To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

When I was about 15, I walked to the top of my road to get the bus into town. When I was at the top, I saw a white car pull onto our driveway. No one else was home so I went back to see who it was, but there was no car there. It wasn’t next door or on any of the other driveways either side either. There was only 3 houses from my house to the top of the road so it wasn’t because I couldn’t see that far away or anything. I think about it all the time, so weird.

Also not sure if this is matrix-y. I gave birth in June and every single day between then and about a month ago, I would randomly remember an old dream. As in a different dream from my past every day. Sometimes it would happen multiple times a day. You know that sudden moment when your dream ‘breaks’ and you remember it out of nowhere. Very odd but it’s stopped now.

I was born in Baku, and I don't know how old the poster is but I am in my 30's and the purple taxis weren't a thing when i was 11

*@AutumnAlmanack
Yes I went there years ago and long to go back. I'm disabled due to failed surgery but hoping that will be reversed this year so I can return there. I fantasise about a Gluwein in the Obwaldeshutte or Barga

@tedimgoingmad Any idea what the programme was called? My cousin went psychotic with encephalitis & nearly died (symptoms as you say hallucinations, thought she could fly & lots of other disturbing things). The same treatment eventually saved her & several years later she's back to normal thank goodness!

I recall sitting with DH at a junction in the car and glancing at an auto repair place. For some reason my mind went to ‘that will be useful to get this accident damage fixed’, except we hadn’t got any, at least not at that point. Seconds later a lad hit the car at 40mph and knocked us into the driveway of the repair place. I knew it was coming.

The really weird one was when my aunt died. She was quite young when she died and we were close. That evening I sat sobbing to DH in bed and my last words were ‘I’ll miss her cheery voice when she calls me’. 3am the phone rang. I shot up because at the time my dad was also terminally Ill. It woke the kids and DH. Answered the phone and got a ring tone when I picked it up. I panicked and dialled 1471 but that was a number from the night before. No missed calls. Nothing. But that phone rang until I answered it and woke up four people.
DH looked at me and said ‘I’ll really miss her phone calls were your last words’. It was very odd.

[quote TeddySteady]@Joni234 That’s a really creepy story! Did the funeral attendees have modern clothing?[/quote]
They all had normal, modern looking clothes, just looked like an ordinary funeral.

I've just remembered. I lost a necklace once. Well, the pendant. I was at a campsite and was brushing teeth etc. in the toilet area. I took my necklace off while leaning over the sink and the pendant dropped. I was absolutely convinced it had fallen down the sink as I heard the metallic chink as it fell; I searched the whole floor in that area, picked up every item I owned, shook out my toiletry bag, everything. My uncle even took the u-bend apart to look. Nothing.

My aunt had made up the bed in the trailer while I was out, with proper sheet and duvet and pillows. The next morning, I was taking everything off the bed to pack up and there was my pendant, in the middle of the mattress underneath the sheet that had been so carefully tucked in by my aunt.

It must seem like it was just caught in my pyjamas or something, but you had to be there - I cannot explain how it got underneath a tucked-in sheet that definitely hadn't come untucked in the night!

One that I can't explain. Years ago I worked in Argos. There was a tiny cupboard that you could walk into where we used to keep the tickets for the displays. I was in there one day, had about 100 tickets in my hand, and was reaching for some more. Suddenly felt as if someone had 'pulled' the tickets out of my hand and I dropped them. Only I didn't hear them hit the floor. Looked down, and they hadn't hit the floor. They were nowhere.

@DameDoom I wonder if we lived on the same street. The exact same thing happened to me. I had actually forgotten it until you said. The only time in my life I have genuinely felt woo. Me my mum and sister all saw it.

I lost my engagement ring at the gym, I remembered taking it off and putting it in the zip part of my bag, with my Vaseline and a £2 coin. After the gym, no ring. Checked with reception before going home and no hand ins etc.

It wasn’t expensive as my husband proposed when we were young and skint but I loved it.

A year later, I found the ring on top of my sons wardrobe. My son is 2 so he didn’t put it there. Weird thing was the wardrobe was dusty but no dust on the ring, like it had just been put theee

@zurala yes I think that was it. Goosebumps. Especially the last line!

I've had another one happen just today! For Christmas my youngest bought me a recipe book which has been on the floor next to the sofa since then. Today I was tidying up lots of things and gradually working my way round the room. I remember seeing the book but I don't remember moving it, however it's no longer by the sofa and it's not anywhere in the house!
My husband wanted to use it so that's when I realised I hadn't moved it but it's not where it was. We have checked every cupboard and drawer, under the sofa, even emptied the recycling bin, and it's just gone!
I'm hoping it might reappear if I ask out loud before I go to bed. If it does I'll update the thread.

@Joni234 Was this Middlesex Uni and Highgate Cemetery in the late 90s by any chance? It just reminded me of something if it was.......

