To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

These are great, I've only read up to p6. Anyway I experience so many synchronicities and glitches! But this one was particularly "glitchy":

I visited Scotland with my sister. Bought a copy of Eraserhead on video in Glasgow as it is such a freaky film and I'd seen it when I was about 14 on Channel 4. Brought it back to N. Ireland, my sis came back too and we were in my mum's house. I thought I'd watch the film later. I was standing in the kitchen and the video was sitting on the counter. My sister walked in, picked up the video, said "What's this film about anyway?" I replied that it was really freaky, about this alien baby and it's sick and the guy Henry is looking after it but it keeps crying and crying...

So then we walk into the living room, my sis goes on to the bathroom and I stick the telly on. I was flicking around and nothing much was on. "There's a Kiefer Sutherland film on 2" I shouted. So I left it on ... Kiefer's character is standing in the kitchen having a conversation with his wife. Next thing she picks up a video off the counter and says "So what's this film about anyway?"... my eyes nearly popped out of my head, I screamed "Get in here quick!!" to my sister.... Kiefer's character says "Oh it's really freaky, there's this alien baby" etc etc...they are standing in the kitchen in the film playing out the EXACT same scene that has just played out in the kitchen with me and my sister. The video of Eraserhead is identical... same cover, price tag in the same corner. Kiefer is leaning against the counter the same way I was, the wife is standing opposite and picking up the video the same way my sister did, they have the SAME conversation about it.

My sister did get back into the room to see most of the scene play out and to date that's the freakiest glitch we've both had; but there have been many!

Holographic universe and quantum entanglement and so on I guess.... still, though.... weird!!

(Name changed in the story for name of similar 'ilk')
As a young child I had an imaginary friend - as lots of children do. I used to talk about her a lot. Unlike most imaginary friends belonging to very young children, mine was a grown woman and her name was Mrs Wilkins. My Dad would tease me mercilessly about Mrs Wilkins given she was a strange imaginary friend for me to have. Like most children I eventually grew out of talking about her although she was never forgetten by the family!
Fast forward to when I'm 21 and my sister is 24. She gets married... guess what her new married name is!?

@PriamFarrl

Nope.
Just a big old load of nope right there.

But why single out that post? I think your analysis could have wider application in this thread!

Mine is more of an insane coincidence!
When I was 16 I traveled 200 miles to go on a sea cadet course. When I was there I met a boy and we started dating. He lived in the south. We dated for 5 months and his family asked if I wanted to go and stay for a week in the south. My parents said that they wanted to speak to his family to say hi and also make sure I would be safe there.
My parents began to talk to the dad and they realised he had a very distinctive northern accent that was the same as my dads. My mum asked where he was from.
Not only were they from the same town, but the dad was next door neighbours to my dad for several years when they were kids!
It was insane.

@ElegantlyTouched did you have a c- section by any chance? I regularly get a feeling of cold water on my foot since I had one, something to do with the way the nerves have healed.

Years ago I used to drop my dog off at my parents on my way to work. They would 'dog sit' him for the day and I'd pick him up on my way home. I would go at weekends for a proper visit but would rarely go inside during the week (and didn't this particular day).
I bought an amazing pair of shoes at lunchtime which I showed off to my mum when I picked up the dog, then carefully wrapped back up, boxed and put in the passenger footwell.
When I got home 20 mins later they were gone .. not anywhere in my car, not laying in my parents driveway (I rang to check and my mum said no, I'd definitely put them inside the car).
Never seen again and I never even got a chance to wear them.

My ds had a best friend at one school. Started at a new school and made friends with someone with the same first name as the previous friend and their mothers were from the same, unusual country. When the friend came round for some reason, I asked them when their birthday was but I knew it would be the same date as the first friends and it was! One day my ds was out with his friends shopping-in one direction coming towards them was the first friend and in the opposite direction was the other friend! Their birthday is also the same as my dads!

I hardly ever remember my dreams but when ds1 and dd2 were tiny, I had a dream so vivid not only did I remember it I woke up crying. In the dream I had 3 babies not two and I was crying because I couldn't leave the house. Everytime I got them all in carseats I had to bring them all in again as one needed changing, one was sick, one was hungry, one was screaming for no discernible reason and on and on and on. It was just so vivid and I was so upset. Very unusual for me and the weird thing being, when dd was 3 I did have triplets. Never stopped me leaving the house though. Delayed, yes, still to this day and often!

