(Story number) 1 Night sky of another [br]place and completely foreign to me

0:00:05.968,0:00:08.824
First to fully get this, a short [br]introduction is needed.

0:00:08.837,0:00:12.660
I live in an eastern European country[br]and I have been sort of an astronomy

0:00:13.500,0:00:17.156
and dinosaur, which is irrelevant, buff[br]since I was 8 or 9.

0:00:17.325,0:00:21.565
That is not to say that I am an astronomer[br]or astrologist for that matter, even an

0:00:21.565,0:00:22.885
amateur one.

0:00:22.885,0:00:28.040
My 10 year older cousin is and he got me[br]interested when I was a kid so I got

0:00:28.040,0:00:31.670
myself to read and learn everything I [br]could on the matter.

0:00:31.670,0:00:36.040
As a kid, one of the most interesting[br]things to me were the constellations.

0:00:36.288,0:00:39.011
During the next couple of years I got to[br]know all of them.

0:00:39.082,0:00:41.109
Even ones from the southern hemisphere

0:00:41.109,0:00:42.139
which I only got to

0:00:42.139,0:00:43.329
see in books at the time

0:00:43.329,0:00:44.755
summer or winter.

0:00:44.838,0:00:49.430
I decided to share this because this[br]morning the shift occurred to me for

0:00:49.430,0:00:53.430
the fourth time. I'm getting to it now.

0:00:53.541,0:00:58.641
I work in two shifts: 6am-2pm and 2pm-10pm

0:00:59.713,0:01:03.713
All four occurrences took place in the[br]early morning before first shift.

0:01:04.220,0:01:08.220
So I have a sort of ritual energy every[br]morning before first shift.

0:01:08.556,0:01:12.556
I wake up at 4am, brew a cup of coffee, [br]use the restroom, get dressed.

0:01:13.242,0:01:16.862
I take my coffee and get out to the [br]balcony of my second-story apartment and

0:01:16.862,0:01:19.351
have a smoke with my coffee.

0:01:19.351,0:01:23.111
I do this without fail every morning,[br]winter or summer.

0:01:23.111,0:01:26.084
With the only difference being if I put on[br]my jacket.

0:01:26.855,0:01:30.807
Now normally I enjoy the warmth of coffee[br]against my hands while I smoke and watch

0:01:30.807,0:01:34.097
over a small green park my balcony is [br]overlooking.

0:01:34.922,0:01:40.950
Or I scan the still night sky looking for[br]Mars, Venus or Jupiter if they are visible

0:01:41.000,0:01:43.556
and looking at constellations.

0:01:43.556,0:01:47.482
If I raise my eyes straight up and a tiny[br]bit to the right, for example, there is

0:01:47.482,0:01:51.362
Cassiopeia, looking like a huge "w".

0:01:51.452,0:01:56.222
And all the way to my right is Orion. [br]There are others visible too, but these

0:01:56.341,0:01:58.901
two are enough for the story.

0:01:58.901,0:02:04.026
Every single morning at this time of year,[br]October, it is exactly the same.

0:02:04.290,0:02:08.460
Well, every time except for the four times[br]this post is about.

0:02:08.575,0:02:12.725
3 of the 4 happened last year during[br]October and early November.

0:02:12.838,0:02:17.018
The fourth one occurred this very morning,[br]again October. Coincidence?

0:02:17.143,0:02:21.013
So I follow my routine like every other[br]morning at 4:10am.

0:02:21.013,0:02:25.720
But when I look at the sky constellations [br]I see are completely unknown to me.

0:02:26.374,0:02:32.517
No Cassiopeia, no Orion or others. The[br]stars don't match anything that can be

0:02:32.526,0:02:36.496
observed from our planet north or south, [br]summer or winter.

0:02:36.496,0:02:40.050
For example, straight up I can see a [br]formation that would match a perfect

0:02:40.050,0:02:44.254
circle of 11 stars. 3 of which are [br]brighter than the rest.

0:02:44.254,0:02:48.100
Straight forward is a 5-starred upsidedown[br]"Y".

