Get your free, 30-second personalized assessment TODAY at https://PDSDebt.com/files. Parallel Universes and the People Who Got Caught Between Them Gather round, because this happened. A woman drives through her hometown and the cemetery is gone — replaced by a dirt lot. A man is found behind a fast food restaurant with no name, no history, and no record of existing for twenty-one years. A woman wakes up to discover her boyfriend never existed and her own life has been quietly rewritten. These are three real accounts from real people. None of them involve UFOs or hauntings. They don't fit neatly into any category. What they share is stranger than any single explanation: the sense that reality shifted without warning, and that the world kept moving like nothing happened. Each person was left holding a version of events that no one else could confirm. These stories don't have clean endings. #MissingReality #ParallelUniverse #TrueStrangeness 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 Executive Producers: Jennifer Gentile Gino Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members Editors: Joe Stone Drew Sullivan Brandon Snyder Ryan Fitzgerald Producers: Victoria Young Haley Burke Research: Haley Burke AJ Gentile Gino Gentile Jen Gentile Victoria Young Written/Hosted by: AJ Gentile Hecklefish J.

The parallel universe thing happened to me. I was in the 4th grade in 1992 and we had moved to texas that summer. The following summer I went back to California to vist my best friend. She said my old classmates who lived on our street were really excited to see me again. When we all met up on the street there were 3 kids I didn't know. They all acted like I was teasing them, pretending not to remember who they were. They told story after story of fun times we had together and I couldnt remember any of them. I thought they were playing a trick on me but every single kids that summer knew these kids and remembered these stories. It was really bizarre and made me question my sanity for years. One of the boys talked about how he sat next to me every single day in class and how we cheated off eachother in spelling. I had cheated on my spelling tests, but not with this kid, with another kid that I remeberbered well and who lived in a different neighborhood. When I got back home I looked at my class photo. The kid i remeberbered so well who sat next to me all year wasn't in the photo. The 3 other kids that I couldn't remeberber at all were right there in the picture with me. Still freaks me out. Ive never experienced anything like that since.

My boyfriend and I visited a house that was for sale. We had an appointment with the home owners. When we got there, they were not there, so we went around to the back of the house and I stepped up onto the screened in back porch. My boyfriend stood outside and did not enter the porch. I knocked on the back door as I saw an elderly woman, short gray hair in a flowered night dress (the kind old ladies wear) and she was leafing through her mail. I knocked again, looking right at her and she did not respond. I turned to my boyfriend, who could not see her from where he was standing and I told him, "There's an old lady in there but she can't hear me." I tried knocking again and she just kept flipping through her mail. Just at that moment we heard the home owners arrive so we went out front. I told them about the lady not hearing me and they looked confused. They said nobody was inside. When we went in, nobody was inside. I know what I saw!!

As a police officer in 2018 I was on patrol one evening right before dusk on a backroad. I started to feel lightheaded and closed my eyes for a second to reorient. When I opened my eyes the black top road had turned to a dirt road and the fields and houses looked completely different on both sides of the road from how they normally looked. Everything looked like it was from the 1800's. I applied my brakes and stopped. I tried to call my shift partner on the radio but my police radio wouldn't work. It kept going what we call "digital" which is a term we use when the radio can't find a tower to hit off of. As soon as my car stopped I exited my police car and the weather, temperature and everything was different. I was patrolling in May and it was a warm spring evening. What I felt when I exited my car was hot and muggy air. I felt fine and my lightheadedness was gone. I spun around and took an observation of 360 degrees around me. It was 1800's scenery as far as I could see. I didn't see any people or animals though. I shook my head in disbelief trying to regain my bearings then suddenly I felt lightheaded again and I closed my eyes. When I opened them I was standing on the roadway next to my patrol car and it was 2018 again. My radio worked again. I wish I had looked at the time when it started and when I "came back" I have always wondered if I had missing time. I drove that area a thousand more times on patrol since and it has never happened again. 90% of the houses that are there now were not there in my "trip". I could only see two house and they were completely different from the ones that reside there now. I went and did some digging at the county library and was able to find a photo from 1885 taken about a mile further down the road. It matched the same type of things I saw exactly in reference to the style of field fencing and building style. For anyone interested where it happened. I was on Bucktown Road outside of Cambridge, Maryland just south of the Indian Bone Road intersection. It's about two miles south of the county airport. You can find it on google maps. 38°29'25.68"N 76°00'59.41"W

I worked with my dad in construction in the 80s. Helped him build a new farm house in the mid 80s in Northumberland. Sandstone with a slate roof. I was in the UK with my wife for a vacation. I took her to show her the house we built and in it's place was a way older building than we'd built. Old windows and doors. I thought I was in the wrong place but I've since confirmed it on Google earth

I am almost 100% convinced that a terrible 4wheeler accident I had actually killed me. Ever since that accident things have seemed strange, almost off, some memories didn’t match other people memories. I almost wonder if when I had that accident I didn’t “miraculously somehow survive” and instead actually died in that reality and woke up in this one. I was in a coma for 7 days after the accident and ever since waking up, the worlds just been…. Different. I cannot explain it.

My Dad once told me he used to date a girl in his early 20s. He cannot remember what happened between them and what happened to their relationship. It seems no one remembered her or even their relationship. She basically disappeared and no one remember who she was or even if she existed. He even went to her home but someone else live there, they said they've been there for years. HE swore she existed, especially she was his first time going commando. He remembered a lot about her but no one remembered her except for him. What truly happened? No one knows.
