Let's talk about time slips, /x/.

For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, the basic premise is simple enough: that a person can unintentionally, unwittingly "slip" into another time while remaining in the same general physical area.

The most famous reported case of this is the Moberly-Jourdain Incident: In 1901 two women named Charlotte Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain were traveling, visiting locations such as the Palace of Versailles and the Petit Trianon. After some difficulty finding their way around the area, the women missed one of their turns and became lost. They said that at this point they both noticed a strong feeling of "oppression and dread" come over them. They saw and spoke with people who were dressed in styles from the time of the French Revolution and observed that their surroundings had on a very different feel and appearance: "Everything suddenly looked unnatural, therefore unpleasant; even the trees seemed to become flat and lifeless, like wood worked in tapestry. There were no effects of light and shade, and no wind stirred the trees."

Toward the end of this experience, one of the women believed that she witnessed Marie Antoinette, who at this time had been dead for over a hundred years, sketching on the grass and smiling at her. Shortly thereafter they found their way back to the entrance of the area they had been visiting and apparently rejoined their "original" time.

The women didn't discuss the incident at first, but once they did they arrived at the conclusion that they had experienced something very strange, possibly some sort of ghost encounter, and wrote separate accounts of the incident before compiling them into a book which garnered them their fair share of ridicule.

So who here is familiar with the concept? Know any stories worth sharing? The idea of inadvertently stepping into another time is as fascinating as it is horrifying, especially once you consider the idea that maybe someone has done so but was unable to return.

If you'd like something a bit more recent, there are numerous accounts of time slips occurring in Liverpool and on Bold Street in particular. This article from this year collects and recounts some of them.

Okay, I can't remember all the exact details of this story BUT

A kind of weird time swap story I heard of was that one morning, a young modern woman woke up and claimed she was actually an elderly dutchess who had lived centuries ago. She was had no idea what year it was, all she knew was she was an old woman from centuries ago when she went to bed & woke up a young lady in the future. She wasn't very upset about it though, because she had youth again. Alot of people assumed it was mental illness or something

However, someone did some research into the life of the long dead Dutchess and found that towards the end of her life, she woke up one morning absolutely hysterical. Shrieking about being in the wrong body & the wrong time, which they assumed was the result of her being old and senile.

I don't know when exactly the modern woman woke up & I don't know for sure it was a dutchess - basically, it was an elderly woman of some nobility. Has anyone else heard of this story and can you link me to it if you come across something like that?

It's an interesting concept but I think that particular example was just a fake.
>>
>>17906031
Thanks for the story. A quick search only turns up one story, posted across a few paranormal/conspiracy blogs and message boards about a woman named Lerina Garcia who woke up and claimed to be in the wrong time. Unfortunately they all provide the same source from which they gathered this woman's story and it's a bogus link, so I can't really find out much else.
>>
>>17906046
It could be, there's certainly no historical shortage of people who made up bullshit stories to get famous. Some of the details are off-putting, like the idea that they would slip back into such a crucial moment in French history. But then again, maybe whatever force could be responsible for something like a time slip could be affected by or associated with instances of particular emotional (for lack of a better word. spiritual just doesn't do it for me) shifts?

Admittedly, that's a bit of a stretch but there are still instances like the Liverpool/Bold Street cases I mentioned as well, which seem to be more of something accidental, not aimed at gaining attention (like writing a book) and without over-the-top additional details such as seeing Marie Antoinette.

The Man from Taured, anyone?
>>
>>17906076
The man from Taured is a fascinating case, but does it have any connotations of being displaced in time? From what I remember he claimed/had documentation to show that he was from a country which doesn't exist, right?

If there are some elements involving a potential time slip, refresh my memory - I could have just forgotten that bit.

Robert Anton Wilson gave a different approach on all matters of previous lives/reincarnations and also what you guys call Time Slips.

To make it short he goes form the idea that time itself doesnnt change, but our perception of it does, which in turns gives the same results.

He believed that deep within the dna was encoded all the realm of posibilities of human lives, including all our knowledge, experience, etc, and that under specific conditions, the brain could reach this massive knowledge and access past lives, or other human lives. Kinda like the annukaki archives or something, I forgot its name.

So no magical portal in hard reality, but rather an incredible trick of the brain, leading to the impression that one indeed had access to a different timeline, as if seeing from the eyes of people long dead.

Thoughts on that ?

If I'm going to consider the possible scientific explanations for this phenomenon, I'd honestly be more inclined towards something in the vein of our poor grasp of the dimensions above the three we perceive than I would any sort of DNA programming. The former only requires an admission of ignorance and some imagination whereas the latter seems to go further into the supernatural than the time slip concept already is.

I honestly don't mean that to shit on your contribution, that's just my first thought. But I'm curious whether you have any more information on it.

right now the most widely accepted version about the "appearance" of time is....what? Like a two dimensional plane or the classic linear timeline or a tree with branches being the result of parallel timelines deriving from others?

I don't know that there is a widely accepted view on the "appearance" of time but, again, that could just be my own ignorance. There's the spacetime component, but our perception of time as we understand it, as a measure of our existence, I think it's rather narrow and simplistic.

Well there seems to be a huge bias with our science as to whether the events we study happen in the outside reality (I lack the words for this, so take it as inherent reality ? Objective reality ?) or if it's happening in our heads, as what we perceive and how it affect us. You know, the map is not the territory.


I personally think that the truth must be somewhere between these two, that it indeed has something to do with our struggle with quantuum dimentions, and also that it's got something to do with advanced brain fuckery.

That'd explain why the supernatural often seems to be subjective and only appear to very few people, while leaving almost no traces for science to study.

>>17906146
I find it astonishing how all the ideas he fooled around with got deleted by the officials. He sure knew his shits but for some obscure reasons his ideas never took off and flew by their own wings. It's like theres been a cultural embargo on most of their ideas.

