I have thought for the last two years that this

0:02

event was a Mandela effect, but after

0:04

finding this sub, I am starting to

0:06

think maybe it was a glitch. Anyone

0:08

else have something so blatant happen?

0:10

I'm hesitant to tell this story.

0:13

No one believes that even my husband who

0:15

saw the whole thing, but here we

0:17

go. My neighbors directly

0:19

across the street from me, they're married and

0:21

expecting a baby. The wife is a tiny

0:23

blonde woman, very Caucasian, very

0:25

tiny build. We wave to each other daily,

0:28

and yell salutations across the street.

0:30

She goes into labor and they leave for the hospital.

0:33

A week later, I see the car has turn

0:35

so I bake some cookies to take over and congratulate

0:38

them. What a good neighbor?

0:40

Another day or two goes by and I see

0:42

a thick brunette lady outside with a

0:44

baby and I wave, assuming it's a relative

0:46

that's come to help with the newborn. A

0:48

few more days passed and I see the husband

0:50

outside with the brunette and the baby,

0:52

so I take the cookies over.

0:55

It's her. It's

0:56

the wife. Same name, same

0:58

personality, and same demeanor, except

1:00

now she's a thick, kind of tall brunette Pacific

1:03

Islander. The husband doesn't acknowledge any

1:05

difference. She talks to me and treats me

1:07

the way always has, but it's a totally

1:09

different person. My husband noticed

1:12

as well, we made some jokes about him wife

1:14

swapping at the hospital But since he can't

1:16

wrap his brain around it, he starts to

1:18

believe that she's always been this person

1:21

even though he clearly remembers her teeny

1:23

and blonde. I feel like everyone has

1:25

lost their minds. It's been almost two

1:27

years since that shift and she's still

1:29

a thick tall brunette. And

1:31

then I feel like maybe I've lost

1:34

my mind. My only consolation is

1:36

that my husband remembers it too if

1:38

only vaguely. Dude,

1:40

I see Caucasian people.

1:41

Update number one.

1:44

So I showed the picture I found to her.

1:46

So So she so she found a picture.

1:49

So this all happens. You know? And of course,

1:51

everybody jumps into bake. You know,

1:53

what is going on in this situation? They ask if

1:55

they if they have if she has any pictures

1:57

of this woman of her neighbor from

2:00

what she believes she originally looked

2:02

like and she found this picture from a

2:04

church group where the looks like

2:06

how she remembered. So update

2:08

number one. So I showed the picture I found

2:10

of her to my husband last night he's

2:13

a little bit of a mess about it. The man is

2:15

not a conspiracy guy at all,

2:17

but he remembered her. He started asking

2:19

some questions and tossing around ideas about

2:21

what could have happened. I convinced

2:23

him to go to the church this morning and

2:25

attend their service. I spoke briefly

2:27

with the pastor and said my neighbor had recommended

2:30

that I attend. He was grateful she was sending

2:32

people his way, even though get this,

2:34

she hadn't attended since she had the

2:36

baby. She apparently changed churches

2:39

to one a little closer when she gave birth.

2:41

So I don't know where to go

2:43

next except for putting some feelers out in

2:45

the neighborhood and finding an excuse to hang

2:47

out with her. I would just go up to this person

2:49

and show her this blonde Caucasian

2:52

person. Is this you? Get

2:53

ready. Update

2:54

number two. I'm sorry that took

2:56

so long. I didn't want to update until I

2:58

had spoken directly to my neighbor.

3:00

So I endured the heat all week

3:02

and spent way too much on flowers to plant

3:05

in an attempt to run into my neighbors.