0:02:48.100,0:02:51.790
To the right is a formation that would[br]resemble a very long arrow, as in a

0:02:51.790,0:02:54.979
medieval weapon, or a vector.

0:02:54.979,0:02:58.979
To the right is a pair of nearly same[br]shapes that resemble an s or a snake.

0:02:59.868,0:03:04.358
One larger than the other and with a [br]different number of stars.

0:03:04.434,0:03:08.434
I can't recall if the sky was exactly like[br]that last year when this happened.

0:03:08.593,0:03:12.283
But I did throw away my cigarette this[br]this time and went for a piece of paper

0:03:12.283,0:03:15.632
to draw the outlines I could see.[br]I was afraid that it would change to

0:03:15.632,0:03:20.442
normal sky by the time I returned but it[br]didn't, so I stood there sketching it and

0:03:20.455,0:03:25.749
as I did, the stars started fading and [br]others appeared, and slowly replaced the

0:03:25.749,0:03:30.919
ones that didn't match the normal sky. [br]This lasted about a minute, maybe two,

0:03:31.142,0:03:37.554
and when it finished the sky was what it[br]should be: Orion, Cassiopeia, Ursas, etc.

0:03:38.024,0:03:42.434
being where they should. I finished adding[br]dots for the starts as I recalled the

0:03:42.434,0:03:47.343
minutes ago, and in a few minutes had to[br]leave for work. I hadn't lost any time.

0:03:47.343,0:03:51.343
I didn't feel different in any way, apart[br]from the awe I felt.

0:03:52.424,0:03:57.310
Once outside sky was again normal, and as[br]far as I recall, it was the same the

0:03:57.310,0:04:01.959
previous 3 times. [br]I have no explanation for this, apart from

0:04:01.978,0:04:07.658
it being a glitch in the matrix. I am keen[br]to hear your thoughts, or from someone

0:04:07.658,0:04:10.304
who had the same thing happen to them.

0:04:10.304,0:04:15.077
It might not seem a huge thing but I feel[br]it is. So much that I am spending my

0:04:15.077,0:04:19.537
breakfast break typing this out.

0:04:19.970,0:04:21.657
(Story number) 2

0:04:21.657,0:04:26.037
This happened on August 13th, 2019.

0:04:26.300,0:04:29.580
I get together with my mom once a week at[br]her work.

0:04:29.580,0:04:33.741
The only thing that started differently on[br]this particular day was that I had just

0:04:33.741,0:04:39.377
downloaded snapchat. I parked right next [br]to my mom's car, as usual, checked to see

0:04:39.377,0:04:43.627
if she was in her car, but she wasn't.[br]I went ahead and was taking snaps on

0:04:43.627,0:04:48.107
the way into her work office. This is [br]about a one minute walk.

0:04:49.268,0:04:53.628
I was taking plenty of pictures because I[br]was especially feeling cute this day and I

0:04:53.628,0:04:58.248
was playing with the filters. I go in and[br]sign in at the front desk right in front

0:04:58.248,0:05:02.628
of the door. There were two employees [br]behind the desk and counter and a client

0:05:03.096,0:05:07.700
who was on my side of the counter.[br]The three of them were chatting while I

0:05:07.700,0:05:11.700
singed in and filled out a brief paper [br]that is required.

0:05:11.940,0:05:15.940
I am standing within 2 feet of the door[br]this whole time no one came in or out.

0:05:16.589,0:05:20.413
I went ahead and sat in the lobby area, [br]which is on the other side of the same

0:05:20.413,0:05:24.883
room, just away from the door. The desk [br]area is right beside a hallway that leads

0:05:24.891,0:05:28.891
to the different therapy rooms. This[br]hallway is between the lobby and the area

0:05:28.920,0:05:33.750
in front of the desk. I sat down and went[br]to go text my mom to let her know I am

0:05:33.750,0:05:39.100
there. As soon as I went to go text her[br]she walks in the door. She was perplexed

0:05:39.100,0:05:45.142
asking where I was. I was equally confused[br]saying I've been right here. She had just

0:05:45.142,0:05:50.042
walked out the front door and passed all 3[br]people at the desk, but I was not there.

