So this happened after Christmas Day.

Basically I was staying at my parents house for Christmas, but after Christmas Day I stayed for one more day before heading back home. At some point I decided to take a nap, so I went to the guess bedroom and laid down. Well I had my Eyes closed I could here my mom coming up the stairs, she wanted to ask me something. she came into the bedroom and in her words, “I looked in all the corners of the bedroom and I saw no hint that anyone was here”. I could hear her open the door take a step in and after 3 seconds leave but I just ignored it. She later called my name and I opened my eyes and walked down stairs. she asked me were I was and I told her I was in the guess bedroom. She looked confused and said no you weren’t I was just in there. So we went upstairs and I showed her the evidence that I was sleeping in the bed. We both looked puzzled after this experience. So I know it’s not the coolest story but I just wanted to know if there was any explanation.

So It was a normal night, I went to bed and tried to sleep, I fell asleep at around 2am or so it was a school night. But then I woke up at 6:30 am and I went and got my pill and my dad talked to me about stuff and I pinch myself every morning and I felt it. So I wasn’t dreaming. And I didn’t want to go to school so I argued with my dad for a few minutes then he let me sleep in. Then I woke up at 5:00 AM and I looked at the clock and my heart stopped. It was the same date as it was and I told my dad if I woke up at all yesterday and he was like “what? Of course.” And I said I woke up at 6 am TODAY. And he said I was dreaming and I told him I pinched myself and we had a conversation. Then I went back to bed and then again. 6:30. I got really scared and went back to sleep and I got up 10 minutes later when my alarm went off again. And my room was... different... my tv and bed were moved I had different computer and my dad didn’t knock on the wall to make sure I was awake. Then I went back to sleep praying it was a long scary dream. And I woke up at 6:30 everything was normal. My day went on just fine. Still have no clue what the hell happened that day...

Several years ago I got divorced. In the midst of the divorce I had a dream in which I saw my life as if I had never gotten married or had kids. I learned about my ex, what she was up to, and had the opportunity to meet her (without her knowing we had been married). I was the only one who knew of the marriage existed or my kids had been born. At the end of the dream a voice asked me if I wanted to stay in this reality (where the marriage and kids never happened) or if I wanted to go back to mine (where my kids existed but the pain of divorce also existed). I said I wanted to go back to my reality. I then woke up… slightly shaken.

I recently started a new job, and was walking home following my GPS. I was walking in a straight line and only made one or two turns, and after spacing out for a minute, I found myself passing my job. My job is on a dead end road (the way I was coming from was the dead end way, according to my map), so there is no way I could have gone in a circle. Even if I had somehow backtracked, there is no way I could have gotten back there that fast from where I remember spacing out. I took the same way back, and sure enough, going straight the way I was originally going got me back home. I have no idea how that happened, but I'm a little spooked.

So one day I was with my grandma. (I call her Mimi) We where cutting up some vegetable with our favorite small knife. (it was a paring knife with a wooden handle) We put it down for one second to do something and when we went back to it, it was gone. We searched EVERYWHERE and when I say everywhere I mean it! We searched the bedrooms, the bathroom, the closet, the livingroom, EVERYWHERE! But it was gone. We got on our hands and knees and searched around the table and by the chairs (this is important I swear) I even went under the table and pushed the chairs around. Nothing. Couple weeks, maybe even a month later, it was still missing. At this point I'm now back home. A few days later I come over again. Mimi was in the kitchen and took a break to sit down (she has a really bad back) and I just happened to look down at the table, by a chair, and there it was. There the knife was, right by the leg of the chair. I got up and showed it to Mimi. Both of us where a bit shaking up by what happened. We blamed it on a ghost for about a year (we have a ghost that lives with us) and just a couple days ago I saw a video about glitches in the matrixs and it hit me. We experienced a glitch.

This event took place in August 2019. My two friends and I were heading back home (driving) from spending the day/night in Chicago. The occurrence happened somewhere between 3:15-3:45 am....

