“This Woman Vanished for 7 Years—When She Came Back, She Said She’d Been Living in 1993”

In 2016, 28-year-old Marissa Lane left her apartment in Seattle to pick up Thai food. She never came back.

No phone call. No note. No signs of struggle. Her wallet was still on her kitchen counter. The curry was never picked up.

For seven years, her case baffled investigators. Friends mourned. Her parents never stopped putting up posters. But then, in October 2023, something impossible happened:

She walked into a police station in Montana—wearing clothes from the early ’90s, clutching a Lisa Frank notebook, and insisting the year was 1993.

“I was walking through the park,” she told police, “and the sky flickered.”

That’s when everything got strange.

Marissa claimed she entered “a place between places”—a small town where the radio only played 90s music, everyone watched VHS tapes, and no one had ever heard of TikTok, COVID-19, or smartphones. According to her, the people there were “stuck,” repeating the same routines over and over.

She said she escaped only after she found a mirror that wasn’t really a mirror—but a kind of “window.” When she stepped through it, she was suddenly in the woods outside Missoula. Her clothes had changed. Her skin was weathered. Her phone, missing for 7 years, was now completely melted in her jacket pocket.


Doctors were baffled. Her fingerprints matched. Her dental records matched. But her bloodwork?

It showed strange anomalies. Elevated levels of a hormone no one could identify. Her internal clock—measured by telomere length—suggested she was biologically only 29, despite having vanished at 28… seven years ago.

The government got involved. Then, they told the press it was “a case of mistaken identity.”

But leaked footage from a hospital camera showed Marissa screaming in a room filled with static on every screen. In one clip, she writes “it’s still watching” on the wall with a marker.

Then she vanished again. This time, from a locked hospital room.


The only clue left behind? A sticky note on the window:

“Tell them to stop using mirrors.”

This story has been scrubbed from most official news outlets. But survivors on Reddit’s r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix are still tracking new sightings of people who “slipped” between time zones.
