To ask your "glitch in the matrix" moment?

[bloomingheck1]

Hello,

I had a glitch in the matrix last night whilst dying my hair, I took the nozzle off the bottle and put it on the sink and then I mixed the dye etc and when I went to get the nozzle it was gone, I moved everything off the sink, looked on the floor but it was gone so I managed without and then once the hair dye was on I found the nozzle on the sink on top of something I'd moved and I swear it wasn't there before! Not a major event but it was a bit weird.

Do you have any glitch in the matrix stories? (Basically unexplained events)

I used to have a Fitbit zip, very small thing. One day it vanished from where it had been in my bedroom. I turned the place upside down, couldn’t find it. I said out loud “angels, please help me find my Fitbit” I then left the room and came back and there was a quiet bang from my lipstick box (which has a lid) I opened it and there was my Fitbit.

But the scariest thing I've ever had happen to me was just pure coincidence...arrived home at night, turned the car engine off and all the lights in the street went out in a powercut at the exact same time. Even turned the engine back on in case it had been me that did it!

Recently my son did a loud fart and the lights all flickered and went out. Not scary but a hilarious coincidence! Turned out to be a power cut that covered half the town and lasted all morning so I’m assuming his fart didn’t cause it

Another weird one but this was my mam.
She had a phone call from a young boy, he called her mam and when she told him he had the wrong number he was adamant that she was his mother. She kept apologising telling him she wasn't and that he must have had the wrong number. He was crying down the phone completely convinced she was his mam. She hung up in the end.
Who doesn't know the sound of their mothers voice? It made me wonder if she had all boys in an alternate universe and he was calling his mother in his world, but connected to this worlds version.

Probably a more reasonable explanation but she found it creepy either way.

Lol. Just remembered another one. Set a date for our wedding. Harry and Meghan announced their engagement. There was loads of speculation in the press about the possible date but some how I just knew it would be the same day we had picked and low and behold it was.

This is maybe more woo than glitch but a few years ago my youngest apparently had a sick big but wasn't rallying after 36 hours and I just felt like it was serious. I eventually decided to take her to A and E, even though she had no fever or anything. As I strapped her into the car I clearly heard a voice in her ear say "this is the moment that you save her life".

In hospital they were unconcerned and going to send her home, but one older nurse said "it's her 4th child and if a 4 times mum is worried, I am worried". It subsequently turned out dd had a total bowel obstruction and she ended up having part of her intestines removed. Without the operation she would have died within a day or two

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 don't understand what you mean.

The following has happened to me at my computer about 50 times:

I'll be writing something, like an email or an essay, with some audio on in another window, for example, a youtube debate, blogger, interview or talk-based radio programme on at the same time, and just as my fingers are typing a phrase, someone on the audio says exactly the same phrased that I just typed.

Freaks me out!

When we where younger all living together my sister was coming down the stairs, I could hear her chatting on her way down, she walked into the living room and went white and stared at me shocked …she had just walked down the stairs as I apparently walked up the stairs and had a conversation with me!

Some 30 years later that story still makes us all get goosebumps!! She remembers it vividly and i will never forget her face scared looked at me!

I was in York with my partner, and we were walking to the castle on the hill at the far end of the town, and there was a bloke selling walks, and as I walked past, he said "Hello, riceuten", which was a bit woo, as

i) I didn't know him (it was my first time in York)
ii) I hadn't spoken to my partner in front of him in either direction
iii) I wasn't wearing a name badge ;-)

Loving this .. placemarking

I lost my pandora bracelet in March last year, i took it off at the dining table before bathing the children. I forgot to put it back on after and remembered the next morning. The table hadn't been used but it was no where to be seen. I asked the kids and they all said the last place was when they saw me taking it off at the table.

I searched every single room. I did the thing where you ask people to bring it back. I even ordered myself a cheap one from ebay and got a couple of replica charms because I loved them so much.

In July, my youngest found the bracelet in the middle of the floor in DS room! During this time we redecorated DS room - removed carpet and put down vinyl and new furniture, so we definitely would have seen it! Everything had been hauled out and sorted through.

