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)

Just thought of another one.

We'd been on holiday near Edinburgh. Took us maybe 3 hours to drive there (it's ~150 miles from my house to the hotel)

On the way back, we set off just after check out at the hotel, which was 12 noon. We didn't stop or get stuck in any heavy traffic on the way back, but we didn't get back to my house until almost 8pm. Wasn't driving particularly slowly, and the weather was absolutely lovely so wouldn't have accounted for it.

My car has a trip computer so I checked it when we eventually got back, and it showed we'd travelled over 300 miles. Also used almost a full tank of diesel (which normally does ~600 miles). Still have the car and noting else like it has happened, so it's not like it could have been a fault.

I genuinely have no idea why it took so long, or where the extra miles came from! It was so weird!

Honestly, if anyone has an explanation, I'd live to hear it!

@Gargellen - intrigued by your user name. Have you been there? I have several times - beautiful place!!

zurala I’m exactly the same - every watch I’ve ever had always runs slow! And I know that often it’s not the battery because it still happens with brand new ones or ones where the battery has just been changed.

I was in the pub with some of my 'friends' (people I knew) and one girl was looking at me really strangely. So I just said "what are you thinking?' and everything went a blurry on the edges, and slo mo like and she said with (what you might imagine a fake demon voice) 'jealous' and then everything sort of swirled back to normal. And I looked around and everyone in our group was chatting away to each other.

For me, I felt like I had slipped out of time.

It was a horrible feeling, nothing about the encounter made me feel good and I went straight home.

saradegrey that’s incredible! How on earth did that happen?!

When my son was a baby he liked Mam dummies. He would often wake in the night having lost his dummy. I would search high and low in the semi dark and eventfully give up and get a new one resolving to find the lost one in the morning. The thing is I never did. So many dummies went missing never to be found again. We've lived in the same house for 30 years and redecorated that same room many times putting new carpets in and I have never found any of the missing dummies. We actually thought the cat must be pinching them, taking them out of the cat-flap and burying them. 😂

I had been dating a lovely man for less than a year when he went into hospital with suspected appendicitis- 6 weeks later, having had surgery and the discovery of a large tumour, he died after his first dose of chemo. His body was unable to cope with it. He’d supported me through a massive breakdown/ depressive period, and his death rocked me to the core.
A few days later I was still staying at my parents and was feeding mine and 3 other members of the family’s dogs. Suddenly, all 4 dogs started a very low but audible growl whilst looking at the same point in the room. This wasn’t normal for them at all - in fact they’d usually all be focused on their food. I genuinely believe that it was a goodbye from the other side.

I saw an old friend for the first time in about 5 years. I said to her "I saw your dad's letter in the paper" (The Times, not a paper I regularly read - found on a train / in staff room type thing). She looked absolutely thrilled and text her dad to tell him as he'd been waiting for it to be published! Later, I remembered it wasn't her dad's letter I'd seen but the dad of another, completely unrelated friend from a different sphere in my life. Just a bit weird.

This is a long one but I have no explanation for it.

This happened about 10yrs ago. I was driving from my house to a shopping centre and was driving along a motorway. I was doing 70mph in the left and had to change to the middle as the road split. Checked mirrors, motorway totally clear (which was odd in itself) but I still indicated and moved to the middle lane. Cancel indicator and there’s a red coupe type car alongside me in the right hand lane - and I mean matching my speed - it appeared from nowhere and was now moving to it’s left into my lane.

I slowed a little but the car is now really trying to move into my car. I should have braked or sounded my horn but as the road was still totally clear of traffic (just me and the ‘coupe’), I stupidly decided to swerve. Discovered you can’t actually swerve in an old car at 70mph, so I went in to a fish tail skid. The coupe slowed the accelerated and drove off.

I’m frantically trying to control the skid, but it’s impossible. One car passed to my left and I recall seeing the elderly female passenger staring at me open mouthed. The motorway on my side is still devoid of all other traffic.