0:05:50.042,0:05:55.831
I was not in the same room as her and she[br]never walked by me. The two other

0:05:55.831,0:05:59.941
employees both said that I was standing at[br]the desk when my mom walked by.

0:06:00.005,0:06:04.414
About this time the other client left, [br]that client was the first person to walk

0:06:04.414,0:06:08.914
out the door since I had arrived, yet [br]somehow my mom had too.

0:06:09.335,0:06:13.178
The other employee said I was standing[br]with the other client and was right in

0:06:13.178,0:06:16.118
front of the door when my mom walked [br]outside.

0:06:16.118,0:06:20.674
In order for my mom to walk by me she [br]would have to be in arms reach.

0:06:20.874,0:06:24.074
I would have definitely seen her walk out[br]

0:06:24.205,0:06:28.205
She was expecting me and we had already[br]been texting prior to this.

0:06:28.367,0:06:31.117
So, she knew when I was even on the way.

0:06:31.117,0:06:35.442
Sometimes she may have a client run over[br]their time. It wasn't too unusual for her

0:06:35.473,0:06:39.663
to be delayed. Once she walked out to her[br]car she noticed I was parked next to her

0:06:39.720,0:06:45.290
and not in my car, so she immediately[br]came back inside. It doesn't take more

0:06:45.290,0:06:49.112
than a couple minutes to fill out the [br]check-in form and sign in.

0:06:49.302,0:06:54.595
There is one door in and out of the [br]building. There is only one path to the

0:06:54.595,0:07:00.315
building. Which had a clear line of sight.[br]I had pictures of myself on the walk into

0:07:00.315,0:07:04.569
the building which didn't have her in them[br]We didn't cross paths until she came back

0:07:04.569,0:07:10.365
inside. Neither of us saw each other, even[br]though we were both waiting and looking

0:07:10.365,0:07:15.260
for each other. There is no way that I[br]would have missed her.

0:07:15.657,0:07:19.657
I would have noticed another human being[br]walking right beside me, especially my own

0:07:19.657,0:07:23.657
mother. I was only a few feet away from [br]the entrance to the hallway the entire

0:07:23.657,0:07:30.377
time. Only my mom and I experienced this [br]glitch. No one else noticed, or thought it

0:07:30.377,0:07:32.816
was a big deal.

0:07:34.831,0:07:36.661
(Story number) 3

0:07:36.661,0:07:41.494
Last summer there was a wild thunderstorm[br]That covered the entire UK.

0:07:41.987,0:07:45.987
All in all, the day itself seemed quite [br]peculiar.

0:07:46.191,0:07:50.191
Things just seemed turned off. I felt edgy[br]all day, as had others.

0:07:50.650,0:07:54.320
I was at my mum's house who lived around[br]the corner from me. My partner and I

0:07:54.320,0:07:58.218
frequent there. [br]I think we left there about 9pm-ism, give

0:07:58.218,0:08:02.658
or take. I was speaking to my friend in[br]Cardiff, around 40 miles from us, and the

0:08:02.658,0:08:06.658
phone died. I could have sworn that the[br]battery was around 70%.

0:08:07.905,0:08:12.585
The phone was relatively new none the less[br]we headed home with the dog through the

0:08:12.585,0:08:16.414
wooded area. It's really warm and humid.

0:08:16.414,0:08:20.265
We get to the front area of our home and[br]our neighbors are outside having a drink

0:08:20.265,0:08:23.415
and a chat. So, we got engaged in[br]conversation with them

0:08:23.415,0:08:25.125
for maybe half-an-hour

0:08:25.125,0:08:29.745
Nothing strange there. I started telling[br]my neighbor about a weird experience I had

0:08:29.745,0:08:35.408
when I was younger. Much younger. I[br]hallucinated spiders crawling all over me.

0:08:35.864,0:08:41.414
Back to the story. Well, midway through[br]telling my neighbor and how horrific it

0:08:41.863,0:08:46.093
was my partner's phone range. It happened[br]to be my eldest sister and my niece.

0:08:46.550,0:08:51.620
They were both quite upset and frantic,[br]asking where I was and if I was alright.

