PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THEY’VE ACTUALLY TIME TRAVELED: True Stories and Urban Legends

PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THEY’VE ACTUALLY TIME TRAVELED: True Stories and Urban Legends

When a mother heard her own voice from five hours earlier coming through her baby monitor, she realized she was witnessing something that shouldn't be possible—a tear in time itself. What would you do if you walked into a movie theater and suddenly jumped three hours forward, or if your car transported 20 miles in an instant to escape a traffic stop? A Victorian man appears in 1950s Times Square, two women slip back to Marie Antoinette's era, and a father and son lose an entire day in five minutes. These people swear they've experienced time slips, dimensional rifts, and impossible jumps through time—and their stories might make you question reality itself.

They are all science fiction tropes that have reached the point of being cliché. But then what do you tell someone who says they have truly done those things? We’re going to look at some fascinating stories of people who claim to have somehow traveled through time or to another dimension.

NECROPOLIS RAILWAY: London’s Secret Death Trains – 87 Years of Transporting Corpses

NECROPOLIS RAILWAY: London’s Secret Death Trains – 87 Years of Transporting Corpses

In 1854, London built a railway with first-class tickets for corpses, separate carriages for different religions, and trains that carried thousands of bodies out of the overcrowded city for nearly a century. Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate Take the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/survey IN THIS EPISODE: Deep in the bowels of London is a railway built to serve not the living citizens of the city above… but of the dead below. (Railway of the Dead) *** 
Sometimes they are kind towards humans, even assisting them if in distress, or giving gifts. But some consider them lustful and evil, and still others claim they are the risen dead of brutally killed women. And there are reports of them being seen even today. We’ll look at the history and lore of mermaids. (Mythical Mermaids) *** For years, Country singer Johnny Horton told friends of a premonition he couldn't shake. A premonition of his own death. Not just THAT he would be killed… but HOW. And he was eerily accurate. And that wasn’t the end of his tragic story. (The Last Ride of Johnny Horton) *** Camping can be an amazing experience, especially when with friends or family. But even surrounded by those you love, when it gets dark, the wilderness gets creepy. Was that just an animal in the woods you heard, or something more? Was that blur you just saw a trick of the light or is there really something circling your campsite? I’ll share some true stories of campers who experienced much more than what they bargained for.
