To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

Not a glitch, just weird. Years ago I lived with my friend, who slept on the sofa as his room was so cold. I never went downstairs when I went to bed as it then became his 'bedroom'. Apart from one night, when I woke up and started walking downstairs and through the lounge, like I was sleepwalking, nothing in my head, just moving forward to the kitchen.

The kitchen door handle was hot to touch, when I opened the door I was hit by a wall of heat and the electric grill was burning hot, bright red, like it was about to combust. He stayed asleep. I like to think it was dad, who died 5yrs earlier, getting me downstairs as he couldn't wake him up!

I have one. It’s not very nice either. I had an old school friend who I’d lost touch with. I’d last seen her a year or two earlier on a train coming back from university.

I hadn’t thought of her since but had a very vivid dream about her one night. I found out she’d been horribly murdered the next day.

When I was in my 20s and living in Scotland I went for a walk with my dogs in a forest. Half way around a woman with a Scottish widow style cape on walked passed. There were no other cars in the car park. Car was the only way to get to the remote forest.

There's clearly some sort of a glitch in the matrix that feeds into Cabinet MP Nadine Dorries' email inbox.

Apparently she announced on Sky News last night that none of her constituents have emailed her to complain about Boris.

According to many of her constituents on our local FB page, she might need to check again.

I was 9 or 10 when Tamagotchis came to the UK. A few days after I got my hands on one, I was playing with it in the top bunk of the beds I shared with my younger brother when it slipped out of my hand and hurtled towards the wooden floor. I shouted something in desperation - probably 'No!' because I knew it was going to break - and it instantly stopped falling in mid-air, then slowly glided from side to side, exactly like a sheet of paper would if you dropped it from a height, until it landed gently on the ground.

I still remember my brother's mouth hanging open with amazement as we stared at eachother in silence from our respective bunks. No idea what happened, but I've still got the Tamagotchi and (as I discovered recently, which was highly entertaining) it still works.

@TheParadigmShift

Oh duh sorry
You said head and tail and my brain filled in 🦄🐉 🦁

We lost key to oh car,searched everywhere with no luck so had another done by locksmith around three years later oh borrows a friends van (for the first time) and finds it down the side of the seat

Mine really freaked me out. I have a few pairs of similar black trousers. Put a pair on with pockets. Went to work, had tissues in my pocket so was using them, and I'd also stashes my work keys in my pocket because the clip on them had broken.

About halfway through my shift, needed my keys and went to put my hand in my pocket. Only it wasn't there, along with the keys and tissues.

At least two coworkers saw me put stuff in the pockets so it wasn't like I imagined it.

Went home and the trousers with the pockets were hanging over my shower screen. Still gives me the shivers!

I've told this on here before. Not matrix, but Medium related. About 15 years ago, my Mum and Dad went to a Psychic fayre in a church hall. Several mediums were there. You did not register for the event, so they had no details of anyone there. A medium beckoned my Mum over and said "I can hear someone calling out the name X. You need to tell her that the past is the past. A move of house is indicated, a good man and happiness".

This Medium quoted my name. My name is really unusual, I think I've met one other person with this name. I was the only person at school with this name. It's a name that's very very old fashioned. And yet she knew it.

My Mum didn't understand the message at all, because I was happily married and had no plans to move. Only, the thing is, unknown to anyone else in the entire world, I was not happy and that night I was on the laptop scouring houses on the internet as I was planning to leave my H.

Just a few months later, I left my ExH, moved in to my new house and met my now DH.

The Medium also said that my parents would come to own a guitar, and after that they would win the lottery. Several months later, my parents were sat in the garden at about midnight, having had a BBQ, and a guitar came flying over the fence, landing on the lawn. A few months after that they won £20k on the lottery.

I was a sceptic before, but not any more!!

Recently, I was on the coastal path, picking up dog poo (!) and a cyclist rang their bell for me to move. I was quite annoyed thinking "give me a minute".....stood up to move me and dog away, but .....there was NO cyclist.

My lovely Nan had cancer. She was fretting that she hadn't left a will. My Dad sat on her bed to make out a hand written will, and she died that very night.

Not really matrix, but certainly a bit woo.

I remembered another one but it is easily explainable

Every year on the same rough date (first weekend in March) I have a standing weekend away with friends- it's a 5 hour drive from me - so I always leave at roughly lunchtime and always have a stop at the same services just over halfway back. EVERY year I see the same 2 famous people- it's happened for the last 12 years and they even say hello to me now. They also have a similar standing weekend !

Love this thread.

It's a sad one. But when my lovely 15 year old dog died, I drove him to the vets for cremation.

After I dropped him off I was driving around on my own to get some relief before I went home again to face the kids.

Suddenly on the radio came the lyrics "I wish that I could talk to say goodbye. I remember when we used to go walking in the rain". It felt like the message was coming directly from him. I've googled the lyrics many times but never found the song.

I don't really know other than looks and mannerisms! She seemed pretty similar to me though. The way she spoke, even though we had different accents was similar. Like the same phrasing? I stopped going to the gym for a while as it freaked me out so much. Well that's my excuse. I can't remember her name either and never saw her again.

