I discovered this phonomenon by accident a while ago. I love Liverpool generally and I am fascinated by this. Has anyone got any theories or had any experiences? I like the idea of time looping back on itself and different times existing at the same time <a class="break-all" href="https://www.google.co.uk/url?q=www.reddit.com/r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix/comments/6408e7/bold_street_liverpool_uk_time_slip_central_caused/&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwid6rL-9pLVAhUlD8AKHfXnAgAQFggbMAU&usg=AFQjCNGwAY6EoMs2QgFnOYkDvqzsYTJOYw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Liverpool Time Slips

I'm not religious but I really really hope that when you die you find out all the secrets of the universe.

Youcan, asfaik, time isn't linear, certainly according to Ian McEwen Grin(bad memories of being forced at college to read The child in timeGrin) I swear I sometimes have the feeling that things that have happened before, are just starting again somehow

Mandy, I hope that when we die, we meet everyone we felt a connection to in this life (At the moment, one of them would be Chester Bennington) but maybe that wouldn't work, as they didn't feel a connection to you also?, and that we get to find out answers to all our unanswered questions

"Nothing of my own to add but wasn't there a famous post about a poster seeing herself in the past and future? As a child she had looked out of her bedroom window to see a strange woman in the garden. Then as a grown woman she was back at her childhood home. She was in the garden and looked up at her old bedroom window to see herself as a child looking back."

I remember that one. I also remember a similar one told by another MNer. When she was in her early 20s she and a group of friends had just left a nightclub and were waiting for a taxi, she felt they were being watched and noticed a woman, probably in her 40s, on the other side of the road staring at them. Then when she was in her 40s she was walking home late one night down the road that the nightclub she used to go to was in - she noticed a group of 20-something women outside the nightclub and saw her 20 year old self looking at her.

Not quite the same but whenever I drive to the next village - about 15 mins- it always feels as if it's taken three or four times as long. I have taken to checking my watch repeatedly.

LoveMySituation · 03/08/2017 12:53

Words are you actually looking forward to going there or do you not want to? So much seems to affect our perception of time

Wordsaremything · 03/08/2017 19:04

Neither , really - I go there for groceries and other errands, or pass through it en route to other places. The same thing happens both ways though - out and back!

13Bastards · 03/08/2017 19:26

I've now scared myself reading these!

LoveMySituation · 03/08/2017 19:42

Has it always been like that? Do you have anyone to ask how long it takes them? So interesting, I have nights that even though I'm sleeping, I wake up a few times and the night seems to go on forever, other nights, still wake up during, but it goes by in as flash

OP posts:
LoveMySituation · 03/08/2017 19:46

Just thought, if you pass through it, do you still get to the place you were going to at the time you would have expected to arrive there?

13 , how so? I find it comforting that things aren't how they seem

The OP has privacy concerns, and so we've agreed to take this down now.

I think it's the fear of the unknown more than anything. I find things like this fascinating but a bit scary at the sane time.

vlooby · 03/08/2017 20:07

13 I just had exactly the same feeling

LoveMySituation · 03/08/2017 20:25

Yep, I know what you mean. I like to think I'd love to be caught in a time slip, but I know I'd actually panic

I love time slip stories. This one about a village in Suffolk has a nice menacing air about it. 1957 and three 15 year old boys believe they slipped back to the 14th century.

LoveMySituation · 05/08/2017 17:03

I remember reading that one Scaramanga. Interesting, I live in a similar place at present, and I think you would struggle to see the differences between now and the fourteenth centuryGrin

My parents had what I think was a timeslip experience. We were all on holiday visiting family in Ireland (Donegal) in the 1970s. My parents went out for a meal leaving us small children with my granny, grandpa and great aunt and uncle. They came back raving about how lovely the food had been and my granny eventually said that she would pay to take us all the following evening. My great aunt and uncle were quite excited to be taken out to this new restaurant.

My dad had an amazing sense of direction and could always find his way once he'd been somewhere once. He drove straight to the place he'd parked in the night before and the restaurant was exactly where he had described - except that it was abandoned, and not recently abandoned either. He was absolutely sure about the directions. The great aunt and uncle had thought that it was that restaurant he as talking about and that it must have recently reopened after many years of being closed.

LoveMySituation · 22/08/2017 20:31

Wow cankles, that's amazing. That it lasted long enough to have a whole evening in. Were there other people eating there as well? What vintage dress were they in?

OP posts:
Canklesofglitter · 22/08/2017 22:50

My dad said that people were wearing suits like in the 60 and there was 60s music. My relatives said that the restaurant was abandoned about 10 years earlier which would be around 1966.

SnickersWasAHorse · 22/08/2017 22:54

They ate a ghost dinner!!!

LoveMySituation · 22/08/2017 22:59

Grin Snickers, I was wondering how the food tasted, I can't get my brain around how that would work time wise!
