Joanne Woodward
Joanne Woodward Alive Again for Third Time
Silvia
New York, USA

I got an interesting update in regard celebrity and Mandela effect! Or at least for me. Lol. As you are aware that I have either emailed and/or commented under your YouTube videos in regard to Jerry Stiller and Joanne Woodward. Jerry Stiller you remembered more than Joanne Woodward, yet when I shared the Mandela effect, you also remembered yet Joanne was more vague. I remembered telling you a couple of months ago that I was surprised Joanne Woodward had only recently died with Alzheimers, as I remember her having had died years before, and that she had a sharp mind all the way until the end of her life. Although you were vague in memory on her previous death report, you remembered hearing of her death before and agreed with me how it was probably an example of the Mandela effect. Well here is the interesting part: it turns out that while watching a video yesterday, I was surprised to hear that Joanne is still alive and yet still with Alzheimers. 'Still alive', I thought. And I had to google first, as it was only recently that she died before this current Mandela effect. It appears that she is still alive. This is my FIRST time experiencing this Mandela effect with the death of a celebrity more than twice. At least with Jerry that I only experienced the news of his death two times. It feels almost like repeated deja vu, yet even with deja vu where typically the scenario feels the same, not similar in regard how or when they die. Question: What is your take on it now that it is three times?

Note from Cynthia: Thanks for sharing with me your recent experience that Joanne Woodward was reported as having died twice now, and you've just noticed she's alive again.  Most of the "alive again" variety of Mandela Effects and reality shifts that have been reported so far to RealityShifters involve a person being alive again just one time, with two observed deaths--when such things are noticed. There are far fewer reports (so far) of people being observed alive again twice, with one would expect--a third reported death at some future point in time.  So my take on this is that this provides us with an excellent opportunity to sit up and take notice of a very special type of flip-flopping reality shift/ Mandela Effect, in which you have now witnessed several points of discontinuity between possible realities, going back and forth between ones where Joanne Woodward is alive and where she is dead.  If we wonder what is going on, and are open to envisioning that we likely exist in a relational cosmos, where no apparently "solid" matter is every truly solid unless and until observers relate to it, then we can truly marvel in wonder at how it might be that some of us can at various points observe someone alive or dead--and back again.  Apparently, there are no limitations upon what kind of Mandela Effect flip-flops we can experience.

Freeway Synchronicity
Bev
Austin, Texas, USA

Had to share. Maybe a coincidence but I doubt it. Last week I was on Interstate 35, positioned in the middle of three lanes, and behind a big truck which was blocking my view of the highway ahead. Suddenly the traffic came to a complete standstill. I35 is infamous for wrecks and long traffic jams, some lasting hours. After about 5 minutes, and with my car being low on gas, I thought of you and Reality Shifts. I then telepathically said, “I want this to move,” and I visualized it happening. In a heartbeat ALL three lanes of traffic began moving SIMULTANEOUSLY! Never have I seen vehicles across three lanes and a especially a truck (which always takes longer to get moving), begin to move at the same time and matching speed, it is always staggered. This was incredible. And as the traffic moved it kept on moving, never slowed down or stopped again.  I kept looking for what caused the jam but never saw anything, not a wreck, not a stranded motorist, nothing! I thought, wow, we really can manifest a different reality! How good can it get? It can get very good!!

Note from Cynthia: What a delightful reality shift experience this was!  We sometimes get similar freeway slow-downs here in California, so I can easily relate to your awe at witnessing all three lanes of traffic simultaneously begin to move--immediately after you clearly intended that you needed, wanted, and would love for this to be the case.  There's truly something powerful in being of one mind in such fashion, and I completely believe you that this happened, having witnessed similarly remarkable "coincidences" many times.  Thank you for sharing such a superb experience! 


Laney
Laney the Cat / Dog
Michelle
Adelaide, South Australia

I had a very strange experience a couple of years ago. The neighbours had a cat called Laney. She was a beautiful cat that used to visit me quite often. One day I noticed that I hadn't seen Laney for a while. I asked the neighbours if she was alright because she hadn't visited me for quite some time. They looked at me puzzled and said, "Laney is our dog (golden retriever). We have never had a cat called Laney" I tried not to looked shocked as I politely excused myself. I then raced home and looked through my phone to see if I had a photo of her. I still do! At least I still have that in this new reality. I don't know how, but I do. I have had A LOT of experiences of reality shifting, but this has by far been the strangest. Initially I thought I was going crazy, because I specifically remembered when I first met Laney. She was in my neighbour's front yard. He was outside watering. I asked him if it was his cat, to which he replied yes, and that her name was Laney. We chatted for a while and I told him about how she would often visit my house.  If it wasn't for my partner, who was equally as shocked as I was, I think I would have struggled with Laney's disappearance a lot more.  My partner wasn't living with me at the time, but used to visit every weekend and had personally met Laney "the cat” and also met Laney "the dog," and still can't believe what happened.

Note from Cynthia: Thank you so much for sharing your photo of Laney--what a sweetheart she was!  And what a fascinating type of reality shift this is.  One thing that is consistent with most reality shifts and Mandela Effects is a kind of "plausible deniability" or "uncertainty" with regard to some aspect of any kind of physical evidence or "residue."  From a quantum physics perspective, it makes sense that if we're to see any kind of carry-over physical evidence, such as a photograph, there will be some plausible rationalization.  In the case of this photograph, where your neighbors currently state they had a dog named Laney, impartial observers could easily accept the possible explanation that some other neighbor must have had this cat, who you thought was the "Laney" pet cat.  I find this super fascinating, since it seems this is why we often find "reality residue" for Mandela Effects such as Haas avocados in the form of something that could be attributed to a person typing or writing the name the way they think it should be, which some could just call an error.  Only those of use who remember Haas avocados and a cat named "Laney" would still be shaking our heads, and saying, "No, something really has changed."  That's wonderful that you remember when you first met Laney, and really comforting that your partner remembers Laney as a cat, too.  And it must feel really weird to have met both "Laney" the cat, and "Laney" the dog, especially since officially there was only Laney the dog. 


