(Story number) 1 Night sky of another place and completely foreign to me
First to fully get this, a short introduction is needed.
I live in an eastern European country and I have been sort of an astronomy
and dinosaur, which is irrelevant, buff since I was 8 or 9.
That is not to say that I am an astronomer or astrologist for that matter, even an
amateur one.
My 10 year older cousin is and he got me interested when I was a kid so I got
myself to read and learn everything I could on the matter.
As a kid, one of the most interesting things to me were the constellations.
During the next couple of years I got to know all of them.
Even ones from the southern hemisphere
which I only got to
see in books at the time
summer or winter.
I decided to share this because this morning the shift occurred to me for
the fourth time. I'm getting to it now.
I work in two shifts: 6am-2pm and 2pm-10pm
All four occurrences took place in the early morning before first shift.
So I have a sort of ritual energy every morning before first shift.
I wake up at 4am, brew a cup of coffee, use the restroom, get dressed.
I take my coffee and get out to the balcony of my second-story apartment and
have a smoke with my coffee.
I do this without fail every morning, winter or summer.
With the only difference being if I put on my jacket.
Now normally I enjoy the warmth of coffee against my hands while I smoke and watch
over a small green park my balcony is overlooking.
Or I scan the still night sky looking for Mars, Venus or Jupiter if they are visible
and looking at constellations.
If I raise my eyes straight up and a tiny bit to the right, for example, there is
Cassiopeia, looking like a huge "w".
And all the way to my right is Orion. There are others visible too, but these
two are enough for the story.
Every single morning at this time of year, October, it is exactly the same.
Well, every time except for the four times this post is about.
3 of the 4 happened last year during October and early November.
The fourth one occurred this very morning, again October. Coincidence?
So I follow my routine like every other morning at 4:10am.
But when I look at the sky constellations I see are completely unknown to me.
No Cassiopeia, no Orion or others. The stars don't match anything that can be
observed from our planet north or south, summer or winter.
For example, straight up I can see a formation that would match a perfect
circle of 11 stars. 3 of which are brighter than the rest.
Straight forward is a 5-starred upsidedown "Y".
To the right is a formation that would resemble a very long arrow, as in a
medieval weapon, or a vector.
To the right is a pair of nearly same shapes that resemble an s or a snake.
One larger than the other and with a different number of stars.
I can't recall if the sky was exactly like that last year when this happened.
But I did throw away my cigarette this this time and went for a piece of paper
to draw the outlines I could see. I was afraid that it would change to
normal sky by the time I returned but it didn't, so I stood there sketching it and
as I did, the stars started fading and others appeared, and slowly replaced the
ones that didn't match the normal sky. This lasted about a minute, maybe two,
and when it finished the sky was what it should be: Orion, Cassiopeia, Ursas, etc.
being where they should. I finished adding dots for the starts as I recalled the
minutes ago, and in a few minutes had to leave for work. I hadn't lost any time.
I didn't feel different in any way, apart from the awe I felt.
Once outside sky was again normal, and as far as I recall, it was the same the
previous 3 times. I have no explanation for this, apart from
it being a glitch in the matrix. I am keen to hear your thoughts, or from someone
who had the same thing happen to them.
It might not seem a huge thing but I feel it is. So much that I am spending my
breakfast break typing this out.
(Story number) 2
This happened on August 13th, 2019.
I get together with my mom once a week at her work.
The only thing that started differently on this particular day was that I had just
downloaded snapchat. I parked right next to my mom's car, as usual, checked to see
if she was in her car, but she wasn't. I went ahead and was taking snaps on
the way into her work office. This is about a one minute walk.
I was taking plenty of pictures because I was especially feeling cute this day and I
was playing with the filters. I go in and sign in at the front desk right in front
of the door. There were two employees behind the desk and counter and a client
who was on my side of the counter. The three of them were chatting while I
singed in and filled out a brief paper that is required.
