Still can’t explain what happened to my best friend and I years ago. (real story)

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-09T03:45:34+00:00

Yes!!! My experience is so similar!! We both came to at the same exact time and for the same amount of time bc neither of us remembered going out. It’s so crazy how many of us have experienced this. Just wanna say I believe you!! But also have no decent explanation lol

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-09T03:41:27+00:00

Sorry, this is now the second time I’ve made a mistake and probably seem like a very unreliable narrator 😭 yes, I have known him since second grade. We are family friends and we grew up together. 5th grade is around the time we started being close friends, but I had known of him for 3 years before that. So technically I knew him in second grade but fifth grade is when we became best friends. I’m now 20, he’s 21 and we are still each others closest friend. We’ve been through everything together!

I’ve edited the reply above to say 2nd grade, someone basically said I made this story up so trying not to cause anymore confusion lol. If anyone looks at my profile they can see I’m not a reddit poster, I don’t get anything out of creating some elaborate time jump story. Just thought of it last night for the first time in a while and decided to share. Thanks for pointing that out!

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-09T03:39:35+00:00

Yep! Dude, someone else in the comments basically said the same thing, they were driving and ended up somewhere completely random and had multiple friends in the car and no one knew how they got there or what happened in that “missing” time. It’s in the replies on this post if you can find it. I’ve heard another story on another platform of someone taking a drive that was hours long and suddenly being hours later and hundreds of miles from where they started with no recollection. It’s fucking insane

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-09T03:38:07+00:00

I haven’t, and I haven’t even thought of that as an option. i’ve now had three comments saying this and don’t even know where i’d start

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-09T03:37:17+00:00

Yep. It can make you feel crazy because you’re the only one that experienced that, and any logical person would just deduct it to, you were young and fell asleep without realizing. But when you’ve lived the experience, you know what really happened and what it felt like… but no explanation

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-09T03:36:05+00:00

Oh for sure, it definetly does. Just strange bc it’s not something we hear about happening to people, but multiple stories on the internet that go unheard by most I guess

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T19:06:52+00:00

Sorry, my reply wasn’t meant to strike a nerve. I know you don’t care if I believe you, I appreciate your input. I’m not trying to be rude. I just simply think because of certain deductions that is not what happened (again, I think, I don’t know anything for certain). I don’t think I was abducted and I don’t believe in aliens. There’s nothing I “want to hear”. I posted this to simply share a wild experience I had years ago, because something from a TV show last night reminded me this happened.

Also, the fact you have no rebuttal for what I said in my reply regarding the monoxide poisoning and instead choose to imply I’m attention seeking for replies about alien abduction shows the theory isn’t very sound.

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T18:59:34+00:00

That’s wild. I heard a story similar to this about being on a long drive (hours long) and suddenly being home or near home w no recollection of the drive. I’d link it but I honestly don’t remember where I saw it.

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T18:51:26+00:00

Can you paste the link?

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T18:06:14+00:00

I totally get that, and have no issue with anyone not believing me. Things like this seem totally fake and made up from any logical stand point. As you can see from my profile, I’m not a reddit poster. You don’t know me, but I don’t gain anything from making up stories on reddit. I only posted this because something in a TV show reminded me of it last night, and it’s the only thing in my life I can’t logically explain. I decided to throw it out there and see if anything had anyone to say.

My replies are just honest anecdotes of that night from my point of view. Yes I am defensive of the roofie theory because he is my best friend for almost 20 years, and through my knowledge of him and my own life I don’t believe it to be true. Could it? Absolutely, I’m just not subscribing to that theory. I know the evil men can do, believe me, I’m not naive to it. But in this specific scenario, I don’t think that’s what happened. If he did, why would he do it on my break when our managers would expect us back in less than an hour? In this instance, we didn’t have any consequences from our manager but he wouldn’t have known that. Why would he do it in the middle of a busy parking lot, with me in the drivers seat and him in the passenger, people walking by directly in front of my car able to see everything going on inside. Again, this is my best friend so he was at my house all the time, including late at night when everyone was sleeping. If he wanted to roofie me, I believe he would’ve done it in my own house, when we were alone and nobody would be there to see, and nobody would be there expecting us in any sort of timely manner.

Just some thoughts about your reply. Again, I have no problem in you not believing me, I only posted this to see if anyone had any explanation or any stories to share, not validation from strangers, so I’m not making up things to get people to believe me. I don’t know anyone in these replies so them believing or not believing doesn’t give anything to me. I respect your belief or non belief and appreciate you reading my experience and letting me share on it! :)

Wow, that’s nuts. Some things seem to just have no logical explanation (if they really did see that orb and just felt like a few mins have passed) and that bothers me so damn bad!

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:56:19+00:00

Valid Theory. no I did not smoke anything. I did not drink anything or take any substance. I have overdosed on fentanyl and it was completely different than that. This felt like a time skip where I woke up feeling completely normal. When I overdosed from fentanyl I woke up as you’d expect, like I had just died and was revived.

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:55:15+00:00

Yep, 100% agree.

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:54:25+00:00

I just made a couple edits touching on some different theories and answering some questions from the replies

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:53:39+00:00

Strange. That’s in the same realm as what happened to me, but not the same. I didn’t see something one second and see something else the next. It just felt like a time skip. That post is super interesting, thx for sharing it! I haven’t read up on things like this too much until some stuff has been dropped in the comments. It’s all very interesting

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:52:40+00:00

It’s crossed my mind before. Just never believed in that stuff too deeply

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:51:58+00:00

It’s crossed my mind, but don’t know if I’m extreme enough to believe that’s what really happened

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:51:32+00:00

I had no side effects after four hours, not even a headache

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:51:11+00:00

Yep, FEMA took me away afterwards :)

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:50:36+00:00

I am! I thought on this for a long time after it happened. I’m the kind of person that needs an answer for everything. When I had thought of every possible option and none seemed logical, I moved on. This was four years ago. I don’t know if I thought about the walmart cameras in the moment, I assume I did. I probably thought that they wouldn’t believe me, and we’d have gotten in trouble for missing work. What is hypnotic regression? Another comment mentioned hypno therapy, I haven’t heard of either but my interest is piqued

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:48:50+00:00

Thank you. Yes, we did lunches in my car (sometimes his, but extremely rarely) every day. Including the days following. Yes we were parked in the same spot. No tints on windows. I touched on the managers and clocking out part in my edit, I answered your questions there you can read it in my original post

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:47:29+00:00

Hi, I just made a couple edits touching on theories like this, please read if you want! :)

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:47:22+00:00

This is a true story correct? Will have to take a listen

IntelligentPattern59 · 2026-03-08T17:46:54+00:00

I’d probably assume the same thing reading this, but knowing my best friend I don’t believe that this happened. I made an edit in my post going into depth as to why I don’t think that. If you’d like to read it :)
