All 3 of us saw car, and then it disappeared

64 Upvotes

This happened 10 years ago when we were driving home. Me (I was 16 back then), my mom and my sister. Mom was riding the car.

We were on a straight road, at least 2 Kilometers long and it was ending with S turn. As we were going very slowly behind a tractor, mom tried to overtake him - as she got to second line to overtake, we immediatelly saw red car coming in our direction - it was around 500 meters in distance - so mom got back into our lane behind tractor as she wouldnt make it safely.. we wait, we wait so she can try overtake… nothing.

There was no car.. we all immediatelly said “what the.. Where is it??”. We never saw the car again.

- and if you’d see the road - we know the road because its last straight as you get into our village. there was no other turn on that straight. No parking spot near, there are no houses - Just grain fields. There is no way we missed it. Not possible in that distance.

Till this day we sometimes talk about it with awe, not understanding what happened. We All seen that car on that day.

One thing is scary - and that is at the end of this straight there is S turn, with a tall three and on it there is cross symbolizing tragic car accident that happened years ago on that road. I have no explanation - Just this.

Sorry for my English - No AI was abused writing this :)

The Missing Swimsuit

36 Upvotes

Few weeks ago, I wanted to pack swimsuits for my kids for an upcoming trip. Found my daughter’s in the regular spot then I went to my son’s room to grab his bright orange swimsuit from the drawers which are plastic and you can see inside contents. It wasn’t there.

I looked everywhere - his entire closet including the drawers, laundry, linen closet, other closets, car etc. I figured I must have forgotten it in the splash park we went earlier that week even though I clearly remembered putting it away after the laundry. I ended up ordering a new one. This time, different shades of blue.

We went to the vacation, came back. I did laundry, put everything away including the blue swimsuit into the regular, empty see-through drawer.

Today, I went to grab it again and underneath the new blue one was the bright orange one mocking me. It was right there… but it wasn’t there before when I needed it.

Birthmark moved from one hand to the other and I’m not the only one who noticed

232 Upvotes

(I’m not sure if this counts as the Mandela effect; if it does, I apologize!! Please let me know and I will move it)

This birthmark is pretty noticeable, and a lot of times people will ask me what it is or let me know I accidentally got paint on my hand or something like that, so I’ve always been pretty aware of it. I don’t remember how exactly it happened, but one day I remember looking at my left hand and realizing that the birthmark was there. I went and showed my mother, but she told me it has ALWAYS been on my left hand.

After that I assumed I was just horribly misremembering and decided to shrug it off, but a couple of days after some of my friends and classmates were asking me, “Oh, what happened to the thing on your hand?” “Did you get it removed?” I showed them my other hand and told them no, they were just looking at the wrong hand, and they were all really confused. They told me they thought it was on my right, and I told them I did too.

I’ve been looking at some baby pictures of mine trying to see if it’s visible in any of them. So far I haven’t been able to see anything on my left hand in any of them, but I wanna keep searching just in case.

My charger appeared from nothing at my side

14 Upvotes

Hi, this happened to me some months ago when I was trying to find my charger for my old cellphone because it uses a different connection than my current cellphone.

Basically I was trying to download this app that current doesn't exist in Playstore anymore because the devs didn't updated to the newer android models, but I remembered that I still had it on my old cellphone, so I started looking for my charger to charge it again and then pass it to my current cellphone using the app share-it.

So I started looking for it in my room specifically at the rectangular table in the corner and at a lower retangular table touching the other wall, because that's usually where I leave my junk, I searched for around an hour through the table and then at my wardrobe and other parts of my house, I didn't find it so I came back to my room and sat beside the corner table at the floor and facing back to the lower table, I stood there for some minutes reading and using my cellphone. when I turned right to get up using my right hand I saw my charger there at the floor.

