30 Creepy Things That Might Prove This Life Is A Simulation

Fact is often weirder than fiction. This isn’t just a fancy phrase, though! If you look at science, history, and even at our personal experiences, you’ll realize that the world can be a truly bizarre place at times. So much so that anyone who’s a fan of ‘The Matrix’ might wonder whether what we see is, in fact, reality.
Inspired by user u/DawsonD43, the members of the r/AskReddit group started a lively discussion where they shared some of the top spooky indicators that we might be living inside a computer simulation. We’ve collected some of their most interesting ‘proof’ to share with you. Scroll down to check it out! And if you get an overwhelming feeling of déjà vu, don’t panic—an Agent will soon be with you.
We reached out to the author, u/DawsonD43, who was kind enough to share their thoughts on simulations and how our lives would change if we were actually in one. Be sure not to miss Bored Panda's interview with them!

30 Creepy Things That Might Prove This Life Is A Simulation Long, but super weird and inexplicable. I know how this sounds, but I swear this really happened:

I was a childhood bookworm. While the other girls at a 5th grade sleepover were playing air hockey and dancing around to "Let's Hear it for the Boy', I'd pulled a creepy looking book off my hostess' shelf and huddled into a beanbag chair in a quiet corner of her family room.

I finished the book that night and the next morning I placed it back on her shelf, left, and promptly forgot the title.

We moved a few months later and I spent the next 7 years trying to find that damn book. There was no internet, just old card catalogues, but I searched every library I visited.

Unfortunately, both book and title remained elusive. It turns out that there is no shortage of books about young ghost girls on farms in spooky houses with ponds. The author wasn't Mary Downing Hahn, Richard Peck, or any of the usual paranormal YA authors. It wasn't "Wait til Helen Comes." The only thing I could remember about the cover was that she was holding an owl. That didn't turn out to be helpful, either.

In my sophomore year I worked as a librarian's aid & spent roughly 2 hours in my school's library every day. To no avail, I'd literally searched through every book that contained the following keywords: ghost, haunted, spooky, scary, & mystery.

But one afternoon as I was shelving books in the Biography section, something quite literally hit me on the head. It was a hardback book that had fallen off the top shelf in a section it didn't belong in. As soon as I picked it up and saw the hollow owl on the cover I KNEW.

It was not a book logged into our system. Nobody knew how it got there. I was alone in the library.

FWIW, I just Googled "ya novel ghost story girl pond owl" and it was the top result: *The Ghost Next Door* by Wylly Folk St John. If I'd just waited 32 years...