0:08:51.747,0:08:55.607
"Yeah, he's fine. He's right here." My[br]partner said, and they were asking what

0:08:55.607,0:08:59.868
the hell I was playing at. My partner[br]passed the phone over to me.

0:08:59.868,0:09:03.793
Long story short, my niece was getting[br]private calls from a private number.

0:09:03.793,0:09:09.177
She didn't answer them. 4 or 5 in total, [br]I think. All these calls were received

0:09:09.196,0:09:13.636
within the previous 10 minutes. Well, she[br]had received 3 voicemails.

0:09:13.977,0:09:18.177
The voicemails were from me, well, sounded[br]like me anyway.

0:09:18.301,0:09:22.581
There was lots of interference similar to[br]static and white noise, that kind of thing

0:09:22.786,0:09:26.134
I don't know.[br]The alarming about these calls was I was

0:09:26.134,0:09:30.134
crying. The timestamp of the calls was the[br]correct date and time.

0:09:30.134,0:09:34.661
Each message similar. And some of the[br]messages were word-for-word what I said to

0:09:34.661,0:09:39.252
my neighbor about how scared I was etc.[br]But the answerphone messages began with me

0:09:39.252,0:09:44.532
saying "I've made a terrible mistake, I[br]can't see any other way out." or something

0:09:44.532,0:09:48.552
like that.[br]My blood ran cold. I pulled my phone out

0:09:48.552,0:09:52.966
and showed everyone, my neighbor, my[br]partner etc. my battery was dead.

0:09:53.069,0:09:57.959
I was in good spirits etc.. And because my[br]battery was dead my sister and niece were

0:09:57.959,0:10:02.114
so upset and scared because they thought I[br]planned to take my own life.

0:10:02.574,0:10:06.854
I felt real uneasy and this bothered me[br]all night.

0:10:07.137,0:10:13.467
Confused and bewildered we went inside.[br]I was literally as white as a ghost.

0:10:14.305,0:10:18.445
I felt like I was a ghost trying to figure[br]out how, what, why, and when.

0:10:19.609,0:10:24.769
I charged my phone a little, turned in on,[br]called back my friend, and told him what

0:10:24.782,0:10:29.332
happened. He was blown away.[br]We love paranormal stuff, but this was

0:10:29.332,0:10:35.688
just wrong. He assured me this was [br]probably just a mistaken identity. And we

0:10:35.688,0:10:41.948
said our goodbyes, got the dogs fed etc.[br]must have been around 11:45 to midnightism

0:10:42.176,0:10:45.890
and this horrendous thunderstorm, which[br]was different to any other I've ever

0:10:45.890,0:10:51.191
witnessed, just rolled in and stayed for [br]an hour to an hour-and-a-half.

0:10:51.574,0:10:57.271
I even went outside and filmed several[br]videos of it because its that phenomenal

0:10:57.271,0:11:03.201
Shortly after the storm, my friend called[br]me 40 miles away and sounded quite alarmed

0:11:03.201,0:11:07.918
"You hearing the same. miss?" referring to[br]the storm, it was there too, it was quite

0:11:07.918,0:11:13.348
frightening. Now all my videos, and camera[br]pic for my evidence was stored on my cloud

0:11:13.454,0:11:20.214
The device, the SD card, and my NAS, but[br]not one of the videos from the storm are

0:11:20.214,0:11:23.856
there. Not one. What the hell happened?

0:11:23.856,0:11:27.509
I've been holding off posting because I [br]wanted to see if anyone else posted

0:11:27.509,0:11:32.732
something similar. And I've read the past[br]few days a lot of phone-related posts

0:11:33.597,0:11:35.999
and I just can't get this off my mind.

0:11:35.999,0:11:38.499
I can't seem to tie it all together.

0:11:38.499,0:11:43.252
Love, light, and blessings to you all.

0:11:43.639,0:11:45.069
(Story number) 4

0:11:45.069,0:11:49.719
I lose everything and anything.[br]If my hands touch it the risk of it being

0:11:49.719,0:11:53.219
misplaced shoots to over 50%.

0:11:53.479,0:11:58.289
And I accept a lot of this as just me [br]being me, but I swear on bigfoot and all

0:11:58.289,0:12:02.289
the cryptids in the forest that sometimes[br]it's really not my fault.