I read this thread earlier and thought nothing ever happens to me like this.
Shortly after we were watching a film my daughter paused it and put the remote on the coffee table to tell me something, the dog started barking something she rarely does and shortly after the TV started playing again.
Buttons still on coffee table. Only one set. No where near the dog or the child.
Slightly freaked me out.

I remember another one!
I was travelling for work nowhere near my hometown or where my office was based.
Went to pay for petrol and this man stopped me said with a big smile - hello, how are you ‘’my name and my husband name.
I have quite a rare name , it was like he knew me & husband quite well! I stared and the poor bloke realised I didn’t have a clue who he was and turned and walked away.
I honestly never seen him in my life and my reaction to not having a clue who he was was obvious!! I phoned my husband up and described him he didn’t have a clue either or knew anyone from the town I was in.
I always wander if I will ever see him again!!

I had a gold heart onyx ring as a teenager that went missing from my bedside table. Put it there when I got into bed ome night and by the morning it had disappeared. I assumed I must have knocked it off in my sleep but despite searching everywhere in my room I never ever found it.

When I was first dating my exh he decided to go fishing one day while I was going to have an afternoon nap. A little while later he came back and woke me up. He stood at the end of the bed and we had a conversation for about 10 or 15 mins. I fell back to sleep and when I woke again he wasn't there. I got quite a surprise when he got home as he hadn't been back at all, he gone somewhere quite a distance away so couldn't have just nipped back. I must have dreamt it but it felt so real!

I had a weird one many years ago. Was online dating. Had a few brief messages with a man and we had a connection about visiting Botswana. That was the only reason I agreed to meet him. We had really only chatted about our experiences there.

We met for a coffee. Exchanged hellos, brief chat about how we'd got to London for the date. He asked me if I had children, which I do. He said said he did not have children but had two god children.

I immediately knew who they were and said I knew who they were. He looked at me and said I couldn't possibly know as he had never mentioned them, we had not spoken of any mutual acquaintances, knew very little of each other. All of which was true. There was no way in this world I could possibly know who his god children were. We had not discussed friends, connections, anything really. I said to him that I didn't know the names of the children but I knew that the father was an old school friend of mine who I had not seen probably for 15 years by then. I had lost touch with this friend, didn't know if he was married or even had children but somehow I knew that his godchildren were the children of my old school friend.

And they were. I said the name of my friend and we both sat there in shocked silence. We tried to work out how I could have known, went through his online dating profile, went through our brief messages. There was nothing to suggest I could possibly have known this.

It was the most bizarre thing. We all lived hundreds of miles away from each other, had no other connections at all.

I couldn't know this and yet I had known it as soon as he mentioned his godchildren.

We went on one further date but that was it. It was all a bit too weird. I think he thought I must have stalked him. I could not work out how I could have known.

More spooky than glitchy.

One night as a teen I was lying in bed and felt the mattress dip down by my head. It was a memory foam mattress and I could feel the sort of gap under my arm where it had been. I was half awake and it registered that this wasn't normal but simultaneously I also knew it was just my nana and I could go back to sleep.

Next morning I went downstairs and told my dad what had happened. He isn't woo at all and I was expecting he'd tell me I was being daft. He went white and told me to go back upstairs and tell my mam. So I did and she went white and asked if my dad had put me upto it.

I said yeah he told me to come up and tell you. Then my dad came up and was stood in the doorway and said to my mam, tell her what happened. Turned out my mam had woken up in the night and seen my nana at the bottom of her bed, just smiling and then she disappeared.

My nana had been gone for maybe 8/9 years at that point, it wasn't an anniversary and we hadn't been talking about her so no reason for it to be in our subconscious. But the mattress dipping was very real and I felt it happen. Even now it should freak me out but it doesn't, was kind of nice.

That tv one has reminded me of standing in my bedroom the other night. I suddenly thought I'd quite like to see what was happening in the news and vaguely looked in the direction of the tv.

The tv then switched itself on, to the right channel for the news.

