hubby says he has seen a ghost five times so far.

[lowresidue]

Hubby has taken our dog to a local wood, and lets the dog go for a run.
He goes at different times and different days.
He came home and told me that he has seen the same woman ghost five separate times so far. Tonight with bonnet wearing woman made him jump when she popped up in front of him. When he said 'you made me jump', she smiled nodded and walked away from him.

He was quite serious but I asked why he thought she was a dead/ ghost? He said because she is wearing a long coat and a bonnet type hat.
AIBU to suggest that this woman isn't dead, isn't a ghost and is an odd lady with a strange fashion sense?
He is quite firm she is a ghost, and walks along the path but not on it though the trees.

personally I am glad we are going on holiday soon my hubby really needs it asap.
Then again AIBU?

I went to view a property which had an odd feel to it. I went into the attic bedrooms and thought that I really, really wouldn't want to go up there after 10 o'clock at night.

The lady who bought our house had viewed the same property and had the same feeling. In fact, her son wouldn't go upstairs at all.

She wasn't woo and I'm not woo. But some things are strange.

A bit of a latecomer, but here's my tale.
Our ds was approx 18 months old, we had moved into our new home about 10 months before. One sunny Sunday afternoon we were doing a few bits in the house when we heard him chattering away in the hall. Me and dh peered around doors (we were in different rooms) and both saw him looking up at the corner of the ceiling. I asked "who are you talking to" and without taking his eyes off the ceiling he replied "the lady in the hall, she lives here" I looked at dh and he looked at me, both shrugged shoulders and carried on what we were doing. Never thought any more of it, but a few months later when we had finished decorating we put some photographs round, including one of my dm, who had passed away 4 years previously. Ds went straight to her picture and said "lady in the hall", not woo at all in our house, but this did make me a tad woo! Anyway a few nights later putting ds to bed him being not quite 2 and he was always singing nonsense songs, when he started singing bohemian rhapsody word for word, the right tune and just perfect. I said "where have you learnt that from" and he replied "the lady in the hall sings it to me". My dm was the world's biggest queen fan, to the point when freddie mercury died she wore black for a week! Never sensed anything myself nor has dh or our youngest 2 dcs. Now ds1 is almost 21, we still live in the same house, but he can still remember the lady in the hall and that she used to sing to him.

Hi @boopsy

The people were in their early twenties so my first thought was university students. They were wearing the genuine 70s clothing aka how I remember it from when I was a kid, plus on those TOTP reruns.

It was the stretch of road from York on the A64 just before Stockton on the Forest.

My completely imagined backstory to this is that it was two young lads who'd gone into York and missed the last bus home. They were walking along the grass verge (before the road was widened) and must have been hit by a car.

It was the shadowy element that made me question this. I've since driven along roads at that time of night and looked at people out of the car window and the pedestrians are definitely more.... solid, is the only word.

I've never seen a ghost, have no real conviction they exist or don't, my DD says she thinks she has had various events that she can't explain.

However, I know that magnetism can work, (even on small children who aren't old enough to fake, or other) I have witnessed Shingles healed by telephone
I have seen water "boil" bubble in a glass when placed on someones head (OH Godmother can help with heatstroke) another woman can heal verrucas within 2 days where dermatologist failed, another woman helps people who are burnt, She healed my daughter after severe burn on her hand after microwaving wax, healed in 2 days, no scar.

I have a family member who is "psychic", if that is the right defo.
He doesn't talk about it, I think it actually makes him sad.
He can "see" if people are soon to die. He doesn't talk about it, to them, to us. But can note it down. (which is proof enough for us)
This can be people he may not even know, , they go "hazy", (he can't/won't say more)

Not everything has an explication

The seeing people who are soon to die thing might one day have a rational explanation. Some dogs can smell cancer. Perhaps some people are particularly good at subconsciously picking up on minor changes in a person's behaviour, appearance and smell.

Cooldarkroom has your relative ever predicted a death when someone has died by accident rather than illness?

What did the hospital have to say about the healing of the burn?

Was it put in cold water as soon as it happened?

Hey @HonkyWonkWoman 🖕🖕🖕🖕

Here's a premonitiony one. Although ALL premonitions could be put down to coincidence this one's memorable for it's comedy aspect really. Bloody strange too.