0:12:03.295,0:12:07.805
My most recent example involves my wallet[br]something I am very protective over

0:12:07.805,0:12:11.805
because I'm sure that if I'm not watching[br]it like a hawk, I may lose it.

0:12:12.452,0:12:16.452
I literally check my purse every minute to[br]see if my wallet is still there when I am

0:12:16.452,0:12:19.932
out and about. It's kind of a problem.

0:12:20.012,0:12:24.165
Anyways, I've been seeing this guy for[br]about 6 months and we are very comfortable

0:12:24.165,0:12:29.645
with each other. He is nearly twice my age[br]and makes at least as much money as me.

0:12:29.742,0:12:34.182
One night I had my wallet halfway unzipped[br]on his coffee table next to his where I

0:12:34.182,0:12:39.403
could see it. He dyed my hair and we[br]watched a movie. He made note

0:12:39.403,0:12:42.744
of where my wallet was, commenting that my[br]money was looking like

0:12:42.744,0:12:43.914
a mess in there again

0:12:43.914,0:12:47.177
He had organized it about a month before.

0:12:47.177,0:12:51.177
When it was time for bed I looked at it [br]and thought to myself "I shouldn't leave

0:12:51.197,0:12:55.456
my wallet out in the open.. Ah, it's fine.[br]The doors are locked, and we've never had

0:12:55.456,0:13:02.150
an issue." So off to bed we went. [br]In the morning we come downstairs and it's

0:13:02.150,0:13:06.423
fucking gone. I know for a fact he didn't[br]leave my sight all night because I am an

0:13:06.423,0:13:11.711
incrediably light sleeper. Even if I[br]wasn't he makes way more money than me.

0:13:11.711,0:13:17.619
I know neither of us touched it, and his [br]wallet is on the table where he left it.

0:13:18.075,0:13:21.495
Everything else is in its place.

0:13:21.561,0:13:25.301
I was in a rush to leave, so we start [br]tearing the livingroom apart looking for

0:13:25.301,0:13:29.208
this goddamn wallet. We are both very [br]confused and in disbelief.

0:13:29.208,0:13:34.485
We check under the couch several times, in[br]the couch, under his TV, behind his TV.

0:13:34.842,0:13:38.862
He offers to give me cash for the day if[br]I want to leave while he keeps looking but

0:13:38.862,0:13:42.197
I decline.[br]Finally, we look again, and we pull the

0:13:42.197,0:13:45.850
couch out from almost the wall and we[br]find my wallet.

0:13:45.850,0:13:50.131
And now it's zipped shut, behind the couch[br]across the room.

0:13:50.418,0:13:54.758
He already knows my reputation of losing[br]things, but he himself was in shock at how

0:13:54.758,0:13:59.018
this could be possible. I am not exactly[br]surprised, this isn't anything new.

0:13:59.810,0:14:03.950
I'm just glad we found it.[br]Nothing in it was missing.

0:14:04.769,0:14:09.059
A shorter story.[br]I got a note 10 phone in September, and

0:14:09.084,0:14:12.844
what's killing me is the fact that they [br]have no headphone jack.

0:14:12.844,0:14:16.357
It sucks.[br]So I was holding on to the wired earbuds

0:14:16.357,0:14:20.351
that came with it for dear life. I put [br]them in their own secluded zipped

0:14:20.351,0:14:26.488
compartment in my purse, and religiously[br]put them back every single time and one

0:14:26.488,0:14:32.056
day they weren't there. Gone. Looked[br]everywhere for them for around 2 weeks and

0:14:32.056,0:14:36.692
they didn't turn up. So I just shelled[br]out the money for wireless bluetooth buds.

0:14:37.560,0:14:41.650
But I am still in disbelief on how they [br]could be gone when I was so careful with

0:14:41.650,0:14:44.207
them. Anyone have similar stories?

0:14:44.207,0:14:47.152
I swear to god I am being followed by some[br]asshole spirit.

0:14:47.152,0:14:50.803
(Story number 5)

0:14:50.803,0:14:53.748
This happened last year and I will never[br]forget it.

