People's 'Glitch in the Matrix' Experiences Baffle the Internet: 'Spooky and Unsettling'
People have been sharing stories about times they have experienced a "glitch in the matrix" and some are proving simply too strange to explain away.
A phrase first coined in the 1999 film The Matrix—which posited the idea that humanity is living in a giant computer simulation—over the years a "glitch in the matrix" has become shorthand for an example of an unusual occurrence that cannot logically be explained.
During a recent discussion on Mumsnet, which garnered over 700 comments, users were invited to offer up their own experiences of a "glitch in the matrix" and the responses did not disappoint.
Vampirethriller recalled: "I was once on my own in my family home, family were all on holiday and only I had keys.
"I was making jam. I came to put it in jars and couldn't find half the lids, so I left the lidless jars in the pantry and went to bed. Got up in the morning and all the lidless jars now had lids screwed on tight and in every jar was a dead spider."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
