51 Stories About Glitches, Déjà Vu, The Mandela Effect And Other Mysterious True Experiences

I purchased a book written by someone from my hometown. It was delivered at the beginning of the month. I have two places I put my books: either on the bookshelf [imagine that] or beside my bed on the floor with some stuff that sits between the bed and the nightstand. Nowhere else. I’ve spent the past two days looking EVERYWHERE for this book. I couldn’t find it anywhere. I was on the phone with two different people who experienced my frustration in trying to find it. I pulled the books off the bookshelf to see if maybe it fell behind. I looked here. I looked behind here. I read each individual spine because I didn’t know the color and thought maybe it was being overlooked. Friends… I got off the phone with one best friend whilst looking everywhere for this book. Got on the phone with another, walked into the bathroom [directly to the left of the bookshelf], came back out, and the red spine caught my eye. NO ONE ELSE WAS HOME. Just me, within a matter of minutes. And the spine is red? My mind is blown. I can’t fathom what happened. It was not there. You can see that. And then… ??? And it was tightly squeezed onto that shelf. Everything else is identical. What just happened!?

On the night of Christmas Eve, while I was asleep, a set of numbers dropped into my head. I woke up seconds later because they felt really important, like a phone number I needed to call the next day. I rolled over, told my husband, and he wrote them down in his phone. The next day, those exact numbers won Powerball. All 6 out of 6. We didn’t play because we never do, and now I can’t stop thinking about it.

Maybe it's not a glitch but it sure was interesting. Love to hear what y'all think the chances of this happening are? I knocked stuff off the table in my excitement to get the photo. This is my favorite coffee cup. I have 2 of them. We just got back from a lovely dinner with his parents. I made us both a cup of coffee and sat down to watch Andy Griffith. We both love them old shows. He was trying to adjust the volume with the remote and accidentally changed the channel. It was Wheel of Fortune and the start of a brand new puzzle. Neither of us watch the show and haven't seen it in years. 2 letters in, he yells "character". I'm already like "no way"! We both knew what it was going to be and I wanted a photo. I'm amazed that happened. I find it hard to believe that it was just a coincidence

The other day I found a dog treat in my car. I don't have a dog. I've had my vehicle for over a year. No one rides in it. It's literally just me and my kids. I have cats but no dog. It's one of those greenies tooth brush dog treat things. It has no teeth marks on it. Don't even try to give rational answers because there's not one. A ghost dog or a timeline glitch. Something crazy! * I don't go anywhere. I don't have any friends. I don't have a partner. My kids are homeschooled and have autism, they're with me 24/7 . We didn't go anywhere for anyone to put it in the car. My car is in a locked gate.

Was stuck under the seat from previous owner and it finally worked its way out


Sara Toussaint:
Many years ago, I had a brand new, shiny silver key turn up in a brand new, sealed box of Pampers. It was one of the large, long keys (for a main door) so not really a small thing. I went through all the possible explanations in my mind. I had just come out of a painful breakup and was on the verge of starting a new college course. I would have loved to believe that this key was sent to me by the universe to represent new beginnings and the start of something fresh and exciting.
However, the reality is that the key somehow got dropped in there, lost by a factory worker, maybe on the production line or similar. It's an improbable explanation but entirely possible.
I still have the key all these years later because the whimsical side of me hopes that one day I'll come across a secret door or chest and my key will be the only thing that can open it. I've lost many of my day-to-day keys that I actually need whilst holding on to this one that is as shiny as the day it was cut. Meanwhile, somebody out there will be recounting the story of when they got sacked from the Pampers factory for misplacing the new master key

My uncle was amazing. He had worked for Disney in Florida for several years, and retired in the late 90s after a long career at Epcot. He and my aunt lived in that area and their house had Disney memorabilia, and we’d come home from vacations with all the Disney merch you’d want. For as long as I can remember, he wore khaki pants and a polo. By the time he passed away at about 80 years old just a few years ago, his hair was grey/white. My parents and I went to DisneyLand in California this past summer. We had spent the day exploring and going on rides, and by early evening were exhausted. I was tired and a little moody hy that point , and walked ahead of my parents for a few minutes. I saw an older gentleman standing by himself. He was wearing khaki pants and a striped polo. He had grayish hair and when he turned around, he looked at me, put his hands on his hips like he was waiting for me, and smiled. I thought “wow that guy looks like my uncle.” His family had returned from whatever they were doing, and they walked away, and that was that. I didn’t mention it at all. About ten minutes later, my parents and I were cooled off and walking together. My mother asked me if I had seen an older man that looked just like my uncle. My father chimed in and mentioned that he froze when he saw the man. We literally felt like we’d seen a ghost , but in the most peaceful sense.


Jo Ann Ferreri-Carr:
Well if he walked away with his family like you said how is that a spirit? I'm not saying that in that moment your uncle wasn't with you I'm saying the guy that looked like him was not a spirit if that makes sence...

Our loved ones passed are always with us watching we are always connected by love trust me, they speak when they have important things to say to their loved ones, perhaps your uncle was saying hi through this man that looked like him- there's many people in this world that look alike too What's important is how it made you feel regardless of what happened....