I am standing within 2 feet of the door this whole time no one came in or out.
I went ahead and sat in the lobby area, which is on the other side of the same
room, just away from the door. The desk area is right beside a hallway that leads
to the different therapy rooms. This hallway is between the lobby and the area
in front of the desk. I sat down and went to go text my mom to let her know I am
there. As soon as I went to go text her she walks in the door. She was perplexed
asking where I was. I was equally confused saying I've been right here. She had just
walked out the front door and passed all 3 people at the desk, but I was not there.
I was not in the same room as her and she never walked by me. The two other
employees both said that I was standing at the desk when my mom walked by.
About this time the other client left, that client was the first person to walk
out the door since I had arrived, yet somehow my mom had too.
The other employee said I was standing with the other client and was right in
front of the door when my mom walked outside.
In order for my mom to walk by me she would have to be in arms reach.
I would have definitely seen her walk out
She was expecting me and we had already been texting prior to this.
So, she knew when I was even on the way.
Sometimes she may have a client run over their time. It wasn't too unusual for her
to be delayed. Once she walked out to her car she noticed I was parked next to her
and not in my car, so she immediately came back inside. It doesn't take more
than a couple minutes to fill out the check-in form and sign in.
There is one door in and out of the building. There is only one path to the
building. Which had a clear line of sight. I had pictures of myself on the walk into
the building which didn't have her in them We didn't cross paths until she came back
inside. Neither of us saw each other, even though we were both waiting and looking
for each other. There is no way that I would have missed her.
I would have noticed another human being walking right beside me, especially my own
mother. I was only a few feet away from the entrance to the hallway the entire
time. Only my mom and I experienced this glitch. No one else noticed, or thought it
was a big deal.

Last summer there was a wild thunderstorm That covered the entire UK.
All in all, the day itself seemed quite peculiar.
Things just seemed turned off. I felt edgy all day, as had others.
I was at my mum's house who lived around the corner from me. My partner and I
frequent there. I think we left there about 9pm-ism, give
or take. I was speaking to my friend in Cardiff, around 40 miles from us, and the
phone died. I could have sworn that the battery was around 70%.
The phone was relatively new none the less we headed home with the dog through the
wooded area. It's really warm and humid.
We get to the front area of our home and our neighbors are outside having a drink
and a chat. So, we got engaged in conversation with them
for maybe half-an-hour
Nothing strange there. I started telling my neighbor about a weird experience I had
when I was younger. Much younger. I hallucinated spiders crawling all over me.
Back to the story. Well, midway through telling my neighbor and how horrific it
was my partner's phone range. It happened to be my eldest sister and my niece.
They were both quite upset and frantic, asking where I was and if I was alright.
"Yeah, he's fine. He's right here." My partner said, and they were asking what
the hell I was playing at. My partner passed the phone over to me.
Long story short, my niece was getting private calls from a private number.
She didn't answer them. 4 or 5 in total, I think. All these calls were received
within the previous 10 minutes. Well, she had received 3 voicemails.
The voicemails were from me, well, sounded like me anyway.
There was lots of interference similar to static and white noise, that kind of thing
I don't know. The alarming about these calls was I was
crying. The timestamp of the calls was the correct date and time.
Each message similar. And some of the messages were word-for-word what I said to
my neighbor about how scared I was etc. But the answerphone messages began with me
saying "I've made a terrible mistake, I can't see any other way out." or something
like that. My blood ran cold. I pulled my phone out
and showed everyone, my neighbor, my partner etc. my battery was dead.
I was in good spirits etc.. And because my battery was dead my sister and niece were
so upset and scared because they thought I planned to take my own life.
I felt real uneasy and this bothered me all night.
Confused and bewildered we went inside. I was literally as white as a ghost.
I felt like I was a ghost trying to figure out how, what, why, and when.