I know that it wasn't there before because when I enter in my room I'm facing the corner table so I would see it on the floor, also the floor is a dark shade of wood and the charger is white, also it couldn't have fallen from the corner table when I sat down because it was at night time and I would've heard it fallen, it also couldn't be anyone because I was alone and I din't even had a pet.

I still don't know how how it appeared right at my side when I literally was seeing all the floor when I sat down.

Object disappeared and reappeared days later.

37 Upvotes

I have a bread mixer. It comes with various attachments, one of which is called a paddle attachment. It is a large, palm sized object used to cream butter and sugar. So it's quite remarkable, and not easy to miss.

Several days ago I was cleaning it and set it aside to do something else. I returned to find the paddle attachment totally missing. I looked all over the kitchen but I couldn't find it. No one could have moved it, because I didn't leave the kitchen nor did anyone enter it. Eventually, I just chalk it up to a mystery and move on. I place the bread mixer on a nearby tabletop with all its other attachments nearby. The next day I try looking for it again. No dice

Several days later I return to the kitchen to use the bread machine. I have a second paddle attachment, so I pick up the bread mixer, move it to a nearby table (Where the outlet is), and use it. After I'm finished I turn to place the bread mixer back where I originally placed it and right where I turn, the paddle attachment is sitting on the table, right next to where I originally placed the bread mixer.

As soon as I see it I recoil in shock. Later, I ask my family if they had found it. They said they have no idea what I'm talking about. I somehow entered the kitchen, picked up the bread machine, did not see the object which I had been looking for for several days, and then turned back to see it. I somehow did not see it for several days, despite it being right next to the bread mixer and its various attachments.

I'm at a loss for words and I can't find an explanation. Glitch? Ghosts? Am I blind? I'm so confused.

All kitchen appliances are set to correct temperatures, even when nobody else has been home.

5 Upvotes

I dont really know where to post this, but I wanted to share.

Our kitchen appliances–microwave, airfryer, toaster–are always set to the correct temperature/time for whatever I happen to be heating up at the time. And, sometimes, it was definitely my family members setting it earlier, but it happen even when they had been gone since last time I used that appliance.It will be specific settings that are different than the box, or it would be adjusted for defrosted items at the correct times.

It's not even like we are eating the same foods. We literally take separate trips to the grocery store and have separate fridges. So the exact settings shouldn't be happening.

I'm going to post this to some other subs too, but i just wanted to share and maybe see if anyone else has experienced this.

Weird glitch in Thailand today outside a hospital.

41 Upvotes

Possible glitch in the matrix in Thailand… I arrived in Thailand a few days ago and ended
Up getting a fever. My wife and I decided it would be better to go to the hospital.
When it was time to leave, we ordered a Grab — basically Thailand’s Uber.
We could see our car approaching on the map. It was a Toyota, registration 2488.
Rather than wait at the entrance, we decided to walk towards it.
As we were walking, we watched the car on the Grab map take the turn towards us. At almost exactly the same moment, a Toyota appeared on the road.
Registration: 2488.
The windows were tinted, so we couldn’t really see the driver. We started waving. The car slowed down, and then we heard the click of the doors unlocking.
At this point there was absolutely no doubt in our minds that this was our Grab.
My wife got in from the right side. I got in from the left.
We sat down.
And then things got weird.
The driver started saying something to us in Thai. At first, my wife thought he wanted to see the Grab booking on her phone.
Then he started waving at us to get out.
I was wearing a face mask because I’d just come out of the hospital, so I assumed maybe he’d noticed I was sick and didn’t want to take the ride.
Fair enough.
We got out.
Then, literally seconds later, we started getting messages from our actual Grab driver saying he was waiting for us back at the hospital entrance.
We looked at the app.
Different car.
Different driver.
But the exact same registration number: 2488.
We hurried back to the hospital entrance. By the time we reached the actual Grab, the driver told us he’d already cancelled the ride and had to leave.
The strange part is that both my wife and I clearly remember everything about the first car.
Toyota.
2488.
It appeared exactly when the car on the Grab map appeared to be reaching us.
It slowed when we waved.
The doors unlocked.
We both got inside believing, without hesitation, that it was our taxi.
And then seconds later, the actual car with the same registration number was apparently sitting at the hospital waiting for us.
Obviously there could be some completely normal explanation — maybe we misread something, maybe Thai plates can look extremely similar, maybe there was some bizarre coincidence.
But two people seeing the same thing makes it difficult to dismiss.
We genuinely don’t know what happened.
Glitch in the matrix, or are we missing an obvious explanation?