I'm in agreement, by and large. The thing that gets sort of frustrating for me is that the dimensional component is a legitimate, worthwhile area for study and consideration but too many paranormal/supernatural researches cannot stop themselves from making gigantic leaps in logic and get the cart before the horse. If we want to posit that things like time anomalies, ghosts, maybe even things like UFOs are experiences/interactions with dimensional intersecting, I think that's great. I even like hearing wild ideas and theories about what lies beyond our understanding of the other dimensions. But they lose me completely when they speculate about the things on the other side of this essentially permanent barrier to our knowledge of other dimensions while framing them as plausible or even scientific explanations. I've seen people who want to utilize the extra-dimensional explanation but then they start giving what are basically just entirely imagined stories for how it happens and who or what these other "entities" in higher dimensions are when even presuming that they are in fact conscious beings is way, way over the line into speculation and simple fiction.

It's honestly one of the things I hate about the larger community surrounding the paranormal, too few people can accept that there are things we know, things we don't know and things we can't know. They have to insist that there are simply things we know and things they're figuring out purely via what amounts to intuition.

I can't really say much for its validity and it could be completely and wholly fake AFAIK but several months back on /r9k/, an anon claimed that they were an overweight male living in Tampa, FL, who went to sleep and woke up the next day as a skinny blonde female living in New York, remaining in that body ever since. The timestamp is about the only convincing thing (of course, they could still be lying) but the explanations seem plausible enough too.

Are there more websites about the concept, and/or related incidents, in general? I'm intrigued by the premise.

>>17906547
The entirety of 4chan--possibly excusing the very small boards--is mostly shitty due to the overabundance of newfags over the last several years who have permanently ruined the website. Of course, /x/ is victim to this. Not saying /x/ was pristine beforehand, what with the /b/ raid, but hopefully you get the point I'm trying to make.

I do, anon I do. I must have started lurking here 2 years ago, while it often was purely spoopy oriented, the levels of shitpost and roleplay were pretty low. Well, I mean compared to now.

But enough with the complaints, anybody got a fresh new approach on the subject ?

one of the cryptic clues from an /x/ omegle thread led to me find this story which seems to be used as a translation exercise in books teaching English as a foreign language.
>"One summer afternoon in New York in 1875, while his wife was preparing dinner, Mr Levi Gamin left his house to buy some tabbaco. He never returned. Sixty years later in 1935, the N.Y.Times printed a story about a man dressed in strange old-fashioned clothes who stepped in front of a car while crossing Times Square. He died instantly.
>The dead man carried no identification and there was nothing in his pocket except some old bank notes from 1875.The police had no idea who the man was or why he was wearing such strange clothes, until a police officer decided to check the missing person file for 1875. In the file was a description of Mr Gamin which matched the description of the dead man exactly. It was then that the questions began.
>Why had Mr Gamin disappeared in 1875? How had he suddenly turned up in Times Square in 1935? Where had he been for the past sixty years and why had his appearance not changed? Did Mr Gamin really vanish into thin air or did something unknown take him into another dimension?

Don't knwo the details, or if this exactly checks on the time slips category but I heard a story some time ago, about two mexican actresses of the 50's or so, that were doing a film on a old town. One morning these women wake up early and before the shooting, decided to go to the church. They went and the church was empty except for a priest. They just stayed for a few minutes before going to their works. When they arrive at the set, everyone was franctic cause they (the women), arrived 5 hour late and no one could found them. The actresses swore they just were in the church like for an hour at most...

I heard of a story of heirs visiting a house to see how everything was. Make sure everything was okay. And they knocked at the door and they saw the curtain move and a dog bark and a cranky old lady telling them to go away. After a while of knocking they left. They left to see the management and asked them about the new people living there and said the lady with the dog wouldnt open the door and sounded a bit cranky. The person managing thhe property just looked at them all confused and said, that's odd, there hasnt been anyone living there in a long time. And showed them the place. No one was there.

Apparently there's a super specific one that occurs near my house in Victoria, BC, while driving down a main road the surronding houses disappear and it looks like the farmland of the 1860s

"A widely documented and experienced time warp or vortex is supposed to occur on Shelbourne St. A strange phenomenon has been reported over many years along a two-block stretch of Shelbourne Street (between Hillside Avenue and Pearl Street). Motorists, usually late at night when traffic is minimal usually during october between 2 and 3 am, have sometimes discovered everything around them takes on the appearance of rural countryside with farms, fields and gravel roads, instead of a paved road flanked by sidewalks and modern buildings. The vortex ends abruptly beyond the two-block area."

>>17906058
The only thing that struck me as interesting about it was the detail of things looking flat and fake. The Marie Antoinette stuff is what makes it sound stupid.

>>17906083

The flat appearance aspect is probably the part that has always kept my fascination with this supposed phenomenon. Imagining witnessing something like that is scary as all hell. Sort of an inverted dissociation.

>>17906100
Is that maybe why some people, both children and adults are able to speak laguages that have been dead for thousands of years or talk about stuff that happened to someone who lived hundreds of years before them, while under hypnosis. Hypnosis could be one of those "conditions" in which this happens. Sorta makes sense to me?

Tbh it kind of sounds like alzheimer. I didn't know her, but apparently my great grandma would sometimes act like she was some kind of royality from the past. This story reminded me of that.

>>17916567
I would agree with that but the thing is, the girl who claimed to be royalty was in her 20s/30s which is extremely young for Alzheimer's. It also doesn't explain why the particular noble woman she claimed to be also had an episode that matches hers.

I guess it could be mental illness & extreme luck but saying that almost seems more out there than just thinking that maybe they really were somehow involved in some bizarre time traveling freaky Friday deal
