Wooo. Spooky? Glitch in the Matrix type thing?

[MattDillonsPants]

We've recently moved across the globe with our children. We now live in a country town in Australia. When we were in the UK, I rode a bike with a tagalong on the back...that's a one wheeled bike attachment which a small kid can sit on and pedal...it makes an ordinary bike into a tandem. You can unclip them easily.

Anyway...I still ride my bike but alone because my daughter is now too big for a tagalong...we gave ours away before we moved here.

My neighbour is in his 80s...very delicate seeming old man...when I first met him my DH saw me speaking to him in the street...DH was in the house and glanced out ....when I got in he asked me what he was like I said..."He's very old, a bit dreamy...it's like he's half in the other world already." which was a bit of a fanciful thing to say but it's the impression I got.

Yesterday DH met him for the first time to speak to...DH was cutting down some plants in the front and the neighbour came out with his wife...he chatted to DH about the weather a bit and then said "What's that thing...when your wife rides her bike...what's that contraption on the back...the extra bike?"

THere IS no contraption on my bike any more. It's not even the same bike. My husband was confused for a moment and said "What?" and the old man's wife waved her hand and mouthed "he gets confused" then she said "Maybe he saw it in a dream."

Weird?

It sounds funny but that contraption...my tagalong was such an important part of my daily life for so long...maybe he saw it's ghost? :D

Ooh, is this going to be a new 'woo' thread? When I first found this forum I spent hours and hours reading some really long old threads. Nothing to add, but I often use the phrase 'glitch in the matrix'

Maybe he has double vision?!

Love a story like this! I sometimes believe there are things at work which are more powerful tha we can understand

Definite glitch. Probably caused by the time difference and the effect of being on the other side of the planet. Deffo.

My mum died about 10 years ago. I often have dreams about her where I am thrilled she is back, but always painfully aware she is going to disappear if I can't hang on in some way. She never speaks in the dreams.

A few years ago, I had a particularly vivid dream that she was trying to call me, and I couldn't hear what she was saying. It was so vivid that I woke up crying; it was about 4am. I went back to sleep.

When I got up, I had a missed call from a number I vaguely recognised that had called my mobile at 4.06am. I called it back. It was the primary school where my mother had been a teacher.

How??? I don't believe in ghosts or anything spooky, but I cannot for the life of me see how this could have happened. It's not a boarding school, so nobody would have been there at 4am. And not one person there would have had my number anyway. I'd love a rational explanation.

About a month before she died (v unexpectedly of a stroke with no warning signs at all), we were on a family holiday. I had a very clear and vivid dream that she died; so much so that I woke up and told my brother about it. A friend who is a doctor suggested that she had perhaps been acting differently and my subconscious had noticed it, hence the dream. That does make sense to me!

Oops massive thread jack, really sorry OP (admittedly not quite sorry enough to delete it now I've typed it all out! ).

Definite glitch. Probably caused by the time difference and the effect of being on the other side of the planet.

Love this! Obviously the image of OP pulling DD along on her bike would take some time to travel all the way through / half way round the Earth. It's all become clear now!

If dreams come true, I'm due to have an inspiring talk with a kind rabbi while a dreadful flood engulfs nearly everything around us. I blame the antidepressants

Furiosa - no, I'm on a network called "Du" I live in the middle east hence the early start time for school. Is there something on Vodafone that would explain it? I just can't see why my car and phone would have the same incorrect time! I have never seen my phone have the wrong time but that's not to say it ever happens.

Orange well a lot of vodafone customer reported their phone's were displaying the wrong time a few weeks ago.

I was affected. Thought it might have happened to you?

Du and Vodafone are partners.

Just to clear a few things up I have only spoken to him that one time....we haven't been here long....just a few weeks. Also, the kids have never spoken to him...ever....they don't play out alone so I haven't missed a conversation. DH had not spoken to him either. THere is no saddle bag on my bike.

It IS woo I tell you!

MattDillonsPants the mini bike must have left it's ghost attached to your bike .

I have no idea how to remove a ghost bike, sorry

It is odd though "What's that thing...when your wife rides her bike...what's that contraption on the back...the extra bike?"

It does sound like he's talking about your tagalong. Keep us posted for anymore spooky things he says.

In our old house our clocks all stopped at 6.30 on 3 occasions. These were all battery powered clocks - 2 little bedside clocks, the kitchen clock and the living room clock.

They all stopped at 6.30 when we were on holiday the first time. Empty house. The other 2 times it happened during normal working weeks. It was really freaky. Since we've moved it hasn't happened again.

okay I know he referred to it as an extra bike...but are you 100% certain he wasn't referring to your posterior?

IceBeing

HAhahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I'm so sorry OP

How weird!

A few weeks ago I was cooking dinner & went from the sitting room to kitchen to attend to something. On the way I found myself suddenly singing the instrumental to the chorus of Paul Simon's Late in the Evening. Not a song I know well & I just had to look up the name of it again.

I got into the kitchen, turned on the radio and that very bit of that song was playing. There was no radio on anywhere else for me to have subliminally heard & started singing along. Really freaked me out!

There are more things in heaven and earth...
