To ask if anyone else has unexplained "physic" moments

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 worked at the DHSS for a short while back in 95/96. MY job involved interviewing claimants. One day I was interviewing a bloke whom I rather fancied. He was tall with piercing blue eyes.

At the end of this interview he went to get up from his seat and paused, looked at me with an intensive stare, gulped and looked almost a bit scared. He said something like - "I'm sorry, but it's OK, he knows you can't be there. He understands, he's happy, at rest now and loves you very much.. I was totally gobsmacked and didn't know what to say. He went off quickly, I just thought he was a bit of a nutter. Minutes later one of my colleagues asked me to the phone, it was my mum telling me my dad who had been very ill for some time had passed away.

Interesting thread op.

My dd was involved in a fatal accident and she was trapped under a coach. She has been returning from a school trip.

It happened at 2am in the morning abroad and i woke up around 2.30 and I heard her calling as clear as anything 'mom mom'

It disturbed me so much I went into her bedroom. Thinking it was a bad dream I went back to sleep. At 6 am the police called to say she had been injured.

Dd says after waking up from being knocked unconscious she called out for me as she was trapped and thought the coach would catch fire.

I never knock psychics or these type of experiences. They happen.

Justmyluck1 · 21/10/2015 18:54

constance what a nasty comment there. Totally unnecessary and strange.

SmillasSenseOfSnow · 21/10/2015 19:05

The most obvious answer is that the other person had been humming the song earlier in the day, or had been humming it very quietly without being aware- why do you want it to be more complicated than it is?
It's not even like it has to be as specific as that. Something will have made the other person think of the song they're now humming. If you are living together, you could quite easily have been there and taken that in as well. You just didn't start humming it.

Or indeed you were humming it earlier without realising, they caught it from you, and you've now completely forgotten that you were humming it. I'm fairly sure this in particular has happened to me before.

(Sorry for all the 'yous', obviously not actually directing this at you, Bertrand).

Batshitlady and Justmyluck1 Both these posts sent a shiver down my spine. I have heard similar type things before. Not quite the same but also a bit strange is what happened to me years ago. I was 14 years old and my grandparents lived in another country, so I'd never had that much to do with them unfortunately. One night I had a dream about my grandad and that he had died. The next day my Dm got a telegram saying he was very ill and she needed to come straight away. He died while she was on her journey.

A friend's daughter, who had never had a seizure/epileptic fit in her life, came in one evening after being out with her friends and told her mother that she and her friends were just popping down to KFC and she'd be back later. Her mum started getting ready for bed, and as she was getting ready the thought went clearly through her head "Shall I take my make up off before or after I get back from the hospital". The next minute, the phone rings and it's KFC - her daughter has collapsed and had an epileptic fit.

And me - I had a boyfriend in my late teens/early twenties who I loved very much at the time. He went off to university, very far away, and the first night he was away I was so worried about him, and missed him so much that I sent myself to sleep thinking hard about him and hoping he was ok (I don't pray, but a praying person might have sent their strongest prayers, for example). The next day, when I phoned him, he said "Don't ever do that again". I asked what, and he said I'd been whispering in his ear all night. He was just an ordinary, average kind of guy, no pretentions, no psychic business ever.

Justmyluck1 · 21/10/2015 19:36

Yes these things do happen and there's not always a logical explanation.

People dismiss these things out of hand because they are basically frightened or it's never happened to them so it's easier to mock or act superior.

These same people probably wouldn't openly mock the Islamic faith to a Muslim or Christianity to a Christian and these too are a leap of faith or a strong belief.

I always wonder why psychics are fair game for mockery and disbelief but priests and imams are not.

It's what's right on and what isn't. On mumsnet I mean.

QueenFuri · 21/10/2015 19:43

Two days before my mum suddenly died 6 weeks ago I had a very sudden urge to go to the graveyard where my brother is. I went and told him out loud that mum was coming to get him which she did she died exactly 48 hours to the minute I told him. Only know this because I took a pic of his headstone!!

