Shadow people. Ghost visits. Liminal spaces. Reality glitches. If you love true “Glitch in the Matrix” + paranormal stories, this episode is stacked with experiences that feel impossible - yet the storytellers swear they happened.

We dive into the unsettling feeling that reality “reset” years ago, car-accident stories that changed everything, a ghost visit, a shadow person encounter at the cottage, and multiple listener stories that sound like timeline slips.

You’ll hear:

1. Reality-shift / “timeline glitch” moments
2. A ghost visit that doesn’t add up
3. Shadow person at the cottage
4. Listener stories with eerie “someone was here” energy
5. Strange auditory glitches that still don’t make sense

If you’re into the overlap between paranormal experiences, memory slips, and liminal-space vibes - this one’s for you.

This is a solo, story-forward episode of Overheard Online.

In this installment, I take you through a long chain of firsthand accounts where reality seems to momentarily lose its footing - quietly, briefly, and without explanation. There’s no debate panel, no interviews, and no theories layered on top. Just the stories themselves, told as they were experienced and written.

Across these accounts, objects duplicate and vanish. Cars disappear mid-drive. Roads reset, exits repeat, and familiar routes lead somewhere else entirely. Time compresses, stretches, or drops out altogether. People freeze mid-movement. Faces and bodies appear pixelated or translucent. Sounds distort. Voices come through radios that shouldn’t be transmitting anything at all.

Some moments are witnessed by multiple people. Others are noticed by only one person in the room - sometimes becoming stranger when no one else seems to see what they saw.

The episode also moves through near-death experiences, altered states, and moments where consciousness appears to separate, expand, or observe from outside the body, raising the same recurring question: are these glitches external, internal, or something happening in the overlap between the two?

As always, these stories aren’t presented as proof or explanation. They’re shared exactly as they were lived - and exactly as they continue to linger with the people who experienced them.

What happens when you mix alcohol, the holidays, and reality glitches?

In this drinking game episode, Erin is joined by her friend Ariana as they read and react to some of the strangest Glitch in the Matrix stories ever shared - from Christmas decorations that defy physics, to phone calls that seem to come from another timeline, to moments of intuition that arrive a little too perfectly.

As the drinks flow, so do the theories. Are these harmless coincidences? Timeline overlaps? Consciousness misfires? Or brief moments where reality glitches and something else slips through?

1. A Christmas ribbon that appears to pass through solid plastic
2. A doppelgänger phone call overheard in real time
3. A neighborhood that doesn’t look the same twice
4. A late-night instinct that exposed a betrayal

This episode is equal parts fun, unsettling, and “wait… what?” - so grab a drink, play along at home, and decide for yourself whether these stories are just strange coincidences… or evidence that reality isn’t as stable as we think.

🍷 Yes, alcohol was involved.

🚫 No, that does not explain everything.

1. If something used to be one thing and turns into something else → BOTH drink
2. An object appearing or returning itself to you → BOTH drink
3. Item duplicates → BOTH drink
4. A Christmas miracle → BOTH drink
5. There’s a witness to the glitch → BOTH take a mini shot
6. Vanishing person → BOTH finish your drink
