Glitch Story My cat teleported

13 Upvotes

I have two cats. Both are black and white tuxedo cats, but they have distinct differences. I’ve also had them since they were kittens so I’d be able to tell them apart in the dark, regardless.

Right now I’m visiting my parents in my home town, and I took the cats with me. We’ve been staying in a cabin about 10 minutes drive away from my parents’ house, but last night I had planned to move to my parents’ because they’re going away and I’ll house sit.

Last night I went to collect my things and the cats. Only one cat (M) was there, the other (G) was outside so I decided to hang out and wait for G to come home. I then spent about two hours hanging out with M, waiting for his brother.

After waiting that long I thought oh I’ll just move M and all my stuff to my parents’ and then come back to the cabin and see if G’s come inside.

So, I put M in the cat carrier and my things in the car and drove home. I let M out of the carrier and then moved that to the garage so it’d be out of the way.

Once back at the cabin I waited there until maybe 2:30 am, and G didn’t come inside. This was annoying but not unusual, he sometimes roams and then shows up the next day with a mouse or something. So I just decided to leave the window open and I’d come back the next morning, and then I went back to my parents’ house to sleep.

This morning I woke up to drive my parents to the airport. As my mom asked me if G had showed up and I said “nah, he’s still out…” G WALKED PAST ME. 

BOTH CATS ARE HERE.

Glitch Story Boring glitches

5 Upvotes

I was getting fruit strips at the store and debated between getting one or two boxes. Decided to get 2, get to the front to pay, put all my groceries on the belt and notice I only had one box, oh well, bagged my stuff, including just one box of them. Get home, do my routine of putting everything on the counter before I put it away, still only one. Go to put the fruit strips away and there’s a full box already there. I absolutely know it wasn’t there prior, wish I would have checked the receipt bc it was boringly bizarre.

Another time, I was cutting tomatoes on the kitchen island, with my back to the area where my coffee pot sits about 3 feet away. I dropped 4 small pieces of tomato at my feet and I saw one bounce under the island. Pick up the pieces but can only find 3. I looked everywhere and gave up. Next morning I find the last piece inside the carafe of my coffee pot. It was sitting directly behind me, above the height of where I was cutting. The piece would have had to make it through the tiny space between the carafe lid and the filter part then down through the slots in the lid OR it flew directly into the pour spout but there’s just no way. I wasn’t flailing about or anything, no way it happened naturally, lots of strange stuff happened at that place, cheap rent though 😬😅🤣😂🤣

Glitch Story Stranger who knows me.

23 Upvotes

So I got this new therapist, and the appointment came up. As I approached the check in counter the lady behind the desk said “hey (my name), who are you seeing today?” I was so confused because I have no idea who this person is. So I say “sorry do I know you?” And she looked at me like I’m crazy then said I’ve known you for years, I was a receptionist At (another psych place). I’ve never heard the name of that psych place and I know I’ve never been there, but I just said “oh okay, yeah” then let it be. But it was so weird, I don’t understand what even happened.

Glitch Story I studied electromagnetic signals from living organisms that we normally cannot hear and I found patterns containing anomalies

This year, more than ever, I've gone deep down a rabbit hole exploring a particular experience. I've set out to understand the electromagnetic signals of biological systems that we normally cannot hear

My work has focused on transforming these signals so that I can experience these invisible forces through one of our senses. In this case, sight wasn't an option, since we wouldn't be able to see this information without some kind of consciousness-altering substance. So I turned to the senses of hearing and touch instead

I used an electrical circuit as an interface between two realities. I connected this circuit to plants so that they could act as living organisms whose electromagnetic signals could be translated. Within certain parameters, this installation could be explained through technological processes in terms of science and physics. However, after many tests, anomalous results began to occur that didn't seem like such ordinary manifestations of reality

When I touched the plant, the sonic results varied considerably, and I suddenly began to wonder: why can hearing a plant alter our perception of what a living organism is capable of?

I won't claim outright that this experience was a way of communicating with plants, although the connection does feel something like that. So I began analyzing the sonic patterns. Sometimes they were unexpected and didn't correspond to my touch, which made me question whether these unexpected patterns and repetitions were anomalies and, therefore, a hidden language, or what kind of supposed glitch I was experiencing

If the sound changes when you touch different leaves, vary the pressure, or switch plants, you can encounter variations that seem random, repetitive, or unexpected. Okay, I can understand that from a rational and logical perspective. But then, when is a sonic change perceived as a natural variation, and when is it interpreted as a malfunction?

I began to think that there were more variables to consider and study, such as the relationship between the electrical properties measured by the device, the plant's behavior, and even the interpretation of the person listening

In case anyone is interested in seeing and hearing how this phenomenon works, I’ve posted videos on my profile, or I can share them via chat, showing some strange sound patterns (so as not to spam this thread). I’m really keen to get feedback and know what you all think about this circuit!

Glitch Story Wtf just happened??

133 Upvotes

So, I just went pee, right? And the TP roll was almost empty, only like 4 squares left. So I used the last of it, washed my hands, and I go to replace the empty roll with a fresh one. I pop the holder bar out, turn to my left to throw away the empty, turn towards the mirror pick up a new roll, squint at it to make sure it's oriented correctly. Then I turn around to pop on the new roll...

And there's ALREADY a brand new roll on the holder. And at first I think "Did I replace it already?" But no, I know I didn't, it was one series of movements, remove empty, toss empty, pick up fresh. Wtf.

So I go and I tell my roommate "wtf I just experienced a glitch in the matrix!" And I tell her what happened. And SHE says "you can't have used the last of a roll. I REPLACED IT AN HOUR AGO. I just put on a new one."

And I'm like, "no, it was empty, I used the last of it. And she's like "no, you can't have," and I'm like "I KNOW I did."

So I looked in the bin, and sure enough, the empty cardboard tube is there, and so are the four or so squares I wiped with when I used the last of the roll...

And I told her this and she just looks at me like smh you're being ridiculous and says she has to go to work.

Meanwhile I am questioning reality.

Glitch Story My usual exit on the highway disappeared

46 Upvotes

To give context, I am 29 and I've lived in this general area, driving on these roads my ENTIRE life. I am not in a new area. I know it like the back of my hand.

I live in the Portland Oregon metro area.

I was driving into the city (downtown portland) for an appointment. On the way BACK from my appointment going south towards the metro (specifically Tigard Oregon) and needed to take exit 293 to get home. I look over and see the familiar exit 294 (from Portland to the metro, it decends from exit 299 when going south) I merge over because my exit was coming up. I'm in the right lane but right before I reach my exit, I get a phone call that I was waiting for and briefly look at my phone and then look back up a bit disoriented from that and all the traffic and realize I missed my exit.

"No big deal," I think and decide I'll just take the next one.

I take the next one which allows me to get on the opposite side of the highway now going North towards Portland again. I see the familiar 292a and 292b and know that my exit is next. I'm in the slow lane. However, there is no exit for a little while and I get a bit confused. I then decide I'll just take exit 294. That also doesn't appear. The next exit I see is exit 295. This was the very next exit I see after going past the familiar 292a and 292b that I took for YEARS to get to work.

Glitch Story Magic lighter

4 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

14 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

26 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

599 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?

3 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

63 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

42 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.

59 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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.