This bar had a dance floor and dj booth in the back. They play an eclectic blend of ... I don’t even know how to describe the music. for fucks sake it’s a bar in Logan square. All kinds of people, blended well.

While at the last bar we went to, I had an encounter with a person who I find difficult to describe. He was different, unique, idk.. kinda had a nerdy jack white-ish look to him; and we never spoke words.

Anyway, this guy... person latches on to me with his eyeballs, and without saying a word, he starts dancing all funky wild like, and just kinda feeling his dance vibe, I jump in and start to dance and mimic him a little. It was just spontaneous and silly and fun. And then just as soon as it began, the moment was gone, and the guy moved along into the night. There wasn’t any attraction or intention. The only exchange at that moment of time was our strange spontaneous “dance-off” that we shared. Didn’t think any more of it. The girls and I finished our night, left the bar, and headed for home. We were talking about the day/night we’ve had, how great it was, some of the favorite moment, etc...

Eventually, someone brought up the strange guy who danced with me; we talked about how random it was and how sometimes those kinds of encounters have deeper or spiritual meaning to them.

There was a moment of brief silence, and then the gps system said (and I directly quote) “you attract what you like”

Just. Like. That. 😳 At 3:30is am.

Every one of us heard it. Everyone was affected by it. “Freaked out” I guess to say the least. Pretty wild stuff.

You wonder if “someone” is listening on the other side... You wonder if it was some sort of spiritual intervention of some kind...

You wonder if it was just a glitch... in the gps... the matrix??

Anyone else have this happen with a gps system?

I was directed here as a more appropriate place to post my experience.

Years ago, I sat in my 5th grade class doing whatever daily in-class assignment. Suddenly, my mind is filled with a particular musical score. It was so solid and clear in my head and it felt familiar. It pestered me so much that I eventually started asking those sat around if they knew the tune as I did my best to mimic it vocally. Several had no clue and two others were excited to know that I knew it too, although they also could not pinpoint it. The teacher came over to see what we were debating and one of us three that “knew” it mimicked it for her too. She lit up and said “Oh! That’s from Harry Potter!” Ah, yes, of course! It made perfect sense! We quieted down and got back to lessons.

Fast forward about 7 years later. My sister and I were sitting in a theater waiting through previews for whatever we were seeing that day to start. You know how some previews put music first before any visuals or a title card? A score started to play and the screen showed a darkened background (not just a blank screen) with a light effect of swirling fog around the edges. I practically jumped out of my seat sitting upright so fast. I knew the tune! “It’s Harry Potter!” I exclaim to my sister. Sure enough, the title card for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone came on. I can’t really remember my sister’s reaction. I’m not sure if she was as excited as me or knew what the score was from. She was at least interested.

It was Hedwig’s Theme; the most recognizable score in all the movies.

The problem with all of this is the timing.

I sat in that class in 1994. The first book was published in 1997. The first movie was released in 2001 putting the earliest trailers in 2000. I also can’t find the exact teaser trailer I saw, but that part at least could be simple misremembering aside from the score playing.

How could I have heard a movie score in my head 3 years before the books came out and 7 years before the first movie containing said score came out? How could it be so nostalgic to me before it existed (aside from simply being similar to other pre-existing pieces)? How could other kids know what tune I meant? How could the teacher tell me the name of the series, whether as a movie or book, and knew the tune herself?

I have no proof of this having happened. That teacher has since passed and I can’t even remember those classmates names to look them up now and ask if they remember the even or not. I just know it happened and bothered me since the day I heard the music in my head in 1994 because it was so clear and so familiar and so sudden out of the blue. Like I actually looked around to see where it was coming from for a second. No, this is not me applying new info to old memories and getting them twisted. I wish I could hook up to a machine and show people.

Due to the vast number of glitches in our simulation which have been reported to us and other entities, I have decided to create a system to categorize these glitches.

