65: Interdimensional Traveler from a Parallel Universe: The Man from Taured
Imagine you wake up one morning and notice everything around you is just a tiny bit different. Maybe you're in the same house, but furniture is slightly out of place. Your favorite coffee mug is there, but it has a crack you don't remember. You could have sworn your coffee maker was black, but this one is chrome. Just as you think you're going crazy, you feel a strange tingling sensation; and hear a buzzing in your ears. A flash of light; the buzzing stops, and you feel dizzy. As you regain your balance, you look around. Everything seems back to normal. The coffee maker *is* black, your mug is *not* cracked. What was that? A dream, your imagination? It seemed so real. Are you just overtired? Are you going crazy? Or maybe, you somehow slipped through the multiverse. For a brief moment, you switched lives with yourself in an alternate reality. There are documented cases of this happening to people all over the world. Usually, the differences between realities are small. But every once in a while, the changes are so different, that you're another person entirely. This happened to a man traveling through a Tokyo airport. When he presented his passport, the authorities were baffled. The passport was genuine, the only problem was, the country that issued it? It didn't exist. ---- SUPPORT THE WHY FILES & GET A WHOLE BUCKET O' PERKS 🙏https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thewhyfiles/support
