Google Maps has caught a mum standing in exact same spot nine years apart in an eerie 'glitch in the Matrix'

Leanne Cartwright says she was 'flabbergasted' when her husband, Richard Cartwright, sent her the pic where she saw the identical shot to the one the tech giant had taken of her nine years earlier.

As well as being on the exact same spot, even down to the same paving slab, the 41-year-old is carrying her bags in same way.

The first image shows trouser-clad Leanne standing at a traffic crossing on the corner of Victoria Place with a carrier bag in her left arm and another bag over her shoulder.

Bizarrely a second image, shot in August 2018, shows the only difference being her outfit.

The civil servant posted the 'bonkers' images to Facebook earlier this month [September 12th] where she says she's been compared to a 'time traveller' due to the 'one-in-a-billion' coincidence.

The mum of one, from Carlisle, Cumbria, said: "It's like I'm frozen in time."

"I'm standing on exactly the same paving slab and I've still got a bag on my shoulder. It's so funny but so bizarre."

"I could be the only person in the world who they've caught in exactly the same place almost a decade later.

"I did see the car the first time, so when it got published we went on and had a look. Everyone thought it was quite funny and I didn't mind at all."

"When I saw it, I thought it was really bizarre. I hadn't even seen the car at the time, so I was flabbergasted."

Leanne says the first image was taken during her one-mile walk to work at around 8am whereas the second was on a lunchtime break – and discovered by hubby Richard in January 2019.

The self-professed 'creature of habit' said she wouldn't wear any of the clothes she wore in the first image now, and jokes the comparison shows how her personal fashion has changed since 2009.
