Drip with no source
Post Body

This happened about a year ago, but it dawned on me that someone looking for glitches might be interested in the expierence. Certainly if anyone else has witnessed something like this, I would love to know.

So what happened is very simple. I was doing laundry at my college, and naturally went to the laundry room. On this particular day a machine error has flooded the room, leaving a puddle of maybe 1/2" to 1" or so of water depending on where one stepped.

I noticed that, in this puddle, there was a drip. Just as if a faucet was leaking above it, rings emanated from one area of the water, and no others. I was the only one in the room.

I thought it was odd, because I saw no water source for the drip. I looked closer, as close as I could, and the effect continued, in that one singular spot of the room. What really freaked me out was when I put my hand directly above it. The drip persisted, and little rings of water kept emanating semi-rhythmically from the spot. I looked at the ceiling, absolutley nothing. No draft. There was only tile floor under the water in every direction. I still for the life of me cannot figure this one out. I know that somewhere on my phone I took footage of the drip, which I cannot for the life of me find. I'm sure that sounds a bit "fake," but I think it may be saved somewhere weird, like a snapchat memory or something. Possibly it was deleted by accident, I'm always running out of space, which would be a bummer. But I was stone cold sober, just doing my laundry, I am quite confident that what I have described here is what I saw.

Edit: after writing this little reflection after so much time, I tried hard to look for the video. I could not find it. But I do know that I examined the video several times and it absolutely showed circles emanating from water, and showed clearly that my hand above it did nothing to stop it despite being totally unaffected by anything at all. So, as far as I am concerned, the phenomona itself was proven, but I realise this is not satisfying to one who was not there. It was truly unbelievable, I will say that. I spent a long time sitting with it, and honestly I feel deeply lucky to have witnessed something utterly unexplainable. Also, it is worth noting that the pattern of a water faucet drip is one phenomona of nature which actually resembles "randomness," I believe it even has something to do with the mandelbrot set. I know that the disturbances to the water occured just in this kind of irregular-but-regular way, it was unmistakably a fluid intervention that would have been the cause of it if it was natural. There were absolutley no other forces, and most incrediblely, no other disturbances anywhere on the water. Just stillness. This little event has been something I have never shared, but it has opened my mind to the possibilities of reality outside of what can be predicted or understood. It was certainly as beautiful as it was spooky.