I charged my phone a little, turned in on, called back my friend, and told him what
happened. He was blown away. We love paranormal stuff, but this was
just wrong. He assured me this was probably just a mistaken identity. And we
said our goodbyes, got the dogs fed etc. must have been around 11:45 to midnightism
and this horrendous thunderstorm, which was different to any other I've ever
witnessed, just rolled in and stayed for an hour to an hour-and-a-half.
I even went outside and filmed several videos of it because its that phenomenal
Shortly after the storm, my friend called me 40 miles away and sounded quite alarmed
"You hearing the same. miss?" referring to the storm, it was there too, it was quite
frightening. Now all my videos, and camera pic for my evidence was stored on my cloud
The device, the SD card, and my NAS, but not one of the videos from the storm are
there. Not one. What the hell happened?
I've been holding off posting because I wanted to see if anyone else posted
something similar. And I've read the past few days a lot of phone-related posts
and I just can't get this off my mind.
I can't seem to tie it all together.
Love, light, and blessings to you all.

I lose everything and anything. If my hands touch it the risk of it being
misplaced shoots to over 50%.
And I accept a lot of this as just me being me, but I swear on bigfoot and all
the cryptids in the forest that sometimes it's really not my fault.
My most recent example involves my wallet something I am very protective over
because I'm sure that if I'm not watching it like a hawk, I may lose it.
I literally check my purse every minute to see if my wallet is still there when I am
out and about. It's kind of a problem.
Anyways, I've been seeing this guy for about 6 months and we are very comfortable
with each other. He is nearly twice my age and makes at least as much money as me.
One night I had my wallet halfway unzipped on his coffee table next to his where I
could see it. He dyed my hair and we watched a movie. He made note
of where my wallet was, commenting that my money was looking like
a mess in there again
He had organized it about a month before.
When it was time for bed I looked at it and thought to myself "I shouldn't leave
my wallet out in the open.. Ah, it's fine. The doors are locked, and we've never had
an issue." So off to bed we went. In the morning we come downstairs and it's
fucking gone. I know for a fact he didn't leave my sight all night because I am an
incrediably light sleeper. Even if I wasn't he makes way more money than me.
I know neither of us touched it, and his wallet is on the table where he left it.
Everything else is in its place.
I was in a rush to leave, so we start tearing the livingroom apart looking for
this goddamn wallet. We are both very confused and in disbelief.
We check under the couch several times, in the couch, under his TV, behind his TV.
He offers to give me cash for the day if I want to leave while he keeps looking but
I decline. Finally, we look again, and we pull the
couch out from almost the wall and we find my wallet.
And now it's zipped shut, behind the couch across the room.
He already knows my reputation of losing things, but he himself was in shock at how
this could be possible. I am not exactly surprised, this isn't anything new.
I'm just glad we found it. Nothing in it was missing.
A shorter story. I got a note 10 phone in September, and
what's killing me is the fact that they have no headphone jack.
It sucks. So I was holding on to the wired earbuds
that came with it for dear life. I put them in their own secluded zipped
compartment in my purse, and religiously put them back every single time and one
day they weren't there. Gone. Looked everywhere for them for around 2 weeks and
they didn't turn up. So I just shelled out the money for wireless bluetooth buds.
But I am still in disbelief on how they could be gone when I was so careful with
them. Anyone have similar stories?
I swear to god I am being followed by some asshole spirit.
(Story number 5)
This happened last year and I will never forget it.
It freaked me out so bad.
I'm in my early 30's. My mind is as sharp as a tack.
I'm a mother as well so I'm usually always on point
and stick vigilantly to safety and keeping my doors locked and staying alert.
I also believe strongly in the paranormal glitches and have a few stories to tell.
But for now, I'll share this one.
This incident really has me baffled even a year later.
I can't explain it. So it was very early evening, still
daylight outside. It's just me and my 5 year old daughter at home during the day
and my husband works. Normally my husband will text me letting me know when he is on
his way home from work. When he gets home he jumps right into the shower due to him
doing dirty construction work. It is the the usual daily routine.
