30 People Share “Glitch In The Matrix” Stories That Made Them Doubt Their Reality

About 400 years ago, Galileo Galilei helped the general public understand motion by rolling a ball down an inclined plane and swinging a chandelier inside a church. In fact, the controlled experiments that he conducted and the importance he placed on empirical evidence have earned the man the nickname of 'The Father of Modern Science.'

However, even now, after humanity has had so much time to build upon his (and many others') work, we still can't explain plenty of the things that are happening around us. This is extremely evident in one Reddit thread — started by platform user Schofield_Me, it has people sharing the strangest "glitches in the Matrix" they have experienced.

So to show you that everyday life can sometimes seem stranger than fiction, we at Bored Panda have collected some of the creepiest stories we found in this online discussion. I guess nothing gets you into the spooky season like questioning the fabric of reality!

30 People Share "Glitch In The Matrix" Stories That Made Them Doubt Their Reality My mother did all her GYN appointments with a doctor in downtown Austin. He was in the 5th floor of this hospital building and had a long time nurse/receptionist named Alison. I remember attending her appointments when I was little and my mother would make a game out of finding the office and being in the waiting room, which was colorfully decorated with a forest scene.

Alison was a super sweet woman who was half babysitter for us kids, too. She would read us books and give us coloring books and occasionally even listen to our dreadful knock knock jokes. We all referred to her as Alison Wonderland.

Anyway, years down the road, I got married and pregnant and started searching for an OB since I had moved back to Austin relatively recently before that. My mother suggested I go see if that Dr, who was super young(low 30s) when I was born, was still in business.

Well, I could not find his name in the hospital directory, so I figured I would just swing by the office and check. My mother happened to be in town(she had moved years ago) and came with me. We both joked about it being so familiar but reversed situations now.

As we reach the stairs, we ran into a problem. There was no fifth floor of this hospital office building. Odd. We both must have misremembered it. We knew it was on the top floor, so it must have been the fourth. Nope, not there.

We thought maybe we were in the wrong building. Except we parked in the same parking garage thing from 20 years ago and walked the same route.

That Dr does not exist. Never did, apparently. My mother and my brother and I are the only ones who remember him and Allison Wonderland. We have asked around, including among the hospital staff. We even looked up our birth certificates which are new copies and just list "Attending physician". One of my childhood memories is fake but shared with my brother and my Mother.
