   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 again Quantum immortality and reality-reset theories Premonitions and stories that seemingly predict real events Lucid dreams, out-of-body experiences and altered states Collective consciousness and unexplained creative downloads A man who believes he died and received a second chance A neighbour who still sees someone walking with their deceased dog A teenager who may have met his friend 24 years in the future A real-life stick man sighting Aliens, collective memory and former Canadian official Paul Hellyer The same mysterious old man appearing everywhere A secret childhood playground that disappeared No forced conclusions. Just strange stories, open minds and conversations about the experiences that make reality feel a little less settled.

   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.

   18: Glitch in the Matrix + Paranormal Stories | Shadow People, Ghost Visits & Liminal Spaces

   Shadow people. Ghost visits. Liminal spaces. Reality glitches. If you love true “Glitch in the Matrix” + paranormal stories, this episode is stacked with experiences that feel impossible - yet the storytellers swear they happened. We dive into the unsettling feeling that reality “reset” years ago, car-accident stories that changed everything, a ghost visit, a shadow person encounter at the cottage, and multiple listener stories that sound like timeline slips. You’ll hear: Reality-shift / “timeline glitch” moments A ghost visit that doesn’t add up Shadow person at the cottage Listener stories with eerie “someone was here” energy Strange auditory glitches that still don’t make sense If you’re into the overlap between paranormal experiences, memory slips, and liminal-space vibes - this one’s for you.
