FALSE MEMORIES

FALSE MEMORIES

As Lerina García left her bed she noticed the sheets and bedclothes were strange. She didn't recognize them. Still shaking off the last vestiges of sleep, however, she simply shrugged away the eerie discovery and began her morning routine.

Everything most precious to her was gone

But García would soon learn that once she'd left that slightly alien bed she entered another reality. Her life, her past—everything most precious to her—was gone.

As she went through the routines of her first day ishe noticed small incongruities: things out of place, items missing or items she hadn't purchased.

As she later wrote on the Internet seeking someone to offer an explanation for her nightmarish dilemma and maybe offering help: "One day I woke up and found that everything was different—nothing spectacular or having to do with time travel and such things. I simply woke up in the same year and day on which I went to bed, but many things were different. They were small things, but sufficiently important to know that there was a point at which everything was different."

Lerina's writings on the Internet relating her story are recounted in the Spanish language site revistadigitalavalon. The English translation is here.

Not everything was small. Although her car seemed the same and she still worked at the same company she had for 20 years, in the same building, she was shocked to learn her department no longer listed her. Her office was now in another department in a completely different part of the building.

As the level of strangeness escalated, she dealt with her hesitancy and surprise by telling co-workers she wasn't feeling well. She shares her first day on an alien Earth:

“Four months ago I awoke on a normal morning. I was in my rented home where I’d been living for seven years. Everything was the same, except that my bed linen was different, and I paid no attention at the time.

"So I went to work in my car, which was parked where I’d always parked, and it was the same office I’d worked in for the last 20 years. But when I got to my department, it wasn’t my department. It has names on the door and mine wasn’t on it. I thought I was on the wrong floor, but no, it was my own floor. I went over to the office’s wireless section and looked myself up. I still worked there, but in another department, reporting to a superior I didn’t even know.

"So I went to the department indicated in the directory, said I was feeling ill, and left. All the contents of my handbag were the same: my credit cards, my ID, everything, but I didn’t recall having changed departments at any time.

"I went to the doctor and underwent drug and alcohol testing…all clean.

"I returned to work the next day and was able to make my way by asking questions and saying that I wasn’t feeling well."

Lover disappears, old beau remains

“I’ve been separated from my partner of seven years for some six months. We broke up and I started a relationship with a fellow from my neighborhood. I know him perfectly well, having been with him for four months. I know his name, surname, address, where he works, his son from another relationship, and where he studies.

"Well, that fellow no longer exists. He appeared to have existed before my 'jump' but there is no trace of him now.

"I’ve hired a detective to find him and he does not exist.

"I’ve visited a psychiatrist and its all been put down to stress. He thinks they’re hallucinations, but I know this isn’t the case. My former boyfriend is with me as though nothing had happened—apparently we never broke it off [in this world]—and Agustín (my current boyfriend) appears to have never existed. He doesn’t live in the apartment he used to live at and I cannot find his son.

"I swear to you that it's true and that I’m very sane. My own family doesn’t remember things like surgery performed on my sister’s shoulder a few months ago: she says she's never been operated on. Small things to that effect."

Yes, just small things. 

A plaintive plea

As can be imagined, Lerina's traumatic life  is causing her bouts of stress and depression. She ends her story with a plea for help:

"Please, if someone has had a similar experience, please contact me to see what may have happened.

"I cannot find any pathology that matches my experience. For five months I’ve been reading all of the theories I’ve come across and am convinced that it has been a jump between planes or something, a decision or action taken that has caused things to change.

This story is transcribed from a forum where this woman named Gordo Garcia Lerina using the pseudonym of Light left a message for someone to help on 16/07/2008 18:38 Below is the text that I leave in the forum: 

Hello, my name is Luz, I have 41 years and I think I jumped to a parallel universe. I find it hard to tell because everyone will think I'm a psychotic, and nobody will believe me. Please, if anyone has had a similar experience to write me an email. "One day I woke up and everything was different, nothing spectacular or anything to do with time travel and all that stuff, I just got up in the same year and the same day I went to bed but many things were different. It's little things, but important enough to know that at one point there was a turning point in which things are different. In fact, if this is a dream you are all in a dream, as I write this there, so if someone replies is that you are living the same reality as me, be my dream or not. 

