Ghosts playing pranks? Odyssey antigram problem

So just to start it off I have experience working on bikes but this has me stumped. I recently bought an odyssey anti gram rear hub. Literally it's been ridden 10 times at the most as I usually ride coaster. So just yesterday I went to my friends house and we rode for the day. At the end of the day we swapped cranks as my cranks were too short for my riding style. I took off the rear wheel and set it to the side as I was changing the cranks. My friend had to go so I left the rear wheel off and drove home. When I got home and went to put the wheel back on it acted just like a lhd hub put on a rhd bike. So you could pedal it backwards and you went backwards. Of course I've always ridden the hub rhd so I just assumed I threw the cranks on the wrong way in my rush to leave. Well they are actually on the right side so I put everything back together again. Now it does it half and half. It'll act like a lhd and then suddenly start working properly again for a few cranks and then switch back again. I'm completely stumped as to what happened as no one touched the rear wheel except to loosen the 2 bolts to take it off the bike. The only thing I can think of is a ghost changed the drive side or something haha. If anyone could shed some light on this it would be awesome. Thanks.

Maybe one of these cone nuts tightened while tightening the wheel down making the bearings really tight. Used to happen to me on my old hub.

Weird, your best bet is to find the ghost that pranked your bike and make him fix it.

This happened to my friend's bike once. It was the weirdest thing, haha! He re-greased the pawls and cleaned the internals and worked fine after that.

Pawls need to be greased as Ready said above me . It should work after that . If not , I do not know.

It's a fully threadless press fit cones. There is no way to overtighten them. Thanks though.

Ok I'll have to try this haha. It's just strange as the wheel is basically new and was greased once already.

Yeah chances are, as it's bushes as opposed to cones, the driver may have slipped free a touch and the springs and pawls moved. Just open it up, check everything is where it should be, add a thin layer of grease, and it should be fine

Maybe you put your pawls on backwards. It's switchable. Put them on the other side. Nevermind, I missed the last part of your post. Maybe someone is messing with you. God did it man.

Make sure you have the cone on right on the drive side
