During the last few hundred years tales periodically emerge of people thrust into another reality. Sometimes they awake in another world that at first glance seems the same until they notice subtle changes. Other times transported people are rudely catapulted into ?somewhere else? and escape only after a series of disturbing, sometimes terrifying, incidents.

The strange case of Pedro Oliva Ramirez from Alcal? de Guadaira, a town some miles southeast of Seville, Spain has been documented by researcher Joaquin Mateos Nogales. Like all other multiverse teleportations, Ramirez?s astounding experience is beyond the understanding of current science ?

According to the account provided by journalist Angel Carretero Olmedo, Spaniard Pedro Oliva Ramirez is a successful industrial engineer, an educated man who is no stranger to bizarre events in his life.

At age 17, Ramirez had a UFO experience, one of millions of people who?ve seen UFOs around the world for untold centuries.

Years after his sighting of an unknown craft, Ramirez drove home to the town of Alcal? de Guadaira on a narrow country road running from Seville where he had gone on a business trip.

Sometime after 11 p.m. Ramirez navigated a curve in the road and was shocked when the highway ahead of him suddenly became a wide boulevard six lanes across?three lanes in either direction. Having driven the road in the past, Ramirez knew he had not taken a wrong turn somewhere. He also knew this road shouldn?t exist along the route he drove along.

Abruptly, the terrain changed. Huge industrial factories appeared in the distance and farther away Ramirez made out what appeared to be apartment or condo high rises. He estimated their height as twenty stories. He also noticed thin, tall grass along a greenbelt on either side of the highway.

As he drove, the engineer began experiencing an unaccountable sensation of rising heat. He thought he heard distant voices. Among the jumble of voices he recalls he heard?or sensed?one voice informing him he?d been teleported to another land.

Afraid to stop anywhere in the alien countryside, Ramirez kept driving. As he drove, cars larger than his whizzed by him in the other lanes. Later, he described the cars as appearing like outdated, older Cadillacs. Every one of them was either white or beige. They had something like license plates, but the plates were dark, narrow rectangles. Nothing like the plates issued in Spain.

Finally, after driving many miles, he worked up the courage to pull off the side of the road. According to Ramirez, he explored the roadside. All he could see in the light provided by his headlights was the grassy greenbelt stretching out on the side of the roadway.

After another hour of driving he stopped and looked about again.

More grass.

Eventually Ramirez arrived at a turnoff on his left. He took it.

The road and surrounding terrain changed abruptly. About 30 minutes after turning onto the new road he came upon a sign that pointed the ways to the Spanish cities of Alcabala, Malaga, and Seville.

Choosing the road that led back to Seville, he drove for a short while and then suddenly stopped the car in astonishment. To his immediate left was his home in the town of Alcal? de Guadaira.

Later he discovered he was unable to find the crossroads that mysteriously led him back home that eerie night. Nor did he ever find the six-lane highway again. It didn?t appear on any map and no one he asked about it had ever heard of such a highway.

Normally, the traveling distance between Seville and Alcal? de Guadaira takes about 30 minutes. Ramirez drove for more than three hours. He also burned much more gasoline than normal for such a short trip.

People can be thrust from our reality into another. And conversely, people from elsewhere end up here, confused, frightened, sometimes deperate.

Convenient.

Tequila has often lead me to eventful nights, too.

I'll second that... In most cases nudity is my "final destination" :p

i love these stories. it's like, no one's going to believe you, but so what? i mean, a story like this is just like reading a fiction book. nice read, that's it.

Yeah, why not film it with a smartphone !

good point, the first thing I would do is get out my phone and video/take a picture. Or else I know no one will believe me.

Interesting read but...

Says who?

If you've read Fortean Times stories and others, you'll see cases of people showing up with no idea of who they are -- no history.

Or they have a 'history' that does not seem to match this reality.

Assuming someone has a Smartphone, video cam with them, that it is daylight, that they weren't too dazed to use it.

Even then, most people (like Neowinians) would have the knee-jerk reaction that it was fake, simply because of the tiny size of their minds. ;)

I could believe that other dimensions exists and I could believe at certain times a doorway might appear for a short period of time to lead one to that other dimension. I just don't think people would be able to visit there and then come back.

    • Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.
    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
