To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

I went to an event with my very first digital camera - this was back in the 90s, when they were quite a new thing. I took lots of photos in the morning, and then at around lunchtime I realised that I'd lost the camera. I was gutted - retraced my steps, asked at every stall I'd stopped at whether it had been handed in, but there was no trace of it. At the end of the day, I went back to my locked hotel room, quite some distance from the event, and the camera was sitting right in the middle of my bed, with all the photos from the morning on it.

Read an article about this sort if thing once. There was a woman who had a poltergeist in her house. Stuff would disappear. She found that if she said in a loud voice "I really need my car keys back please" and then left the house, when she came back the thing would be on the kitchen table ....every time. Very odd.

Friend thinks she has a spirit in her house. Stuff disappears and then reappears. She lost an earring so she put the one she had left on the dressing table in the hope the other one would turn up when she next hoovered. Next morning the earrings were a pair again. She thanked her husband profusely for finding it. He had no idea it was back

Growing up I was very fond of one of my uncles. Then one day he had changed. It was like in a soap when a character had been recast. It was never the same after that.

Yesterday when I got back from dropping DD off at nursery I saw my neighbour and his daughter getting into the car to head to school.

I had to go back and pick DD up about an hour later (unwell) as I got in my car neighbour and same daughter were getting in the car to go to school. They were at exactly the same point of door open, half in/out the car. It was spooky.

We lost the remote control for the tv . Searched and searched for it. Had to give up and order a replacement. The delivery man knocked on the door. I went and got the parcel which had the new remote in it. Went back into the living room. Original remote control was on the floor in the middle of the room . I had just left thst room .It wasn't there when I left.I cannot explain it. Made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck

I don't know if this counts as a matrix kinda thing but I have vivid memories from age about 5 till I was 22.Then I have a whole year where I've attended an important wedding, went on a mini break and visited family and I have absolutely no recollection of doing these things. No memory problems since. So puzzling and frankly scary. At the time I was apparently normal. I realised it had happened looking back at family photos and seeing myself at my cousins wedding and having non recollection at all, and then exh saying come on you must remember coz we went away to visit auntie the next day. He shows me pics of them and no zilch! Terrifies me

When my brother and I were young, we bent to a small petting farm type place. We bought a postcard while there.

We still have it. We are in the picture on it...

I awoke a couple of nights ago only to see a headless figure dressed in rags and bound with rope standing right next to my bed. It was initially terrifying, before I realised I was experiencing sleep paralysis.

Only ever happened to me once before a long time ago, when an alien was sitting on my chest and trying to touch my face!

Not exactly a glitch and more a natural phenomenon but my husband and I were walking the dog on the beach coincidentally at the time of the last solar eclipse. There was only us and the dog on the beach and as the sky went a little dark the waves stopped moved entirely - i.e the sea came to a complete standstill on the shore and all the birds stopped making any noise. It took us a couple of seconds to work out what felt different. I assume this is a natural occurrence but it was incredibly eerie and strange, it was like the whole world paused and glitched for a few seconds and then kicked back in again when the sun was revealed.

DH and were both members of the same gym and both had membership cards. I always kept mine in my wallet in the same place and DH kept his in his wallet in the same place.
One day we went to the gym and when I got there my membership card was missing.
DH took his out of his wallet and it was mine. We never found his card.

I was walking along a straight road around 1pm. Loads of Birds (I think swallows) singing like mad in the massive trees that line this particular road. There are only about 6 of these trees spread out about 10-15 feet apart or so and there were birds in every tree. They line the opposite side of the road that I was walking on so no worries about a bird pooping on my head or anything. The sun was shining very and the road was very quiet. No one else around but me. Found myself thinking how lovely walked past 2 trees birds still singing away happily get to the third and all of a sudden dead silence. They all stopped at the exact same time. Not a peep from any of the birds, look up and they haven’t flown off or anything. It was so eerily quiet at 1pm in the afternoon! As soon as I get to the fourth tree they start singing again!

It's happened too often to be a coincidence.

I have one that is so weird I actually can't think about it too long or I find it really scary.