0:14:53.748,0:14:55.830
It freaked me out so bad.

0:14:55.830,0:14:58.756
I'm in my early 30's. My mind is as sharp[br]as a tack.

0:14:58.756,0:15:01.428
I'm a mother as well so I'm usually always[br]on point

0:15:01.428,0:15:05.149
and stick vigilantly to safety and keeping[br]my doors locked and staying alert.

0:15:05.149,0:15:10.021
I also believe strongly in the paranormal[br]glitches and have a few stories to tell.

0:15:10.706,0:15:13.146
But for now, I'll share this one.

0:15:13.146,0:15:15.777
This incident really has me baffled[br]even a year later.

0:15:15.781,0:15:18.981
I can't explain it.[br]So it was very early evening, still

0:15:18.981,0:15:23.663
daylight outside. It's just me and my 5[br]year old daughter at home during the day

0:15:23.663,0:15:28.242
and my husband works. Normally my husband[br]will text me letting me know when he is on

0:15:28.242,0:15:32.675
his way home from work. When he gets home[br]he jumps right into the shower due to him

0:15:32.675,0:15:36.680
doing dirty construction work. It is the[br]the usual daily routine.

0:15:37.353,0:15:41.315
My husband had just texted me saying he'd [br]be home from work in a few minutes.

0:15:41.315,0:15:45.975
So my daughter and I went to the bathroom[br]to clean up our clothes, makeup, etc. from

0:15:45.975,0:15:50.274
the day knowing he'd be coming home and [br]wanting a shower. A few minutes pass and

0:15:50.274,0:15:54.786
we both hear a car door shut. From where[br]our bathroom is you can easily see the

0:15:54.786,0:16:00.084
front door, and see out the window. I[br]looked up and saw my husbands black truck

0:16:00.084,0:16:04.350
parked where he usually parks, right in [br]front of the house. I then hear the

0:16:04.350,0:16:09.019
backdoor open and footsteps in the kitchen[br]I look over at my daughter who says

0:16:09.019,0:16:15.311
"Daddy's home.". So, clearly she heard the[br]sounds as well. I then hear my husband's

0:16:15.311,0:16:20.045
keys being set down on the kitchen table.[br]Clear as day. I say "Hey babe," as I walk

0:16:20.045,0:16:24.452
out of the bathroom, excited to see him. [br]Only to find no one in my kitchen.

0:16:24.452,0:16:28.762
No husband, no keys, and the backdoor was[br]still locked.

0:16:28.762,0:16:33.983
I was in shock. I ran to the front door to[br]see if my husband's car was still parked.

0:16:34.103,0:16:40.304
Nope. No car. No husband. Then just a few[br]seconds later as I'm standing there by the

0:16:40.304,0:16:45.461
window I see him driving down out street [br]toward our house, park in a spot, get out

0:16:45.461,0:16:49.939
of his truck, gather his things and reach[br]into his backback for his house keys.

0:16:50.185,0:16:54.075
So who or what just walked into my minutes[br]earlier?

0:16:54.075,0:16:58.043
When my husband came inside he said I [br]looked like I had seen a ghost.

0:16:58.043,0:17:01.936
I asked him over and over if he had come[br]home a few minutes earlier, knowing full

0:17:01.936,0:17:05.809
well that would have been impossible. He[br]looked at me like I was crazy.

0:17:05.809,0:17:09.603
My daughter definitely heard the same[br]sounds I did and thought he was home as

0:17:09.603,0:17:12.532
well. [br]To this day I still have no explanation

0:17:12.532,0:17:16.774
for it. Although this wouldn't be he first[br]time something odd happened here.

0:17:18.466,0:17:20.155
(Story number) 6

0:17:20.155,0:17:25.107
I was minding my own business at 3 am. No[br]idea why I was still awake, no idea why I

0:17:25.107,0:17:31.533
am still awake while making this post, [br]when I realized I was really hungry. Now,

0:17:31.533,0:17:35.674
normally because it is so late and with[br]sleep and all, I wouldn't eat food at this

0:17:35.674,0:17:39.436
time. But I was really hungry because I [br]had a busy day and didn't even have a

0:17:39.436,0:17:42.310
proper dinner. So I headed to the kitchen.