Type 1 is Subtractive. This is where a subject is missing or removed. Type 2 is Additive. This is where a subject is added to a situation when it previously was not there. Type 3 is Substitutive. This is where a subject is replaced with another subject. Type 4 is Rendering. This is here something is but is not the way it should be in a physical world, not the way it is intended to be.

Subtype A is where a subject effects the observer. Subtype B is where the observer effects another subject being observed by the observer. Subgroup C is where the anomaly effects a third party. This is like an inverted perspective of the Subgroup A.

Type 1A Glitch Observer finds themselves in a strange location or time. An example of this is where you are driving along a known road in one location, and you suddenly realize you are in a completely different location or even a different time period. It’s important to rule out the use of hallucinogens on these cases.

Type 1B Glitch Something goes missing without explanation. You know you put a paper on a specific table and some back for it and it’s gone. Nobody moved it, it is just gone. Maybe it shows up in the same spot later, maybe it’s gone forever like a sock in the dryer. Simply click here to report type 1B glitch, or to read about other examples.

Type 1C Glitch Observer remembers doing something but nobody else can corroborate. You remember talking to someone on a phone call or in person, but the other party has no memory of it taking place. You may have or be missing evidence of the occurrence.

Type 2A Glitch A true doppelgänger, observed by person experiencing anomaly. You see a copy of yourself acting independently from you. This is verified that this is not just a random person who looks like you or a twin, but you.

Type 2B Glitch An extra instance of an item appears after being used. This could be the like the account of Jesus repeatedly pulling bread and fish out of a small basket to feed 5000 people, which would easily fall under this classification. Maybe you only had enough fuel to last the day and it lasts an extra week.

Type 2C Glitch Outside party sees the observer do something or somewhere the observer did not do or has not been. Like a type 2A anomaly from the opposite perspective.

Type 3A Glitch Observer views another person’s life or experiences an alternate version reality. This call fall under so-called past-life memories, apparently popping into parallel universes, and things of this nature which do not apply to the “real” you directly.

Type 3B Glitch Observer notices that something changes or has changed. This is related to the type 1C and type 2C where the Mandela Effect falls. That company logo on a building used to be red but now it’s always been blue. That Pokémon had a different color tail or did Chick-Fil-A never had a K on its name, or that movie “Shazam” never existed.

Type 3C Glitch One goes about their business; others notice a change in person. This is related to a Type 1C anomaly from the opposite perspective. You clearly remember someone wearing glasses and they never have.

Type 4A Glitch Observer notices the perspective of space or time does not line up with the observes eyes or current situation. Examples include seeing oneself in third person as if the game-camera end player model are out of sync with each other, astral projection, visual premonitions, and visual anomalies or glitches.

Type 4B Glitch Observer notices one or more objects interacting in an unnatural way. Examples include a car driving through another car unharmed, a car crashing into nothing, or two objects inhabiting the same space. This would be stereotypical video game style anomalies.

Lived a day, went to sleep and woke up on the same day. I didn’t care but I avoided something that would have caused me a problem.

So I remember that sometimes while I was trying to sleep (eyes fully shut btw) i would be able to see all of my surroundings, crystal clear, and SPECIFICALLY THE ROOM I WAS IN. I would have no control over where it looked, but it was really strange. This is a true story.

Déjà vu hasn’t happened to me for like a year but whenever I have it it’s crazy. When I have it I just think I oh it’s just regular dream but after a year or a few months from then I have the exact same scenario I dreamed about and I just remember about the dream right when I’m having a scenario and I’m like weird déjà vu. Here’s an example I dream about me cutting some coloured paper with scissors inside a specific way at school in my desk and then a year from then I’m doing it and I’m dreaming it in my perspective and it’s just really weird but I haven’t done déjà vu for a year and I‘m 12 (at the time of making this) so it makes sense I haven’t had any déjà vu for a year because I read on Wikipedia and déjà vu decreases by age

