" I dropped my phone and watched it disappear . Poof , gone . "
Last month, we shared some stories from Reddit about people experiencing what they considered a “glitch in the Matrix,” where something so inexplicable happened that it must have been paranormal. That got members of the BuzzFeed Community sharing their stories as well, so here are some of their experiences, as well as more from Reddit!
1.The disappearing phone:
" One time I was stand at the top of the stairs talking to my mom down below . I dropped my phone and as it was going down the stairs , it whole disappear . There are no cracks or space it could ’ve slipped into , there ’s a affluent wall all the elbow room down on both sides . My mom and I were mindblown , we could n’t observe this sound ANYWHERE . Two days later I was cleaning the upstairs Marguerite Radclyffe Hall and there my telephone set was , underneath my sis ’s dollhouse . There ’s no way this could ’ve fall out . Absolutely impossible . My mom and I both saw the phone bounce down the stairs and fairy , gone . "

2.The time traveler:
" I intend we ascertain a clock time traveler . So , this bechance about a workweek ago but my retentiveness is still moderately unfermented . My boyfriend and I were in the car on the way to get dinner and chatting casually , everything was normal . As we pluck up to a flushed light source , somebody catch my attention . There was a guy , I ’d say between 15 and 18 years older , walk on the pavement across the street . I notice him because he looked like he was straight out of 2004 . Baggy denim , grey beanie , and a disgraceful t - shirt over a long - sleeve white shirt . I think it was suspect , figured he was some kind of skater , and point it out to my BF and made some joke about the guy being from the 2000s . We both agreed he looked out of place and that ’s when we started joking that he must be a fourth dimension traveler . I said something like , ' He ’s probably thinking , Woah , dandy , where am I ? ' and as soon as I said it , the bozo jump to look around like he was confused . ( We were in a car and across a busy street from him , no path he heard us . ) We remarked that it was weird as we watched the guy look around illogical for a few moments . Then , we both looked away for no more than half a second , I do n’t recall why , and when we turned back the guy was go .
At first , we laughed and think it was queer but the more we looked the more we realise he had nowhere to go and he really just all evaporate . I ca n’t strain this enough , we BARELY look away and had NOWHERE to go that we would n’t be capable to see him . We both gross out out and drove most of the rest of the way in silence while we thought about sentence traveling . We have n’t really talked about it since , but we agree that it was obviously really weird . "

3.The temporary mind link:
" For about a week I would wake up , await at the clock , see that it was 2 a.m. , and go back to nap . One of these nights , I wake up up as common , and then noticed a greenish glowing next to my spike . I turned my head to see what I can only describe as a giant Lite Brite peg punch into my pillow . Instead of being disturbed by it , I thought to myself , ' Craig ( my brother ) would cogitate this is really nerveless ! ' I then fell instantly asleep .
Next day I went to my crony ’s apartment , and notice how tired he look . He said , ' Yeah , every night this week I woke up at 2 a.m. And then last night I swear I heard you call my name . ' dismayed , I told him what I had experienced , and we wonder if for some intellect we were having a psychic connection . He bring out a pack of indicant identity card , and we each take 10 . One by one we write numbers racket and held them up to discover 9 out of 10 match . The last one I left blank , and he draw a zero — both indicate ' nothing . ' Then the spell was bankrupt and it has n’t happened since . "

4.The duplicate dad:
" I had lots of mad bug in the intercellular substance moments when I was younger . One forenoon when I was get ready for schooling , I move to go downstairs to get breakfast and passed by my parents ’ bedroom . The door was slenderly ajar and I peeked in to see my dad putting his linkup on and get ready for work . When I got downstairs to the kitchen my dad was already in there making toast . I was SO disordered . Our star sign was small and only had one staircase and there ’s no way he could ’ve let to the kitchen without me see him . Really weird . "

5.The shirts from another dimension:
" So this happened earlier this cockcrow , but it ’s still on everyone ’s mind here .
I was doing the laundry and moving wearing apparel from the washing machine to dryer . While I was moving matter over , I picked up my Optimus Prime shirt and put it in the drier , then one of my kids needed me in the kitchen so I walk by . When I go back to the washing machine I picked up the next item and it was again my Optimus Prime shirt , I figured I just mistook the first shirt or something and threw the shirt in there . A few item later , again one of my kidskin needed something so I take the air away and when I get back I again take out out the same Optimus Prime shirt from the washing machine and I say out loudly ' What the hell , this is unearthly ' and I throw it in the drier . My oldest girl walked and asked what was blend in on and I secern her and she await in the dryer and she says there were three of the shirt in there . It ’s impossible as I only own one , so I go look in the dryer and yes indeed there ’s three identical shirts , all wet as well .
My girl gets delirious and call my married woman to take a looking at to sustain we ’re not disturbed . My wife claim a spirit and also sees the three identical shirts , and she bang I only own one as she buy it for me . My wife enounce we should take a picture and she walks out of the laundry way to get her sound , while she was getting her phone , there ’s a loud rush add up from the laundry room and we all quickly go back in there , nothing seemed out of piazza or fall but when my daughter looked in the dryer , there ’s only one Optimus Prime shirt . We empty the dryer but in the end , there was only a individual shirt . Still no idea what happened there , but all three of us construe the multiple shirt . "

6.The intervention:
" So one clip I was sitting at a dealings light at an crossway that is vertical to an off - ramp to a major highway ( I-95 ) . I was the newer driver and a twinkle watcher so as soon as opposing traffic got the yellow visible radiation I would already be about to take my foot off the Pteridium aquilinum . Well , this time when I took my animal foot off the pasture brake , something press against my chest and kind of pin me to the buttocks , but not my seatbelt because it did n’t get any tighter or stall like it does when you brake hard . I turned to the right to look at my rider in seismic disturbance because I was so disoriented . But they yelled for me to ' go . ' When I turned my head directly to continue , a car came literally flying , like airborne across the intersection from highway at lightning speed and crash into an overgrown lot on the other side . I just burst into weeping because WTF ? I ’m an atheist so I do n’t really know what to think of it . "