0:17:42.310,0:17:46.833
I was just making myself a simple meal[br]with some rice, beans, and avocados.

0:17:46.833,0:17:52.583
Just keeping it really simple. So I cooked[br]the rice, obviously, grabbed a couple of

0:17:52.583,0:17:57.629
avocados, and put my cutting board to [br]slice it up, and some canned black beans.

0:17:57.856,0:18:03.206
Here is where it got a bit strange. I 100%[br]remember grabbing a can of black beans

0:18:03.206,0:18:08.184
from my cupboard. Like, guaranteed. I know[br]this for a fact because I specifically

0:18:08.184,0:18:12.652
remember putting it down on the counter,[br]and kind of observing the label on the can

0:18:12.652,0:18:16.802
out of curiosity because I never really[br]get canned black beans.

0:18:16.802,0:18:21.452
The rice is done, so I leave the canned[br]black beans on the counter right next to

0:18:21.452,0:18:26.894
me, a bit out of my periphery to my left,[br]while I peel and cut the avocados.

0:18:26.894,0:18:31.259
Give or take about a minute and a half and[br]I know I have rice and avocados all

0:18:31.259,0:18:36.286
finished. So, I turn to grab the can of[br]black beans I realize halfway through

0:18:36.286,0:18:40.960
doing this that I need a can opener. Duh.[br]So I immediately turn back around and grab

0:18:40.960,0:18:45.686
the can opener from the drawer next to[br]me. I get the can opener and work my way

0:18:45.686,0:18:50.465
around the can. Halfway through I realize[br]a funny smell coming out of it. Definitely

0:18:50.465,0:18:54.615
not a smell that black beans would make.[br]And then come upon the realization that I

0:18:54.615,0:18:59.313
have been opening a can of sweetpeas. This[br]is so strange because there were no other

0:18:59.313,0:19:03.529
cans on my kitchen counter. Nobody awake[br]in my household to replace the can.

0:19:03.537,0:19:09.187
To my left, slightly out of my vision, and[br]I was literally certain that I had a can

0:19:09.187,0:19:13.748
of black beans. I go back to the cupboard [br]where I initially grabbed the black beans

0:19:14.092,0:19:19.501
and literally fondly have a memory of [br]grabbing that specific can. And it is

0:19:19.501,0:19:23.459
still exactly where I had seen it before[br]grabbing it the first time. There is no

0:19:23.459,0:19:27.232
explanation that comes to me because I [br]literally remember thinking, searching,

0:19:27.232,0:19:31.440
and even saying out loud to myself that I[br]need black beans the first time I grabbed

0:19:31.440,0:19:37.194
it. For which I successfully did. As I[br]tried to put together what happened, I

0:19:37.194,0:19:41.090
look up at the clock. The specific moment[br]as I tried to make sense of all of this

0:19:41.090,0:19:46.910
in my head and it was exactly 3:33am. [br]What's even more strange is that I have

0:19:46.910,0:19:52.523
never seen a can of sweet peas a single [br]time in our household it could be possible

0:19:52.523,0:19:58.560
that another living family member of mine[br]could have bought it, I guess, I am yet to

0:19:58.560,0:20:02.644
ask because they are all asleep as I said[br]earlier. But in the many years I

0:20:02.644,0:20:06.926
have spent living here I have never seen[br]a single can of sweet peas.

0:20:10.358,0:20:11.798
(Story number) 7

0:20:11.988,0:20:14.369
This happened to me about a year ago

0:20:14.369,0:20:16.247
I speak three languages with varying

0:20:16.247,0:20:17.370
levels of fluency

0:20:17.370,0:20:20.051
English noticeably isn't my first language

0:20:20.051,0:20:21.762
I live in a Spanish speaking country

0:20:21.762,0:20:23.723
and it is very rare to see someone here

0:20:23.723,0:20:25.476
speaking a foreign language

0:20:25.476,0:20:27.198
I was sitting waiting in line for a

0:20:27.198,0:20:28.082
document