4 months ago I woke up a normal morning, I was in my rental house where he lived for 7 years, everything was the same except that the set of sheets on my bed that was different, I did not care at the time. Well, went to my office, my car, parked where ever, and was the same office where I worked in the past 20 years. But when I got to my office was not my office, has the names on the door and mine was not. I thought I had the wrong floor but no, it was mine. I got to my office wireless area and I looked, was still working there but was in another department reporting to a director who did not even know, I went to the office that marked the directory, I said I was sick and left. Everything in my portfolio was the same, my cards, my ID, all the same, but I do not remember having changed department at any time. I went to medical insurance and I was tested for drugs and alcohol ... everything clean. I went to work the next day, and asking, saying he did not feel well, well, I've been out of step. 

My apartment is the same, all the same, I have looked all papers that I keep in the house and everything is the same. Soon I realized that something was wrong I thought it was some kind of amnesia, that maybe I had missed something and not remember a time in my life, but no, I went online and was the day it should be, and news, at least cover the important were the same as the previous day. 

6 months ago I'm not with my partner of 7 years, we left and I started a relationship with a guy in my neighborhood. I know him well, I've been 4 months with him and know his name, address, where he works as a child you have and where he studied.Well, that guy there is not anywhere now. It seems that existed before my 'jump' but now no trace, I hired a detective to look for him and there in this 'flat'. I went to a psychiatrist and attribute it to stress, believed to be hallucinations, but I know not. My ex-boyfriend is with me as usual, I've never left it seems, and Augustine (my boyfriend now) seems to never have existed here, he does not lives in the apartment where he lived and I cannot meeting his son. I swear it's real, I am very sane. My own family does not remember things as an operation on the shoulder of my sister a couple of months, they say she have never operated, and little things like that. Unfortunately I do not remember many important things in the news, but the rest of the world seems to be the same. 

There are many little things in the past five months and now many, nonsense, clothes in my closet that I have not bought, posts on the blog or a radio show I had with my ex (which is still my boyfriend now)... I don't want putting nonsense .... I do not know but I'm really sure it has been real. 

PLEASE if anyone has gone something like that contact me, to see what could have happened, I find no pathology that matches what has happened to me. I've been five months reading all the theories I've found and I am convinced it was a leap between planes... Sure, ..that it is in the year, and why I have not jumped to another time, I am exactly the same. To explain, it's like I lost the memory 5 months ago and I woke up having dreamed those 5 months, except that everyone remembers me at the time, and done things that I am not conscious of having done. Do you experience something like? 

Please refrain funny and people who have 'the truth' in his hand. It is very serious for me. 
Thanks  Light

MY VERDICT: VERY RARE CASE OF AMNESIA WITH FALSE MEMORIES (NOT OTHER UNIVERSES ETC)

------------------------------------------------------

OTHER MYSTERIOUS CASES

An impossible visitor arrives in Tokyo

A curious incident took place in Tokyo, Japan during the early 1990s: a man arrived on a flight with a passport from a non-existent country.

The man expressed anger and shock when Japanese customs officials detained him. Although the officials checked their records carefully, the passport had been issued by a country that did not exist. No record showed the country had ever existed.

Although passports exist issued by non-existent countries (known as camouflage passports), this passport was real and had custom officials' stamps on various pages including stamps by Japanese customs officials from previous visits.

The man was well-traveled, caucasian, said the country was in Europe and had existed for almost 1,000 years. He carried legal currency from several European countries, an international drivers license and spoke several languages.

Finally, indignant, he demanded a meeting with higher government authorities. He was convinced some massive practical joke was being played on him.

After being detained for almost 14 hours in a small security room at the airport terminal, some government officials took pity on him and transported him to a hotel. They ordered the mystery visitor to wait there until they decided what to do about the matter. From the reports, the Japanese were just as confused and flustered as the mysterious man without a country.

Although two immigration officials were posted with instructions not to permit the man to leave his room, the next morning the guards discovered he was gone. The only exit was the door they watched and the only window had no outside ledge and was 15 stories above a busy downtown street.

The authorities launched an intensive manhunt throughout Tokyo for the mysterious traveler, but finally gave up the hunt

The man was never seen again.

The professor's drive into oblivion

Inexplicata relates a story that is like Lerina's, except from the opposite point of view.

The original account was written by journalist Segundo Peña and published in one of Venezuela’s biggest newspapers,El Tiempo.

Peña relates a strange tale that smacks heavily of a multiverse shift. The incident occurred on the campus of ULA (the University of the Andes) and involved a well-known faculty member.

This is what happened in full daylight, according to dozens of witnesses: the professor left one of the university's buildings, crossed a parking lot to his parked car, and entered it. Many saw him as he walked to his car, some even called out to him and waved.

The professor opened his car door, climbed in, sat down, and closed the door. The car sat there unmoving. Eventually, a few curious students went to the car and found it empty.

The professor had vanished, presumably for good, as the incident occurred more than 40 years ago.
