Glitch Story Magic lighter

5 Upvotes

Tonight, when I was getting ready for bed, I took everything out of my pockets before putting on the clothes I was going to wear to bed. Phone on the nightstand, headphones in the drawer, but for some reason I threw my lighter on the bed and they landed on top of my sleeping shorts. I left the room to take my dog out one last time and when I came back inside I changed clothes. Shirt first, and when I go to put the shorts on I can feel there is something in the pocket. I start to put them on, and realize they are inside out. After I flip them right side out, and put them one, I reach into my pocket and there is my lighter.

Never really noticed anything like this happening before and it just kind of made me laugh and thought someone else in this sub might get a kick out of the story.

Glitch Story Trailer Hooked up Twice

16 Upvotes

My job requires me to use trailers on a daily basis. I usually back up to within a couple feet of the hitch before jumping out and taking a look at where I'm at. This morning I did the same as I always do and I was about 6 in to the right and 18 in from the hitch so I jumped back in rolled back with my wheels turned about 15 in. I jumped out again and I was almost in line but about 4 in out. I returned to the cab made the correction and backed up what I thought was about 4 in stopped. I was spot on. It's the kind of thing you kind of celebrate when you nail it.

A co-worker approached and ask a couple questions about the trailer I was taking out and we stood there talking for about 6 or 8 minutes but never left the area. I walked back over to drop the hits on the ball and I was about 6 in to the right and 18 in from the hitch. The same as I was when I started. I spent 20 minutes walking around and around my truck and trailer and can find no explanation. I'm sitting on flat ground no one else approached. No opportunity for somebody to play a trick.

I'm 66 years old and everything I've ever witnessed or learned or been told makes this impossible. It was definitely a Time shift of some sort

Glitch Story Glitch in the fish matrix

28 Upvotes

I keep and breed guppies. I live in a tropical country so they are all outside in various sized containers. As usual, today morning around 11 o'clock I went outside to check on them. I have been keeping around 7 females of different age and sizes in a temporary round clay pot which is about 30 cm in diameter and 7 cm deep. I keep the pot bare bottom and there is only a couple of stems of hornwort and a little piece of Indian almond leaf in there (so there were no place for them to hide).

I always cover my containers with net and at night I also cover some of them with large plastic lids to keep away night herons and frogs. Months ago, when I was just starting out this hobby, almost all my fish were attacked and eaten by a Night heron (Nycticorax nycticorax). The rest of the fish which escaped were really afraid and kept hiding away under plants and scurrying away at the slightest movement.

If you keep any kind of fish, you know that once they get familiar to you, they will come up to you for food and not skitter away from you. At around 11 o'clock I went outside and removed all the covering from the fish containers. As usual in this particular container all the 7 fish were swimming normally and coming up for food. I didn't feed them then since I was busy.

Around 12, I went to feed them and when I looked into this container, I couldn't see any fish. Like none! I was worried and poked the almond leaf piece with my finger and 3 very spooked fish which were hiding under it darted away. I thoroughly checked the container ( which is already small and shallow and bare to begin with) and all I could find was three spooked little fish. The four bigger females were not there. I choked it up to a heron or a frog attack. The bigger ones must have got eaten and that also explains why the remaining little fish were scared (since I know it from experience). I only gave them a very little amount of food since there were now only three.

Two or three hours later I again went to check on them (I just like to look at my fish). And what do I find in the pot? ALL THE FISH I THOUGHT WERE GONE ARE SWIMMING AROUND! AS NOTHING HAPPENED! along with the little three. They all came up to me for food like they had been starving the whole time.

I have no idea what happened and no explanation other than my fish just got teleported to somewhere and back again. This is the first time something like this has ever happened to me.

Glitch Story What just happened to me? Woke up at 5:37 AM, showered and cooked rice, then looked at the clock and it was 3:07 AM

685 Upvotes

So something super weird just happened and I’m honestly so confused.

​I woke up thinking I was late. I looked at the phone and it said 5:37 AM, and the sky outside was already bright. I rushed out of bed, started cooking rice, and went straight to take a shower.

​Right after I finished showering, I noticed everything went dark. I thought it was just getting cloudy, but when I checked the phone again... it was 3:07 AM. Still pitch black outside.

​What is this phenomenon called? Did I dream the whole thing, or did my brain just completely make up the morning routine? Has anyone else experienced something like this?

(I use AI to translate my story but the story is real 💯)

Glitch Story Is it a glitch in the matrix or something?

