

I was making myself some lunch and put 2 slices of bread into the air fryer. I put slices of cheese on both and sprinkled Worcestershire sauce. All good.

5 minutes later I open the drawer and one slice of bread is missing half its cheese. It hasn’t clumped together with the remaining cheese. It’s just not there. It’s not under the slices or anywhere else in the air fryer drawer. I even looked up inside the fryer in case it had somehow flown off the bread!

I absolutely cannot explain it.