7.The remote control clone:
" I was about 16 at the time , and I had just gotten a new video to put in my way , so that I could employ the Xbox on it . It came with one remote control ; I commemorate specifically because I was very spacey and lean to lose things , so I want a secondment .
Well , cut to about three months later , I lost the remote . I sleep with it on my nightstand and I do n’t remember moving it or dropping it or anything but one Clarence Shepard Day Jr. I proceed to snaffle it and it was n’t on my nightstand .
I looked EVERYWHERE for that matter . It was drive me crazy . Until a few days later , when I looked in between my bed and the wall . I ’d already look there ( at least I thought so ) and it was just there . I was utterly ELATED until when I pulled the bed back to actually snap up it , two remote control fell .
Exact same stigma , same article of clothing on the input and select button , the figure 2 was rubbed off on both of them and what really blow my brain is the batteries were the same mismatch of Duracell , and whatever brand it came with , deform the same amount . "

8.The audio premonition:
" Mine hap quite latterly in reality . I had just clock out and gotten off of work and had planned that day that my ma and I would attend out . I climb into her car and everything was chill like common when I set out to hear a loud crashing racket like the car JUST got arrive at by another car along with scraping and honking / doors being slammed . Of course , I say nothing of it because I did n’t want to address spoilt free energy like that out there so I keep it 🤐 . Of course , what happens 30 second later ? We have a hit - and - run happen and all the same noises I was hearing prior to it happen end up also happening . Needless to say , I was decidedly confused / floored . Sometimes I think about it and feel like just because it even kill in my mind that I already put that vigour out in the universe of discourse so it would n’t have count it I spoke on it or not . I say I could have refer to stay open-eyed or something but I ’ve NEVER had this materialise to me before so I did n’t really know how to set about it 🤷 🏽 ♀ ️. "

9.The guardian blip:
" I think back I was jumping on the bed as a yearling , like perchance 5 years old at the most . I did this crazy flip and was heading upside down head first into the corner of the dresser next to the bed . Next thing I do it , I ’m just sitting on the floor , not hurt and do n’t recall landing at all ? ! plainly , I told my mom ' someone caught me ' so I ca n’t tell if this is a ghostwriter / guardian angel or a radar target in the cosmos but I ’m always confused on how that happen .

10.The imposter call:
" I was at work when my papa called my speech sound — he was apprehensive that something was untimely because a few minutes earlier I had scream him and he could n’t make out what I was saying but he do it it was my voice and I sounded agitated . All he could make out were a couple of times where I used some of the nonsense nicknames I practice for my parent ’s ducky , so he recollect something had happened to the dogs .
I told him I had n’t called him , but he did n’t believe me and thought I was pull a buffoonery . Later on when I meet him in person I showed him that the last outgoing call I had made to him had been about five days before — but he had definitely been called by my headphone earlier that twenty-four hours because his speech sound render an incoming call from my act and the call had gone on for about three transactions before it cut off .

11.The expanding woods:
" I ’ve been walk the same paths in a wooded area for seven years , and my cousin-german and their friend wanted to delay the Sir Henry Wood out at night . I was like , ' trusted , whatever , I ’ll take them . ' So a chemical group of six of us went to ensure it out . Everything was going alright up until a new path came into view . This wooded region is n’t that big and I had never seen this way of life before , so we decided ' Fuck it , we ’re here to explore , so let ’s explore . ' As we explore , we find that there was a reasonably good - sized body of mucky water . It had n’t rain down in a few months at this point and it looked like it was a pond . We turn back and lead to the connection point . We decided we were done and to head back the exact route we derive , which I hold on tone of . The problem is , it was farseeing , like the woods were extending the paths intentionally . I went back the next day and the course was kick the bucket and it never extend that extra hour it pick out us to get back . "

12.The wrong number:
" Years after my brother go by away , my married man ( who was also my brother ’s best acquaintance ) get down a school text message from his phone turn . The text read : ' hey fam ' and nothing else . We bonk that phone numbers get recycle but the thing is … my married man DID NOT HAVE THIS CELL NUMBER when my brother was alive .
When I told my family , my sister ( who has a problem with bound lol ) decided to call the act and talk to the sender . He severalize her that he did get a novel headphone and sent out a textbook to his family with his new number . But the only textbook that went through to my husband was ' hey fam ' and not the rest of the content . The transmitter also did not have anything to show that he send off a subject matter to my husband ’s cell . He did not have my married man ’s young number .
The whole thing is bizarre and before people want to tell me theories about why it might have encounter — I ’m opt to consider that my brother , the hoaxer , just decided to blip the timeline to say hello . "

13.And finally, twins who share everything:
" I have an indistinguishable twin babe , and we are very close-fitting . Most people ca n’t tell us aside . We ’ve always done everything together . We both get sick at the same time . We both had our gall bladder removed and then both had myomectomies . later on we both got name with MS . One particular trip heading home to Florida to visit our parent , we stopped at a rest stop . There were several sections of bathrooms so my babe and I separate up and hold out in diametric directions . When I got into the restroom I had an immediate compositor’s case of deja vu . I quickly finish and left the bathroom . I blot my husband and beelined directly for him . Out of the corner of my eye I learn my sister heading there too . We both catch to him at the same time and articulate in unison ' I had a pipe dream about this bathroom ! ' Needless to say my husband was freak out ! "
