This is Renegade Files Episode 108, Simulation Theory: Time Skips, NPC Encounters, and Glitches in the Matrix


In this episode we examine the growing reports of time skips, duplicated events, identity doubles, frozen behaviors, and strange continuity slips.


The digital age has created an environment where small anomalies are recorded rather than forgotten. Doorbell cameras, dash cams, and short video clips have captured scenes that look like corrections, loops, and edits. Meanwhile, online communities have catalogued stories of missing minutes, repeated sequences, and individuals observed twice in impossible time frames.


Philosophers, psychologists, and physicists have offered different interpretations, but none settle the matter.


If you are drawn to paranormal investigations, high strangeness, simulation theory, and digital folklore, this episode gives you an organized look at a phenomenon that does not fit easily into any category.


Listen now to explore the strange seams in the world, where time, memory, and perception slip out of alignment.

Q: What is a glitch in the matrix?

A: A glitch in the matrix refers to events where reality appears to repeat, skip, or duplicate in ways that challenge normal time and perception.


Q: Are glitch in the matrix events real?

A: Glitch events are reported by real witnesses and documented through video clips, community reports, and personal testimony. Explanations vary from perception to Simulation Theory.


Q: Can reality produce timeline errors?

A: Timeline errors describe short sequences where time appears to duplicate or skip. Some are captured on video, but scientific explanations remain debated.
