Time slips … real, fake, or something in between?

In this episode of the Wondering Monsters Podcast, we explore the strange and unsettling phenomenon known astime slips… brief moments where reality appears to shift and someone finds themselves in another era.

From the famousMoberly-Jourdain incident at Versaillesto the recurring reports onBold Street in Liverpool, we examine some of the most compelling time slip cases ever recorded. Why do these experiences almost always send people into the past? Are certain locations "thin spots" in time? And could these events be connected to folklore, liminal spaces, or even modern physics?

We also discuss:

• The Bold Street time slip phenomenon
• The Versailles / Marie Antoinette encounter
• A chilling Midwest dinosaur sighting
• Japanese folklore and Omagatoki
• (the twilight hour of spirits)
• The block universe theory of time
• Haunted buildings and "ghost architecture"
• Credible witnesses and the psychology of extraordinary experiences
• Whether time is a flowing river… or a fixed landscape

Are time slips literal glitches in spacetime? A perceptual overlap with another era? A modern version of fairy lore? Or something else entirely?

Time is stranger than we think and it might not move the way we assume.

If time is a landscape… could you accidentally step into the wrong place?

Listen now and decide for yourself.