3:07

The old lady next door doesn't remember the

3:09

neighbor's wife having blonde hair, but her

3:11

middle aged daughter does. She said,

3:14

that was a couple years ago. I don't

3:16

know why she went so dark. I thought it would

3:18

wash her out. When I pointed out that it

3:20

wouldn't wash her out because her complexion is

3:22

tan now, she looked confused and said

3:24

that maybe she had been tanning because

3:26

she did look darker. I pushed

3:28

it a little further and asked if she also

3:30

seemed taller, but she seemed stuck on the

3:32

fact that the very Caucasian blonde woman

3:34

had gotten tan enough for such dark hair

3:36

to look natural. She gave me several

3:39

reasons, but didn't seem convinced I

3:41

also spoke to the changed ladies'

3:43

next store neighbor and mentioned her having

3:45

blonde hair. Neither he nor

3:47

his wife remembered her ever being blonde.

3:50

They both agreed she had dark hair on

3:52

move in day. Yesterday, I

3:54

finally cornered changed neighbor lady

3:56

outside. She pulled up with

3:58

groceries, and I offered to help carry

4:00

them with her. I started talking

4:03

about the church and how I had spoken with the

4:05

pastor. She said some really nice stuff

4:07

about the church, but also that she needed a church

4:09

closer. That's why she had switched.

4:11

When I pointed out that her new church was

4:13

actually farther away, she

4:15

said she had never actually measured it, but

4:17

it seemed closer. I pointed out

4:19

that her old church was in our town and

4:21

her new church is in the next town over

4:23

and she said the back roads just make it

4:25

seem shorter. Some red flags popped

4:27

up here because the back roads around here are

4:29

long windy roads that circle around our

4:31

town and pass by all the farmland. It

4:34

doesn't ever make things quicker. It's a

4:36

nicer drive, sure, but it always adds a

4:38

good chunk to the drive time. Also,

4:40

the new church is in the middle of the town,

4:42

two streets over from main street.

4:45

So if you take the back roads,

4:47

you actually have to circle back to get on

4:49

the main roads, to get to it anyway. It

4:51

would be much more convenient to take

4:53

a direct route using the town roads that

4:55

connect the two towns. It's almost

4:57

a straight shot from the middle of our town

4:59

to the next town over. I don't know

5:01

why that bothered me, but it did.

5:03

After a little while of small talk, I

5:05

brought up the hair. I said that I was

5:07

trying to go blonde to hide some gray

5:09

that I have coming in and did she have any

5:12

tips? She laughed and said the

5:14

last time she was blonde, she was in high

5:16

school and it was a mess so she didn't recommend

5:18

it. I pointed out that she was blonde

5:20

right before having her baby and she

5:22

got really weird, almost

5:24

defensive and said she hadn't. She

5:26

had only tried to go blonde that one time in

5:28

high school and it turned orange so she died

5:30

it back immediately. I told her I chalked

5:32

it up to pregnancy brain because she was

5:34

definitely blonde while she was pregnant. She

5:36

ended the conversation shortly after and

5:38

thanked me for my help, but you could tell

5:40

she was annoyed with me. Dude,

5:43

this woman is, like, measuring skulls

5:46

and, like, checking the neighbor and, like, be, like,

5:48

a has the property value gone down?

5:51

I didn't agree I didn't agree

5:53

to live next to somebody who was in Caucasian.

5:57

What the fuck is happening? This is the

5:59

most oh,

5:59

my god.

6:00

So guys, not super sure what

6:03

I've learned other than the girl next door

6:05

to me, old lady's daughter, and I are going to

6:07

have another chat. she made

6:09

me feel like she remembered, but she couldn't

6:11

wrap her head around it. I'm going back to

6:13

the church on Sunday to poke around and

6:15

talk to some more people. Any more ideas?

6:17

Never live next someone who's on Reddit.

6:19

That is the fucking answer here.

