This happened to me when I was younger, I'm 21 now but at the time I was 14 or 15. I was on holiday with my parents and sister and was staying in this apartment for a couple weeks. This was a regular thing we would do every two or three years, so it was my second time staying in this place specifically but had been here a bunch of times before so I was familiar with the town itself. I was staying with my younger sister in our room and my parents had their own separate room. The apartment was pretty spacious, it had a kitchen and nice living area and then the two rooms and a bathroom. Nothing about the place was unsettling at all, it actually felt nice and like a home away from home. This happened at night, when me and my sister were in our room in bed. She was already asleep and I'm pretty sure I was watching something on my phone. I like to stay up late most nights, and go to sleep when everyone else is already asleep and this was no different. I turned my phone off, rolled over to my side and looked up at the window to our room. It's the middle of August in Spain so we were pretty warm basically every day and the nights were just as bad if not worse so every night I just checked to see if the window had been left open. I looked and saw it was, then closed my eyes with the intention to sleep even though I wasn't really tired. When I did though, I heard almost like wind rushing past my ears for about five seconds. It wasn't deafening but I heard it like I had my head out of the car window. Then after about five seconds I opened my eyes again expecting and it was around midday the next day. It didn't feel like I was waking up, it just felt like I closed my eyes and then opened them, and it was the next day. I know what you're thinking but I did not fall asleep, it didn't feel like that when I closed my eyes or when I opened them. I also almost always dream when I sleep, and this was just a couple seconds of darkness with that weird sound. I was young and I think if I thought about it for too long I'd start to panic, so I ignored it for the rest of the trip. Its never happened to me again even when I went back to that same apartment, but I'll still never forget it. It really felt I had just skipped the night and went straight to the next day.

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?
