(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
