I had a minor incident occur to me several years ago. It was winter and I was sitting in my car stopped in traffic. I was watching the white exhaust of the car ahead of me when, just for a moment, the swirl of the exhaust seemed to go into reverse. Then, after a second or two, the forward motion resumed. I realize the wind may have been playing tricks but, it looked absolutely like someone momentarily hit the 'rewind' button.
An earlier poster suggested that minor timeslips might occur all the time - we just don't notice them. Perhaps this was an example of such a phenomenon.
Had an experience a few years back, in which we still can’t explain or account for a lost hour.
In the spring of 2005, the wife and I were holidaying in south Devon, we rented a large cottage for the week, in a rural location - approx. 5 miles from village of Moreleigh.
Our first night there, we ate dinner in the village pub, and afterwards spent a pleasant evening, sitting at the bar with drinks chatting to the locals.
The barmaid rang the last orders bell at precisely 10.50pm ( I double checked this with the time on my mobile phone.)
10 minutes later the barmaid rang the last bell, so we finished our drinks and said goodnight.
I checked the time as we left the pub and it was 11.07pm.
We drove back to the cottage without stopping, so should have got there around 11.30 at the very latest.
Not long after we got back ( literally a minute or two ) my wife pointed out that the clock hanging above the living rooms mantelpiece said 12.25am.
I said the clock is obviously wrong, but when I took out my mobile phone to check, it said……..12.25am.
So that’s over an hour, for only a 5 mile drive ( and no we did not get lost, it was a straight road back to the cottage - no turn offs.
We still can’t work it out – any ideas…?