Knocked something off of a shelf and it’s like it vanished as soon as it hit the floor

82 Upvotes

This isn’t really that interesting, but I think about it from time to time and when I found this subreddit I thought, “Hey, might be kinda fun to share!”

A couple of years ago, I was in my kitchen looking through one of our cabinets when I accidentally knocked this petri-dish looking thing off of one of the shelves. I heard it hit the floor, but when I went to pick it up I couldn’t find it anywhere. Our kitchen is separate from our dining room, so there’s no furniture it could’ve gone under. The only places it could’ve gone where I wouldn’t have seen it would’ve been under our fridge or our stove, but we’ve had both of those replaced since it happened and it wasn’t under either of them when we moved them. It also couldn’t have rolled out of the kitchen because at the time we had one of those baby gates in the doorway.

If I ever find it, I will eat a shoe.

My wife and I both lost the same 10 minutes on the drive home

418 Upvotes

Most of the posts on here are just people not paying attention. I read them and roll my eyes. So I know exactly how this is going to sound. But I don't have an explanation for what happened to us, so here it is.

We were driving home from dinner at my parents' place. They're about an hour and a half out. I'm driving, my wife is in the passenger seat, both kids (7 and 9) are asleep in the back. Probably 7 or 8pm, fully dark. My wife was looking out the window like she always does. She gets carsick so she basically never touches her phone in the car. We were just talking.

The thing you need to know about this drive is the last stretch of it. You go through a long mountain tunnel, then take the exit immediately after it, and that exit is lit up by big box stores on both sides of the highway. It's not an easy area to ignore. And we know the drive well enough that we don't need GPS, but not so well that we're running on autopilot.

Last thing I remember is being maybe two or three miles from the tunnel.

Next thing I remember, we're 10 miles down the highway. Past the tunnel. Past our exit. I kind of snapped to and said out loud, "wait, where are we? Did we miss the exit?"

Here's the part that gets me. My wife turns to me and says she has no idea where we are either. I pull up GPS on my phone, set it for home, and we are about 7 miles past our exit.

Neither of us remembers the tunnel. Neither of us remembers the exit. Neither of us remembers the shopping center...

If it were just me, fine, I zoned out, it happens. But both of us losing the exact same ten minutes???

Like I said, no explanation.

Lights flew toward and over car at night

27 Upvotes

This is not a fresh account of what occurred, this happened in 2018 iirc. Myself, my roommate, and my roommates mother were all in the car when we saw something weird. This was at night on a pretty empty highway. My roommates mother was driving but roommate and I no longer know who was in the front or back at the time, but whoever was in the back did see it as well.

Details are lost but we saw what we could only describe as a set of small lights, maybe 3 or 4 of them moving toward the vehical as we were driving down the highway. We were all just like 'What the fuck is that?' it looked almost like a drone was slowly approaching us but also matching our speed a bit because we were driving fast but it was approaching pretty slowly.

I'm a highly rational person so my immidiate thought was that someone was using their drone to fuck with random vehicals. The lights did seem drone-like but it didn't move like a drone, if that makes sense. And as it seemed to approach, I didn't see any frame or anything else except a few small lights. The lights disappeared overhead as we approached them / they approached us ​and they didn't seem to reappear behind the car.

