10: Doppelgängers, Resurrected Classmates & Vanishing Strangers || Glitch in the Matrix Stories

Written By Erin Krol

In this episode of Overheard Online, Erin and Kelsey explore some of the strangest Glitch in the Matrix stories yet - from eerie doppelgänger encounters, to a man who vanished inside a bar, toast that reset itself mid-bite, mysterious phantom water splashes, and even a classmate remembered as dead who showed up at a reunion.

They also share powerful personal accounts, including a sister with Down Syndrome who knows things she couldn’t possibly know, and a non-verbal sister with Cerebral Palsy who once saved her teacher’s life.

As always, they connect these experiences to science and philosophy - from Eternalism to the 4th Dimension - and weave in their own stories along the way.

Whether you’re drawn to paranormal stories, reality glitches, time loops, or synchronicities, this episode is filled with chilling encounters, strange theories, and uncanny coincidences you won’t forget.
