Thank Christ the logic twins have come and improved the thread.
Well, I was enjoying this thread (I'm on page 9) and I wondered how long it would take before the 'No, you didn't see this, no this didn't happen, you imagined it, no there are no ghosts/physics etc' folk would arrived. Now they have arrived big time and are ruining what started off as a great thread. You don't see non animal lovers bombarding the 'post your cats/dogs' threads saying things like, 'no he is not cute, he is ugly, cats/dogs are horrible and you need your head examined for thinking otherwise' so why can't we just have this thread for the believers/people who have genuinely experience something and all other people who read it keep your opinions to yourself. As you were................

Utterly terrifying. I've got shivers down my spine just reading that.Just made me remember the time I had an Alfa and a switch stopped working. Scary
k me - I must need an exorcist for my 159 then! Only last week the satnav told me that my 'mother sucks cocks in hell'. I thought I had accidently changed the radio station, but now it all makes sense. missingbadly999 said:

Exactly. Too many critical, dull and insular types. If PH was a pub they would all be engrossed in the slot machine talking football. Yawn.tters claiming their mate is fking magical and can tell the future with his glowing eyesWorks both ways you see...

My ex had to have a termination when our baby girl was found to be developing abnormally, and was going to die in the womb.
We went on to have two more perfectly healthy girls, but our older Daughter was always a bit troubled when it came to sleeping (she was 4 and a half before she slept all night!)
We had never mentioned to the girls, or our Son about their 'missing' sister, our Son was only about one when it all happened so has no recollection of anything being amiss.
We then got on with life.
You might imagine our surprise when our older Daughter, when she was three, told her Mum that 'her big sister said she had to tell us that she was fine, and not to worry about her', she also mentioned her name, which only my Ex and I knew.
Never quite worked out that one....

I cant speak for him, but I like some of the stories which sound extremely strange,intriguing, almost supernatural, but that you believe will have a logical explanation somewhere along the line. Believable ones, in other words.And then people cheapen those good stories by inventing ridiculous ones, or embellishing modest stories to such a ridiculous extent that it is effectively insulting our intelligence expecting us to believe them. Why shouldn't we object to them?

I was enjoying the thread and stories until someone knowingly lied to everyone claiming his mate was magic, was then offered £3k to prove it, fails to do so yet keeps shooting his mouth off. He is the only person I've had issue with, literally every other story I've rather enjoyed
Here's one that to this day I cannot explain, also witnessed by my missus, so 1000% guarantee, no bullst.
When our little girl was around 3 or 4, we started getting her into those memory card games, the ones where you have two halves of a nursery rhyme on two cards, you shuffle all the cards on the floor face down, and the game is to turn two cards over at a time, take a glance to see if they match, if not return to face down, then the next person and so on. All the cards were very well shuffled by me personally (ex magic circle, so I do a pretty good card shuffle), scattered all over the floor face down, rubbed around for 30 seconds to shuffle further, and the game can begin.
Our girl proceeds and turns two cards over from random parts of the floor (not next to each other), match, so she gets another go. Same thing again, match, so she gets another go. This grabbed my attention as somewhat odd, so I shouted of my missus to come and watch which she did. Girl turns two more cards over, another match, now she's got our full attention. She did this 9 times in a row, we counted, all perfect matches.
I then asked her how she was doing it, and her response was, her exact words, "The Fairies are telling me".
As soon as she said that, her ability disappeared, and all subsequent pairs were not matches bar the occasional one, in line with how the game normally proceeds.
If any non-believers (of which I am 99.99% too) want to work out probability etc, I'd estimate pack size to be about normal, say 26 x 2 pairs = 52 cards, the odds of 9x2 matching pairs on the trot must be pretty special.
The above is 1000% true, so much so, all further goes at playing the game were recorded on my phone, just in case it happened again, it never did :-(

I live abroad mainly, and heading back to UK this Christmas I randomly thought about a friend I had growing up and hadn't seen nor thought of for 20+ years, and it stuck in my head how random it was to think about him out of the blue for no reason.
Anyway go into a random pub and this guy comes up to me and it's the friend I had had just thought about the day before, (I don't think there were any unnatural forces at work etc - just to me a pretty amazing coincidence).

OK guys here is one for you, I don't believe this is as simple as just co-incidences, but what say you?
I now live in Poole in Dorset but I am from Sheffield, & a couple of years ago I was dating a lady who lived in Yeovil. One day we called in to see her daughter & her boyfriend, who was excited to find out I drove a TVR Chimaera (gone but not forgotten). We all went inside for a coffee & the guy was telling me that although he had never owned an interesting car he had grown up with them as his father was car nuts, mainly American customs. Indeed he had even flown over to the States to pick a car to ship back home.
As the conversation went on I told him I used to be involved in one of the first custom clubs in the UK, Steel City Customs, & that when I married in '94 the wedding cars were supplied by the club, the lead car being a dropped Mercury lead sled.
He went upstairs for a minute & came down clutching an old ripped & torn Custom Car magazine. He gave it me to flick through, & the first page I turned had a feature article on chopped Mercury's, & two or three pictures of a particular car. It was the same car my wife & I had used for our wedding!
Even stranger, I noticed the reg number slept out the name of the lady I was now dating, Sue!
Now I don't know about you, but to me that was freaky.

No, we'd ALL like you to pJees.
s off now please, you've proven yourself an utter fantasist & we're bored of you.If you you were telling the truth, you'd accept the challenge, rather than ignore it.
Well, the wifes auntie died on Sunday, which took a little longer than I anticipated. So that makes TWO people who have died in the same room in our three year old house. I can only begin to imagine the amount of evil spirits, ghost, wierd sings, noises etc that our uber-religious spiritual maid will be seeing every day now......... :shakeshead:

That type of car is fairly rare in the UK. If you were going to use a car like that for a special event, there is a good chance there has been a magazine article on it.I now live in Poole in Dorset but I am from Sheffield, & a couple of years ago I was dating a lady who lived in Yeovil.

If the registration plate had been Gertrude, that would be a large coincidence. Three letters aren't all that rare though.
