    When Home Doesn’t Remember You — The Time Slip of Carol Chase McElheney

    She went home — except the town she arrived in didn’t recognize her. In 2006, Carol Chase McElheney took a familiar exit off the 215 freeway in Southern California. She was heading home — except when she arrived, Riverside didn’t recognize her. The streets were wrong. Her grandmother’s house was gone. The cemetery where generations of her family were buried stood sealed and overgrown, as if it had been abandoned for decades. Everything looked familiar, but felt hollow, like a place copied from memory instead of reality. In this episode of Time Slipped, we explore the unsettling story of a woman who briefly slipped into a version of her hometown that no longer remembered her. Why do time slips so often involve places we love? Why do people hesitate to document these moments? And what does it mean when the one place meant to anchor us feels erased? From thin places and phantom settlements to parallel timelines, perception glitches, and the quiet danger of nostalgia, this story asks a haunting question: What if home only exists as long as it remembers you back? 🎙️ New episodes every week.

    The Future Went Silent: Project Looking Glass

    What if the future didn’t disappear — it just stopped cooperating? In this episode of Time Slipped, we dive into one of the strangest modern conspiracy legends to surface online: Project Looking Glass — a rumored intelligence program said to have used advanced pattern recognition to observe future timelines. Not time travel. Not jumping dimensions. But something quieter — and far more unsettling. According to the lore, Project Looking Glass functioned like weather radar for time, mapping probable futures, branching outcomes, and events that seemed to reappear no matter how the variables changed. For a while, the projections held. Predictions aligned. The future behaved. Until it didn’t. Multiple accounts claim the system ran into a hard limit around the year 2012 — a point where forecasts collapsed into static, probabilities refused to stabilize, and the future stopped resolving into anything coherent at all. In this episode, we explore: What Project Looking Glass was said to be — and how it supposedly workedWhy 2012 keeps appearing as a convergence point in the legendThe idea of “constraints” versus predictions — fixed outcomes versus unstable futuresHow this story intersects with Cold War intelligence culture, computer forecasting, and modern mythmakingAnd why a decorated U.S. Army remote viewer reported hitting the same wall — without a machine Project Looking Glass isn’t really a story about secret technology. It’s a story about what happens when prediction stops working. When the future refuses to sit still. And when silence itself becomes an answer. Because maybe the most unsettling possibility isn’t that someone once tried to see the future… It’s that no one — human or machine — could agree on what came next. 🎧 New episodes of Time Slipped explore time anomalies, impossible coincidences, and moments where reality feels slightly misaligned.

    Edgar Allan Poe Wrote This Death Before It Happened

    FICTION → REALITY In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe published a strange and unsettling novel—his only full-length work of fiction. Buried deep within it was a grotesque survival scene: four men adrift at sea, drawing lots to decide who would die… and a victim named Richard Parker. Forty-six years later, in 1884, that exact story unfolded in real life. Four men. A lifeboat. Starvation. A fatal choice. And a real cabin boy—also named Richard Parker. In this episode of Time Slipped, we trace the impossible overlap between Poe’s forgotten novel The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket and one of the most infamous maritime survival cases in history—Regina v. Dudley & Stephens—a trial that still shapes criminal law today. Was this just an extraordinary coincidence? A case of fiction inspiring reality? Or something stranger—an echo in time, a narrative repeating itself with disturbing precision? We explore survival cannibalism, moral collapse at sea, and four theories that attempt to explain how a death could be written decades before it happened. Along the way, we uncover why the name “Richard Parker” keeps resurfacing in maritime lore—including its deliberate resurrection in Life of Pi. This is a story about hunger. About stories that refuse to stay fictional. And about the unsettling possibility that reality sometimes follows a script. Welcome back to Time Slipped— where the past leaves fingerprints on the future. 🎙️ New episodes every week. Keep Time SlippingFollow on TikTok and YouTube @TimeSlippedPodDid time slip on you?

    Déjà Vu Explained: When the Present Doesn’t Feel New

    What if déjà vu isn’t a memory glitch — but a moment where time hesitates? Time Slipped was recently named #2 on FeedSpot’s Top 10 Déjà Vu Podcasts — and in that spirit, this episode dives straight into the phenomenon itself. Most people experience déjà vu at some point in their lives. Usually as a brief flicker — a strange sense that the present has already happened. But what if that feeling isn’t just a passing glitch? What if it’s a moment where time itself feels unreliable? In this episode of Time Slipped, we explore déjà vu from every angle — historical, neurological, psychological, and experiential — to understand how it happens, why it feels so unsettling, and what science can and can’t fully explain. We trace the origins of the term déjà vu, examine why the sensation feels more like recognition than memory, and explore real cases where the present never feels new — including a documented neurological patient who lived in a constant state of familiarity. We also explore: • Why déjà vu often appears under pressure or in high-stakes moments • Why children describe déjà vu differently than adults • A historically documented case that challenges conventional explanations • The difference between déjà vu and precognition • The theory that déjà vu may involve a misalignment in how we experience time Science can explain the mechanism behind déjà vu. What it struggles to explain is the feeling it leaves behind — the sense that the present arrived already marked. If the past and future are more flexible than we assume… what does that mean for now? This is Time Slipped — where the present doesn’t always arrive clean. 🎙️ New episodes every week. Keep Time SlippingFollow on TikTok and YouTube @TimeSlippedPodDid time slip on you?