A colleague once got a wrong number call on her home landline. The weird thing was that the call was intended for someone else we worked with on their home landline and the call was nothing to do with the work connection..

I've just remembered another. Around 5 years ago we lived in London but DH and I had been to the home counties to visit family. Driving home in the dark, we came upon a diversion due to roadworks and turned off the main road as directed, along with the flow of traffic. What followed was one of the most weird and unsettling experiences I can remember. Even though the main road had been fairly busy and others had turned off with us, suddenly we were totally alone. The road immediately petered out into a farm track. It was dark but the sky took on this foreboding glow. We passed a burned out car right by the road. There were loads of really steep Skiddy hills. I realise on paper it doesnt sound like nuch, but we both had this overwhelming sense of dread.

My DH was driving and asked me to look on Google maps - but the blue dot said we were still on the main road and I couldn't identify where we were at all. We had to keep going and it was a very tense drive!

Eventually after about 30 minutes we got back onto the main road. We now coincidentally live quite near where we came off the main road and there is nowhere nearby that matches that place. We still talk about it and the incredible fear we both felt!

@InFiveMins that is a chilling story.

To those who have asked, I didn't buy the photo. Wish I had. But at the same time glad I didn't.

This "hag" woman I haven't seen touch wood for 10 years.

The last time I saw her I was sleeping at a friend's house, and I woke up all of a sudden petrified and she was stood in the corner of the room SMIRKING at me. That's the only way o can describe it, an evil grimace like she knew something that I didn't. I burst into tears and woke my friend (I remember her being cross at waking her up!)

*so

I was out shopping in the town centre and I just "knew" that an acquaintance who I hadnt seen for several years was about to walk out of a dept store. The feeling was do strong so I sat down on the bench directly outside the store and she did actually come out 10 mins later.

To this day, I cant think why it was that person, at that time and that store (considering its a huge mall).

Not really a glitch in matrix I don’t think but I think some people have strong connections, you feel when something isn’t right. I feel this strongly with my dm and dgm. I mean I get the feeling and need to phone them. It’s a gut feeling. Two examples, the first I’ll never forget.

On holiday with dh. Having breakfast that morning on balcony and got a sick to the stomach feeling something wasn’t right at home. Felt the real ache of sadness. Dh was like what’s wrong? I said I don’t know but something isn’t right at home. And yes turns my db was arrested at that time on that morning on suspicion of murder. I think I was in tune with my dms feelings. For context there was nothing was would make me aware of this prior.

Next one. Was working out of town and every time I passed this house I kept thinking that a knew this house, that someone used to live there. Had visions of being in living room by the fireplace. Had a few wines one evening with family and said to my dm about this house, she said my dgm and dgf lived there briefly in late teens, before she was born. My dgf took the fireplace and it’s in my dgm house today .

This thread has made me remember this story a poster put on here 7-8 years ago now. It chills me every time I read it:

"In the late 1970s/early 1980's the place to go was TOTS (Talk of The south), which was a Disco in Southend on sea.

We used to go every week.

I started to notice a young man with blond hair. He was always alone and always stood not far from the bar. I would catch his eye and he would stare back but it felt very uncomfortable. He didn't smile back which was very odd as back then I was a gorgeous young thing! ;)

He was there every week and although I was having a riot of a time with my girl friends, I did start to look out for him. No one else appeared to notice him as we were all having such a great time.

He was always dresses the same in shirt and trousers. He wasn't fashionable but he wasn't unfashionable. He was good looking and had a very clear complexion and wavy blond hair.

I chat to anyone but I always had the feeling of being fearful of him and not to approach.

I suppose I just got used to seeing him there.

Fast forward nearly twenty years later and my disco days were long over and my then partner who was in the music business told me that he had to meet someone at the former TOTS. I think there was a name change and instead of a disco it was now a nightclub.

I decided to go with him to see how much it had changed inside.

We got there and off he went to meet this chap, it was only a quick chat.

I strolled around, feeling rather out of place amongst the pretty young things and then wham! Straight in front of me about ten feet away was the boy/man I used to see all of those years ago!

Everything around me seemed to fade away and I could not tear my eyes away from him. He was angry, very angry I could feel his anger and I felt terrified. I was fixed to the spot and I cannot find the words to describe just how petrified I was.

I felt as if I was in grave danger. This young man, perfectly ordinary looking was exactly the same as I'd seen him before. He hasn't aged and his hair and clothes were the same.

All of a sudden, the world started rushing back into view and I could see and hear everything going on around me, I spun around and knew I had to get out of there as soon as I could. Thankfully my now ex had finished with the bloke he had to meet and I tugged on his arm to get us out of there.

I have no idea what or why I saw this young man and why he should be so menacing.

Another poster did suggest that a teenager had been run over and killed nearby but it doesn't explain why this presence would want to scare the crap out of me!

He was so scary because he was so normal looking and whatever it was about him had the power to give off the very strong vibe of anger and danger."