At 14 (only child) i was left to house sit at home (London) for the first time by my trusting parents while they went on hols for 14 nights in Wales. 1980's.

Midday on day 6 my best mate and i were sprawled watching Wimbledon surrounded by our revolting mess (a week of teens plus occasional illegal guests sneaked in. The idea was to do all cleaning on the last day).

Anyway - loloped on the sofa watching the tennis, in my mind's eye i suddenly got this crystal clear full technicolour image of my parents car going along on a very specific spot of road about about half an hour away from the house. Homeward direction ... they were coming home! I knew it. It was as if they'd just entered some kind of circle around me and i knew how long i had.

I shot up out of the chair and and started snatching up rubbish and clothes and ranting at best mate to effing tidy up 'cos parents will be home in 30 MINUTES FOR GOD's SAAAAAKE ...

Friend was - slowly says ''they're not back for a week Laiste ...''. I pull her up out of the chair, she tidies slowly, looks worried for my sanity. I frenziedly get the lounge and kitchen to a not too bad standard. She mostly stands about frowning at me.

30 minutes later - yep - my parents car pulls up outside the house. My mum had sprained her ankle and they hadn't liked the holiday home so they'd curtailed the holiday. Didn't warn us - wanted to 'surprise' us.

HA! They didn't catch me out!

Funny thing is, my friend and i were mates for years after that but we barely ever spoke about that day. It was just too odd.

Nice one Vanilla

re premonition in accidents, I don't know. I personally have never spoken to him about it (OH's uncle & godfather) he is about 80 now. It is kind of taboo, I know because I heard some of eldest generation muttering about it, there was some kind of "silence" declared around the subject in case he became branded with witchcraft when he was young (rurale european village) it may be a "sense" but he can see it in people he doesn't know, it is a visual thing, as if the person is out of focus.

re burn, DD didn't tell me immediately, when she did, I put her hand in cool water, it was a really mean 3rd degree burn, 2 days later, blister & all pain gone, just a scab. The woman healer was our hairdresser (gift passed down through her mother), she healed everyone in the village for burns, she helped me after dermato "burned" with cold treatment various dark spots, one above my lip which swelled madly, I bumped into her in the supermarket shortly after, she said, "let me try that", it was completely gone the next morning (unlike the various other smaller spots.) while she was able to help so many people, she was unable to help herself & died of cancer this year at 45,

I keep seeing the same figure every night at bed time and they were talking to me i had a convo with them for 40 mins no-one could see them apart from me now they have put me on anti psychotic tablets.

"re burn, DD didn't tell me immediately, when she did, I put her hand in cool water, it was a really mean 3rd degree burn"

What did they say about it at A&E?

Am I the only one who places bets with myself about how long it'll take BertrandRussell to turn up and piss on each new poster's chips?

You've so got a MN crush of Bert!

Since when has questioning the miraculous healing of a “mean third degree burn” on a child’s hand (with all the potential for permanent damage and restricted mobility that implies) been”pissing on people’s chips”? Ditto offering possible rational explanations- particularly on AIBU?

Are you saying that people want to stick to supernatural explanations? If so, why ask the question?

Yes BertrandRussell some people (not all, but some) do want to stick to supernatural explanations, I thought that was obvious

I love the expression "pissing on my chips" - it cracks me up no end.

Now, if only we could have a poster explain about why it is not a good idea to piss on chips and to perhaps give a scientific explanation to elaborate.

“Yes BertrandRussell some people (not all, but some) do want to stick to supernatural explanations, I thought that was obvious”

So why a)ask for explanations b) post on AIBU?

re burn, no A&E, it was a bad burn, but not all over her hand, She saw my SIL who is a paediatrician, & I had all the necessary bandages as my DS had formerly had a burn. I knew the routine, but didn't need it. The point is, the healer took the "heat" out of it.

name change fail

Not getting into your bun fight, and it's off topic, get back to the ghost stories !

oK, it was a not particularly serious burn which you put in cool water and two days later there was only a scab. That sounds pretty normal- I have one very similar on my wrist at the moment.

You make the mistake of thinking that anyone else asked for your opinion on wether or not their experiences are real.
