20: We Died in a Car Crash, Then Reality Reset | Glitch in the Matrix Stories
What if you died in a car crash, then woke up earlier that same day with a chance to change what happened?In Episode 20 of Overheard Online, Erin is joined by her longtime friend Diana to explore unsettling glitch in the matrix stories involving reality resets, near-death experiences, shared dreams, time slips, doppelgängers and encounters that do not fit neatly into one timeline.The episode begins with the story of two friends who remember dying in a car crash before suddenly finding themselves back at the beginning of the night. From there, Erin and Diana examine whether the experience could be explained by quantum immortality, a premonition, an altered state or a glimpse into another version of reality.They also discuss stories about a man receiving a second chance after death, a former neighbour repeatedly seeing someone who no longer lives nearby, a teenager apparently meeting his friend decades in the future, a real-life stick figure crossing the road, the same mysterious old man appearing everywhere and a childhood playground containing a place that seemingly should not have existed.Along the way, the conversation explores lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, collective consciousness, intuition, eternalism, simulation theory and whether the body can recognize information before the conscious mind understands it.In this episode:Two friends die in a car crash, then experience the day againQuantum immortality and reality-reset theoriesPremonitions and stories that seemingly predict real eventsLucid dreams, out-of-body experiences and altered statesCollective consciousness and unexplained creative downloadsA man who believes he died and received a second chanceA neighbour who still sees someone walking with their deceased dogA teenager who may have met his friend 24 years in the futureA real-life stick man sightingAliens, collective memory and former Canadian official Paul HellyerThe same mysterious old man appearing everywhereA secret childhood playground that disappearedNo forced conclusions.

17: Time Slips, Vanishing Cars & Reality Not Rendering || Glitch in the Matrix Stories
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.🌀 Have a glitch, NDE, or unexplained story of your own?
