Late Night Calming Drive

Certa noite, por volta das 21:30, minha esposa e eu decidimos sair para acalmar nosso filho de 6 anos, que estava agitado há um bom tempo em casa. Após acordar, ele chorava bastante. Todos entramos no carro, e saímos para tentar acalmá-lo. Tudo estava normal, e após alguns minutos, nosso filho estava mais tranquilo. Enquanto conversávamos e eu continuava dirigindo pela avenida, percebemos de repente que tínhamos perdido a noção do espaço e do tempo. Parecia que havíamos desaparecido do ponto inicial que lembrávamos e aparecido 100 metros adiante de onde deveríamos ter virado à esquerda. Ao perceber, estávamos distantes do trajeto que tínhamos em mente e normalmente seguiríamos. Ficamos confusos e até hoje não conseguimos lembrar como chegamos àquele ponto. Foi como se tivéssemos sido colocados de volta dentro do carro. Translated: One night, around 9:30 pm, my wife and I decided to go out to calm our 6-year-old son, who had been fussy at home for a while. After waking up, he cried a lot. We all got in the car, and went out to try to calm him down. Everything was normal, and after a few minutes, our son was calmer. As we talked and I continued driving down the avenue, we suddenly realized that we had lost track of space and time. It seemed that we had disappeared from the starting point we remembered and appeared 100 meters further from where we should have turned left. When we realized, we were far from the route we had in mind and would normally follow. We were confused and to this day we can't remember how we got to that point. It was as if we had been put back in the car.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
