To ask if anyone else has unexplained "physic" moments

[mellowheart]

I can't explain how this happens but my DH will often start singing a song that I've just suddenly thought of in my head. It's often a very obscure type song, definitely not one he's heard recently. It happens immediately after I've thought it. This has also happened with others but much more often with DH. It's like he's picking up my thoughts, itms. Anyone else get similar type things?

I don't care if it does or doesn't, that's the fundamental difference you see.

I'm here to read about people's experiences, not to judge them. That's why I clicked on the thread.

What I got instead was a lot of piss-taking and attempts at making people feel shitty for their beliefs or experiences.

It's not a debate thread, shouldn't be anyway. But even if you want to come on and say "I don't believe in this stuff as current science suggests other explanations" there's still a nice way to go about it, especially when some of the stories are very emotionally upsetting for the person who shared them.

I'm not engaging in an argument with you about this cos it just derails it all further. Carry on, though, I'm sure your opinions on the matter will change many minds here.

Sorry, would have said yes but I can't take credit for the cheese toastie story.

Actually it was Thistle that had the toastie story and I don't think you found it that funny.

It did come across that you were using your LMFAOLULZ to mock her.

x post!

not very impressive haha but 9 times out of 10 i can tell who's on the other end of the house phone before i answer

it's a crap supoerpower let's face it.

So calling someone a snowflake and saying they just want to feel special isn't shitty? Ok then.

I was correcting myself.

I've had loads of weird things like this happen.

One example, I was living in a static caravan about 15 years ago and all of a sudden my little TV (the old style suddenly went bang and with a flash of light on the screen turned itself off. I got up to try and switch it back on and saw out of the corner of my eye that a tea towel had fallen onto the gas hob in the kitchen, and caught fire. If I hadn't have got up then I'd have literally been toast, those caravans like to burn! The TV was completely dead, and I asked a few people about what could be wrong and they said the only thing that would make it go bang like that was if the tube had blown, which meant new TV time. Then I randomly tried to switch it on again a few days later, and it worked perfectly, and continued to do so for years.

I had a terrible nightmare a couple of years ago about my crazy ex chasing me because he wanted to kill me. I kept getting away from him and he kept nearly catching me again. I had a brainwave - go to my mums house because I'd be safe there. So I got there and hammered on the door, the door opened and there was my ex, with a mad look in his eyes, holding a large knife that was dripping with blood. I told my mum about the nightmare when I saw her the next day, and she went white as a sheet because she'd also had a dream the night before about my ex turning up at her house, and she was so freaked out that she'd gone and got a big knife from the kitchen and put it under her pillow.

It's better than nothing MySordid, I don't have any!

That's why I love reading these threads.

I didn't say it was you? I was referring to your above statement about not seeing any piss-taking "as far as I can see." Phone won't let me copy and paste, annoyingly.

And no, sorry, I don't want to derail the thread anymore.

I had a dream that I won a million pounds on the lottery. The following day I bought a ticket. I won £40.

Cactus - I'm glad you found amusement from the mundanity of my story, and I can see the humour in it - but I don't see why it is any more or less worthy of scepticism for its mundanity. None of the examples I have given are of events that were anything other than prosaic, and I'm not claiming any special superpowers that would affect life-changing events.

I am genuinely interested as to how you would explain it rationally based on the following facts:

1. P was making cheese on toast whilst I had a shower.
2. It was not possible to see into the kitchen from the shower room, although I could hear him cooking. There were two closed doors in between, so I could not smell the kitchen.
3. Prior to getting in the shower, I had suggested that he add Worcester sauce to the cheese.
4. We had various sauces in the cupboard, including Worcester sauce, chilli sauce, sweet dipping sauce, tabasco, ketchup, HP sauce, mayo, tartar sauce, and marmite.
5. Neither of us had ever made or eaten cheese on toast with chilli.
6. We did not have a television at the time, so could not have been influenced by any cooking shows, neither did we listen to a radio at home or have a newspaper.
7. Making something like cheese on toast was something we both did regularly, and I do not have any recollection at any other time of wondering if P was trying out strange combinations.
8. To the best of my recollection, we had not eaten anything with chilli sauce in the previous couple of days.
9. I accept that hearing P banging about with the grill pan made me start thinking about what he was cooking

• but how did my mind go from there to knowing with certainty that he had put chilli sauce on it, rather than Worcester?

• and assuming that he was truthful about saying what he had been thinking whilst he was making it, how did I know that he thought I would take one bite and put it in the bin?

I do have another one-

When I was about 7-8 years old, I used to play that game with my parents were you draw an animal piece by piece, i.e., nose, face, ears, neck, body, tail, and fold the paper over after each section and exchange it with your partner. I was playing this game with my dad, and we had done a couple of animals already. On the final turn, we drew exactly the same stylised image of a hippo. I can see a logical explanation that maybe we had both seen the same image elsewhere at some time in the past, but why would we chose to both draw it at exactly the same point in the game?

I've read as much about the paranormal and psychic phenomena, as I have on cold reading, Derren Brown and James Randi. Just because it's interesting. I've had some unusual experiences of my own - I haven't attempted to analyse what was real, unexplained or coincidence, it's just an experience and it can be fun to share it with others. I am neither believer nor non believer, special snowflake nor cool sceptic. Deep down I feel there is a scientific or logical explanation for everything, but I'm not going to start imposing my belief on somebody else.

For those not vulnerable, there is no harm in enjoying a few tales of the inexplicable. At least no one has started offering readings yet.

Neither is anyone else.

Thee you go, there's an inexplicable incident right there. I never typed "neither has anyone else" any where in the post, why is it there at the bottom? Weird message from the afterlife? Doubt it, probably just me being a tit, but still mildly amusing.

I agree, Billy that there is a scientific or logical explanation. I don't think any of my odd experiences are 'magic' or 'supernatural'. I like logic and rationality, so when I see or experience something that can't be explained by the laws of logic as we know them, it makes me curious. Especially if several people have had similarly inexplicable experiences. It makes me want to find an explanation, not just to dismiss it as a 'coincidence' that can't be explained.

This is a thread for sharing experience. I have no problem with scepticism. My problem is people using 'logic' as an excuse to belittle others.. If you don't believe fine. Rather than belittling other peoples experiences just ignore the thread and move on. You are not gaining anything by sarcastic nasty comments , other people are though, they can see what twats you are.

Another weird one,
When I was younger we lived in a house where the loft was exactly above the landing at the top of the stairs.Every night I would sleepwalk and just stand under the loft. I had never sleep walked before this house and I haven't since. We found an old ouija board up the loft whilst we were living there. It was probably just a coincidence but still a bit creepy.

If you don't want any actual logic, can you not apply at least some internal consistency to your woo?
Ouija boards are supposedly to talk to the dead via the movement of a glass on a lettered board. Even if you want to believe that works, wtf has that got to do with a kid sleepwalking in the same house? There is no connection even for woo lovers. What is even vaguely creepy or weird about it?

Ooh that is creepy, Crazy. Did you get rid of the ouija board in the end?

I find ouija boards a bit creepy. I wouldn't have liked to find one in the loft!