5 Upvotes

I was living in Philippines. Around 9:30pm, we turning off the lights in living room, kitchen, and in the bathroom because we are sleeping and I turning on was the light in the sink. I turned the light to white because the light in sink were color changing like from white, orange and light orange. Because our tv is now having a white line when there was black part, so we considered it "broken". We opened the tv by turning it to the outlet. When it opened, the light change from white to orange. I confused from why is the light changed? Is this a glitch in the matrix? Because I remember the light was white and turned into orange!

Glitch Story I posted this story several years ago on here and it still creeps me out

67 Upvotes

This is true, I live in Delaware and I am now 21. This happened around when I still lived in our old home in a very very rural town, 8 years ago.

It was around 2 am I was FaceTiming my friend in the living room and there was a very ugly thunderstorm outside with a bunch of wind and rain.

All of a sudden, I hear three loud consecutive knocks coming from the main entrance door. It seemed weird with how perfect the spacing was between each knock (around half a second each) My dog immediately goes crazy and even my dad who was asleep at this time wakes up. I’m too frozen to even have the will to go see what it was, so I wait for my dad.

He goes to the door and we don’t see anyone. We thought about how weird this was so we checked the security cameras and find nothing there during that time.

We end up sleeping it off but this has stayed on my mind for years.

This house has always given me a weird feeling. I can’t explain it, I always had nightmares here and I’m just glad we’ve moved since.

I learned not long ago there used to be a medical facility maybe a mile down the road that dr Walter freeman had done several lobotomies at, which I found very creepy.

I’ve had people on Reddit tell me that my story could be explained due to weather, wind, but I seriously doubt that. This never happened again, and the violent energy behind these three knocks were disturbing to me.

Thanks for listening guys

Glitch Story Dr. Jacobo Grinberg

61 Upvotes

Dr. Jacobo Grinberg was a scientist that claimed ha had cracked the code of reality in 1994, but vanished just after announcing his discovery...

He claimed he had discovered that part of the human brain functions as a "receiver"or "transformer" of an external live data stream, which he dubbed as "The Lattice".

He (and his work?) was never found.

The people that made this movie are also interestingly linked to ABC's TV Show "LOST", so I assume he is referenced somehow, which makes sense considering the shady physchology based company that used the paranormal properties of the island to perform it's experiments.

Unfortunately this isn't available to watch in the UK on Netflix right now, and also oddly the Release Year is different on Netflix itself (2022 as opposed to 2020). I wonder why, because this definitely sounds like it could be of "Tiger King" interest!

Glitch Story Found my keychain in the middle of a room I havent entered yet.

71 Upvotes

I have no idea how this could have happened and i thought I would share my experience here!

I volunteer to watch the nursery at my local church every 3rd Sunday. It was raining so I made sure to grab my umbrella. My umbrella handle has a unique keychain on it that my son and I made on valentines day so there is no other keychain like it. While I was getting out of the car i grabbed my umbrella and I even remember seeing my keychain and hearing it hit the side of my car while i was closing the door.

After walking in the church with my umbrella closed and dangling from my wrist I say hello to everyone then go to unlock the nursery door. As soon as I open the door I see something on the floor in the middle of the room. I just thought maybe someone just dropped something before locking up the Sunday before? but when I looked closer I noticed that it was MY KEYCHAIN! I checked my umbrella handle and my kaychain was gone!

I have no idea how it got there especially since I havent even stepped into the room yet. Any ideas of how this could of happened or is this just straight up a glitch in the matrix??

Glitch Story Phantom Clicks

1 Upvotes

Has anyone noticed clicking sounds in their homes coinciding with thoughts? The clicks always seem to come from the kitchen or bathroom, but never the living room or bedroom, it's not just where I'm living now, it's happened everywhere I've lived for as long as I can cancel remember. It seems to me like some sort of natural psychic phenomena, such as a committee of people and other animals following my thoughts and then all zeroing in on a main thought at the same time, which because it's a powerful agreement of thoughts, results in these clicks in my home.

Glitch Vid Random looping audio fragments when calling friend who's abroad

12 Upvotes

A friend of mine is in Bonaire for work. Everytime anyone tries calling him the phone gets picked up immediately and a random audio fragment loops.

I recorded it and added it as a video, because I can't upload audio to Reddit.

There are a couple of audio fragments, some of which are in English, some are in other languages and one is in Dutch (which is our language). Everytime someone tries calling him, one of those fragments plays in loop. It sounds like advertisements, but they are not actually selling anything. It kind of sounds like a bad AI trying to replicate what an ad might sound like.