Song that Doesn't Exist
Nancy
Lexington, Kentucky, USA

I'm not sure if this is a reality shift or not, maybe the song is out of print.  I've tried looking on the lyric websites, but can't find it. In 1988 and 1989, when I was in junior high school, I participated in a choral workshop at the University of Kentucky.  10 students from 25 junior high schools in Lexington were chosen.  I still remember the titles of some of the songs we sang:  Send Down the Rain, Hoedown, If You Say My Eyes are Beautiful.  There is one song that I can't remember the title of, but just the other day, I could hear it playing in my head and remember the lyrics:
Basses/baritones/tenors- Alleluia
Altos-Alleluia
Sopranos-Alleluia
whole choir-Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
(Repeat Alleluia)
(Repeat Rejoice)
Sing it out from the mountaintops, Freedom is the call
Sing it out from the mountaintops, listen one and all
Sing it out from the mountaintops, freedom is for all
Basses/Baritones/tenors- Freedom
Altos-Freedom
Sopranos-Freedom
Light My way
(repeat Freedom)
Light today
(repeat freedom)
Rescue Me
(repeat freedom)
Darkness flee
(repeat Alleluia 3 times)
(whole choir at the end) ALLELUIA!


Note from Cynthia: With regard to trying to find a song that doesn't seem to exist, I can totally relate to this.  I've had a similar experience trying to track down a children's illustrated book that I read in the 1970s, and have been searching for off and on for decades.  I figure it may show up at some point, as if it was always there--or perhaps not.  I certainly can relate to your having heard a song with lyrics you clearly remember, that now seems to have never existed.  Now, thanks to social media and websites like realityshifters dedicated to sharing these things, we have a much better chance of finding other people who may share our memories.  And I love the way you remember some of the lyrics from this song so clearly!


Childrens Book that Doesn't Exist
Nancy
Lexington, Kentucky, USA

I'm not sure if this is a reality shift, either.  It may just be out of print.  I've tried looking up passages from it online, but can't find it. When I was in 5th grade in 1986 and 1987, I read a book about a boy named Henry and a talking panda.  I can't remember the name of it, but can remember parts from it: The panda is either from another time period, planet, or dimension.  He has seasonal allergies and eats "scooter pies", which are moon pies, to control them.   Henry tries to hide the panda, but can't because his sneezes are so loud.  One day, when his family hears it, Henry says, "I must have left the radio on in my room.  They're having a sneezing contest on the radio station.  They had a belching contest on there last week, and you should have heard who won!"  His father tells him to turn the radio off before he comes down to eat. His family finds out about the panda, though, and aren't even mad.  His mother gives him a box of scooter pies. Later on, Henry runs away with the panda because the government has found out about him and try to get him back to where he came from.  At the end of the story, a flying saucer beams the panda up and takes him home, and Henry never sees him again. Sorry I don't remember any more than that; it was kind of a weird book.


Note from Cynthia: I love how clearly you can recall the details from this children's book that apparently no longer exists, despite your having such specific recollections regarding the plot, characters, and various scenes.  This book you describe really does sound weird, and in that respect, it has much in common with the strange children's book that I remember having seen in the late 1960s early 1970s, though it's a very different book.  The book I remember was odd in the sense that the entire story was told without words, and simply with black and white pen and ink drawings of tiny characters involved in a story that unfolded purely in visual fashion from page to page.  The children's book you remember that now seems to have never existed is so specific, that people search for key words including things like "panda," "scooter pie" and "sneezing contest" could quickly find any possible matches, and that's a good thing!  It means at some point, we may find other people who also remember this children's book that now never was.


Actor Robert Morse Died in 1998?
Nancy
Lexington, Kentucky, USA

I can't even remember an exact date or how he even "died", all I know is that the year was 1998.  My parents and I were watching the news when the story came on that he had died.  My dad was upset because he liked his work, and that he was the same age as he was. Maybe he fell victim to the internet celebrity death hoax that is still going on today. Thanks!


Note from Cynthia: Thanks for sharing the report of remembering that American actors and singer, Robert Morse, died around 1998.  That's one that I don't recall, but I can see that apparently now in September 2021, Robert Morse is alive and well, thank goodness.  Most of the reports of people being Alive Again, which is essentially how the Mandela Effect got its name, after Nelson Mandela, occur for the very reason that we're most likely to observe such reality shifts out in the periphery of our attentional focus.  Close friends, colleagues, and family members who we see very often and are closely entangled with tend to not be noticed dead and then alive again, probably because of the frequency with which we interact with them.  In quantum physics, there is something called the Quantum Zeno Effect, which is a process by which very frequent observations can tend to lock a quantum system in place--so that if someone is alive, they would tend to stay alive, in this case.  Those areas not being closely observed have greater freedom in quantum systems to fluctuate--which appears to be what we are witnessing in cases of celebrities being noted as deceased, such as I noticed the actor Larry Hagman having died, and I mention this in my book, Reality Shifts, first published in the 1990s.  If this had been the first official such report and if people around the world were as amazed as I was that Larry Hagman was back alive, we might today have the "Hagman Effect," rather than the "Mandela Effect."
