^^^ IMHO you have the gift. I think I have a few shreds of wrapping and string from the gift but not the gift itself. when I was in the army, I saw sitting in my barracks quarters listening to music, when all of a sudden, the music muted in my head and was replaced with "G*D D*MM*T! forgot my keys!" and while I was puzzling a while over why my brain did that, I heard a knock on the door, my roommate yelled "LEMME IN! I forgot my keys!"

^^When you get one of these instances, does it ever give you bad anxiety because you don't understand it?

not too much because it is usually minor and passes just like the wind.

Sorry, I wasn't replying to you, I was just replying to the thread in general, since I hadn't posted here in a while.

I actually have a few really interesting coincidences I'd like to write down, but have decided it's not worth the hassle.

Yeah, same here.

I've been on the opposite end of something like that a time or two before...I was chanting inside my head (as one usually does), and somehow both my mom and my brother heard me say it out loud...but I was 100% certain that my lips were sealed shut (almost literally).

I was unable to find anyone willing to participate in my guerrilla pacifism ideas. Thankfully, I suppose.

There was an incidence many years ago, for me.

Not sure whether it falls under psychic phenomenon or coincidence or what.

I'll do my best to put it into as few as possible.

It was when my daughter was very small (she's 25 now). But anyway it was a Saturday and I planned to take her into Manchester to do some shopping, as it is a day out on the bus.

Anyway, last minute I decided to go in the complete opposite direction and get the train into Wigan.

It was on that day that the IRA decided to blow up Manchester city centre.

You get me?


Good thing you changed trains.

And another strange occurrence happens about just over two years ago at my old works.

I had worked there for a good couple of years and I had friends there and I did go on nights out and socialise.

Anyway, one day when I went in I just knew that I couldn't stay any longer. I needed to leave and get out I there. It was so bad that I spoke to my manager and left there and then.

Anyway, about two weeks later I got a text message saying that everyone had been made redundant and they had closed the doors on the business.

Weird....

One time, I 'phoned the landlord of many offices I visited. I got a switchboard, and as my call was being transferred, a voice in my head said "He's dead." His secretary came on the line, and told me that he had had a very severe accident. Afterwards, he lived, but was never the same. I consider it a possible case of soul transferrence - the landlord was shocked out of his body, and then it was hijacked by another soul, willing to suffer the aftermath.

A very nice old atheist I knew died in a local park, and for about two years afterward, I felt his presence there, and would "think to him" that he should stop trying to get a response from all the people going by, and pay attention to the more ghostly presences that would actually respond. Then one day, he was gone. I didn't tell his wife until she was dying, and she started ignoring us part-time before she checked out.

The "sixth sense" is called intuition.

Its a mix between experience and "gut feeling", it has nothing to do with ghosts whispering in your ear or magical powers.

shortly after my dad died, both me and my mom were awoken at the same time, out of the blue, early in the morning, with the sound of his voice shouting "HEY [our respective names]!"

Good morning all!

here's a bit of a funny one for you.

About a year ago at work (again) we was doing a game.

I work in telesales, so for every lead/sale we got a question and if we got the answer we won a prize.

So anyway, I was there at my desk and I saw the name Laura come up on my screen and then I had the song "Tell Laura I love her" running through my head.

So then I got my sale and went up for my question and the question was "Who sang the song Tell Laura I love her?"

I didn't know the answer but it made me laugh and it made my manager laugh too, when I told what happened.

It turned out to be Ricky Valance.

for some reason, when watching Jeopardy! on tv, when a contestant is about to get a daily double, I always seem to know it a few seconds before it happens. :scratch:

Were you both in the same house?

I thought you were confused and spelled Ritchie Valens wrong, then I looked it up and I see that you had a different guy who sang the song for the UK. Interesting.

I have song things happen all the time...like where me or someone else will think of a song, and then it'll come on the radio right afterwards, or we'll turn on the radio and it's already playing 8O

It's weird because sometimes it's a really obscure song that never gets played.

A psychiatrist explained to me that it is common for those who have someone who passed away to see and hear things. I saw something after my father passed away and my siblings + mom did to, but such things do subside with time.

My guess is that it is probably a way for the brain to deal with the reality of that person not being there anymore.

I used to have a little bird who I would take camping with me.

Anyway whilst we was on the camping field one day and she was just sitting on my shoulder I heard one of the wild birds (a crow or magpie) making its noise and it sounded just as if it said "heart attack".

Anyway a few days later I was sat at home, I happened to be having a bottle of sparking wine, I popped the cork and my little bird fell off her perch and died.
