Starting point is 00:00:00 Do you have a scary story you want to share with me? Go to that as the ravendreams.com slash submit website and send it my way. Thank you. Hello, everyone. A long-time lurker, first-time poster. I've had many glitch in the Matrix experiences throughout my life, but this post is detailing my most recent experience. The situation I will describe here has been an ongoing experience with
Starting point is 00:00:43 perceived anomalies occurring sporadically for about two years. And it was supposed to cover a few selected events. So, please, bear with its lengthiness. I moved into a rented home with my girlfriend in September of 2019, in which she had already been living for about three years. Over the course of the two years that I lived there, I noticed some strange occurrences that have remained unexplained, most of which involve objects appearing in the home that neither of us brought in,
Starting point is 00:01:22 as well as objects that we own moving without us having touched them. Not long after moving in, I started to hear strange noises in the house, which sounded like light thudding. I eventually realized that the sounds were coming from our front door. The sounds range from a noise that would be made if you tried to open the door when it was locked. We always keep the tour locked, even when we're both home, to a noise that could be described as a light thud against the doorframe, like someone struck their palm against it.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Although these noises can be heard at any time of day, they typically occur at night. When I hear them, I'm generally sitting on our sofa, which is positioned in such a way that I can see the window by the front door, and any time I look out the window, after hearing these noises, there's no one to be seen. Our house is situated in a well-lit suburban cul-de-sac, and our front door is situated atop a raised stoop that does not allow for any hiding spots. My girlfriend has heard these noises as well, but she has only ever mentioned hearing them when I am sitting there with them.
Starting point is 00:02:40 her. She's never mentioned hearing them when I'm not home, nor did she ever hear them prior to me moving in with her. Another thing that is strange about this phenomenon is that delivery drivers seem compelled to open our door. I have seen both a postal driver and an Amazon delivery driver approach our door to deliver something during the day, with our cars parked in the driveway, in view of the whole neighborhood, and attempt to open the door. In both situations, the driver would approach to put down the delivery, and then immediately attempt to open the door,
Starting point is 00:03:23 and then quickly turned to leave. Their behavior looked almost robotic, as if they were being controlled, and after they turned to head towards their vehicle, they walked off calmly as if they were unaware of what they had done. Another set of phenomena that has regularly occurred is the unexplained appearance slash disappearance of objects in our home, typically mundane objects, such as food items or OTC medication. One related event of a particular interest occurred about eight months ago. My girlfriend, who is a schoolteacher, invited a friend slash co-worker over to host.
Starting point is 00:04:09 host a virtual outdoor education event for their school. They were live-streaming the event in our yard, next to a bonfire. Being a winter night, the weather was particularly cold. As they were making some final preparations to begin the live stream, something compelled me to go in to our kitchen and look through our pantry. In the pantry, was an unopened box of instant hot cocoa packets, which is something that neither of us regularly consume. Assuming my girlfriend had bought it,
Starting point is 00:04:46 I shrugged it off and began preparing some for the ladies to drink. It was a cold night after all, and I felt like it would be a nice, hostly gesture. Once the event was over and our friend left, my girlfriend asked me when I had purchased the cocoa, to which I naturally had. explained that I didn't. I began thinking about all guests we have had come to our home recently, and was certain
Starting point is 00:05:15 that none of them had brought the cocoa with them. What's even more strange is that the cocoa was sitting forefront in the pantry shelf. The two of us would have seen it, or moved it out of the way in order to get to the items we regularly use. Another similar occurrence took place just a few weeks. later. When opening the pantry to grab a late-night snack, I found an unopened box of microwave popcorn. The popcorn brand happened to be our favorite. We're both popcorn fanatics, but are particular about the kind that we eat. And I assumed that my girlfriend had picked it up on her way home one evening.
Starting point is 00:06:00 When I began making the popcorn, she got excited and asked when I got the popcorn, to which I again, explain that I didn't. Because we both love this particular kind of popcorn, we typically eat it at least three times a week. One of us would have opened the box at some point prior to this evening. It had been about a week or so since we'd gone grocery shopping, and neither of us had seen it in our pantry prior to this moment. And, as was the case with the hot cocoa,
Starting point is 00:06:36 the box of popcorn was sitting at the forefront of the pantry shelf in a place that it certainly would not have been overlooked. A few months later, my girlfriend went on a kayaking trip with some friends. She had borrowed a car roof rack from someone, a kayaking junkie who takes pride in her equipment, including the necessary straps used to secure the boat. after returning home, my girlfriend unloads her kayak into our garage and places the roof rack right next to it. The straps would have needed to be with the roof rack, otherwise the kayak would have fallen off of her car on the drive home.
