Something is wrong with the road tonight.

A woman drives somewhere on Christmas night and her Google Maps says she never left home. Another stops at a gas station in Ohio at 2am – the cashier already knows her cigarette brand – and that station still hasn’t opened yet. Seven friends stop for gas on a birthday road trip. They drive away as six. Nobody can remember who was missing.

This week on Overheard Online, we’re reading the stories people post at 2am when something happened to them that they still can’t explain.

In this episode: a Christmas night highway glitch and a Google Maps history rewrite, a gas station from the future, a seventh friend erased from reality at a creepy roadside stop, a beach café that has never existed, a woman who watched herself die at a stoplight, ghost cars on the highway, a coworker seen in two places at once, a doppelganger that walked like a robot, a tiger that became a stuffed animal, and a cinema that forgot to load.

Plus – a deep dive into one r/Paranormal thread where thousands of people answered: “What’s the creepiest glitch in the matrix that’s ever happened to you?”

Overheard Online is the podcast for real Reddit stories about glitches in the matrix, near-death experiences, time slips, doppelgangers, and things that can’t be explained. New episodes weekly.
