This is a solo, story-forward episode of Overheard Online.

In this installment, I take you through a long chain of firsthand accounts where reality seems to momentarily lose its footing - quietly, briefly, and without explanation. There’s no debate panel, no interviews, and no theories layered on top. Just the stories themselves, told as they were experienced and written.

Across these accounts, objects duplicate and vanish. Cars disappear mid-drive. Roads reset, exits repeat, and familiar routes lead somewhere else entirely. Time compresses, stretches, or drops out altogether. People freeze mid-movement. Faces and bodies appear pixelated or translucent. Sounds distort. Voices come through radios that shouldn’t be transmitting anything at all.

Some moments are witnessed by multiple people. Others are noticed by only one person in the room - sometimes becoming stranger when no one else seems to see what they saw.

The episode also moves through near-death experiences, altered states, and moments where consciousness appears to separate, expand, or observe from outside the body, raising the same recurring question: are these glitches external, internal, or something happening in the overlap between the two?

As always, these stories aren’t presented as proof or explanation. They’re shared exactly as they were lived - and exactly as they continue to linger with the people who experienced them.