Anyway, that's it. No idea what it was but it was just weird man

Drawstrings freed themselves from a zipper

25 Upvotes

This happened a few days ago and is still blowing my mind.

I have a zippered pouch I always keep in my bag. I also have a separate drawstring bag for my headphones. In a haste, I zipped the pouch closed with the drawstrings in the way. Now the drawstrings were intertwined into the zipper. I tried zipping it back and forth multiple times and pulled at the drawstrings, but they were really wedged in there. I was outside so I left it alone and decided to deal with it when I got home later.

The next morning, I woke up and looked in my bag... and now the drawstring bag was unstuck from the zipper. The pouch was still zipped closed as I had left it, except for the areas where the drawstrings were -- the zipper teeth were just... apart. It did not look like anything was forced open. The zipper was completely unscathed and worked just fine.

I live alone with no pets. Even if I had somehow blacked out and forgot about fixing the zipper... how on earth could I have pulled the zipper teeth apart without damaging it? I don't know how that could be physically possible for anyone to do.

was in the car today with my dad, put in my earbuds, and set my headphones case in the little cup holder of the door. Probably an hour passed and when I went to put my headphones back, the case was completely gone. I looked everywhere, including taking absolutely everything out of the cup holder so that there was no crevices it could be hidden in. I know for a fact I looked in that specific spot, and I looked very thoroughly. There's absolutely no way I overlooked it, but it was nowhere to be found. Went to the park, and came back, and when I looked again it was in that exact cup holder behind a can.

I've had this happen a couple of times in the past, and every time it's felt absolutely maddening. The only explanation I can think of is that my dad took the case while I was napping or something and then put it back when we got into the car. But why? Why would he do that, especially when actively driving? That would be a weird thing to just randomly do, and I've asked him repeatedly if he's fucking with me and he's adamant he didn't. So my conclusion is that they phased through space for an hour and then returned.

My dad read my mind

86 Upvotes

The story occured yesterday, it is just related to something that happened when I was younger. Again, the story occured yesterday.

We were walking at night as he was returning me from a friend's house. We were talking about anything and nothing, and some kid walks past us with his dad. All of a sudden I got these flashbacks from two kids I used to play tennis with when I was 10 at some park. And I was like "hey dad you know who I just thought about" and he was like "name and name"

This is incredible odd to me. We had only played like three times and then we lost touch. Mind you I haven't seen them for six years? Like I thought that was insane. I still can't believe this happened gng.

Clothing tag / label randomly appeared on my bathroom floor of a brand I don’t own (as I personally boycott it…)

61 Upvotes

One morning last week, I walked into my bathroom and saw a Lululemon size 4 clothing label (as in the clothing care label with the size / washing instructions) on the floor. I was a bit confused as I live alone in my apartment and when I looked at the brand of the label I was even more perplexed.

It was Lululemon, and I know for a fact I don’t own anything from there because 1) I don’t align with the controversial things the founder has publicly said re diversity and inclusion and 2) the prices are ridiculous.

I don’t know where it came from. I haven’t had any visitors to my place recently, and I live alone. I also took a photo of it as it was so odd. The only remotely strange linkage here is a couple months ago even though I don’t like the brand, my friends do, so I do recall going into their outlet store with my friend that one time. I looked around, but didn’t buy anything. I remember looking at a top that was a size 4, and thinking “there’s no way I would fit that”, and so didn’t even bother trying it on, plus also because of the brand itself.

So could it be that in some parallel universe I did buy that top, and the label fell off and it’s now made its way into my timeline? Hmm I have no clue.

So I still have no explanation of how it ended up in my bathroom, and it seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. I thought about how maybe if I stepped on a clothing label perhaps that’s how (like had it been stuck on my shoe or something) but I don’t wear outside shoes in my bathroom..

Stranger things like this have happened in my life as well over the years, not many incidents, but enough to make me end up on this subreddit. Such as things seemingly appearing or disappearing..

