    21: 24 Minutes Missing, the Room That Was Breathing & Duplicating Objects | Glitch in the Matrix Stories

    What happens when 24 minutes disappear, breathing in a dark bedroom stops the moment the light comes on, and ordinary objects begin duplicating themselves? Erin Michelle and returning guest Chelsea read and react to unsettling Glitch in the Matrix stories, then share paranormal experiences of their own. They follow a driver into a suddenly unfamiliar version of a familiar town, examine a mysterious white flash followed by missing time, revisit Chelsea’s white-out at a waterfall, and enter an impossible hospital room. The stories continue with unexplained breathing in the dark, ghostly figures seen inside Chelsea’s house, an impossible staircase, and shoes and a bandana that appear to duplicate. Along the way, Erin and Chelsea explore time slips, missing time, alternate realities, simulation theory, memory glitches, sleep paralysis, ghost encounters, and the possibility that reality is less stable than it seems.

    20: We Died in a Car Crash, Then Reality Reset | Glitch in the Matrix Stories

    What if you died in a car crash, then woke up earlier that same day with a chance to change what happened? In Episode 20 of Overheard Online, Erin is joined by her longtime friend Diana to explore unsettling glitch in the matrix stories involving reality resets, near-death experiences, shared dreams, time slips, doppelgängers and encounters that do not fit neatly into one timeline. The episode begins with the story of two friends who remember dying in a car crash before suddenly finding themselves back at the beginning of the night. From there, Erin and Diana examine whether the experience could be explained by quantum immortality, a premonition, an altered state or a glimpse into another version of reality. They also discuss stories about a man receiving a second chance after death, a former neighbour repeatedly seeing someone who no longer lives nearby, a teenager apparently meeting his friend decades in the future, a real-life stick figure crossing the road, the same mysterious old man appearing everywhere and a childhood playground containing a place that seemingly should not have existed. Along the way, the conversation explores lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, collective consciousness, intuition, eternalism, simulation theory and whether the body can recognize information before the conscious mind understands it. In this episode: Two friends die in a car crash, then experience the day againQuantum immortality and reality-reset theoriesPremonitions and stories that seemingly predict real eventsLucid dreams, out-of-body experiences and altered statesCollective consciousness and unexplained creative downloadsA man who believes he died and received a second chanceA neighbour who still sees someone walking with their deceased dogA teenager who may have met his friend 24 years in the futureA real-life stick man sightingAliens, collective memory and former Canadian official Paul HellyerThe same mysterious old man appearing everywhereA secret childhood playground that disappeared No forced conclusions.

    19: Gas Stations, Ghost Cars & The Glitch That Lasted an Hour | Glitch in the Matrix Stories

    Something is wrong with the road tonight. A woman drives somewhere on Christmas night and her Google Maps says she never left home. Another stops at a gas station in Ohio at 2am - the cashier already knows her cigarette brand - and that station still hasn't opened yet. Seven friends stop for gas on a birthday road trip. They drive away as six. Nobody can remember who was missing. This week on Overheard Online, we're reading the stories people post at 2am when something happened to them that they still can't explain. In this episode: a Christmas night highway glitch and a Google Maps history rewrite, a gas station from the future, a seventh friend erased from reality at a creepy roadside stop, a beach café that has never existed, a woman who watched herself die at a stoplight, ghost cars on the highway, a coworker seen in two places at once, a doppelganger that walked like a robot, a tiger that became a stuffed animal, and a cinema that forgot to load. Plus - a deep dive into one r/Paranormal thread where thousands of people answered: "What's the creepiest glitch in the matrix that's ever happened to you?" Overheard Online is the podcast for real Reddit stories about glitches in the matrix, near-death experiences, time slips, doppelgangers, and things that can't be explained. New episodes weekly.

    17: Time Slips, Vanishing Cars & Reality Not Rendering || Glitch in the Matrix Stories

    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. 🌀 Have a glitch, NDE, or unexplained story of your own?

    14: Drunk in the Matrix: The Ultimate Glitch in the Matrix Drinking Game || Reddit Glitch in the Matrix Stories

    For today's episode, we did something deeply unwise… We turned the Glitch in the Matrix stories into a drinking game, and the universe absolutely punished us for it. In this chaotic After Dark episode of Overheard Online, Erin & Sara read some of Reddit’s weirdest, most mind-bending stories - from time slips and Mandela-effect moments to doppelgängers, shadow figures, parallel lives, and full-on reality breaks - while following a set of rules that guaranteed instant disaster. Every time a time slip, a doppelgänger, or shadow figures is mentioned, they both drink. If someone describes seeing a light, floating, or a tunnel, they drink. Any time theres a tech issue, anyone doubts a story, they have goosebumps, they both drink... Spoiler: it escalates FAST. 🥂 OFFICIAL DRINKING GAME RULES:Time Slip → BOTH drinkDoppelgänger → BIG sip waterfall“I have chills” / “I have goosebumps” → That person drinksErin mentions aphantasia → Erin drinksSara mentions her boyfriend → Sara drinksExpressing doubt → drinkTech glitch → BOTH drink waterfallLight / tunnel / floating mentioned → BOTH drinkShadow figures / silhouettes → BIG sip waterfallFeeling peaceful while dying → Sara drinksInterrupting the story → both drink …We told you it was a disaster. 👁️‍🗨️ WHAT TO EXPECT:unhinged laughterglitchy existential fearchaotic storytellingErin malfunctioning on cameraSara losing the plotway too many waterfallstheories, overanalysis, and bad scienceand somehow… heart-to-heart moments too If you love Reddit stories, paranormal glitches, reaction chaos, and gin-fueled philosophy, this one is for you.