I eventually lost control of my car, shot across the left lane, hitting the crash barrier nose on at around 60mph.

I’m sitting in the driver seat in stunned silence. I have no injuries and my car has the smallest of dents. It dawns on me I should phone someone to report what’s happened as my car now won’t start.

I look in my wing mirror and the motorway is still totally empty. I reach to the passenger footwell to get my phone and I am aware of a rumbling sound getting louder and louder. I sit up, glance again in my wing mirror and there is a wall of traffic thundering along without a break. We’re talking HGV’s, cement mixers, vans, cars and motorbikes. My car shuddered when the traffic went past with an audible ‘whumph’.

This accident happened on the M1, on a Friday at 11am. There were no other incidents that would have explained the lack of traffic. On a typical day that road is non-stop busy. From the moment I got on the M11 to the few minutes after my accident, it was as if a pause button had been pressed preventing all other traffic on it. So bizarre and I cannot explain it at all.

One day in 2003 I left my suitcase on a train and pressed the emergency assistance button on the platform. The voice on the other end advised me to wait on the platform as the train would soon be at the end of the line and would come back through the station I was at.

While waiting on the platform, I had a call on my mobile from a friend who lived in a different town. He asked me if I had left my suitcase on a train. I said yes and asked how he knew. He said he was sitting at home having his dinner when his landline phone had rang. He had picked it up and all he could hear was me talking to someone about losing my suitcase!

The even stranger thing was that my friend's landline number and mobile number were not listed on my mobile. Also, back in those days I never phoned him from my mobile as we only spoke occasionally on our landline phones. Therefore there was no way my mobile phone could connect to his landline so I couldn't even have accidentally called him that day.

I've never been able to figure out how this happened. Very weird!

@DameDoom you should contact Craig Charles: UFO Conspiracies! I watched it for the first time the other day, and it is really good!

@Lolly49

About two years ago just before lockdown I lost a bracelet was convinced it had come off while doing the recycling.Emptied all my boxes no sign of it on Sunday my DH went for a walk and found it in one of his trainers absolutely bizarre.

I think it fell off your wrist whilst changing your shoes maybe into his shoes?

@Powpw7654 - you were just part of a weird moment for me!

I keep coming back and reading a few more of these every day, and had just got to the page before your story. I remembered something weird that happened in new orleans, 25 years ago, and have just spent the last hour trying to google to see if my experience matched up with dates etc...

I stopped searching, came back to this thread, click to the next page... and find your story.

Two weeks ago I had a very vivid dream about an old school friend being pregnant with a baby girl and announcing her pregnancy on social media. I haven’t seen this woman in many years. The next morning after the dream, I was walking in a car park and I looked up to see her stood in front of me. I said ‘X it’s so weird that I have seen you today, i had a dream last night that you were expecting a baby girl!’
She laughed and said ‘that would raise some eyebrows as DP has had the snip’
Anyway…. two days later I discovered that my best friends Husband has been having an affair with this woman. No confirmation of pregnancy yet, but I am concerned that it may be coming.

My Dad died late at night in autumn 2020. The very next day at 9am the landline in my parents' house rang. It was an old friend of Dad's who he hadn't spoken to for a long time. He must have somehow known! Later when ringing relatives to let them know, my Dad's cousin said she'd thought of him out of the blue that night. I had visions of Dad flying round seeing all his friends and family ...

I have a few of these, but one really stands out. I have a 3 year old lb who has autism and is non verbal, he doesn’t use any speech to communicate at all, ever, and he also doesn’t make eye contact.

Just before Christmas I was buckling him in to his car seat in a bit of a rush, and talking to him as I went, like I always do, explaining I was strapping him in and we were going to go to the post Office Depot and collect a parcel quickly before we had to get back for the school run for my eldest. He looked me in the eyes and said clearly, “no mama, no today.” Then he looked away and continued playing with his fidget toy. It really really startled me, I’ve never heard him say a clear word never mind a small sentence! I stood there in shock for a couple of minutes, it was the first words he’d spoken, never mind a sentence! Anyway, I finished strapping him in and then got in the car, and it wouldn’t start. No idea what was going on but time was ticking and I decided to sack it off and go the next day, and we got out and went to the park before doing the school run.