My husband had just texted me saying he'd be home from work in a few minutes.
So my daughter and I went to the bathroom to clean up our clothes, makeup, etc. from
the day knowing he'd be coming home and wanting a shower. A few minutes pass and
we both hear a car door shut. From where our bathroom is you can easily see the
front door, and see out the window. I looked up and saw my husbands black truck
parked where he usually parks, right in front of the house. I then hear the
backdoor open and footsteps in the kitchen I look over at my daughter who says
"Daddy's home.". So, clearly she heard the sounds as well. I then hear my husband's
keys being set down on the kitchen table. Clear as day. I say "Hey babe," as I walk
out of the bathroom, excited to see him. Only to find no one in my kitchen.
No husband, no keys, and the backdoor was still locked.
I was in shock. I ran to the front door to see if my husband's car was still parked.
Nope. No car. No husband. Then just a few seconds later as I'm standing there by the
window I see him driving down out street toward our house, park in a spot, get out
of his truck, gather his things and reach into his backback for his house keys.
So who or what just walked into my minutes earlier?
When my husband came inside he said I looked like I had seen a ghost.
I asked him over and over if he had come home a few minutes earlier, knowing full
well that would have been impossible. He looked at me like I was crazy.
My daughter definitely heard the same sounds I did and thought he was home as
well. To this day I still have no explanation
for it. Although this wouldn't be he first time something odd happened here.
(Story number) 6
I was minding my own business at 3 am. No idea why I was still awake, no idea why I
am still awake while making this post, when I realized I was really hungry. Now,
normally because it is so late and with sleep and all, I wouldn't eat food at this
time. But I was really hungry because I had a busy day and didn't even have a
proper dinner. So I headed to the kitchen.
I was just making myself a simple meal with some rice, beans, and avocados.
Just keeping it really simple. So I cooked the rice, obviously, grabbed a couple of
avocados, and put my cutting board to slice it up, and some canned black beans.
Here is where it got a bit strange. I 100% remember grabbing a can of black beans
from my cupboard. Like, guaranteed. I know this for a fact because I specifically
remember putting it down on the counter, and kind of observing the label on the can
out of curiosity because I never really get canned black beans.
The rice is done, so I leave the canned black beans on the counter right next to
me, a bit out of my periphery to my left, while I peel and cut the avocados.
Give or take about a minute and a half and I know I have rice and avocados all
finished. So, I turn to grab the can of black beans I realize halfway through
doing this that I need a can opener. Duh. So I immediately turn back around and grab
the can opener from the drawer next to me. I get the can opener and work my way
around the can. Halfway through I realize a funny smell coming out of it. Definitely
not a smell that black beans would make. And then come upon the realization that I
have been opening a can of sweetpeas. This is so strange because there were no other
cans on my kitchen counter. Nobody awake in my household to replace the can.
To my left, slightly out of my vision, and I was literally certain that I had a can
of black beans. I go back to the cupboard where I initially grabbed the black beans
and literally fondly have a memory of grabbing that specific can. And it is
still exactly where I had seen it before grabbing it the first time. There is no
explanation that comes to me because I literally remember thinking, searching,
and even saying out loud to myself that I need black beans the first time I grabbed
it. For which I successfully did. As I tried to put together what happened, I
look up at the clock. The specific moment as I tried to make sense of all of this
in my head and it was exactly 3:33am. What's even more strange is that I have
never seen a can of sweet peas a single time in our household it could be possible
that another living family member of mine could have bought it, I guess, I am yet to
ask because they are all asleep as I said earlier. But in the many years I
have spent living here I have never seen a single can of sweet peas.

This happened to me about a year ago
I speak three languages with varying
levels of fluency
English noticeably isn't my first language
I live in a Spanish speaking country
and it is very rare to see someone here
speaking a foreign language
I was sitting waiting in line for a
document