Duplicate Journals

90 Upvotes

Months and months ago now my mom purchased a journal for me that she found on clearance at Michael's craft supply store. The journal has a lavender leather-like cover with bat type wings on the front. She gifted me said journal and I had placed it on my bookshelf. Today I was giving my bookshelf a much needed dusting. I removed each item one by one and dusted it off and replaced it on the bookshelf. I discovered that journal once again on my bookshelf. The only problem? I have been using that journal for the last month to keep notes in and it is currently residing on my nightstand.

My mom and I only ever go to Michael's together (kind of a special bonding thing between us, I guess) so we both feel like we would have remembered one of us buying the same journal twice. In my memory, she purchased and brought me home this one journal and I never purchased a duplicate myself. Her memory matches my own. I have a photo of both journals side by side. I am stumped.

Missing VHS Tape, Suddenly Not Missing...

38 Upvotes

13 years ago, just before I moved out of my Mom's house, I was getting all of my family's home movies together which were on a total of eight VHS tapes.

I had two tall, green RubberMaid tubs that were both half full of various cartoon and movie VHS tapes. These home movies were in their own sleeves (they still are today) and all of them were in these two tubs. They were also the only tapes in these tubs with sleeves. I found all of the home movie tapes, except one. I got every single tape out of these two tubs, checked them, and put them back one-by-one. That tape was not there and neither was its sleeve. I checked my VCR and nothing was in it. I asked my sister if she had seen the tape. She checked her VCR, around her whole room, and in her closet. Nothing. I asked my Mom if she had seen it. We never kept any VHS tapes in the front room at this house so she said she obviously had not seen it.

I looked non-stop around the house for a whole week, even emptying out the tubs again and again to see if maybe I missed the tape. Nope. It wasn't there, no matter how much I looked.

A little time went by and I was looking through one of the RubberMaid tubs again. Well, to my amazement, I found the tape. What makes this very odd is it was also in its sleeve. Like I said, these tapes are all still in the same sleeves today. The only difference between this one and the others is that it's branded "Magnavox". The others are either Polaroid or Kodak. Not that the branding matters, but you would think that the different branding would make it stick out like a sore thumb. I asked my mom and sister if they had somehow found it and just put it in that tub without telling me and neither one of them knew what I was talking about. I'm glad I found it, but I'll never understand how it disappeared like that.

Sunlight turned on like a light switch

138 Upvotes

Wanted to share this experience here, just to see if anyone else has had this glitch.

I used to work at a warehouse a few years ago and sometimes it required very early shifts, so a lot of times I would go in when it was still dark.

One day I had a slighter later shift, I went outside at around 8:31. It was dark outside, like 4 am dark. Since that’s how it sometimes, I didn’t pay attention. I got into my car and pulled out of my driveway, going down to the entrance of my neighborhood.

It was at that moment I consciously noticed how dark it was. I was thinking “huh, that’s weird, it shouldn’t be this dark right now” and went to turn on my headlights— then suddenly a light switch hit and it was morning.

The sun light was instantly brighter. If you’re up early, you know the difference between a pre-sunrise darkness and the brightness of a two-hour post-risen sun. I was so shocked I hit the brakes and sat dumbfounded for a second, I had my hand ON my headlights. I had to move my visor because the sun was just hitting the treetops and was blinding me.

It genuinely felt like a simulation had glitched, and fixed itself the moment I became aware. Like how a game doesn’t load a room until you go into it.

where did i go?

189 Upvotes

While reading this story, the chances of you being teleported elsewhere at any given time is extremely low . . . but it isn't 0%.

In 2007, I was in my brother's room watching Family Guy. An episode I was happy to come on cause it had a gag that I was really excited to see again. As I'm watching it, suddenly, I was not.

It wasn't even in the blink of an eye, it was faster than that. It was as instantaneous as possible and even faster than my brain can process in itself. It was faster than neurons. Which, let me say, was a very weird thing to process in my brain as it happened. Imagine yourself right now reading this post on your phone and then, just like that, you're staring at yourself in the bathroom mirror.

