We have all heard about stories of people getting ghosted on dating apps but have you ever encountered an account of someone coming across a ghost on a dating app? Recently, such an astounding incident has captured widespread attention on the internet.
Who Was The Man Who Matched With His Dead Wife On Tinder?
According to a report by the Daily Mail, the man behind the story was identified as Derek, who resides in London, UK.
What Happened?
A person recounted that his late wife initiated a conversation with him on a dating app.
As per reports, the man's wife, who had passed away two years earlier, unexpectedly began a conversation with him on a dating platform, leaving the husband in a state of disbelief for several months, grappling to understand how such an unlikely meet-up could transpire.
Where Was This Story First Mentioned?
He gathered the courage to narrate his tale on the Ghost Hans Podcast, which swiftly gained traction and went viral on TikTok.
How Did He Encounter The Ghost Of His Dead Wife?
On the podcast, Derek said, ¡°It¡¯s been two years since my wife Alison passed away. She succumbed to cervical cancer. But one day, I was dumbfounded to see her profile on Tinder. In one of the pictures, she was smiling and looking at me.¡±
He added, ¡°I quickly glanced at the profile; there was no written information, but there were three pictures of my late wife that I had never seen before. I was utterly shocked.¡±
Derek went on to say, ¡°Without a second thought, I swiped right. I held my breath for about two minutes. I couldn¡¯t sleep for the next two days. I had never received any matches on Tinder before.¡±
Why Did He Believe It Was His Wife?
Initially, he had suspicions that it could be a prank, considering the possibility that someone might have used his wife's pictures to make a fake account. Nevertheless, his uncertainties washed away when he received a message on Tinder at 3:33 a.m.
The message read a simple "Hey!" Derek swiftly replied, seeking an explanation for the situation and inquiring about the source of his wife's photographs. However, there was no response for the subsequent 24 hours, until finally, a message arrived which read, ¡°Are you at home? I¡¯m standing outside. Please let me in.¡±
This freaked Derek out. ¡°Afterwards, I heard the main door of the house close, and out of fear, I went and lay down on the bed. Then another message came: ¡®You¡¯re on Tinder too early, Derry.¡¯ Only my wife used to call me by that name, Derry. Nobody else even knew it. After a while, I sensed someone entering the bedroom. I was so frightened that I finally said, ¡®Alison, I¡¯m sorry. I love you, and I miss you. It¡¯s been two years, and I have to move on now,¡¯¡± recalled the mourning partner.?
He understood that someone was outside the door, but when he looked, no one was there. When he went back to the bedroom, he saw that Alison's profile had been removed. Until now, he cannot fathom how his wife appeared at that moment.