6:21

These people are insane. Just how

6:24

how bored Do you have

6:26

to be in your own life to go? I mean, this sounds

6:28

like a crusade that went on for

6:31

years. At one point of the pose, she says

6:33

it's been two years after they had the baby. So

6:35

this woman is sitting, you know

6:37

you know, sitting looking out her

6:39

window going, what's changed? Is it

6:41

I I remember her different. Yeah. This

6:43

is like this really is is a

6:45

twenty first century version of rear

6:47

window, which lags it out,

6:49

but But instead of some of being murdered,

6:51

someone someone doesn't doesn't appear like

6:53

you remembered, and so you're trying to investigate

6:56

the what's what the hell is going on? Except in

6:58

rear window, you know, he had

7:00

the excuse of, you know, being

7:02

confined to his bedroom by

7:04

disability. This case, he's just

7:06

combined to his bedroom by Internet

7:08

brain. They're just you're you're stuck into

7:11

the Reddit, and you can't let it

7:13

go, and you're letting it radicalize you slowly.

7:15

That's the twenty first person rear window.

7:17

And that and the amazing thing is is that

7:19

this woman, she didn't just straight

7:21

up, go up to the person, be like, hey,

7:23

I'm losing my mind. I think, like, I thought

7:25

you looked you know, you looked totally different, but

7:27

then after you had that Or show her the picture. Yeah.

7:29

Sure her the picture or whatever. But instead,

7:31

she's going to the flower store, she's buying

7:33

flowers, she's staying outside in

7:35

hopes that they run into her, you know, she

7:37

offers to help carry groceries, you know,

7:39

so that maybe she can She's she's

7:41

playing detective, and I'll tell you what guys.

7:44

The the replies to this story

7:46

are are not helping because one of

7:48

the most popular replies says

7:51

this. Some federal

7:53

agents are in undercover marriages. Maybe

7:55

they needed to switch one with their bio partner

7:57

as maternity leave. Maybe it was a

7:59

case if they switched from their assigned partner to

8:01

keep it somewhat plausible. Who cares if you sound

8:03

a little insane? rather than

8:05

no pregnant wife. And then bam,

8:07

baby shows up out of nowhere. That would be

8:09

more noticeable to blow their cover.

8:11

What? And then the person below that writes

8:14

this. I surmise that this is

8:16

what went down. Man, if I was o

8:18

p, I'd figure out some way to invite the woman

8:20

over to my home. When she was inside,

8:22

I just flat out say, quote, hey,

8:24

so I know for sure that you aren't the same

8:26

woman who lived here before, I'm not a dumbass.

8:28

If she's a cop, you will simply be killed

8:30

or incarcerated or have your memory watch

8:33

Or the couple will move, but that's just

8:35

my insane truth or die approach. No.

8:38

Don't do any of these things. Leave

8:40

your neighbors alone. You fucking read it,

8:43

brained idiots. Yeah. If your

8:45

neighbor looks different, move

8:47

on with your life. Yes. find

8:50

something else to do, then try to

8:52

trap them over in your home. Look,

8:54

my wife and I Look, I'm

8:56

not gonna lie. we gained quite

8:58

a bit of weight during COVID. There

9:00

might be a glitch in the matrix,

9:03

a subreddit user across the street

9:05

that's like, man, you know, when they

9:07

moved in, it was a very attractive

9:09

in shape couple. And now

9:11

they've been they've been they've been

9:13

replaced by too too thick too

9:15

sick peep too sick. You

9:17

know, I I started taking hair pills

9:19

at the beginning of the at

9:22

the beginning of pandemic. And as

9:24

a result, much of many of my bald

9:26

spots have grown in. So maybe there's a

9:28

subreddit post, yeah, when he moved in, he

9:30

was basically totally

9:32

bald, but Now when I see him, he's got

9:34

hair on top of his head. I wonder,

9:36

it's gotta be some sort of federal

9:38

agent. I think as usual, these episodes

9:40

are covering Jake's brain. Yeah.

9:41

So nothing. It's a nice

9:43

brain. Everybody wants to come inside the

9:46

madness. Yeah. Everybody wants a little peek

9:48

inside the madness every now and again.

9:50

Are we sure like, the hair pills don't make the hair

9:52

grow down into the brain? Like

9:56

roots like roots of an old

9:58

tree just like completely messing with

10:00

the frontal cortex. My

10:01

next story is from Outride

10:04

and the title is pretty

10:06

sure my college friend switch timelines from

10:08