We are on the flight path to Manchester Airport so planes going over were a common sight. One Sunday afternoon we heard a plane that sounded low. Our house at the time was high up so looked across the city and we could see this 747 really low coming towards us. By now all the neighbours were out and we watched as it banked and turned to head back to Manchester. The noise from the engines was deafening. Where it was turning was over some field and wooodland and we could all then smell fuel like it had dumped a load over the area, there was a haze too. .

To this day im glad so many of us saw it because nothing ever appeared in the news about it. Honestly thought I was about to witness a plane crash and it utterly terrified me

We are hopeless with keys.

I was in car 2 one night faffing around in the dark trying to organise myself and I dropped the key to car one. Finished putting something or other in my bag, went to pick up the key and it wasn't there.

Thought I'd leave it for now and look underneath the seat in daylight but it wasn't there.

We looked right through the car, mats out, etc, many times, had it valeted and never ever found it.

It crosses my mind occasionally and it was three years ago. So weird.

Ahem, going to read the rest of the thread now

My mum was on holiday in the Greek Islands with my stepdad. They were standing in the sea, water about waist height, chatting to a man who was standing next to them. He suddenly bent down and picked something up from the sea bed.

“You’ve dropped your earring”, he said to my mum, holding out an identical earring to the ones she was wearing. She still had both earrings in.

My grandfather was born in 1919, my mum in 1949 and me in 1979.

When DM was 19, GF was 49. When I was 19, GF would have been 79. When I turn 49, DM will be 79.

There was a party that didn't happen and a Prime Minister didn't attend it, and then a bit later it turned out that the party had happened after all AND the Prime Minister had attended it but he hadn't realised that he had. Spooky.

This is so weird. Almost as if these people weren’t experiencing and living the same world as everyone else.

About 28 years ago I had a student shadowing me at work for a week. At the end of the last day she gave me a Thank you card and a watercolour picture she had done of a little girl playing on a beach. She said "here's a picture of your future daughter".
The child in her picture was blonde and I laughed as I'm dark haired and DH is mixed african/white heritage.
Yet years later we had a daughter and she is indeed the image of that watercolour. We even took a photo of her playing on a beach in Cornwall that is virtually identical to the painting.
So weird.

Walking to work really early one morning, saw I guy I didn’t really know but used to say hi to years ago while we both did the school run. He was on a small field I walked past with his little boy (my sons friend) kicking a ball about. Really didn’t think anything of it strangely until I got to work then thought wtf my son is 22!! I did some research and he never had any more kids (looked exactly as I remembered my ds little friend looking so my rational self assumed a younger sibling) also the dad didn’t look any older come to think of it. He didn’t react to me but maybe didn’t see me anyway. It was really early too about 630 am. So strange .

A few years back I was walking down our East London high street at about 8pm on a summer evening, and a young woman pushing a pram stopped me and asked me if I'd "seen that aeroplane all on fire". She pointed at the sky - and sure enough, there was a large aeroplane (like a Boeing 777) trailing flames and smoke. We watched it for a few moments before it disappeared behind some tall buildings in the distance, but I could still see a long plume of smoke. It wasn't even very high up - and seemed to be flying in the direction of Stansted Airport. I rushed home and put the TV on, expecting a breaking news story. Nothing. There was nothing in online news, and I never heard another thing about it.

I think about this event a lot. I just can't make sense of it.

ill preface this by saying adult DS has a lot of lookalikes. It's a standing joke now. Tall, bearded types with short dark hair and glasses.

Went into Tesco with DH. DS had messaged me that he was also in there picking up a few bits so I started to walk the end of the aisles looking for him. Spotted him at the end of the first aisle, walked up only it wasn't him. Turned down the next and there was another bloke just like the first who also wasn't DS. By the end of the fourth aisle I was creased up laughing because I'd now seen four people who all old have passed for him.
When I eventually found him I was relaying this story when yet another walked by and we both did a double take.

I did say at the time there was clearly a glitch in the matrix. It's happened before though, people have sent me pictures from the crowds in the football on TV and it's not DS.

I was driving home with my sister on a dat that there was a huge red moon as I had never seen it.

We turned the corner into a street by a mall when we saw these 10-15 huge pinkish purple “bubbles” about 2 ft in diameter marching ahead in a straight line while floating up and down about 5ft from the floor covering in an empty area of the deliveries parking.

Maybe they were inside a fitted sheet. Wee socks could get trapped there

This happened a few months ago, I was doing bits in the kitchen, came out to go upstairs, on around the 6th step was a 1906 ha'penny, right in the middle on the carpet.
No one else in the house, the house only 30 odd years old so can't have been anywhere hidden away. Don't know why but it gave me the creeps.

I came out of my house one day to find that every single car in the street was silver. There were about 20 of them.
