We've all had those moments where we pull a random memory out of the deep archives of our childhood, convinced we watched a specific TV show, but when we ask around or look it up online, it’s like it was completely wiped from existence. You start to feel like you completely hallucinated a core piece of your childhood afternoon routine.

For the longest time, I thought I imagined an old kids' show about a girl who had the bizarre ability to transform into a puddle of jelly (or something like that) after an accident with a truck full of chemicals. Whenever I mentioned it, people looked at me like I was making it up, turns out it was a US show called The Secret World of Alex Mack, but finding out it was real felt like unlocking a glitch in the matrix. Maybe because here it wasn't very famous, but I vividly remember watching it every afternoon on a very famous Tv channel.

My favourite is the one growing out of a church tower. Yews are normally planted in graveyards to prevent grazing but I wonder why this one was allowed to grow.
