A one-size-fits all thread for all of you who have experienced strange, unexplained and miraculous events, or believe in this or that spiritual entity or whatever.

Coincidence ...my name is Sheila and my ex-hubbby name is Stewart

My 2 best friends are also called Sheila...one was called Sheila Stewart when I first met her

The second became Sheila Stewart when she married

Both other Sheilas and ex-hubby Stewart have birthdays in August on 11th 13th and 15th and they all have 2 years between them

Spooky or what...you decide :twisted:

That is indeed a synchronicity.

Do you think that otherworldly forces were at work in all this?

I genuinely go through spells of being able to tell who a text message is from and anticipate its arrival prior to looking at my phone. I'm not sure if this is some kind of premonition or whether my heid is in some way a conductor of RF radiation.

Wasn't there a movie about superheroes whose superpowers were all a bit rubbish?

How are you going to use this "talent" ?

My sister and I frequently turn up at events wearing the same or almost the same outfit without consultation and have on occasion sent the same birthday card to the same person - despite living almost 100 miles apart - how spooky is that :shock:
Enough of your nonsense - get back to the Play Pen!

Predictions

Post by Zargonian » 02 May 2007, 09:28

One evening whilst in a bar playing cards with the barmaid I decided I'd had enough of playing cards. So I asked the barmaid to give the cards a good shuffle then to hold them close and I'd guess the cards numbers. Not the colours (hearts, spades etc).

I guessed 17 correct - no B.S. honest.

Remember feeling REALLY strong that day.
And I repeat :
No Marley Magic Cigarettes.......
No mind bending (or spoon bending) drugs either......

Weird?

I think the word barmaid gives us all the clues we need :twisted:

Why are these powers always so mundane, useless and non-repeatable?

If someone actually had a decent power or skill we'd know by now because they would be enjoying the fame and success of applying it to a real-world problem - of which there are many.

Priests, mediums, charlatans, fakers and liars is all we're left with.

Getting back to coincidence, when I was studying in Bradford I was invited out for a pint with my mate Chris who was meeting an old pal Dave, who he had worked with before College, who was in town for the day.

We met this guy in the pub, sat for about 3 hours drinking and blethering away when Dave turned to me and asked "So ali, what part of Jocko-land are you from then?" (Dave was a loud-mouth and a bit of a prat).
I smiled, managing to resist the impulse to grab him by the throat and haul him outside for a good kicking thus fulfilling all his stereotypical views on the true essence of "Jockism", and told him............

To cut a long story short he knew someone from there too.......and after a while we worked out that Dave was my distant cousin, who I had last seen when I was about 4. He insisted on dragging me to the bar and forcing me to drink large whiskies telling the bar staff about this amazing coincidence . Then he hauled out his phone and phoned his mum and I had to speak to the poor woman. It was awful. Eventually he got so drunk that I was able to slip away in to the night. I've never heard from him since.

The barmaid was fairly intelligent.....
And showed the cards afterwards, and no there were no mirrors behind her to see the cards....honest!

I'll shut up now.

Saw this and thought of this threadUFO over Edinburgh





If indeed we could have a poltergeist that would come in and tidy up I'd keep it and exorcise the kids!
We do seem to have one here though. it eats odd socks, pens, remote controls and bits of homework occasionally.
It also cunningly hides mobile phones in pockets to go through the wash
