Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their creepiest experiences with encountering "glitches" in the world. You know, those trippy moments when you find yourself questioning how what just happened could be real. Nothing beats those times when you dream that you wake up, but in reality you've been dreaming the whole time. Or is it all just a dream?

    Text - Purple_Bandmate • 15h Was taking the train home one afternoon and an old man was sitting a row ahead of me. He turned around and asked for directions to the hospital, and told him which stop to get off at. Eventually, his stop arrives and he gets up to leave, but before he exits he turned and said "thank you, l'll see you later." I said "yeah no problem," and again he said "ITI| see you later" and he looked me right in the eye. I said "sure, see ya" and he got off the train and hobbled aw

    Text - Discretion_for_Miles • 13h A few years ago, my wife and I were riding in a car with my parents. We were all just chatting, and my dad kept periodically drumming on the steering wheel and humming the opening bars to "Down Under" by Men At Work. This happened a few times over a span of ten minutes or so, and finally my mom asked him “What song is that?". Dad replied by singing the chorus, and we all laughed. A few minutes later, he reached over to turn on the radio and I had this weird feel

After I took another step I looked all over and it was all solid - it was a weird random thing but l'll never forget it

    Text - fallenhiro • 13h While this may not seem creepy, I can tell you the experience most definitely was creepy. This happened when I was 8 and working in the yard with my mom. My mother and I were doing the spring planting in the flower beds around the house. I went inside for a pee break and on my way to the bathroom I had to walk through the living room. T entered the LR through the kitchen. Looked up and on the other side of the LR, I saw sitting on the couch none other than my sister. She

    Text - LakePale • 17h Sometimes when I dream, and I wake up, I "wake up". I know it's a dream. I just know it's a dream. But I can't "wake up". And the harder I try to wake up, or the more I realize I have to wake up, the scarier it gets, even though nothing really changes. It feels like a darkness enveloping you as you try and wake up from your fake room. How do I know it's a fake room? Just some weird details. Like how my wall looks a little TOO white. Or the christmas tree's lights are on whe

    Text - bscottprice • 12h 1 Award T had a dream about a coworker. She loved dogs and would always ask me to share pictures of my GSD and Labrador whenever we'd talk at work. In the dream she was on a couch crying. My Labrador is a very emotional connected dog. She goes to anyone she thinks is sad, which is exactly what she did in the dream. My coworker looked at me and said, "thank you for sharing her, I feel better about all of this now". I found out at work the next day that my coworker had tri

    Text - HelpwithSAdog • 17h I had a dream an old friend (who i hadn't spoken to or seen around or anything in about 2 years) died and I went to his funeral. I woke up and thought "whoa, thats weird" and went to check his Facebook to see what he was up to. He had gone missing a few days previous, but his body wasn't found until over a year later.

    Text - lulabellbell • 15h 3 2 Awards In sixth grade I called my mom to let her know my dad was about to head her way to drop my little sister & I off (divorced parents). When she answered I said, 'Mama' & my mom frantically asked, '(my name)?? Is that you??! I said 'yes', she asked where I was, I said 'Daddy's house, we're about to come home now, just wanted to let you know. Love you mama'. She asked me, 'Who's daddy?, where are you? Are you ok?' Obviously I was confused and just answered, 'mama

    Text - Koal_404 • 17h When I was little, my family was at my grandparent's place. They had a pool in the back, and us kids were swimming while our parents ate on the porch. I, being a devious eight-year-old, decided to swim into the deep end where I was not yet allowed. Being cocky and overconfident about my ability to swim, I dove down and touched the bottom of the pool. I stayed down there for a moment before felt I needed air. I started to swim up, but I realized that I needed air a lot more

    Text - sofreshandsoclean2 • 12h One night my dad was tucking me in when I was 8 years old. He said goodnight and I replied "goodbye." He asked me why I said by and we laughed it off, it was just an accident. The next morning my brother found him passed in the living room. He had a heart attack in the middle of the night at the age of 48.

    Text - fearsyth • 15h Had a bonfire at a family member's home. They put a sheet of metal on a concrete slab, then built the bonfire on top. No one thought about what happens when you make a hot spot in the middle of a frozen concrete slab. The concrete expands with no where to go, so it literally explodes. I was the closest to the fire. When if exploded, I had enough time to check where the debris was going to see that I wasn't going to be hit. Look over at my mother and think, "I should move an

It bothered me enough that I mentioned it to my wife. My wife said that I should email my cousin and ask her if everyone is okay. I sent off an email asking if everyone is okay because I had this dream, explaining the dream, but I am probably just being silly. She emails me back the next day and says no I

I remember the first day we got him I played with him, went upstairs for bed, fell asleep, woke up, came back downstairs, and he was dead. I was really sad that the pet we had just gotten was dead, and my parents informed me we had him for a year before he died. I literally have no recollection of that entire year. I just get a hamster, fall asleep, miss a year of my life, wake up, hamsters

    Text - 28454 • 14h When I was 13 years old I had a 13 gallon fish tank on a shelf on my wall. My father had recently passed away and the last thing we did together was set it up, he got me red tipped-type sharks to put in it since sharks were my favorite animal. Well, sometime shortly after he died I wake up one morning and there isn't a drop of moisture in the tank. I move the rocks and plants around (there was about an inch high amount) and no sign water was ever in it. The fish died of course

Thing is, less than a minute ago I

I was crying uncontrollably and when I finally figured out it was grandpaI was too embarrassed to admit that I thought it was my dad. called him later and told him and he just laughed. Anyway fast forward three weeks and my dad dies too. Part of me thinks mishearing her was the universe preparing me to lose him. It was weird because it was like I

    Text - RoseyDove323• 17h One night when I was a teenager, I got up to use the bathroom, and I looked down the stairs from the hallway and I saw my then 14 year old brother walking past the downstairs corridor from one room to another. I knew it was him because of his long-ish hair that he had at the time, and his gait. I even saw his baggy jeans shape (it was the mid 00's). I thought it was out of character and weird for him to be walking around in the dark and at that hour in day clothes, but I

Our bathroom sink and mirror was next to the door and as I was brushing my teeth I saw and heard my 4 year old sister run past the bathroom through the mirror. Now mind you, there's no other way back to her room since we only had one hallway leading to all the bedrooms and it was past the bathroom. I went to the living room, kitchen and dining room to find her to send her back to bed and I c

He put his briefcase down next to me, walked up the stairs (I lived in a split level/raised ranch) and I heard him say hi to my mother and give her a kiss on the cheek as he always did. Right after that happened, the door opened, and it was my father (again). He smiled at me, but I just looked scared, and said "you just did that." I looked o

Seemingly by instinct I said, "Why are you always kicking rugs about?" I got puzzled looks from everyone. You see, at that moment I had a distinct memory of him doing it only very recently before, it felt like hours ago not days or weeks or whatever. I can even see the rug that he was kicking before, blue with

I can't really explain it but it felt like my life "started" right there and everything that happened before that was more of a programmed memory to form something of a backstory for my personality. I honestly forgot about t

It just said random stuff after 'listening' to your request. So. We took the not-furby and make a Charlie-Charlie game thing, with like the pencils and the no-yes. So, we ask the furby if Charlie Charlie was there.. and.. the pencils don't move. But the not-furby.. it started glitching out and making strange noises. Me and my friends r