There is almost certainly an tech explanation for this, and would love for someone to explain how it happens- just today, I was listening to music on the radio on Alexa downstairs. Then went upstairs into my bedroom, and the Alexa in there was playing the same radio station and song, but with about a 20 second delay. How can that be, I thought radio was live?

I was in my first term at university, new city and surroundings and I was also recently bereaved. I don't believe in ghosts and not at all wooo, I strongly feel that everything has a rational explanation so I try not to look closely at this memory because I can't explain it.
My seminars were in a tall tower building. One morning I decided to go to the top floor and look at the view. One side of the building overlooked a park, the other side a large old cemetery.
It was a gloomy, rainy day and I was alone looking out of the window. Down in the cemetery there was a funeral just arriving. I gazed on in a melancholy kind of way.
As I was watching a member of university staff came out of an office and said 'awful day for it' looking down to where I was staring at the mourners.
I sadly agreed and carried on watching. I stayed there for the entire thing and I remember watching the last few stragglers leave. I could see each person clearly- their handbags and their black umbrellas and so much detail.

Later, out of curiosity I decided to go into the cemetery to see who had been buried. When I arrived at the large ornate gate it was locked, with a large sturdy padlock that was rusted on. There was a sign from the council that the cemetery was closed indefinitely due to hazardous falling stone monuments and gravestones. Looking through the gate I could clearly see very old stones and tombs that were sinking into the ground or had peices fallen off.
I reasoned there must be special exceptions and started looking for another entrance. There was one more gate with the same rusty padlock and sign. Around the outside of the cemetery there was a very high wall, about 12ft high.

I was so disturbed by this that I kept returning to the gates, looking for a clue that they were sometimes opened. I walked the circumference of the cemetery several more times. I looked it up online, looked on council records couldn't find any mention of it.

A couple of years later after renovation the whole place was re-opened. I scoured the cemetery for new graves but all of the stones were hundreds of years old and they don't hold new burials there. It is a historic site with visitor centre and tour guides now.

I don't have any explanation for this, except a hallucination. But it felt 100% real in every way.

Nothing moving by itself or anything like that but about 15 years ago I was tidying my room and suddenly there was a loud pop in one ear followed by the sound of people talking. It was the strangest feeling, almost like hearing a conversation and then the people realise and move away. It faded to nothing. The voices were in my head if you know what I mean, rather than it being like overhearing people in the next room or next door.

Yes, I have had this a few times but could never make out their conversations… alternate universe?

Oh and the iPod I lost after coming back from holiday. Turned everything upside down looking for it. We had one of those shell suitcases so there was nowhere inside for it to hide. Gave up, bought a new one.

Got the case down from the loft for the next holiday, there was a funny rattle as I did so. The iPod was obviously inside. No explanation.

vampirethriller that’s one of the weirdest things I’ve ever read! Think I’d want to sell the family home! Did you have anything else happen?

I was 8 years old in 1997 and I was sitting on the floor in front of the tv and VHS player, I took an Only Fools and horses tape out of its box (series 2, first 3 episodes) and put it on the floor in front of my feet so I could take the current VHS tape out of the player, when I went to pick up the tape I wanted to watch it had gone. I hadn't gone anywhere, I literally just ejected a tape and put it down to my left but I never saw that tape again and even now I'm like wtf 😂

My grandad made me a ring when I was a teenager, it was made in his workshop and had immense sentimental value to me. My grandad unfortunately passed away a few years later.
When we moved into our first house after getting married, I lost the ring. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find it. I gave up and resigned myself that it was lost forever.
Then one day it appeared placed on top on some folded jumpers in my wardrobe. Not in a position where you’d expect to see it if it had fallen off?! I was so happy!

My absolute weirdest one happened after a run. I was still buzzing and was bouncing around the kitchen with AirPods still in.

I then saw part of the kitchen worktop just suddenly warp upwards by a few inches and then crash back down into place. It made a real noise and the biscuits that were on there were also thrown up.

I just stood in total shock. No visible sign of any damage to the worktop or nearby afterwards. So so odd
