Do you have a 'nobody would EVER believe me' story? No matter the subject or how daft, unreal it seems, please share :)

Callani your dog sounds incredible.

Oooooooh Jelly Diamonds, can't say as I'm surprised at all. But yes, it could all be hearsay.

The day it was announced princess Diana died i had been daydreaming about meeting her only had this feeling that it would never happen. When we got back from our journey i coundn't believe the news :(

My dad was very poorly whilst my grandma was on holiday in Spain. She felt an overwhelming urge to go inside a cathedral and pray one day, we later found out it was the day that my dad died back in England. The cathedral was that of St Michael - Michael was my dad's name and my grandma was the least religious person you could meet.

A younger male Royal may have got a woman in Brazil pregnant whilst on an official visit there, his "people" may or may not have paid for her to have an abortion....

Could all be hearsay of course.

Jelly and Butterfly do tell.
You can't leave us wondering.

SuperFly - it was announced that Andy and Kim were engaged before the Apprentice so you probably heard about it subconsciously.

We had a psychic dog as kids - she just knew things.

Me and my sister used to walk her after school but one day she just wouldn't go down the alley. We tried everything to force but she wouldn't budge so we gave up and took her home. We were reading the paper that weekend and saw that a girl was critical in hospital after being attacked in the alley that night - it makes me sick just thinking of it.

Another time she slipped her lead and started running towards the park running across roads and everything whilst we shouted after her. When we caught up about 5 mins later she was fussing over a lad who'd been beaten up and said she'd chased off his attackers.

Oh and when we moved house, a neighbours came round to introduce himself and she was dreadful - kept growling at him and doing that raised hackles, snarly thing that horrible dogs do. We were really embarrassed. Anyway, a couple of days later another neighbour came around and mentioned to my Mum to watch out for him because he'd been "inappropriate" with her kids. Just over a year later he was sent to jail for child abuse.

JellyDiamonds Do tell! My friend dated shagged for a Summer a Saudi prince. They met in a very well known department store!

A poster on a other thread a while back posted a very scandalous bit of gossip about one of the younger royals. As scandalous as it was, I didn't feel at all surprised.

I've got one which happened last night - random thought thinking about Andy Murray and if he would ever propose to Kim Sears (was just watching Apprentice and the BBC2 show about Apprentice after Apprentice and that thought about Andy popped into my head.

Front page or page 2/3 of newspaper today and he's popped the Q. Coincidence or woo?!

I get what you're saying !

Shameful marking sorry, these are amazing!

Ah Butterfly

Here's another. My mum met her great grandad even though he died before she was born. After my dad died she had a tough time. My brother had health issues and it made working much difficult. By the time I was 8 or 9 things were a bit better but mum was still not sure about what to do work wise. She had a job in a bakers over lunch times to get a bit of cash but it was nothing like her pre DC profession and she was wondering if going back was a better plan but worried about childcare, could she still do it etc. one day there was no one but her in the bakers and a man came in. He didn't look unusual really but she felt weirdly captivated by him and he had very blue eyes that felt like they were looking into your soul. After making polite small talk he ordered some sausage rolls. Mum had to go to the back to get them. As she went out the man said "you know you can do so much more than this, never underestimate yourself". Mum was a bit surprised but went about getting his order. When she returned he'd gone. She never saw him again and no one else knew of him when she recounted the slightly odd experience to them. Several years later, the incident long forgotten, my mum was at my grandma's. Grandma got out the old family album to show mum who had got back into the family tree. It had been packed away ever ince she inherited it from her mother. Mum had always been fascinated by her great grandad as the stories of him were great, he was a real character. As soon as grandma turned to the page with him on my mum knew that was the man from the bakers. The eyes looking out of the photo were the same and everything. It's really woo but she's not scared. By the time she found out who he was she had got back to work in a similar field to her original one, to some extent inspired by what he'd said. Why wouldn't he look out for her is her explanation.

After working in the Royal Household for years, I have loads of unbelievable stories- which sadly I am forbidden to share!

One of my children is a surviving twin but they are right handed so it isn't a given the remaining child will be left handed. I always knew if we tried for another baby it would be twins.