I started to think I’d imagined him speaking, because despite much encouragement he didn’t say anything else Over the next couple of days (still hasn’t now, 2 months later.

It was only a couple of days later that I really got the shivers. On the day we he spoke, literally ten minutes after, a lorry crashed in to a car 10 minutes drive away, on the road we’d have been on, in probably the same place we’d have been. The people in the car were cut out of it and one person was critically injured.

Freaky.

I have two:

1. When I was a young teenager my mum and I were driving down a road in our home town and I said 'oh, there's the building where I had to walk up all the steps and it was so hot!' My mum asked what I meant and i recounted walking up all the steps in the block of flats, feeling really tired and heavy, and how when I got to the door, a tall man in a brown suit opened the door and smiled and gave me a glass of water, and he opened his window to cool me down and all these papers suddenly blew off his desk and all around the room.

My mum looked shocked and said 'but you can't possibly remember that, I was 8 months pregnant with you and it was ME climbing up all those stairs, because the lift was out of order!. Turns out she was visiting her uncle, who then died when I was a baby.

Second one not freaky but just a bit random: I went to Oxbridge and was at one of the smaller colleges. About 4 years after I left I was living in London and spent the day in the south bank area. During my day I saw a total of four people who had been in my very small year group at uni. All separately, all in the same tiny part of London. Felt like they had run out of extras that day and hoped I wouldn't notice

Adore all these stories. Fascinating...

Wow!!

I thought of another one! Away on our honeymoon, I had an extremely vivid dream that me and my husband were sitting outside a cafe in Spain in a bit of a mood as our ‘punk rocker’ daughter with a shaved head and nose ring was being in a mood with us.
Except we didn’t have a daughter in real life.

A week after our honeymoon I did a pregnancy test and I was pregnant with a girl. Except for the shaved head and nose ring (although she isn’t a teen yet 😂) she looks exactly like the girl in my dream. I would’ve just got pregnant when I had the dream!

Every time we go to Disneyland (annually) I see the "twins" of people I know. One year a family thought my DS was their DS as they looked so alike!

I do sometimes feel like there's some sort of blueprint for "people" and being somewhere where you see many people at the same time magnifies it.

A few years ago an old school friend went viral when he got on a plane and sat next to his "twin".

@Vampirethriller

I was once on my own in my family home, family were all on holiday and only I had keys. I was making jam. I came to put it in jars and couldn't find half the lids, so I left the lidless jars in the pantry and went to bed. Got up in the morning and all the lidless jars now had lids screwed on tight and in every jar was a dead spider.

Gaaaaah that is fucking horrible 🕷🕸

I heard angels singing once. Ethereal song unlike anything I have ever heard, and it was level with my 1st floor window. I was so sure it was angels, I casually mentioned it to my DH and he was like "wtf are you on about?". After that I realised I didn't know why I'd casually assumed it was angels.

Got lost en route to Birmingham and it went very dark and suddenly felt very close, hard to describe just a horrible feeling of dread fell over me, DH and teenage DC. Turned out we had driven through the site of a huge Civil War battle. I think it was is Herefordshire or Worcestershire. It was really horrible.

I came on to say I have a glitch in the matrix moment just about every day, but I don't mean like these. Mine are just things like seeing a particular person walk past on the street, then a minute later seeing them walk past again (and no, I don't mean in the other direction; it's honestly like it's just happening for the first time). tbf @IntermittentParps this is more "glitch in the matrix" than a lot of the posts (inc my own!), I would class a lot of them more as "woo" but I am a massive fan of either kind of post when you see the same person twice to you ever try and speak to them??

No; they’re generally just walking by on the other side of the road or something. Not sure what I could say anyway: ‘hi, are you a glitch?’ 😀