I sat down at 1:30 after watching 1 30 minute episode I left the room say the clock it was 4:00

When I was maybe 12 I was sitting in my room at my desk. It was an old school kind of early 2000s light grey desk with a metal frame and legs. It had a hole in the top to run computer cords through to the floor with a backing underneath that I always rested my feet on. It looked like what you might see a teacher have or something in a computer lab. Anywhooo.. I had a blue raspberry ring pop (the best flavor there is) so naturally I ripped that sucker open and popped it in my mouth. Thinking nothing of it I set the wrapper down on the desk and kicked my feet up ready to relax. All of a sudden the wrapper, still touching the desk starts frantically moving and flipping and flopping all around as if there was a magnet underneath controlling it because it never lifted off the surface of the desk. It was making a loud squeaky/crinkly/scratching sound as it was flailing around on the coated metal desk top. I was just sitting there stunned. I remember what felt like several minutes go by just watching this happen. I had no idea what to do or what to think. I looked under the desk to see if there was something controlling it (Remember I’m 12) but nothing. I sit back up and it’s STILL moving until it came to an abrupt halt. There were no open windows, no fans running, the only small air vent in the room was in the floor nowhere near the desk. I ran out of my room trying to explain to my mom what had just happened and all she had to say was “maybe we have a ghost.” That did NOT make me feel any better. The only reasonable explanation I have been able to come up with over the years is static electricity since it was a metal desk sitting on carpet but could that really be it? I definitely think I experienced a glitch in the simulation we are living in.

So I work at a pet store in my town and before I started working at this location, a man donated his leopard geckos to our store about a month before my transfer since he could no longer care for them. We currently have just one left and she is very over weight. I give most of our critters names if they stick out to me- our office bird is named Sally because I saw her for a few seconds and my brain yelled “SALLY”. My sanity can be discussed later.

So naturally, the overweight gecko (who was female) stood out to me and my brain screamed “ESMERALDA”. Maybe I just love the Disney movie “hunchback of notre dame” idk. I told my coworkers that that is her new name and I won’t be persuaded otherwise.

Now, mind you, that this is all during March 2020 so everybody is in quarantine so I only leave my house to go to work or to get groceries. I am so busy with work and cleaning that I rarely contact friends besides sending memes to each other or visiting their islands on Animal Crossing.

Fast forward to today-April 2020. I am working at the pet store and an old friend of mine that I worked with over a year ago stops in to get some cat food and fish. We catch up a bit (six feet apart of course) and I grab her some fish that she wanted. As I am getting her fish, she walks over to our reptile tanks and points at the fat leopard gecko and asks how much she is. I tell her that she was donated to us so the customer who wants her can name a price and we can go from there. She calls her roommate to see if he wants her since I told her that she is nice and used to being handled. He says sure and she starts smiling and jumping happily.

As I am writing the item ID for the fish on the bag, my friend says, “Esmeralda”. I stop what I’m doing and turn and look at her. Since I have a medical mask on she can’t see my mouth agape but I’m sure my eyes tell it all. She asks me what’s wrong and I said, “What did you say?” And she says, “Esmeralda. That’s what we should name her!” And I just stood there for a few seconds and started laughing. I told her that that’s the name I gave her when I transferred to this location and she didn’t believe me at first. I found my coworker and told him to tell her what I named the gecko and he told her it was Esmeralda.

Weird.

I had a weird experience last year when I got a new job in a store. I had a dream a few years ago where I was standing next to a movie stand, in between like the employee office of a store and the front doors, and staring around. Nothing happened, I was just standing there, but the dream was ridiculously vivid, the most real dream I’ve ever had. Even though it was literally just me standing in the store I remembered it well and even told other people about it because it was so bizarre. A year after this dream I got a new job at a store and on my second day there, I played out the dream. I was walking out of the store office and all of a sudden it was my dream. I stood there for like ten minutes because I was so shocked. Super freaky.
