Our memory is largely prone to being faulty. At this point, I can’t tell you how many times I confidently tried proving to someone that the recollection ingrained in my mind was correct, only to learn that I was completely wrong. Weirdly and interestingly enough, some of these false memories are shared among people, like Curious George having a tail or peanut butter called Jiffy being a thing.
This phenomenon is colloquially called the Mandela Effect, which the Facebook community Mandela Effect & Glitches In The Matrix explores daily. If you ever thought you were going crazy by believing some things existed when, in reality, they didn’t, you might want to scroll down and find peace in knowing you’re not alone.
So I lost my ring in our backyard, I wouldn’t cut the grass until I could find it. One day, a butterfly I’ve never seen in my area ever flew to the fence and I followed it, then a bumblebee and the butterfly twitted around an area I looked in over and over and boom…. My ring right there out in the open.
I was given a present, 2 identical items, one for me and one was meant for me to pass onto whoever I felt I wanted to gift it to. We were out at a coffee shop when my friend gave it to me, I opened it immediately, I saw the 2 items, the only other thing in the bag was a gift card. I took it home and put it in the top of my wardrobe for safe keeping.
Roll on a week or so later and I get the gift bag down as I’m wanting to show it to another friend (I was taking it to her, she wasn’t in my home) as we’d been talking about it. Only now there’s 3 in the bag, all identical. My friend who made it and I haven’t seen each other in the time between, she hasn’t been in my home and no one else who had been in my house had seen her either.
The strangest part is these were crafted/homemade gifts and she only ever made 2 of them 🧐 so a third one can’t possibly exist, let alone be in my home x
Last night my husband and son saw a bubble floating in the room, near the ceiling and popped by the ceiling fan. No one was blowing bubbles or bathing or anything near water. It just was …there! How bizarre!
When we were living in western New York in our first home I had a dream of a man looking down at me from a skylight roof window. We had a small cape home with no skylights so I just thought it was a strange morning dream. 3 years later we moved to coastal Massachusetts for a new job for my husband. We bought a newer townhouse condo and it had several levels and skylights. One day I was laying on the living room couch and looked up at the skylight. There’s the same man in the skylight looking down at me. They were re-roofing the building and he was a worker. This still amazes me.
So I’ve always had bad eyes & need glasses since elementary. Anywho while In a relationship with my kids father we use to get into altercations and he would always go straight for my eyes. Around 2021, I started seeing things just go past my eyes & never knew what it was it use to scare me thought it was a fly or something.
So 2022, I went to my annual eye doctor appointment & I told them about what I had been seeing they said it was something called “floaters”. They continued on with everything like normal and afterwards the doctor comes in and tells me my eye sight was getting worse. I had something call “lattice”, also said the white part around my eye was thinning out & that my retina could detach from my brain at anytime & I could go blind.
After getting the news I was scared but it was time to pick out new frames. I got these cute red ones (first time trying a color).. So my next appointment was in 2023. After they dilated and checked my eyes. I asked was the lattice & thinning getting any worse? She just looks at me in confusion and say she doesn’t know what I’m talking about my eyes are just fine. I explained what I was told my last appointment in 2022 and she tells me I haven’t been seen there since “2019” and she has no clue who told me that or why anyone would tell me those things. I still don’t understand what happened?
So, I have two daughters aged 6 and 7 where EVERYTHING has to be the same otherwise there will be arguments! Their older brother got a towel with a pokemon figure on it as a birthday present a few years ago. My girls have argued about being allowed to use this towel when they shower, and there’s always been a lot of fuss about this since we only have one. Yesterday, both girls were going to take a shower, and the eldest went to get her own towel and went into the shower. When she was finished and came out of the bathroom I asked my youngest daughter to go get herself a towel so I could help her shower. Off course she picked up the pokemon towel but I didnt see that. When she was finished showering she wrapped the towel around her hair and walked out into the living room where her sister was sitting. Then i saw that she had picked the pokemon towel, and thought to myself that they were going to start an argument. But then I looked over to her sister and saw that she also had a pokemon towel – completely identical! We have NEVER owned two of this towel, as it was a gift. None of the kids have been taking towels to school or had any sleepovers – and I cant figure out where the other towel came from!! 😳 Sorry for bad picture. Took the picure before throwing the towels in the washer