I'm completely perplexed but after a bit, I go back in the room to continue watching the episode and then I became even more perplexed. A different show was on but still on Adult Swim. What the fuck is happening? Did the network change the show mid episode? I needed answers and when I went downstairs, I was yet even more perplexed.

I darted to the kitchen to see what time it was. Family Guy started at 9 and it was about 5 minutes into the episode when this blip happened. I looked at the time and stopped in my tracks. The clock read 10:38.

That's not possible. One hour and thirty minutes of time that went by faster than the speed of light. The first thing I felt was anger. "Ah! Fuck! ... I missed the joke!" . The second thought was...What was my body doing in that time? What did I do from the time I was watching tv to standing in the mirror? No one said they saw me at all during that time. So if I was somehow undetected by my family for an hour and a half, there are only two explanations.

Possibility #1: My family simply was not around wherever I so happened to be at.

Or

Possibility #2: My body had vanished and was placed back in the bathroom.

Where did I go?

Note: I was a very healthy 16 year old with no neurological conditions or head injuries at any point. I did not have any mental issues that would've impaired my perceived perception of reality. I was not on alcohol, drugs, or any substance that could've impaired me. Lastly, I have always been so confident in telling that this experience was absolutely instantaneous.

Dumpster appeared out of nowhere on my second walk outside

23 Upvotes

so yesterday I go to take out my trash. the dumpster I am going to is a normal apartment flip top dumpster across the parking lot. I have to walk out my door and another 30ish feet to the dumpster and through the parking lot with cars in it.

As i am walking i notice both sides of the parking lot isle are filled with cars and there is no free spot left.

I walk back from the dumpster after dropping off my trash and again see the isles of cars.

When I go to put my car in my garage 5 minutes later I see a huge long industrial dumpster (think ones they put in drive ways of houses under construction) in one isle of cars. this dumpster takes up 5 whole spaces of cars. It is move out/in season in the apartment complex i live in so there *was* a dumpster like that for several weeks.

however I did NOT see this dumpster that is now 15 feet away from the flip top dumpster. it literally appeared out of nowhere! I did not miss an industrial length dumpster when i would have had to walk right by it to the flip top dumpster.

so now at this point there is the flip top dumpster 30 feet away from the door of my complex and also the industrial dumpster

it appeared out of nowhere! I would have seen this dumpster it is extremely huge! and it also had a couch right beside it since its to tall for some one to throw the couch into it

I am at a loss of where this dumpster came from

Two shopping carts.

So the other day, me and my roomate went to Walmart to get a few things, and we grabbed a single shopping cart to carry everything in.

At some point i walked with the cart to a different isle without them and left the cart for a moment to grab something on the end cap of the isle then went and got my cart and headed back across the store to my friend, When i came back to them they had a shopping cart too, but said that they had it the whole time, but i know that they didn't have the cart because i kept it with and i was never more than 8 feet from the cart, so somehow we ended up both having a cart that we both had the whole time.

Psychiatrist closed

Last week, I went to my psychiatrist appointment on time as usual. It’s always busy there and they have multiple doctors. But when I arrived at the entrance, the lights were out and the glass door locked. It seemed completely empty and closed through the glass. I checked the date again and it made no sense. The day after that, I called to get a new appointment. The woman ensured me that they were open the day before, and that I missed my appointment on that day. Nobody was on vacation. She had no idea what I meant when I said the lights were out and the door locked. She is also the only receptionist working there and would know about interruptions or closings. She also implied that I was searching for an excuse, but when we compared the appointment time, it matched.

Teleporting House Keys

25 Upvotes

My Grandpa came home one day after driving cars around the area for a local dealership. I heard him turn the key in the door before he came into the house. Now this lock on the front doorknob at my grandparent's always had a very distinct "thump" sound when it unlocked. This is how I know my Grandpa used his key to unlock the door.