I sometimes have trouble with realizing when it's a spirit & when it's a person at 1st I'm very logical initially I once wanted to call the cops on a spirit I thought it was a real person my son's informed me that they did not see anyone where I saw them lol

My gut says I think your uncle used that man in a way to let you know he's around you & your family

I have another story on how Spirits work- I was in a situation where I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing I asked my late father in my mind & all of a sudden this man walks in he acted exactly like my dad & he was sending Italian cookies from my dad's favorite bakery to his brother in Ca. Exactly like my dad did Happily many times it was uncanny & I felt this peace come over me & it said its all ok ....

I have trouble believing most of the posts on here lol but yours made me feel like responding I hope I could shed some light for you...

So my husband and I are grabbing gas at our local Sam's Club and we are driving by not quite pulling in. I look over at the pumps from the side road that runs along the pumps, and I'm like frack there are a ton of people there. Must be worried about the gas prices going up. We get to the pump and maybe 10 seconds have passed and there are 3 cars at the station. My husband looks over at me comfused and says "wait weren't there just like 15 cars there?" And I'm like, I thought the same, where did they all go? There are two exits from the station and we drove through one of them. There is zero way that many cars could have filled up, had the cars behind them pump gas, and all left in the time it took us to turn a corner.

One day my mom and I were playing with a yellow ball tossing it back and forth. On one of those tosses the ball bounced off a wall and into our bathroom out if sight. We didn’t hear the ball bounce off anything when it entered the bathroom. When I went to look for the ball I couldn’t find it anywhere. Our bathroom is small and there’s nothing that can conceal an object. The ball was the size of a fist and bright yellow. But it was completely gone. My mom searched for it and also found nothing. Here’s the weirdest part, a few months later we found the ball! It was in plain sight sitting inside our laundry basket inside our bathroom. Now we had used this basket dozens of times since that day. There’s no way we could have not seen or heard the ball during all the times we emptied it.

This happened two days ago and I still can’t process or make sense of what happened or how.

I have my own little farm I live on in the mountains of western North Carolina where winter storms or storms in general come with minimal warning and temperatures drop in to the single digits mostly every night in winter.

I have my two horses live in what is essentially my back yard and while I was doing my daily AM farm chores I decided to completely scrub out and clean their 100 gallon thick rubber water trough and fill it completely before the temps dropped and the water line/hose froze.

This is a normal routine for me. I had the water on from the hose to clean and scrub the trough. I had the trough on its side to rinse out the residue. I turned the trough back over and left the hose in running to start to fill up the trough. I always leave a timer on my phone to remind me to turn the water off as I will do other chores while it is filling. I always let it run for 25 mins and with years of doing the same thing, that is the amount of time I know it takes to fill a 100 gallon horse trough. My timer went off, I went to shut the water off, I double checked the trough to make sure it was full, which it was, finished my other farm chores and left my house to run errands.

In the PM as I was out feeding all the animals with temperatures dropping fast, I had a nagging feeling to double check the horse’s tank to make sure it wasn’t frozen over. I had recently bought a new trough de-icer and wanted to make sure it was working properly. To my shock the water trough was completely empty. Like bone dry there hadn’t been any water in there for a week dry. There wasn’t even a water line you could make out on the rubber it was so dry. It was impossible. Hours earlier that tank was filled to the absolute top. If the tank had a crack, there would have been mud all around it from the water seeping out. There is a thick screw gasket on the bottom of the tank to allow you to drain it but that was still in tact, and again, had it come off somehow I would have seen the water all around it with mud to prove it. The ground was completely dry. Horses under any circumstances will not drink 50 gallons of water each in a few hours even under the most extreme conditions. The hose was still where I left it, Santa didn’t magically come while I was away and get me a new trough because he knows the price of 100gallon rubber tanks and the year just started, I have a lot of good left to prove lol Scratching my head and a bit freaked out over this one.

The water line was definitely frozen by that time and I definitely had to use my backup water jugs I keep in my house to refill the horses water so they could drink for the evening. The next AM first thing I did was check the tank and of course it was still desert dry so I don’t think I was in a fever dream. Line was unfrozen from the sunlight by that time and I refilled using the hose as normal, the tank is still full.

While me and my husband were watching the recent Super Bowl, it reminded us of a very odd thing that happened during a previous Super Bowl (I believe 2019). During the previous Super Bowl, the commercials were playing & one was for a laundry detergent. The man in the commercial drops chili from his chili dog on his shirt or whatever, but then the craziest thing happened: he pointed right through the camera, AT US, and said “Look, you have chili on your shirt too.” And it felt like time slowed down. And sure enough, my husband was eating a chili dog, and had dropped chili on his shirt. All we could do was sit in silence, we were so confused 😂 During this year’s Super Bowl, we tried to find that commercial and cannot find it anywhere.

The number 47 or 74 seem to show up a lot in my life. I thought maybe I was just noticing it because my brain created a pattern. But, this picture has me a bit shook. I’d love to know what people’s thoughts are on this. I remember thinking, of course it’s 147 as I took the picture. When I looked back at the photo, the 1 is gone.

I think I just experienced my first real glitch. My calendar on my phone has been showing 30 days in Feb the last few times I checked it. And today that started to bother me. Like, 29 days is a leap year...where did 30 days come from? So, I searched it online to see IF there was ever 30 days in February (knowing there wasnt) and Google tells me certains times in history HAS used 30 days. SOOOO, I flip back to my calendar on my phone and the screen proceeds to change IN FRONT OF MY EYES to the correct 28 day calendar
