Hi, Danny!
I have heard of this, but not in the sense of anyone I personally know recounting this. Nor has it happened to me.
I have read about it, in other words, as here:
"A double mystery combining a strange disappearance with an even stranger reappearance took place October 24, 1593, when a soldier stationed in Manila reported for palace-guard duty in Mexico City. Instantly noticed because his uniform set him apart from the others, he was interrogated. The soldier, baffled at finding himself in a strange land, said that he had been instructed that very morning to report for duty at the palace in Manila, adding that the governor of the Philippines had been killed the night before. The incredulous authorities slapped him in jail. Two months later, news reached Mexico that confirmed his story; the governor had indeed been murdered in Manila - on the night before the soldier turned up in Mexico. The soldier was allowed to return to the Philippines. (Colin Wilson,
Enigmas and Mysteries, p. 29)