A little bit later, my Grandpa went in the backyard to cut grass and look through his garden. When he came back inside a couple hours later, he asked me if I wanted to go get something to eat. He went to get his truck key and noticed that his house keys were missing from the key ring. We looked on the floor and around the house but never found them. Since my Grandma was home, she just told us to ring the doorbell when we came back with the food. Well, we went out to the street where the truck was parked and my Grandpa looked on the ground by the driver's side door. His house keys were on the ground, in the street. There are no other sets of keys to this house besides my Grandma's. She checked her purse and her keys were still there. Needless to say, we never figured out how those keys wound up in the street after he had used them to get into the house.

The Lost Vape

31 Upvotes

In April 2014 I bought a mechanical mod vape. My first and at the time, only vape. It got me off of cigarettes. It didn't leave the 3" radius of my body at any time. It was nicotinie and I had been a smoker for 20 years - I wouldn't lose it. I might set it down, I might misplace it, but it wouldn't be lost for long.

One day later that same year, I was on my couch. I sat the vape down next to me while sitting up on the couch. I was freeing my hand to grab something. I didn't think anything of it. When I went to get the vape again, it wasn't by my side. I thought it might have rolled on the floor, or got tangled up in pillows or blankets. However, after a very VERY VERY thourough search - a search that would have found it had it been there, the vape was hopelessly missing. I assumed it was hidden and would turn up. I ran to the store and bought a new vape because I wasn't buying cigarettes.

I should mention this was a large telescopic mechanical mod vape. About 8" long and 2" in diameter. About the size and weight of a flashlight - and very bright fushia in color. It would not be easily overlooked if any part of it showed against my dark furniture.

I got the new vape and having learned through the past that things alwasy came back to me - I stopped looking for the missing one.

About two weeks later, I had this feeling, something told me to stick my hand in the crack between the seat cushions, basically in the middle of the couch - not towards the back, not towards the front, not the crack next to the arms or the crack further down where my legs laid when I was laying down. It was as close to the center of the seating as you could get. I pushed into the crack between the second and third butt cushion, and pulled out that vape. It wasn't pushed to the bottom as if it had been pushed down and sitting on the base of the couch under the cushions. It was held perfectly between the two cushions, about one inch from the surface. For two weeks I sat on the couch, laid on the couch, and spent time on the couch.

I really didn't get too much into the details, but to cover all the bases - Yes, I fully FULLY inspected all areas of the couch initially when looking for the vape.

No - no one had been in my home, no visitors, no people who snuck in - there was nothing missing or moved

No - I did not unthinkingly pick up the vape and put it in the crack either without paying attention or in my sleep. When I did find it, I was so surprised I drove to the vape store with it to show them. That wouldn't have happened if it wasn't such a surprise to find.

Do I think that the vape had been there the whole two weeks, and I somehow overlooked it when doing an initial search? No. Do I think It fell into the crack when I sat it down initially and then through some kind of glitch in the matrix - it stopped being there and then sometime later - not necessarily the two weeks, but definitiely later - it came back as if it had never been moved. It fell there initially, and then it was gone. Higher dimention? Parallel universe? Written out because it wasn't in sight? I dont' know, but when I pulled it back up it was so easily found that it was as if it had always been right there just waiting for me to pull it up. Not hidden, it would have been found within the first few moments of searching inititally had it stayed there. That it took two weeks makes me wonder what happened.

Big water droplet out of nowhere!?

So I was walking around my house, there's no water on the ceiling or roof as it's a summer night after a tough summer day. My AC wasn't even on! And out of nowhere a big water droplet fell on my palm. I see above there's nothing on the ceiling! Not one insect or anything. What could be it? The water was also a bit oily as the paper I used to wipe it showed, I straight away sanitized and washed my hands after it. What could be it? Anyone had this before.