Years ago, I had a signed photo of Andi Peters and Ed the Duck. It was when I was a young child- I left it at my Mum's house in the loft with childhood stuff when I went to uni. My mum then left that house, and moved in with my stepdad at his house- I never had a room there, and the boxes of my childhood stuff were never unpacked. In the meantime, I lived in 4 seperate towns - before my current town. I haven't been back much to the house since she died 9 years ago (a family member still lives there so we haven't cleared the loft yet)
2 years ago, in a laundry bag bought about 3 years ago in my current town- which has never been anywhere but my current house- I found my signed picture at the bottom of it one day.
I have RACKED my brains how it could have got there- It is definitely mine- I have a fairly unusual name and it has the same folded corner.
There is LITERALLY no way it could have got there- I have no old childhood books it could have been in and fallen out of - I haven't got anything out of that loft EVER

I actually accused my sister of playing a joke and we both ended up in tears- I found it so scary as it was a totally impossible thing

I was in a car park that has several levels and you have to drive up a spiral to reach each floor. As I was driving around the spirals (heading for the top floor) there was a seagull sat on the exact same spot of each level. It was so utterly bizarre and honestly did make me question the matrix theory.

When I was in my teens I had what I would describe as my only 'premonition' in life. I'd left my PE kit on the school bus one day. The next morning when I realized, I had a clear picture in my head of a friend of mine, standing at the front of the bus, holding up my PE bag that she'd found in the bus. It was a very clear 'vision' because my PE kit was in a Tesco bag and our school bus was an old coach that went around a preset route to pick up children. My friend always got on the bus at the stop before me so she found my PE kit, stood at the front of the coach in the big window and held it up in the window for me to see while the bus was still coming along the road to my stop (pre-seatbelt days!). So in my vision I could see that she had found it.

The next morning, that is EXACTLY what happened!!

I was driving away from football training with DS1 one evening - very insignificant. While leaving the car park we waved to a friend of DS and his dad who were just getting in their car. We drove about half a mile before pulling up at a set of traffic lights and the friend and dad were stopped right in front of us. They had a one-off number plate so it was definitely them, and there was no other route to get there. They hadn’t overtaken us. Weird.

I woke up yesterday morning and had absolutely no idea what day it was. None whatsoever. A complete and utter blank. Even when DH told me it was Tuesday, it took a good 5 minutes to sink in, to remember that the previous day had indeed been Monday, and what I'd done that day.

A few years ago at home I misplaced a full make up bag. It was a bag I never took anywhere with me and was quite bulky. For example, if I was going to the office or going out for the evening the only thing I ever take with me is lipstick. I never shower at the gym, I come home and do it here. So it's not normal for me to carry lots of make up around. It stayed on my dressing table and I would decant bits in to a smaller bag if I was going away and wanted to take some make up with me. It was full of really nice products, some quite new Charlotte Tilbury items and Bobbi Brown things that were probably about £200 worth. I put it on the table, then went out for the day. When I got back it was nowhere to be found. I turned the house upside down, went through the bin bags, blamed the DC and DP, pulled contents out of all the drawers and cupboards. Looked under beds, in beds, in places it literally wouldn't fit. To this day I still wonder what happened to it. I've never lost anything else like that. Have never lost my keys, or my phone, or my handbag. I never lose anything ever!!!

[quote forlornlorna]@IntermittentParps I get that. But I'm epileptic and it's a symptom. Freaks me out still [/quote]
I didn't know it was an epilepsy thing! (I don't have it). Must be freaky.

I had a time warp. I undertook the same journey frequently. 45 mins door to door.Ruralish route, only 1 way to go.
Except once it took me 30 mins, which is physically impossible. I checked my phone, text message half an hour earlier to friend to say I'm leaving. Checked time on phone against watch and radio. It's not physically possible for me to have done it in the time. Still mystified.

I've had a few but one that still boggles my mind happened a few years ago. My husband came home from work upset because he had lost his wedding ring, he never takes it off except to shower so we figured it must have slipped off somehow. He was frantically looking for it and we turned the house upside down, we even went back to his work to search the car park but with no luck.

He said he remembered having it on because he fidgets with it when he's anxious and he'd had a job interview that day so he'd been especially anxious. Anyway.... later that day I was in the kitchen alone when I heard the sound of something hitting the floor, I turn around and right there on the floor a couple of feet away was his wedding ring, it was as if it had just appeared out of thin air.