Starting point is 00:07:21 A few days pass, and her friend comes to pick up the rack. But, in a rush, had apparently forgotten to get the straps. The friend contacts my girlfriend a few days. later and asks what happened to the straps. My girlfriend and I thoroughly searched the garage in her car, and the straps were nowhere to be found. Aside from objects mysteriously appearing and disappearing, I have found my belongings in odd places that they should not be, and one time actually witnessed one move in my peripheral vision. The object that I witnessed move on its own was my jaw harp.
Starting point is 00:08:05 A few weeks ago, after playing it one evening, I placed it on our coffee table, far enough from the table's edge so that it couldn't have fallen off by bumping into the table. I went to use the toilet, and as I walked back into the living room past the table, my jaw harp quickly glided across the tabletop onto the floor. I was about two feet away from the table,
Starting point is 00:08:32 and there was nothing for me to have bumped into that could have pushed the jaw harp in the way that it moved. My Xbox sits atop a breakfront right next to the coffee table, and, ever since the night that my jaw harp moved, my Xbox has been turning itself on at random moments, generally when I am within its proximity. The final story that I'll share happened just last week, We were out of tissues, and I needed to blow my nose before going to sleep.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Because I didn't feel like walking to the bathroom for some toilet paper to use, I opened my nightstand slash undergarment drawer to use a sock. Laundry day was coming soon, so who cares? I was prepared to remove one from a folded pair, but found a single unpaired sock right away. When it came time to do the laundry, the snot sock's companion, it was nowhere to be found. I threw the sock in with my other clothes,
Starting point is 00:09:32 hung everything once it was dry, and put that lone sock back into the drawer. A day later, my girlfriend was going through the closet to pick out work clothes, and I heard her laugh. She pulled out a pants hanger, one that has two metal clips for hanging pants by the waistline, and asked why I had hung a sock. She showed me a hanger with the missing sock-clipsed,
Starting point is 00:09:56 perfectly, as if it was being hung to dry. It was clipped in such a way that it looked deliberate. If it had been stuck to the pair of pants that were hung on the hangar, it certainly would have fallen off after the pants were unclipped. If you've made it this far into the post, thanks for reading. If anyone has experienced anything similar to what I've described or has some thoughts or comments about my story, Please do let me know.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Edit, we both can confirm that neither of us sleepwalk, nor do either of us have any amnesic disorders. That may explain the appearance of the mystery items or the objects being moved to strange places. I have many more experiences that I could share from this previous year, but I figured I would start with these because of how recent the stories are, and because they're relatively tame compared to. to the other stories, which are a bit frightening compared to the stories I posted about here.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Depending on how I feel about it, I may make another post in the near future to explain those experiences. I've been an avid follower of this subreddit for a long time, and while I have had my share of odd happenings throughout life, hardly any fit the description glitch in the Matrix. I did today experience something which seems like that type of event. What made it stand out is that it resembles something that happened to me some months ago. It was at the end of a workday, and as I commute by train, I took the local bus to the train station. I was in a hurry, as the bus was late that day, and it was only a few minutes or less before the train departed. Once aboard the train, I sat down to arrange my stuff,
Starting point is 00:12:08 I noticed that my right hand was covered in a red color. My immediate thought was that I had cut myself, and the red color was blood. However, I did not feel any pain and was unable to find any wound on the hand. In addition, it did not really resemble blood, but was more like a chemical red dye, I seemed to remember that it had a slight chemical smell, like marker pens.
Starting point is 00:12:39 As it was during the corona pandemic, I always had a bottle of alcohol-based disinfectant with me in my bag. Using this, I managed to get some of the red color off, but it was really hard. Like, it was some dye from a marking pen. I was bewildered as I wasn't able to come up with any explanation as to where the red color came from. I take the same route back from work every day, and something similar has not happened before. I did look at my clothes and bag to look for any spots of red, but found none. How could I have accidentally come into contact with something that made my whole hand red
Starting point is 00:13:19 without leaving any other marks? There was nothing in my office or the bus that I remember that could have caused anything like this. When I came home, it took quite a long hand wash with soap to get the rest of the color off. Some residues remained on my hand on the next day. The next day, I inspected my office closely to see if a red marker pen, which I do have there, had leaked. It hadn't. There were no red spots or markings anywhere.
