Time slips don’t arrive with spectacle.
They happen quietly—on familiar roads, well-marked trails, and in places people believe they know.
In this episode of Let’s Talk Spooky, we explore the folklore, historical accounts, and modern experiences of time slips: moments when people report briefly stepping outside linear time. Across cultures and centuries, these encounters share the same unsettling details—sudden silence, altered landscapes, missing hours, and the instinctive certainty that staying would be a mistake.
We move from early folklore warnings about “thin places” and forbidden roads into documented case studies and contemporary accounts, including travelers who pass through villages that no longer exist and hikers who narrowly avoid stopping in places that feel profoundly wrong.
Fear appears to end the experience. Movement restores the world. And those who return are left with the same quiet certainty: something real happened, even if it cannot be explained.
This episode isn’t about proving time slips.
It’s about recognizing the patterns they leave behind—and what they suggest about how fragile the present moment may be.