There was also that one time I met a dead somewhat famous politician on my way to work. We crossed on the street and I said "good morning, Mr X". He greeted me back. At which point I remembered he had passed away a few years ago, turned around and he had vanished.

I was really freaked out for the next two days or so but didn't tell anyone since I thought they'd all think I'd lost the plot - at which point I saw him being interviewed on the news, not being dead at all.

Seldom felt such relief!

This is a long one but bear with me because it's really strange.

My dad died in 2020 very suddenly and unexpectedly at his home. We didn't discover it had happened for a couple of days. An old friend who he hadn't had any contact with since I was a teenager heard a crash from downstairs in her home around the time he died. She ran down to see what had happened and found all her paperwork files had fallen from a cabinet in the lounge. The doors had flung open and the files had seemingly flown out and were in a huge pile on the floor.

This was odd enough, but on top of the paperwork was a black and white picture of me that she'd never seen before. In it I am screaming and running towards the camera looking terrified. It was from 1994 and was taken by a friend of mine, they made me jump and caught it on camera basically. As far as I was aware, I was the only person with a copy and my copy is in colour and in an album here. There was no reason for this old friend of my dads to have the picture and she has no idea how it came to be there.

Anyway, at this point none of us knew he'd died. A day or so later when I found him I located his will and discovered that it hadn't been updated since 1992 and this old friend was the executor so I rang her to let her know and she nearly passed out with shock because of the appearance of this photo of me that she'd never seen before. She told me all about it over the phone and we were both strangely comforted by it.

She felt it was my dad letting her know that I needed her help. It still makes the adrenaline course through me when I talk about it now. We just can't explain it.

Shortly after 9/11 in New Jersey I was out by myself in my car. Everything felt a bit surreal after the twin towers. I pulled up at a 4 way stop sign and all was clear. I was about to go but something said NO, DON'T GO several times.
I waited, a bit baffled as to why I was hesitating for so long. Next second a large white transit type van sped, like really sped, straight through the junction. If I had gone when I was meant to I would have been in a horrific accident.

I saw a C list celebrity before but I thought it was too rude to ask for her autograph. Ti's the brittish way

Legend says that it's very bad luck to have an encounter with your doppelganger but after a few decades you're probably safe!

I've seen my doppelgänger. I was strap hanging on the Northern line on my way to work back in the early 90s. I looked down at the woman seated in front of me ( on the long strip of seats) and she had my face. It was so odd, I felt completely zoned out for a second and was totally speechless. I just kept staring at her, trying to work out what it was. She was wearing different clothes and her haircut was slightly different but apart from that she was my mirror image.
She eventually looked up at me and saw me staring. She looked just as baffled as I was to be honest. We didn't say anything to each other ( what would you say, anyway?) and I had to get off at the next stop.
I suppose with nearly 8 billion people on the planet, some features will replicate eventually!

@JesusSufferingFuck22, what was she like? Did you have anything else in common apart from looks?

Even though it's been almost 20 years, I still sometimes remember mine, and I would have loved a chance to meet.

I had the doppelgänger thing happen to me. I'm from Scotland but I lived in USA for a long while. I used to go to the gym everyday and was perplexed when people I didn't know waved to me or tooted their horn when I was making my way into the gym. One of the instructors came up to me and said "there's a woman who comes here who looks exactly like you. I'll need to introduce you too her."
I was sceptical. Anyway, I followed him over to where she was and it was so f*ing weird. She looked exactly like me. Same mannerisms, posture, smile. It really freaked us both out. The only difference was that she had straight American teeth and I didn't

Love reading these, some are so spooky!

I remembered another one I experienced.

A few years ago we were all going out for the evening. My husband & daughters were already in the car, I had run back in the house to grab my earrings. Came out with earrings in hand & as I was opening the car door, I dropped the back of one of the earrings. It was one of those round rubber ones. Had a little search on the ground but couldn't find it, assumed it was under the car so just got in the car & we left.

A few days later me & DH were going shopping. He put his trainers on & felt something in the bottom. Dug around & it was the back of the earring inside his shoe. Weird thing was, they weren't the trainers he had been wearing when I lost the earring back. In fact it was the first time he put those trainers on in weeks.

Just the other night actually my friend called me through Microsoft Teams but I can't video chat on the computer as I have no webcam or mic. I answered the call and wrote in it that I would call her back from the laptop.

Well, she told me when I got on call with her that she asked me what I was giggling about. Perplexed I said to her, I was not giggling it was the bairn and just how did she know when the original call was not voice or video activated.

We still don't know how she could hear it. She's miles away from me physically.

Very strange.

May, 2019. I was out for my usual walk in the village with my 1 year old DD in her buggy.

I looked up as we approached a corner on the road and saw a man, in a red coat, cross the road ahead of us and disappear up a driveway.

I look back down.

Then I look up again as we're upon the corner. A man in a red coat again, crossed the road and disappeared up the same driveway.

Curious, I peered down the (sizeable) driveway as we passed.

Nobody was there.

I've been unnerved by it ever since.
