(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.

(Story number) 3

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.

(Story number) 4

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.

(Story number) 7

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