Five hours/ Sugar Plum

Sadly those aren't my dolphins. This was in Essex.

bumbiscuits, yes, some people are: situs inversus

It also says (following links) that mirror image identical twins can form if the embryo splits later than normal. Even later and they'll be conjoined.

I moved back home to care for my DMum with cancer. After she died she was still very much in the house, IYSWIM. Me and DDad would hear the noises she made and hear her walking about and her presence was there.
I had a dream that was not a dream that had DDad and me walking into our sitting room on a sunny day and a window was open (a window that couldn't be opened in real life) and DMum was standing with her back to us wearing a primrose yellow dress that was very floaty and moving in the breeze from the window. I touched her arm and she turned towards me and DDad and smiled a full beam smile. She was young slim and healthy and then the image faded away.
I woke up and went to my DDad to tell him about the dream and later in daylight we discussed the dream and the fact that she never wore yellow ever.
After this 'dream' her presence was gone from the house.
Eventually I told my DBro about it and he told me that just after the war she was given a silk parachute that she dyed primrose yellow and made it into a dress and a pair of camiknickers. A silk dress would be floaty and move in a breeze.
I drew great comfort from this experience. I feel sure she was young again and healthy and came to let me know this.

Posted about this on another thread a while ago, but around this time last year, I dreamt that a friend and mine took our babies swimming - my dd was around 2 and hers was newborn in my dream, but she didn't have any dc at this point. I mentioned it to her and had a cryptic response back. Decided to leave her to tell the obvious news and sure enough, after a couple of months she announced her pregnancy, telling me that she found out the day before I emailed her with my dream - so I dreamt it the same day she found out. As the weeks went by, I couldn't shake the idea that she wouldn't ever have this baby. Sadly, they discovered at their 20 week scan that baby would not survive and they had to terminate the pregnancy. I actually feel responsible.

There have been other dreams where I've been somewhere I've never seen previously and then in the following weeks have visited the same place in real life.

I am now encouraging myself to think I'm almost psychic and the 'feeling' I've had that we'll conceive baby 3 on out anniversary will come true!! If the thread continues I shall inform in due course.

I've nominated for classics, why has this not made it yet?? Fascinating thread!

I knew when my dad died. I was 6 and felt it even though he was not with us at the time. Then the phone rang and I told my mum that it was someone to tell her daddy had died. She was pretty shocked to find out I was right.

Buttercup that is so touching. Big lump in the throat here.

Mine is pretty rubbish but here you go...

We moved into a Victorian property earlier this year and from the start, I could hear footsteps but passed it off as old building noises. There wasn't a bad feeling from the place and I'm not mega woo, so wasn't bothered.
I would come home and doors that were closed were open and vice versa. Checked with DP, not him. But as we were getting used to living there, it was all perfectly explainable.
Then about 3 weeks after moving in, I woke up in the middle of the night - baby DS was fast asleep - and heard a child's voice as clear as day 'Can you hear me..now?'.
I got a bit freaked but convinced myself I was being silly. Went back to sleep.
Next day, in the afternoon, playing with the baby, I hear the voice again. ' Can you hear me...now?'.
I think I responded 'No, I don't want to hear you. Leave us ' as I was pretty scared.
I haven't heard anything since. No voices, footsteps, no doors closing, nothing.
But now when i think about it, if it was a child ghost, I feel like it was trying so hard to be heard and I shut it down right away.

sistersofpercy really amazing about your dd and her doppelgänger.

About the beginning of September last year I was sat on the sofa (alone, no one else in the house) early evening watching TV. Opposite our sofa is a fireplace.

I turned to look at the fireplace briefly...something started to form to the left side of the fireplace. I kept looking. Within seconds, a one dimensional figure appeared. It was about 4ft high, with a very large head and very short arms. It had no face, completely black like a shadow. I felt that it was looking at me. After a few seconds the figure disappeared.

This was all in daylight and I hadn't been drinking or taking anything !!

I wasn't scared at all at the time, but have freaked myself out a bit since, reading what it might have been.

Closest things I can find is 'shadow person'or alien travelling from a different dimension in a way we don't know about (!)

Sounds bonkers & I NEVER believed in any alien stuff before this happened, but I really did see this creature/thing that night
