Parking by Watermelly3
“About two years ago, I went to collect my husband from the ferry after work. My husband got into the car and as I was driving very slowly out of the car park we both noticed two people standing a few metres in front of our car. It looked as though they were strangers, older looking professionals, both walking to their separate cars in different areas of the car park. The man was reaching into his side bag and the …
Doubletake by WhiteZombieCat
One evening, my wife and I were returning home from a party. When I opened the door, I saw my wife sitting at the computer and working, as she almost always is when I come home. The thing is, this time my wife came into the house with me. When we went to bed, I told her that I had seen her sitting at the computer. She became serious then and said that when I opened the door, she also …
Hell’s Kitchen by Anonymous
My glitch in the matrix story actually involves the tv show Hell’s Kitchen. My friends and I were watching the new season together the other night. None of us had seen any of the episodes before or any scenes. So, we were watching it and this one scene started and I experienced an episode of deja vu and I was able to say every line with the people on TV. I was able to do that for about half the …
The Alley View
“One day I was walking to work and all of a sudden had an urge to walk a different path than usual. I work downtown in a big city. It was a strange spur of the moment urge to walk a different way that changed my life forever. I turned into an alley I had never seen before. As I remember it, I made it about 15 feet or so when an actual ‘glitch’ happened. Everything in my mind scrambled. …
Aurora by Sarax11
They were different dreams but for some reason, her distinct face and name always ended up in them. It got to the point where I would wake up frustrated and confused, trying to google her name or find out how I was connected to her. After a few months, she stopped showing up and I dismissed it. Fast forward a few years later, Halloween 2009, I’m in the car with a friend stopped at a gas station. I’m about to …
Lift by Luke Diecidue
I sometimes suffer from episodes of sleep paralysis. The symptoms don’t always include paralysis (at least for me) and can just be “dreams,” really hallucinations, outside of REM sleep. The scary thing is that sometimes I don’t realize that I have even fallen asleep before the hallucinations start. One school night a few years ago, I was watching TV in my bed and I felt myself lift out of my body. I found myself staring down and watching myself looking …
One Day Off by Jared Swansboro
It seemed as if time had decided to move a day back, alluding to my own possible mistakes. The first birthday that I spent with my significant other, I wrote her a poem. September 26th. For three years straight, I read her that poem. She’d laugh, smile, and say how grateful she was. But this past year, that didn’t happen. I was in my dorm, waking up from a long night of essay writing, when I decided to call her …
A Shift Glitch
A long time ago I had a conversation with an old workmate who described [the following]: The detail is hazy, but he said one day he was in his house when he felt a sudden need to go outside and stand on his lawn. He claimed it was the strongest, clearest feeling ever, and on doing so he experienced a sort of “wobble”; he just said everything was screwed up for moment, and he experienced a feeling of detachment/outside-ness. When …
We All Saw My Husband by u/SawScar112013
This happened a few months ago, before all the quarantine, but I still can’t stop thinking about it. We live on a farm and my husband also owns his own construction business. He turned one of the old barns near our house into his business area where he keeps all of his trucks, equipment, office etc. you have to pass our house to get to this particular barn. It was a Saturday and he went alone to finish a job. …