Starting point is 00:13:53 The event must have happened on the bus, but how? I almost forgot about this event until today. While I was in the bathroom this morning, I suddenly noticed a bright streak of red on the floor coming from the big toe on one of my feet. My first thought was that it was blood, that I had cut my toe or otherwise scratched myself until a drop of blood fell on the floor.
Starting point is 00:14:19 However, I felt no pain and found no cut on the toe. Neither did I find any bleeding wound, on my body. The underside of my big toe was, however, stained red. I looked thoroughly at the floor but found no other red stains. When I tried to remove it with toilet paper soaked in water, it was resistance to be removed, similar to a way that a chemical red dye would, but not blood.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Typically, blood stains, having been in the air some time, it would form an edge of coagulated blood that is harder to remove than the rest, so that the outline of the blood stayed on a hard surface will remain after one or two wipes. This did not. It eventually left only a larger spot of very faint red color, similar to how a dye spot would do if one tried to remove it. There is nothing in the bathroom or vicinity that is a red-colored liquid. In both cases, the red die, if that's what this is, seems to have come from nowhere.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And while it may be a trivial explanation, I'm utterly unable to see any. 2019 to 2020 New Year's Eve. I was celebrating with my family. The countdown started. 10, 9, 8. As soon as the countdown hit the number one, I felt like my mind was sent into another reality. I was sent into a dark living room of someone else's house,
Starting point is 00:16:14 where, almost immediately, a fair-haired, bearded stranger peeped from the door of another room. He smiled, came over, and asked if everything was okay. For some reason, I felt deeply close to that stranger. I returned to reality. confused from what happened. The vision lasted two to three seconds, but it felt like an eternity.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Everyone around me was cheering. I joined them and I didn't think about it that much. On the same month, January 2020, two months before the lockdown hit my country, I returned to the city that I was attending college to do some finals. One evening, after the finals, I felt in the mood for a date. So, I opened my grinder app and found someone that I never had seen before.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Some picks were not that clear, some were blurry, others were taken from odd angles, but I could tell he was my type. We chatted for a bit. After that, he asked me out, so we fixed a date for the very next day. It was a Saturday night, around 10 p.m. I was waiting for him at the place that we would have met at. Soon after he called my number informing he was close, I saw a dark figure approaching me from the other side of the road. I thought, well, that's got to be him,
Starting point is 00:17:48 although it was dark and I couldn't see him very well. As he came closer, the light beam of the lamp post I was standing next to hit him. My date was the guy from the vision. I froze, shivers all over my body. I cannot explain why, but his picks didn't resemble at all the person who, at that moment, stood in front of me. I must have looked shocked. He smiled, gently pressed my shoulder, and asked,
Starting point is 00:18:19 Are you okay? Again? Another shock, deja vu. I came back and we introduced, laughing about that awkward first impression. impression. He surely thought I was struck by his looks. God, what a splendid date we had, too. I'd be quicker if I list the things we didn't talk about. When he drove me back to the dorm I was staying at, he asked if I wanted to join him for dinner at his place the next day. I agreed. The day after, I went to the given address. He welcomed me in and had me put my jacket in the
Starting point is 00:18:57 living room. He told me to join him in the kitchen. so he turned off the light of the living room. So I stood there, in the dark, having another kick-as-te-jave. To make things creepier, he actually peeped out of the kitchen door and laughed thinking I was acting shy. I lived the exact same picture that I saw in my vision. Until nowadays, that has been the best night of my life. I've never felt so close to someone that I barely knew. For the time we used to hang out, I felt a deep and strange connection between us, as if I had known him for an entire lifetime.
Starting point is 00:19:41 We dated for half a year and eventually had to stop seeing each other for some reasons, but that person still holds a special place in my heart. The last New Year's Eve, I was really hoping for another vision, but nothing happened. Strange experience, though, the strangest that has happened to me so far. I originally posted this in dimension jumping, and was advised to post it here. A small treat was stuck in my dog's toy, so as I went to get it out for him, it fell. He has eyes like a hawk and a nose like, well, a dog, so he dived after it, but couldn't find it. Where it fell on the carpet, it wouldn't have bounced, and if it did, I think I would have heard or seen it on the hardwood floor. If it was anywhere in the vicinity, he definitely would have found it.
