On the Glitch in the Matrix subreddit, there are many examples of time stopping.

Here is an example:

Something felt really weird, my parents were like frozen up (not moving completely) my dad had the mouth open and my mom a really weird gesture, my brother and I just saw them for a second or so completely weird out, after talking to them they moved and seemed normal. Immediately after I turned to my side and the car parallel to our lane about 10 ft away seemed to also be frozen up, like when as a kids we played statues and stayed frozen in awkward body positions. My parents by now “unfrozen” just opened their mouth completely surprise, I looked back and about 10 cars in all directions were also frozen even in the middle of the intersection. My window was down and it was a windy day, but I can swear even the air stopped.

I'm not sure what to think of this, I can't seem to find any news reports of time momentarily stopping (and multiple people experienced this at once, such as in the linked example).

    Time stopped for everything, except a couple of observers?? – hdhondt Feb 08 '20 at 22:46

    @hdhondt time stopped for everyone in the area, except for the person who posted the story, his parents, and his brother, who was also in the car with him. –  Feb 08 '20 at 22:56
  • No, his parents were frozen too, so there was just the two observers. – Oddthinking Feb 08 '20 at 23:06
  • Thanks for the correction, I read the story last night, so my memory of it's a little fuzzy, I do remember his parents exclaimed something along the lines of ''what was that?'' when they became unfrozen. –  Feb 08 '20 at 23:39

So, we are presented with a choice. Do we accept that:

  1. this random reddit user (and his family) have encountered an astonishing array of multiple examples of very rare (read: nonexistent) paranormal activity, that violate the most trusted laws of physics, but with no evidence to present except his word?

  2. this random reddit user likes to partake in the age-old practice of making up ghost stories?

Occam's razor would suggest the latter is the one to provisionally accept, until some actual evidence is provided.
