Many of you may consider this a repost, and normally I would agree. However, my main reason for posting is I just want to hear more of these mind boggling stories. So please don't downvote me into oblivion.

I don't have any but am also interested. I assume you have perused /r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix?
I actually have never heard of that subreddit! Upon inspecting, it seems like it will hold many valuable stories. Thanks for the redirect. :)

Whatever you say, Oedipus.
I was driving home from work late one night and listening to the Joe Rogan podcast. On it, he was talking about people hitting deer and what to do when you're driving and encountering one. Sure enough, ahead of me is a deer in the middle of the road. I keep driving, knowing not to swerve, straight shot for the deer and brace for impact.... Nothing. I look to the side and no deer. Then I notice that I am on a bridge. Was it all in my head, phantom deer or glitch in the matrix?
This gave me goosebumps... were you tired or driving for awhile?
I'd only been driving for about 20 minutes
One night when I was sitting at home with my wife (now ex) a loud honking started from outside. It was consistent like a car alarm. I went outside to my car and determined that the honking was coming from it (as we live in the country and there was no other car around). I tried pressing the horn like normal and no sound came out. I tried starting the car and turning it off, nothing. I jogged back to the house and on my way tripped, and at that moment the honking stopped.
I have no car alarm in my car, never had. Still no idea what happened.
Was it a Mitsubishi?
Maybe some kind of emergency alarm??
When I was a kid (6 or 7) I was doing the usual thing in my room playing with my toys. One of them was my favorite toy it was a spiderman toy, anyway I was done playing so I ran out the back of my house to find my brother and trod on something so I look down and it is the very same spiderman toy that I was playing with inside. I was only young so I freaked right out, screamed and ran inside to my room and the toy was still sitting in the same place I had left it. It could have just been the imagination of a young child but I don't know.
Spidey was pissed that you left him.
I was walking up the stairs in an old hotel with some colleagues when I saw a black cat. Twice. Apparently it's a glitch in the Matrix.
Or two black cats.

When I was a little girl, my mom always made my whole family pose for professional portraits around Thanksgiving. I especially hated them, because my mom would never let me wear what I wanted. Well, this specific year I finally got my way and was allowed to wear my bright pink powerpuff girls tshirt. After the pictures arrived in the mail, my mom made a big deal about mailing them to all her friends and family.
That same year, around Christmas now, we're visiting family in Illinois when a family friend (my mom's best friend's brother) offers to take my sister and me ice-fishing. So we head out to this pristine lake in the middle of some woods that look like something straight from a holiday greeting card, and naturally, being a seven year old, I wander off. I was lost in the woods for maybe fifteen minutes, but to my panic-stricken mind, it feels like hours. I'm crying, frozen snot dripping down my face, and come across a fallen tree. I decide to sit it out and wait for someone to find me. Sticking out from beneath this log is a manilla envelope, about 8x10 in size. Even though snow is everywhere, and the ground beneath it is soaked, this envelope is only moist at the edges and on the back (the paper beneath it still crisp, not soggy or floppy) like it only been on the ground under this tree for minutes.
I open it, and lo and behold, it's my family portrait taken a month before. The portrait is in perfect shape, with not a crinkle in it, except for one major flaw. All our faces, (my mom, my dad, my brother, my sister, and myself) are burned through, as if scorched by a cigarette. There's my pink powerpuff girls shirt. My mom's handwriting giving the date is on the back, along with her signature. When the family friend found me, he didn't know I had the envelope. I tucked it into my coat with the intention of showing my mom.
Upon returning back to the family friend's house, I give the envelope to my mother in private. She never mailed her friend a copy of the portrait because she didn't have enough copies and thought what her friend didn't know wouldn't hurt her. My mom was going to confront her friend about the portrait in the morning, and locked the envelope in our car for safe-keeping. That night, our car was broken into and stolen. We never saw the car again, but about a year later, the portrait was mailed back to us from a PO Box in Michigan with no return-sender's name given. My mind is still full of da-fuq to this day.
Fuck... this is scary.
This is not a glitch in the matrix. This is a reason to carry a concealed firearm.