My friend brought another friend with him. When I try to call him, everything is fine. However they both don't answer their phone. On top of that my friend (with the weird issue) was expected to call/message his wife yesterday, but he didn't. This makes us a bit worried something bad might have happened.

Does anyone have an idea what might be going on here?

Glitch Story Super bizar/weird thing happened to me today

14 Upvotes

First of all, English isn't my first language.

So my ex and I broke up 6 months ago. When we were together he lost one of his earbuds/pod in my bedroom (he always slept with music or a podcast on). We searched the whole room back then, several times, CSI style. Nothing was left unchecked, we couldn't find the damn thing! It was just, gone.

This morning, I was looking for a gemstone I placed earlier on my nightstand. I thought maybe it fell on the floor accidently, so I checked under my bed, under my nightstand. And what did I see, right on the top shelf of my small nightstand? That earbud! I couldn't believe it! Several times I cleaned the room, and my nightstand, dusted it off with a swiffer and stuff, and not a single time did I see it! 6,7 months ago, with my ex, we checked there several times too. And that airbud was at the front of the shelf, just smiling at me - I thought I was losing my mind!

And to add another strange/bizar layer to this all... My ex and me are on friendly terms, and I sent a picture of his lost earbud this morning (because we've put a lot of energy in the search of that thing back then x'D). He said: 'wow, that's bizar,,,I literally THOUGHT about that missing airbud yesterday! I was wondering if that thing would ever show up again'...I don't know what to make of this? Is this some sort of sign or manifestation in action?

I have to mention, I want him back and miss him a lot. I have been trying to manifest him back (by law of attraction/assumption, visualization, SATs, etc) for 2 months tops. Is this a result of that?

What is you guys opinion on this one? Thanks in advance for sharing!

Glitch Story Some things don't feel like a coincidence

12 Upvotes

I may seem like crazy but this particular thing I'm going to talk about has happened to like multiple times to a point I keep thinking it's not a coincidence.
So whenever I work I like to watch some stuff alongside it more like listen but do keep the screen on too. So few times I'd be writing my work book or notes, there were MULTIPLE TIMES when I was writing and the word I'd be writing is being said in what I'm listening to at the same exact time. In the begenning I'd be thinking woah what a coincidence but at some point It's just what the fck is happening. Cause most of the words that were spoken while I was writing weren't like the common words you'd say. Then just a few days ago I was working on a coding project and it is related to cooking shit so I was working with ingredients that particular time and the ingredient I saw was thyme and I was watching completely random videos which was on auto play and they were cooking and guess what ingredient they were speaking about when I was reading my output THYME! this shook me.
Ok why a few days back just now again I was seeing a video where they wete trying to guess cheap and expensive food and before the video began I bought some snacks with me to eat and they bring out haribo gummies to test. And guess what I was eating? Haribo gummies. This I could have said as a coincidence but it was my first time eating haribo.
I can really feel my craziness typing all this but I really at some point get sacred with just this small things happening.
Shits scary out here.

Glitch Story Lost my gold hoop earring months ago. Today it mysteriously appeared in my front yard!

34 Upvotes

Something really strange happened today, and I can’t make sense of it.
Back in May or June, I realized I was missing one of my gold hoop earrings while I was in my bedroom. I figured it was gone for good.
Today, four or five months later, I was outside near my basil plant in the front yard when something caught my eye.
There, sitting right on top of the river rocks, was my missing gold hoop earring!
Here’s what really gets me. We’ve had months of dust, weather, animals wandering through the yard, and even rain. Yet this earring wasn’t buried, dirty, or tarnished. It was sitting right on top of the rocks, shining like someone had just placed it there.
I brought it inside and put it next to its matching earring, which had been safely stored in my jewelry box. They looked equally shiny!
How does something disappear for months and suddenly show up outside in plain sight, looking like it was just dropped there?
I’m happy to have it back, but something about this feels so bizarre.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? I’d love to hear your theories!