LittleFeileFooFoo · 21/10/2015 19:46

Sniv, I'm the same way! A psychic stone, I like to say.

That's not to say that others don't have these events, or that there isn't more to heaven and earth than my philosophy can describe.

ConstanceMarkYaBitch · 21/10/2015 19:54

Strange? How so? If you tell mental health professionals that you can read minds or can tell the future, at the very least you'll get is medication. Tell MN and you'll just get fellow deluded people telling you how they can do it too!

Justmyluck1 · 21/10/2015 19:54

I think that's it Little exactly.

Open mind and respecting others beliefs and experiences are basic good manners.

Justmyluck1 · 21/10/2015 20:39

Constance seriously you are deluded there.

Every religious person in the world thinks they can tell the future as in the afterlife. Heaven etc.

Are you seriously suggesting that all religious people are deluded and need medicating.

And as a trained nurse I can tell you they are not.

ConstanceMarkYaBitch · 21/10/2015 20:45

Actually no, most religious people don't hear voices, or predict the future. They have a belief in a concept of an afterlife, which is not the same thing.
I happen to think they are a bit bonkers on the whole too, but they have a huge cultural excuse.
They are not the same as the folks who think they can read their husbands minds, or think they predicted 9/11 by having a funny feeling, or the loons who think they can talk to dead people.

As a trained nurse you should know better.

BertrandRussell · 21/10/2015 20:53

"Open mind and respecting others beliefs and experiences are basic good manners."

Really? Open to anything? Respecting belief in anything?????

beefthief · 21/10/2015 20:58

If you can demonstrate a genuine psychic ability under proper science conditions, then you'll change the way we view cognitive ability. Here's the thing though, you won't. Because you literally can't.

BertrandRussell · 21/10/2015 21:06

If just one of the people who say they can do paranormal things actually could, the world would be turned upside down.

BertrandRussell · 21/10/2015 21:07

Oops, sorry, beeftheif!

QwertyQueen · 21/10/2015 21:21

My DS, then 4 years old, was chatting about something we were going to do as a family and included "the baby". I only remembered it because it was so odd. Turns out I was pregnant without knowing it.

Not quite a psychic thing but I was at a friend's birthday party once waiting for my DH to turn up. He ended up going out with work mates and getting roaring drunk. I was SO angry with him as this friend was once of our closest friends. I remember sitting there chatting to someone but was fiddling with my wedding ring and thinking about how angry I was when I suddenly felt pain, my wedding ring had squashed and was pinching my finger!
It was the weirdest thing, the metal did not feel warm, and try as I might to squash it back into shape I did not have the strength for it.

I often joke I have a very strong electrical field… when I am angry or in a bad mood things like computers or TVs just suddenly switch off, or stop working. Probably just a co-incidence I am sure, but it doesn't surprise me when it happens anymore.

Boopsy- do you actually have any evidence for any of that?

BertrandRussell · 21/10/2015 21:31

Because, to the best of my knowledge, whenever a psychic has been tested, they have turned out not to be psychic at all. And they are not allowed to see the subject to prevent trickery rather than mind reading!

I don't claim to have any psychic ability and I don't think anyone has on here. People are just describing random unaccountable incidents or feelings.

My mum and sister & I always finish each others sentences. If we are playing hangman or charades, we can know immediately we see the number of words/letters, what it is. I think we just know each other very well.

I always say this on these type of threads, the thing that freaks me out the most is when children say things they cannot know - like children knowing the layout of a house or village they have never been to, or when they talk about 'when I lived with my other mummy before I came to live with you' etc. Makes my hair stand up on my neck

bumbleymummy · 21/10/2015 21:49

I'm enjoying reading them anyway. Does anyone have any more? :)

bumbleymummy · 21/10/2015 21:50

Oooh I love those too Phantom!