Starting point is 00:20:49 We just looked all around the area, and it was gone. I had a silly thought that maybe it dropped into another dimension. I just remembered another time this happened a few months ago. I dropped a piercing on the carpet, and I was careful again and didn't move anything, and looked everywhere in the surrounding area, but nothing. Now, I'm not educated on other dimensions or dimension jumping, which I actually never heard of before searching this. I did watch Fringe like a decade ago,
Starting point is 00:21:27 so that likely opened my mind to the thought of this. Now that I'm thinking about it, I do remember two dreams I had that were dimension-related. In the first one, I was walking down a large wooden plank spiral staircase. I dropped my cell phone through the stairs, and I could see it on one of the planks below, so I continued down, but it wasn't there when I got there. Dream me was so sure that my phone fell into another dimension, So I went to a person I know in real life who might know about other dimensions and what to do, and I remember explaining it to him, but I woke up before it resolved.
Starting point is 00:22:12 I remember this dream really jarring me, not in a negative way. I guess it captivated me quite a bit, but I didn't indulge. The dream after that was way more involved. initially I either knowingly or unknowingly went into another dimension and either accidentally or purposefully took some things and brought them back. But then, I realized, somehow, that that was the wrong move, so myself and I think I was with someone else, had to return the items to preserve balance. It was one of those dreams that weirdly felt very real, you know? This one, too, captivated me for days, but I eventually moved on because what's there to do with that feeling. I didn't think I was going to write this much.
Starting point is 00:23:13 I guess my mind is more other-dimension-oriented than I was consciously aware of. Anyways, thank you for reading, and if anyone has any input, please. feel free. I'm not sure if it exactly belongs here, but this happened when my partner was visiting me. He was staying over at my place for a couple of weeks in 2019. We had the lights on, just casually talking, and all of a sudden we forget what happened in that time frame.
Starting point is 00:23:54 We both just woke up. We were shocked how we even both fell asleep at the same time because the lights were on, and we were both just facing the light too, back completely flat on the bed. It was so bright when we both woke up. We were in a really uncomfortable position. He's a taller guy, too, and he had his legs half off the bed and half on the bed. I was in the same position. It was really strange also, since we're both used to staying up since we play games,
Starting point is 00:24:27 but we woke up at around 9 p.m. At this point, I was in college and I didn't have a lot of money, so we didn't really do anything crazy that would have just knocked us out of exhaustion. We're also both introverts, and partying is definitely out of the question. And we're both the type of people who need to have the lights off to even feel tired. We often joke around that the world ended and we just got teleported to a different one, just trying to talk about what actually happened to both of us. It was really strange, and we often talk about it still, even to this day.
Starting point is 00:25:10 But what do you guys think? Have any of you experienced something similar? So that was this week's Glitch in the Matrix collection, and I really hope you all enjoyed it. I know that I did. I really did. This one was good. Um, great collection, and a huge thank you to everyone who lets me use their stories from Reddit,
Starting point is 00:25:37 and a huge thank you to everyone who submits their stories to me. If you have one, please consider submitting it. Go to Astherravendreams.com slash submit. I could really use some subscriber submitted stories. I have a few, but I need more at this point. So thank you, again, to everybody. Yeah, if you really like to hit that thumbs up button, subscribe if you can do to the channel.
Starting point is 00:25:59 You can also leave me a comment with a little known thing called the Word of the Week. Last week's word was inspired. Or inspire, I'm not sure which it was. Doesn't matter. I had three entries, and you three are amazing. As always, you know you guys are amazing. This week, the word of the week, is trivial. T-R-I-V-I-A-L, which means of little significance or value.
Starting point is 00:26:33 concerned with or involving unimportant matters superficial. In other words, something of little meaning, sort of like it may sometimes feel like your efforts in life are trivial, but I guarantee you. You work harder than you know, you're worth more than you know, and you're doing better than you know.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Keep at it. Never give up. Remember you're loved, you're important, and you matter. And of course, sleep well.