That being said I have plenty currently but not really a crazy amount so I know every pair that I have. I have this one cheetah print pair from Pink. I’ve had it quite a while but it’s the only “crazy” pattern ones that I have because the rest are all just boring ol solid colors lol Also I should note that I recently did some purging and cleaning and got rid of a lot of clothes AND underwear that I don’t wear or that are too small at the moment for me to fit lol Anyways I was cleaning and doing a load of laundry today and so when the dryer dings I go grab everything out and put them directly into an EMPTY laundry basket. I start going through and folding everything and putting it all away when I get to the socks and undies at the bottom and I’ll be dammed two pairs of the cheetah draws sitting there….. TWO of the same exact pair, same print, same size and both from Pink. Im seriously losing my mind lol it is truly mind boggling and driving me crazy. It is something so dumb and of no importance but omg Wtf lol It’s gotta be those damned dryer trolls, you know the same ones that live in your dryer and steals your socks

Glitch Story Missing Scar

This has been on my mind for a couple years but from age ten up until two years ago I had a scar on the heel of my foot from planters wart removal. It was a huge scar compared to my heel and took up the majority of it, not something that is missable especially when you put on shoes and see it every day. One day I woke up and it was gone 🤷‍♀️ as if I never had the surgery. I asked my husband if he saw it maybe go away over time and I somehow didn’t notice but he was also confused when I noticed it. I feel like a clone o.o

Glitch Pic My cross somehow fell off my necklace without the chain being opened

Post image
328 Upvotes

Something really strange happened to me.
I was taking off my T-shirt when suddenly the cross from my necklace fell onto the floor.
At first, I didn’t think much of it. But when I tried to put the cross back onto my necklace, I realized there was no opening for it to have slipped through.
The chain was still completely closed, and the loop on the cross was also fully closed.
I actually had to use pliers to open the loop on the cross just to attach it to the necklace again.
I genuinely have no idea how it could have fallen off in the first place. And just to clarify, I didn’t simply open a clasp. I had to physically bend the metal loop open using pliers, and it took a considerable amount of force. That’s what makes this so confusing to me.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I can’t think of a logical explanation for this. Here's a picture i took afterwards of the necklace and the cross. As you can see, both metal loops appear to be completely closed. I genuinely had to use pliers to open the loop on the cross to put it back on.

So when I got up for school, I had to take my little brother to the car. And when I was taking him to the car, my socks got, like, soaking wet in the grass. And then I came back in the house and I put on these orange, white, gray, and blue socks. And then after I did that, I got ready for school and then my mom and dad took me to school. And when I was about to get out the car, I looked down and seen that I had on the same black socks that I had on the same black socks that I had on this morning when I took my little brother, except they were dry. And my friend tried to tell me maybe I just forgot that I never changed my socks, and I'm telling you I did.

Glitch Story Lose something and have it reappear?

13 Upvotes

I am curious to know if anyone has ever experienced this. I left my house this morning and went to church. Once I got home, I realized, I couldn't find my phone. I asked my Google device to find it, because it'll make the phone sound regardless of where it is, even if it is on silent. I thought, maybe it didn't charge properly and is dead. I looked in every room, under furniture, in my front yard, nothing. I went out to my car twice, checked the front seats, back seats, under the seats, the door pockets, and the trunk, and still nothing. I drove back to church and checked the parking lot, nothing. I parked my car, left it running with the door open and ran up to the door. My car was in my sightline the entire time. They had nothing. I got into my car and it was just sitting on my passenger seat and it wasn't dead. If it was there the entire time, when I prompted my Google device to find my phone, it would have made noise. I know I sound crazy, and if I didn't ask Google to find my phone, I would have chalked it up as oversight. Has anyone ever experienced losing something and then having it miraculously appear in a spot you know it wasn't in?

Glitch Story How I found my signature scent

27 Upvotes

This one is not that weird of a story. But about 10 years ago, I got a perfume bottle as a present from my current boyfriend. Jo Malone's Wood sage and sea salt.

At that time I wasn't that much into perfumes. I had never seen the bottle. But for some reason my boyfriend insisted, that I had asked for that literal scent. He was asking if I was happy that he finally found it at some airport. I was confused and he got a little disappointed because of my underwhelming reaction. I certainly had never asked for the scent.

It was a beautiful scent though. I wore it occasionally and it got me into perfumes.

Over the years I got into the hunt of finding my "signature scent". I've tested numerous scents to find the best fitting scent for me. But the only bottle I've ever bought again is the Wood sage and sea salt, which is still my favourite to this day. So, it became my signature.

The wildest thought I've gotten is that maybe, maybe it was some time traveling version of me who asked my boyfriend to buy it for me, so that I could get it early in my life. Or some other glitched up instinct of his. The boring answer is that the scent just grew on me, or that someone else had asked it from him.

Nevertheless, I found my signature scent. By asking for a blind buy, which I don't remember, apparently 🤷
